FREELAND, SEPTEMBER 25, 1890.
A GLORIOUS opportunity is presented
to the Democrats of tbis State. Let
them stand firm to tbe principles of
the platform enunciated at Scranton
and vote as a unit, and victory will
crown their offorta.
THE grand issue between tbe two
parties is the market. "Give us the
whole world to trade with," cry the
Democrats. "Let us shut the whole
world out and chew each other up,"
answer the Republicans.— ffeic York
Herald.
A FEW industries employing adult
labor is what is needed in Freeland.
We do not see why the monied men of j
town don't get together and induce I
manufactures to locate their plants j
here. The increased value on their
own property would almost pay them
for their investment.
PROCRASTINATION is the thief of time.
Do not put off paying your taxes.
To enable you to vote at tho next
election, it is necessary to show that
you have paid within two years of
that date a State or county tax, which
shall have been assessed two months
before election. If you have not paid
such tax since October 4, 1888, then
you should do so before October 4,
1890. _
IT may be that a majority of the
people in the United States will prefer
to be poor dogs and scratch and dig
and die in poverty and in dirt, rather
than forsake the old partisan sinners
who now lead and blind them. If the
people desire hard times, hard work
and an increasing indebtedness all
they have to do is to vote the old
party ticket until they get as poor
and find times as hard as they de
sire.
DCRINO the last thirty years the
Democratic party of Pennsylvania lias
never entered upon a political cam
paign for important State officers
with such promising prospects of sue
cess as in this contest which opened
nt Scranton with the nomination of
ex-Governor Pattison, and we have
never witnessed such nn apparently
studied effort to turn a seemingly as
sured victory into defeat as that which
has characterized the management of
the Democratic campaign in Pennsyl
vania up to this hour.
WE observe that no reputable Re
publican newspaper has undertaken to
defend Delamater from the accusation
made against him of incurring the
penalty of disqualification from hold
ing office in Pennsylvania by sitting
as a member of the State Legislature
and at tho same time banking on de
posits of State money. There is no
defense. Delamater pleads guilty.
But must the organs keep silent while
the good fame and reputation of the
Grand Old Party is thus dragged
through tho mire!— Phi/a. Jlecori/.
THE Ponton TVo/is cr!pt prints a
series of interviews with business
men upon the subject of the proposed
doubling of duty on tin plate. With
out exception they all condemn it, and
some of them, though Republicans,
Lave resolved in consequence to throw
off the yoke of party and vote here
after as interest dictates. Tho pro
tests of business men in all parts of
the country have been ineffective to
prevent Congress from legislating
against the interest of the whole peo
ple in order to put money in the
pockets of two or three firms of
manufacturers. The only way to
check such outrageous abuse of the
taxing power is to keep out of Con
gress representatives wbo are capable
of such faithless disregard of the
public interest.
THE action taken by the committees
of the T. A. B. Societies of St. Ann's
parish, in regard to the celebrating of
Father Matthew's birthday, is one
that every fair minded citizen should
appreciate. For years past vast sums
of money have been spent in going tc
and from the general parade, which
in some instances, were held 40 am
50 miles away, and only the railroat
companies reaped any benefit by it.
The cost to each member of the or
ganization was never less than ts.o(]
to SO.OO each, not counting the risk
incurred by traveling. That a proper
celobration can be had at home with
less expense and be productive of
more good to the cause in which those
men are engaged in we have not the
least doubt. By having the parade
at home each member can be at home
in reasonable time to attend his em
ployment the next day, and what he
spends he will have the satisfaction
that it will revert to the home mer
chant and not to men who have no
sympathy for him or the cause of
total abstinance. Let there be en
couragement given to this new de
parture in the total abstinence cause
and better results are sure to follow.
Pleasing Outlook In the Coal Trade.
Everything indicates a renewal of good
times for the miner, and the outlook for
great activity in the coal trade, seems
more limn sanguine. Open winters and
a dropping off in consumption, made a
light demand and a moderate supply, so
that dealers who had loaded up heavily
two seasons past, saw no necessity for
purchase, relying upon the quantity on
hand in their yards to carry them
through.
This has made the coal trade dull and j
put the miner 011 short time and small
earnings, but a strange fact, this misfor
tune to the coal miner has benefitted all
of the other workingmen of the country,
as they saved large sums for the last two
winters that should have otherwise gone
for fuel.
The signs for an old fashioned cold
winter are strongly marked, and every
thing points to a very general revival of
the coal trade.
Relying upon the probability of easy
prices, the dealers have been in no hurry
to replenish their stocks, and the ordi
nary sales to consumers have gradually
depleted the quantity on hand, and now
they have awaked to the fact that they
must purchase, and that at once.
The action of the sales agents in ad
hering to their list prices has made a
strong market, and stiffened the general
tone of the trade, and "restored confid
ence to both buyer and seller.
