A NOVEL STRIKE.

The last congress appropriated $4OO,-
900 to be used at the discretion of the
postmaster general in promoting the
transfer of our foreign mails on American
lines of steamers by awarding them mile
age compensation. Five companies
four of which ply from New York, and
one from San Frsncisco-immediately
jumped to the conclusion that the $780,
900 should be pro-rated as subsidy
among them. Mr.. Villas declined to
adopt that view Of the matter, as con-
gress had no. expressly authorized or or
dered it, and the consequence is that the
combined lines have gone on strike.
They refuse henceforth to carry the
mails, which of course they have Alright
TO do since they consider themselves in
adequately paid fer the service they rem
der. The postal department, declining to
be bulldozed, has perfected other arrange
ments so that the delivery of the mails
in controversy will not be delayed, but in
some instances will actually be expe-
dited.
OF course we may now expect TO hear 8
vigorous renewal of the familiar shibbo'
leth that the democratic administration
is inimical to American enterprise and Il
the prosperity Of our mercantile marine
This is a safe conclusion to jump at i

Fascination for the Great Stream

The Quincy Journal man loves river
water and clingeth closer TO it than a

hibition Iowa:
Cistern Water-River Water-What is
the difference? The river water satisfies
you and quenches thirst, and you can
