which he directed attention to the re-

The congress has taken action in
pursuance of the recommendations of
that report and of the president to the
extent of appropriating funds and en-
acting legislation for tho establishment
of the workhouse and reformatory.
No action, however. has been taken
by the congress with respect to the
Jail. the conditions of which are still
antiqnated and insanitary. earnestly

appropriation to enable thorough re-
modelling of that institution to be
made without delay. II is reproach

Po3tofEce Department.

tSecond class matterl-The deficit
every year in the postoffice department
Is largely caused by the low rate of
postage Of one cent n pound charged
on second class mail matter. which in
cludes not only newspapers. but maya
zines and miscellaneous periodicals.
The actual loss growing out of the
transmission of this second class mail
matter at one cent pound amounts
to about s63.d00.00o year. The aver
age cost of the transportation of this
matter is more than nine cents a
pound.
II appears that the average distance
over which newspapers are delivered
Ia their customers is a91 miles, while
the average haul of the magazine is
three and one-haif times the haul of
the daily newspapers. yet all of them
pay the same postage rate of one cent
pound. The statistics Of 1907 show
that s"cond-class mail matter cnnsti-
tuted 1891 per cent. of the weight of
all Of the mail and yielded only ..si
per cent of the revenue.
The figures given are startling and
show the payment by the government
of an enormous subsidy to the news-
papers. magazines and periodicals. and
congress may well consider whether
radical steps should not be taken to
reduce the deficit in the po~raffiee de-
nartment CAUSED by this discrepancy
between the actual cost of transpor-
tafion and the compensation exacted
therefor
A great saving might be made,
amounting to much more than half of
the loss bv imposing upon magazines
and periodicals n higher rate of post
age. They ar much heavier than
newspapers and contain a higher pro-
port on of advertisements than reading
matter and the average OF their dis
lance OF transportation is three and
one-half times as great.
The total deficit for the last fiscal
year in the postoffice department
amounted to ST.. 500. 900 The branches
Of it's business which il did at a loss
were the second class mail service. in
which the loss. a. already said. Vas