The building of new breakers and
sinking of new shafts in the different
regions, prove, by the investment of a
very large amount of capital, that those
who possess the best opportunity of
judging and knowing, are prepared for
one of the most prosperous seasons that
the coal trade has known or enjoyed for
very many years.
CorrcNpiiiKlenco From the Capitol.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23, 1800. I
The great advantages to be derived by 1
the ordinary visitor to Washington in I
the way of social enjoyment will continue :
to attract to this city thousands of guests \
who come on pleasure bent, but the at
tractions offered to the student far out- j
weigh the social enjoyment of the pleas
ure seeker. Washington is not inaptly
named "The University City," and as a
seat of learning destined to become
' widely known. Already the numerous j
universities together with the proposed |
National University, a hill for the es- j
tahlishment of which has been offered
in Congress, and, if carried out, will
offer such attractions to the students of
the country as will render this city the
Mecca towards which all who desire to
avail themselves of the ad vantages these
great educational establishments offer
will turn their steps. In addition to its
universities, the Smithsonian Institution,
the National Museum, the Medical Muse
um, the Agricultural Department, with its
wonderful display of all of nature's
products, reproduced with such skill and
artistic excellence, as the rival the ad
vantages to he derived from such medi
ums of knowledge, nature herself must
render Washington the resort of the
students of the world. Each and every
department of the Government present
subjects in every branch of national
life which can he studied witli advant
age. To these attract ions are to be added
the great National Library, which, after
many years of preparation, is advancing
towards completion, when the vast ac
cumulations, which have overflowed all
the space that can be allotted to it in the
Capitol, will find ample accommodations
and provision for its growth for the next
half dozen centuries.
The current statements that Washing
ton is a great consumer of horseflesh do
not strike the over-fastidious Washing
tonian as a very welcome piece of in
telligence. Hut in Washington the con
sumption is not carried on as it is in
France, and the reader need not become
alarmed at the suggestion. The fact
remains, however, that every year hun
dreds of horses are brought to this city,
used a short time, and dispatched no
one knows whither. There is one fash
ionable stable in town which hires teams
to wealthy public men at prices as high
as SSOO per month. This is rather an
expensive mode of location, but there
are some Congressmen who can afford it
and are willing to pay that much for the
pleasure of having a team which they
can calf their own. Most of the Repre
sentatives, though, do not higher teams
at SSOO per month, or even half of it. ,
There is a large portion of our law
makers who are content to have a cabby I
in waiting for them at their residences
after breakfast and at the Capitol in the
afternoon at adjournment hour. This j
costs them from fifty cents to one dollar !
a day. There are other Congressmen,
and this is probably the largest class, !
whose horses do not cost them more
than ten cents a day. These statesmen |
hire their horses on the communistic j
plan, sharing the expense with many |
other citizens. The horses thus hired
are driven in front of street-ears. Horse
back riding always revives with the com
ing of fall. Every year the number of
devotees in the ranks of Vanity Fair;
and the political world in Washington
becomes greater. The season for riding
begins generally about the middle of ;
September, and after that until winter j
the country roads which skirt the Capitol
will be gay with equestrian parties.
It begins to look as if the bronze
counterpane of Lafayette and his
statuesque attendants would find a rest
place at last. Ever since their rather
inglorious arrival in the city, so unlike
the arrivals of the eminent marquis
himself in this country, the bronze parts
have remained in their original packages,
stored away somewhere around the
Senate stables. At length, however, the
commission having in charge the selec- j
tion of a site have fixed their minds up
on one that they think is in every way
satisfactory. The chosen site is the plot
of ground at the southeast corner of the
Treasury building, on u line with Penn
sylvania avenue and commanding a
splendid sweep of view.

l*Oßt Office ItegulatioiiH.
I The post office authorities at Washing
ton, D. G\, have issued a circular to
every ]>ost office in the United States, in
which it asks the co-operation of all the
local papers in disseminating a knowledge
of its contents. The TRIBUNE gladly
avails itself of this opportunity, and
lays before its readers this week some of
the most important articles contained
therein :
Over six million pieces of mail matter are sent
annually the Dead .Letter OlHcc by reason of
Incorrect, illegible, or deficient, address, insuffi
cient post aye, insecure inelosi ng, whereby
matter mailed becomes separated from the
envelope or wrapper, or the failure to be called
for or delivered to the person addressed. This
is a daily average of oxer twenty thousand
pieces.
Of these the greater portion either are not
culled for at the post ollleo to which they are
directed, or, in ease of free-delivery offices, the
addressees cannot be found, notwithstanding j
every known means is resorted to on the part j
of the postal olficiuls to effect delivery.
