The enterprise OF shipping dressed beef from
Chicago TO the eastern cities in refrigerator cars,
TO which We have heretofore adyerted, seems to
yield satisfactory results to those engaged in IT.
So Well does 1t promise, furthermore. that Chicago
capitalists are now building 4 large refrigerator
building In New York for the storage and dStribu-
ton OF such shipments, At present IL Is said the
business OF shipping beef in this manner is con-
fined to three firms who forward forty car loads,
or fifteen hundred dressed beeyes, per day, but
others tempted by the profits it promises are pre-
pairing to embark in 1t and extend IL until all the
principal places east OF the mouta1ns supplied
In this way. 1t Is claimed that the meat when it
reaches its destination Is fresh and sweet as
when 1t left the saughter-houSe, and that at no
distant day the west Twill supply the eastern
cities with meats at from eight TO twelve cents a
pound less than they now pay" IL this be true,
all Chicago has TO do is TO send forward the beef.

Letter Postage.

The signs OF the times at Washington
point TO the reduction Of letter postage
this winter from three cents per hali-ounce
TO two cents per half-ouncc. This Is a
measure TO which nobody will object. 1T
is defensiblc on every ground. The Post
master-General's suggestion that stamped
envelopes should be sold at the price OF
stamps is as good a one now that postage
is to he reduced to two cents on single
letter as il was when it was expected that
the rate OF postage would he continued ut
three cents per half-ounce. As he very
well said. the people who most need to be
assisted in the matter Of writing aud send
ing letters to their friends-who most
need the educating and eleyating influence
of epStolary intercourse-arc the very
people who, purchasing but one envelope
and one stamp at time, viii, unless re-
lieyed, still under the new law have to
pay three cents for each letter forwarded
through the mails.
Why make two bites at a cherry Why
insist upon getting back the minute frac-
ton Of a ctni which an envelope costs the
Government, when the poor sewing-girl,
mechanic, or laborer, has TO pay whole
cent for that same enyelopeY The cnyc-
lopes do not cost one-Gfth of 4 cent apiece.
Oh, let them be sold, already stamped, for
two cents each, and let dead-leticrs 90 out
OF fashion. Let every envelope have
printed upon it, "ii not delivered within
ten days. return 10 -" So shall the
dead-lctter office become useless.
Besides, this reduction will help very
much in the matter Of causing people TO
use sealed envelopes instead Of postal
cards. The convenience Of using the
postal cards causes thousands and tens OF
thousands OF them to he used by persons
who would seldom or never Use them again
il for ten cents they could get five stamped
envelopes, or for two cents could get one
such envelope. Stamped envelopes would
become rs common a. postal cards now are.
They would he dealt out TO ones friends
as freely, and would yield to the Govern
ment twice Us much revenue. Their use,
too, might save a good deal of valuable
time now wasted by the postal officials who
have TO find out whether The postal cards
put into the post-oiiicc can DC allowed 10
pass through the mails.

Snow and Street-Cars.

hardly be capaclous enough to hold the

4 TRAIN ENGlNERR KNOCKED DOWN BY THE
Go0sE-SECK or wATER-PIPE.
PITTsBURG, December IA thrilling
adventure occurred n short distance up the
Western Pennsylvania railroad this morn
ing. The engineer Of one OF the early
morning passenger trains coming into Al
leghcny was looking out Of his window
back. toward the end OF his train, which
was booming along at it, regular high
speed the fireman was out ahead on the
engine, shining up some part ~ the To-
connective; the fireman saw nothing
amiss until the train reached and ratified
over Pine Creek bridge, which is known
10 be RATHER unsafe 10 cross ut high speed.
IL Is therefore the custom 20 " slow up +"
in crossing 1t. Noticing that this necessa-
~ action had been ignored by the engineer,
the fireman, somewhat alarmed, passed
back into the cab OF the engine, where he
found the engineer lying prone upon the
floor Of the little box I'm "a semi-unconscious
condition. The fireman assumed control
Of the engine at once. and in few mo-
ments the engineer, upon coming TO his
senses, explained that he had been struck
on the head by the "goose-neck" OF a
watering-pipe, which had been carelessy
swung around so that ii projected too close
to the track. He had received severe
cash on the head, and had been stunned
by the shock and felIed to the floor. Very
Few persons were the wiser OF the mishap

