double the area of operations that it did

INTERIOR DEPARTMENT.

SECRETARY TELLER'S RECOMMENDATIONS.
OF the varied governmental concerns in
charge of the interior department, the re-
port of its secretary presents an interesting
summary. Among the topics deserving par
ticular attention / refer you to his obserya-
tions respecting our Indian affairs, the pre-
emption and timber culture acts, the failure
of railroad companies to take title to lands
granted by the government and the opera
lions of the pension office, the patent office,
the census bureau and bureau of education.
Alluson has been made already to the cir
cumstance that both as between different
Indian tribes and as between the Indians and
the whites, the past year has been one of
unbIoken peace. In this circumstance the
president is glad TO find justification for the
policy of the government in dealing with the
Indian question, and confirmation of views
which were fully expressed in his first COM
munication to the Forty seventh congress-
The secretary urges new enactment OF a
statute for the punishment of crimes COM
mitted on Indian reservations, and recon-
mends the passage of the bill now pending
in the house of representatives, for the pur-
chase of a district of 5000 square miles
from the Sioux reservation Both these
measures are worthy of approval. | concur
with him also in advising the repeal of the
resumption law the enactment of statutes
resolving the present legal complications
touching lapsed grants to railroads, and the
funding of the debt of the several Pacific
railroads under such guarantee as shall in
sure its ultimate payment

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
THE LATE ELECTION.

THE LATE ELECTION.
To the Congress of the United States.
Since the close of your last session the Amer
lean people in the exercise Of their highest
right of suffrage, have chosen their chief
magistrate for the four years ensuing When
IL is remembered that at no period in the
country's history has the long political con-
test which customarily precedes the day of
the national election been waged with
greater fervor and intensity, It is a subject
of congratulations that after the controversy
at the polls was over, and while the slight
preponderance by which the issue had been
determined was as yet unascertained the
public peace suffered no disturbance, but
the people everywhere patiently and quietly
awaited the result Nothing could more
strikingly illustrate the temper of the
American citizen, his love OF order and his
loyalty TO law. Nothing could more signally
demonstrate the strength and wisdom of our
political institutions Eight years have
passed since a controversy concerning the
result of a national election sharply called
the attention of the congress to the neces-
sity of providing more precise and definite
regulations for counting the electoral vote.
1t is of the greatest Importance that this
question be solved before conflicting claims
TO the presidency shall again distract the
country; and / am persuaded that, by the
people at large, any of the measures Cf re-
lief thus far proposed would be preferred TO
continued inaction

From the Chicago Herald
"Yes sir, I'm going home to see my
folks down in New York" said Young
man as best he could between his FREE

face was thin and each of his cheeks

were bright but sunken, his hands limp
and fieshless, his voice hollow and his
breath short. Eve been out west a

urged by the postmaster general, may
properly be extended It is the opinion Of
that officer that it is proper to provide
means whereby exceptional dispatch in
dealing with letters in free delivery offices
may be secured by the payment OF extra
ordinary postage. This scheme may be
made effective by the employ ment of q
special stamp, whose cost shall be eommen-
surate with the expense of the entire extra
service. In some of the large cities private
express companies have undertaken to out
strip the government mail carriers by afford
ing, for the prompt transmission of letters
better facilities than have hitherto been at
the command of the postoffice. 1t has
always been the policy of the government to
discourage such enterprises and in no better
way can that policy be maintained than in
supplying the public with the most efficient
service that with due regard to its own best
interests. can be furnished for its recon-

Put Yourself in the Horses Place.

