POSTAL I. CHANGES.
The New One-Cent Cards.

The new postal bill, which be-
came a law just before Congress
edjourned, makes some changes in
existing postal regulations which
are of general interest The most
important is the authorization of
one-cent postal cards for CORES
pondence, or for printed circulars,
similar to those which were intro
duced in Great Britain nearly two
years ago, and which are now in
use in nearly all European coun-
tries. The House provided in the
bill for cards with a paper flap to
conceal the writing; the Senate
changed this TO an open card. In
the conference committee the style
of the card was left to the discre-
ton of the Postmaster General,
who prefers the open card and viii
order that kind only to be manu-
featured. The face of the card
will bear q one-eent stamp, and
will be provided with lines for the
address, and the back part viii be
ruled for a letter. The price OF
the card and stamp will be only
one cent. 1t will probably be
three or four weeks before any
will be ready for sale, as plates for
printing have yet to be prepared.
The postage on circulars, newspa-
pers, and other transient printed
matter, which under the old Law
was two cents for every four
ounces or less, is now one cent foI
every two ounces or less. Small
circulars, which formerly cost two
cents to mail, can now be sent for
one cent-an important reduction
to business men who use the maili

BEECHER ON SUMNER.

For more than three years a
monster has been sitting in the
Presidential chair at Washington
There are no lights to his eharac-
ter. tits all black as night-with-
out star! Since the old Roman
monster-heroes, it will be difficult
to find n creature SO entirely made
up of faults, so utterly devoid of
excellencies. This is General
Grant as Mr.. Sumner has painted
him! Paragraph after Paragraph,
column after, column, page after
page, the rehearsal of evil goes on,
without an alienation, without a
single light to the human noun
tain Of darkness, until we inyol-
UNFAIRLY cry out, "Why does Prov
idence permit such miscreant to
liye?'
Soberly, Mr.. Sumner has proved
neither n wise rhetorician nor
skillful special pleader. He has
oyercharged his picture. Men
will not believe that the silent
man OF the White House is an in
carnatc fiend. That this Grafton
will produce a certain effect upon
natures already surcharged with
violent feeling; that, as a campaign
document, it will have considerable
weight, is probable. But we think
1t has so overstepped the bounds
OF moderation that the fair-minded
and just viii recoiI from it. It's
influence will be temporary: By
and by Mr.. Summers friends will
look back upon his speech with
regret as lacking in generosity, in
justice, in truth; in moderation.
No man who hates is fit to Judge
another. Sumner has raised a
monument OF his hatred to Grant.
We must commend to Mr.. Sum
ner passage in book which we
fear he does not read as often as
he should.
"He that sayeth he is in the
light and hateth his brother, is in
darkness even until now. He that
loveth his brother abideth in the
light, and there is no occasion of
stumbling in him. But he that
hateth his brother is in darkness.
and walketh in darkness, and
knoweth not whittier he goeth. be-
cause the darkness hath blinded
his eyes, -E Christian Union.

THE COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.

EDITOR NEWS: / haye noticed
several communications in your
paper in reference to the county SUI
perintendsncy of public schools. l
must confess myself well pleased
with the fact that the occupancy OF
this Office is attracting the attention
of our people, because it is second
in importance to no Office in the
gift of the people of this county.
1t is too late in the history of the
world and too much has trans
pired in the history of our country
to make it necessary for any one to
plead for thorough and universal
education. 1 but repeat a thing in
political economy known to all
when l affirm that ignorance is the
great rock upon which a republic is
likely to split, and that a nation is
prosperous-especially a republican
nation-in proportion to the educa-
ton of the masses OF its people.
This education mnst be accomplish
ed by an attention TO details. If
each integer is made perfect the
whole becomes right. 1 say then
that the fact of the people casting
about for the best man to fill the
o flee of Superintendent of Public
instruction for our county is en-
couraging, as evincing an interest in
this most vital subject.
In looking over the field of posi-
BILE or probable candidates for that
Office, fixed upon w. w. Williams
as the best man we could elect, even
before 1 was aware that he would
accept the office. Mr.. Williams
as you well know, having been as
ISOLATED with him in the manage
ment of the NEws-is well qualifi-
ed for this position. He is, as un-
derstand, a graduate from one of
our most prominent western col
leges, and is possessed of large ex-
perience in teaching, given him by
actual work in all grades of school
labor; he having educated himself
for the educational work
and been engaged in teaching ex-
clusiyely prior to his coming to
Kansas, some three years since. In
addition to superior attainments he
posses the requisite energy and bu-
siness ability to drive the duties of
the Office. Without disparaging the
labors and ability of our present
superintendent, think our educa-
tional interests could not be placed
in safer or more efficient hands than
those of Mr.. Williams, and believe
if he can be induced to accept the
Office our people cannot possibly do
better than to elect him.
