In the general business situation there is little

with peace and plenty we shall have good fall
trade, as good crops always stimulate trade
Tine sentiment of commission men is generally of
q cautious character, and therefore there is no
likelihood Of commercial disturbance in legiti-
mate trade. Ia scanning over the commercial
reports of some of the leading papers of the
East there are certainly encouraging CONNER

are many signs that the few men of cool judg-
Dent and abundant capital who buy at periods
OF dizziness and low prices to sell when trade has
received an impulse and the crowd are focking

some leading commodities. Wool. iron, coal,
copper, cotton fabrics and leather goods give
evidence OF such action. 1t ia not improbable
that other articles may be added to this list

buyers is TO be more implicitly relied upon for

THE NEW POSTAL sCHEnE.

1t appears that the business of the San
Francisco Postoffice showed the same re-
markable increase under the fret months
operation of the new postal rates as was
manifest at Sacramento. Several other
offices report a decided augmentation of
business also. II these advances were con-
fined to the sale of stamps and stamped
envelopes they would not be so significant,
for the laying in of stamp stock by sta
tioners and business houses at the begin
ming of October might well account for the
increased sales. But it is shown that the
pieces of letter mail handled greatly in
creased in number, and uusccountably SO,
unless we attribute it to the reduction of
letter postage. The friends of the measure
providing for the reduced rate had no ex-
pectation that such immediate proofs of
the virtue Of the scheme would be forth
coming. They believed that correspond
ence would be stimulated by lessened post
age rates, but did not look for it to be SO
suddenly made manifest. There remains
now but one other factor in the problem,
and that is whether the increased mail
matter can BE handled by the Government
for the Increased income. We are con-
vinced that thst economic problem will
also be solved in favor of the scheme of
reduction,

by millions. We have protested against
the claim of the ward.party machinist that
he has the preregative OF nominating city
administrators. We have seen fit to de-
nounce a system that withdra~s the masses
from the consideration of the question as
to who shall be municipal officers, and sur
renders that whole business to the few
whose ends are selfish, who sacrifice do
mestic to party prosperity, and who live
upon the spoils, and subsist upon the fears
and ambitions of candidates. Our conVlc-
ton that the Republican party is the bet
ter of the two greater political parties, and
that It is representative of higher intelli.
gence and more advanced ideas, is deeper
rooted and more stable than the political
faith of the men who crack the party whip
under the impression that there is terror in
the sound; but our political faith does
not affect our belief in the virtue of
non partisanship in municipal govern
ment. The miserable imputation that
the advocacy of principles of local govern.
ment calculated to secure the most econ-
omic administration and the highest degree
of municipal prosperity, is dictated by the
city's creditors, is as infamous as the men
deserve to be who venture to voice the
mendacious statement. Lat the ring man
ayers and hole-and. corner ward schemers
continue their debasing traffic in nomina-
tions and primaries we shall be disturbed
neither by their threats nor their plots, but
shall continue to protest against the base
uses to which they would bring party or
ganization. We are content to know that
the truth has made itself felt.

A LIGHTNING- ROD PEDDLER's EXPRI.
ENCE.-"I have seen the time l could
make $50 day putting up lightning rods.
Drive up to a house and talk to a man
about rodding his barn at so much foot,
and he would figure that it would cost,
say, SIC, and he would sign an order. Be.
fore the ink was dry | would have seven or
eight men, with ladders, all over that barn.
They would go over it like cats on a back
fence, and put points on every corner and
conductors down every side. The farmer
and his family would look ON in amaze
ment, and be so pleased at the improved
look of the old barn that they would not
kick at the number of points. Then we
would 20 off without collecting the bill,
and in about a week our collector would
come along with bill for 1887 AZ, and the
farmers note, all signed, and demand the
pay. The farmer might faint away, but he
had to pay it. Oh, of course, if he seemed
hurt, we would throw off the odd cents,
Just to show Christian spirit. But the
condemned newspapers have kept talking
about highway robbery under the disguise
of hghtning.rod peddlers until it is as
much as mans life is worth to go through
the country on q lightning-rod wagon.
Actually they chased me out of Dodge

THE CANADIANS, PEAR.

1t is reported by telegraphic dispatches
that the Canadians express anxiety about
the promised expectations of great num-
bers of the impoverished peasants of Ire
land to the Dominion. The Canadians
desire the Home Government to give the
assurance that these helpless people, large
numbers of whom are infirm, ahall not be-
come charges upon the taxpayers of Can.
ada. When the scheme of immigration
referred to was first broached, it was IN
derstood that the newcomers were to be
placed upon railroad lands along the line
of the Canadian Pacific and other routes,
and upon large tracts owned by some heavy
land corporations, and were to be assured
of subsistence for two years, and given
teams, cattle, seed, implements of the
farm and of woodmen, free of cost, and
allowed number of years of credit upon
the lands, without interest, and certain
interest in the freehold without cost. They
were also to be provided with reasonably
good houses, and two complete outfits of
clothing, and certain sum of money for
present necessities. These would seem to
be pretty fair guarantees that an able.
bodied man, even with family, would not
become public charge, always provided
he was possessed of fair amount of en-
ergy and Of sufficient ambition to secure
home. But the difficulty is that the Irish
peasant has been kept in such deplorable
condition for SO long period of time that
the ambition to do better is well nigh
driven out of him. The class to be de-
ported probably is the very class that will
be lost upon a Canadian wild-land tract,
however well stocked it may be with agri-
cultural tools. The evil of pauperism
never cures itself. 1t is thing that is
corrected only by outside agencies. Pau
perism may be born in the body and bred
in the bone, and the Canadians we think
have good reason for their fears that the
Irish paupers to be sent to them may be-
come public charges, because pauperism is
an attachment they may not shake off.
