NEWSPAPER POSTAGE.

Hilver State: The proprietors OF
some of the Western journals attempted
about two years ago to procure the
abolition of postage on second class
mail matter. That is to say, they
desired the Government to deliver
through, the Postofiice, without charge,
newspapers and other periodicals sent
10 subscribers in parts of the United
States, just as newspapers are now
delivered to subscribers within the
limits of the county of publication.
The late Postmaster General Howe
was strongly in favor of this change.
'"There does not seem, to be any sound
reasop," he said In letter addressed
10 the Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives, "why the Government
should distribute papers free within a
county and yet charge postage on the
came papers when they cross the lines
of those counties"
There are now before Congress four
bills to abolish the postage on news
papers altog ether. There is also bill
before Congress which deserves more
consideration. 1t was introduced by
Senator Bowen, of Colorado, and it
aims to reduce the postage on second
class matter from two cents to one cent
pound, We are glad to see that
newspaper men have decided to sup
port the Bowen bill rather than TO ask
for total remission of the postage on
newspapers and other periodicals.
regularly mailed from recognized
office OF publication. The reduction
from two cents to one cent would be in
line with the recent changes in the
rates on other classes of matter, and
would tend to secure a more equitable
distribution of the cost of maintaining
the postal service. We hope to see the
Bowen bill pass.

THE NICARAGUA TREATY.
A Washington dispatch of the 2sd

A Washington dispatch OF the 2oo
says:
Senator Edmunds spoke three hours
in the executive session OF the senate,
to day in support of the Nicaragua
treaty, and did not finish his speech.
Senators who have heard all the utter
ances or the Senator from Vermont,
in secret as we'll as IN public session,
for the past ten years, say that his
speech to-day was the ablest he has
ever delivered. Beginning with the
discovery of America by Christopher
Columbus, he explained the treaty re.
lations of the United States with the
Central American Governments down
TO the time of the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty. With every detail of the nego-
tiation of that instrument, and the
action of Great Britain after its ratifi-
cation, Edmunds was perfectly famll-
lar and told the Senate what the
powers and rights of the United States
are under that treaty, and what,
without violation of international
agreements, it was at liberty to do.
Edmunds took the ground that the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty does not, In any
sense, honorably prohibit the United
States from constructing canal across
the Isthmus. He showed that after
the ratification Of this treaty, which
was made in defiance of all principles
of international comfy between great
powers, without consulting the rights
of Nicaragua, Great Britain violated
the instrument, in establishing pro.
tectorate over the Mosquito Coast
Islands, and colonizing British Hon.
duras; that in 1865, while the United
States was engaged In n civil war,
England, in violation of the Clayton
BulweF treaty, made a separate treaty
with Nicaragua similar TO That pre-
viouslo entered into by Great Britain,
but at the time England negotiated her
treaty her statesmen expected that this
Government would be overthrown by
the Secession Government established
at Richmond. Ermunds' argument
proved conclusively that the Nicara-
guam treaty can be ratified without
violation of the Clayton Bvlwer' treaty,
in view of the manner in which Great
Britain has heretofore regarded the
binding force of that instrument.

ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT.

put new light on the case, ana IL Is
possible that some people who nave
said of the, Senator, SERVED him right
will also begin to believe that there
vas some wickedness on the other side.
Il is pot, by any means, certain that he
was not served right, but he should
receive credit for resisting extortion as
he did, and thus, possibly, saving men
who have not been quite so liberalwith
theG affections, from equally ruinous
black mailing attacks. 1t is curious
how often dislike or envy is mistaken
for high regard for virtue. This is
shown in the almost universal con-
demnstion Of Sharon's lightness OF
behaviour towards the other sex. The
gentleman has many faults, many
things to recommend him, many
friends and many enemies and among
those enemies are many men whose
private lives are as bad as the Senator's,
T. Is. remarkable how suddenly their
hatred of that gentleman urged them
up the step-ladder of morality until
they reached heightfrom which they
could pour down, on his sinful sandy
hair the virtuous precepts of which

cation.
