Postal Cards.

When postal cards were first issued,
about six years ago, their novelty pro-
voked some fault-tinding, and they were
made fun of us ''stingy," shabby" ''un-
SAFE etc. But they were cheap, and the
people used them, and the critics soon
followed the example of the people. Now.
(as an exchange remarks) the postal card
has only two enemies, the man who re-
ceives duns on it, and the manufacturers
of writing paper. The little postal causes
a decrease of from twelve to fifteen mil
lion dollars every year in the business Of
the writing paper trades in this country.
Postal cards are made at Holyoke, and
forty men are continually employed at
their manufacture. The card board is
furnished in packages of three thousand
each, and every sheet is made into forty
postals. Three presses are kept going
night and day. A machine Sits thesheets
into strips Of ten cards each, and these III
turn are cut into single cards, aud dumped
in piles of twenty-five each, when they
are packed by girls in paste, board boxes
containing five hundred cards. A gov
ernment officer is constantly on hand to
see that 10 pilfering of cards is done. The
Holyoke manufactory turns out about
one million cards day.

A Nan Murders His Wife, Who Had Ex-
changed Beds With Guest.

CHARLOTTE COURT House, Va, Feb
urary "a singular and brutal murder
was committed last night in Checker
town. Charlotte County. Yesterday
evening white woman went into John
Demps' house and asked to staya day
or two. She seemed TO have a great deal
of money and the man agreed. He had
but one good chamber in the house. and
told her she could occupy that. He ac-
cordingly put her in there. giving her y
bed by the side of his wife's bed. Demps,
seeing that she hadA money. determined
TO murder her, and last night crept into
the room armed with an ak. IL seems
that his wife and the other woman had
changed beds during the night, and
Demps went to the bed which he sup
posed the guest occupied. He could
only distinguish the outlines Of the fig
ure upon the bed. and he brought down
the ak with murderous effect. He. with
two blows, mangled his victim to death.
The noise woke the sleeper in the other
tel, and the man discoveded by her
screams that he had murdered his own
wife instead of the other women. He
He'd from the room, and, fortunately.for
safety, the other woman left the house.
Demps returned later and carried the
body of his wife into clunp of woods
near by. and burned it by the light of a
lightwood torch. He then came back,
and was engaged in burning the bed
sheets when he was arrested. The guest
gave in her statement against him. The
affair causes the most intense excitement.

RefHnding Proposition.
Especial to the Cincinnati Commercial.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 3.-Mr. Hatch, of
Fisk & Hatch, New York bankers, is here
consulting members OF the Senate FL
nance Committee. He has had inter
views with Senator Beck, and. it is said,
has made an impression on him by his
representation Of the practicability of a
three-per-cent. bond. 1t is reported that
his firm offers to place half the proposed
loan at that rate. Mr.. Hatch says that
the only thing that will defeat the three
percent. bond is the proposition to give
the Secretary discretion as to whether he
will float it at or So. If this passes, he
says, those who take bonds will demand
the higher rate.

Stand Back!

Enquirer Wash. Special, Feb. 4th.
Mr. Hill, of Ohio, to whom was dele
gated the task by the House Foreign
Affairs Committee of preparing a report
on the subject of the Monroe Doctrine,
has discharged that responsible duty, and
after careful incubation, deliberation and
research, has reported Congressional
bull which, in substance, declares that
no European Government or Power
should be allowed to construct or exer-
else control over any canal built across
the ISthmus. 1t goes little beyond the
Monroe Doctrine, which applied only to
political systems on this continent, and
asserts that in view of our extensive sea
coast. and our vast possessions on the Pa
citic, that any change of navigation of the
two great oceans is q question of para
mount interest to the people of the United
States, and insists that no foreign Power
shall control such inter-oceanic commun-
ication. 1t does recognize the right of
New Grenada to improve her own terri
tory by any sort OF enterprise in which
she may wish to engage, and declares in
favor of canal open to the commerce of
the world upon equal terms, under Ameri-
can control. 1t quotes Monroe's message,
Jeftersons letters, Mr. Canning, who was
Secretary of Foreign Affairs of Great
Britain at the time of the Monroe mes
sage, Lord Brougham and others. tt re-
cites briefly the doings of the Holy ALI,
ance which led to the promulgation of
the Monroe message, recltes the action of

statesmen on the subject Accompany.

which deny the right of European Pow
ers to construct or in any way control a

The Republican Party and the Ne
gro.

