WASHINGTON, June 10, l8s

WASHINGTON, June l3, 1884.
Downward the course of postage takes its
wayj and the lower it gets the better tfe
people like it. The latest change in Il @
law permits not only newspaper publishers,
but everybody else to send newspapers
through the mails at the rate of one cent
Tor every four ounces. This practi cally
gives the country one cent newspaper
postage act, for very few newspa pers, even
with cumbrous supplements, weigh more
than four ounces. The reform will be very
popular, outside Of the post Office depart
ment; that Is, that it sees its labors increase
while the receipts diminish.
1t is a matter of regret that Congress can.
not be induced TO do something for the
Botanical Gardens attached to the Capitol
grounds The hot houses are in wretched
condition, and the plants kept there are ac
tually suffering from want OF room. 1t is
to be doubted whether finer specimens of
palms can be found anywhere in the world
within hot. houses, of course. There are
specimens fully seventy fee! high which
crowd their broken tops against the glass
roof and present a pitiable spectacle Of ne,
gect and carelessness. The superintendent
can probably do no better than he does,
under the present circumstances What
seems necessary is to raise the roof. This
could probably DO done at the cost of
couple Of thousand dollars. Ifthe average
congressman could be induced to take some
interest ia such things, The amount neces-
sary for making suitable alterations W uuld
be voted readily enough perhaps.
Talking about plants reminds me Of the
old trees in the grounds surrounding the |
White HOUSE. They are decaying one by |
one, Scarcely one remains to-day that is |
as old as the mansion. A number have |
fallen this summer under the axe ami few |
remain with any historical associations at |
tached to them. There are still some under |
whose branches Presidents stood long ago |
and into the bark OF which their children
cut their initials.
The President has saved many a tree
which the landscape gardener in his fury
for improvement wished to condemn.
When decay, however, shows itself too
plainly there is nothing to do but cut the
tree down. New trees, Of course, are plant
cd as fast as the Old ones tall, but it will be
years before the grounds can glory again in
such fine old trees as have beautifed them
in the past.
The indications are chat there will be
another dead lock between the two houses
Of Congress, on the question Of a law to
regulate the electoral count. Some time .
ago the Senate passed the Edmunds bill /
which provides that the two houses Of Con-
gress shall meet jointly TO count the vote
In the House Mr.. Eaton has amended the .
bill so as to require the two houses to meet /
in joint convention. The difference is a |
great one. II the houses meet jointly, each /
house will, in The decision ol any coEtro-
verIed point, act as q whole. That is, one

THE STATUE OF HIS MAJESTY.

We have seen q sketch of the
statue of His Majesty which M.
Michiels proposed to erect in Homo
lulu with the subscriptions for which
he has applied abroad. The pedes-
tai was twelve feet high, to be con-
structed of blue Belgian stone. On
the front were designed the Hawaiian
coat of arms, on the back lei, and
on the sides the following inscrip-
ton, Kalakaua l, King of Hawaii,
Homage from his people and friends" !"
in English on one side, and in Ha-
waiian on the opposite side. From
corner to corner of the pedestal gar
lands of flowers, cut in stone, were
represented. The statue of His Ma
jesty was to be eight feet high, made
of bronze, and to represent His Ma
jesty in His Prussian uniform. The
inscriptions were to be in gilt letters
and the total cost of the statue,
which appeared to be very hand
some one, would be $4,000.
M. Michiels said that he had not
intended to mention his plans, in
Honolulu, as long as Mr.. Gibson
remained in office, because he knew
that he would receive no support, in
carrying out his ideas, from the
general public, until there be another
Premier.

THE Annapolis Gazette says, it
speaks anthoritatiyely when it states
that Mr.. J. Writ RANDALL, of this city,
declines to permit his name to be used
for congressional honor. Mr.. Randall,
personally, is most popular gentle
men, and undoubtedly would be the
strongest candidate that the Repub-
licans of this district could name.
The republican party this fall will
have no easy walk over, for Mr..
Compton is not only personally a
popular gentleman, but has tremen-
dous political backing, and these two
gentlemen, in our opinion, are, per-
sonally about evenly balanced in this
district. Mr.. Randall has many
warm friends outside of his own party,
and his record as a member of the
House of Delegates from this county
last winter would make him decided
" the strongest man the Republicans
