who are serving a life term In the pen
itentiary for the murder of officer
Glenn, of Wheeling. In its humble way
the Index has labored to secure such
pardon for years. That Christie IS inno-
cent OF the crime for which he Is being
punished, We have not the slightest
doubt. From what Is known here OF his
whereabouts he could not positively
been IN Wheeling at the hour when
officer Glenn was killed. II Christie Is
innocent. then under the evidence given
on the trial. Kelley must be also. These
facts are before Governor Atkinson and
we hope he will see 1t as we do and let
those fellows out. They are both COM
mon tramps. but friendless as they are,
they should not be punished for a
crime they did not commit.

[ Where Rc form /, Needed.

There are indicationsthat the proposed
curtailment Of the free mail delivery
system will not be carried out. The pro-
test that has gone up from every city in
the country seems to have had the effect
to cause the postmaster general to look
in other directions where the pruning
knife is needed in the interest OF econ
| omy, and in order to reduce the annual
deficiency TO the minimum.
| The other day the Intellgencer pointed
out That the trouble with the postoNlce
department not being able to pay its
way from the postal receipts was the
abuse OF the second-class postage rates.
by a class OF publications not legltl-
mately- entitled to the privileges OF the
mails under that rate. The country can
better do without the flood Of this sort Of
cheap literature sailing under false COL
ors than II can afford to have the cur
tailment of the free delivery system by
the reduction OF the forces OF letter car
riers and a decreased number Of deliver
les. Es5 Il.
It is stated upon official authority that
the abuse of the second-class privileges
causes an annual loss Of twenty million
dollars yearto the receipts Of the post,
office. department, A simple act OF Con-,
grees defining the. limit OF second-class
mail matter would abolish the main
cause Of the deficiency, and permit the
extension rather than the cutting or OF
the free delivery system. iS
This Is all that! Is needed, and Congress

righteous protection to the interests OF

form Is desirable even aside from the
financial benefit 1t would be to the postal
service. This would be an application Of
practical economy.
Maryland will have. for the first time
