No One Cent Postage Now.

Senator William E. Mason, of illinois,
predicts that among the important
measures to become law during the
coming session of congress will be one
cent letter postage. II is difficult to
see upon what basis such q prediction
is made. The postal department Is not
surfeited with funds. 1t is absolutely
impossible to make all ends meet with
the appropriations already allowed.
Through the second class mail abuses
which have been allowed to exist much
revenue has been lost. 1t is true that
there is to be radical reform in this re-
spect from henceforth, and the ad-
dltionsl revenues to be derived there
from will come in good play. But in
view of the constant necessary enlarge
ment of postal facilities throughout the
country, especially in the laying out of
the rural routes, the postal department.
will have use for all funds available for
sometime to come. There is no ques-
tion but that one cent letter postage is a
sure event on the program of the future,
but we can afford to wait with reason
able patience the time whenit may be
propitiously inaugurated. 1t is certain
ly safe to predict that one cent letter
postage will not be one of the fruits OF
the approaching session of congress,

There will be no tariff revision by
the next congress. Hardly had the
smoke of the battle died away when
many members of congress were in
Washington giving out interviews that
the election meant that there should be
no tinkering with the tariff. Congress
man Babcock with his bill for revision
of the tariff by which trusts would be
affected is doomed to talk himself to
death before accomplishing anything.
President Roosevelt thought he had his
ear to the ground and heard the people
clsmoring for lower tariff on trust
made articles with reciprocity accom-
paniment. Heinferred from President
Mckinley's speeches that his predeces-
sor was favorable to the lowering the
tariff and was for reciprocity. The
president calls Marcus Hanna in con-
sultation and is informed that Presi-
dent Mckinley had no such ideas, that
he was welded to tariff after the Ding
ley fashion. The president now has
the other ear to the ground and hears
differently. The trusts and high tariff
barons have gotten in their work. The
beneticient Dingley law, which liz rob-
bing the people of millions of dollars
yearly for the benefit of the few, will
stand. .-Oelwein Record.

census Population.

Cincinnati is really a larger city, that Is a larger community. than Cleveland although the last census gave 1t only S25,902 against Cleveland's Si7sS,' said Cincinnati drummer at the Hiiiman.
 Adjoining Cincinnati are several large towns that should have been annexed before 1900 Take Norwood, just beyond Walnut Hill, for example. It has popu- lation of 10000 and Is as much a part of Cincinnati as any other residence seo- tion If all the five and ten thousand places in Hamilton county were annexed the metropolis would increase it's popu- lation by 50.000. And. on the Kentucky side of the river are Covington, New port, and number of smaller cities, which have an aggregate population of 100000 Cincinnati as a mmunity has therefore a population of about 47b,0o0.
 "The postoffice business of Cincinnati Is fifty per cent. greater than that of Cleve- land, and the bank clearanoes of the smaller city arc much larger too. Yet the census gives Cleveland nearly 56.O0O more people, and the government figures are what the outside public goes by, But there is no getting over the fact that Cleveland is a city of rapid growth. for it increased 10000 in the ten years from 1890 to 1900"

sacked with a searchiight viler ex- ample Of corporation tool and ma chine politician could not have been found than this man Payne. It is idle to talk hereafter of President Roose- velt's reform proclivlties. He has none. He is seeking a full term of his own on the old familiar lines. He distrusts Mark Hanna, and Mark Hanna distrusts him, but a substitute has been found in Henry c. Payne. Hanna is much the better man of the two in every respect-more straight forward, frank and honorable. He was never a professional lobbyist for rail road or telephone companies, and Payne has been. There is not a good spot in Payne's entire public career.
 Of late he has been prominent as the advocate of reduction in Southern representation. his plan has been be- fore the pubic two or three years. It is a radical plan. He proposes to cut Alabamas delegation, for example, to five members. To what extent he will be able to win the administration. over to his reduction views is at pres ent coniectural, but it is a hobby of his, and he will no doubt push 1t as far and as much as he can. This vet eran lobbyist is a very skillful politi- clan and no doubt he will attempt to display his skill in connection with his fad. He is a political manipulator first, last and always, and there is no method known to politics that is too vile to suit his tastes and methods. The reputable Republicans, including Governor LaFollette, of Wisconsin, dis own him. Even the New York Sun is forced to say of him: "He is the very type of the political advisers whom President Roosevelt has been unjpstly suspected of distrusting and over whom he has unwarrantedly been ac- cused of rough riding" This Is the entire case. When the New York Sun admits that a corruptionist has been appointed to the Cabinet there is no need for further evidence.
 Who will go next from the Cabinet does not greatly concern the people, but if another Payne is to be seated it will be in order to strike the word reform" out of the new administra' tion's programme.

