IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS.
The Third Assistant Postmaster Gen.
eraI Instructs Postmasters as Fol.

lows:
A certain publishers bureau in Chi
csgo, ILL.,, is distributing to publishers
in general throughout the country the
following statement.
"The postofice officials at Washing
ton, D. c., have Just ruled that a sub
scription to any publication, entered
as second class matter, must be dis
continued, when the time for which
it is paid in advance has expired.
"This is such radical ruling and
directly opposite to all law and pre-
vious rulings, that it means complete
change and revolution in the publish
ing business This ruling will greatly
reduce the circulation of nearly all
papers and cause the withdrawal of
many advertisements until lower
rate is put into effect. This vitality
affects you for it prohibits extern ding
credit to your subscribers, and reduces
your circulation and value to adver-
tisers. Amy violation of this will de-
prive the publisher of his pound rate. I"
Postmasters will immediatel y no.
tify all publishers in their respective
cities that the statements made in the
above quotation are untrue, and mis-
represent the attitude and purpose of
the department, and that there has
been no such change in the rules or
practice with regard to subscribers to
legitimate second class publications as
is represented. The report grows out
of ruling in an individual case of a
New York publication which was car
rying an enormous list of expired sub
scriptions which were largely first in
duced by premiums, and where due
notice had been given to the sub
scriber, who had failed to renew or to
order continuance with promise to
pay, expressed or implied.
When general rulings are made they
are published in this bulletin for the
information of the public and all post
masters. A ruling such as is repre-
sented to have been made would be I'M
warranted under the law.
Postmasters will take immed late
action under these instructions.
EDWIN G. MADDEN,
Third ASS P. M. Gen'l
The Free Press several days ago re-
ceived the staten emit quoted by the
third assistant postmaster general as
it is presumed all publishers in the
country did. The result has been that
senators and representatives have been
flooded with letters from their news
paper friends asking them to secure
the withdrawal of the purported rul-
ing. It seems from General Madden s
explanation and instructions to post
masters that the ruling had no bear
ing whatever on legitimate publica-
tions, was designated to affect only a
single publication that was not en-
titled to enjoy the privileges of second
class rate of postage. The department
is determined that only legitima to
publication shall be circulated through
the mails as second class matter, a nd
in this it will be upheld and endorsed
by every good newspaper.

Richardson's Great Speech.

Representative James ID. RichardsOn's
speech arraigning the Republican party,
which was the feature of the day the gen.
eral deficiency bill was passed. is already
a great demand and will be used broadcast
as Democratic campaign document. His
citations of Republican platforms, pledges
and Promises, which have turned out the
yariest mOckerles of sincerity, was an
overwhelming summons of the Republic
can party to the bar of public conscience.
His confusion, in which he referred to
the policy of that party in regard to for
egn affairs, was especially strong. He
said it was one of unredeemed promises,
of violation OF all the traditions of the re-
public, of the improper, unlawful and
scandalOus transportation and misuse
OF public moneys, and upon the whole
permanent increase of our annual apprO-
priatiOn and expenditures wholly unwar-
rantable, ineXcusable and unjuStifiable.
''Ihe total expenditures for all purposes"
said Mr.. Richardson, "fOr the support of
the government in all its branches for the
year 1898 amounted to $4Sj. 002, 044.72;
1899, SS92, 23I ,6lj, .55. an increase of over
SOB, zoo, 0O0; 1900, $674, 9SI OPP 80, an in
crease over 1898 Of $4,000, 900; 1901,
81 10, $50. S62 SO. an increase over 1898 of
1925, 100000; 1902, $3.50, 1896, $3.50, an
increase of "a, 100000. Thus these four
years since the Spanish war show an in
crease-nOt total OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES and
above the appropriations of 1898 of ST.
U67, O00, 900, more than billion of dollars
of increase. So that if we were to as
sumo that without the Spanish-American
war the appropriations would have been
about the same. or 4 re iSOnable increase,
we show that when YOU take the amount
for 1898 there has been an increase for
the four years of more than a billion dol
lars. And we have no promise that it
will grow less"
Mr.. Richardson then quoted what Sell
atOr lIOar asked III his impressive perO-
ration which adorned his great speech if ii
might be the fate of the Republican party
to answer on the column to jurisprudence
that might be erected in some State capt.
tai, as follows:
''We repealed the Declaration of indie
pendence. We changed the Monroe doc
trinc from doctrine of eternal righteous
ness and justice, resting on the consent of
the governed, to a doctrine OF brutal self
ishne,S, looking Onl " to our own advan-
tagc. We crushed the only republic in
Asia. We made war ON the only Chris
ian people in the East. We Converted a
war Of glory to Il war Of shame. We
yulgarized the American flag. We intro
duccd pertidity into the practice of war.
We inflicted torture Oh unarmed men to
eXtOrt confession. We put children to
death. We established recOncentradO
camps. We devastated provinces. We
baflled the aspirations Of a people for lib
erty.'

