The Use of Postal Cards.

Postal cards have become so popu-
Tar in the United States that the de-
snand for them greatly exceeds the
supply. They are manufactured at
Springfield, Mass, and we are told
that the postal card factory at that
-,lace is unable to keep up with the
orders. In one week nine million
cards were ordered, and the factory
was before that time three millions
behind. The presses run day and
might in their fullest capacity
Among recent shipments of cards are
aoted an invoice of 100000 to the
Philadelphia post office.

THE INDIAN COMMISSION
The New York Tribune says:

~ ~NNV a OAsN - NNNS'NN A'NJc
There is no doubt but public senti-
ment agrees with the verdict of The
Nation on the outcome of Professor
Marsh's charges on the Indian ring :
"On the whole, with Delano re-
moved, Smith under a very serious
cloud, and a report recommending
the removal of the agent against
whose administration the investiga-
tion was chiefly directed, and still
another agent, as well as the exclu-
sion of three contractors from all
further connection with the Govern
ment, Prof. Marsh must feel that as
q scholar in politics " he has had a
considerable amount of success; and
if every one of his charges is not
proved, and some of them prove to
have been too strong, he probably.
consoles himself with the reflection
that nine-tenths of the prosecuting
officers in the country, even with the
courts and the machinery of justice
to aid them, seldom get verdict
upon more counts in their indict-
ment than he has done in his"
