THE Loud postal bill was beaten in the
house of representatives, being recon-
mitted to the committee. While the
bill may not be perfect one, it vas cor
rect in its intent-the correction of
abuses of the second class mail privilege,
and we believe it should have been
passed. There is no reason why pa
per covered novels and publications
issued for advertising purposes only,
should be Untitled to privileges designed
for the cheap circulation of newspapers
among the people. The postal deficit
each year comes from the carrying of sec
ond class matter, and the abuses of this
favorable rate should be corrected 1t is
surprising the number of newspaper
publishers who have been induced TO op-
pose this measure by the arguments OF
the periodical library publishers OF the
cities. Even though this bill is now out
of the way, some correction of the second
class mail abuses is bound to be made.

The Kline Show.

The show given by Kline and his
cinematographe and graphophoDe grand
is good enough To attract here the I'm
mense audiences that it draws elsewhere.
The weather last season did not prevent
his having packed house. as everybody
who had seen the show the night before
at Kalamazoo had done "a great deal Of
gratuitous advertising for it. The pic
lures are so wonderful that they beggar
description, and the graphophone music,
speeches, etc, is the best ever heard here.
The parade of the flower of the Spanish
army, the review of the troops at Tampa,
the explosion of the torpedo boat, the
passing of the troop-laden transports, the
wonderful dancing pictures, and the
most wonderful thing of all-the astron-
omer's dream, all elected the warmest ad-
miration and the most enthusiastic ap.
plause The funny features interspersed
lent animation to the show, and all in all
it is jewel of an attraction. The ad-
vantage of it over theatrical performan-
ces is that in the cinematographe show
you see the best theatrical features and
also things that cannot he otherwise put
on stage, and see them as naturally and
realistically as if you were looking at
them in an open field The thought of
looking at pictures never enters the head.
1t is the real, living, moving things the
gazer sees. and about it all is wrapped
the added charm of scientific mystery
that arouses thought and stimulates ed
ucation. 1t is a season ticket to the
best theater in the land, with trip
around the world thrown in. Paw Paw

Washington Letter.

(From the Northerner's correspondent
Washington, ID. c., March 27-The
truth has at last leaked out concerning
the tremendous preparations that have
been making by the powers, including
the United States for naval demonstra-
tion off the Chinese coast, where the
United States has now assembled the
largest feet it has in any part of the
world, including the Oregon, Monadnock,
New Orleans, Newark, and Castine, with
the Atlanta on the way. Great Britain
and Germany have also strengthened
their fleets greatly during the past month,
and the combined strength of the three
navies, joined to that of Japan, is now
believed to be greatly superior to any
force that can be brought against them.
This demonstration, it is now learned
from an unimpeachable source, is not in
tended to be made against the BOXERS,
that anti-foreign society whose machin-
ations have given plausible excuse for
assembling the fleets, but against Russia,
which, it is positively known, contem-
plates a coup against the other nations
in China. The czar, it has been known
for some time, has been collecting enorm-
Gus armies and fleets for action in some
part of the world, and the powers have
settled down to the conviction that it is
against China that he meditates action.
The dowager empress is known to be
strongly pro-Russian, Great Britain is
employed in South Africa, and every
thing seems propitious for the bear to
strike. But tentative agreements are
known to have been entered into between
Great Britain, the United States, Japan
and Germany, whereby any attempt at
Russian aggression will be opposed jointly.
President Mckinley and his cabinet are
all known to be strongly impressed with
the absolute necessity of maintaining
the open door in China, and they put no
faith In the Russian promises to observe
it-or at least, they are prepared for any
attempt by Russia to disregard our rights
there. The country need not be sur
prised, therefore, at the early receipt of
stirring news from the orient.
The Pan-American conference, first
conceived by Secretary Blaine and as
sembIed under his auspices in Washing
ton, years ago, is to have a successor
which will meet in the city of Mexico in

February, 1901. Some time ago, Secre-
tary Hay addressed letters to all the
American republics, asking what they
thought of the project of reconvening
and broadening the scope OF the agree
ments entered into at the former meet
ing, aud adding that Mexico has offered
to entertain the delegates. Sufficient
time has not elapsed for replies from the
countries most remote from Washington,
but all the nearer ones have replied en-
Enthusiastically in favor OF the proposal.
Within a week or two at the utmost, the
last formal responses are expected to
reach Washington, and in confident an
ticipation, the bureau of American re-
publics, created 10y the last conference,
and now including in its membership
every one of the republics, is taking up
the preliminary work of the meeting. The
conference promises to be of the great
est Importance, and can scarcely fail to
have tremendous significance to those
European powers which had hoped to
find the United States less guardful OF
American interests now that it had be-
contrary, this watchful interest in the
welfare OF the western continent has
notably increased since the occupation of
Philippines, and the American republics
are known To he thoroughly alive to the
benefits that must eventually accrue TO
them through the enforcement OF the
open door in China, the final eXtermlna-
tion of Spanish autocracy from the West
Indies, the determination to make the
Nicaragua canal national enterprise,
and the rapidly augmented power of the
United States to prevent future European
encroachments in this hemisphere. The
meeting will refrain frompolitical discus
sions and address itself solely TO CONNER
cial concerns.
Applications for increased circulation
under the clause permitting bank notes
to be issued to the total par value of the
bonds deposited instead of only 80 per
per cent thereof, are also pouring in so
that the circulation was increased over
S4,500000 during the past week. The
controller of the currency is shipping out
bank notes TO a value of over million a
a day. The treasury cash balance has
gone up by leaps and bounds during the
present calendar year. Beginning at
Sl33 595 453 on January 2, following the
present form of statement, the balance
rose to Sl42 ,490,973 on February /, Sl4S,-
362, ,S23 on March l, and finally to $751;
792,993 March II, owing to the excess of
customs and internal revenue receipts
over ordinary expenditures. This sur
plus will be employed to pay the differ
ences between the face value and pres
ent worth ON bonds refunded until the
cash balance begins to show signs of de
pletion. Secretary Gage will then call
upon the banks to surrender their depos-
its of public money in lots of ; per cent
at time upon notice of 10 days. 1t is
doubtful if any of these notices are re-
qured, and one or two will probably be
sufficient in any case.
