RAYNER CONQUEKS HIS
AUDIENCE.

"Tbc patron saint IF Mr.. Isidor
Rayner," says the Baltimore Herald,
"certainly appears to be that famous
old medieval divinity, St. John OF lie
Golden Mouth. In Mr.. Rayner S
speech of yesterday wednesday, it
was shown flat the art of genuine
oratory has not died out in the more
prosaic age that has succeeded Cal
houn, Clay and Webster. Occasion
ally circumstances so shape events
that eloquence is of practical value.
and one of these unusual occasions was
that seized so forcetuliy by Mr.. Rayner.
Ellis sarcasm is we'll known through
out Maryland, and from to-day forth
it will be familiar to the larger audi
ence throughout the nation. But it
was not so much tue bitterness with
which be is capable of arming his
speech as the more gentle art of per-
suasion and of emotional force that
was specially in evidence in his latest
effort. The effect upon the tempered
minds of the judges and upon the very
balanced brain Of the judge advocate
is really marvellous, and stamps with
the approval Of success the rear admi-
rails choice of spokesman in his
cause"

ment would receive about so cents pound
for transporting letters, which is ample
even for great distances. The present
rate is cents per ounce. The rentals of
postal cars have always been excessive
and matter of complaint by the Postoftice
Department for many years. But the in
fuerce of the railroad companies in Con-
gress has always been powerful enough
to prevent any reduction. The influence
of the express companies has been sutfi-
cient to deprive the people Of the con
venience of the parcels postage rates
which are enjoyed in other civilized coun-
tries, and we have the ridiculous result
that it costs about % per cent. more to
send a package of merchandise by mail
from Baltimore to Towson or Ellicott
City than it does from Baltimore to New
Zealand. More than that-a man in Chi
cago can send package weighing eleven
pounds by mail through New York to Ger
many, to Costa RIGA or TO New Zealand.
But the Government will not undertake
to transport such package to stop in
New York at any price. The reason of
this is that to transport package to Costa
Rica will not take any business from the
express companies. But several express
lines operate between Chicago and New
York. Therefore anywhere within the
United States the limit of a package to go
by mail is four pounds and the rate is 16
cents pound. But if the package is to
go beyond the boundaries of the United
States it will be carried to its destination
even if it weighs as much as eleven pounds,
and the charge is - cents a pound.
With proper looping off of some of
the unnecessary expenditures and an ad-
justmcnt CT others, it would perhaps be
perfectly practicable to have "a cent
postage and a parcels post. 1t is not the
idea of postal management that it should
be source of revenue to the Government
That carrying mails should pay expenses
is all that is desired, and even if there is Il
reasonable deficiency, made in promoting
good service and the public convenience,
it is easily tolerated by the people. Since
the great reduction in rates on letters and
periodicals made in 1888 there has been
an average deficiency in postal receipts
below expenditure of about So 100000. In
1897 it was about $11 500 900, and last year
it was S., 80 5 baltimore SIN.

AS to the election in the State the
Baltimore Sun" Of yesterday said
Returns received Wednesday night
indicate the election of DR.. Joshua W.
Herring, Democrat, Comptroller OF
the Treasury by majority of over
1000 and and j. Frank Turner, Dem
ocrat, Clerk of the Court of Appeals,
by majority of about 700. These
figures, however, are partly estimated
and may he changed by the official re-
turns. The Democrats appear to
have elected 4s members of the House
of Delegates and II Senators, includ-
ing the 10 hold-over Senators. This,
if confirmed by the official returns
will give the Democrats majority OF
9 on joint ballot, the total membership
being 26 Senators and 50 Delegates.
The Republicans will have 9 Senators
and Il members of the lower house.

THERESULT TIN THECOUNTY

The official returns published else
where slow that the Democrats have
won signal victory in this county,
nearly all of the ticket being elected.
Nj. Haker unfortunately was defeated
for Sheriff 10y about Il votes; Mr..
Grimes for Register of Wills by SO
votes; and Mr. Rawlings for the House
of Delegates by sc votes, and Mr..
Turner Tor Road Commissioner Of the
third district by 1913 votes.
The county will be well represented
in both branches of the General Assem-
bly,. In fact, we believe, that no coun-
ty in the State will be better repre-
scented. Tie Democrats will have two
able and efficient gentlemen to compose
the minority in the Board OF County
Commissioners, and, we venture the
prediction, that axpayers will be
greatly benefited by their vigilance
and fidelity in these important posi-
tions.
The new road law, which has beer
so perverted from its intended opera
ton, We trust, will now be given a fair
test. Of course, there are needed
amendments, but the law will stand.
Its enforcement for the next two years
will bring about wonderful improve
ment in the condition of our public
roads.
We congratulate the successful can
didates and condole with those who
were so unfortunate as TO be defeated
1t was a hard-fought contest. The
conditions were new. Evidently there
was a great dea! ofindependent voting,
and many influences operated to pro-
duce the result.
That the election is over is un-
doubtedly cause for rejoicing. Bust
ness will now be resumd by these who
have been "in politics and the excite
ment over the election will subside. 1t
is the duty of all to accept the result
as an expression of the peoples will,
under conditions prescribed by the
law.

LOWER LETTER POSTAGE
AND PARCEL-POST.

Each successive reduction in letter
postage has resulted ultimately in an in
crease in revenue. 1t is an interesting
question now whether the limit bias J cen
reached, whether the Government can
carry letters at 1 cent per half-ounce at a
profit. This question is impossible of
solution except by actual experiment, and
if that experiment is to be made by the
United States it would appear there could
be no more appropriate time for It than
the present, while the revenues of the
Government are ample to meet any
deficiency which might occur by reason
of such reduction in letter postage. If
we consider the average distance letters
are carried, the United States already has
cheaper letter postage than any other
country. England has the same rate, but
with our mail routes. 1t is questionable
whether reduction of letter postage to
1 cent would not crafty even the people

in various States. The system involves
the abolition Of a great number OF coun
try postoffice, where men have been in
the habit of gathering. II the country.
and especially in the thickly populated
country, where the free delivery wagons
run and where the postofliccs were so
close together, it has never been considered
a hardship to go to the rostoifice for mail
1t was a diversion, and there has from
time to time been complaint when some
of these offices were abolished. If it
costs more money to maintain rural free
delivery than it would to reduce letter
postage, it is questionable whether the
application of that money to a reduction
of postage would not give more satiSfac
ton to the people.
1t has been a matter of complaint by
postoffice officials for long time that the
mails have been overloaded with publica-
tions which get the advantage of rates on
periodicals without being strictly entitled
to them If any class of mail matter is to
be handled at loss, it would be better
for that loss to be occasioned by cheap
rates on letters and newspapers 1t is
