ducing postage on first-clsss matter
from three to two cents per half-ounce
after July 1st next. The Postmaster
General has under consideration sew
eral designs for the new stamp. A
favorite design is said to be similar
to the present two cent stamp, though
the color Is dark brown instead ofred.
Thus far the difficulty has been in
choosing the head thst shall ornament
the new stamp, and it is believed that
the choice for the vignette will be the
head of General Grant. tits thought
that the design will not be fully de-
termined for month, as it is intend
ed that the stamp shall not only be
of elegant finish, but plan and dis

The San Francisco Report

-THE San Franc cisco Report
says that Polygamy is now recog
nlzed institution. The Mormons have
had big love feast at Salt Lake City
over the failure Of Congress to deal
with the rolygamic problem. They
may well exult. All hope that any
thing will ever be done for the sup
preston Of polygamy is over, and in
no State in the Union should any
Gentle be prosecuted for bigamy.
One man has just as much right to
marry oftea as another man. The
Mormon church is close corporation !;
it can raise all the money IT requires
for the purchase OF Congressman, and
polygamy may now be regarded as a
recognized American institution. To
abuse it any longer is mere waste
of ink ana breath. With Mormonism
in Utah, Pagan temples III San Fran
cisco, and Christianity, Professionalism
and Bob Ingersollism scattered
around generally, the American peo'
pie are pretty we'll supplied with re-
liglon. They can afford to send

THE Internal Revenue anC

The Internal Revenue and
Tariff bill, as passed by Congress in
its closing hours, practically abolish
es internal revenue taxation, except
on whiskey and tobacco, and largely
reduces the tax on the latter. 1t
makes decided reductions in the tariff,
so that, unless importations are slim
nlatsd thereby, it will reduce the Gus
toms receipts of the Government
about 100000. Laws were also
enacted reforming the system of civil
service appointments and reducing
letter postage to two cents. The re-
cord of this short session is fuller of
good works than many a longer one
has been. and will prove boom for
the Republicans in the next national
campaign.

AN Eastern journal we'll posted
on Utah affairs, says: The next Con
gress being Democratic and friendly
to the Mormons, will be besieged by
petitions and entreated by polite
considerations to let Utah in under
the @gis of the Union, where plural
marriage can no longer be molested.
Then the tribulations of Gentiles,
"apostates" and rebellious Mormons
would be renewed in horrible earnest !;
and the Government would be in no
better condition to interfere than it is
to restrain race prosecutions In the
Southern States. At present the
polygamists have prudential reasons
for yelling their baleful enmity against
their foes. Yet now they cannot en-.
tirely screen their malice. We may
judge of the strength of that malicious
spirit by realizing how much of it
they have succeeded in 'imparting to
their counsel, Judge Black. The

THE cry of "cheap labor" ra

THE cry of "cheap labor" rails
ed against the Chinese on the Pacific
Coast ls not heard here, says the New
York Sun, but there is room Tor com
plant against them upon other
grounds. They have introduced the
vice of opium smoking, and it has
grown until the '.joints" for purauing
the practice are to be found in nearly
every section of the city and while
all are frequented by Americans, the
most attractive and central ones are
owned and managed by New Workers.
A bold and energetic reporter of the
Sun, who made the underground ex-
plorations recounted last Monday,
has now given subterranean evidence
of the fact that these quiet shy peo-
pie, have added still further to the
temptations that beset our youths by
the establishment Of lotteries, aud one
or two other Mongolian devices for
gambling, that are rapidly growing
popular, because they seem to demsLd
small risks while promising large
gains. 1t is becoming apparent that
the Legislature must look sharply at
Chinese ways here.

As spring approaches demand for fruit
springs up. Naturally the appetite Graves it
at that season of the year. Oranges are al
their best now and are cheaper than they
have been before this season. Floridas are
are large, ripe and lucious and the best cost
from So to 90 cents per dozen. They are
sweeter than any others because, being grown
but a comparatively short distance off, they
can be packed and transported To northern
markets when fully ripe. Oranges from for
eign countries, brought long distances,
must necessarily be gathered before
fully ripe else they Will
decay in transit. Valencias retail all the
way from 40 TO 80 cents; Messinas sell at 20
and 80 cents. Fruit dealers are well stocked
up with this fruit and now is the time to buy.
Bananas are just beginning to put in an ap-
pearance and will continue plenty until July
Large numbers are sold in Augusta
of the bananas come from the
Isthmus Of Panama. large quantities be-
ing shipped at Aspinwall. Malaga grapes
can be bought for a month yet. They sell
at - cents a pound. Good eating apples are
the scarcest kind of fruit, and dealers find il
very difficult to procure enough to supply
their customers. Farmers are inclined to
sell all their best fruit to Boston BUYERS.
More dates and figs sold in the
Spring than at other seasons of the
year. The 14th of February has passed
some time since. yet valentines are still in
demand. Many youths and fair maidens re-
ceiving those tender missives on St Valen-
tines, day feel it their duty to send others in
return, thus creating demand after the day
has passed. Novelty dealers are POW buying
in stock of marbles, anticipating the wants
of the small boy.
