Our Money order system.
IN. y. SIM.

N. Y. Sun.
The growth of the postal money order
system at home and abroad has been
remarkable. 1t was created by the act
of May II, 1864, during the civil war.
In the fifth year OF its existence the or
ders amounted to about $24,800,000.
The system now extendsto the remotest
countries. The domestic and interna-
tional orders for the last fiscal year ag
gregated $120,000,00O, and $6,500,000
being ON foreign account.
No attempt has ever been made to
glorify this branch of the public service,
or to puff its achievements. 1t is mod
estly and we'll managed. Confidence
has been gained by good management.
The system has became a most import
ant element of the postal service,
an immense convenience to those
who wish to send small remit
tances without risk Of loss or danger of
reputation.
Instead of being charge on the
Treasury, the money order system is
actually source of profit. At the end
of the last fiscal year, after deducting all
the expenses of every sort, including
the appropriations made by Congress,
the business had to it's credit the res
pectable sum of S165, 900.
A reduction in the rates pkld for or
ders must come in a very shoSt time.

Hoasekeepers have long since discoy-
cred the fact that the human family is
being badly victimized by. the adultera-
tio,a of almost every article OF prime
necessity for the family table. 1t is no
news to them that we are condemned
by the shabby devices OF illegitlmatei

percentage of filth and poison with our
daily supply OF food. 1t is however,
Int recently the discovery has been
made that the animals which we rear
and feed are subjected to even a.severer
regimen of poison than we ourselves
are. Dubuque, says in effect, that the

made effective at great cost to the COM

farmers from the curse of depleted
pocket books, and the poor animal

scrupulous hands of the Western adul-
terators. Farmers, in the name Of

Our late congressman Hon. E. w.
Robertson, made an effort at the recent
session Of congress to debar from the
anails all papers publishing advertise
ments of the Louisiana State Lottery.
This Lottery is part of our State con-
stitution.; and congress would not show
much respect for a sovereign State in
refusing to let it's constitution pass
through the.mails. The lottery is more
strongly advertised in being advertised
in the constitution than it is in the
newspapers. A law that would keep
the newspapers containing the lottery
advertisements out of the mails, in
order to be consistent would have to
keep copies of the constitution and all
books or papers containing the consti-
tuition out Of the mails. Moreover.
Gems. Beauregard and Early, two dis
tingnisled G Confederate officers, preside
at the drawings Of the lottery and
their illnstrions Rames advertisait more
than the newspapers possibly .can do,
and suck a law, toibe consistent, would
have to debar then from the use.M the
mails in any capacity whatever.

4 1t was while engaged in this service
that both Wings and Democrats, by
common consent, united in agreeing
upon the propriety of supporting him
for one Of the Associate Justiceships OF
the Supreme Court of this State. Much
to the regret of many OF his earliest and
best friends, though it was understood
there would be no opposition to him, he
declined to stand for the high office, but
accepted the presidency of the road, tile
success of which he had so much at
heart.
Without ever seeking or desiring poll
tical preferment, Judge Overton always
filled a conspicuous place in the politics
Of this State. AS We all know, no man
enjoyed in higher degree the respect
and confidence of his party, and his
counsels had controlling weight in
shaping and determining its policy.
He belonged to what is known as the
Jefersonian school OF Democracy. In
his principles he was firm and uncom-
promising. These he would not barter,
net even to achieve success. He held
them above mere party triumph. AS IN
his political relations, so it was IN his
private friendships, he was singuiarly
warm and nnselfish. If there was a
blind side to has character it was this.
Like all men Of deep convictions and
earnest purposes he had his antagon-
isms, but he survived long enough to
bury all memory of these.
Let it be recorded here, lac carried no
trace of them with him to the grave.
Amid the scenes he loved so well, this
venerated patriot and citizen sleeps his
last sleep. He died with the christians
assurance that our loss would be his
gain.