Democratic Revival III New York

The news that Daniel s. Lamont. form
or Secretary of War, under the last adj
ministratIOn of President Cleveland, will
probably be the Democratic nominee for
governor of New York, is most gratifying
to eve Y Democrat who hopes for the
success of his party in the elections this
fall The nomination of a man of Mr.
LamOnt's strength, influence and standing
in the pol tical and financial world will
entlIuse the rank and file of the Demo-
crazy all over the country. Ii is said that
In the event MIR. Lamont secures the gu
berngtOrial nomination Mr.. Cleveland will
take an active part in the campaign and
do everything in his power to have him
elected. Daniel > Lamont rank high
among the Democratic leaders of New
York and was one of the trusted lieute-
nants CT Samuel }. 'Iilden He is now
the vice-president of the Northern Paci-
fic Railroad Company and is associated in
business with VIM. &. Whitney, John ID.
Crimmins and other prominent Democrats
who are heartily supporting the Cleve-
land-lIill movement for harmoniZinp the
New York Democracy.
There Il no reason to doubt that Mr..
Lamont will make "A strong and very DO
pular candidate, because he is highly ad-
mired by the regular wing of the party
that supported Bryan in the last two pre-
sldential campaigns and it is conceded
bat his nomination would rally to the

OF Democratic merchants, bankers and

that when the campaign opens there will |
ne more unity among the Democrats
than has existed for the past ten wears.
There is no longer any quarrel between

irving to Fool the People.

The country is beginning TO understand
that the Roosevelt administration i not
earnest in its prefer se If prosecuting lile
meat trust and that the whole business Is
a sham. Ex-senator David Il. lllll Pu'
the matter in a very plain light when he
stated in his speech a few nights ago 'ila'
ssacting upon the assumption that inc
trusts should De prosecuted by their
friends and not by their enemies the ma
tiOnal administration was at Leaf con-
strained to institute some civil suits 10

has been the net result \ few Temporal
nv iniuctIOns have been obtained with the
consent of the trusts themselves, or ut
!, asst with little or no opposition. which
in general terms restrain the trusts from
violating the terms OF the sherman act,
which they expressly deny lhey have ylo-
lated or are now violating
This is a fact that cannot he disputed,
for the people who have been p!underrd
by the beef trust have observed that no
criminal prosecutions have been instituted,
the robbers have not been indicted Tor
grand larceny, no prison doors have been
thrown open for them and the injunciOns
will not be made permanent for Il year or
more to come. if ever. With the election
only few months ahead OF us, for Con-
gre .smen in all the States, there is no
reason to believe that the magnateS OF
the beef trust will ever he cenSurtd, but
on the contrary it il quite probable that
in return for liberal contributions to the
Republican campaign fund they will be
forgiven and told TO go and sin some more
after the elections are over.
Ii seems to be thu hope Of the Roosevelt |
ADM IstratiOn that when the, yot"s are
cast in November tho agitation will die
out ~ d the consumers of beef become |
