ONH-CENT LETTER POSTAGE.

A move is being made to reduce the
letter postage from two to one cent. A
bill to that effect has been introduced
In the House of Representatives, and
a large number of petitions and let
tiers containing endorsements of the
proposition from States of
the Union have been received. They
are being received every day at a rapid
rate, and the petitioners already num-
Der $1,000. 1t is believed that within
the next few weeks a million more will
be received, showing the interest that
is being taken by the people on the
subject.
The revenues of the postal service
seem to justify the passage of the pro-
posed measure. The subject has at sew
eral times in the past been under con-
sideration by various Postmasters-
General.
At the present time all the State with
the exception of Nevada have the ru-
raj free delivery system. In addition
to this, delivery by star-route carriers
has been inaugurated, by which these
carriers believer mail to those living
along their routes and who desire the
service, and is in operation in several
States. And yet the annual deficiency
in the postal revenues is insignificant,
Notwithstanding that we have the best
and most efficient postal service in the
world.
1t is believed that the reduction of
letter postage would benefit all, and
that it would result in an increase of
the postal This a been
the experience in this and foreign coun-
tries. For a short time after the re.
duction went into effect the revenues
would decrease, but this would be quick.
ly followed by a steadily increasing ant
permanent raise.
The reduction is bound to be made il
the course of time, and it looks now as
though the change might be made very
soon.

Presidents First Message.

The Presidents first message was
considered by everyone, regardless OF
political differences, to be a wonder
full literary production, and was OF
such a character as would tend to
raise the author much higher in the
estimation of the people Of the United
States. In selecting a medicine most
suited for family needs it is always
wise to choose one that is held in high
esteem by thousands Of people who
know it's value from personal expert
ence. Such a medicine is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. No other remedy
can take it's place as a cure for belch-
ing, heartburn, dizziness, headache,
nervousness, Indigestion or constipa-
ton. We would, therefore, urge every
sufferer to try it. 1t is also a splendid
spring tonic and preventive of la
grippe, malaria, fever and ague-
