mittee had considered the MATTER and
were about ready to report in favor
of the reduction of letter postage
rates, and the abolition of newspaper
postage. Perhaps the postal reve-
nues can stand both these reductions
at once, but it looks as if it would be
better to try one thing at a time, and
that the first thing to do is to reduce
the letter postage. OF eouse if the
country can stand the abolition of
newspaper postage, the newspapers
can, for they would profit consider
ably by it, but it should be under
stood that they have not clamored
for it. Both reductions would be of
great advantage to the public, if we
can afford them. IA 8

Ex-Secretary Blaine has written a
letter declining to be candidate for
congress in his old district, this fall,
which will please some folks and
plague others, but in it he makes a
pledge to labor cheerfully for the re-
election of Senator Frye, whose term
expires next March, which ought to
delight all good republicans, for the
senator is a man who fills the place
he occupies, and whose defeat would
be public loss.

THE IRON WORKERS STRIKE.

1t is to be admitted at the very
outset that the cost of living is high.
The wages which were paid a year or
two years do not buy so much food
as they would buy then. Ii this fact
signifed that there had been gen.
eral rise in the prices of commodities
generally, caused by large trade
and an active demand, it would of
itself settle the question of the justi-
fication of the effort to obtain more
wages. But this is not the fact.
Food is high, for special and we'll
known reason. We had short crop
last year. That evil is apparently
to be corrected speedily by the har-
vesting of a crop. 1t has been of
short duration, and it is about to dis
appear. While it has lasted it has
been hardship to all men equally.
and has diminished the power of the
employers to pay current wages as
as it has affected the wage-earners
to live comfortably on what they re-
! ceive.
AS the matter stands at present
there is nothing in the condition OF
trade which gives hope of success to
the strikers. 1t may be that large
crop will give fresh activity to gener.
al trade and to the iron market. On
the exhaustion of the stock on hanC
may render it worth while to pay the
increased wages demanded But al
that, is in the future. Consequently
it is uncertain. The one thing which
is certain is that the iron-workers
will have season of idleness, dur
ing which they will waste much ant
earn nothing. Boston Advertiser.

The republicans, after long and
bitter struggle in the house, have I'M
SEATED several democrats who have
been holding seats as Representatives
i by means of fraud, as the evidence
|plainly showed. This is naturally
creating great hue and cry among
the democrats, but if justly done they
have no right to complain. There
has been, according to all accounts,
the most unblushing rascality in the
southern elections, and the people of
that section ought to be taught that
fraud of any kind will not be toIerat-
ed. Without free ballot and a fair
eount an election, is dangerous thing.
We hold to justice in this thing and
believe it is policy for either party by
is representative and leading men to
oppose at all times and in all places
Everything that vitiates an election
pr degrades the ballot. We hope
hat no man will be seated by the
party in majority who has not the
Fleanest title to his seat but when il
shown that any man is holding his
lace by fraud of any character, lei
i'm be ousted quick metre.
