A Hill Gusher,

Somebody-whose name 1t would not be
hard to guess-sends the Jackson Republi-
can glowing account of the Republican
speaking here. The article does not deal
with the low, common things said by Hill,
but lauds his speech to the skies. Hear him
gush:
Mr.. Hill commenced his speech in calm
self-possessed manner; all he said seemed to
meet the approval of the assemblage. At
times he was quite eloquent and drew re-
peated cheers from the audience. His speech
clearly demonstrated that he had the abili-
ty and political information to make a use
ful and creditable representative.

POSTAL AFFAIRS.

The vigorous war inaugurated against
crooked contractors for star route mail
delivery by ex-Postmaster General
James, during the few months Of his in
cumbency, and the subsequent action in
the matter by Attorney General Brews-
ter, has drawn the attention OF the peo-
pie to that department of the govern
ment. In reviewing the postmaster gen.
erals report, the Pail Mall Gazette draws
a comparison between postal affans in
Great Britain and the United States.
1t says: Enormous as the business
of the United States is, and large as is
the postotfice revenue, this department
of the federal government does not pay
its way. For the last fiscal year the gross
revenue was ct, 357, 900 and the expendi-
ture ct, $4,000 so that the deficiency
was nearly 100000. To that extent the
United States pOstoffice is a burden
upon the general taxation With rev.
enue of about the same amount the
English postoffice department gives net
profit to the nation of nearly G3, 900, 900
per annum. It would be quite that but
for the heavy cost of the Indian and
China mail services, which are over-sub-
sidized. This is, moreover, exclusive of
the telegraph revenue, which is now
sufficient to pay the interest npon the
capital expended in the purchase and
extension of our inland telegraph sys-
TEN. SO great contrast naturally sug-
gests inquiries as to the cause. They
lie IN a manner on the surface, and are
clearly expounded by Mr.. james, the
United States postmaster general, in his
report. The deficits are chiefly the re-
suit of frauds upon the department.. In
the early days of the postoffice, and down
to 1851, the federal government followed
the wise plan Of making the department
self-supporting, but since that date it
has been the victim of organized gangs
of robbers, who by "lobbying" and
other disgraceful practices got congress
to pass extravaganza mail contracts, prin-
cipally Tor routes through the unknown
and unpeopled wilds of the west To
such an extent had these frauds gone by
1861 that the postofice deficit in that
year reached 60, $50, 900 pounds, and al
though the west has been opened up by
railways since then to an extent that has
replaced the old " star" routes-or
routes through regions so unknown that
the mail drivers had only the stars to
guide them in their course-the mischief
still continues" The Gazette then saws
the investigation into the alleged frauds
should be continued, and al unnecessary
expenditure cut off so that the depart
ment may be self sustaining.

eign substances that are added in pro-
portion of or at most 3 per cent. to
solidify the petroleum. The reporter of
the st. Petersburg paper saw the pro-
duct; he says it is of a wine-yellow color,
and has the consistency of very stiff gel
atine; it can be kneaded with the fingers
like wax. and is yet somewhat breakable.
A small piece of the thickness of lead
pencil, and about an inch long could be
lit at one end and held with the fingers.
It melted like wax, and it was only after
a little while, when hot drops ran down,
that the flame had to be blown out.
The danger of fire is considerably less
than with liquid petroleum. The pro-
duct can be easily hquefied when re-
quired by the addition of vinegar, and
the process is rapid. The vinegar in
time separates out below and the petro-
leum above. 1t is not stated whether
the same vinegar can be used repeatedly.
1t appears that the higher and low
boiling hydrocarbons III crude naphtha
are not affected by the solidifying
agent, in which case the costly appa-
ratus for fractional distillation might be
dispensed with. The advantages of
solid petroleum would be peculiarly felt
in regions like the Caucasus, where the
naphtha industry suffers through the
dearth of suitable wood for barrels.
