"The cost to the Government OF trans
mitting the 365 200. 900 pounds OF second
class mail matter carried during the past
fiscal year is estimated at $29. .0O0. 600: the
postal revenue received from il is esti-
mated at $4,000, 900, leaving loss, on
transportation alone. of $2i.O00.000.
These figures convey their own COM
ment. 1t Is impossible to continue the
present system of second-class mail trans
portation without eventually swamping the
revenues of the postal service
"A bill was favorably reported to the
Fifty fourth Congress to remedy this
wrong, but failed OF passage. Ii is FRO
posed to exclude from second-class rates
paper-covered books, whether purporting
to be premiums or supplements 10 reg
ulate the transmission of so-called sample
copies; TO increase the rate of postage on

control the admission to second-class rates
of publications of self-styled benevolent
societies.
Postmaster General Smith said:
Il earnestly hope that this or some SIM
liar measure may be enacted into law Cur
ing the coming session of Congress- IL
this were done there would be an end to
postal deficits, and the service could be
enlarged and popularized by broad ex-
tension of free delivery without infringe
ment upon the general resources OF the
Government. and eventually result in the
much desired reduction Of letter postage 10

CLEMENCY FOR RAFAEL ORTIZ
Life Sentence for the Porto Rican
slayer of Soldier Burke.

Life Sentence for the Porto Ricnn
slayer of Soldier Burke.
The order announcing the Communication
To life imprisonment of the sentence to
death of Rafael Ortiz for the murder of an
American soldier in Porto Rico. was issued
by the War Department yesterday. 1t says:
Rafael Ortiz, a native of Porto Rico, having
been tried and found guilty of murder and Of
carving concealed weapons, both in violation of
the laws of war, by military commission con-
ycned at San Juan, Porto Rico, February 16, 1892
was sentenced to suffer death at such time and
place and in such manner the proper authori-
ties nav direct, two-thirds of the commission con-
curing therein.
Bv direction of the President the sentence in
the case of Rafael Ortiz is commuted to imprison-
mcnt at hard labor for life, and the prisoner viii!
he sent TO the Minnesota State prison, saltwater
Minn for the execution Of his sentence.
Ortiz is the Porto Rican who killed Pri-
vate Burke, of the Forty-seventh New
York. The communication of his sentence
was secured by the people of his native
town, who appealed to Secretary Alger for
clemency when the Secretary was in Porto
Rico. There is love affair at the bottom
of this tragedy. to the effect that Burke
alienated the affections of Ortiz's fiancee,
and jealousy drove the discarded lover to
commit murder.

sons engaged in privat, enterprises, and
inures simply to their cmoiuments. with
out any appreciable benefit to the public
at large while the loss on this service.
now amounting to more than $26, ,OOO,OOo
year. is betrayed out of the proceeds OF
taxation drawn from all classes Of the
people.
The earliest concsssion-one to which
little or no objection on the ground OF
public policy has ever been raised-was
made TO publishers Of country newspapers.
and permitted them TO send one copy OF
their paper free to each subscriber living
within the county Of publication. This
was followed up by granting to publishers
of newspapers the right to send out their
issues beyond the limits of the county at
nominal price of l cent a pound. To
this also no serious objection was made,
SO long as the exercise of the privilege
was confined to legitimate newspapers.
But when, by subsequent legislation.
paper-covered novels and reprints of books
were included under the cent-a-pound
clause as periodicals or supplements;
when so-called newspapers, or house Or
gans, issued primarily for advertising pur-
poses for the benefit of business firms. and
when publications claiming to emanate
from fraternal or benevolent societies were
given the right of transmittal at cent a
pound, and the same rate was established
for the return OF unsold papers and peri
odicals, the abuses of the system became
apparent but the difficulty OF correcting
the evil seems to have grown in exact ratio
with its demands on the Treasury.
THE weight of mail matter carried under
provisions Of the law, originally intended
to confer a public benefit, but since per-
verted to purposes of wrong and injustice.
is increasing in ominous proportions. Its
growth. stated in round figures, has been
