THE POSTOFFICE DEFICIT.

Q MT. Loud's bill to correct the abuses ot the / \ second-cass mail privilege has been defeated
 in the House by the comparatively large ma jory of Io2 to IIo, 1t Is clear that some other means will have to be devised for reducing postofhce expen- ditures unless this Congress intends to permit the postoflce to remain burden upon the Government and cause for general taxation
 Upon those who defeated the bill ought to rest the responsibility for devsing some other remedy This, however, cannot be expected of them The great majority of the adverse vote was made up ot Demo crats and Populists and these parties are not em- nent tor success in constructive Legislation Ihey are vigorous enough i'll opposition to Republican meas ures, but when anything affirmative IS asked of them they fail utterly either to agree among themselves or to devise anything on which others can agree
 There has been more or less talk tor some time past of reducing postal expenditures by reducing the amounts paid railroads for transportation Some of the statistics used in argument for this plan are cer tainly of nature to justify belief that much might be saved III that way without doing wrong to the transportation companies The plan, however, Up to this time has lacked official recommendation, and that fact dscredts the fair showing made by its sup porters and incnes to the belief that the hgures given by them may be inaccurate or so Jugged as to present appearance quite different from the reality.
 The Loud bill was a fair and commendable one It dealt with abuse known to exist and proposed a remedy that would have been just to the taxpayers and beneficial to the Postoffice Department. The privilege of second class low rates of postage was designed for the benefit of newspapers and genuine periodicals, and incidentally for the general public that desires the and reads magazines and re- views. Advantage has been taken of the law to send through the mails second class matter thousands of pounds of advertising circulars trashy novels and other stuff of the kind, for which the people have and for the transportation of which they should not be made to pay The postoffce should not be made to bear the burden and do the work of dis trbuting this great of trash and truck and if its transportation entaed deficit 1t would be well to make it pay full postage rates and pay the cost of handling it.
 A bill similar to that which has just been defeated was passed by the House last year by of IA Io4 It is not clear why the result different this year, but there is this much encouragement to be drawn from the situation that since the House has changed once it may change again, and when the public mind has been thoroughly educated on the subject we shall have the remedy provided and the wrong removed.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN LONDON.

D Y the sweeping victory of the Progressives over the Moderates in the London elections on D Thursday evidence is furnished that at least one of the many consolidated city governments of the time has given satisfaction to its people. With sixty-seven Progressves elected against forty Moderates the County Council will go forward with its work of municipal improvement and carry out in London many of those civic enterprises which have proven so successful in the smaller cities of Glasgow and Birmingham
 The very names given to- the opposing parties in the contest reveal the nature of the issue between them and the lines on which they were divided In national politics the citizens of London either Conservatives, Liberals or Radicals; Tories or Wings; Unionists or Home Rulers; but in this cleo ton they abandoned all national party ties, chose names for their contending factions and divided the sole question whether the County Council should go forward or halt, whether it should have more power or less.
 The London Speaker few weeks ago in discuss ing the election stated the issue at stake ill these words: "If the Londoners want abolish the Coun- cil or at least to render it futile and mpraccable institution, they had better return a Moderate ma jorty but if they think themselves capable of aging their affairs and desire that their repre- sentatives should work themselves instead of ob- strucng the work of others, they will elect solid fTORTeSSlVeS ton and meet the demands of London" The Lon doners have answered the question. They have de- cided to continue the work of making old London a modern city-pacing it, in fact, among the most progressive municipalities of the time
 The triumph is notable for those who desire to see municipal government become much more important part of politics than has been in the past London is conservative city It votes against home rule Few of its boroughs return Liberals to Parliament Yet in this election its citizens have shown they be liberal enough where their local affairs are concerned. They elected John Burns, a day aborer, over the Earl of Denbigh nowithstand- ing the fact that the Earl is of the richest men i'll the empire and that both he and his Countess made house to house canvass of the district; but they did not elect Burns because of any prejudice against rich or noblemen, for they also elected such Lord Hardwickc, Baron Monkwell, Sir Horace Farquahar and Sir Tunde Maple the latter of whom is connected with of the big depart ment stores of London and may be therefore consd-

First, let's have the whisky" The whisky bottle was passed over, and, after pour ing out good-sized wad the stranger called for syphon soda, which he squirted on top until the glass was filled. Then, lifting 1t to his Rps, he drained it to the dregs and wandered over to the free lunch counter, where he toyed with a sandwich.

WILL BRYAN FIGHT7

Nd R. WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN, dis / tinguished citizen of Nebraska, gives it as his opinion that in the event of war between the United States and Spain there is no doubt we could Tick 'em" MT Bryan did not illuminate this opinion until he had consulted Judge A. M. Jackson who, according to the newspaper correspondent guilty of transmitting the interview is celebrated urist of the Popuisc- Democratic school. We may, therefore, that Mir. Bryan's view has been carefully considered, and that he is willing to stand by it in 1t is disputed
 But it is to be noted this juncture that the ques ton whether not the United States would be able to Tick" Spain in the event of a war Is not at all equal in absorbing interest to the other question which we now ask Would Mr. Bryan, the distin- guished citizen of Nebraska go to the front and fight ill case of trouble? In short would Mr. Bryan help us to Tick 'em'?
 Everybody is of the fact that the great Nebraskan's jaw is equal to any conflict But talk never won real battle A careful and discriminative use of lead and gunpowder determines the result of genuine war, and no matter how valiant Mir. Bryan may be in wordy controversy, in actual physical fiict he might not loom up at all. We have no hesi- tation in saying, however that Mr. Bryan will help us to lick em a majority of the people of the United States will favor immediate with Spain
 There IS general desire to get the distinguished Nebraskan into some kind of fight in which his Jawbone will not count. He is rapidly talking the American people to death, and we doubt whether the United States as nation will long survive his ora tory and arguments" But if he would go to the front with musket with Spain might be worth all it would cost For one thing we would hear no more of his free silver blather and for another he might take up his permanent residence in Cuba after the war, which would impose upon this country a ong-needed rest.
 It is too much to hope, however, that Mir. Bryan will fight Unless the impending conflict with Spain is placed on basis of 32 to the discount probably would not be sufficiently pointed to engage his at- tention.
