BY BLACKBIRD.


For maybe we shall see the boss
Come sneaking up the room,
And then this little chat OF ours

Give me light, Bill, if you please,
To act my pipe aglow,
And then I'll set to telling YOU
The little things know.
There is great confusion in

About Consolidation of
The Companies around.
TIA pretty hard to get the truth
Of what they re driving at;
But moneys at the root of it
Ill bet you all on that
l don't pretend to Know so much
IA those fine city men,
But vixen go and hear them talk,
catch words now and then.
put these words together, and
That's how I come to know
That their planning and their scheming
Will do no good for Joe"
There's one Consolidation now
A pretty big affair,
With many thousand scres,
And not a foot to spare.
They can buy Legislature.
And Courts of Justice, too,
And when they meet stumbling block,
Their cash will get them through.
Though people call me foolish, vet
There's bigger fools than me;
mean those that sign petitions for
Consolidation be.
And those mullct headed merchants,
Who got poor men to sign
A document we could not read,
Nor they themselves define.
At first they kicked against it,
Until promise fair
Was brought to town, that, IA to trade,
Each man should have his share.
And then they Sc. to signing it,
And handing it around,
To get the ~ of us all
Above and under ground;
And then they preach d around and said
A blessing it would be
To have the lands, and coal, and works,
All in one Company.
And tnat i.tc::'tast u ,p.tai
Would insure work for all
Yea, those whose dread has butter on
Are justified 10 bawl.
But then there's wheels III wheels, You
know,
las plain az plain can be
That what would make these fellows
rich,
Would ruin YOU and me.

No stores Of any kind;
Now that's a piece of "habhcrgssh,"
And nothing bu, blind.
Six thousand dollar licenses
t. skin the working MEN,
Are issued by the Company,
So now it's worse than when
They kept the stores end had their
clerks
To peddle soap and tea
To tend to books and keep accounts

Thosc clerks they were jolly SCI,
And did no: care . brown"

Some other place in town.
But now those licensed eKinncrs look
Around with watchful eye,
And guard our little income SO
No copper can 90 by.

New Postosice Regulations.

/! The Easton (Pa.) Free Press SAYS ::
Owing to the fact that there are still
q few persons who do not understand
how 70 transact postolfce business
properly, the department hes issued q
series OF rules and regulations for the
benefit Of postoffice patrons, which it
will be we'll to remember and follow
CONCERNING MAILING OF LETTERS.
l. Never buy any postage stamps.
Hand yonr letter to the postmaster,
and ask him if he can change q w.
If he can't, tell him you'll hand it to
him some other time. 1T will not be
necessary to do so, however, as three
cents are nothing.)
2. When you hand your letter to
him, do not by any means forget to
tell him to be sure and have that 80.
IF YOU do not give him warning he
will be very apt to keep it in his Of
Zee s long tlme.>
3. Always remember not to put
Your letters in the letter box. III
you do the postmaster will not have
SO much business, and you encoura &C
laziness)
4. 'Tia well to ask him how long
before Won ought to get an answer to
It. (Of course he cant tell, but just
TO see how well he can guess.)
GETTING THE NAIL.
l. If you have box, do not call
out the number of it, or your name,
but stand and drum on it with yorlr
fingers (This will enable You to
show that you have got box, and al
80 obliges the postmaster to take d
good look at you)
2. When he hands out your mail
Of there is any don't fail to ask him
if that's all (Postmasters are in the
habit of holding back a portion of
each one mail, which of course they
will not do after the question is asked)
3, If any expected letter or paper
does not come, ask the postmaster
what he sposes is the reason? And
tell him it's mighty curious. (Of
course, postmasters are not possessed
of supernatural knowledge, but they
should know where the letters are
after they have been in the business !
4 while.)

The editor of the Cleveland Her
aid, in commenting upon the res
ignation of Colonel Forney, in an
editorial, in which many good things
are said, takes occasion to advise
''every newspaper man in office to 'go
and do likewise This is all very
well, but the advice would have more
force if our friend of the HERALD had
set the example when he was Post
master of Cleveland City. Instead
of that, however, he managed to be
so unindependent as TO enable him to
hold the Office through the whole OF
Johnson's Infamous Administration.
We would not have the reader infer
from what we have said that an ed
itor, because in office, should be mum
and desist from just criticism. On
the contrary we agree with the Her.
aid that editorial office holders
should speak right out in meeting
and condemn wrong wherever it ex-
lists. We have no knowledge that
the present administration asks
otherwise.

Against Wind and Tide.

