pointing out that the dill proposed by
the postmaster general provides sys-
TEN of charges whereby merchants in
small towns and cities may recover =
portion # the trade which they have
lost through the advantages now en-
loved by the large mail order houses,
The new bill is SO drawn that mail Or
Ter establishments will DE compelled
to pay the sum of s.12 on one pound
as opposed to 500 for the country mer
chant who can deliver his goods
through the rural carriers; the mail
order mouse rate being s.24 for two
mounds as against $.o7 for two pounds
for the country merchant. $.36 for three
pounds as opposed to 500 for three
pounds; s4S for four pounds as op.
posed to s11; $50 for five pounds as
opposed to SIS; So for three pounds
as opposed to SIS; ss4 for four pounds

as opposed to SIG; $l.OS for nine
pounds as opposed to $.21; $1.2o for ten
pounds lis opposed to $.23 and 1872 for
eleven pounds as opposed to S.25.
AS there are now about 10000 rural
free delivery routes in this country
which serve between 100000 and 20,
OOO, 900 of people it is easily seen that
the new rates if adopted would
place the rural trade in those places
where rural free delivery is best es-
tablisncd or along the routes traversed
and the big Chicago mail orGer houses
would be forced to relinquish at least
. part of the trade they now enJOy.

young attorneys who loaf about the
courts picking up what they can IN
Just such cases as this. Thus many
defendants who are too poor to hire
the better class of attorneys find them
selves at tremendous disadvantage.
The counsel fee allowed by the State
of New York is so small that attor-
neys with any considerable amount OF
practice were prone to beg off from at
tending such cases whenever they
were appointed. In this way the work
was reserved to the poorer class of at
torneys with little or no experience.
The Court in this case selected Mr..
Unterneyer and that gentleman ac-
copied the assignment in good faith.
It is reported on excellent authority
that since the case was assigned him
he has given it as nearly his exclusive
attention as it is possible for a man
of his activities to do. There is
every indication that the defendant
in this case at least will be fairly
treated. If this case, the first in a

Preserve the Playground.

The city OF San francisco, through
some of its citizens, is seeking new
water supply. The rest of the coun-
| try has no objection to San Francisco
having the best water supply it can
procure so long as it does not inter-
fere with the rights of the others, or
so long as the city does not work
hardship upon any considerable num-
Der OF people. But for some reason
the people who propose to procure a
better water supply for San Francisco
have set their hearts upon creating
vast artificial lake in the Hetch-
Yosemite National Park 1t is a val
| ley as large and as beautiful as
Yosemite Valley. The Yosemite Ma
tional Park embraces the water sheds
of two rivers, the Murced and the
Tuolumne. The Yosemite Valley is in
the Murced basin, and the Hetch-
Hetchy Valley, the Grand Canyon of
the Tuolumne, and the Tuolumne
Meadows are in the Tuolumne basin
With the exception of the Yosemite
Valley the Toulumne is the more
beautiful of the two and has been
voted such by popular attention, for il
| is in this valley that the greater part
| of the pleasure camping is done.
| The proponents of this scheme to
secure a cheap water supply for the
city OF San Francisco at the expense
of the citizens of the nation have
showed great persistence They first
made application to the late Hon. E.
A. Hitchcock, then Secretary of the
| Interior. He denied them. Then
Congress turned them down. The
matter was next laid before the
President who referred it to Hon.
Victor H. Metcalf, then Secretary OF
Commerce and Labor. His opinion
conceded with that of Hitchcock
Secretary James r. Garfield, during
his term of office reversed the opinions
of those who had preceded him in the
case, and with this as basis the
proponents again went to Congress
