THE Post-ofice Department has begun
the payment of allowed claims of postmast.
ers who have suffered loss by fire or robbery.
So far nearly sixteen hundred claims, COW
ering period Of fifteen years, have been
received and examined. In many cases the
loss can not be ascertained, as the post
masters records were all destroyed, and
evidence has to be taken as to the probable
loss. Upon this the claim is allowed. The
largest number Of these claims are from the
West, especially those arising from robbery.
In Connecticut aud New York, however,
robberies reach large amount. Allowances
of these claims will probably not necessi-
tate additional appropriations, as in the past
years. Losses bysfre or robberies have been
deducted from the pay of postmasters and
the amount turned into the Treasury, where
It now remains.

REV. j. II. NEWMAN, of New York
City, saws: "There has been a belief in
spirits among all nations, and that there is
an intermediate state has been almost uni
versaly believed. In Bible times the two
worlds met. There was communication be-
tween them as there is now between New
York and London-not so frequently, of
course. II spirits exist the question comes
as to what form they have. In the first
place, say that wherever there have been
appearances the spirits have been in human
form. 1t is a physiological fact that the hui
man soul Is coextensive with the nervous
system. If you take away everything from
the body but the nervous tissues you still
have left the human form. Death is the evo-
luton of the soul out of this system of the
human body.'

There never was time since the organ
ization of the republican party in Maine
when there was more complete harmony
and 4 more resolute determination that sell
fish and personal considerations shall not
be allowed to govern the action or defeat
the unity OF those who have planted them
selves on the platform of an honest ballot,
sound tabulation, constitutional gov
eminent and prohibitory and civil service
reform in Maine. The grand popular and
representative uprising which the republi.
can convention at Portland Is conceded to
have been, has proved most inspiring
event to Maine republicans. The Plaisted
leaders counted on division in the republi.
can convention, and tangential movements
in the shape of Independent nominations.
But they observe enthusiasm and union
on this side the house, such as have not
been parallel since all differences were
muffied in 6l. The voters of Maine more
and more keenly feel the disgrace OF the
recent fusion State administrations. New
er has gubernatorial ticket ELECTED more
unanimous demonstrations among repub-
licans, and never was there more united
determination that the entire republican
ticket shall be carried next September, by
a round majority.
The republican platform is no mere rub.
bish of denunciation; but it is platform
OF positive principles dear 10 the heart OF
''the plain people" principles of prohib-
tory reform, of an honest ballot, Of pro-
lection Of American labor and American
commerce, of an honest currency, Of econ
omy In administration, of a judiciary that
is not tethered to executive apron strings,
and OF national deliverance from legalized
harems. The people in the "back-lots and
crossroads" are thinking these matters
over. This year they will vote after fuller
opportunities Of knowing what the issues
are, than ever before. Never before were
the republicans Of Maine organizing more
deliberately, to the end, that every voter
shall know the difference between Republi-
can principles, and those Dear Sam devil
ces, which as one fusionist pithily puts it,
are straps to catch flies, "-Le,oiston Jour
