The Postage stamp system.

In 1887, an obscure English school
master, Rowland Hill, published mon.
ograph on the reform of the postal sys-
tenn. In 1880 one Whiting had sug'
gested stamped wrappers for news,
papers, and, little later, Mr.. Charles
knight had urged the employment Of
stamped covers for letters, but neither
of these gentlemen had succeeded in at
tracing public attention. For carrying
a single sheet, weighing less than an
ounce, the charge was four pence for
any distance under fifteen miles, and
one shilling for three hundred miles.
The fragrant abuse of the franking sys-
tenn by Members of Parliament had long
since led to its curtailment. The collec-
tion of the postage was never-failing
source of trouble. 1t is a legend that
Hills attention was first called to
the necessity of reform by the singular
conduct of barmaid at an inn which
he frequented. This girl had lover in
a distant part of the country, who was
in the habit of writing to her; but it was
noticed by Hill that, after handling a
letter, she invariably refused to receive
it. On questioning her she confessed
that she knew of her lovers health by
the fact of his having written, and that
certain varied arrangements of the su-
prescription informed her briefly of
other matters which she desired to
know. Even as late as 1855 newspapers
were subject to tax, and, during this
time, were carried free of postage.
Therefore curious practice was sug-
gested by the extraordinary spirit OF
economy prevalent among even wealthy
Englishmen. He who desired to send q
letter, with great patience drew little
lines under successive letters in some
column of the paper, and he who re.
ceived the paper as patiently spelled out
the communication.
But, like all reformers, Hill was op
posed by pig-headed official routine
The Postmaster General declared in the
Upper House that of all the wild and
visionary schemes ever conceived by the
mind of man this was the most extraor.

1887, a member of the Lower House OBJ.

Of which he was made chairman, to in.

session of over two months, by the cast
ing vote of the chairman the uniform
rate of two pence was recommended
But not until a committee of merchants

over o quarter of a million of petitioners
had seriously espoused Hills cause was
the House of Commons convinced. This

The South American Republics

The unhappy Republics of South
America are, almost always, either in an
actual condition of revolution, or about
to be involved in internal disturbances.
In Ecuador, the only republic pre-
tending to civilization where religion is
test of citizenship, serious rebellion
has begun, having for its object the
overthrow of the Dictator, DR.. viente-
milla, who appears to have succeeded in
rendering himself as obnoxious as his
predecessor, Garcia Moreno, was. Un-
happy Peru, still in the clutches of
Chile, has been afflicted yet further by
the issue of several millions of dollars
worth of counterfeit bank notes. In
addition her distracted and peripatetic
authorities have their hands full in the
rising of the Indians in the interior.
1t is reported that this outbreak has
been suppressed, but the report is un-
doubtedly mistake. The great major
ity of the inhabitants of that country
are the Indians of the interior, who for
three hundred years have been awaiting
an opportunity to rise against the hated
whites; this opportunity has now come,
and it is extremely improbable that what
was Peru will succeed in re-assertine its
rule over the insurgents. Chill is a
prey to pestilence, which follows after
war, and brigands are as actice there as
in Sicily or in Greece. The lower class

white and Indian blood, has ALWAYS

Immigration.

The tables of statistical information
published by the authorities at Castle
Garden, New York, show great change
in the nationality of the foreign arriv-
ais. Ireland is no longer the country
from which the bulk of immigration
comes, and she now sends us fewer per-
sons than the island of Great Britain
does. Germany has sent nearly one
half of the entire number of foreigners
who have landed in New York since the
beginning of the year. Italy is coming
forward, and now sends nearly as many
as Ireland does, and an even greater
number comes from the countries col
lectively known as Scandinavia. The
immigration from Holland is twenty
times that from Belgium; four times as
many come from Hungary as from Aus
tria proper. And, what is stranger than
all, the French immigrants are outnum-
bered two to one by those from Switzer-
land, and, in nearly equal proportion, by
those from Bohemia.

THE Chandler Robson combination
has not been able as yet to organize its
grand raid npon the treasury of the
United States, but it is by no means dis
heartened. The gentlemen composing
the Naval Committee of the House of
Representatives propose to make tour
of the country, after the close of the
present session, with view of inspect
ing the different navy yards of the eoun-
try.
AS seven of the eleven gentlemen COM
posing the committee are Republicans,
and, therefore, in full accord with Mr..
Secretary Chandler, there does not seem
to be any pressing necessity for this ex-
penditure of the public money, except
for the purpose of enabling the commit
tee to enjoy pleasant summer jaunt to
the seaside resorts of the East and to
the wonders of this coast. If the com.
mittee is not sufficiently conversant al
ready with the condition of the navy,
and the causes which have brought
about that condition, they are the only
eleven individuals in the United State;
equally ignorant on the subject. Wer,
the committee to remain quietly at tn,
capital, and there 60 to work in an earn
est spirit of investigation, the result o
their deliberations might be of benefit tC
the nation. The voyage of discovery
proposed means only pleasure trip a
the expense of the government, and, OF
the part of its projectors, the commits
sion of petty larceny upon the unappro
priated millions in the vaults of the
treasury.

WHAT is sauce for the goose is not in
variably sauce for the other bird. AT
the time of the recent illness of Senator
Davis, while Senators could not be pre-
vailed upon to agree that the temporary
President should appoint another in his
place, it seems that they were also un-
willing to elect such representative.
1t would appear, however, that in de-
posing MIR. Bayard and electing Mr..

manifested its belief in the existence of
that right.

River and Harbor Appropriations.

WASHINGTON, June 10th. Represent
ative Page, in his report accompanying
the River and Harbor bill, says: The
bill deals literally with all such works
as will largely and generally facilitate the
commerce of the nation by opening the
great water ways of the country to free
navigation. The committee believe that.
at no time in the history of our govern
ment, have the people so unanimously
demanded of Congress more liberal ap-
preparations for rivers and harbors, and
that never in its history has any United
States treasury been in such condition
as to warrant large expenditure in this
direction for the public good; and that
tits of infinite Importance for the pro-
lection of the public from undue exac-
by the railroad companies that the great
national highways of commerce, the
rivers of the country, should be placed
in the best condition to compete with
them. The committee believe that it is
the desire of the people rather than to
reduce taxes upon the Injuries of life, as
has been contemplated by this House,
| that relief be given to them by large APP
preparations for internal improvements;
that the surplus revenues should be ex-
pended for the benefit of such sections
as are most in need Of such improve
ment, so that the long neglected indus
tries and commerce of the South may be
properly stimulated and those of all
other portions of the United States may
have needed relief"
According to Commissioner McFar
land, of the General Land Office, a
larger amount of public lands will have
been disposed of during the year ending
June 3Oth, 1882, than during any other
year since the establishment of the Gen
eral Land Office.
