SEEK POSTAL LAW CHANGES.
Evident Attempt Being Made TO PiusS
der the Publishers.

The newspaper publishers, both
daily and weekly will have to koas
bnsy or they will suddenly discove.
that Republican congress and a Re
publican president have changed the
postal laws SO as - increase the cost
Of mailing second.class mattar, or so
curtailed the service as to interfere
with the business of distributing
newspapers to the public. That an
organized attempt Is to be made to
do this is patent from the recon.
mendations in the reports of the as.
sistant postmaster general. The claim
Is made that sccond.clasS matter
costs more than the postage charged
produces and therefore the rate
should be raised. But this has been
shown not TO apply to the legitimate
newspapers which in many cases ara
carried by the railroads and express
companies on account OF individual
publishers at rates as low as one
fourth to one-half cent n pound, for
distances within the average range Of
circulation; and this goes to prove
pretty conCluslvely that the one cent
n pound now paid to the government
Is ample, If the price paid the gov
eminent for this service does not coy
or the cost the fault must be with the
service, or its failure TO secure fair
terms from the railroads.
There has always been more or
less scandal about the government
contracts with the railroads for carry.
ing the mail and OF the efforts made
by the railroad agents to pad the
weight when the weighing time ar
riyes for fixing the average weight
carried. The rent authorized by con
grcss to be paid for postal cars is
perennial scandal and evidence is not
lacking OF other grating in this re,
gard. Tho subsidy paid for fast mail
service on the Southern railroad is a
clean steal and unfortunately Demo.
cratic congressman as well as Rcpuh.
Leans are responsible for It. The
Southern railroad Is compelled TO
maze fast time to compete by the
Southern route with its connections
a. New Orleans for the overland tray.
O. and therefore must continue to run
its trains at the best speed that the
condition Of its roadway will allow.
In spite Of all this evidence OF col
fusion between congress, the admins.
tration and the railroads, by which
millions a year are paid more than
the service is worth and the express
companies pay for similar service
the attempt is to be made to increase
the cost to the newspaper publishers,
who are already paying a good fair
price. See your congressman and
don't let the railroads and the poll
ticans use you as a cats paw to pull
their chcstuuts out OF the fire
