WONDERFUL POSTAL GROWTH.
In 1896 the total revenues of the
post-office department were loss than
$83,000,000. 'l‘heir estimator] amount
for the current fiscal year is $144,-
000,000. of which twenty millions, or
nearly one-seventh of the whole is de-
voted to the rural free delivery sys-
tem under which 12,500,000 people.
living in country or st-miurbnn dis-
tricts have their mail brought daily
to their doors.
it goes without saying that this
unprecedented oxpnns‘ n of the nerv-
icc brings with it increased dangers
of fraud and extravagance. The rcv-
ciattons In the scandals which have
been the basis of indictments and
criminal prosecutions afford conclu.
sivc evidence of this. The statement
has been given out that President
Roosevelt proposes not only to con-
tinue the investigation which has
proved so fruitful, but that he is ‘de-
termined to hold inspectors and other
subordinates to a stricter responsibil-
ity in order to minimize the chances
of fresh jobbery. This is a plain
duty. and it should be rigorously per-
formed.
DIAZ ANDI MEXICAN RAILWAYS.
Disz saw in each locomotive a pow-
erful engine of war—~it could draw
troops to where they were needed; it
embodied foreign interests in the in-
ternal affairs of Mexico. As a boy of
seventeen ho had fought the Ameri-
cans when they hnd come to seize
Texas. He would make use of them
now in his splendid design for nation-
allzing his distracted country. He had
won his place with the sword: he
would make it secure with foreign
gold. The United States was a repub-
lic and he had nothing to fear in its
interest and contiguity. He would
turn the fierce spirit of his country-
,men away from politics. from the
bloody struggles for office. to the siren-
uous pursuit of wealth—he would
make them eager for money, for the
comforts and luxuries of civilization.
He has succeeded.
Three hundred and fifty millions
of American dollars are invested in‘
the railways of this republic. Will any
_ revolutionist in the future dare to put
in jeopardy that great investment?
Dias asked Americans to conic. and
they came. They built three railways
from the Texas frontier into the very
heart of Mexico—Boston Transcript.
