A NEW Sunday paper will appear in the
city of brotherly love" on Sunday next, tc
be called the Sunday Sam, price two cents
The Sun is to make specially of fighting
the seven cent care fare, and rings in gen.
eral. 1t is refreshing to know that Phila
delphia will have one journal with inde.
pendence enough to fight the infamous
street car monopoly of that city. Philadel
phia has the discreditable notoriety o
making her citizens pay higher car fare
than and other city in the Union. The citi
zcns of that car-ridden city have long wan.
ted such an organ as the Sunday Sun prom
ises to be, and they should give it hearty

THE House Committee on Appropriations
recommended deficiency appropriation Of
100000 to provide for light, fuel and water
for the public buildings in all parts of the
country during the remainder of the fiscal
year. The item will be inserted in the an

peremptory order of Monday last, issued to
officials in charge of courts. customs and
post offices will be rescinded, In these days
of rapid transit, when 60 much depends on
the early dispatch and prompt delivery OF
the mails, the loss of time if the post Offices
were closed at night, and failure to con-
meet with midnight and early morning
trains, would be attended with disastrous
consequences.

A REPEATER of Baltimore has been SEN
fenced to Imprisonment in the penitentiary
for two and half years for voting in the
name of another person at the last election
A few sentences of that kind in Philadel
phia would have good effect in purifying
the voters of that city, so notorious for its
election frauds. If Philadelphia were te
penitentiary all its repeaters, it would have
to enlarge its penitentiary accommodations
in fact it would have to build several new

KILBoURxAND Ms AssscIArssI

KILDOUR1 AND MS AssoCIATEs
The communications witness Hallet Kill
bourn does not like his quarters in the
Seneca Sandstone Jail, and no wonder he
don't like his sandstone prison, as there is
a touch Of retributive justice in the thing
not fully understood by the people
generally. This new Jail was one Of the
most shameful jobs for which the Seneca
Sandstone Ring made itself infamous.
With the villainous job Of constructing
the sandstone prison, this same prisoner
Kilbourn had more to do than any man
except A. B. Mullet, the inventor and ar
chitect of the prison. Prisoner Kilbourn.
however, is not only pet Of the Washing
ton Ring, but pet Of Congress, the House
refusing to instruct the Tailor to feed their
pet with the same fare as other prisoners.
1t seems that this pet Of the Seneca Sanu-
stone thieves must be kept in Jail in the
most extravagant style to keep him from
squealing on his Republican pals. While
the investigating committees have their
hands in, let them make an inquiry into
the erection and expenditures connected
with this new Jail, and of the purchase Of
the site and procurement OF the stone and
other materials therefor. Boss Shepherd,
Kelley, Mullett, Kilbourn and others
made good thing out of this prison job,
and it will be interesting to know allabout
the manner in which the matter was mar
ipulated.

GEN. BABcooK's friends think he should
ask for court-martial in his case, but real.
ly the most decent thing he can do is to re-
sign all the positions he holds and retire
to private life. The Committee on
Public Buildings and Grounds have
decided not to permit the expen-
ditures of any money appropriated for
Washington, to be made under his control.
Having miraculously escaped, he should
retire from before the public, which believe
him guilty.

QUARTERMAsTER GENERAL MEIGs was

the National cemeteries and concerning the
late change of the Quartermaster Generals S
Office from the building at 10th and G..
streets to the one now occupied on Pennsyl-
vania avenue and 18th street. The General
did not hesitate to condemn in the broad
est terms the headstone swindle as we'll as
the removal job. He said the law was clear
ly violated in the letting of the headstone
contract, and that the late Secretary of War
was responsible therefore.

THOMAS FRANCIS BAYARD.
HAMLlN AND THE PRESS.
FOR PRESIDENT !

Senator Hamlin on Wednesday last
made speech in explanation Of his offer
ing Of the amendment last year increasing
the rates of postage on third class mail
matter. He exhibited in his speech a
hatred of metropolitan newspapers, but ex-
pressed rather affectionate feeling for the
country press. The keynote Of Mr.. Ham
Inns speech was the idea that the Post
Office Department should pay its own way
by those who use it in paying all that it
costs The most important part of his
speech, was that the rates Of postage on
regular publications, prepaid to regular
subscribers, should be increased. Such an
increase would not be favorable for the
country press, for which Mr.. Hamlin pro-
fessed so much friendship for an increase
on the rates Of postage can be borne much
better by the large and and firmly estab-
lisAed city papers than by the hundreds Of
country papers. Many Of the country
papers would have to suspend under such
an imposition. which would be remark
able method Of aiding the country papers
for which The Hon. Senator expressed SO
much friendship. 1t will be an outrage
to again throw the cost of postage upon
the newspapaper subscribers, SO that an in
crease of the rates will have the direct re-
suit Of establishing monopolies in the
publishing business. Mr.. Hamlin will
have to make another explanation as
his agressions towards the metropolitan
pres is not at all favorable to the country
press. He should not desist until he has
atoned for the harm he has done, for there
is not man in the Union, who, when he
licks tive cent stamp on paper tina:
went for one before he increased the rate,
but thinks of him and weeps

RELKNAP DOOMED

No favorable revulsion can be had in
the case of Secretary Belknap, as there is
unbroken proof of wholesale extorticn ex-
listing from post-traders, and that the sys-
tenn was instituted at the solicitation -:
upon the recommendation of the ex.Se.-
retary himself, and that he must have re-
ceived nearly quarter of a million OF
dollars from this source.
While Belknsp's guilt is sufficient to
warrant his condemnation, and to render
the name he bears worthy Of the scorn
and contempt Of every virtuous American
who values the honor of our Republican
institutions, he j. not the only nan who
has gone poor to Washington, and after
entertaining handsomely, have in Ia few
brief years retired with princely fortunes.
Unfortunately for Belknap, he has been
detected in his villiany, but he is not the
only man who will pass down the vista OF
posterity as having cast dishonor on a
Cabinet position.
B.lknap's case is a lesson afforded, that
no poor man should allow himself to be
enticed into the charmed official circles
if his inclinations or desires tend toward
a fondness for artificial and so-called bril-.
liant society at the National Capital.
The Senators have been sworn in as
judges of impeachment by the Chief JUS
tice, and one more step has been taken ir
the Babcock trial. The next step will be
on the 18th inst, when the Senate prom
ise 10 summon Belknap. There is nc
lick Of ceremony in the preliminaries Of
Belknap's impeachment trial, and it seems
impossible to fail in convicting him aftel
such elaborate formalities.
