Postmaster General Wanamaker Is deter
mined to continue his battle for postal teleg
raphy , and to push it to n successful termin
ation under his administration if possible.
Ho will urKC its pruntlcablllty In bis annual
rciMjrt , and believes that ho has the masses
with him. Ho says the farmers alliance and
labor organizations , ai well ns the merchants
nnd every class that deals with the popula
tion directly , will be at his back. Ho will
treat the subject at great length and put It In
n now light. Ho leaves the question of penny
letter postnjo with congress after showing
its cost nnd advantages.
The post muster goncr.il is now
studying the parcel post p'robletn.
There are two classes bitterly op
posed to its adoption or there is little
iloubtthat it would be accomplished this win
ter. The express companies and merchants
in small towns are vehemently In opposition.
Tlio first naturally do not want to stand
the losses which would immediately accrue
to their business , and the latter contend that
the merchants of the largo cities , who can
sell poods cheaper lira * the small merchants ,
would do the busuiess of the country by
mall. Mr. Waiiamalj'er Is a very extensive
merchant himself , and the dealers would In
stantly charge him. with seltlsh alms in advo
cating the parcel post , no matter how popu
lar it would bo. In this connection the fact
is recalled tlmt the express companies Imvo
never been put under the provisions of the
interstate commerce -law , although they are
morally just as amenable.
The proposition. ( jo be made this winter ,
and it will doubtless prevail , as then ) ap-
iwai-s to bo a universal demand for it and no
opposition In rongreds.

today devoted caqh , sfvcral columns to n loud
cry of alarm against the present pension ex
penditures. The Herald says that if there is
not a curtailment ) Uiu coming session "tho
disbursements for jienfctons will throw the
federal government into hopeless bank1
rupti'y , " and basu Xta statement upon the
' '
aundunco'mcnt thatahe'ro will bo a pension
deficiently of 0,000,000 at the opening of the
comiug'sosslon. It announces that the demo
cratic party has a great work to perform in
repealing some of the 'present ' pension laws
nnd In " the '
"checking republican parly's
rewarding soldiers for their partisan fealty. "
In other words , It charges the republican ad
ministrations of the past ami present with
Riving the soldiers and widows and orphans
enormous and unnecessary pensions purely
because they have assisted the republican
organization.
This Is the touo of the entire
sentiment of the democratic news
papers not only In Now York
but Now England. They will demand the
repeal of the principal pension laws and will
enter the next campaign upon that platform.
They say the tlmo has come when politicians
and the people as a body should not bo mealy-
mouthed about the pension business , but
should strike out and boldly proclaim them
selves In favor of putting a stop to the Issu
ance of pensions. It Is believed by republi
cans in Washington that this will bo n prom
inent Issue In the campaign of 18'W , at least
the democrats have put themselves on record
for this policy.

A desperate attempt will bo made by the
democrats this winter to dofont the new con
gressional apportionment bill. They will
charge every species of fraud against the
work of Superintendent Porter nnd his su
pervisors and enumerators and will ask for a
congressional investigation into the charges
which they will make , the purpose being to
delay flnal action upon the rcnpportionmcnt
bill until the next congress so that the demo
cratic house can control action. There is
no likelihood , however , that this cry will
have any effect , The ronubllcans Intend to
take up the reapportlonment bill nt an' early
date in the session and pass it. The mcasuro
will ho fair to all parties and strictly non-
partl an In Its effect , and it Is likely that it
will Increase the basis of comrro-isional
representation to 1SO.OUO , which , it is be
lieved , will not raise materially the present
membership of the house , but will of course
necessitate u congressional irorrymandcr in
each state , A now gerrymander for con
gressional purposes is brought about every
ten years , so that there can bo nothing of a
partisan nature charged against the bill.
Superintendent Porter has mot every charge
mudo against him nnd shown it to bo so
absurd and malicious that the wild claims
now being made through the democratic
newspapers will nave no effect on congress
or the country at large.