THE GOOD RoAps TRAIN.

From the DemoPols Despatch.
 The coming of the Southern Railways Good Roads train has, we believe done more to arouse interest in the subject of better highways than anything that has ever been attempted along this line. It has not only afforded a valuable ob- ject lesson in the practical work of road building, but 1t has put the people to thinking on the problem of how to se- secure better roads.
 This thought has naturally turned to that class of labor which the state al- ready owns and controls-its convicts. And the opinion seems to be forming that some rational, practical plan for utilizing this labor to this end is the one to be first considered.
 The first and foremost benefit to be de- rived it seems to us is in removing tho convicts from competition with honest, free labor; condition while clearly ob- jectionable, Is no easy one to solve
 Other states have tried to solve this problem in various ways. If, as claimed, to turn the whole system over to the work of building modern roadways Is the solu- tion of 1t, we. take 1t that everyone will welcome such an arrangement,

 Gen. Joe" Wheeler, though past the retiring limit fixed for army officers is without thought of retiring in other re- spects. He was full of gayety and anec- dote at the reception of the Pennsylva- mia Historical Society on Thursday even ing. Talking of the Santiago campaign the general said: Tt was not my first acquaintance with Colonel Roosevelt, but it presented him in a new and interAt- ing light His men fairly idolized him, and. though they came from every walk of life millionaire, clubman, cowboy, clerk and lawyer, they got along splen- didly with one another. One odd thing about them was that they always called one another by nicnames. One of them was detailed for duty at my quarters af- ter the first truce. When he appeared I asked him his name. He answered so- berly, Porkchops.' I learned on inquiry that he. was thus nicknamed because of his Hebrew descent. Among the Rough Riders Roosevelt was always spoken of as The Boss

TO PAY A QUARTER PER BABY
From the Chicago News.

From the Chicago News.
 Cook County will have to pay 25 cents a head for every baby born inside it's limits and whose birth Is reported to the county clerk after New Years Day. This Is on account of law which was enacted by the Legislature.
 The object of the law was not to place bounty on the birth of babies in Chi cago. but to insure the recording of the births of the babies who may be born. The physician presiding at the birth of a child will be entitled to collect the tax. If he neglects his duty. the parent of the offspring will have the next chance at the county's quarter. This piece of silver will be paid by the county treas urer upon notice by the county clerk that the birth in question has been reported to him. .-4
 'I expect this new law will cost Cook County about s15,000 next year." said President John J. Hanberg of the coun- ty board There were nearly 50000 ba- bies born in Chicago this year. I under stand. and expect the number will be increased next year. Cook County can not we'll begrudge the money, though in the present condition of the county's finances every s15.000 counts.

To Be a Lieutenant.

l.. M. Mullen of Birmingham, who served in the Philippines as a private in the volunteers, will be appointed to a second lieutenancy in the regular army, and 1t will be only a question of a short time. He was directed to report to the examining board at Fortress Monroe the other day and he passed all right There were thirteen applications for lieuten- ancies in the class at Fortress Monroe and 1t is a noteworthy fact that all of them passed.
 While MT. Mullen was in Manila he and a comrade discussed the matter of try ing to get commissions in the regular army. They agreed that the chances would be extremely slim and hardly worth the stationery that would be used decided that they would play heads or tails and let that decide whether or not they should file applications A dollar was tossed and 1t came tails which told them to make application; that luck was on their side. Mir. Mullen's comrade has received commission.
 The pay of a second lieutenant is $1400 during the first five years of commission; and 10 per cent is added for the next five years; 20 per cent for the next, and SO on until it reaches 40 per cent. when the in- crease stops, Mir. Mullen is a young man and will probably attain field rank before he Is 55.
