the cabinet, several Foreign ministers,
and many others holding high poslt ions
under the federal government, have de-
voted their attention almest exclusive

view of retaining thepolitical control of
some'of the pivotal states. To aid in the
work, the one hundred thousand en-

assessed upon their salaries to raise

without doubt returned Sherman's ia

That useless fifth wheel and political
hybrid, Postmaster General Key, no
doubt thinks he must sometimes pre-.
tend to do little business in order to
make show Of earning his salary, and
so he issues 'orders" how people are to
direct their letters. Mr.. Key IS how.
ever very unfortunate with his "or-
ders," for the good reason that they
are in themselves the very height of
nonsense and absurdity. Some time
ago all letters in che New York post
Office directed to Philadelphia, were
held by order of Mr.. Key as ''misdirec-
ted" They should have been address
ed to Philadelphia, Pa. Naturally
enough tons of letters soon accumula.
ted and the foolish order had to be re.
scinded. Again does our fraudulent
Postmaster General prove that he is
determined to make a fool of himself
by the shortest ann most direot route
possible. He amends his ''order'' and
makes it infinitely more absurd tn an it
was before. Now the proper county
must be mentioned on the letter. For
instance if you wish to inform your
friend in Philadelphia that you are
well at present, hoping that these
few lines may find him in the same
state of health, you must address him
about thus: Mr.. John Cousin, Philadel.
phia city, Philadelphia county, state of
Pennsylvania, ~. S.
But if people don't know the coun
ties in which certain cities are situas
tadF Why they must study Geography,
that's all. So, after all, the ''order"
works for the diffusion of knowledge,
even if it is little clumsy in practice.
There is still one objection to Mr..
Keys ''order," namely this: That un.
der his own rule no letter could ever
reach him, because Washington city
has no county, that is il is not situate
in any county. How will the poor, IL
hterate, backwoods post master do to
get in his quarterly reportP Guess a
certain address which we recently saw
in a western exchange, and which
struck US as original aud funny, will
soon become universal. 1t ran thus {:

Grant and Sherman

What two more vulnerable men in

Grant and Sherman The Republican
party itself was sick of Grants last
term, and his re nomination in 1876
was out of the question. Have four

sand crimes against civil liberty and
public morality ? Sherman has the cUn.
fidence of nobody. He cannot excite
enthusiasm in his own party, hardly
receive the general respect of his own
partisans. lie is selfish. Ne country
was ever cursed with a worse political
hypocrite. So that in the case of the

Last Sunday evening while In church

sion that it was real pity to mar an
otherwise excellent sermon by making
point Of Gen. Grant and lauding him
as one of the great men of the Worlds
history. Grant Is no great man in
any current sense OF the word. No.
body thinks so. The sober judgment
of the people has settled that matter
completely. Asa military chieftain he
had at least half a dozen equals if not
superiors, while to call him states.
man, or even piece or fragment of a
statesman onght to subject the person
that does it to prosecution for libel.
In one sense however, may Grant be
called great. His was pre.em inently
the administration of great ooIrNption,
great ring-rule, great stea1ing, great
good-for-nothingness generally. in ev-
cry and all of these Grant PNceled ev-
erything before him and since.

notice of the fact beforehand, 30 that

Newspaper Patronage.

There seems to be great many ways
of defining and understanding the
phrase newspaper patronage, and as
Il party interested in coryeeS detili-
tion of the same, we give the following
disquisition on the subject by one who
knows whereof he speaks. 1t may
serve, perhaps, as mirror, IN which
certain parties may be able to see them .
selves as others see them.
Experience has forced the conviction
upon US that newspaper patronage is a
word of many definitions, and t!at a
great majority or mankind are either
ignorant of the correct definition or
are dishonest in a strict biblical sea Sc
of the word. Newspaper patronage is
KS changeable as clam, leon.
One man comes in, subscribes for a
raper, pays for it in advance, and goes
home and reads it with profound salts
faction that it is his. lie hands in his
advertisement, and reapS the advantage
thereof. This is patti onage.
Another man asks you to send him
the paper, and goes off without saying
word about the pay. Time passes on,
you are in need of money and ask him
to pay the sum he owes you. He flies
in passion, perhaps not, and orders
his paper stopped. This is called pat
ronage.
One man brings in a fifty-cent ad-
vertlsement and wants a two-dollar
puff thrown in, and when you decline,
he goes off mad. Even this is called
patronage.
Another man don't take your paper.
1t is too high priced; but he borrows
and reads it regularly, and that could
be called newspaper patronage.
One man likes your paper he takes
a copy, pays for it and gets his friends
to do the same ; he is not always grum-
bling to you or others but has a friend
ly word. If an accident occurs in his
section he informs the editor. This is
newspaper patronage.
One hands you a marriage, or other
notice, and asks for extra copies con
tanning it; and when you ask him pay
for the papers, he locks surprised, and
says, "You surely don't take pay for
such small matters?" This is called
patronage.
One lit is good to see such) comes in
and says: "The year for which L paid is
about to expire 1 want to pay for dn.
other" lie does SO and retires. This
is newspaper patronage.
1t will be seen by the above that
while certain kinds of newspaper pat
ronage are the very life of a newspaper,
there are other kinds more fatal to its
health and circulation than the coils of
boa constructor are to the luckless
prey he patronizos. Exchange.

THE WALLACE COMMITTEE.
A Specimen of Democratic Par
tizanship.
Forged Documents Made Use of by
Democratic Speakers.

NEW YORK, May 29-The Tribune says that
at the meeting of the Wallace Committee yes
terday Senator Cameron asked chairman Wal
lace by whose authority the papers regarding
the conduct of the election in Massachusetts,
had been printed. The committee has not yet
taken word of testimony in regard to Massa-
chusetts affairs These documents, some of
which have been proved to be forgeries. have
been published and made use of by Democratic
speakers as facts developed by the committee.
Mr.. Wallace said, somewhat alphabetically,
that he had authorized their publication under
an order from the Senate, to which he refer
red.
Mr.. Cameron then asked if he had published
some affidavits sent to him by the United States
Marshal of Philadelphia, which documents
had exactly the same standing before the COM
mittee as that held by the Massachusetts, pap
ers, but which were favorable to the Republi-
cans.
Mr.. Wallace replied that he had not publish
ed these documents.
Mr.. Cameron then dwelt at some length up
on the unfair course of procedure which the
chairman had adopted.
