SENSE FROM NEW

Postmaster General New is at fl again: that is 10 say, he is discuss ing the proposing annual changes in the postal rates.
 In two things he suggests to Con- gross he talks sense; He would re- ducc the rate on private postal carIs back to onl cont; and h." would reduce the rate upon tram .icnt newspapers to one cent for two ounces.
 As was forecast a year ago, the increased rate on private mailing carls failed to yield additional revenue. Few of th,m have been mailed and apparently nothing has taken their place. There is no logic why private postal card should cost more to mail than a govern mont postal
 Anyone who has ondeavorcd to send single newspapers 10 friends in other cities realizes inc injustice of 0he present high rate. A srrvic" Of Ihls kind has high social value, as people sond papers 10 friends only when they contain something n. rsonal to justify it,
 The postmaster general may mako some other sugg stions that are not so valuable; but tho two for going, if adopted, Uil b" a step in the right direction.

THE DOWN TREND

The general level of the stock market is now where it was last September, before the advance in cident to the election of MT, Cool idge. Just as the advance of last November had no significance eX- ccpt in the minds of spectators, so the drop Of recent days has no significance. The stock market has it's own ncbulous rules and regua- lions for going up or down, most of which are based upon mob psy- chology and gucssWOrk.

BROOKHART COMEDY AND THE SENATE

Much massaging of baldspots is taking place in the Senate in con- nection with the plan to oust Sena- tor Brookhart of Iowa, one of those Republicans in name only" who kick over the apple barrel at every opportunity.
 Administration senators realize fully that if Brookhart is declared not elected before April 27 he will file his name in the Iowa primaries and run against Senator Cummins, one of the pets of the party in power.
 Strategy would suggest, therefore that Brookhart be not busted until after April 27.
 But it isn't as simple as this, as Brookhart is an accomplished strategist himself.
 If the Senate dilydallies until April 27 with the busting papers. i Brookhart intends to resign before that time and enter the primaries against Cummins anyhow.
 This is the business that is wor- rying the administration. As for Cu1nmins himself, he is quite frantic.
 If the Senate does not oust Brook hart and if he does not resign his form does not expire until 1881. IT he resigns before April 27, and be- | fore the Senate formally ousts him, 1 Brookhart seems to take a long J chance at giving up a comfortable ! scat in favor of entering into an- other clcctionccring melee, with probabilities whether he would re- turn 10 the Senate in doubt, Some say he could defeat Cummins; others say the entire weight of the administration wonld be thrown into the fray 10 sayc Cummins from such a fate.
 Something will have 10 be donc within 2T days, and that is rather rapid for the senators.

NUTMEG pOPI LAYTON

According 10 tho Inst estimate Of the federal census bureau, Conncc- tIcut has gone ahead of Maryland in popul7ion. Whether this is rally a fact not even the census bureau knows, as it bases its csi- mates upon previous incrcas's.
 There are scarcely any two states that differ 10 such an extent as Connect It and Maryland, The Nutmeg state hos no metropolitan city oC fhc first class, but has a fairly large assortment of minor cities which consider themselves as good as metropolitan cities but arc uot as large,
 Maryland, on 'ha other hand, las one large city vieins with Boston proper and St. Lours and has uo other city ot consequence, Cumb,r- land perhaps excepted. Marylanl's small towns arc yery small indeed. Baltimore has more thaR half 'h" population Of the s'ato, and has practically half the population ot Connecticut.
 The dispcrsa. Of population in  Connecticut is much more dosiraln than in MarylaHI Thcro Is som - thing wrong in d state where mor than half The population fochs 10 one city.

DEMOCRATIC ISSUES
DISCOVERED

Clem Shaver, chairman Of the Democratic national committee, has located some sisues for the 1926 congressional campaign, to wit: Presidential appointments, the aluminium company. tho Tariff commission Investigation, and the methods Of reducing taxes
 These give evidence of deep thought. They surpass the issues brought to the attention Of Maine Voters and embodying tariff re- ductions.
 Presidential appointments open wide field for discussion; the aluminium company, Of which Secretary Mellon Is Q stockholder, yields enough grit to induce thought waves among voters in many states; the Tariff comms- sion will furnish humor. The Demo- cratic plan for tax reduction. which would reduce federal income and expend the national debt over q longer period, lost In Congress be- cause 1t was not as logical as the plan adopted. This is technicality that will not of itself do much to arouse General Apathy.
 The third of the Senate which will have to face the electorate this year will be forced 10 deal in state issues 10 a large extent; and Clem shaver's campaign platform will ap- ply but partially.
 The administration already seems reconciled to the probability of los ing strength in the Senate. That it will lose control of the upper house altogether is being forecast by rep utable political writers. This would net be surprising, inasmuch as most Of the senators up for reelection. who sailed on the tail of the Hard ing kite In 1920, are forced to stand upon their merits this year and find the situation very different.

sPIKING SMITHS PLAN

Governor Smiths housing plan, including the state housing bank, has met with disaster at Albany, where the judiciary committee of the lower house shelved the entire scheme.
 The Republican assemblymen upstate naturally do not live on the East Side Of New York and appar- ently are not interested in housing,
 The main objection. of course was political. To have permitted Governor Smith to go through with such an epoch-malling plan would have permitted his political star to sparkle a bit brighter So they killed 1t on general principles -- that is to say, in line with tried and true political principle, and will substitute their own plan.

A CONVICT SIIIp ON THE SEAS

The term "conviet ship" smacks of the 18th century; yet there Is still ono aAoah and 1t Is doing business.
 The LaMariniere Is its name, and 1t flies tho French flag. At the present moment 1t is enroute 10 Devils Island. French Guiana. carrying $40 prisoners who hayo been sentenced to spend the re- mainder Of their lives on thls bar ren and inhospitable spcck in the ocean.
 The human derelicts aboard arc known as bandits" in this coun- try, France Is putting them where they will no longer have an oppor- tunity to threaten society.
 France regards herself as 100 per cent efficient in tho treatment Of its conyicts. Sentlmentallty is virtually unknown. There will be no opportunity for mutiny en route. The ship is equipped with ten pumps for the projection of hot steam into the mob should there be melee to take charge of tho vessel. For individual hot-heads" there are appliances for the infl!c- ton of punishment guaranteed to discourage the most desperate Of bandits.
 Devils Island Is on instance Of French economy. After the con victs have begun their living death" on this island the cost of upkeep Is slight.
 But everyone will not agree that this is humane way to dispose Of life and long term prisoners. In the case of the latter there Is something to be said In opposition to the right of a state to injure their health while incarceration is under way. And In the case of all there is something to be said against inhumane punishment which drives many of the unfor- tunate insane.
 England gave up It's penal colonies in the 18th century in re- sponse to an awakened public re- vulsion. But England still knows how to deal with criminals, as It's low crime record amply proves. France could do the same, but pub lie opinion across the channel has not yet reached the point where such treatment of human beings is considered "cruel and unusual punishment"
