RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
Wide Extension and Increased
Cost Hf tho Service.

| Cost OF tho Service.
| Postmaster GenCial Payne Will ask
Congress at the coming session to ap-
propriatc $l2 1000, 900 for rural free
delivery.
| For the fiscal year 1901 the sum of
Sl $50 900 was mado available for the
| purpose. For the fiscal year 1902
these figures were moro than doubled.
The postal officials have available for
tho present year 81 100000. This
VIII not cover tho expenses of the
| service, as from present indications
| thcro will be q deficit of about $500, :
000
On July l, 1908, ID 900 rural routes
will be in operation in the Unitod
States. Ii is estimated that it will
take $4,000 900 to maintain the sor-
vice ncXt year. In addition to this,
funds will be necessary to make the
extensions demanded, and for this pur-
pose $3,000,000 additional will be
asked by Postmaster General Payne,
making the total 100000. On
July last tboro were nearly $500
routes in operations; on September IS
the number had increased to 1O,G7S;
and, as stated above, the total by the
end of the fiscal year will reach at least
900.
These figures have excited alarm
among those who believe that rural
FREQ delivery will eventually become
so ponderous as to swamp the service.
Those who are Immediately in charge
of il Wow the future with complaccncy
Rural free delivery appropriations
arc higher now than evor," said an
official today, and they will continue
to grow for some time to come. Those
who claim that rural free delivery has
grown too rapidly should consider IN
connection with tho large appropria-
tions for this service that the Post
Office Department will this year come
very near a solvent showing; in fact,
the deficit will be smaller than it has
been for years. 1t is true that this re-
suit is duo IN large part to the changed
! classification of second class mail mat
ter. In time rural tree delivery will
be put OH such basis, however, that
| it will come as near being paying in
vcstmcnt as any other branch of the
service. 1t supcrsedes fourth-class
offices, star routes and mail messenger
service, and it is our belief that cvcn-
tuaily it will come so near paying that
no moro complaints will be hcard.'

is right and proper in any Judge
Vho presides owe court of justice.
If Judge Bundy commits an error he is
honest and just enough to correct it.
He is positive Judge, who is always
willing to hear both sides of all cases
that are brought before him. Judge
Bundy, may not be known as he
should TO the people of Washington
and THE BEE takes this opportunity 20
tell who he is:
Charles Smith Bundy a native of
Broome County, State Of New York,
graduate of Hamilton College in the
class of 1854. Studied law and was ad-
mitted TO the bar in Sept. 1855 at the
Tompkins County general term. Moved
to Wisconsin in 1857. where he prac-
ticed his profession until the spring of
1861, when he came to tne District
with a gun on his shoulder as orderly
Sergeant of Co. K Fifth Wisconsin
Volunteers. He has held the office of
Justice of the Peace without interrupt
toin from his first appointment by
President Hayes in June 1873.
Mr. Bundy IS Just the kind of a man
TO be upon the bench. He is easy to
approach and there is not a more
reasonable man TO be found. He is
not controlled by favOritiSm and neith-
er does he know a man by the color
of his skin. In the dispensatiOn of JUS
tice he knows no color or position.
He is popular among the members
Of the bar as we'll as among the citi-
zens of Washington. A man ofthe char
aCter and disposition of Judge Bundy
cannot help from commanding the re-
speet and confidence of the people.
1t is not every man who IS fitted for
a Judge. He must not make up his
decision before he has heard both sides
Of case that is brought before him
no matter what his feelings may be or
what his opinion NAV be at the time
or before the conclusion of the testi-
mony. Some men are too COWardly
to be Judge of courts.
they allow themselves to be con-
trolled by sentiment or public opinion
Justice Bunay IS like the late Justice
Brady in this particular: He has
judgement and thoughts of his own.
Neither sentiment nor public opinion
control his sentences. In many in
stances police officers are to be com
mended, yet Judge Bundy is one who
will not permit them to run rough
shod over the people. They must prove
their case beyond a reasonable doubt
before he will convict a defendant.
He is not man TO take revenge on a
client because the clients attorney is
Objectionable to him! There is nothing
pretentious about him. He is a Christ
ian Judge. THE BEE cannot say too
much in commeudation of Judge Bun
DIV. He deserves it and the opinion

publican Party.

