The Richmond Cll;) Item remarks, in
 connection with the postoffice scandals, that ''the G. O. P. is not afraid to clean it's own house and would rather do it xhan leave it to the other party" No body doubts that, for if the Democrats get a show at 1t they will do a thorough dub, though it may be as stupendous as that of Hercules and the Augean stables. We don't blame the Republicans for wanting to do the job in their own way.

Having A Battle
Birmingham Ledger.

 A man in Moosic, Pa, is having a battle with his stomach. The stom ach has been on strike for sometime, and now the man has resolved to have a lockout. He has not eaten anything for twenty days. He says he will not feed his stomach for full forty days. and will then see how it will behave. A man with grit enough to punish his stomach that way may force 1t to do its duty. cd

The Advertisers Circulation In. creaseS

The guaranteed net paid circulation of the Daily and Sunday Advertiser continues to STOW. The sworn oetailed figures for the month of April just passed, emphasize The Adverttsers oft-repeated statement that us guaranteed net paid circulation is greater than the actual issue of any other two Ala pama morning newspapers combined. Taking tnis Tact, in connection with the high class or the papers readers, into consideration, It v no wonder The Advertiser prints a larger volume of advertising. local and foreign, day py day, than either of its State morning con- kemporaries. and at a higher rate per inch.

The Strongest Man. |.

Bessemer Journal.
 Personally we have never been a very strong admirer of ex-Presidcnt Grover Cleveland. especially since his last term, but we believe that he Is today the strongest man in the ranks of the Demo- cratic party; and if he should be nomi- mated for President, Rooseyelt's doom could be foreseen.

HOW DO THEY KNowP

A fav0rite expression with number of our Democratic contemporaries runs something like this: MT. Cleveland is the only man who could beat Roosevelt and he cannot get the nomination. Peo- pie who think they know all about 1t sometimes are mistaken. Much as we ad- {. nire MT. Cleveland we do not assume to Cknow that he is the only Democrat who hidn be elected, nor do we know that he fn%n win. We believe him to be the rlrongest man but we certainly do not ssknow it. There may be others who would prove stronger candidates than he, but we don't know that, either.
 Neither are we any more sure of the other proposition. It may be impossible for Cleveland to get the nomination, even if he is admittedly the strongest man. There are such bitter prejudices against him in certain quarters that it may be found impossible to nominate him. Most ef the charges against him are not only unjust but untrue. They spring in many instances from disappointed office-seek- CTS, and in other cases are the result of prejudice based on the skilfully built up stories of his enemies. We are 10th to believe, however. that this class of oppo- sition will make his nomination impossi- AIe, provided it shall appear that he is really the strongest man. Be that as it may. a newspaper or public man is talk ing long chances in the prediction busi- ness by asserting that he cannot get the nomination. It is almost a year till the conventoin meets and no editor or any body else knows what will happen then. This paper could assert that MT. Cleve- land will be nominated and elected. and would have as much reason for saying so as those have to assert the contrary. The future has not been revealed to any of us.

 The educational campaign is still going on in Lauderdale. The Times is warmly in favor of the agitation.

been a steady average increase in post office rentals as postal business has ex- banded. but there is as yet no official in- dication that abnormal rentals have been paid.

 Hits Railway Mail Service.
 Investigation of the postoffice scandal now promises to reach the contracts for the railway mail service, which amounted last year to the sum of $34. .700, 900, the largest single item of expenditure in this great department. Various hints of bad methods in the matter of railway mail contracts have been made at he depart ment and other places in Washington since the investigation began. and today for the first time came a practical ad- mission that charges of this character were among those on file. The opportu- mites for favoritism. commissions and other illegal transactions in the matter of such contracts are quite extensive, more so than in any other division of the department. One of the charges is that officials have arranged these contracts in this city at time when the mail was heaviest, so that no fair average was obtained.
 Chance for Fraud.
 The transaction of stampel mail and that which goes out under executive and Congressional franks. the latter in the course of a year amounting to thousands of tons, is source of great revenue to the mail-carrying railroads. In making up the estimates for the year 1t has been alleged that the basis of calculation was taken at the time when the mail was the heaviest, and on this account the government has lost large sums of money. Investigation of this part of the scandal has just begun, but before 1t Is completed a thorough overhauling of all mail contracts will be made.
 It is even charged that some Senators and Representatives have complied with a request to hold back the larger part of their mail such as pamphlets and other documents. in order that 1t might De weighed at a particular time.
 Former Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith. had another consultation tonight with MT. Payne on the postofice scandal. and has filed his statement. bear ing on the charges of ,eymour W. Tul- loch. It is the intention of Postmaster General Payne to give this out tomorrow for publication.
