accomplished gentleman. The ambassador

in bringing about the conclusion Of peace
between Spain and the. United States he
said Mr.. Mckinley chiefly sought not to
hurt the feelings of either side, and added :
I'VE must admit that he was greatly
aided in his task by the good will of the
Americans, who had no reason to continue
the war, while the Spaniards were anxious
for It's conclusion"
NJ. Cambon was also questioned regarding
the situation in the Philippines. He said

Recent Order Regarding Newspaper
Rates of Postage Praised.

Rates of Postage Praised.
The Postmaster General has been greatly
gratified by the almost universal favorable
comment that has been made by the news
papers of the country on his order restrict
ing the periodicals that can be mailed as
second-class matter to publications that
have a bona fide circulation not secured by
premiums or inducements other than the
real value Of the publications. and which
strictly conform to the requirements pre-
scribed by law for second-class matter. A
large number of newspapers In commend
Ing this official act express surprise that
1t was not taken long ago. There are q
very few papers that express the opinion
that such restriction is In the nature OF
press censorship The publications that
Will be barred from securing the second
class rate of one cent pound. and will
nave to pay eight cents a pound as third
class matter, are chiefly published as a
medium of advertising some specific line
of goods, and newspapers generally COM
menting on the order, sustain the view
that the low second-class rate was intended
to stimulate by making cheap and easy
of access publications that contain as
their chief feature news or literary matter
for the people.
The order will al once be applied to new
periodicals applying for postal rates but
for those now admitted as second-class
matter no action will probably be taken
before October 1.

If the rainbow chasers can find any
comfort in considering this growth
they are welcome to it.
The Republicans have nominated II
strong man for Governor. He was
the unanimous choice of the people,
and the convention ratified the wishes
of tho people in nominating him.
There was no other candidate offered
or thought of. The Republicans have
natural majority in the State, and
every Republican wants to see Frank
lin Murphy elected. They believe that
he will have majority not less than
81, 900, or about as much as was given
to the general Republican ticket in
1899, and it is quite possible that it
may be larger, though the vote gen
orally declines the year after the Pres
idential election. 1t may be observed
that the total vote declines, and the
Democrats share in the shrinkage.
Franklin Murphy will be the next
Governor. The future holds but one
problem in this matter, and that is the
size of his majority. Jersey city
