Free Delivery.

1t is contemplated by the Postos-
flee Department to introduce the free
delivery system in the whole country
as rapidly as circumstance will justify.
For several years experiments have
been going on In certain rural dis
tricSs ard the results have been so
satisfactory as to encourage the ex-
tention of the system. The following
from the Washington correspondent
OF the Philadelphia Ledger contains
statements of interest to the public:
Postmaster General Chsrles Emory
Smith has framed his estimates TO be
submitted to Congress, and will ask
in aggregate of abou. $12I, 900, 900
as the apl reputation for the entiis
service for the fiscal year ending
June 80 1902. This included an es.
innate Of 50, 100000 for the rural free
delivery system. By the close of
this fiscal Year 1900 rural free de-
livery routes through the United
States will have been established,
and the general extention contem-
plated for the next year Wilt involve
about $500 additional rou as. The
SUCCESS of the serv ce so far instituted
bas resulted in plans for a very
general eXtention next year. The
Postmaster General, together with
other officials, is investigating the
feasibility tf putting the service 10
operation at every point through the
country not reached by the regular
free delivery services in operation in
the cities.
1t does not appear from the above
statement that The Postmaster Gen
eral anticipates any considerable
change in the postal laws by which
the expenses of the service might be
reduced. The amount called for by
the department is enornois, Sl2I.-
Co., 900 for the next fiscal year. 1t
is not so easy to understand how the
free delivery system can be so large
ly extended without producing a
heavy deficit. A re classification of
mail matter would remedy the evil
and make it easy to improve the
mail facilities without any additional
caerge. 1t is useless to talk about

Iowa State Res 'ste--l
Hon. John w. Kern, TIE defeated
Democratic candidate for Governor
of Indiana. has presented the follow
ing pen picture 90 the 'so-called in
dependent" press.
1.-The so-called independent press
contributed largely to Repubublican
success. Democrats, whose patron
age had enjoyed, shoulI not hesitate
to give these gentlemen full credit in
this regard. While they denounce
trusts and high tariffs end protested
alarm at an imperial policy which
they inveighed against betose McKin
ley's denomination, yet Mark Hanna's
Influence was SO subtle and seductive
that as soon as the campaign opened
they ate their words with apparent
relish, and there was no campaign
lie invented by any depraved GU ter
snipe that was not parsded in their
news columns, and did not receive
editorial sanction aud approval.
This independent press will not
resume its old time place in the field
of independent Journalism. and pso-
coed to denouoce imr erialism and
trusts, and criticise with great seve-
its McKinleys naturalization and
Hsnna's scorndrelism; and having
filed their Golfers with Democratic
sheckles, will be ready at the con-
mencement Or the next campaign TO
again harken to the voice of Hanna,
aud indorse every hing they have
heretofore denounced
Mr.. Kern should have admitted
that the thriftiest independent"
papers ale those which altsroate
their political opinions ever other
day. All such papers ale only 'in-
dependent" because their managers
can thus add to their own personal
cash accounts. The people should
realize that fact and govern them
selves.
