Rural Free Delivery

At the session of the National Board of
Trade last Wednesday, reported in the
Star, Mr. Parsons, of Philadelphia speak
ing on the subject of penny postage said:
81 am opposed to the proposed change in
the rate of postage as long as the revenues
of the Post-ofice Department are less than
the expenditures. The tendency is toward
an increase in government expenditures,
and as one instance of that l invite atten-
tiou to the Rural Free Delivery. l do not
believe the farmers care anything for the
Rural Delivery service. They come to town
anyway for their mail "
The novelty of the new innovation has
about run its course. It is always the case
with public freaks of this character, in
which selfish interests, the mercenary and
pecuniary possibilities of its promoters, are
the chief incentive in the graft Nine
tenths of the members of Congress know
that Rural Delivery is an additional burden
upon the Treasury, uniusti6able, unueces-
sary, and without any compensation what
ever. The present superintendent, Mr.
Machen, in a recent review published in the
star, has himself sounded the alarm, and
expounded the fallacy of the service, al
though he did it unwittingly He only
claims saving of 5000, 900 up to the present
time. Where is it? What is the basis of
this saving? The discontinuance Of fourth.
class post-ofhces2
1t is very doubtful if a single one Of the
discontinued Offices received a stipend
from the Government for rent of the build
ing in which the Office was located If the
saving is not in rent, it must be in the
postmaster's compensation realized from
cancellations, which ceased when his Office
was abolished This is true in one sense,
but misleading in another The revenue
of the abolished Office is taken up L. that
vicinity by the carrier, conveyed to another
Office on his route, and the other fellow
now gets the iucrease-just where the
saving comes in is even a greater mystery
than the disappearance of Potomac fog.
We challenge Mr.. Machen, or any other
man, to produce the figures showing that

Before this Congress appropriates another
dollar to continue and extend the service,
let the members take account of stock on
hand, as every prudent business man
would do, and ascertain the present status
and condition Of the Rural Free Delivery.

Sunday last the GLOBE had an expose Of
the manner in which young girls under the
age Of consent blackmail aged admirers It
must not be supposed that this peculiar
kind Of blackmail is confined to the Capital
Of the Nation. On the contrary, it prevails
to a more or less extent in all the large
cities.
The past week the agitation which has
prevailed in Ohio for some time on this
subject took form, as the following extract
from anewspaper report will show
IS. ]. Hatfield and Secretary Lemert, Of
the State Board Of Pardons, have been ap.
pointed a committee to prepare a report to
be presented to the governor regarding the
age Of consent law.
In the past year the board has considered
many cases arising under this law In
many instances the girl who, as the prose
cutting witness, sent the prisoner to the
penitentiary has been a woman Of bad char
acter, but since she was under the age Of
sixteen the prisoner was found guilty Of
rape and sentenced to a term Of years.
The board desires to see the law changed
50 that a man accused under this statute
will have some chance of defense. In one
case the same girl as prosecuting witness
has sent three men to the peniteutiary

1t seems inexplicable but in one case
the sentiment was SO strong that It almost
upset the departments plans New rural
delivery routes are being established in all
parts of the country every day. Thus the
department is striving to please both the
country and the city, and its efforts ought
to have excellent results in the way of bet
ter streets for the city and good roads in the
country.
1T seems to me, concluded the official,
that the main objection to a rural free de-
livery is that the cost exceeds the revenues
and until the country is more thickly set
tied it cannot be made universal, as il is in
the tight little island of England. "-A. w.

In his essay on Rural Free Delivery, adj
dressed to the Postmaster General and pub
lished in the subsidized Star Ga, 500 per
annum) Mr. Machen stated that the saving
in the diseontinuance Of fourth-class post
Offices and Star Routes amounted to $780,
600. The GLOBE disputes this statement,
and we ask Congress to verify 1t by de-
mandiug an itenized statement. 1t is
plain lie without varnish or veneering on
it. The Rural Free Delivery is an additional
expense on the Government, and was iusti-
tuted by Messrs. Machen and Heath for
no other purpose under the sun than to sell
steal or steel letter boxes to the farmers.

Mr.. Saxton was enjoying the lucrative job

ury Taylor only vouchsafes the following
information on the discharge:
II ordered Saxto s removal Monday. AS
far as the nature of the charges are con-
cerued do not care to discuss that part of
the case. He neglected his duty. That is
all that need be said. It was part of his
work to see that the boarding officers and
others did their duty"
Saxton has been in Office two years He
and two other inspectors were accused of
neglecting their duty in regard to the adj
mission to the country of immigrants who
were not entitled under the law to land
II is said that the evidence against Saxton
was strong but there was long delay be-

recommendation that he be dismissed were
forwarded.

when it was received here to act, but the
