Improbable Economy.

Congressman Loud. of Cali
fornia, Is actively pushing his
pet measure-the bill to alter
the present laws relating to
seeond-class mail matter. This
bill failed of passage at the last
session of Congress, and it is to
be hoped that it will again
meet a like fate. The bill
places a host of restrictions
upon publishers and practically
leaves them at the mercy of
the postmaster generals within.
Under Its provisions the cheap
paper editions OF Dickins. Scott
and other standard authors
must advance in price. as the
publishers of such works will
be debarred from sending them
through the mails at present
rate of postage, one cent per
pound. Instead. they will be
mailable at eight cent per
pound. which. as these books
frequently weigh as much as a
pound, viii advance prices to
the public to that exent. IfNr.
Loud should devote his ener-
gies to reducing the exhor-
bitant rates now paid to the
railroads by the Government
for the transportation of mails.
he would speedily transform
the annual deficiency in the
postal department TO a surplus.
