portions Of steamships but for greater
capacity and greater economy OF trans
portation are Of the strongest and most
convincing character As the diSplace-
meut of a steamship is increased by in
crcaSng the draught, the power required
10 drive a ton Of displacement at 4 given
speed is reduced. Some instances of the
limitations Of draught may be cited TO
show how important is the question OF
providing greater draught Hld greater
depth Of channels TO meet this draught.
The Deutschland, one ofthe largest YES

cause Of the limits imposed by her de-

this great ship of more than 5000 tons
displacement can carry only 500 70 6oc
tons of cargo. If her draught cold be
increased one foot about $50 tons .lorC
cargo could be carried, and two feet IN

William McLane, the well-known
pioneer, who has been q resident OF
this county over half century, died
at his home on Mud Bay, Monday
afternoon, of general collapse from
age. He rounded out the Seth year OF
an honorable life, Nov. 4,h, last year.
He was born in Butler county, Pa,
and came here in 1852, settling on the
tract of land that has ever since been
his home. Mr.. McLane made a trip
to his State OF nativity about score
of years ago, but he stayed there only
few days, as all former acquaint-
ances had either died, grown out OF
his recollection, or drifted to other
places, leaving him literally "a stranger
in a strange land" Instead of being
visit of pleasure. he reported it to be
the saddest event in his life. and he
Immediately hurried back to a climate
and companionship he thrice priced
from this experience.
Mr.. McLane was q man OF good
Judgment, genial nature and of warm
friendship. He was several times q
member Of the Legislature, during the
exciting session of Territorial days.
He was a member Of the Council
(Which was the upper branch of legis-
lators. now known as the Senate) with
Marshall Blinn, Col. Trip, J. NJ.

rington, Ed. Wilson, C. NJ. Bradshaw
and H. G. Strive. all OF whom have
passed away, and with Francis Henry
as member of the House. During his
prime be was an important factor in
public life.
His wife died during the seventies.
He leaves = son and three daughters,
all grown. His son Miner and Mrs.
Swan live at home, Mrs. Ahern in the
same neighborhood, and Mrs. Ed.

bevy OF young, lively, beautiful and

Britain. The interest thus manifested
would have been commendable If 1t
had been based upon a parental solici-
tude for these young communities, in
stead of a sordid calculation Of pounds,
shillings. and pence. The amount OF
taxation they were able to bear, and
the form in which these taxes should be
imposed, were the subjects Of inquiry,
AS early as 1855 a resolution passed
the British parliament, asserting the
right to lay stamp duties in America
The right thus asserted was permitted
to slumber until 1865. when it was for
the first time embodied in law. The
repeal Of this statute in the following
year, and its re-enactment during the
year afterwards, exhibit a degree OF
vacillation that must be attributed to
a consciousness of wrong. Year after
year the disputes beween Britain and
her colonies became more acrimonious,
until the month of April, 1775, when
the battles Of Lexington and Concord
put an end to all hope of peaceful ac-
commodation.

POSTAL RULES.
Senator TiIIman Thinks the Postoffice
Department Is Too Arbitrary.

There Is too much rule and too much
arbitrary dictation and assumption or
authority, apparently or actually, by
the postoffice department to satisfy
me; and l will illustrate that by a lit
tie incident in my own affairs to show
just how dictatorial they are. Three
of four months ago l sent out some
letters to certain rural free delivery
carriers in my state, asking them to
send me the names Of the principal pa
irons on their respective routes-those
who would appreciate public docu-
ments and things Of that character. l
wanted 1t for my own use, to distrib-
ute public literature, seeds, etc. or
course, in a small state like mine, or
like that of the senator from New
Hampshire, he can understand what Is
meant by that, while senators who rep
resent large constituencies, where they
run up into the millions, do not care
about these little things and their con-
stituents do not expect them.
Some of those carriers notified me
that il was against the rules Of the
postoffice department for them to fur
nish such names to anybody. there
upon wrote a letter to the postofflce
department making inquiry as to
whether l could not get the names of
my own constituents for a perfectly
leBlllIIldlc pOSC oio
asked that the regulations be modified
so far as senator's and representatives
were concerned but they sternly re-
fused to do so, and said 1t was against
their custom. Therefore / could not
get them to do anything.
l can understand why II Is not de-
sirable that such names should be
distributed generally. because there are
certain instrumentalities Of fraud
practiced on unsuspecting people to
get the names Of bona fide residents
so as to send them all sorts Of circu-
lars and all that kind of thing. /
thought, however, 1t might be permit
ted that a rural carrier should send
to a representative of his state or OF
his district in congress the names Of
his constituents: but the high muck-a-
mucks up here did not think 1t was
permissible and l had to submit.
1 would suggest, instead Of having
so many abominable rules and regula-
tions, as l will point out a little later
and l have been waiting for such an
opportunity-that we ought to have
little more specific legislation, statu-
tory law, regulating the postoffice de-
partment, so as to get rid of such COM
plaints.-Senator Tillman to the Sem
ate.
