The Dominion of Canada has done a neigh
borly thing which, at least, the Post Office
Department in this country will appreciate
and which will put an end to the clever eva
siOns through which money has been saved by
certain publishers on this side of the boundary
line. The postal laws of Canada Qf we may
he so unpatrotic as to say iD are more liberal
than ours, and publishers of bulky trade pub
hcations especially have been i'll the habit OF
sending tons of matter, printed here, to
Canada, whence it was sent by post back to
the United States at lower rates than it could
be distributed when mailed here. Thus the
publishers have kept out of the hands of our
postal authorities many just spoils, and have
taken a mean advantage of Canadian liberality.
This practice is now to be stopped, and GER
tain advertising sheets and other printed mat
ter published here, or purporting to be pub
lished here, and to he circulated in the United
States. are to be charged a rate equivalent to
the domestic postage imposed under our laws

It is damaging to the high reputation for in
telligence and good sense which members of

1t is hardly worth the while of any repre-
sentative of this Government to take offence
at articles which publishers of newspapers in
the country i'll which he is stationed may print
about the United States and DR.. Logan, at
Guatemala, if the reports can be believed
showed over -sensitlveness in complaining
about the slurs which the editor of El POr-
renir chose to amuse himself with. The feel
ings of the United States are really not
deeply wounded by such sentiments DR.. Lo-
gan, however, can hardly be blamed because
President Barrios locked up the editor and
suspended the publication. If the Minister
was too quick to take offence, the President
was foolish. In these days such interference
with the press in republics is worse than
danger ous-it is silly.

The French Senate has decided by vote of
1877 to 1913 that it will not allow schoolmastcrs
to teach the pupils their "duty toward God
and their country" Considering the ideas
that have sometimes prevailed in France con-
cerning ones duties toward God and ones
country, and the experience which the ration
has suffered in consequence this action OF the
Senate is hardly to be wondered at.

DR.. Lamson, the American now on trial III
London for the murder Of his brother-in-law,
Percy NJ. John, have adopted suggests pos
sible solution of the singular mystery when
surrounds this case. The prosecution has been
weak in one point, being obliged to admit that
the symptoms of aconitine poisoning are prac-
tically unknown; and the theory of the de-
fence now is that the young man died rron
the effects of pressure on the arteries caused
by curvature of the spine.
1t would probably be difficult to find anyone
who has spent much time on the kiviera VINO
would disagree with the views when MI
Hassard. in his letter, takes of Mentone-the
warmest nook in the South of France. Many
visitors have fallen in love with the place at
first sight and have never varied in their de-
votion unless the wicked attractions at Monte
Carlo have led them astray. And those who
have wavered for little while have generally
returned to their first love if only they have
saved enough money from the gambling
tables to pay their fare.
1t is stated in our cable dispatche from
England that the committee of the Lords will
proceed with the inquiry concerning the
Land Act, despite the attitude of the Govern
ment and the action of the Liberal majority );
but that it will be prudent in in its proceed
ings. 1t does indeed seem likely that the
Lords will act cautiously, for Mr.. Gladstone.
or any other man in his position, has at his
command means more powerful than he has
yet used of compelling the Peers to refrain
from trying to thwart the will of the people
as expressed 10y their representatives. And
Mr.. Gladstone has the requisite nerve to act
if it should become necessary. History would
only be reneatel.

The New York Public shows in its ad-
mirable resume of prices that man can
Inv about as much for dollar now as vas
possiblea year ago-the irst time this has
beef, true during year in which prices ior
the things everyone wants have slowly
risen, reached their highest last May, aud
have now receded to the level Of last DC
tober. 1t is still true that man earning
500 week cannot buy any more with IL
than he could on $3.50 in July OF 1851 OF
nesrly atoffSsoor 1879, or on .Si6lo IN
ISIS: but he is now better off than $40
would have made him last January. The
change this aheration makes in the com
fort Of people is very great. The extra u
in every $50. which it cost to live on inc
usual scale as compared with prices now
stands silh nearly everyone for an appre-
ciable sense OF freedom in ones daily HE,
and its addition to the free buying capacity
of the community is very great.
If itwere not for the high price OF corn
and its influence on the price OF meat We
should be passing through a pretty cheap
season. Since their highest point IN May
and June last dairy and grain have drop,
ped, one fifth and the other sixth, and
while we are not back 10 the cheap prices
OF two years ago, they are close at hand
Meat hangs stubbornly at the price to
which short supply forced it, and but
title change can be expected before next
spring, perhaps next summer. Clothing IS
as cheap as it was before the war;" but no
chearer than it was last February, when
food was SO high, for, as every one knows,
while q year Of dear food, 1882 has been

