CHEAPER RATE URGED.
Delivery of Packages by Rural Car
rlers Mould Benefit Merchants.

Postmaster General Wynne makes the
following recommendation regarding
postage on packages delivered by the
free rural delivery carriers:
at is recommended for the considera-
ton Of congress that a, rate of three
cents per pound, or any fractional part
thereof, be authorized for packages of
books or merchandise, not exceeding
five pounds, mailed at the distributing
office of any rural free delivery to a
patron on said route. This rate should
apply only to packages deposited at the
local postoflce for delivery to patrons
on routes eminating from that office and
not to mail transmitted from one Office
to another. The rate of three cents per
the department, because there is no ex-
pense for railroad transportation, and
the system by which these packages are
to be delivered is already established,
and such delivery would entail no addi-
tional expense upon the department. A
special stamp could be provided for this
class of mail matter
This would give local merchants a
cheap rate for packages delivered by
the rural free delivery carriers out of
this city, while denying the catalogue
houses that privilege. 1t would be to
the advantage of all postoffices from
which rural free delivery routes are
eSta hliShed

| This winter puts us in mind of the
! winter of the blue snow in Wisconsin.
1t came on suddenly just as it did this
year. The snow fell softly and gently,
taking the blue out of the sky with it
until tss hole earth YES sayased with
Iblue snoW. We we're working in a log
ging camp then. 1t was large camp,
so big hat the pancake griddle was
half a mile long. We used to tie a side
of bacon to each one of the cooks feet
and let him skate back and forth to
grease the griddle. The batter was
mixed in mortar mixer and sent to us
frozen and baled. That was a great
winter. The face Of nature froze and
peeled off. The finger of time was so
numbed with the cold that it couldn't
point with pride. 1t froze the toe nails
OF of the foot of the hill, and paralyzed
the arms Of Morpheus. Timber split
with the frost that winter. A teamste1
was sitting on log drawing it to the
river when it exploded with the cold
catching part of his sheepskin clothes
as the crack in the log closed again
The log was fortunately hollow and he
had noticed as he loaded it that the
pitch had hardened as it ran down the
center of the tree, so he lit match anc
tied it to his whip cracker, setting tn.
pitch on fire. The movement of the
team gave it good draft and the poo
man thawed himself loose before he go1
to the landing place. How fortunat,
that it was a hollow log.-Bailey, il

The jurisdiction of Justices of the
Peace.

Under Article 1876 of the Consti-
tuition of 1898 the jurisdiction D
justices of the ipeace is limited
strictly to the trial. of civil suits
involving any amount up to one
hundIed dollars. In criminal
matters their jurisdiction is limited
exclusively to that of a commit
ting magistrate. They are mol
authorized to try or punish any
one. If the crime of which thd
person is accused is necessarily y
punishable at hard labor, the ius7
tices of the peace have not ever
the right to fix a. bond. If the
crime is misdemeanor, that /
not necessarily punishable at hard
labor, then the justices OF the
peace can bond the accused but
can d nothing more. Thus under
the. Constitution justice OF the
peace*is not authorized to pass
upon the guilt or innocence OF an
accused party and under no cir
cumstances are they permitted to
fine or imprison any one.
A justice Of the peace who levie~
a fine on an accused person ana
collects it, is himself guilty of a
crime and liable to fine and i'm
prisonment. The exercise OF
criminal Jurisdiction by Justice
of the peace is an open violation
of the law and should be punished.