DIR. Francisco de Paula Rodrigues
Alyes, who was elected president Of
the United States of Brazil last
March, was formally inaugurated No
yember Is. The Inauguration cere-
mony took place at the capital, Rio
JaneirO, and the occasion was doubly
important to the citizens of Brazil,
because it was also the anniversary
Of the proclamation of the republic,
the Brazilian Fourth of July.
The new president belongs TO the
republican party, which is also de-
scribed as the conservative, the OPP
posing faction being the federal par
ty. He was born on July z, 1S4S, at
Guaretingueta, in the state of Sac
Paulo. He was graduated from the
Dom Pedro IL. college in 1866, and in
1870 received the degree Of doctor in
law at the college of Sac Paulo.
Shortly after that he was elected to
the state legislature of Sac PaulO,
and to the imperial congress in 1887.
Emperor Dom Pedro ii. appointed
him after that as president of the
state of Sac PaulO. After the proc
lamation of the republic, in 1889, he
was elected representative of his na-
tive state in the First federal assem-
bly,, and helped to frame the Brazil
ian constitution. In 1891 he was ap-
pointed minister of the treasury un-
der President Peixoto, and in 1895
was elected federal senator for his
state. He resigned his place in the
senate to assume the second time the
duties of minister of the treasury un-
der President de Moraes. DR.. AlSes
was again elected to the senate, and
again left that body to become the
governor of his state, and before his
term of office had expired he was
chosen to the presidency of the re-
public.

ssItiS important to the people of the Dis

Lower Court ofthe Police Court, Judge

When he first came upon the bench
the prediction was that he would be a
tyrant and the power that placed him
there would have cause to regret it.
The BEE is always willing to give
credit where it is due and 10 treat
everybody fair and just.
In the appointment of Justice Bundy
as the temporary Judge of the Police
Court, no man has given greater salts

THE KING OF SIAM.
Oriental POtentate, Who VIII Visit
Us Soon, Is n Truly Pro-
EressiVe Monarch.

Chulalongkorn l., king of Siam, has
long been contemplating a visit to the
United States. The crown prince is
at present making a tour here, and
his father has definitely announced his
intention of coming over in January
next
His majesty Chulalongkorn-or we
may be permitted to say his royal hair
pin, as that is precisely what chu la
long korn means-was born Septem-
ber l, 1858, and at the age of Is he sue
ceeded to the throne upon the death
of his father. Then, according to ST,
amese custom, he went into nOvit-
ate for the priesthood for two days.
In 1873 he was again crowned, and
here, seated upon his magnificent
throne, ne released his cOurtiers from
the time-hOnOred custom of appearing
in their sOveTeign's presence on hands
and knees. This was the beginning Of
his doing away with many rigid and
ridiculous court rules. Formerly the
king was regarded as a sort of semi
divine being. He dressed as no one
else did and he used words which no
one else was allowed to utter. King
Chulalongkorn attires himself in or
dinary dress and knows how to make
himself generally agreeable. He is
unusually studious and progressive,
and has during his reign introduced
privy council, cabinet, and a legisla-
tive council. There is a noticeable lack
of dOgmatism in all his decisions.
To insure the greatest degree of
welfare for his people the king is con-
tinually sending his officials on inves-
tigating excursions, and if in the
course of their travels they find any
hints which may be of advantage to
Siam, he heartily cooperates in any
feasible project. Not only is he edu-
eating his sons abroad, but he is main
tanning 80 other young men who are
studying some one of the professions.
He himself is an extensive traveller.

ton in relation to neighboring states,
its influence over them and its main
tenance of its own native government,
