Dodge City with a shipment of beeves, and
were returning through Clark county. In
the outfit was Richard Bell, colored man
in the employ of the Pool. Monday night
another negro, known us Bill Frazier, Went
to the camp and became engaged in a dis
pute with Bell. 10. Bowers told Frazier
to leave the camp. He mounted his horse.
rode up TO Bell and shot him through the
head, killing him instantly, and then rode
away. The body of Belt was taken to
Evansville and buried. Messengers were
sent to notify officers at Dodge City and
other points to be on the lookout for the
murderer. The Comanche Pool then off

Reduction Of Letter Postage. :

The friends of cheap letter postage will
strive, at the coming session of Congress, to
secure the reduction of letter postage to two
cents. Representative Hill of New Jersey,
perhaps ambitious to deserve the name he
bears, is an earnest friend of the proposed
reduction. Saturday last Mr.. Hill had an
interview with the Postmaster General and
urged him, in the annual report, now pre-
pairing, to advise the reduction. What rec
omm. ndation Mr.. Howe will make it is of
course, impossible to say. 1t is understood,
however, thaat he fea~s the proposed meas
ure would seriously diminish the revenues
OF the Department and require larger ap-
preparations than Congress would be willing
to grant. In conversation with a reporter
of theNew York Tribune, the third assis-
tant postmaster general Mr.. Hazen, re-
niar6ed that the decrease of the revenue,
not taking into account any increase of bus
iness caused by the reduction of the letter
rate would not exceed $10,000,000 year.
That estimate also is probably too great, for
1t does not take into account the steady and
rapid increase of the postal revenues
due TO the growth of the coun-
try and expansion of the business.
Assuming this growth to be at the rate of 10
per cent a year, the estimate of deficiency
of $4,000, 900 for the first year on account
of a reduction of the letter rate to 2 cents
would be reduced to 100000, even if the
volume of correspondence should not be
augmen'ed by reduction of the rate.
The proposition which the Postmaster
General is said to regard with favor, to sails
fly the demand for cheaper postage by fur
nishing stamped letter envelopes at the same
price for which stamps alone are sold, is
treated with considerable levity by the
friends of postage reduction, who declare
that such concession, slight enough in it
self, would mainly benefit not the great
mass of the people, who average perhaps
two or three letters month each, but the
comparatively few whose postage accounts
amount to large sum every year. Ifthree-
cent stamped envelopes were sold at the
same rate as three-cent stamps the saving to
the purchaser would be one cent on five let
ters, instead OF l cent on each letter as the
friends of cheap postage propose. 1t is un-
derstood that the First Assistant Postmas-
ter-Geperal, Mr.. Hatton, is inclined to favor
the reduction of the letter rate to 2 cents to
take effect July 1, 1888.

have been the lot of the four persons found ly-
ing on their backs in the street. Three of
these were men, one of them negro of the
most pronounced type. The fourth was wo-
man Of unusual stature. whose time for becom-
ing mother was evidently not far off. The
three persons found lying on their faces do
not appear to have foun quite so quick
death. Two of them are women. One of
these, an elderly woman, with
thin figure, llies by herself, her face
buried in her arms, as if to protect herself
from the fatal rain. The other lies side by
side with man in whose company she appears
to have taken flight. She has covered her
face with fold Of her dress, and the hands
are tight clenehed in the last death agony.

WITH three counties estimated, the COM
plete vote of New York is now at hand.
The majority for Cleveland is only 1893 ,991.
Including the Prohibition vote, the sggre-
gate is 906,597, against 1,105,2 ,226 in 1880.
Folger's vote is S42,3 1903 or 213,241 less than
Garfield received, while Clevelands vote is
536, ,a04, or only 1888 more than HANCOCK
had. These figures show that the Demo
Gratis have made -AAss-ssiui gam, that COM
paratively few Republicans voted for Cleve-
land, and that the result was brought about
by the -aae,o 900 Republicans who refused to
vote at all.

II is not surprising to hear that Mr.. Glad
stone is thinking of surrendering the Chan
cellorship of the Exchequer and of content
ing himself with discharging the duties
which properly belong to the Premiership.
There are not many men who would not
find, though in the maturity of their powers.
that they had all they could do in filling
either of those two great positions. But Mr..
Gladstone has a passion for hard work, and
sometimes offends his ministerial colleagues
by his anxiety to give his personal supervi-
sion to the entire machinery OF the govern
ment. Age will tell, however, and as Mr..
Gladstone will be seyenty-three next month,
it is about time that he should discontinue
doing more than one mans work.

sent his prayers in the cart" They were

EX-GOVERNOR ALFRED H. CoLQUITT, who
win represent Georgia in the Senate, is not
yet sixty years old, having been born in
1928, yet he will find himself in one respect
the senior of all his fellow members either
of the House or Senate. His Congressional
experience dates back to 1858, when he rep
resented Georgia in the House for a single
term. Returning now, thirty years later,
he will not find one Senator or Representa-
tive who was in Congress with him at that
time, or who can point to an earlier period
OF service. The single member of the pres,
ent House who could do this, Hon. Alexan-
der Fl. Stephens, has been already trans
ferred to another scene of public life. Han
nibal Hamlin, who was a Senator from
Maine even that early, retired last year
Among Governor Colquitt's associates in
the Thirty-third Congress were the late Hon.
John W. Forney, then clerk of the House;
A. H. Stephens, Thomas A. Hendricks, N.
P. Banks, John G. Breckenridge, Galusha
A. Grow and Andrew johnson, who were
his fellow-members in the House, and Ste
phen A. Douglas, Salmon P. Chase, Benja-
min Wade, William H. Seward, Charles
Sumner and Robert Toombs among the
shining lights of the Senate in that former
generation which Governor Colquitt serves
to connect with the present.

THE Indian Commissioner did well to is
sue stringent prohibition of any mercan-
tile exchanges being effected between the
suffers and storekeepers who accompany the
army of laborers at work on the Northern
Pacific Railroad and the residents of the
Flathead Indian reservation in Montana,
through which the line is carried. Such ex-
changes would consist for the most part in
the sale of bad whiskey, and as the iat-head-
ed Indians, despite the fact that their occi-
puts are level on the top, have very little
sense, and an inordinate appetite for liquor,
the consequences attending the distribution
among them of the beverage which cheers
but does inebriate would in all probability
be disastrous. An Indian who is full of
whiskay is an extremely pagnacious animal,
and when he wants to fight he is not wont to
put any restraint upon his inclination.
There would have been trouble had the
Commissioner not taken his precautions.

THE Toronto Globe says that one of the
questions put TO the candidates at recent
examination for the civil service held in
that city was: "a man left $4,000 by his
will, the sum to be divided between his two
sons, one of whom was to receive $1,000
more than the other" The question was
"toe hard' for the applicants. Every one
of them answered that the one son was to
receive $11 900 and the other $4,000.
