Last week the Senate Committee on
Post Offices and Post Roads reported
senator Buffers bill to establish a sys-
TEN of postal savings banks. II this
system could have been established
six months ago, the people would have
contributed enough money through

issuing bonds. 1t is to be hoped that
the bill will be taken up for action in

come for IT to make and that it cannot
complain OF q reduction Of its domestic

more than such profit to be received.
It's claimed by the rsiIroad compa-
nies, that the expenses Of domestic
business are greater in proportion than
the expenses incident to interstate
business. The difference, as estima-
ted by one of the most reliable wit
nesses in the Nebraska case, 10 about
10 per cent. But suppose it is - much
As 20 per cent. II the expenses incl
dent to domestic and foreign business,
were to the same proportion to each
other as the receipts from domestic and
foreign business are to each other, then
according to the report OF the Raleigh
Il CASTOR Railroad Company, the ex-
penses incident to domestic business,
(freight and passenger for the year
ending June 80, 1897, would be about
$9G,5l5. But il such expenses are to be
increased by 20 per cent. thereof, such
percentage would be $4,000. The To-
cal freights and fares in North Caro-
lima are higher than the through
freights and fares. 1t is supposed that
the difference between the cost OF DO
mestic service and the cost of the inter-
State service, is somewhat Offset by this
difference in rates. But, if this be not
80, there is still a liberal margin left
between the 103 per cent. profit which
the company will receive on its d0mes-
tic freight and passenger business, in
spite of the reduction of passenger
fares, and a reasonable profit of per
cent to cover this difference in cost,
such margin being 'O5O3 per cent Of
1924 ,s66.2O or $31 ,43O.76.
Besides, it must not be forgotten,
that the practical abolition of the free
pass system In North Carolina, will
necessarily add thousands of dollars
to the revenue Of the railroad. This
and the income earned by the increase
of travel, following the reduction of
rates, will more than make up for the
loss occasioned by such reduction.
The experience of railroad compa-
MES in Europe, as we'll as in this coun-
try, has been uniform, in that reduction
of passenger fares have always been
followed by an increased volume of
travel, generally more than counter
balancing the loss directly caused by
the reduction.
1t is submitted that the reports
which have been filed by the Raleigh
and CASTOR Railroad Company, with
the Railroad Commission, furnish data
which fully Justify the proposed re-
ductiOn of passenger rates.

The marines laid down their car
bines, picks and shovels and tent
poles and gave . mighty shout.
On the way from Santiago the
Yankee bombarded . small block
house and fort at Dsiquiri, setting
them on fire in Q few minutes. This
occasioned but brief delay, and the
squadron arrived in the hsrbor here
shortly before 2 o'clock.
As soon as it was seen that no re

small boats were put overheard and
the landing party was soon ashore

The Cost of Cable Messages.
New York Sun

New York Sun.
The many cable lines and the re-
sultant competition have brought
the cost of communication between
New York and London down to a
fairly low figure, 25 cents per word,
when one tries to reach more remote
parts of the world, where the line is
controlled by a single government,
or company, or where there is little
business to support it, the cost of
sending messages amounts to alarm
ing figures. To send ten words
from New York to Manila, for in
stance, cost $23 so, or So. 10 per word
beyond London. This is the COM
mercial rate. Newspaper dispatches
go for half this sum, but even So,
the cost of bringing column of
news from the PHILIPPINES mounts up
to nearly four figures. Even from a
point so near as Curacao, which be-
came for a short time, the centre Of
news interest, the commercial rate
by the cheapest route is $1,9S. These
two samples will give fair lntima-
ton of the immense sums being ex-
pended by the newspapers in gath
ering information about the war.
