SITTING THE MAILS.

Postmaster General Smith is igor
ously pursuing his policy Of excluding
from second-class mail privileges such
publications as do not rightfully be
long in that category. During the
month of October orders were Issued
affecting some sixty libraries"
"series" and "almanacs" whose volum-
nous numbers have burdened the
mails heavily Hereafter the Dead
wood Dick" corruptions will be obliged
to pay one cent postage for each two
ounces instead of one cent a pound as
heretofore, and if the new regulation
shall have the effect of considerably
reducing the output there will be
gain to American youth which is
really of more Importance than the
vast sum which the government will
make out of the innovation. Beadle's
breadth escapes, books that bless"
various happy hours "freslde" and
sunshine" series are all relegated to
their proper class with immense profit
to the department. A choice collee~
ton of sheets whose chief MISSION Is
advertising is listed for postmastefs to
reject unless they carry eight times
as much postage IS IN the past,-and
the good work has only begun.
The process Of exclusion is to be
till the sitting is complete,
and when that time comes it will be
found that such wondrous economy
has been wrought without any harm
whatever to the general public that
penny postage and very general ex.
.ension of free rural delivery will be
without the necessity of
calls upon congress for great appIopri-
.tions to effect that end.
