ARRANGEMENTS are being made
by Mr.. Blackfan, chief of the for
eign postal service at Washington,
to admit the Australian colonies
into the international postal union.
When this is accomp lished, the
whole world, practically, will be in
the union, and a uniform rate of 5
cents will pay for a letter to any
place on the globe with the ex-
ception of Batavia. The Austria
lian colonies have been kept out
this long because they could not
very well adopt so cheap a rate
and pay the subsidies they do.
They pay subsidy of 100000 a
year to the steamship line running
to San Francisco, and also a boun-
ty to mail carriers by the Suez
Canal. They have proposed to
the countries of the International
union to come in at once with the
same conditions. They are viii
ling to accept the five cent rate for
matter sent to any part of their do
main, but desire to keep up their
rates until the present contracts
with the steamship lines have ex-
pired. Mr.. Blackfan, for the Uni
ted States, has accepted these con-
ditions, and he thinks that they
will be acceded to generally. 1t
must be agreed to unanimously
among the nations in order to be
effective.

LATE European advices are to
the effect that Germany is schem-
ing to embroil France in another
war and is doing all it can to ex-
asperate its Gallo neighbors. The
French press express the utmost
confidence in the condition of the
country, and think that France is
fully prepared to go to war. This
opinion is not shared by journals
outside of France, some of the lat
ter asserting that another Franco
German war would be Sedan and
Metz over again.

Buckeyes and Hawkeyes.

The result of Tuesdays cleo
ton in Ohio is as yet undeter-
mined, though it is believed that
Judge HOadley, the Democratic
candidate for governor, is elected
by small majority, and that the
Democrats carry majority OF the
Legislature. This last is in even
greater dispute than the guberna-
torial returns; upon the political
complexion of the newly elected
Legislature depends whether ;Sena-
tor Pendleton's successor in the
L. 5. Senate shall be Democratic
or Republican.
Ohio has all along been consid-
cred a Republican state, giving
Garfield 34,227 majority three
years ago. The election this year
turned on what may be called To-
cal issues, at the bottom of which
lay the question Of prohibition.
The real question in Ohio last
Tuesday was not whether HoadIev
or Foraker should be elected gov-
ernor, but whether saloons should
or should'not be taxed. Republi-
cans championed the provision of
license, and a temporary defeat
will probably nerve the prohibi-
tion leaders to a renewed effort.
In Iowa the Republicans carry
the works by a majority vastly re.
duced from the Garfield majority
of rs, Jog, in 1880.
In the Hawkeye state, also, the
question of prohibition was the
most prominent feature of the
campaign, and the Republican
majority will be generally accepted
as furnishing figures indicating the
popular feeling in Iowa as regards
that movement.

his firm are borrowing all the
money they want at two per cent

per cent year for the use of it.
we cleared $4,000 on interest
alone in August he says. when
our customers order US TO buy GER
tain shares of stock for them thew
put up ten per cent as the total in
yestment, and that makes US re-
sponsible for ninety per cent If
the stock is left idle on our hands
for any length of time we charge
interest on that ninety per cent.
So, you see, if the market is dull.
the profit lies in the interest; if it
is lively, it is in the commission:

The OregOai0n makes a good
point in calling attention to the
prevailing folly of agricultural
production, viz; raising wheat and
nothing but wheat. No market in
the world is so subject 10 huctua-
ton and violent competition as the
wheat market. No market in the
world affords greater inducements
to fruit and dairy interests than
the northwest. Concentration on
one crop and purchase of all
things else, will, in the end impov-
erish the country that adopts such
a suicidal course.

A Cowardly Rrnte,s Grimm.

Another horrible tragedy occurred in the
borough OF Luzerne, about seyeu miles from
Wilkesbarre Saturday night. John Clear
a breaker boss at Waddle's Gallery was
shot down and fatally wounded by Dennis
Keller. Particulars IS to how the shooting
occurred differ somewhat, but as far as can
be learned they are as follows: During the
afternoon Keller aud several companions,
among them a man named Rogan, were in
neighboring saloon, drinking, when they
quamelled. About nine o'clock the two
men started to go home, Rogan preceding
Keller. The former had not gone far until
he was overtaken by Keller who command.
ed him to stop. Rogan halted and Keller
said; "Are you as good a man now as when
you were in the saloon" "Yesl - -
you" quickly replied Rogan. But he had
hardly uttered ihe words when Keller
whipped out revolver and Rogan took to
lis heels. Just at this moment Clear, who
is one legged man, came along, aud KEEL
Ter turned upon him, saying: "Walk faster.
- you, or will shoot YOU" Clear re.
piled; "Fire away" and Keller immedi-
atsly fred four shots at the deenseless
cripple, every one of which took effect. He
uttered one groan and fell to the ground,
apparently dead. lie was picked up and
conveyed to a drug store near by. Sunday
morning he was taken to The hospital in
dying condition. Keller, who apparently
did not realize the extent of his crime, stood
coolly by, and in answer to a question as to
whether he intended to kill Clear replied:
Why, Of course did" Keller was taken
to Wilkesbare Sunday morning md lodged
in Jail, He is about five feet in height aud
looks like a desperado. He arrived in Lu.
