POSTAGE STAMPS.
The Recommendation Of the Third Assistant
Postmaster General.

Third Assistant Postmaster General

clares that the postoffice department
ought to have complete control over the
manufacture and issue of its stamps. He
says the postoffice department should be
independent of other departments as we'll
as of private characters: that it should
have its own engraving and printing es-
tablishment for making its stamps. and
its own vaults for their safe keeping, and
these stamps should be issued by its own
agents to postmasters, and through its
own exclusive machinery. With properly
bonded officers and under a suitable Sys-
TEN of checks and balances. which could
easily be devised. this would be a far bet
ter arrangement. This may be done, in
appropriations annually made for the
manufacture of stamps, and for the pay
of agents and employees to watch their
distribution.

urges that prepayment in full of all mail
matter be required hereafter. Very little
loss occurs in connection with the mailing
and delivery of third and forth-class
matter, because the law requires full pre-
payment on these classes. The bulk of
such loss in the first class matter.

wherein Encouragement Consists.

The Democrats say they are en-
couraged by the results of the elec-
tions. But are they sufficiently en-
couraged to come out in the open at
and talk Accent dollars, corruption Of
the courts, reputation and revolution
and risk their all on the Chicago plat
form as they did last year? And un-
less they do this is there in the recent
elections any encouragement to think
they can win, or win even under those
conditions without fusion with ele-
ments which they hitherto have been
unable to hold in the leash?
Is there anything of surprising, ma
tional significance in the elections held
Tuesday?
In Ohio at the beginning of the cam
paign it looked as if the Republican
victory would be larger than it was
had changed. At the beginning of the
campaign the Democrats thrust the
Chicago platform up in sight of every
one. Toward the close they endeavored
to conceal it by every artifice. In the
populous districts of that state the
senators and representatives are
elected on the general ticket. In those
counties, Hamilton, Cuyahoga, Lucas
and Franklin, in which are the cities
of Cincinnati, Cleveland, Toledo and
Columbus, the fight centered. In near
ly all of those places local politics COM
pletely overshadowed the national view
of the situation. In the county, Ham,
ilton, which went for fusion, Bryan
was excluded. The Democrats did not
dare to have him preach Organism to
the people there, did not wish their
attention turned from the local ques-
tions. They were victorious in their
cowardly policy. But they did not
carry the state as they have not in
frequently done on "off" years. Surely
not much encouragement by com
parison, and not the least If they
expect to win in the future on the
issues of incendiarism as they sought
to do last fall. The Buckeye State had
a million votes last November and a
change in $4,000 Of those was sufficient
to wipe out President McKinley's ma
jorty. That change was not effected,
Tuesday, Notwithstanding the fact
thousands OF voters remained away
from the poll on account Of the drench-
ing rain storm. Everything con-
sidered, the weather, the off year
apathy, the friction and jealousies
liable to make themselves felt especial
ly in an Ohio election when the Repub-
licans are not aroused by a national
call and issues, the result in that state
is one to encourage the Republicans
rather than the Democrats.
As to New York the only surprising
thing about 1t is that the folly OF the