4
For some weeks says the Times
q small, but not uninduential, class of
papers has been trying very hard to
organize Republican opposition to
Gen. Grant. Among them, they have
accused him of pretty nearly every
crime known under the sun. Still
they have found it almost impossible
to make any headway. Much was
hoped from the New York Custom
house investigation, but the abuses
which have been exposed are seen by
everybody to be old abuses, of grad
ual growth in the Custom house sys-
tem-and for which, consequently, no
single President or Collector can just
~ be held responsible Morever, as
evils are: brought to light, Gen. Grant
sets to. work removing them-a prac-
ical step which considerably bothers
his opponents. Reform is not what
they care about SO much as the OPP
portunity of making political capital
out of alleged frauds and corruptions.
The General Order system is open to
much censure, and we recommended
its abolition weeks ago. We have no
doubt that the President soon made
up his mind to take that step. It is
very hard for the "new party men,"
and the cone term men, and all the
rest of them, to excite strong pop
uldr feeling against President who
addresses himself to public business
In this practical manner. They would
like to see him refuse to touch any
abuse which is exposed. Instead of
that, he forwith takes a knife and cuts
it out. While his assailants are talk
ing about what they would do if they
only had the chance, the President
goes and does il. This is very hard
upon such 'Reformers" as Carl Schurz
and Senator Fenton, but we do not
hear any complaints from the people
about the arrangement.
The Springfield Republican says
that it is "proof of strength in
what it calls the "Anti- Grant Repub-
licans" that they present no ..opposi-
ton candidate, This does not seem
TO be very business like view of the
matter. There is an old pfexerb that
advises one not to throw away dirty
water until you get clean, and the
"Anti Grant Republicans must ad-
NIT that it is very applicable to- their
condition. We do not think that it
Is by any means dirty water which we
are inviting to throw away, but they
do, and, therefore, from their own
point of view they are bound to pro
vide US with clean first. Its all very
easy to say that Gen. Grant is cor.

Liberal RepubIiciSm.

The able Editor of the Cincinnati
Commercial, dyed in-the wool Dem
ocratic paper, in his issue Of last
week, says:
There is movement on foot of the
Liberal Repnblicans-a national
movement. The Liberal Republicans
are Hon. George Hoadley, Hon
Stanley Matthews, Hon. J. B. Stall
10, Hon. Jacob Brinkerhof, Hon. III.
W. Oliver, all of them ex-judges, and
Gen. j. D. Cox of Ohio, who nation
alize by epistolary cohabitation with
Gratz Brown and Senator Schu-z of
Missouri. To naturalist, the con-
junction of names is curious and sig
nifcant; being strictly in accordance
with the law of natural selection.
Why these gentlemen call themselves
Liberal Republicans-except that the
word liberal is good word-it
might not be so easy to explain.
Perhapse the title, uneasy Republi-
cans would be quite as appropriate !;
for, while the one may be matter of
taste or opinion, the other has a
striking similarity to matter of fact.
When these gentlemen were mem.
bers Of the Democratic party, they
were not distinguished for their lib.
erality. When they were members
of the Free Soil party, liberality was
not virtue for which they were es-
pecial1y conspicuous. In the Repnb-
lican party if liberality constituted a
marked feature in their characters,
the fact has not until very recently
been discovered.
:, To whatever party they have been
attached, they have always numbered
among the shot gospelers'' of the
| concern; and an unkind critic-whicb
we are nct-reading the literature OF
the movemeIt, might be inclined to
suspect that Their trouble is, not that
the party has got to be too fast, but
that it has got to be too slow to suit
the ardor of their dispositions.
We ought. of course, to encourage
this movement and we do encourage
it. The vision of the party made up
of superfine material, into which
none but the wise and good are to be
admitted, and in whose history the
long delayed reign of the political
latter-day saints is to be realized, il
delicious even if it ends in disap-
pointment. Liberality is good
thing. There can not be too much
or too many kinds of it scattered
abroad and in active operation among
US and If these gentlemen succeed
in exemplifying and recommending
a new variety of that article, th'
world ought to be as grateful for th'
service as it usually is to its benfae
tors.

rupt President, and that the journals
which think proper to support him
are also corrupt. But the fact is per-
fectly obvious that Gen. Grant has
done more than any other President
for years past to root out corruption.
He found every branch of the public
service in an unusual demoralized
state, and he has tried, and is still
trying, to cleanse it, and to place it on
basis which will render further COR
ruptions impossible. Senator Schurz
said that the President would cast the
report of the Civil Service Commis-
sioners into the fire. Instead of that he
immediately adopted it. Every 9th
er charge of the same kind which has
been brought against him has fallen
to the ground in the same manner. If
the Alabama differences are not set
tied before the next election, it will
not be his fault. "Some one has
blundered," it appears, but it is not
the President. The truth is, that the
people have still ten times more con-
fidence in him than in all the tsore-
heads" and doctrinaires but together.
Compare his mistakes with the mis-
takes of Horace Greeley, one of his
rivals. Gen. Grant has been vltuper-
ated because he bought; some shares
in certain Company, long before he
became President. But we never
heard of him joining Tweed and
Sands in a commercial speculation.
He never allowed his name to be used
for the purpose of inducing poor peo-
pie to deposit their savings in rot
ten and fraudulent bank. He has
never tried to 'stickle" the rebellious
element in the south by telling them
that the North was responsible for
the war, or by hobnobbing with jeff.
Davis. He takes a plain, common
sense view of public affairs, and tries
to direct them in good faith, and for
the common good. Under these cir
cumstances, it is not surprising that
the last six weeks of venomous op-
position to him have left him as
strong as ever with the people. We
say again that if better man for the
Presidency can be found, it would be
well to let the people have peep at
him. But it is little too much to
expect them to throw Gen. Grant
over, at the bidding of chaotic set
of politicians whose only grievance
is that they or their friends have not
received a proper share of the "ofi