or to live in one. The great mass OF things
which are sold wholesale, however-iron
cotton, cloth and so on-hang on about the
same, with the significant change that IN
iron the manufactured article has fallen
and the raw material has not.

The annual revenue of the Postoflice

For the fiscal year ending June 80, 1871,
it was S2O,O37, O+5; for the last fiscal
year it was 81, $40, 40. For the three
preceding years the average annual in-
crease of revenue was about three mill
lions of dollars; the gain of last year
over that preceding was over five mill
lions, and the department bases its es;i-
mates on the maintenance of that rate
of increase, the receipts for the fiscal
year ending in 1881 being placed at So
G7O, $50. The revenue Of the department

Federal Interference.
Washington Post.


Ithas not been denied, nor can any man
truthfully deny, that numerous executive
acts have been performed by heads OF de-
partments for the purpose Of influencing
the pending of elections in several States.
These acts include discharges from and ap'
continents to office, and disbursements Of
large sums of public money. We do not
mean that this money had been wrongfully
obtained, bat we do assert a well-known
fact that heavy expenditures have been di.
rected with view to their effect on the
prospects of certain candidates that the
time, place and amount of these expendi-
lures have been determined with reference
to partisan considerations, and not with a
view to the promotion of the objects for
which Congress appropriated the money.
All this interference with State elections
is as clearly and dangerously violative OF
the spirit OF the constitution as nullitica'
ton would bc.

which they have already duly certified To

may not take advantage OF the irregularities

Of the precincts Of Pendleton and Hardy

CnlV elected by the County Courts o.

any form oE law in such cases had been
complied with. Let il be understood that
Mr.. Wilson's election stands on just such
Him>y grounds as this.-Gr!ttoR Sca:ilsi.
Ii Is not a matter of much conSe-
Vuence as to whether it was the chief
or his lieutenant who sent the visiting
Statesmen to PendletOn. But it is
matter ofsOme significance as to what
they discovered. 1t is scarcely worth
while for the Sentinel to attempt to be-
cloud Mr.. WILSON'S title to a seat in
Congress by mere insinuatiOns. He
was either elected or he was not. He
either received majority of the votes,
or he did not. The official returns GER
tify that he was elected and did receive
a majority of the votes.
Now if the Sentinel or any other
authority has any evidence that the
official certificates are a fraud it is COM
petent for them to show it. They need
not hide their light under bushel. Let
it shine for the public, for the public is
just incredulous enough to doubt and
disbelieve any such professions or put
faith in any such insinuations a. that
Mr.. MASON has proof, or even l. reason
able belief, that he, and not Mr.. WILL
son, was elected and yet will not come
out and produce the proof. We happen
to know all about that mares nest in
Pendleton, and we don't scare worth
cent.
But more than this, we have reason

OsteRsibly given up the election aud
conceded it to Mr.. WILSON, and while
-cuItivating the enviable public inn
preston that he would rather be right
than Congressman, he has at the same
time left nothing undOne that a shrewd
politician might do to lay the basis for
a contest with Mr.. WILSON for his seat,
and unless the elections tomorrow
should disappoint him in the complex
ion ofthe next House of Representa-
tiyes, he will doubtless be there at the
opening OF the next Congress, asking to
be assigned a seat in that body.
1t is all very right that when a man
believes himself TO be entitled to an
Office by the free expression of the
voters at the ballot-box, that be should
assert that right. 1t is all very wrong
that man should be allowed to hold
an office to which he has no such right,
and we hope it may never occur in
