LET Us HAVE oNE.cENT POSTAGE.

The post Office department has issued an order
driving from the privileges of second class mail mat
ter, the fake publications, including those urging
exploiting lotteries and thedeady yellow back novel
destructive Of the of the youth of the land
Now that this great reform has been effected
the ground work Of which was laid by William L.
Wilson when postmaster general. we can sec NO rea:
son why one-cent letter postage should not be prac
ticabie.
1t would be pride worthy achievement II The
United States were TO lead the world in the final tri
umph Of cheap postage For it would be with US a
triumph over time and space ,4l IL )
The distance from Tucson to San Francisco, for
instance, is about 900 miles, from London to Lv.
erpool only 200, from Paris to Lions $50 from Ber
lin 10 Hamburgl75 BY our postal routes to Alas.
ka Porto Rico and the Philippines we have added to
the average distance an Amgican letter travels al
ready argreater then in any other country But our
superior facilities for handling mail-in particular,
heavier trains and engines-more than make up for
this disadvantage. +~~
& The fact that Americans are letter-writing ma
ton gives the postofce that volume of business
which makes low rate feasible. The New York
City postofce alone took in more than $fI 900 900
last year. Our foreign mails are enormous Great
Britain sends us two.thirds as many letters as she
does to the entire continent of Europe lying at her
door. The people Of this country spend nearly 50
each on postage every year-at present about ST.
100000 With little more than 2 per cent of the
worlds population We furnish nearly one-third OF
its postal business.
And yet the time has about arrived when the
authorities ought to make serious effort to estab.
lsh one cent postage. Itlwould be great reform.

million active Cinnamon to wake the negro popuist-
tion into activity
We very much fear that our esteemed contem-
porary would find the remedy much worse than the
disease. Should the exclusion law be not reenact.
ed, the South would not be able to hold the millions
of needy celestals who would swarm into hcr cotton
fields to the unfair exclusion OF both whites and ne
groes. The probability is that instead of stirring
the negro into activity the cheaper Chinese aborer
would completely usurp the negro's place, or else.
through Asiatic competition, force the wage scale
down to the starvation point. ia
The American people are not unfamiliar with
the meaning of uncontrolled Chinese immigration
Before Congress fit to protect laboring popn-
laton against this starvation pest tbs Pacific coast
fairly swarming with oeestias eager to labor at
starvation wages They were industrious and docile
workmen, and from the capitalistic point Of view
ideal laborers upon whom dependence could be
placed, There but slight danger OF a. wage
strike where these orientals were employed. This
fact and the danger OF their spreading throughout
the country and taking possession of our fields and
factories aroused the burning animosity of the la
Dor element and resulted in an antC Chinese agita-
ton that neither political party dared to antagonze
Nor the agitation confined to labor organizations
alone The people in general in those localities in
tested by the immigrants were loud in their denun-
citation of the religious barbarism and moral deprav-
ity of the Asiatics. After sufficient experience
with their society the most friendly critic was
forced to the conclusion that II demoralizing to
the community. s. .ssss i.
II is incomprehensible that this call for Chinese
labor should come from the South. The friendly
observer would imagine that the race problem which
now confronts the southern people is Of sufficient
magnitude to utilize all their ingenuity without in
viting another similar problem. The South Ia today
possessed of great industrial advantages and in her
awakened industrial condition she should not permit
her greed for rapid gain to get the better Of her
judgment
However, We hardly expect the matter 10 bs left
exclusively in the hands OF the friends of Chinese
immigration Already labor organization and unor-
ganzed labor we'll have circulated petitions pray
ing for Tho re-enactment OF the exclusion law and
it is hardly probable that the party In power will
dare challenge the opposition Of American labor by
ignoring the petition.

THE FRIARs IN THE PHluIpPlNE&

There seems to be much agitation in certain cir
cles regarding the friars in the Philippines and the
disposition of the property they own. That ought
not to be difficult problem to handle if we apply
American principles to it, and steer clear OF the
tangled imperial notions, bora out of wedlock with
the Constitution.
With the friars in the Philippines religious
ministers, have concern With the frars as
political officers and agents have already dispen-
sed 1t remains to deal with them property hold
AS to their property it is desirable for our Gov.
ernment that it should be brought under the most
productive cultvatian that it should be made to
share duly the burden of taxation, and if practica-
ble that it should be placed in the hands of native
owners and cultvators. 1t cannot be confscated It
can be purchased The Civil Commission has recon-
mended that it shall be bought.
1t would be very much better for the islands il,
after purchase of their property the frars could find
some other field of religious activity. There is no
doubt that such arrangement would be for the
true and lasting interests of the Catholic church it.

THEY CAN'T DO WITHOUT Us.

1t is not at all surprising to learn from Paris by
way of Vienna, that the difficulties of organizing an
affective European customs league against the Unit
ed States are considered insuperable.
Insuperable Ia not too strong word. And one
sufficient reason why ii is 90 10 that Europe must be
clothed and fed and that her various people would
go ill-clad and hungry-and 60 TO bed in the dark
besides-were it not for the United States.
To strike effectively at American exports a
European custom league would have to bar agri-
cultural products And the objections to that are
truly "ungetoverable." --,.

TOM JOHNSON AT WORK.

Hon. Tom I. johnson, Mayor of Cleveland, has
given fresh proof to his friends as we'll as to his
enemies, that he is an erratic statesman Ohio. as
everybody knows, ia in the throes OF political cam
paign and the managers hustling for contribu-
tions to the campaign fund. Mayor johnson, it is
reported. heard shat his manager was assessing
city employees in Cleveland. He at once called him
to account and ordered that every cent should be
turned to those from whom money had been taken.
His manager startled by the Mayors prohibi-
tion of custom which has never been regarded with
disfayor in Ohio. "Hcw are we going to run this
campaignp" he asked "Let the various candidates
produce said the erratic statesman, "and any De-
mocratsl who want 10 give voluntarily I'll help lit
tie, too
For many years politics in Ohio have been OF a
dshearteningly practical" character 80 that nobody
expected any good could come out of the Buckeye
State 1t Mayor johnson has undertaken to reform
thet State he has an herculean job on his hands.
Undoubtedly 1t is wrong to levy political ASSESS
ments upon employees of the city or State, but the
wrong has been tolerated long that in most States
1t is regarded inalienable right of political
managers The abuse also exists in the several de-
partments OF Federal Government, although on the
eve OF every campaign Federal employs are notified
that they are under no obligation to pay political
assessments, while political managers are also warn
cd in the most solemn terms that they must not levy
assessments. The practice fourishes, despite the
efforts that are made from time to time to protect
employees.
IL Mayor johnson can prevent the political ma
nagers in Ohio from levying tribute upon office
holders he will have most notable achievement to
his credit. II will be difficult for him 10 convince
