Postal Progress,

NOR THE first quarter of this
* calendar year the gross re-
Il ceipts of the United States
postal service amounted to
s32, ,3SS,592 and the expenses to $780,
936, leaving profit in spite Of extra
expenses for rural free delivery.
The indications now are that the de-
flcit for the fiscal year just closed (full
results however, will not be known
until on or about October 1O) will be
considerably less than $3,OOO,0O0. Two
of the three quarters thus far ascer-
tained as to the past fiscal year show
a surplus. The gross receipts for the
first nine months of the fiscal year 1902
exceeded those of the corresponding
period for the preceding year by 0 per
cent, which is exactly the estimate
made by Postmaster General Smith In
his last annual report. If the increase
continues at the same rate during the
quarter yet to be reported his estimate
Of $121, 600 will be fully realized.
Truly this is a land of letters, periodi-
calls, money orders and packages. II
the growth in postal business shall con-
tnue at the present amazing rate of
increase and congress be won to the
departments view of what should be
done to regulate second class mail
privileges, it will not be many years
until not only will rural free delivery
be general but there will be substantial
ground for urging penny postage.

with the overwhelming Republican sem

Is to make any system Of education
conform to them. Educational institu-

are peculiar to themselves--ideals that
can be formed only by many years Of
student life within them. Such ideals
can be tested and applied by the in

feel keenly the difference of the ideals
of the college from those of the world

attempts to make these worlds COM

AN EXAMPLE FOR LUzERNE.
From the Wilkes-Barre Times.

We extend our congratulations to Con.
gresham Connell for the magnificent
tribute paid him by the Republican bri-
marles of his district. This faithful party
workers good qualities, his honorable ca
reer as Il coal operator and excellent
political services were fully recognized by
the workingmen of Lackawanna county.
In re-nominating Mr.. Connell the Lacka-
wanna Republicans have continued their
wise policy of retaining the services of
an old and faithful representative, pro-
cedure that should commend itself to the
people of Luzerne. BY the continuity Of
service the prestige of Lackawanna's s
congressman has been enhanced In con-
gressional circles and Scranton has
reaped the benefit In the form of a fed
eral building of fine proportions, secured
the federal district court a lawyer from
Scranton as judge, and many other
things we in Luzerne have failed to Sc
cure because of our vacillating methods.
Let us make a new departure by re-
nominating and re-electing our gifted
congressman, Henry w. Palmer.

This list includes undergraduates.
post-graduates and professional school
men. 1t shows that the higher educa-
ton is deemed by the country to be
desirable and often in many sections is
taken to be matter of course. To
show how advanced work in colleges
had Increased President Remsen of
Johns Hopkins university gave the fol-
lowing statistics in his inaugural adj
dress: In 1850 there We're only gradu-
ate students in all the American col
leges, viz: 3 at Harvard, at Yale, /
at the University of Virginia, and / at
Trinity. In 1876 there We're 395; in
1900, 5,66S; in 1902, more than 5000.
That this increase has not drawn from
the attendance of Americans at Ger
man universities is shown by the fact
that whereas there were American
students in German universities in 1885,
n in 1860, there We're S97 in 1898. These
statistics are perfectly conclusive of
two facts-the first is that there has
been an enormous increase of Amerl-
can education at the top; and second
ly, that this increase is due to the
practical demands of the time. The
wide spread of WELL being in this coun-
try, the ambition of the family-stocks,
the appreciation of education in itself
and the craving for social power have
been the dominant motives.
1t ought not to be overlooked in re-
viewing the educational situation, that
I'm the list of universities above given
there are many free state institutions
These are young compared to the en-
dowed institutions. They have great
future. The reason for this is that
they are considered an integral part OF
the public school system where they
exist, and that they graduate students
fitted for their life work. They more
completely fulfil Jeffersons idea OF
what a university should be, and as
one important writer has remarked:
while the old universities have grown
with the growth of the country and by
good management, the new universities

