SOME FEATURES OF THE POSTAL

Postmaster-G eneral James forth
coming report will be Of more than
usual interest. One letter in every
fifteen goes to the Dead-letter Office.
During the past year the number
reaching that office was 3,23.621.
The letters contained upwards of
forty thousand dollars in checks,
drafts and notes and money orders.
The money-order system has expand
ed until during the past year, the
aggregate value of money orders is
sued was $lo5, 5,o75, 1895. The fees
paid by the public to postmasters for
money orders amounted to $966, 1872.
IS. That is, the Government was
paid nearly million dollars for car
rying on this limited banking bust
ness. Inquiries are sometimes made
as to how single postmaster mana
ges when more funds are drawn from
his Office than are paid in. The post
mast 'r-general explains the matter
s'Postmasters at such offices are
authorized to transfer funds from the
Postage to the Money Order account
for the purpose of meeting the de-
mand for the payment of money or
ders. In case where the postage
funds are insufficient or not available
for the purpose at Offices east of the
Rocky Mountains, postmasters are
allowed each a credit to designated
amount with the Postmaster at New
York and instructed to draw upon
him as the exigencies of the Money
Order business may require. In like
cases in the Pacific States and Terri
tories postmasters are supplied with
funds by the postmaster at San Fran
cisco, CAL, or the postmaster at Port
land, Or. The drafts drawn by post
masters during the year against the
credits allowed them, as stated, with
the Postmaster at New York, amount
ed to $9,654, ,220.35. while during the
same period postmasters on the Pa
cifc slope who required assistance to
pay orders drawn upon their offices
were furnished with funds to the
amount of $2e3,7o2 by the postmas-
ter at San Francisco, and to the
of s25,9a6 by the postmaster
at Portland, Or"
The net profit on the business of
conducting the Money Order system
for the last fiscal year was no less
than $252,3l4.64.

THE INSANE DoDeE.ExPLoDEp.

Since the efial of Guiteau has been
progressing at the City of Washing
ington the newspapers, many o.
them, have been denouncing the pro
ceedings before Judge Cox as farce
and blaming his honor for suffering
Che defendant to so frequently inter
rupt the proceedings. Such com
ments is no doubt less deserved in
this case than in most Others, or
others of a different nature. The
main defense in this case, and in fact
the whole defense is insanity. With
this point in view Judge Cox has no
doubt tolerated the frequent and al
most continued interruptions of de-
fendant, SO that all parties concerned
in the case would be better enabled
to study the question of insanity.
II is apparent to every one that the
more acts and Interruptions perform.
ed by the defendant the better all
persons present could study and
Judge of the condition of his mind.
So emboldened had the defendant
became by his frequent successes in
interrupting Court counsel and wit
nesses, that he concluded to take the
witness stand in his own behalf Up to
this time, however, some parties had
began to think that perhaps these in
terruptions proceeded from an insane
impulse. But after assuming the po-
sition of witness, and while under
going the severe ordeal of cross
examination by counsel for the pros
ecution. The little farce which he
had been attempting to play upon
the Court, jury and the people of the
whole world became too apparant,
and at the termination of his testi-
mony those who had before doubted
bacame satisfied of his sanity and of
his responsibility for the upardonable
crime which he haa committed.
This again forces the conclusion
that while newspapers sometimes as
eume to dictate TO all classes of
proceedings. Yet, when they talk
about judicial proceedings and the
farcical nature Of them, they get out
side of those matters of which they
have true conception, and pander
to wild, random, half civilized idea
of which they know nothing about.

THE PROSPECTS FOR WHEAT.

The prices Of wheat in the valley
has remained quite steady during
the season thus far. Since the COM
mencement of the season tonnage has
declined from ten to fifteen shillings.
In Europe wheat has been in great
demand and it Is pretty well ascer-
tanned that there is nearly enough
shipping on the way to take the crop
away vet the price remains low.
The shipping thus far has been drop
ping in so gradually that no great
demani has been made. In fact
grain has been forced upon the mar
ket in such quantities that there has
been during the whole season large
supply in the hands OF shippers
awaiting for vessels to take it away.
So far as can be Observed in the
future, it appears very much like the
tonnage will reach MS so gradually
that supply will all the time remain
in the hands of exporters fo- ship
ment. With this condition of affairs
there seems to be no probability OF
any great advance in prices for the
present year.
While farmers continue to force
wheat upon the market faster than
the arrival of tonnage to take it away
there is no inducement for exporters
to advance the price. Yet it has
been pretty thoroughly understood
that if the farming community were
so situated that they could hold their
crop with any kind of concert of
action for a short time that prices
would necessarily have to advance
in consequence.

BOUND TO. WED.

The old gentleman from Happy
Camp, who showed his ears SO plainly
in ascardein one of the Jacksonville
papers concerning his experience at
Rock Point in search of a wife, says
the Ashland Tidings, has succeeded
in having himself pretty thoroughly
published by the Oregon Press. He
is about 63 years old and is worth
some $4,000, besides a valuable,
constantly-paylng mining claim. He
has lived alone as long as he wants
to, and is bound now to have a wife.
He doesn't want one. however, over
20 years of age, and very few girls of
that age seem to want him. He sent
a young man East, paid his expenses,
and gave him $500, to bring out the
young mans sister to marry him, bat
tie young lady refused to come. He
then was induced to come over to
Rock Point, and failed there; and
his latest venture was to capture a
young lady named Rose, 10 years of
age, living at Drains, Douglas coun-
ty. Miss Roses sister, a married
lady living at Happy Camp, under
took to make the match, and with
the anxious suItor went TO Drains.
Dora knew of their coming and fled.
We hear that az last the indefatiga-
BILE wooer Is likely to marry young
girl on Williams Creek, giving her
in consideration to use as she wishes
a half interest in his mining claim.

POLITICS IN OREGON.

The heated vapor can already be
easily observed escaping from the
political pot and in few short weeks
it will doubtless arrive at boiling
heat. These manifestations are more
noticeable now than in any other way
by the names of certain prominent
politicians being placed before the
public mind for important political
positions more particularly for the
United States Senate. What is to
be gained by this unusual contest is
more than any man can tell unless
the object is to COMPEL the political
parties in the coming election to load
up with certain men and carry
them through the election, and thus
make the contest an Issue on men
instead of purely political questions.
1t would appear more like political
wisdom for parties who wish to sac
rifce themselves for the good of the
people in order to gain the position
of United States Senator to quietly
permit the people without interfer-
ence to elect their members TO the
legislature on such issues as they
deem most proper.
After this is done then will be tie
most proper time for the several
aspirations for the United States
Senate to appear and submit their
respective claims to the legislature
as this tribunal is the only one that
can elect, it would appear premature
and unwise to urge such. claims be-
fore a tribunal which has not juris-

WARDS COLLECTION OF CASTS OF

Sciences of San Francisco informing
him that he shall net be able to reach

Professor Ward has been exhibit

ton of fossil casts III New Zeland d

dustrial Exhibition. Those who
ought to know best say that, with
out doubt, this collection stands so
far ahead of all others as to leave
them practically out of sight. He
has furnished some of the finest casts
in the Smithsonian and other insti-
tutions, and proposes on his tour
homeward to Rochester to exhibit
the collection at San Francisco.
Teachers and Scholars are assured
that they haye in store for them.

will astonish them with its VARIETY

On the trip to Australia Mr.. Ward

and dollars.
