Another step has been taken toward the de-
slrable end of securing standard time through
ont the country. The House committee, it is
understood, will report favorably on the bill
appropriating $50, 900 to enable the Secretary
of the Navy to send to maritime cities and the
larger inland towns the standard Washington
time every day at noon. 1t may not be that
such thing as an international standard of
time can ever be established, so that people all
over the world can be exactly punctual, and this
would hardly be desirable; but there is much
to be said in favor of widespread correctness III
time for ourselves. The country might he well
divided into zones of an hour each. One of the
most conspicuous practical advantages would
be seen in the more exact running of railway
trains Connecticut has g standard time, and
requires all railroads to use it. The results are
said to be most satisfactory.

More money for the Bridge! The Board OF
Trustees yesterday resolved that the people of
New-York and Brooklyn should stand and de-
liver a cool million and quarter before the
structure over the East River can be com
pleted A good many dates for opening the
bridge to the public have been fixed, appar-
emily for the amusement of taxpayers, on the
theory that a few harmless promises would
keep them quiet. The last definite day selected
was some time in September, 1880. After that
the trustees gave it up for while; now they
have decided on March 81, 1888. The total cost
by that time, if it is not increased, will hot be
far from sixteen millions.

that the nearness of danger will serve as a

There are several acts of the Legisla-

that the year closes Dec. 81, 1882, and
that the statistics should be gathered inn

into which it is churned. This stuff

is sought for, because the finer the
quality the further it will go and the
more butter flavor it will give. The
sale of this butterine is largely in
creasing, particularly at the West.
and consumers are said to be salts
fed with it. Undoubtedly, if prop
erly made, it is superior to a poor
dairy article, and, if correctly labeled,
SO that people may know what they
are buying, there is no special OBJ
lection to its sale. But dairymen
need not feel discouraged; there will
always be demand enough for the

TWO CENT POSTAGE.

It looks as if the recommendation
of President Arthur for a two cent
rate on letters would be adopted.
The Providence Journals Wash
ington correspondent says:
Representative Hill, the champion
of cheap postage, speaking of the
chances of the two cent postage bill
meeting with favor in the Senate,
told your correspondent to-day that
he had no doubt of its passage there,
although he had heard that one or
two Senators doubted the propriety
of making the reduction.-Now that
the recent vote in the House shows
how unanimous the Representatives
of the people are for the measure, it
is hardly probable that the Senate
will oppose the popular will. Not
only the public generally, but all the
officials of the postoffice department
are heartily in favor of the measure.
AS to the probability of the reduction
causing a decrease in the postal rev.
enues, Mr.. Hill believed the increase
of correspondence and business of
the department would make up the
deficiency even more quickly than the
friends of. the proposition believe.
Mr.. Hill is the father of the postal
card business in this country. He it
was who introduced the bill in Con-
gress making them legal. In the
arguments favoring that measure, il
was estimated that an average of one
hundred million postal cards would
be sent through the mails in the
course of the year. The returns fol
the last year show that $50, 100000
| were sold

CHRISTMAS.

Merry Christmas to all our readers
This is the glad day when every heart
ought to rejoice and every soul give
thanks for the advent of a Saviour.
There is not person in all Christen-
dom who should not be better and
happier for the blessings that have
come for the setting up of Christ's
Kingdom in the earth, poorly as it is
set up IN the hearts of men. Wher-
ever the gospel of glad tidings has
been preached the reign of darkness,
paganism and sorrow has faded away
and light, liberty and love have gain
ed supremacy. Not alone that this
is holiday, when friends may as
semble together; when young hearts
are made glad by visible tokens of
esteem; when benevolence seeks out
the needy and the suffering, and the
poor are relieved temporarily from
pinching want, but that it is the day
called the birthday of Christ. The
uncertainty in regard to the precise
day when Jesus was born, does not
detract from the Importance of the
event. That he was born, lived to
do a work of miracles and of love,
'swas crucifed, dead and rose again, .
is a fact so we'll established that all
the skepticism and denials of eighteen
centuries have not SHAKEN the faith
of nearly the whole Christian world
in regard to that fact. Tt is becom-
ing that some day should be set apart
as day of commemoration of the
advent of the Messiah, and that all
should celebrate with joyful hearts
and appropriate exercises. Let those
in whose hearts the kingdom of our
Lord is set up rejoice and be glad, and
let the whole world unite in the jubi-
lee of JOY.

THE WORLDS GRANARY.

! The following from a Russian
grain merchant is very significant:
Notwithstanding a very good grain
crop this year we have now decided
crisis in the grain market. The Uni
tied States has squarely beaten us in
the European market. Henceforth
America is to be the undisputed gran
airy of the world" Until quite recent
ly the Russian grain merchants
believed that their country would
become the granary of Europe, if not
of the world. They are now unde-
ceived. The control of the European
grain market in the last five years
has been quietly transferred across
the Atlantic. The Russians expected
this year 1877 100000 bushels of
grain, 76, 900, 900 more than the whole
export of last year. Still, according
| to their confession, the Russian farm
ers and grain dealers, and the public
at large, are panic-stricken. Their
whole system of agriculture has been
undermined by cheap grain from
America. The recent report of the
Royal Agricultural Commission for
Great Britain shows scarcely better
state of things, and that the state
and prospects of British agriculture
are anything but encouraging. About
One-half of the wheat consumed in
England is of foreign growth, while
in the last century there was large
expectation of wheat from that coun-
try. The surplus wheat crop of the
United States is enough for the entire
consumption of Great Britain, and
it can be delivered III London at
prices so low as to ruin the English
farmer. The report of the Royal
Commission presents detailed state
ments of farm accounts that are
exceedingly disheartening. If we
turn to the latest estimates of the
grain crop for the present year in the
i, United States we learn that the corr
2 crop is estimated at $50, 200, 00(
S bushels against l ,194 ,916, 900 bushels
in 1881. The wheat crop is 00,00l
900 bushels against $50, 280,090 il
1881. The value of domestic export
for the fiscal year ending June 80
1882, was 1888, 239, 1856. The in
: crease of agricultural products in te
" years, from 1870 to 1880, was nearl
e 100 per cent. Such a country fo
N grain and many other things as til
l. United States is not to be foun
- every day.

The New York Herald has this to
say for President Arthur: PERSIST
ent misrepresentation of his acts and
motives has led Mr.. Arthur to show
in this part of his message, that he

wise candid reformers to study these
figures; they will see that both Mr..
Hayes and Mr.. Garfield made more
removals from Office than Mr.. Arthur.
Since the adjournment of congress.
last August, there were no removals
in Pennsylvania, and only one in

for years past appears to have shown
