annually, yet there is a deficit
Of $15,OOO,0OO, and one of the
works of the coming session of
congress will be to devise means
to put the department on a pay
ing basis. In order to do this
the government must either pay
the railroads less for transmit
ting mail matter or restrict the
privileges of publishers. The
government should pay the
railroads less; the railroads are
getting more than they ought
to for carrying the mails. The
commission will investigate the
subject of railway pay this ses-
sion. The rent of postal cars
will also receive attention no
doubt. The government now
pays from $1,000 to $4,000 per
annum for each car, which is
about the cost of the car. Any
radical, substantial reform is
not looked for, but some reform
alongthis line is certainly badly
needed at once. A reduction of
80 per cent in the rent of cars
would place the department on
a paying basis and leave a sur
plus besides to be used in fur
Their improving the department
and reducing the cost of postage
to the people.

The Political Trend.

The surprisingly large vote which the
young Socialist Labor party cast in such
agricultural states as Washington and
Kansas, coupled with the decay of the
old Populist party and the almost gen.
eral defeat of the fusion forces at the
late election, is subject of general com
ment in the reform press. In both the
above mentioned states the S. L. P. en-
tered the field the first time this fall
and in Kansas the party cast nearly 700
votes, while in the state of Washington
the vote is approximately 1000. This
large vote is evidently due to the fact
that the farmers and mechanics in the
Western states who have hitherto sup
ported middle-of. the-road Populism are
beginning to vote the S. L. P. ticket.
Since the election such middle-of-the
road paper as Living Issues of Salt Lake
City, Utah, has openly given up the
Populjst ghost and advocates voting for
Socialism.

Organize the Drivers.

There is plan on foot to organize all
the drivers of the different delivery
wagons of the city. Organizer Garland
thinks this can be done and strong
union effected. 1t certainly does seem
a most excellent idea. The Laundry
Wo, kers' union would be strengthened
by such an organization. To have the
drivers of just one particular trade or
business organized does not bring it's re-
ward. To have all drivers OF the city
organized into one organization, or to
become different branches of federal
union certainly seems more feasible.
The work is not a trade that requires a
certain time served as an apprentice as
do the different crafts represented in the
Trades Assembly. Mr.. Garland has nc
definite idea as yet what form the work
will take, but man. of the drivers are
anxious that he should start the ball
a.rolling. and meeting will be called
soon to talk the matter over.

A LIFE OF WILLIAM F. CODY.
Written by His Sister and to he Pub
jlShed In Duluth,

Oddly enough there has never been
published an anywhere's near complete
or authentic life of william r. Cody
! ("Buffalo Bill'') scout and Snowman, but
the deficiency is soon to be made good
by Mrs. Wetmore, sister of the famous
American, who is at present engaged
upon the work. Historically and geo.
graphically the life will be correct, as
we'll as literally true, without veneering
or exaggeration. That this story holds
the reader fascinated from beginning to
end is only another proof THAT truth is
stranger than fiction"
In spite Of liberal and Aattering offers
from eastern publishers, Mrs. Wetmore;
with characteristic loyalty to Duluth
and faith in its capabilities that has
ever been evinced by her, intends, if
possible, to have the book gotten out in
this city. This'means big contract, as
it will be sold on the grounds of the
Wild West Show, and will have the ad-
vantage of the thousands of dollars
spent by the show in advertising each
year. This being the case, it Of course
will not need the influence Of any old
established publishing house to get it
before the public.
Over g, million copies of the autobiog-
raphy of P. T. Baraun were sold in his
show alone in two seasons. This will
furnish some idea of the probable sale Of
this work, as the life of Colonel Cody
from the cradle to the presens time, pre-
sents him in tho various aspects of
trainman, pony express rider, soldier,
scout, Indian fighter, actor and show
man, and makes a history Of much more
thrilling interest than that Of one whose.
renown lies only in. his career OF Show.
man. Outside of it's sales in the show,
the book will be put upon every railroad
and every news stand in, the country,
and will DO handled; by agents as we'll.
ct will be readily seen that its sales will
be enor naous, and Duluth will reap, a
great benefit, for the publication of the
book, the lumber for tho boxing, and
the freight bills will all bring money in
to the city.