ROM the days of Plato to the
II present time there have been
Il spasmodic- efforts made to
bring educational systems in
to touch with the demands of life. on
the surface this would seem easy
enough to accomplish, for apparently
all that is needed Is to know the de-
mands of the time and then conform
the school system to those demands.
The child should go by easy stages on
the ways prepared for him by the state
to an actual contact with the world.
Theoretically this is not difficult. Prac-
tically the plan has never been per-
fectly accomplished, and because the
difficulties in the way of it's achieve
ment have not been appreciated, one
often hears the school system con-
ever been an hiatus between schooling
and life. 1t has always been possible
to systematic the schools SO that
there would be gradual transition
from the primary grades to the college.
But 1t is quite a different matter to
bring school system thus organized
into touch with the demands of the
time.
There was never a greater effort than
at the present time to make education
al methods lead up to practical living.
The enormous increase of students in
American universities Is an indication
of this. There are more than 10000 stu
dents in the ten leading colleges in the
Limited States as follows.

Passing the question as to why SO
many districts are omitted in these tabu-
lations, only 20 of 81 in Scranton being
used, it would appear that the Republi-
cans cast:
In 20 Scranton districts, 1856 votes yes
terday and 1123 last fall.
In Carbondale, 92S votes yesterday and
SOB last fall.
In Dunmore, 500 votes yesterday and
391 last fall
Or a total of 42O4 votes yesterday and
2207 last fall.
So. even without the Al excluded city
districts and the rest of the county, the
hundreds of purchasable Democratic
votes of yesterday have become thous-
ands today. Take the vote of 1900 for
President Mckinley and Mr.. Connell,
when we had an election as was an elec-
tion, like yesterdays, too, and there do
not seem to be SO many Democrats in
the Republican ranks:

OMNIBUS NOV
MEETS FAST CARS
Rapid Transit System Makes Con-
necsion Through TO
the Park.

ALI day yesterday two omnibuses
ran from the end of the Tramways
line at Kapiolani park TO the Kailea
road, connecting there with the Rapid
Transit cars for down town. There
was seldom vacant seat, and such a
success was made of the venture that
it is probable that next Sunday there
will be three vehicles instead of two.
The plan to run the omnibuses was
devised when the Tramways Company
altered its schedule, on the Transit
cars being sent through TO the Wal
kiki road, so that the horse cars would
miss the electric cars and the people
who might have planned to take the
Rapid Transit system would stick to
the mule vans, and thus contribute
the full fare to that line.
Lewis was willing and he put on one
omnibus Saturday, finding it impos-
sible to meet each car, but running full
of people almost the entire day. AS
soon as the people found they would
make close connection by taking the
bus they abandoned the mule cars and
there was a perceptible diminution in
the number of passengers during the
day.
The omnibuses collected five cent
fare and the electric cars had the same
charge, so that the trip, made in short
er time than by the tram, was not
more expensive, and the cleanliness
and speed was notably better. The
service will be continued.

Elstsn the Champion.

Elston retains his title of tennis
champion. defeating F. c. Anterior on
Saturday in three straight sets. The
games played on the Beretania courts
were hardly up to the form expected
from the preliminary rounds, but the
playing of the champion aroused much
enthusiasm. There was large crowd,
and the afternoon partook of the ma
ture of a reception, the ladies of the
club serving light refreshments ON the
veranda of the clubhouse
From the first Elston showed that
his practice had kept his form and he
was able to get up to the net and play
his usual brilliant game, keeping his
opponent back well by his hard smash
es. Atherton was not in the form that
he displayed against Cunha earlier in
the week, which gave his admirers hope
that he would wrest the title from Els

TALK VERSUS PROOF.

