THE Postmaster Generals report, OF
which we print as full digest as our space
win permit, is an interesting document that
will be amply discussed in these columns
before further postal legislation is at
tempted. We have no doubt that, in the
course Of time, the Postmaster General will
be convinced that the ocean mail law was
mandatory.

So LONG as the national Democratic party,
through its press and leaders, utters no
word of protest against the efforts of the
Ohio Democrats to secure power by proven
and confessed fraud, the national Demo-
cratic party will be properly regarded as
sympathizing with the Ohio scoundrels.

THE Chicago Times says; "The Germans
are expelling Americans from Germany /;
why should we not reciprocatc, and cxpel
some Germans from America ?" The Times
can scarcely be serious In proposing that
sort Of reciprocity. The Germans in the
United States are, as rule, good citizens.
1hcy came here to be Americans. Many
Of them left their own country to find
greater liberty than is permitted under Bis
marck. We have done all that could be
done to induce German immigration, and
It has been a great factor in our national
progress. Our government should insist
on fair treatment Of Observation-Disclosures
native or nGturali2ed--in Germany, but it
would Le The height Of absurdity aud folly
TO hold German-American responsible for
the acts Of the Bismarck government.

THE best jokes are perpctratcd unintcn-

NJ. quad, Eugene Field, nor any other of
the humorists of the period could write
anything funuier than is gotten off by an

who, IN the bowels Of ponderous and
solemn leader, says Of the present Demo-

IN the present very uncertain condition

1T required good deal Of moral courage
on the part Of the President to decide not

have required no courage at all. Political
ambition urged him to go. A sense of pub

THE Baptist clergymes of Boston have
simply done what duty required in expel-
ling Downes from their conference and put
ting the seal of their condemnation on his
character. If he continues to hire hall
and draw crowds to see and hear him, the

proach. 1t is shameful for such a man to
administer the right of baptism, but there
is no law to be appealed to for the preven-
tion Of such performance.
