PosToFFIcE RULING.

First Assistant Postmaster General Hat
ton decides that magazines intended for
campaign circulation and containing adver-
| tisements must pay postage at the rate of
three cents an ounce, unless it appears
that the actual subscription list would sup
port the magazine without such adver-
tisements. In this event the publication
would fall within second class matter. 1t
is held that campaign publications are in
one sense educational in character, and
therefore second class matter; but If adver-
tisements form the principal part of the
publication it loses its character, becomes
simply business adjunct and third class
matter

THE MASON COURT MARTIAL.

In the Mason court martial the Court
ordered subpenaes issued for s. G. Robin
son, late Major of the Seventh Ohio Vol
unteers. 1t is the intention to show by
this witness that Mason served with this
regiment bravely and faithfully, and was
severely wounded, after which there was a
marked change in his temperament and
disposition.
Woodman, turnkey at the jail, described
Guiteau as quaking with fear after the bal
let entered the window. Hc. described the
perforation made by the missile in the as
sassin's coat as it hung against the wall of
the cell.

SURPRISE.

WAsH1ReToN, Feb. 24.-Ehe nomination
| Of Conkling created quite stir in the SEN
| ate, as it was entirely unexpected, and the
Senators freely expressed their surprise.
The indications are that he win be confirm
| ed unanimously. Sargent's friends main
tanned till the last that he would be made
| Secretary of the Interior. Kirkwood's s
| friends have been working industriously
in his behalf Of late, though he has not
made a single movement for himself.
There is talk Of probability of Conkling's
declination, as it is said he was not com
municated with on the subject. 1t is be-
lieved that if he declines Senator Edmunds
will be appointed.
The nomination Of Sargent is regarded
as settling the fact that Kirkwood remains
at the head of the Interior Department.
NOMINATIONS.
The President has nominated Roscoe
Conkling, of New York, Associate Justice
of the Supreme Court of the United States;
a. A. Sargent, of California, Minister to
Germany.
| CoNKLING's NOMINATION IN EXECUTIVE sEs-
SION.
When the nomination of ex-senator
Conkling as Associate Justice of the Su-
preme Court was read in executive session
this afternoon, motion was made to take
it up for immediate confirmation. Senator
Hoar thsreupon took the floor and warmly
said that while he conceded Conkfing's
great abilities, and that 10 man since Web
ster had surpassed him in intellect
ual force, he believed Conkling had used
his powers for bad purposes, and he did
not believe him honest. His elevation to
the supreme bench, said Hoar, with great
excitement Of manner and pounding his
desk with emphasis, would be q Disgrace
to the judicial ermine, and he therefore
interposed objection to present eonsidera-
ton, and insisted it should take the regular
course of reference to the Judiciary Com
mittee. A single objection being sufficient
to prevent immediate consideration the
nomination was accordingly referred to
that committee under rules, without an op-
portunity for debate or reply to Hoars
remarks

The Republican party has already con-
donsd all the crimes of Keller and set him
up for reelection, and We shall soon know
ifit proposes to be az lenient TO the high
priest Of misruIe and corruption whom
Keifer served. Robson is q candidate for
denomination, and there is q direct issue in
his district, as there was in Keifer's, on his
personal record. The point is made that it
will disgrace the Republican party to re-
turn him to Congress, but the Republican
party is not often concerned about such
diSgrace.-.S. Louis Republican,.
What is true of KEIFER and ROBE
SON is true Of the party of which they
were the acknowledged leaders in Con-
gress. If their personal record is at
issue, so also is the record Of their
party. They led and the party followed.
The record. of the leaders of party and
the record of the party itself, upon the
same matters, cannot be separated.
And ii is true that the record of the
last Congress is at issue in the Congress
sional elections this fall. 1t Is for the
people to say whether they do or do not
endorse that record by continuing the
Republicans in control of Congress.

Philadelphia Press.
senator Hoar's defense of his vote for the
River and Harbor bill would be stronger
but for the fact that at the end of the last
fiscal year over 81, 900, 600 of the last appro-
priation remained unexpended. Tbs, in
itself, was a larger sum than the average of
FIVE years ago and it Is difficult to b lieve
that the country needs So, 900, 900 available
for public works in the next eleven mon lbs,
when s., 900, 900 or 50, 900 600 met public de-
mands up to ten years ago. The curse of
the bill was that good appropriations were
used to pull bad ones through. SenstorHoar
and men like him should have the moral
courage to insist that no appropriations but
good ones should pass; and President Ar
thur gave them the opportunity to do this,
but il was not improved.

NOTWITHSTANDING the reign of high
prices and the greatly-increased cost of
living, if the testimony of banking in
stitutions i'm various parts of the country
is to be credited, there is steady accu-
mutation of money going on, not only
among the richer classes, but also
among the better classes of industrious
and economical tradesmen and labOring
men. So rapidly is money piling up in
the New York savings banks, for ex-
ample, that one ofthem has been forced
to lower its rate of interest to 81 per
cent, while all of them now refuse to
accept more than 81 900 on single de-
post.

SENATOR HARRISON, Of Indiana, is
credited with stating tersely the differ
enee between the two parties" in this
remark: THE Republican party knows
q trade wind when it strikes one. The
Democratic party can't tell a trade
wind from squall." That the Republi-
can leaders are good judges of trade
wind is pretty clearly evidenced by the
use they make oft with the regulators
i'm Virginia and the debt-payers in Ten
nessee, the Prohibltionists in Iowa, and
the free rumites in North Carolina,
with Boss KELLY in New York, and
DENNIS KEARNEY in California
everywhere, in fact, where votes are to
be obtained by trade. But ifreports are
true, the "trade wind" they snuffed for
a fusion with the Greenbackers in this
State proved to be a cyclone. Their
proposition was incontinently snubbed.

THE Boston Irdrc!ler says: "The GEN.
ter of population in the United States
was twenty-five miles from Baltimore
i'm 1890, and has moved westward at
the average rate ofabont fifty-one miles
every decade, never deviating to the ex-
tent of a degree north or south of the
thirty-ninth parallel. The center of
population in 1870 was forty-eight miles
northeast of Cincinnati. According to
the last census, the center had advanced
westward fifty-eight miles, and defect
ell to the south about eight, being near
the village of Taylorsville, Kentucky,
about eight miles from Cincinnati. 1t
is anticipated that the next census will
find it in Jennings county, lnd.'

Mr.. Hoge is the nominee Of the regular
Democratic Convention and will prove
stubborn antagonist in the campaign now
at hand. His friends in this section are
legions, and a great many who heretofore
were strong Lucas advocates now will sup
port Hoge. But, should both gentlemen
enter the field the result is too plain to be
mistaken. 1t surely is great misfortune
that compromise hadn't been consum-
mated. Each party, no doubt, were honest
in their convictions, and so far as that goes
should be honored for their fidelity to their
respective friends. 1t is to be hoped, how
ever. that the matter will be considered.

that after Egypt is conquered the at

The enterprising editor Of the Wheeling

hcstion of an eight-page, sixty four column
Sunday paper. 1t will prove a success.
We had the privilege of starting Sunday
issue of adsily paper, and we saw it spring
INTO success in spite of two other Sunday
papers, at once. The people will no longer
wait forty eight hours for the news Of Sat
urday. A good live Sunday paper sells
better and pays better than any other issue
of the week because the people have the
time to read.
