~ Inun POSTAL ELL.

The Loud postal bill which is now
before congress Is intended to remove
the annual deficiency in the postal de-
partment By charging 3 higher rate OF
postage on certain classes Of PuOlica-
lions, and placing restrictions upon all
publishers Of neswppers, periodicals
and books
The postal department has never been
self-sustaining. That was not the
principle upon which it was establish
cd and put on its present state OF useful
ness and efficiency. Its purpose was
TO facilitate bushes and promote pub
lie intsIIizence. This is thoroughly IN
derstoOd and there is no good reason
for change OF policy at this late day
II economy Is what is aimed at, let
Il begin at abuses Of the frsuking
privilege and the mailing Of tons Of
useless public documents to lumber
the mails in the interests Of stufhug
estimates as a basis Of railroad con-
tracts for Carrying mail matter. There
are few postOfHees not cluttered with
quantities Of this trash undelivered
and unread by anybody.
Then let them look into the fraudu-
lent use Of the mails in the sending
out campaign documents, and sheets
that are little less than advertisements
Of some Washington pension attorney.
These would be reasonable reforms
that would be justified By facts OF the
existence Of gIaring abuses and would
be heartily approved by the people.
Again, the railroads are charging
the government exorbitant rates for
Carrying the mails, as compared with
the same service performed for the ex-
press companies. Where the express
companies pay the railroads one cent
per pound to haul their packages the
government pays eight cents per pound
for substantially the same service
carrying the mail. It has been esti-
mated that if the government should
pay only the same as express cOmpani-
es there would be an annual saving Of
from 100000 to s15,OOO,OOO. As the
annual deficit is 100000 this one
step would put the department upon a
paying basis to say nothing Of being
self-sustaining.
The objections to the Loud bill are
many. 1t virtually establishes a press
censorship. It does away with the
sample copy privilege, which means
much to every newspaper. 1t gives to
pOstmasters unlimited authority in
deciding who are bona f1de subscribers
to paper. 1t gives to the party in
power the privilege Of denying second
class mail rates to any paper through
political motives or for other selfish OF
partisan ends. 1t is a blow aimed at
the freedom Of the press.

Senator Lucien Baker Of Kansas voted
against the senate proposition to take
up the Teller resolution which sfhrms
the substance Of the Stanley Mathews
resolution passed by the senate and
house in 1878. The administration
congressman is very versatile. No

his constituents, when the bell wether
president, who has gone back on the
records Of his lifetime, jumps to the
opposite OF the fence, they bleat 'me

THE RUsTLERs.

Way out in Cherry county
o. the North LOup river bank,
A little mound on the sandy ground
Marks the grave Of Hark-Up Hank.
There never was a drawer soul
And he always used to boast
That on the day death came his way
It would find him at his post.
Now Hank and his pard were BUSTERS"
Nothing bothered them bit,
For there wasn't brand in all the land
They couldn't counterfeit
This worried all the stOckmen
That ranged the cattle there,
And every man thought Of a plan
To down the foxy pair.
Late one summer morning,
While preparing for a Job,
Both OF the boys heard certain noise
That caused their hearts to throb.
It wasn't an angels whisper,
But the crack Of fOrty-fOur,
And the gallant Hank, so tall and Iank,
Fell to rise no more.
His partner skipped the country
It was the proper thing to do;
If seen again By the cattlemen
He would die with his boots on, too.
In concluding now this story
I viii say that it is so.
Cause Hank an ne was pards, ys see,
An reckon ought ter know"

FHE srANLEY MATEFRs RESOLUTION.

EHE STANLEY MATHEWS RESOLUTION.
Senator Stanley Mathews, of Ohio,
afterwards justice OF the supreme
court OF the United States, formulated
and offered the following resolution in
the United States senate in January,
1878: (leaving out for the sake Of brew
ity the four preambles referring back TO
the credit strengthening act, Of 1869;
the refunding act, Of 1870; the minting
act, OF 1887, and the resumption OF
specie payment act, Of 1871
Resolved By the senate 1.-THE house Of repre-
sentatives cOncurring therein). That all the
bonds issued By the United States, issued or
authorized to De issued under the said acts Of
congress hereinbefOre recited, are payable. prin-
Gipal and interest, at the option Of the govern
ment Of the United States. in silver dollars Of
the coinage Of the United States, containing
&l25S grains each Of standard silver; and that
TO restore to its coinage such silver coins as a
legal tender IN payment Of s1ch bonds princi-
pal and interest, is not IN violation Of the pub
lie faith nor in derOgatiOn Of the rights Of the
public Congressional Record, volume
,, part 1, Forty-Fifth congress, second session
page SCI.
The resolution passed the senate a
to - The resolution was concurred
in By the house by the decisive vote Of
1S9 to 79. Among those voting for it
we're William Mckinley, now president,
John G. Carlisle, ex-secretary Of the
treasury, ROdger Q. Mills, William NJ.
Springer, and ex-secretary OF the treas
ury, Charles Foster OF Ohio.
Comment is unnecessary. They have
turned a somersaUlt and have made
their bed with the gold bugs. The
Teller resolution embodies the same
public policy. It can never get through
the administration phalanx in the
house. Is it the same grand, old
party?"
