TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 27. 1894.
The Chinese deny that Port Arthur
lias lieen token by the Japanese. They
will probably be ready to admit it by the
time I'ekiu is part of the spoils of war in
japan's museum.
If all the pluns ot the Rep. Pop cxmhi
uation for undoing the government oi
this State are carried out its own mother
would not recoguii? it. Tbey are eagtr
to get at the work of ripping the Old
North State up the back. Ah! if only
they had discretion and wisulom in com
parison to their ?al!
Twenty thousand dollars would pet-
laps have provided Marion with water
nmtka: the interest on twice that sum
would have Ixeri a trifling burden com
pared with that which the town must
now bear. There must be some propoi
tiou ot those burned out Sunday who
will never et on their feet again, and it
may be that there is some suffering in
the community and that it needs help.
If so, Aahevillc ought to be the first to
proffer assistance.
When we wrote of the pole uuisurue
yesterduy the report of the Mayor on
that sul ject was not at hand. It is
gratifying to see that the matter is under
serious consideration. The report esti
mates thut there are 300 poles in the city
of no use to unyonc and a disfigurement
besides. It is to be hoped the law is
such that the titv Attorney will see his
way clear to advising the Board thut
the owners ol the poles can have 30 days
in v liich to take them away, and that,
if not removed, tbev will be cut down.
1 1 is always interesting to have n high
official of the United States government
among us, to take his weight, to dis
cover his claims to greatness, to sec il he
is what the world nt large has thought
hi- was The fierce light th it beats
around the throne is supposed to betray
every weakness, every indiscretion. It
is comparatively a mild 1 ght in which
the Vice President of the Uuitcd States
sits, hut it il easy to see by it that the
present occupant, as he goes to and Iro
in Ashcvillc, is a solid citizen of the Re
public, a man of sense, without Inlsc
ideas of dignity, with no fl jinncrv about
him; a plain man of the people, icady to
go up higher il the people call: ceju illy
ready to go back to the plow cf
Cincinnatugor the McCormick reaper
and biuder of Illinois. Under the ciicun,
stancct of his visit at this time, Mr.
Stevenson was certain of the heartfelt
sympathy of all of us. He and Mrs.
Stevenson may be assured, also, that
whatever their hopes in the ptrfcut hour
ot tri.il they are keenly shared by the en
tire community, with prayers like unto
thcits, and with a profound wish tint
they may avail to save.
I'OSTMASTEK GKNEHAIS KKl'Olfl .
1'ost m.-i ster Uisscll has just made his
i.nnunl icport. We seldom look for aiiA -thing
very exciting from these messages
of the cabinet officers; they are generally
old straw too long thrashed over. But
Mr. tlissell is original, vigorous ami in
teresting ia h's report. The most im
portant topic is tieated under the ex
planatory caption: "Abuses connected
with second class matters." Mr. llissc 1
states without reserve that advertisers,
book publishers and other have takm ,
advantage of the broad construction ol
what constitute" matter of the sicoi d (
class by sending out theiradvertisements'
and publication under the technical dis- j
iiuisc of newsparjers and periodicals, and
i..p- , , . ,
have thus secured the lieneBt ol the ,
lower rate ot postage. He fan discovered
t nil the nlniM has crown so treat that I
it now cosis the Bovernmeot eight times
ns nnnli to enrry econd class nmtter, us
the revenue derived from it. Part of this
second cluas matter is thus referred to
by tl.e Posmu'ster General:
"' The most conspicuous class of these
pretended periodicals are whit are now
generally known as serial paper covered
books. They are in no sente serial, how
ever, xeept !u name, being usually given
some such general designation ns I he
I;ireiric Seric-,' the "Detective Library'
or some other title of like character.
They are nothing but books, pure und
siriiple, and manv of them very tranliy
at that. crcIi one diittinct in itself, the
Re'ries' r.eer being devoted to anything
in particular, having few subscrihers,
mid evith no real sub.rip'i.in pnee, ex
cept a nominal one, for not one man in
i hundred ever drtums of tiuving the
bunks except as he would buy any other
b ink."
The l'ostm inter G urrnl will be, doing
the public a great service it he cm, under
tlir present law or u iK'-v one made foi
that purpose, retire this cluta of publi
cations from the benefits ol the rcond
class rate. Thry come fairly under the
head of pernicious literature, and tire
bought ulmost wholly by boys on whom
tliey rantiot but have a bad influence.
Mr. Hissed adds:
"If it be the policy of the Congress to
continue the privilege on Second class
rated to benevolent or fraternal iocieties
then tbe remedy I would suggest would
be u n Amendment to the law, limiting
tin rate to them and to legitimate
newspapers and legitimate periodical
magazines. 1 tclieve that one year's ex
perience nnder such limitations, with the
frauds and abuse checked, would dem
onstrate that we have already reached
the time and condition when all such
legitimate newspaper and periodical
muguxini s may be transmitted through
onr mail from publisher Into the bauds
ol subscriber tree of all costs."
We do not tee, however, wby "legiti
mate newspapers and periodical maga
lines" should not pay their way. It
tbey were sent free there would be but
few instances where the public would
have the btne6U ol the redaction; the
publisher would reap the advantage.
Mr. Bissell's recommendation in this par
ticular it, however, In tbe right direc
tion. A BABY BOY STOLEN.
