The Loud bill, which has for its object
the reform of the postal system SO far as the
transmission of second class matter is con-
cerned, Is again before the House of Repre-
sentatives. 1t is generally regarded as be-
ing In advance of present conditions, but as
long as the rate for the transmission of
such matter is left at one cent per pound,
and the government allows itself to be
charged eight cents per pound, and allows
publications Of the stamp of those sent out
from Augusta, Maine, to food p0stoffices
and mail trains-as for instance on single
through tram some months since, when
there were lis sacks averaging 100 pounds
each, of the above publications, bound for
tinue to be matters In the postofice depart
ment which will require new adjustments
on the part of congress. And 1t might be
suggested that one of these days when the
people Of this country, and particularly the
farmers, get out their paper and pencil and
figure out that the loss on one train load of
such trash as the above, or some SS05,
would come near paying for two free rural
delivery routes for a whole year, they will
make such demand on congressman every
where that some solution, considerably bet
ter even than the Loud bill, will become an
easy thing to secure. To be sure part OF
the remedy will have to come from the
other end Of the line, viz: in a reduction
of the exorbtant rate Of eight cents paid
to railroads where express companies secure
much lower rate, but the people and con-
gress alike will be entitled to congratula-
tons when even one of the abuses is cor
rpcted

HAD MANY CALLERS.
Congressman Fordney in the City
For Few Days.
ENJOYS LIFE IN WASHINGTON
Confident in the Success of Col. A. T.
Bliss in the Gubernatorial Contest
Will Remain Few Gays.

From the Saginaw Courier-Herald.
Congressman j. w, Fordney arrived
home from Washington yesterday morning,
and will spend few days in the city. He
was at his Office before noon, and found
many callers. He had a genial word and
hearty shake for all, and dispatched private
business and noted matters to which his
official attention was requested with
alacrity, told good story now and then
expressed confidence In the success of Col.
Bliss In the gubernatOrial contest in his
hearty way that carries conviction, said the
Michigan club banquet Wednesday night
was the best In the history of the club, ex-
pressed his satisfaction with the election of
Judge Daboll as chairman of the republ-
can committee, not only because he was a
fine gentleman, but because 1t was an honor
to the eighth district, and never failed to
make every caller feel that there was no
difference between Congressman Joseph w.
Fordney and jolly Joe Fordney, who has
been known in Saginaw so long.
He said congressional work required close
attention. The republican majority was
not so large but that 1t was essential that
every member be at his post He was sat
is6ed with the prospect of helpful legisla-
ton, said there was nothing new of special
local interest, aud said he enjoyed life in
Washington. He spoke with some enthu-
slasm of the condition of the United States
treasury, and referred to the bulletin OF
Monday, which showed s4O9, 900, 900 of gold
and gold bullion in the treasury, aud $222,
600, 900 In excess of outstanding golt certi-
ficales. For the twelve months ending
Monday the government receipts had ex-
ceeded Its disbursements by $50, 500, 900.
de spoke hopefully of the next presidential
campaign, aud the certainty that the demo
Gratis could not shake Bryan as presidential
candidate.
There are several matters to which Mr..
Fordney will give attention within the next
two or three days. He hopes to be able to
remain at home until the middle OF next
week, but may return to Washington
earlier.

Democratic Comment.

The Brooklyn Eagle is conceded to be
one of the most brilliant, influential and
fearless democratic newspapers In the east.
Recently William Jennings Bryan de-
livered speech in the Academy of Music
In Brooklyn, and this is the comment of
the Eagle on the speech:
''Mr. Bryan insisted upon referring to
silver and gold He said he must refer to
ii, because If he did not folks would say
that hs had dropped it and he could not
afford to let .them say that. This INSULT
cient reason, which was riotously ap-
plauded, confirmed bis capacity ana his de-
termination to vindicate his personal equa-
ton at the expense and the wishes and to
party, whose consideration toward him
merited better treatment. And the
rapidity of his pro-silver discourse equaled
the vanity of 1t. He cOntended that a
government stamp on gold or silver or paper
creates money, and that the greater the
amount of created money the larger Per
capita possession Of II. A man who be-
lieves that neither intrinsic value nor legiti-
mate labor is the basis of the money and of
the resources which enable money and
credit together to maintain solvency aud
confidence, who believes that mere
government fiat on metals or on paper Is
the guarantee and insurer of values, of
faith, of enterprise and of prosperity, can
believe almost anything. AS an economist,
such man is staring mad. As an orator
he is dev0urer of wind and fountain of
fustian. AS a poet or prancer he may be
as melodious as a harp, as graceful as a
panther.or as cooling dove, but as guide,
counselor or an executive he would ruiz
his country, and the responsibilities Of
government would require him to ren0unce
his rhapsodies, II he did not die 10 mad

last night to the plausible rawlings of the
man who did not put over against them and
him the higher prices, the greater industry