At a reception to Governor Cleveland
given recently by the Manhattan o'uo
(the great Democratic club oil New iork)
the new Democratic Executive OF that
State made very excellent speech IN
reply to the address OF welcome by Mr..
vanderpoel, the president. In the course
OF Mr.. CIeyeland's remarks he said:
have read and heard much OF late
toucbino the great responsibility which
has been cast upon me, and IL II certainty
predicated upon the fact tlat my Ihaloin!
was so large rs to indicate that many Nv,
members OF the party to when am prouu
10 belong supported NE. Goa Knows NV ~,
fully appreciate the responslDii,y VI vi,
high office to which have been calico, anu
how much sometimes fear that snail hot
bear the burden well. Ii has seemed 10
me, however, that the citizen VINO Iias
been chosen by his fellows 10 uiscnarSc
public duties owes no less nor more 10 thenh,
whether he was elected by small OF q
large majority. In either event ne
owes to the people who have honorou
him his best endeay or to protect their rights
and further their interests. But II IL Is
merely intended TO remind lne that as a
member OF party, attached to It's primer
pies and anxious for It's continued suprein-
acy, my conduct should he such as TO give
hope and confidence TO those who are sure
ly with Us, | have TO say that Tins RESPONSE
bility should be shared by all the member,
OF the party. An administration Is only
successful. in a partisan sense, when II al'-
pears to be tlVyytgrow'h and result OF par
ty principles Mad methods. You who lead,
and other, who follow, should all strive to
commend 10 the people in this the time
OF our opportunity not an administration
alone. but a party which shall appear ade-
quatc TO their wants and useful 10 their
purposes. The timc-honored doctrines OF
the Democratic party are dear 10 me. III
honestly applied in their purity know the
affairs of the Government would be lifting
" and honestly administered, and believe
that all the wants and needs OF the people
would be met. They have survived all
changes, and good and patriotic men have
clune 10 them through all disasters as the
hope OF political salvation. Let us hold
them as a sacred trust, and let Us not
forget that an intelligent, reading, think
ing people will look to the palty
which they put in power to sup
Div all their various needs and wants, and
the party which keeps pace with the deyel-
opnent and progress Of the time, which
keep. in sight IT, landmarks and vet OBJ

and which will continue true TO the people

dominant party OF the future. In conclu-
sion. may bcspeak for myself your kind

81, 800, 1850; and this with the amount
previously expended will make about the
sum that Baltimore has had up TO this time.
What advantage Las Baltimore over
Richmondt None except what the Fedc-
raj Government has given her by deepen
Ing the approaches to her harbor, and what
che has derived from the railroads which
Mr.. Garrett has MIXED dry and kept poor
In order TO bring trade to her doors. Bal
timore Is 173 miles from the capes OF VII
ginia: Richmond Is 1877. But Baltimore
has now twcnty-four feet Of water up to
and within her harbor; and Richmond has
only about sixteen feet. That gives hos
tile railroads an excuse to 60 around Rich
mond 223 miles further by one route, and
through Richmond 373 miles further by
another, to city with no natural ad'an-
sages whatever. AS being further nortn
than Richmond, and making longer line
to the Pacific, over worse grades, Balti-
more l. not rs fayorably situated as Kich-
mond. In topography, climate, ana wafer
power, Baltimore Is far behind, whether
we consider capacity for commerce, snip
building, or manufactures.
And on this showing, which cannot be
successfully contradicted, the representa-
tivcs Of Virginia, II united, determined,
prudent, and shrewd. ought to get the
money necessary to put Richmond on a
level with other cities which have had Fede-
raj aid. That much is her due. She should
ask no more, and take no less.
May Il not be hoped, Mr.. Editor, that in
view OF these facts you will lend your ac-
tive aud influential aid to setting forth the
claims Of Richmond 10 speedy and prac-
teal recognition Of her full rights and to an
examination and statement OF her superior
advantages on the best Atlantic terminus
Of the southern Pacific line? Ii there he a
national work OF this character in the
United States 1 think il is The city OF Rich
mond. r. G.. X.