Matter sent to the Dead Letter Office, which
cannot be delivered to the one addressed, is re- j
quired to be opened in its treatment for the 1
purpose of return to the sender, and if the
mime and address of the sender be not shown !
or cannot be ascertained from the contents, 1
and it contains no valuable inclosure, it must I
be destroyed.
Lett ere opened and found to contain any in- |
closure ol obvious value are entered upon
proper records, and, of such, those which do
not disclose sufficient information to enable
them to be returned are tiled, subject to
reclamation upon proper application and identi- i
Mention.
Letters which contain no inclosure of obvious ,
value are not recorded.
Packages and parcels are recorded, and
where they do not disclosure the name and ad
dress of the owner are filed; if not called for or
claimed within two years they are disposed ot
at public auction and the proceeds covered into
the l T nlted BtatesTreasury.
A large proportion ol the packages and par
cels sent to the I)ead Letter Office fail to be
restored to the owners bccuuse of the absence
on the wrappers or iuclosurcs of anything to
indicate ownership thereof.
Information us to the character and nature of
the matter thus received at the Dead Letter j
office, and the conditions and influences which
occasion its failuc to reach the persons to whom
the senders designed it to go may be of interest, t
and the mere statement of it carry with it sug
gestions which may serve the public in its exer
cise of postal privileges.
Misdirection, incorrect, illegible, and deficient j
address are given as leading causes which oe- '
casion the failure of mail matter to reach its '
proper destination, and affect alike that which
is so addressed to either city, town, or village.
In addition to those, in the case of mutter 1
mailed to cities or free-delivery offices, are the
failure to Kive street or number, business or
occupation, or some designated place of de
livery of the person addressed; inability to
find transient people, and their neglect to give
forwarding orders for their mail; the neglect of
permanent or temporary residents to notify
the carriers or post office of change of place
for the delivery of their matter upon moving
from one part of the city to another, together
with the failure of newcomers to furnish the
post office with their names and places ot mi
dress. It is to these causes, with others of ,
more or less consequence, that the non-delivery
of mail matter is, in the main, attributable,
and tliev are conditions over which the postal
service "has no control, and may alone be j
remedied by the people themselves.
The following suggestions, if observed, will
aid the dispatch and delivery of mutter sent
through the mails, or its return directly to the
sender in the event of non-delivery, and thus
prevent the annoyance, delay, and embarrass
ment caused by seuding matter in the Dead
Letter Office.
Mail matter should he plainly and correctly
addressed, the name Of the post office to which
it is to be sent should be clearly and distinctly
stated, and to avoid confusion from the simi
larity of abbreviations, as frequently used, the
I name of tho State should also lie given in full.
! In case of mail uddres-ed to small offices, or
where there are like names in different States,
I the name of the county should lie added.
As the immense quantity of matter sent
through the mails is necessarily required to be
1 bundled rapidly by the railway clerks and at.
the post offices in the cities, too much care can
not he exercised in addressing mail matter
clearly, plainly and correctly.
Where mail matter is addressed to cities or
free-delivery offices the street and house num
ber, or post-office box number of the person
addressed are important, and should always be
given when it is possible to do so.
Where this cannot be done, the business or
employment of the person uddrcssed. If stated,
will often secure delivery.
The free-delivery offices, being in the circs
and larger towns—the trade centers of the
country—have a large, varying, transient popu
lation, which cannot be known to the post
office officials in the same degree as in the
smaller places, and delivery is, therefore, made
the more difficult; and where recourse must lie
had to city directories they are often found im
perfect and incomplete, so that the means of
ascertaining the location of the addressee
frequently is found wanting, and delivery fails
because the person is not known or cannot be
found.
A small proportion only of the mail received
at the free-delivery offices is called for at the
general delivery of the post office, the public
expecting delivery by the letter carriers; and
hence the importance of giving street and
number, or some other designation whereby
the person addressed may lie found.
Matter mailed to cities and free-delivery of
fices, addressed without street and number, or
some other designation enabling delivery, goes
into the general delivery, subject to be called
for; and of such matter, tho statistics of the
post offices of some of the larger cities show
that not more than £ r > per cent, is called for.
Letters addressed to persons temporarily so
journing in a city where the letter-carrier sys
tem is in operation should be marked "Tran
sient" or '•(icncrul Delivery," if not addressed
to a street and number, or some other design
ated place of delivery.
The name and address of the sender, either
printed or written, should be iiluced upon tlie
upper left-hand corner of the envelope or
wrapper of all matter mailed.
This will secure its immediate return to the
sender from the mailing office for correction
if improperly addressed, insufficiently paid, or
otherwise defective; thus affording opportunity
to comply with the postal regulations and re
quirements, and place the matter in proper
condition to entitle it to all the privileges of
tiie mails, and is especially useful m tin* case of
packages and other matter mailable at less
than letter rate id postage, whieh is restrieted
to certain conditions and requirements as to
weight, size, manner of inelosure, etc.
