THE  DELAY  OF  CHEAP  POSTAGE. 
It  looks  very  inuoli  as  if  the  .Senate  meant  to 
defeat  Iho  will  of  the  people  In  the  matter  of 
Cheap  Poslajte.  The  House  of  Itopresenmilves 
nearly  a  month  ago  paa.spd  IJie  hill  restoring  tljt? 
rates  on  all  thlrd-elass  matter.  Theldll  went  lo 
the  Senate  but,  lii.slead  or  passing  U  promptly,  as 
It  should,  some  senator  movnl  its  relereiiee  to  t  he 
Coinmiltcp  on  J’osi-Oiiiees.  semipir  Hamlin  of 
Maine,  who  Is  responhlble  lor  the  original  legisla¬ 
tion  In  hehaJt  of  the  Express  Companies,  Is  i  halr- 
man  of  this  Coininlttee,  and  since  the  hill  passed 
Into  Ills  liaiida  not  a  word  has  hceu  beard  fmm  It. 
The  trouhle  Is  that  theSeniii.eisonly  vi-ry  slightly 
ameiiahle  In  the  popular  will,  and  I  his  Is  one  of 
the  weak  spots  In  our  Federal  Constllulloii.  Sen¬ 
ators  are  elwled  by  State  l.cgislaiiires  and  for 
terms  of  sl.x  years.  Senator  Hamlin's  term  does 
not  expire  till  the  fourlli  of  Mareli,  issi,  and  what 
does  lie  care  in  the  meantime  what  the  people  of 
the  eountxy  waul  7  Friends  of  Cheap  Postage  In 
the  several  Slates  should  wril.c.  promptly  to  their 
Semiwrs,  asking  immediate  action  on  the  hill,  and 
possibly  this  may  have  some  elTecl.  The  danger 
is  that  I  he  Senate  Post-onice  Corairdttee  t\1ll  patch 
up  the  House  bill  so  lus  to  eoneede  all  that  the  Ex- 
pre.sa  monopollsl.sde.slre;  but  after  tbe  deelslve 
and  urianimoiis  action  or  tbe  impular  branch  of 
Oongi'iiss  in  re-CRtabllshlng  the  old  rates,  we  hope 
that  It  will  sllek  to  its  posUlon,  even  though  11  In¬ 
volves  a  conflict  with  the  Senate  and  the  Kxjiress 
Coinpa  rib’s  comhlnod. 
'J'he  mo.st  impudent  of  all  suggestions  Is  that  the 
Posl-onico  liepartment  shall  he  allowed,  a.s  a  •*  dls- 
Intere-sied"  (?)  party,  to  tinker  the  measure,  and 
that  Its  decision  of  what  the  bill  sliould  be  shall 
be  aeeepted  by  both  rvie  Senate  and  the  House. 
We  believe  ibal  then:  used  to  be  a  provision  ol 
the  Inlted  States  Conslilullon  giving  the  law- 
making  power  exclustvi’ly  to  the  two  houses  ol 
Congress,  it  is  a  very  interesling  (|ueatlon  wheth¬ 
er  the  ••third  house,"  unknoMii  in  the  Constitu¬ 
tion,  will  dare  to  thus  openly  snporsede  the  direct 
representatives  ol  the  people.  On  this  point  mem¬ 
bers  ol  Congru.ss  cleeu-d  directly  by  and  responsi¬ 
ble  to  the  people,  should  make  a  iwsltlve  stand. 
It  may  prove  that  on  lhl.s  question  of  cheap  iiost- 
age  which  is  almost  universally'  demanded  by  the 
people,  will  binge  the  yet  more  important  ques¬ 
tion  ol  the  duty'  ot  the  Government  to  prompU.V' 
respond  to  the  popular  will.  Certainly  In  monar¬ 
chical  England  even,  such  a  demand  as  now  arises  i 
lor  a  restoration  ol  ehcaj)  postage  could  not  re-  ' 
main  unheeded.  Any  administration  denying  or  | 
Ignoring  It  would  go  out  of  power  in  less  than  a  i 
month.  !
