FOREIGN POSTAL RATES
Will be Radically Reducsd on
Rscom m n d ton of POST
master General.

Washington, Nov. IA radical re-
duction Of the postage rates Of mails
to the leading commercial nations of
Europe will be urged on congress at
this session by Postmaster General
Payne. 1t is confidently expected that
in case the project is carried through
to successful execution, foreign trade
will be greatly stimulated. Ii is be-
lieved that the nations who are to be
approached with a view to being par
ties to the arrangement will readily
give their acquiesence.
The plan will be proposed in Mr..
Payne's annual report. The present
rate is cents per half ounce on letters
to foreign countries, save Canada and
Mexico, between which and this coun-
try the same postage rates are applied
as are imposed on mail within this
country. II is proposed to put the gov
ernments of England. Germany and
France on the same footing.

News and Comments
Moral Cowardice.

His life wrecked. his position gone,
his creditors harassing him, telegra-
pher in Brooklyn killed himself after
writing remarkable letter to the
coroner in which he said: Every
position I have ever had has been lost
through whisky. My life has been
wrecked by 1t. For Gods sake burn
or destroy every saloon in the world. !"
Temperance folk will doubtless find
in this a powerful lesson. Prohibition
lists will make 1t text for appeals to
close the saloons. And yet this poor
suicides logic was wrong as to the
cause of his wrecked life. 1t was not
whisky's fault. 1t was his fault
Whisky does not hurt the man who
does not drink 1t. Saloons never ruin
men who do not voluntarily visit
them. Gambling hells never swallow
up the wages of men who do not gam
BILE. II this mans life was wrecked by
whisky it was because he was NOR
al coward-too cowardly to live, as
his suicide showed. Liquor has its
evils. Saloons have their crimes.
But all the Carrie Nations, all the pro-
hibition laws. can never keep moral
towards in the straight path.-New
York World

FATAL EXPLOSION.

occurred at the plant of the National

Leach, the famous ball player of last
years Pittsburg team, was killed in

rooms were badly wrecked and panes
Of glass all through the main building

The brick walls OF the stripping

there would undoubtedly have been a

The American Federation of Labor

The American Federation of Labor
now in session at New Orleans be-
lieves that every man who has reached
the age of sixty years, and who has
been a naturalized citizen of the Unit
ed States for twenty-one years is en-
titled to a pension of s12 a month, pro-
yiding he has not been earning more
than $1,000 a year. This idea was
embodied in a resolution passed by the
federation yesterday. 1t is a rather
astounding proposition at first thought,
but after all, is there not much to
recommend it? Does not the country
owe some aid to the honest son of toll,
who has reached the sixtieth milestone
on life's journey? Soldiers who pass
through a brief campaign, become PEN
sion candidates. Why should not the
veteran campaigner in the field of la
