For the Democratic Advocate
Rural Free Delivery.

The general objections to the so-called
Rural Free Delivery are embodied in the res
olutions adopted at the meeting at Odd Eel
lows Hall, Westminster, on the 18th instant,
which as everyone knew, who were present,
was as representative meeting as could be
had owing to the Indictment weather, and
which meeting was practically unit in oppo-
sition to the present system, the assertion of
certain officials to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. These resolutions represent the views
of the petitioners of the county and they ought
to and no doubt will stand by them. That
the present system is becoming more unsatis-
factory and unpopular every day is plainly
manifest. 1t now requires twenty-four hours
longer to send a communication to Baltimore
and receive a reply thereto, than it did under
the star route system. Another serious OBJ
lection to the present system is the careless
and Indifferent manner in which the mail is
handled and promscuously distributed by the
carriers. Perhaps they do the best they can
with the system under which they are work
| ing. 1t is no uncommon thing to hear people
remark that it takes twice as long to receive a
letter from certain points than it did under the
| efficient star route system. A certain carrier
was asked: "Do you carry scales to weigh
mail matter? He replied that he did not.
Then he was asked if he was handed pack
age how he would know how much postage it
would require? II would guess at it, " he re-
piled. 'and when l arrived at the distributing
Office would have the postmaster there rate
it up. Then if have charged the party too
much (for always guess enough) | would
hand the change to them the next morning"
If the party lived off the route of the carrier,
which is frequently the case, they would be
| compelled to meet him. Could you imagine
such perfect ~ systems 1t is useless for
US to rehearse the many disadvantages and in
conveniences for the people are experiencing
them much against their wishes. As the Ad-
vocate said in one of its editorials There
is one unanswerable argument against the new
system-that the postal facilities were quite
satisfactory to the people and the change was
not sought by them,e yet we are defantly
told by certain officials who are injoying
"Littls Tom Horner's Plums'' that the pres
ent system has come to stay. We cal't think
yet that the postoffice officials at Washington,
nor Congressman Baker, will force anything
on the people that they do not want.

From the Omaha World Herald.
Every day we discover that we purchased
something new from Spain. 1t Is rapidly
dawning upon the American mind that we
got an immense lot of truck from Spain for
that $40, 0e0, 900. We got an expensive war,
we got the hatred of former friends, we got a
market for American collins for American
soldiers. and it may be that we have secured
the privilege of paying lot of Engishmen 8
per cent on the S., 900, 900 they invested in

dangerous precedent. Roberts had as much
right to seat in the House as any other mem.

We clip the following from the
Columbia State regarding the excel

Young in placing Unions bonds at
4per cent. and at premium. Mayor
Young deserves the highest words Of
praise, not only because the bonds
were placed at this figure, but BE-.
cause he made the fight single hand
ed and alone in the Council Chamber
against very strong opposition, which
contended for giving an option on
$40,O Of bonds. The mayor finally
carried the day against the option

was found that competition had re-
suited in securing terms said to be
the best ever offered, with two excep-
tions only, q city of under loo, 900
people. There were two bids for I
per cent. bonds. One from Ciucin-
natl house offered par, but required
a deduction Of 5 $50 as IL commits

award was made to an Atlanta man,
who offered l0l05 for ( per cents,