Letters and all other mutter mailed, so mark
ed with the name and address of the sender,
| that should fail to be called or delivered to the
pei-son addressed, and upon which full letter
rates of postage hus been paid are not sent to
, the Dead Letter Office, but are returnable to
the sender directly without additional charge,
and with the reason of non-delivery indorsed
; thereon.
The above suggestions in rei>eet to the return
of unclaimed and undelivered mail matter
dlreetly to the sender from the post office ad
dressed, refers only to letters and other mail
matter upon which full letter postage lias been
paid.
Packages and all matter mailed at less than
letter rates of postage, should, in addition to
the name and address of tho sender upon the i
envelope or wrapper, bear in connection there
with a request for its return in the event of
non-delivery, in whieh ease it is also returnable
directly to the sender from the post office
addressed, charged with return postage at the
rate required for the class of matter to which i
it belongs.
Tho distinction, under the postal regulations,
as regards the return of unclaimed and unde
livered matter is, that letters and other matter
(•repaid at full letter rates are returnable tree,
whereas mutter mailable at less than letter ;
postage requires the payment of return postage. 1
It it be borne in mind that only such un
claimed and undelivered letters and other mat
ter prepaid at full letter rates of postage as do
not bear the name and address of the sender,
and such other matter mailed at loss than letter
rates of postage as does not bear a request ba
its return, is required to lie sent to the Dead
Letter <Mice, tin- importance of the suggestions
in respect to placing the name and address of j
the sender, etc., on all matter muilcd, is ap- :
parent.
All mutter mailable at less than letter rates of j
postage must be so wrapped or inclosed that it
can lie readily examined at the office of de- !
livery, as well as at the mailing office, without ,
destroying the wrapper, otherwise it is subject '
to letter postage.
Much of the package and parcel matter re
ceived at the Dead Letter Office is that whieh
has been deposited for untiling sealed and :
closed against inspection and prepaid ut less ,
than letter rate; being iinmailuole in such I
condition, and the name and address of tho i
sender not appearing upon the cover, whereby •
it might lie returned for correction and proper I
compliance with postal conditions, it necessarily I
is sent to the Demi Letter < Mice.
A large proportion of the packages sent to,
tho Dead Letter Office are addressed to foreign
countries.
In addition to being scaled or closed against
insimetion and detleiont in postage, many of
tlieiu contain articles that are uimiailalile
through the post because of customs regulu
i tioiisuud conditions of the countries to which
they are addressed, or exceed the limit of size
ami weight.
in suen eases, if the name and address of the
I sender does not appear, the parties addressed
uro notified flint the | me knife will he forwarded
j hy express at their expense, or returned to the
I sender if tin y will furnish the proper address
in this country.
I 11 ith no knowledge of the value of the pack
age or by whom mailed, the addressee often de
clines to direct It to he forwarded and pay tin;
charges; and the sender being unknown to the
Dead Letter (mice, it eventually takes the
course provided for other unclaimed matter ed
its class.
In mailing packages addressed to foreign
: countries, cure should lie taken to aseertain
! whether they are prohibited from transmission
I to the country ol destination, or ean only he
i forwarded when the postage is fully prepaid at
To reign letter rates--/) cents per half ounce.
I .. . "I) trade samples are transiniss-
I lole at reduced cute* of postage.
Persons desiring to mail mattcf pther than
letters to foreign countries should consult their
post in asters, who, being provided with the pos
tal laws and regulations, are enabled to give
proper information respecting eoiidit i< ms., etc.,
etc.. of mailing to foreign countries.
All valuable matter to be sent by mail should
be registered. It will thus receive such protec
tion as it is always possible to give to matter
sent in the ordinary mails. Money should be
sent by money order or registered letter.
Proprietors of hotels should omit the return
request from envelopes supplied gratuitously
to their guests; uud guests using envelopes
furnished by hotels, should be careful to de
signate what disposal should lie made of letters
sent by them in ease of non-delivery.
On mail matter to foreign countries, es
pecially Canada and England, in which many
post offices huvo the same name as offices in the
United States, the name of the country, as well
as the post offices should be given in full.
In sending packages and parcels—books,
pamphlets, and other articles—by mail, the ad
dress should be placed on the article inclosed
as well as on the wrapper.
Should the wrappers become detached, as
they frequently do, through the h nailing in
cident to mail transportation l>y sea or land, it
may still be possible to restore the article if
this precaution is taken.
While the efficiency of the postal system and
service has attained high standard, the public
may materially aid in the fuller and more com
plete delivery of its mail matter, or the prompt
return of the same to the sender in eases where
delivery from any cause cannot be effected, if
the foregoing suggestions are conformed to.
