il j. certain that TIE fast mail on the coast
line wiz be continued. A day or two ago
a number Of Democratic members were
discussing the post 0eiee appropriation
bin, and they de- ided that they
would not oppose any additions which
might Be made By the senate. provided
such additions do not exceed the amounts
asked for By the Postmasler General. One
81 these gentlemen-Mr. Maybury. Of
Michigan-says that It has been decided
" several Democrats 10 give the Post
Office Department the money necessary

MARCH is to many millions of Russians
what the Fourth Of July is to all Americans,
for on that day the serfs were liberated. Dur
ing the twenty three years Of freedom which
they have now enjoyed, the freed peasants
show signs Of great improvement in every re-
spect. As to the land, the peasantry are the
largest land Owners next 10 the Crown. The
Crown owns 40s co., 900 acres, the peasants
own 81, OO0, 900 acres. and the other land pro-
prietOrs, chiefly the former serf- holders, own
27O. 900 600 acres Up to January J. 1888. the
former serfs had bought from their former
masters 50. 900, 600 acres at cost Of 7S7 coo 200
rubles $3.50. 200, 600. 1t must be kept in view
also that most Of the land 1t for farming,
owned by the Crown and the former serf-
holders, Is rented by the peasants. The fate
Of the Cars country now lies in the peasant
hands, Thus the serf has risen from chattel
to the post Of governing his country's best in

Proteetionists Reluctantly Weakening.

The predictions Of Mr.. Morrison that Dem
ocratic opposition 10 his tariff bill would
weaken az the fight progressed seem 10 have
already been verified. This weakening Is not
due TO any change Of opinion among the
Democrats who have hitherto followed Mr.
Randall II il policy, not principle, that
strengthens the Morrison bill. Not a single
Democrat Of the opposition has been con
WINGED that there is anything but evil in the
measure. but the necessity for some appear
ance Of unity in the party Outweighs theiI
objections to the bill. But it is votes that Mr.
Morrison needs, and 50 that he gets them he
is not likely to inquire very particularly into
the motive that lies back Of them.

The Gainesville Fire.

Gainesville, Fla, was badly scorched
by the flames yesterday. Two hotels were
destroyed and quite a large amount Of
other property. The entire loss is placed
at 100000. Florida towns have suffered
severely from fire within the past
year. The hotels particularly seem
to have been unfortunate. 1t is
not to be wondered at that there are dis
astrous CONGREGATIONS in Florida towns.
They are built Of very innammable wood,
and they are not well supplied with the
means for fighting fires. Very few Of
them indeed have a water supply sufi-
cient for great emergencies. There
is some consolation, however, in
the fact that almost always
the buildings destroyed are replaced by
better structures. In parts Of some Of
the towns there would be no improvement
if il were not for the fires. When the
ground is once cleared Of tumble down
and unsightly buildings the chances are
that improvements will be made in keep
ing with the changed conditions Of affairs

The average Kentuckian may lack pol
ish, but he cannot be accused of being
wanting in hard common sense. At
Frankfort, the other day, the manager Of
Sells Circus received a petition asking
him TO dispense with three of the four
rings which are usually exhibited. There
were about seyenty-iye petitioners,
among whom were Judge Pryor, Of the
Supreme Court; Col. Jones, Clerk Of the
Supreme Court; Col. j. Stoddard John
stop, Gen. John ROdman and Gen. ID. w.
Lindsay. Some Of these distinguished
gentlemen can watch the shutting Of a
polka deck pretty closely, but when it
comes to seeing the simultaneous per-
formances in four separate circus rings
they acknowledge their incompetency.
The Wing Republicans of Georgia acted
wisely in not going TO the trouble Of call
ing another convention TO nominate a
State ticket. The nomination Of Gen.
L0ngstreet is as good as any that they
could have made without going outside
their own party, which is hardly large
enough TO afford a full State ticket IN adj
dition to the necessary adj
junct Of an executive committee. AS a
party which seems TO have been organized
for the amusement Of its members and
the entertainment of the public generally,
this one has nothing vicious about il. It
has perfect right to play its part in life,
whether that part be in comedy or farce
As the party consisted of fourteen men,
bers before Mr.. Norcross' withdrawal, it
is suggested that after it enjoys the fun of
political campaign it resolve itself into
thirteen club and tempt fate with pro-
sale speeches ana good dinners.
