m t POSTAL DLIICIT.
The post office d e p a r t m e n t
shows a deficit o f $15,000,(XX) for
the year now closing and Mr.
Edwin C. Madden, the wondrous
wise Third Assistant Postmaster
General, wants to stop the defi
cit by increasing the rate on
second-class mail matter, which
includes newspapers and maga
zines. Madden has been worried
for years about the cheap rate of
that class o f postage and has
been doing his best to increase
the cost o f current reading mat
ter to the general public. He
does not say a word about the
big graft in his department that
is caused by the 1 ranking privi
lege which is enjoyed by con
gressmen. The g o v e r n m e n t
transmits thousands o f tons of
mail every year for these gentle
men absolutely free.
Neither
does he apparently give a thought
to the excessive rates paid the
railroad companies for carrying
the mails, which everybody else
knows is nothing short o f an
absolute steal. At stated periods
the mails carried on every rail
road train in the country are
weighed daily for thirty con
secutive days and from this basis
the compensation for the railroad
companies is figured for the next
four years. During this period
is when Mr. Congressman gets
in some good work for his favor-
ite transportation company with
his little franking privilege. '1 he
mails are systematically padded
during this time with hundreds
o f tons o f worthless truck o f all
descriptions, it even being of
record that bricks, scrap iron,
etc. are sent through the mails
in order to bolster up a showing
o f false tonnage that the rail
roads may draw pay for work
they do not perform for another
four years. Madden winks the
other eye at those practices and
then prates o f the wrongs the
government suffers because o f
the low second-class rate. Mad
den should have a brass collar
with a big identification tag so
that his masters, the r a i 1 r o a d
magnates, may not lose him.
They could ill afford to spare him
from their service.

W hat’ s the use in fcelin' gloomy an’

When the rain is peltin’ down around
the door?
Clouds may hang a leetle lower, hut
all trouble has an end.
A n’ the blessed sun is goin’ to shine

A-frow nin’ and a-growlin’ never made
a harvest big,
A n’ a-feelin’ blue won’ t fill the pump
kin vine;
An' the cheerful chap as whistles most
will reap a bigger crop
Than the feller who can only sit an’
whine.
It takes a heap o f heartfulness to hum
a lively tune
When the rain is peltin’ down around
the door,
Providin’ it’s in Fall-time (the rain is
good in June),
A n ’ you haven’ t got the crops in on
the floor;
But the Lord ain’ t helpin’ him that
doesn’ t help himself,
An' a faint heart never paid a mort
gage, shore!
So you've got to keep a-singin’ just to
scare the devil ofT

I reckon all the singin' that a man
could ever do
When the rain is peltin’ down around
the door,
Wouldn't churn a pound o f butter if he
didn’ t use his hands.
But it makes the butter sweeter,
certain shore.
Did you ever see a bee 'at wasn’ t hum-
mi n while it worked,
A -gettin’ in its goodly Winter store?
They hum and hive and hoard their
wealth for idle days to come,
When the rain is peltin' down around
the door.
