THE POSTAL MONEY ORDER SIS-
TEN

One of the popular features Of the
American postal service is the
money order system. It has been in
operation now nearly seventeen
years. It has been tried fully and
is now indispensable. AS means
of accommodating or as a business
venture, its success has been nota,
bic. During the last fiscal year,
seven million of orders have been
issued, the amonnt of money thus
exchanged exceeding eight hundred
million dollars. This shows what a
great convenience it is to the people.
The fees received for these seven
million of orders amounted to
$917,071, while the cost to the
government was $659,516, leaving
a net profit on this branch of the
postal service of S257,572. This
shows that the system is managed
with great efficiency, or else it would
not be so general as it is
Its operations have been extended
to Switzerland, Great Britain, Ger,
many, Canada, Italy and France,
thus affording safe and convenient
mode of exchange between this and
foreign countries. No other mode
OF exchange presents itself that is so
convenient for persons sending
small amounts as this. It combines
safety, CELEBRITY and certainty of de-
livery. The safeguards thrown
around the transmission of money

brings to light the methods by
which free ballot and an honest
count are secured by the Demo-
Gratis in that locality. Fayette coun-
ty is in West Tennessee, adjoins
Shelby, and is in the Memphis Cons
gressional district. A majority OF
the voters of the county are Repub-
licans, a large proportion OF
them being colored men. The
scheme by which tie Republic
can candidates for Congress and
the legislature were to be defeated,
was comprehensive one, and would
do credit to the county OF Kemper
Or the city of Yazoo. This county
is just across the line from Missis-
sippi, and it is more than probable
that the gentlemen who had the
management of the Democratic eau
Gus, had been taking lessons from
their Mississippi brethren. It took
place some time ago, but has lost
none of it's freshness by the lapse OF
time, and many of our readers will
find it interesting.

noon what seem to be some points IN
the case. In reply to the question,
"In the event the government IS
able to procure evidence enough to
indict Brady, what will be your line
OF defense?" Mr.. Chandler replied:
cit is impossible to say until the
evidence is produced. There is
question of law lying underneath the
case, which 1 think settles it entire
| ly. There can be no element OF
legal wrong in these contracts
which the courts can inquire into after
Congress has, by it's special legisla-
ton regarding them, cured them OF
all infrmity. You know Congress
appropriated 81, 100000 to meet the
expenses of these expedited con
tracts, and before doing this it IN
vestigated each one of the contracts
and made the appropriation to carry
? them out upon the expedited prices
This was, in effect, to declare tc
Congress that the Post-Office Depart

A CORE. pondent of the Sun, who

long pole in his hand, reports Mark
as saying:

absurd to suppose that the tail ism t

you imagine that this comet could 60

ton 4 O'Clock express, start her off at
even forty miles an hour and see how
long your fog bank will travel in
company with your locomotive. Yet
they ask us to swallow this internal
nonsense about the comets tail. My
observations of this fellow, and also
of Coggia's comet, seven years ago
have convinced me that comets tails
are fastened on tight, and are of 6
fbrous and durable nature, like
Hartford beefsteak."

we can think of is one we mentioned

THE TAXATION OF PROPERTY.

There is nothing in which there is
O more universal interest than the
subject of the taxation of property.
And there are as many diverse opin-
ions on that subject as upon any
other, perhaps, which men are called
to consider How to tax property
so that taxation shall be equal and
uniform is one Of the questions
which political economists have dis
cussed ever since the world has had
a government, and they will con-
tinue to rack their brains upon it for
the centuries to come. The follow
ing is an idea expressed in the New
York Evening Post, which strikes us
as clear and able view of this veXed
question:
mo property should be heavily
taxed which has the power OF loco
motion. The art of taxation is no

Woman Suffrage in Wyoming.

Women in Wyoming have enjoy
ed all the political rights, privileges
and responsibilities of men for the
last eleven years. Not a single SOL
itary instance has ever occurred in
which the exercise of their rights
has been the least productive of any
evil results that we have heard of.
The women have not been degraded
or demoralized by it, nor has it re-
suited in any neglect of domestic
affairs, DR. created any domestic dis
cord. The women of Wyoming as
regularly vote as the men, and they
do not stay away from the polls as
much as the men do. But few wo-
men, as yet, have become office
seekers, notwithstanding that they
all, especially the better class of
ladies, take deep interest in politics.
The women generally vote for whom
they believe to be the best men, and
bolt bad nominations. - Laramie
