Al! the more important otliees now entitled to free delivery will soon re ceive tne advantages of that service. Rural Mail Delivery. On the subject of free rural delivery. Gene.ul Gary says: "In the experimental extension of free delivery to the rural districts some inter esting results have been obtained. This service, c immeneed in October, 1896, has been carried on for a year over selected routes in twenty-nine states under such varying conditions as to give the experi ment the fairest and fullest test. Congress placed s4o,lMl> it the disposal of the de i partment for this purpose In the fiscal j year 1896-97, and provided >50,000 for a con tinuation of the experiment during the present fiscal year. It would be difficult to point to any like expenditure of public money which has been more gem rously appreciated by the people or which has conferred greater benefits in proportion lo the amount expended. "The response from each community' in which rural delivery has been intrudm . d i.s that, rather limn have ft discontinued af ter once experimenting its benefits, most, of tin. people served would will.ugly <!■ fray the I'Ost themselves, either by paying th" salaries of the carriers or by submitting to an increase of postage for rural deliv- •■•|'h" advantages of b.-ing able to ree< iv.- a daily m w.-p.i|- r, so as to keep in tom b with tile new-s of the world ami with ill" condition of the markets which v. gul.it ' th., price of tindr products, ami tn- •n --1 ham-. in- nt of comfort in having the mads I collected ami d-liv-red daily a: their homes instead of having to rid- or walk tn all im-litm m-ies of weather to th. m-ar-st postnffice or railway .station, hate I ap pr-e.ated, and many expression- of grati tude have reach, d the d. p.i- tm-nt from the b.-nelleiaries of tills system.
