new lines under construction cover SD

provement in That Branch of

indications are that the recent declara-
ton of heads of the department that the
work of this important division would
be rapidly brought zap TO date, VIII
soon he realized.
There were opened during the month
of January sos, 800 letters, and during the
same period 103,360 ordinary letters were
returned to senders-an increase OF
2S 257 over the previous month. The
unopened ordinary unclaimed letters re-
maining on hand January 81, 1906, num-
bered go 4G0-a reduction for the month
OF 100, 50o letters.
The immensely of the work Of this
great division can only be appreciated
when IL is considered that during the
last fiscal year Il. oo0.o00 pieces of mail

scene recently enacted in one of the
beautiful old churches of Paris might
have passed on the stage as a poor

controversy. But as an actual occur

in the capital city of one of the most

The internal enemies of the French
republic may be roughly divided into
two groups, the royalists and i'm

Bonaparte on the throne OF France
and the Radicals and Socialists. who
believe that public affairs should be

laboring class. The extreme clerical
party is the ally of the monarchists
and the radical anti-cleFicals support
the Socialists. The religious ques-
ton once settled, the royalist party
would lose its strongest support, and
the Socialists viii have to progress
more slowly, using, perhaps, eco
nomic arguments, instead OF appeal
ing to the violent passions Of anti
clericalism. The Republican party
would then be more nearly able tC

and foreign affairs of France.

A New Road to Baltimore.


Every plan for bringing the two cities

Will benefit both cities. Washington Is

blackened with the smoke OF factories.

turing city, with residential sections Of

vast country necessarily presents, The
people of Washington want To come 20

poses.
With this introduction the Balti-
more Sun commends heartily a
project, nov pending in the Legisla-
ture of Maryland, for the construe-
ton of good road-not a boulevard,
but a good road-between the Can't
tai and the chief city of the Chesa-
peake. la the Sunpaper's judgment
it is good business policy for the
Oriole statesmen Ito do everything
practicable" to encourage the Wash
ington people TO make their homes in
that State.
Similarly, it is good business policy
for the people of Washington to en-
courage intercourse with their Balti-
more neighbors. While we of the
Capital are not commercial idlers, as
the Sunpaper seems to think, and are
as ready to do business as any other
people anywhere, we have a contin-
ued, active interest in the city at the
head of the Bay. We go there a great
deal, we do much trading with her
manufacturers and wholesale mer-
chants. we follow her municipal
progress closely, and when she arose
so splendidly from the ruins of her
great fire we were prouder than any
of her other friends.
Baltimore has also an interest," in
us. She will use the new highway as
much as we. There is never Cefe-
mony OF national interest here but
Baltimore sends more visitors than

dentally. Baltimore does some trad

deal more.
