year shows an aggregate increase Of

Of the best results in the postal serv-
ice, he earnestly recommends that it
be not restored until at least fair
trial can be made.
In his last report he recommended
reduction of postage on books to
one cent for two ounces. IF that sug-
yestion should be adopted, he can not
see why postage should not be paid
upon congressional documents as we'll

appropriation in the Treasury.

It is reported from St. Paul that
there is great restitution among the
Indians Of Vermillion Lake. Many
are dying from starvation. Six chill
dren and one man are said to have
been eaten by the famished savages.
The causes assigned are: the failure
Of the wild rye crop, dearth of game,
and the alleged circumstance of the
neglect Of the Government to furnish
the usual quantity of provisions. YER
million Lake is only nine miles from
Duluth. That human beings should
starve in such close proximity to the
haunts of civilization is lamentable,
and to permit the restitution, suffer-
ing, and death to continue will be
disgraceful alike to government and
people. Prompt measures should be
taken to relieve the distress.

Rigid economy, should now be in

cutting down salaries of officers, and
dispensing with some of the p ssitions
that We think are entirely useless, and
which we have heretofore pointed out.

the City Marshal do the duty devolv-
ing on him. We do not need more
than four policemen in our little city.
IF each officers salary we're reduced
ten per cent, with the reduction in
the force We have suggested, enough
money will be saved to the city to en-
able her to reduce her enormous debt
Of nearly three hundred thousand dol
lars, instead Of increasing it, as we
understand is the result of last years
operations. With the increase of tax
ables, given us by the Hibberd Law,
and the saving We have limited at, our
citizens would take oourage-pay their
taxes willingly and ehoerfully- believ-
ing that, by strictly practicing econo-

The Washington correspondent of

candidate for the Chief Justiceship,
under date Of January 18th:
"The President met Susan B. An
thony by accident on the avenue yes
terday, in company with another men,
Der of the suffrage convention, and a
conversation took place. At length
the President asked Miss Anthony If
there was anything he could do for
her. Miss Anthony replied that she
thought the request came pretty late.
She had stumped New York State for
President in the last election, and
then on trying to vote for him some Of
his officers had arrested her and put
her in Jail. She was now at large with
out his help, and she did not know
what there was left to do; but if the
President was really in earnest in de-
string to do something for her, he
might please nominate Mrs. Cady
Stanton for Chief Justice. The Pres.
ident laughed, and said he would
think the matter over, and continued
his walk"