Serae one ought to ask Delegate VIII
cox why, If he knew that the Board OIL
Health was inoculating children with
leurous germs and also stealing S5Ooo0
per year out of the funds for the main
tenance of the Molokai plant, he did not
law the facts before the grand jury
That body was in session after he be-
gan making his criminal charges and
if he should now supply pertinent facts
to any judge of the circuit bench the
latter would be justified in summoning
a specia, grand jury to Investigate. But
Wilcox prefers the responsibility OF
the stump to the responsibility of the
witness stand though he must know
that if he could prove his charges he
would not only get the members of the
Board of Health indicted but he would
probably secure his own election and
that of a Home Rule Legislature and
pass his Federal ieper bill.
1t is not difficult to learn, however,
why Wilcox does not do his duty as
citizen and see that the law is not kept
in ignorance of crimes which he claims
have been committed. The Delegate
does not want another reception for his
story such as it had from the Senate
rial Commission: and he knows as well
as any one that he could not name
single case of leprous incubation since
the old days when children were vac
einated from arm to arm and acct
dents we're liable to happen. Nor could
the Delegate put his finger on one item
of Settlement supplies which yielded
dishonest nickel TO the Board nor upon
cent of the appropriations which the
Board had stolen. He could, II he had
a case, compel the bringing of books
and vouchers into court; and as his
brother was secretary of the Board OF
Health and spy in it's councils for
years, the Delegate cannot lack for a
prompter and a revengeful one at that.
Nevertheless he makes no attempt to
prove his case; he simply runs at the
mouth about something he knows to be
a freak of his own imagination.

THE LOCAL DEMOCRACY.

The attitude of leading Democrats all
over the Territory is distinctly hostile
to wilcox and to the majority of the
names on the Home Rule legislative
ticket. This is not to be wondered at
in view of all that has passed and of
much that is promised. There was a
fair agreement for fusion which Wilcox
not only violated but reviled in his
speeches and in his paper. Self-respect-
ing Democrats thought it time to draw
off and they were not dissuaded by the
success of the scheme which Mccarthy,
in mis- hunger for Office, carried through
for q surrender of the organization to
the Home Rulers. After that, the or
ganization counted for very little with
Democrats who stand well as citizens;
nor has it at any time counted for much
with the native members who Joined
the party originally out of loyalty to
the Ali who was its candidate for Con-
gress. They were David men" rather
than Democrats two years ago and
they are likely to be 'Kuhio men rath-
er than Democrats this year.

THE QUEENS INTERESTS.

The Queen will get no aid from Con-
gress if the matter is left to Wilcox
His record of failure shows that the
enactment of bills is beyond him; and
indeed. he tells his audiences that two
bills are all any member of the House
can pass in one session, and he mas
pledged himself to push the leper and
homestead bills ahead of others. In
the first session of the present Congress
his feeble powers, not otherwise en-
ployed, were used up in the Tramways
and .Kohala attempts and the Queen S
cause was left to shift for itself; in the
next session, with which Wilcox will
probably close his connection with
Congress, it may be taken for granted
that he will work for himself and not
for Her Majesty.
Even if Wilcox tried to do the right
thing by the Queen he could not sue
coed. FEY know the extent of his iso-
lation in the House. No one there has
anything to do with him in a legisla-
tive way and but few in a personal
way. The President wonders why he
was sent. So suspicious are the Con-
gressmen of his fiscal policy since he
tried to engineer a salary grab--and
failed as usual-that they are certain,
If Wilcox brings up the Queens relief
bill. to summarily vote it down. The
simple truth is that any identification
of Wilcox with that measure would
ruin it.
With the Prince as Delegate there
would be a good show of success. EN-
bracing in his own person as he does.
the higher qualities of the royal line,
he could not fail to make an impression
favorable to the relief measure. Social
Iy as well as politically he could do
much for it. AS a Republican he would
have a party to cooperate with him:
as an honest man and gentleman he
would not offend the moral sense of
that body in anything he might under
take.
In brief the only hope of the Queens
bill is to put Kuhio behind it; it's chief
peril lies in the possibility that Wilcox
may again have it in hand.

Wilcox takes credit in his recent
speeches for having managed" to get
a cadet each into West Point and An

Delegate is empowered to make such
appointments no managing" was

pick out his cadets and file their names
with the War Department. If the Dell

ject in a way to attract, he should drop
the pretence about management and
