The Attorney-General OF the United
States recently decided that postmasters
are not entitled to fees from money-ordeTs
in post-oflices in which the money-order
business is done by Il clerk instead OF by
the postmaster IN person, and that any
such fee taken by postmasters must be re-
turned. The amount OF money already
taken by postmasters in this way is estl-
mated at S25O,OO0 to 100000. In order to
get definite ruling on the matter the case
OF General Dick, the postmaster OF Bloom
ington, H.. has been made test-case to
be decided by Judge Drummond, OF the
Federal Court at Chicago.

himself out with lot OF booty. He robbed

BOutellc's BIOOdy-Shirf Performance
fBOstOn Globe, Democratic.


The efIectual manner in which the dash.
| ing but light-waisted Boutelle, of Maine,
| was crushed in the National House OF Rep
resentatives on Monday should be a warn.
| ing light on the political coast to ambitious
| but hali-baked statesmen for all time to
| come. We had noticed an incidental boom
| for Boutelle in the Washington CORE
spondence OF the esteemed Journal. We
expected that Boutelle would soon try to
flap the wings Of his oratory and blaze into
Washington life like 4 meteor. At least
that was evidently his hope.
He had prepared to " lire the northern
heart" on the bill to abolish the iron clad
oath. The Journal correspondent states
that the question came up Unexpectedly to
Captain Boutelle, yet he came to the front
CALAMITY. The real fact was that he had
been loaded with a speech for month.
Captain Boutelle opposed the repeal OF
the irOn-clad oath, and made ridiculous
speech on southern outrages He was
jeered ut by the Republicans as well rs
Democrats, and hooted down by men OF all
parties Ten members voted with him and
$50 against him. After the vote an old
member said: "In all my experience /
never saw man so badly sat upon by the
House us Boutele was to-day"
Truth crushed TO earth has very proper
and healthy way OF rising again. Not so
with Boutele. He is crushed forever. He
cannot rise. He did not even get in Dis
rael's remark made many years ago on u
similar occasion: "Thc time Is coming
when you will hear me-" Boutclle knew
that his rush-light had gone out forever.
How different the result from what CAP
tain Boutelle expected In his minds eye
he was TO have risen Yesterday morning q
famous man. The praises of Boutele OF
Maine were to ring out in all the cities and
towns and hills and valleys Of the loyal
North. Boards OF trade, union leagues,
city governments even, were to tender
banquets. Republican papers which are In
the President.making line were to have
rushed to the front with the suggestion,
Why not make the ticket "Arthur and
BouteHe"; or, better yet, "Boutelle and
Arthur? Steamers. ferry-boats, mines,
rocking-horses, streets. and children were
to be named after him by the score.
Blaine was all very well In his day,
but Names favorite son in 1884 was
by comparison to make pigmy
OF the former giant. The tumble
was terrible. To be ANONYMOUSLY
coughed down in any assembly is bad
enough, but 10 be crushed and sat upon
by the House OF Representatives at WASH
ington Is to be placed IN hole compared
with which solitary cell at Concord is a
welI-spring OF pleasure. Though Captain
Boutclle will continue to draw a salary,
Maine has a vacancy In her delegation
which ought to be filed in her next cleo
ton. Boutelle Is evidently too small for
Washington, and serves simply to Illus
trate the proycrb that the higher monkey
climbs the stronger proof do we get OF the
Darwinian theory that there are some SAM
pies which never get over the symptoms OF
the original package.

lsprlneaeld Republican. Republican,
Captain Boutelle, Of Maine, made him
sell and the bloody-shirt issue ridiculous
before the House and the country by OPP
posing the resolution for abrogation Of the
iron-clad oath. Even the Republicans
helped sit down on Boutelle, and Mr.. Cox,
OF New York. patronlzingIy told the new
member from Maine that he T" would know
more In time" This Is open to doubt.
"oUT OF DUE TIME:"
boston Herald. Independent Republican,
Mr.. BoutelIe, OF Maine, ought TO have
gone to Congress earlier. While he has
been nursing his wrath to keep it
warm" in the latitude OF Bangor the years
have rolled on until more than half the
voters OF the country have come OF age
since the war closed. This Is why Mr..
Boutelle's maiden effort in the House OF
Representatives was not so much Of sue
cess as his zeal and capacity promised.
The resolve to repeal the iron-clad oath
comes not too soon. IL Is relic OF the sad
ciyil-war times, now In the dim past, and
on the wise principle that only perishable
trophies Of civil war should be erected, the
iron-clad oath and other reminders OF the
civil war should go. Mr.. Boutcllc says he
desires TO make an eternal distinction be-
tween loyalty and treason. 1t Is already
made. Loyalty is best vindicated by per-
feet reconciliation between the sections.

MORRlSON'S VICTORY.

Mr.. MORRISON won victory on
Monday for the free trade wing Of the
Democratic party, over which there will
be no exultation. No doubt a good
many of those who voted with him
would have been glad if he had been
defeated. Whether the tariff reduction
bill passes or not, the Democratic party
has irrevocably committed itself to the
anti-protective policy, and must stand
or fall by the record made in the House
The country will accept this as the SOL
emn, deliberate action Of the party
through its accredited representatives,
and will pass judgment accordingly. If
the people want a tariff for revenue
only they will elect Democratic Pres
ident and a Democratic Congress to
carry out the policy which the Demo
cratic majority in the House of Repre-
sentatives has inaugurated.
The vote in the House on the mo-
ton to take up the bill was very close
40 yeas to 1873 nays. a change OF
two votes would have put the anti-tariff
men in the minority, and the Morrison
bill might have remained on the table
until the Presidential nominations were
made but the so-called tariff reform
ers were determined to test the strength
Of the opposition, and in doing this
they have presented an issue which
will absorb all other issues in the Pres
idential campaign.
There were only five Republican
votes in favor of taking up the bill.
For the sake of consistency and prin-
| ciple, the Republicans were obliged to
vote against any agitation of the tariff
question, but for political reasons they
all would have been glad to assist Mr.
Morrison in getting his 20 per cent
| horizontal reduction scheme where il
will do the most harm to the Demo.
cratic party. No Republican felt sorry
when it was announced that the motor
had been carried by two majority. The
election of Republican President la:
been assured by the indiscreet actor
of the free traders. Every speecl
made in opposition to the protective
system while the bill is pending vii
prove an effective campaign documen
for the Republicans, and if the Morri
son bill is passed, the Presidential rac'
will be practically walk-over for TIT
Republican candidate.

of Congress should unite in doing
honor to one who has served the Coun-
try so honorably under both Demo
cratic and Republican administrations,
for Fremont received his first commits
sion in the regular army from Prcsi-
dent Van Buren,, and his last one from
President Lincoln, and between these
two administrations he rendered ser

Mr.. Arthur has avoided the fatal error
of Tyler, Fillmore and Johnson, in that
he has had no policy of his own in oppo-
sition to the clear.y defined policy of his
party. 1t has been objected that his
administration has been uneventful.
This is true, and it is creditabe that it
is so. He is evidently a firm believer in
the sound doctrine that country is
governed best that is governed the least,
and he has done nothing sensational or
startling because there was nothing of
that kind to he done. lie has performed
the duties of his office with becoming
dignity and withal an absolute fidelity
that has disarmed his enemies, and,
what would not have been deemed pos
sible two years ago, has made himself
one of the possible candidates for the
succession. And this has been brought
about purely through his admirable con.
duct of his public duties, and not by any
organized effort of his own, nor because
of any expressed desire on his part to be
considered candidate. AHA Sot.