In one of his recent letters from and
about the South to the Philadelphia
Times, Colonel Mcclure says:
Here every channel of industry is
open to him (the black man.) The white
and black mechanic are on equal footing;
the prejudices of race have no existence
save when there is a struggle for the
domination of the spoiler over property,
and he legislates and fills posisions for
which he is fitted not only with the
sympathy but often by the votes of the
whites. [ saw score OF coiored po-
licemen on the streets of New Orleans
serving under Democratic Mayor, but
it would cost Mayor Stokely his asst hope
of election if he were to put the sable po-
liceman on Chestnut street. | saw black
men sitting ON the Democratic side of
Southern Legislatures, but no Republican
district in Philadelphia OF Pennsylvania
has ventured to nominate one of the sew
enty-five hundred colored voters of the
city. or one of the thrice that number
liz the State, for any legislative position,
either State or municipal. saw the col
ored man mingled with the Democratic
organizations in the South, but no one
could sit in the councils of the League
or the Union Club or march in mixed
ranks with the invincibles or Young Re
publicans in Philadelphia. saw him
have free access to every channel of
mechanical industry in the South, but
he is relentlessiythrus from the organ
lied mechanical pursuits of Republican
Philadelphia. v
II the North must assume the task of
elevating the black to equal power re-
gardless Of fitness let it begin by giving him
in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, New
York, and other Republican States, the
same industrial equality and political
promotion that the less educated blacks
of the South now enjoy with the cordial
sympathy of the Southern whites. Isee
the same colored leader lex Senator
Revels,) who was excluded from the
forum of the Academy of Music, when a
Republican Senator, solely because OF his
race, now az the head of u colored col
lege that is sustained entirely by the
Democratic State Government Of Missis-
sippi, and holds his high commission from
the same authority, while Republican
Pennsylvania has no such temple of
learning for the black man.

Worth Remembering.

Now that good times are again upon us,
before indulging in extravagant show, it
is worth remembering that no one can
enjoy the pleasantest surroundings if in
bad health. There are hundreds Of mis-
cradle people going about to-day with
disordered stomach, liver or kidneys, or
a dry, hacking cough, and one foot IN the
grave, when Scot. bottle of Parker's
Ginger Tonic would do them more good
than all the expensive doctors and quack
medicines they have ever tried. 1t always
makes the blood pure and rich, and will
build you up and give you good health at
little cost. Read of it in another column.

The Republicans of Ohio are exper-
iencing some of the disadvantages of
wishing to maintain the reputation of
being the party of great moral ideas,
without desiring to face boldly all the
duties which it would seem to carry with
it. Last winter a local option law was
urged upon the Legislature by the tenn
perance people, but, fearing, the effect of
such legislation upon the larger and liber-
ty loving Germans in the presidential
election, the managers induced the cru
saders to let the bill sleep for a year.
Now the temperance advocates ask that
the bill be taken up and passed. 1t is
now quite as important that Ohio should
Sustain Garfield and keep Governor
Foster in the chair, as it was to hold the
state right last winter But the temper
ance people are dead in earnest. II the
law they demand is not passed they will
kick out of the traces and upset the
wagon, Garfield, Foster and all, next
fall.--Boston Herald. ..
The Herald states the position accurate
ly. The Republican managers are in an
uncomfortable position in this state, even
if Garfield has been elected. With a
mob of new office-seekers bowling to get
in and the old rats squealing to stay in;
with the temperance people in dead earn
est to get local option and anti-Sun-
day violation bill through: with the
moral people fighting the booksellers and
the pool-buying and pool selling element
interchangeable outlook for Republican
legislators and candidates in this state is
not encouraging.-Pld Dealer.

Is the Democratic Party Dead!

Republicans fattsr themselves that be-
cause Garfield was elected by the skin of
his teeth by minority vote. that the
Democratic party is dead; when the fact
Is that every election for the last ten
years the Democratic party have had a
majority of the votes of the country. The
principles of the Democratic party are SO
manifestly correct, that in a Republic
like ours. it is not surprising that Demo
cratic principles should find favor with
her people.
At the late Presidential election, had
it not been for the base trearhery of Kel
ley and his faction and the stupendous
frauds by the Republican party in New
York and Brooklyn, General Hancock
would have been elected by handsome
majority in the Electoral College. AS it
was, he received a majority of the popu-
lar vote. as will be seen by examination
of the votes received by the several Presi-
dental candidates at the late election, as
follows, viz:
Hancock ......... ABS Sal
Garfield ld...............-...... .,,,,, f. +32 l2s
weaver .,........... 3OG 10
Hancock's plurality over Garfield 6, 513,
while Garfield lacked 32S, 345 of ma jori-
ty of all the votes.
So on the official vote of the country.
it is ascertained that Hancock has ma.
jority of 6,513 over Garfield. This on a
total vote of ten million, is close; but the
important fact is that Hancock has good
majority over Garfield, and Il majority of
over million of the white voters of the
country. General Hancock received
nearly a million more votes than General
Grant did in 1877, and one hundred thous-
and more than Tilden received in 1865.
In view Of tfSse facts we would ask these
Republicans that are asserting that the
Democratic party is dying out, to recon.
cile their assertions with these significant
facts.
The result of the late election, and in
view that public opinion in some States
was overcome by corrupt influences, bri-
berry and treachery, is a matter that must
satisfy every thinking person that the
success of the Democratic party in the
near future is a fact, as apparant as that
its success IS essential for the preserva-
ton of our republican institutions and
the welfare and prosperity of the coun-
try.-Ohdo Eagle.

The New York Herald asks the Senate
to reject the nomination of Stanley Mat
thews for a Justice of the Supreme Court
for several good and sufficient reasons,
as follows:
Because in point of intellect he is ut
terly unfit to be Judge.
Because he is morally disc lifted
from giving a judicial opinion in any
case where the interests of the people
conflict with the interests of certain
great railway corporations and railway
grandees.
Because his appointment is in itself
shameless thing, being the last Install
ment of his fee for dishonorable services
rendered to Hayes four years ago."
