SPEAKING of Justice Field, of the
U. S. Supreme Court, as an available
Democratic candidate for the Presi-
dency, prominent politician said to
us few days ago: "He would be
the easiest man to elect in the United
States, but unfortunately he is the
hardest man to nominate, for he has
virtually no following among the
class of politicians who control the
conventions that select delegates. II
is known that his candidacy would
disrupt and destroy the ring of solid
capitalists who supply the campaign
sinews to the Republican party
bringing most of them to his support
and neutralizing the others, His
brother, though Republican, woulc
contribute a million of dollars to
wards his campaign expenses whll'
four other prominent Republican,
would do almost as much. But thel
he cannot possibly get the nomlna
ton"

Want OF knowledge.

Referring to the recent decision OF
Judges Baxter, Hammond and Key,
in the railroad commission case, the
the Nashville World says:
"If sustained, the legislation of u
states, some of it having been in ex-
istence for dozen years, is utterly
overthrown. If sustained, in their
full scope, railroads are at liberty to
do practically as they please, 50 far
as the states are concerned"
There is good deal of mislnforma-
ton that comes of a want of knowl-
edge in the above lugubrious lament
of the World. The railway commits

Texas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michi-
gan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New

to the Tennessee commission as a
finished locomotive does to an OK cart,
or as Mrs. Bonanza Mackey's twenty
thousand dollar portrait by Messonier
which she threw in the fire would
bear to cheap chrome of the editor
of the World. In the states named
there is no control over rates, and still
valuable powers of inspection, ex-
posure and relief by recommendation
and advice for Legislation, and aid in
the courts for persons with grievances
against the railways are conferred on
the commissioners and exercised by
them. 1t is only in Alabama, Cali

any power over rates. s.-Menph'S

The Postal Guide for 1884 contains
a ruling of the Postoffice Department
that printed blanks and circulars,
which have heretofore been rated at
third class, or one cent for every two
ounces, must hereafter be rated as
first class, or one cent per ounce.
This extra and oppressive tax has
been exacted of publishers of late;
but we are pleased to state that a
protest and remonstrance from this
Office, transmitted by our postmaster
has induced the Department to rate
such matter as hsretofore--one cent
for every two ounces.-J0chSo"
Clarion.
Our contemporary has fallen into
several errors. The rate of postage
on first class matter is not one cent
per ounce as stated above, but two
cents per half ounce. Circulars have
always been, and still are rated as
third class matter, and are sent
through the mails at the rate OF one
cent for two ounces. There has been
no change in the ruling as relates to
circulars. As for printed blanks,s since
the ruling of January 2nd 1884, they
are to be treated simply as merchan'
disc, and charged fourth class rates
that is one cent for each ounce. In
other words all matters Of this gen
eral character" the printing upon
which is not designed to instruct
amuse, cultivate the mind, or taste
} or impart general information" Is
fourth class matter, subject to thu
rate of one cent for each ounce. W.
do not think that blanks sent ou
, from printing office, to be used b,
officials, falls within the definition o
third class matter. We are author
J. itatively advised that the ruling G

The Effect Of the Two Cent stamp
Oh Postal Cards.

The Postmaster-General announces
as a result of the reduction of letter
postage, surprising decrease in the
use of postal cards. 1t seems that
immense numbers of communications,
statements and reports formerly made
by cards are now going forward un-
der the two cent adhesive stamps, in
the shape of confidential communica-
tions. In consequence of this new
aspect of affairs, the Postmaster
General has notified Mr.. Randle
Chairman Of the Committee on Ap
preparations of the House, that he cal
safely reduce the estimate for manu-
featuring cards for the next tsca
year, $4,000.

The Legal Tender Question.

The recent decision of the Supreme
Court in regard to the legal tender
act of 1878, has had a disturbing
influence in financial circles all over
the country, almost creating panic
in some quarters. As result, and
to stay public uneasiness and appre-
hension, amendments to the Constitu-
ton have been proposed in both
Houses of Congress, declaring that
Congress shall not have power to
make anything but gold and silver a
legal tender, or to pass any law I'M
pairing the obligation of contracts
Amendments like this were proposed
in the Senate by Bayard, and in the
House by Potter and Hewitt, on the
10th inst. Senator Garland, for the
pacifcation of the public mind, pro
posed an amendment to the elfec
that the amount Of currency possess
ing legal tender attributes shall nevel
exceed s350,O00,000, unless an excess
shall be authorized by vote of two
thirds of each House of Congress.

that the European demand will be
