The Palladium is in receipt of a letter from the National Rural Letter Carriers' association, setting forth the cost of the rural free delivery system and its advantages to the farmers who are served by it. Should it require 50,000 carriers to deliver the rural mail, their salaries will amount to $30,000,000. It is estimated that 25,000,000 farmers will be served and the cost to the government will be only a little over one dollar per capita. ; The salary of each carrier is .$600 a year and they are asking an increase to $720 for the second year and $S50 for the third and each subsequent year. They ask for this increase in order that they may be able to stay in the service. It is well known that each carrier handles from five to fourteen thousand pieces of mail each month and have to furnish his own horse and wagon. Not only this, but he must travel in all kinds of weather. He is like the soldier in this respect. He is one of Uncle Sam's public servants and ought to be adequately remunerated for his faithful service. The farmer is more vitally interested than any other person. He enjoys almost the same privileges as the resident of the city. In vie,w of this fact, the farmer ought to petition congress to pass the bill that is already introduced for increasing the salary of the rural carrier. "We give below an excerpt from the letter: "The most eloquent argument which we can give in support of the rural carriers' request for an increase in salary so as to enable them to remain in the service, is to point to the recent report of the postmaster general, in which he shows that 2,S79 carriers have resigned. Considering the fact that there were only eight thousand carriers at the beginning and fifteen thousand at the end of the fiscal year you will readily see that the average resignations were nearly twenty-five per cent. There are many carriers who would be willing to make an affidaA'it that they have lost money while in the service and thousands of carriers, after having invested their capital in horses, wagon, harness and other equipment, which has been worn out in the service are only holding on with the hope that congress will come to their relief. It has been suggested that our organization is a powerful one; if it is, what makes it such? Is it not the right and justice of our cause? If we were asking anything unreasonable does any one think that the. farmer would give us his support? The farmers, however, who have been contributing their full share in support of the government and who have never received direct benefits such as free delivery of mails which has been enjoyed by the cities for years, realizes that first-class men can not be retained in the service at the present salary and that if congress should failto give the carriers relief the resignations will likely increase more than fifty per cent., and thus cripple a service which is cherished bv them as one of their greatest blessings."

5 OPPOSITION TO THE CANAL. . There is still opposition, in the south to the Panama canal.' In the senate this opposition is led by Senator Bailey, of Texas, and, says the Louisville Courier Journal, is based on Christian statesmanship. ' In reply the Louisville Herald says : ''The profundity and sincerity of his Christianity is perhaps attested by the acerbity of his assaults on President Roosevelt, but there, are Democrats north and south fully as patriotic as Mr. Bailey, Christians, too, who can not follow the senator in what they consider an unpatriotic and unwise, even if religiously sincere, course." In continuing it refers to Sam Jones and his opinion expressed in his trharacteristic way: ' ! "The Rev. Sam Jones is a representative Southern Christian, fully as much so as the Hon. J. W. Bailey himself. 'Texas, like all' the southern states, wants the canal,' says the Rev. Mr. Jones, 'and if the Democrats want to act the fool again let them make that an issue in the coming campaign, then I can beat them with a Republican yaller dog. ' " We hardly think the Democrats will make an issue of the Panama canal in the next campaign. They were opposed to th liberation of Cuba until the Maine was blown up. They opposed the purchase of the Philippines, and have criticised Republican policies in these islands ever since. In spite of this opposition the good work went right on. Cuba has been liberated and is self-governing, and Puerto Rico belongs to the United States. The Philippines have come under our government and our civilization and we can point to their progress with just pride and satisfaction. The encouragement of capitalists to locate industries in Richmond is now "un to" our citizens. We cannot afford to give up any factories that we already have nor can we afford to bar any that want to come in. The Commercial club will be expected to do the very best thing for Richmond, and the Palladium feels assured that the citizens will not be disappointed in the work of their commercial club. nr--We call special attention to the fourth number in the popular lecture Course. This lecture was to have been on Friday evening, the 29th inst., but Dr. Willett could not come on that date. Instead he will be here tomorrow night and will give his lecture in the East Main Street Friends' church. We do not know what his subject will be, but what he sa3rs on any subject will be worth hearing.

One of the large city dailies, in speaking of the President, or rather in criticising the President, calls him Theodore Roosevelt. It reminds one of the time when Mr. Bryan spoke at Crawfoi-dsville, and, in referring to General Wallace, called him Lew Wallace.

At the home of the bride occurred the marriage of Miss Cora B. Burr., daughter of Ed Burr, of the Register, to Mr. Fred Clifford, both of Dublin. Rev. Swanders of Friends' church officiated. The many friends of these worthy young people join in wishing them a happy journey through' life. Congratulations. Mr. John H. Cullom, Editor of the Garland, Texas, News, has written a letter, of congratulations to the manufacturers of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as follows : ' ' Sixteen years ago when our first child was a baby he was subject to croupy spells and we would be very uneasy about him. We began using Chamberalin 's Cough Remedy in 1SS7, and finding it such a reliable remedy for colds and croup, we have never been without it in the house since that time. We have five children and have given it to all of them with good results. One good feature of this remedy is that it is not disagreeable to take and our babies really like it. Another is that it is not dangerous, and there is no risk from giving an overdose. I congratulate you upon the success of your remedy." For sale by A. G. Luken & Co., and W. H. Sudhoff, fifth and Main.
