a SUGGESTION ABOUT POSTAGE.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: number of years ago | proposed TO the
Post Office Department that the fifty thousand
postofices having money order facilities be al
lowed TO issue orders in limited amounts. but none
TO be drawn upon them
The plan was heartily indorsed by many, includ-
ing ex-Postmaster General James, but the Post
Office Department failed to carry out the plan.
and the residents at these little places stiH have
to rely upon the slow going registered letter costing
eight cents when sending small amounts for news
paper subscriptions etc. instead of the three
cent money order with which the larger places are
favored
This injustice, suppose, will always remain.
but as The Tribune was so kind in bringing my
plan TO the attention of the public, thought per-
haps you might do the same with a suggestion
upon another point
Every now and then some proposes that the
letter rate of postage be reduced one cent
Should this be DONE there would be great de-
ficiency each year.
Let the rate of letter postage be reduced 70 one
and one-half cents, and stamps of that denom-
fnation be issued. Then let them be sold only in
quantities of two. four six. eight and ten and any
multiple OF ten, 5. w. HOOK

RaNTISTS AND RANTiSM.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The letter of I. r. c. with the above head
ing in your issue of the sth inst. to require
some notice. | am well that the columns Of
a great daily are not suited for the discussion of
denominational questions But where there is dog
matte assertion there may be counter assertion
while the proofs may be left to the standard
books Your correspondent says: "Baptists are
those who practise immersion as baptism, and
those who practise sprinkng baptism are
rantists." Very goodi Then those who practise
immersion are immersionists. We would not OBJ
iect to the epthet rantsts II they would agree to
be called immersonists. There is more reason
in one case than the other although the term
rantists would be an opprobrious epithet, mas
much as in the popular it would signify
rantas. He says again that the Greek word bap-
tie means ito dip, plunge. to immerse." This
most emphatcaily deny My denial is valid
as his assertion. For proof DR.. Dale's
baustiye work Baptism DR.. Stearns's com
pendium on The Meaning and Power of Baptism -
understand the word to mean "a change of state,
especially a symbolic cleansing, by the use Of "a
LIQUID" But sprinhlers, rantists If you
please, believe in baptism much any one,
and therefore have as much right to the name
