The Troy Times has the following which
contains considerable truth to the square
inch; 1.-The opinion OF Postmaster Gen
ersl Villas is that American steamship com.
panies should be compelled by law TO
carry the mails for whatever compensation
he may choose to allow them. OF course,
bis subordinate, Mr.. Bell, superintendent
OF the foreign mail service, concurs in that
view OF the matter. That is the sort
OF encouragement the Democratic admin.
istration proposes to offer for revival OF
commercial marine interests in the United
States. Why does not the Postmaster
General suggest the same rule for the
Transmission OF mails by steamboat, rail.
road and stage coach routes within the
jurisdiction OF the Government? Simply
because it could not be enforced Com
pliance could be secured only on the part
OF ocean steamships only by refusing
them clearances IN cases OF recalcitrancy.
Both Mr.. Villas aud Mr. Bell entertain
strong preferences for foreign steamships.
That is in line with Democratic policy
generally, which favors foreign manufac-
lures above American manufactures.

Of 10 little public inieres, ,hs, they might
better have bsen lief. out and incorporated
into the npor, Of the department, where
they belong
The three most important subjects In
the message are civil service reform. the
tariff and SILVER coinage The President
spprehends danger from the continued
coinage Of silver. says that people have
already begun to hoard gold. and II silver
coinage is continued much longer gold and
silver will part company, gold will be at .
premium and We shall practically have q
currency the basis Of which will be the
~ cent silver dollar. We think the Presi-
dent Is right and we hope he will BIO able
TO make bis party in Congress see 1t in
that light.
10 regard TO the tariff be thinks the
revenue should be reduced TO the absolute
needs Of the government economically ad.
ministercd, which may be sound doctrine
In one sense, but judging from the appro-
priations asked for by the various depart
ments 1t will never become Q practical
question during this administration, the
revenue will have to be increased instead
Of reduced.
The President still sticks TO his civil
service reform text, and brings up sons
sound arguments in support OF his the
cries, but be has violated bis own doctrine
so often 10 practice that it will occasion
serious doubts MS to his sincerity. Perhaps
party pressure may account for his short
comings 10 this direction, as he himself
intimates that has been enormous and that
he has doubts whether the government
could long sustain such strain rs would
arise from this source without q civil ser

Morton with one or two other wealthy
