THE DEFICIT.
Fostoffice department report shows
a deficit for the last year of over $10.
00.000. This Is due to exorbitant
rates paid to railroads, to gratt am
dishonesty in the weighing by which
the amount on which the railroad is
paid Is determined; and to improper
and dumb classification (so Improper
that the Canadian postoffice depart-
Kent refuses further free exchange)
Those are the real causes of the do
Scit but the high-mucky-nnieks will
elaborately explain It is due to car
rying the poor little country weeklies
at 1 cent a pound and to rural free
delivery.
The Canadian department carries
ewspapers at from U to M cent a
pound, gives free rural delivery, and
sever has a deficit.
Maybe the fancy poultry breeders
are responsible for the exorbitant
price of eggs. When the old brown
hen was permitted to go about he
business without any pedigree tied to
her she managed to furnish the world
with egg", but now that we have print

society the fowl that does not come

eggs eough to make a decent pump

MULINO MUSINGS.
Fulton's Successor.
From tho Woodburn Independent.
After the legislature, L Ren can
start his Referendum machine and get
more solid with the people. He has
made two or three mistakes in his po
litical life in this state, one being his
prominent participation in the legis
lative holdup, but as Bourne, who was
also in the holdup game, received a
plurality of the Republican votes last
June, it stands to reason that the peo
ple have forgiven if they have not for
gotten. Another error was omitting
the enacting clause from the Initia
tive Anti-Pass bill, but he can remedy
this in 1S0S through the Initiative If
the legislature fails to act properly.

ing ground and will probably succeed
