An Editor and his Boil.

Geo. w. Peck, of Milwaukee, is
carrying his right hand round tied
up in a big silk handkerchief. He
has been bothered almost to death
with anxious enquiries as to the
nature of the trouble under the
handkerchief and so he has issued
the following, addressed to "The
general questioning public:"
"This is boil. Not a carbun.
Gle. Just a boil.

ger than mine, but this one is big
enou gh for me. / am no hog.

counterfeit it, as it mas counter
feited everything else, but the
chances are so greatly against it
that they may be safely left out of
the calculation. A counterfeit
would besides be very soon dis
covered, as the notes and the stubs
are kept and compared when the
accounts of the postmasters are
made out. The notes, after they
have been paid, are kept in the
auditors Office, just as the money
orders are, as vouchers for
the money paid out.n
The introduction of the postal
note system is really a novelty in
the postal world, although DIR. Mac
donald modestly terms it a modifi-
cation of the English system. By
the adoption of the American sys.
TEN of punching, the rates and
amounts on the note are punched
out, just as the tickets on a Pull
man car, or a slip on a street rail-
way are punched. But there is a
more material difference, which it
rs believed will demonstrate the
superiority of our system.

The Pilgrim Daughters.

The following letter has been
sent respectively to the Massachu-
setts Republican and Democratic
State Central Committees. II ia
signed by women who are equally
interested with men in the welfare
of the State. They believe that
the establishment OF political
rights for women is essential to
the highest good of the State.
Gentlemen-The political help
lessnsss of women eompels us to
appeal to You who have power to
be mindful of the women of Mass
achusetts when the candidate for
Governor is to be nominated. We
ask that no one may bs nominated
for that Office who is opposed to
woman's suffrage, and who would
hence veto any bill that is provided
for our enfranchisemeat. We
send this to you now, in the hope
that it will save us from the neces.
ity of opposing a candidate who
would oppose the equal rights Of
women. We have political pre-
ferences, and would far rather use
the influence we have in the inter-
est of the party to which we
should belong il we were not de-
prived Of our political rights; pro-
vided always that its candidate is
a friend to woman suffrage and q
person who commands our re-
spctt. We hold that the enfran-
chisement Of women ought to be
the main question in politics. 1t
would be considered the first
question II it were men and not
women who are disfranchised; aud
, men have no stake or interest IN
the Government which women
I have not. We hold that to tax
and govern law-abiding women
0 without their consent Is the great
est injustice. In our judgement
4 therefore; it is the duty Of politi
t cal leaders to put forward the en-
y franchisement of women in thei
q platforms, as a question OF th'
l. highest Importance .alike as !
affects the honor of men, th'
o rights of women and the welfar
Of the State. We feel that goo
o government in the interest of hig
70 morality and the general welfar
0, OF humanity is Of the first impo
" tance, aud that the participate
er of women in all political pow'
is ofessential necessity to this er