From the New York Tribune.
lit is the worry not work that kills"
Let every owner of horse think, when
ne brings his team to the stable at
night, how much vital force has been
expended in work and how much in
worry, and then strike balance. And
let him consider himself to be putin the
horses place, so that he may better
know how it is himself. And thus:
A man goes out to work in the morn
ing, after having all night fought flies
of the most pestilent kind, breathed
hot, foul air, reeked in the sweat and
dust of the previous days work, eat
en- a breakfast in haste, without sui
6cient cleaning of his shin, and with
boots and clothing i'll fitting and calling
the tenderest spots upon his person.
He is then, from the flthiness OF his
body, exposed all day to the venomous
attacks of flies, which he fights with
hands and feet, but which, from the ex-
igencies of bis work, he can only drive
off for the slightest moment, after which
a cloud of them settle upon his face
and exposed parts and sting him Sc
verely.
He works on from hour to hour in
the broiling sun without water to mois-
ten his mouth or to quench his raging
thirst until midday, when he PUSHES
home, swallows drink of dirty water
and hastily eats dinner in the foulest
smelling and worst ventilated part OF
his premises.
The afternoon is like the forenoon,
and after this has been occupied in the
same way the man, all foul with gath
cred dust and sweat, eats his evening
meal as he dined and lies down to rest
(?), if he can, on filthy floor, in an
apartment that is hot, close, and
swarming with flies, which he vainly
fights as he catches an odd wink or so
of sleep.
And so, de novo, from day to day he
fights it out on this line all summer.
Then how much of the resulting wear
and tear is due to the worry and how
little of it to the work?
Something like this is the weary con-
dition of the average farm horse, No
note is taken of the cruel lashing, the
iniudicious feeding and watering, the
torment of check-reins, the hlndrances
of binders, the bad treatment OF the
feet by the blacksmith and other mis-
takes which produce actual disease, nor
of the truly horrible nostrums and
poisonous stuff which are made use of
as remedies" for these complaints.
Thinking Of these things, who can
wonder that the average farm horse,
whose useful life is naturally % to 30
years gets into hole in corner of the
farm and is consumed by prowling dogs
in less than half his allotted term of
life?

Woman suffrage in Washington Ter
ritory has not vet borne unwelcome
fruits, if the officials tell the truth.
The governor, in his annual report to
the federal authorities in Washington,
SAYS Although many of our citizens
are disposed to question the wisdom Of
this law, especially when attended with
the requirements that women should
serve as jurors, it meets with the ap-
provaI of a large majority of the peo-
pie, and the women of the territory are
for the most part strongly DESTROYS that
the enactment be retained upon our
statute books. Thus far it seems at
tended with no important results I'M
favorable to the welfare of the people
of the territory. Chief Justice Greene,
of Washington Territory, in his last
charge to the Grand Jury, bears
the following testimony to the
good effect Of women serving on juries
"Twelve terms of court, ladies' and gen.
tlemen, I have now held, in which
women have served as grand and petty
Jurors, and it is certainly a fact beyond
dispute that no other twelve terms so
salutary for restraint of crime have ev-
er been held in this territory" This
testimony of the Governor and Chief
Justice, is by no means conclusive as to
the probable results elsewhere. Should
the experiment be tried in thicl1ly set
tied portions Of the country, the result
might not be so favorable. But every
body will watch with increasing inter
est the final outcome of the radical in
noyation upon immemorial Gus toms.

POSTAL AFFAIRS,

THE REDUCTIONS IN LETTER POSTAGE
The report Of the postmaster general ac-
qaaints you with the present condition and
needs of the postal service. 1t discloses the
gratifying fact that the loss of revenue from
the reduction in the rate of letter postage, as
recommended in my message of December,
1882 and effected by the act of March 3,
1883. has been much less than was generally
anticipated Ny recommendation of this
reduction was based upon the belief that the
actual falling of in receipts from letter post
age for the year Immediately succeeding the
change of rate would be So, 100000, 1t has
proved to be only -, 275, 900 This is a
trustworthy Indication that the revenue VIII
soon be restored to its former volume by
natural increases of sealed correspondence.
/ confidently repeat. therefore, the recon-
mendatlon of my last annual message, that
the single rate of postage upon drop letters
be reduced to one cent wherever the pay
rnent of two cents is now required by law.
The double rate is only exacted at offices
where the carrier system is in operation, and
IL appears that az these offices the in
crease in tax upon local letters defrays
the cost not oniv Of it's own collection
and delivery, hut OF the collection and delly-
erv of all other mai matter, and this Is an
irregularity that ought no longer 70 exist
