This startling comparison ful ly warrants the conclusion that the power of'Congress and the Department 1 has been exercised to force upon the railways, by reducing tbe payments for their services, the burden not only of the effort to eliminate the annual postal deficit but of considerable in creases in other forms of postal ex penditure.

General Grant Total Abatainer. Leaving a borne where temperance prevailed, I, while very etill young, observed that in tbe work) at large many crimes were committed and great sorrow and trouble prevailed among those who overindulged in tbe use of alcoholic drinks. I also found existing a pernicious custom of tbe so- called “ treating” in drinks among all claeees. It was my good fortune to meet with many kind friends of my own age, and many veterans of the Civil War, who had know” me as a boy in the army. All were extremely hos pitable with me, and according to the custom of the Americans, I was cord ially pressed to drink many times a day and felt called upon to return tbe same hospitality. 1 soon decided that I preferred not to drink at all than to partake too freely or more than was beneficial as circumstances seemed to make neces sary. I have, therefore, been a total abstainer for many years past. I can truthfully say that my not drinking has not embarrassed me in CREDIT FOR SULZER VICTORY .Claimed by Mr. Straus For the Pro gressiva State Ticket. At the dinner given at tbe City club In New York city in honor of Gov ernor Elect Sulxer, Oscar S. Straus, who ran for governor on tbe Progres sive ticket, claimed for bis followers credit for Mr. Sulzer's ■ lection. During the recent campaign Mr. Btrans and his associates denied with considerable heat that tbe purpose of the Progressive party in this s tate was to insure the election of the fVinoornt- Ic ticket. Mr. Straus sat at the table with Mr. Sulxer, who paid a high compliment to hitu and express*^! happiness that the recent cam paign did not disturb their friendly relations. In replying to the rem arks of the governor elect Mr. Straus claimed some credit for Mr. Sulzer's election. Said he: “If I had not run and my votes hud gone to Mr. Hedges Mr. Sulxer would not have been elected. I believe that Mr. Sulxer will form ulate many of those planks into effective measures and laws, and l w a n t to say that for - — CANTON’S EXECUTIONER. H* Slice. Off a Head With One Blew ef H it Big Swerd. The public executioner qf Can ton, China, takes pride in his office. He knows nothing of the electric chair, nor the hangman’s noose, nor the guillotine. The criminal con demned to death in the Celestial empire gets short shrift. Frequently he is one of a lot who are led to the place of execution. One of them kneels down, dneking his head well forward. The execu tioner, who is armed with a two handed double edged flat sword, takes his place near him. The weap on is raised, descends, and the con demned man’s h<*ad falls. Then the next steps up for the same summary treatment. A New York man who made a trip around the world met and pho tographed the executioner of Can ton. “I was going about sightseeing in Canton with an Australian friend any way, or cut me off from aisocia- whatever he dues he will 1 m > given-full and a Chinese interpreter, he said. this decrease affected the Post Office Department as it has affected every business undertaking. But the pur chasing power of the railway dollar decreased exactly as that of all other dollars and it was unreasonable and un just that while this change was in progress, the losses which it entailed in the postal service of the Govern ment should be shifted, as it has been shown that they were, to the railways which were, at the same time, suffer ing far greater losses from the same cause.” R a i l r o a d s C o m p e l l e d to G i v e F r e e P a s s e s Free transportation to the extent of ation, it is possible judging from past records that the Progressive Party will nominate a Republican in opposition to him and thus mayhaps give the office to the Democratic party, but we say without hesitation that if the people in charge of the Progressive party are really and truly interested in the af fairs of the Town they will no do such a thing as this at this time.