SOME FACTS ABOUT MUNICH.
PAL OWNERSHIP.

| In Glasgow. Scotland, 30 per cent of
street railway fares are l per cent, and
the average of all fares is under cents,
yet the city's roads made a profit of SILL
900 in the first eleven months of munich.
pal operation.
In Switzerland, from the smallest vii
lage, telephone message can be sent to
any place in the republic for five cents.
Government ownership of the telephone
here would give an equally reasonable
rate, or nearly so.
Last year Manchester, England made
profit of 100000 from it's municipal
electric light. Bradford made 100000
and Edinburg made ST. 500. In no case,
as yet has municipal ownership proved
Improbable.
The Baltimore says the city of Jack
eonviIle, Fla, gets about $1,000 month
from it's municipal plant for commercial
electric lighting. The plant cost 100000.
In Berlin the public street railways
sell yearly tickets to go in and out five
miles. as often as you please, for $3.50 a
year, running average of about ten
miles for cent. Yet profit of 40 per
cent is made on the passenger traffic.
In Switzerland there are relief sta
tons for the unemployed, where they
are given food and meals. The price
charged for a dinner is cents, and IS
cents for nights lodging. In 1896
10000 were cared for at these relief sta
tons.
The fact that Chicago. under the sys-
tenn of private ownership of the electric
lights, paid $3.50 year per light, while
under public ownership the city pays but
S96 per year, shows the enormous profits
secured by electric lighting companies.

Most men seem to be mer,
automatons. They follow tn
actions of those preceding then
as do ants and bugs. They &C
cept as right and immutable
the habits and customs they
find about them. They have
! no more conception of the char
acter of the ball called the earth
and the little animals called
men moving about on it, than
a last years birds nest. All
their schemes and running and
planning for accumulating pri-
vate wealth as means to hap
piness or glory will be as dust
in the hurricane of time. The
world has obliterated like ef-
forts in all the past, and the fu-
ture will repeat the history of
the past. Wealth never brought
happiness nor the love of his
fellows to the possessor, and
glory is an empty dream that
has covered the earth with
blood and fire horrors Only
the works that have been done
for the public veal survive.
Noble thoughts penned by beg
gars have lived for thousands
of years, while the great and
rich who lived with them are
as unknown as the forest leaves
of a past generation. And yet
in no period have men been
more greedy and more cruel in
the pursuit of private wealth
than to-day. They have turned
the world into great slave pen
for the workers, and then
gam 5le to see who shall have
the spoils from their labor.
Emerson said that to him it
seems the earth was an asylum
to which the gods had sent
their insane angels. Surely
past history, with all it's crime
and greed and oppression, is
not the record of men with rea-
son., And the present is like
unto the past.

How Does Ii Seem to You?

1t seems to me I'd like to go

Nor clocks don't strike. nor gongs don't sound
And Id have stiffness all around.
Not real stiffness. but just the trees
Low whisperings or the hum OF bees
Or brooks faint ba billing over stones
In strangely, softly tangled tones.
Or avbe cricket or katydid.
Or the songs of birds in the hedges hid.
Or just some such sweet sound as these
To ill a tired heart with ease.

And get ont where the sky ia blue:
And say, now, how does it seem to you?

The organization of an "anti-
inperialist league, said to be
backed by liberal funds for cam
paign purposes, marks the be-
ginning Of what may be an i'm
portant political issue of the
near future. The movement is
intended to oppose with the ut
most vigor or systematic effort
the acquisition of the Philip
pine islands, and to this end
petitions will be. widely circu-
lated for signatures to give
strength and form to the pro-
test, which is to be presented
to the administration, or to con-
gress, or both. The circular,
which has already been pre-
pared by the league, says the
signers protest against any ex-
tension of the sovereignty Of
the United States over the Phil
ippines, in any event, or over
any other foreign territory with
out the free consent Of the .peo~
pie thereof. This would seem
to be the constitutional way OF
acquiring foreign territory, but
the efforts of the anti-imperial-
lists to stem the tide of greed
will prove as Intellectual as the
efforts of Nerxes to still the
ocean and defy Minerva. The
waters would not be stilled
Minerva would not be defied
and all there is left for the anti
imperialists to do is like
Aerxes, to bow their heads ir
anticipated defeat.

PRESIDENT SLOAN NAY RETIRE.

1t would seem that the talk concerning
the retirement of Samuel Sloan from the
presidency of the Lackawanna Railroad
Company is something more than news
paper gossip. 1t is generally believed
that the Vanderbilt and New Jersey
Central interests will have larger rep
resentation in the Board of Directors of

ing which will be held in February. In
case Mr.. Sloan resigns and his eighty
second birthday was passed on Sunday

a NEW SEWER PLAN.

We understand the question of estab-
fishing a system of sewers in Morristown
win probably be discussed at the ensuing
meeting of the Board of Aldermen.
The CHRONICLE, in common with a
large portion of our business men and
residents. has maintained that a COM
plete system of sewers was an absolute
necessity for the town. and that the soon-
or some system, and it must be the very
best, could be put in operation, just SO
much sooner would the place make
rapid growth. Delay in this matter
means to court an Epidemic of fever
which would almost irretrieyably dam
age al town which has for years enjoyed
a w9ll-deserved reputation for health
fulness.
