The gathering on the historic battlefield of
Gettysburg yesterday was distinguished one
The victor and the vanquished, those who Wore
the Union blue and those whose uniform has,
been the rebel gray, united in rehearsing the
story of the terrible struggle of 1863 and in
paying eloquen; tribute to the bravery of those
who fell there. These visits to the scenes of
conflict during the late war by those who
fought under both flags must serve to soften ole
animosities and draw ali into closer loyalty to
our common country

The decision OF the U. s. Supreme Court in
the case of ex-Surgeon General Wales is lust
what THE STAR predicted when his application
for a writ of habeas corpus was first commented
upon. The acts charged against DIR. Wales
were committed while ne was in the naval
service of the United States he is still an officer
OF the navy, and the charges preferred against
him can only be taken eognizance of by q court
martial DIR. Wales had been in the service a
sufficient length of time to be aware of this fact
and 1t Is the impression of both army and navy
officers that he has prejudiced his case before
the court-martial by his anxiety to be tried by
q civil tribunal. If he Is innocent of this al
legged neglect of duty, he certainly should not
object 10 the investigation of the charges by
his brother officers, while, If guilty. court-nar-
tiai can impose a sentence of dismissal from
the service, which is beyond the power Of any
ri xyilen

Now that the glamour Of Mr. Gladstone
speech has been somewhat dimmed by his ex-
trene anxiety for a peaceful adjustment of the
Anglo-Russian difficulty, the opposition In par
lament is beginning to criticise the course of
the English ministry quite severely. Lord Ran
dolph Churchill, in stating that the government
had made base, cowardly surrender of every
point at issue to Russia expressed the senti-
ment, not only of the conservatives, but also of
the great body of the people, and it is possible
that the plan for arbitration may not work so
smoothly as the premier desires. The feeling
OF resentment against the governments action
also exists in India and there is a fear that the
safety of Sir Peter Lumsden's surveying party
may be endangered. In further criticism of the
government, 1t is asserted by the conservatives
that the war furore was excited in order to
cover the English retreat from tile Soudan and
tQ obtain credit with which to meet existing
deficits ---L-- :

President Cleveland on his Gettysburg trip
yesterday gave an illustration of his grit that
was rather amusing to the newspaper boys
along. He had declared his purpose not to
''orate" at all on the occasion, but to give his
time TO an inspection OF the vast battlefield. He
was not diverted from this purpose by any of
the calls made, and not even by the point blank
address OF welcome by Gov. Pattison. On the
return trip IL was the same. He shook hands to
Some extent. but speak he would not And his
dumbnesS was the cause of dumbness in others.
There was an immense amount of talking
talent in the Presidents car, but it was kept
bottled up because OF his refusal TO lead off,

FL Mahdi, about whom not much has been
heard lately, now comes to the front with an
attack on the British at Tambouk and Otao.
He Just wants TO remind them that he is .still
In the ring. and when the bulk of the English
forces are Withdrawn from the SOudan he will
perhaps pay his respects to those that are left,

Two Cent Letter Postage.

Third Assistant Postmaster General
Hazen has prepared for the poStmaste.-
general an elaborate statement showing
the result of an examination into the
operations for the first year of the
reduction from three cents to two cents
in the rate OF postage on domestic
letters. Mr.. Hazen, in his annual
report prepared in November, 1852.
estimated loss OF revenue amounting
to IS, 900, 900 as the probable result OF
this change In the rate OF letter postage
The actual revenue for the twelve
months ended Sept. 30, 1884, as now
shown by the audited returns was
S42, lS4 ,SU9, or 81 ,47G, ,S99 less than the
estimated revenue upon three cent
rate. This latter sum represents the
loss of revenue for the year on account
of the reduction to two cents III the
letter rate. But Mr.. HaZen thinks there
is the best reason TO believe that the
actual loss growing out of the reduc
ton was much less than shown by these
figures.
In fOrecastlng the revenue on basis
of a three cent rate, allowance WAS
cent upon "A presumed continuation of
the business prosperity of the country.
Now he says there can scarcely be a
doubt that this allowance was too high
in view of the depression in CONNER
cial and other interests that came
almost simultaneously with the reduc-
ton in the letter rate of postage, and
the reduction has been Saddled with
such losses to the postal revenue as nat
urally resulted from the unfayOrable
condition of the business interests of
the country. y loss of about 81, 800,
100, he thinks, represents more fairly
the result of the reduction in rate for
the first year in which it has been in
operation. However, the results have
more than realized the most sanguine
expectation of its warmeSt advocate.
Gen. HaZen takes occasion near the
conclusion of his statement to endorse
the new law, which goes into effect on
the first day of next July, increasing
the unit of weight on letters from half
an ounce to one ounce. Besides being
a convenience to the public he believes
it will prove beneficial to the depart
ment as a revenue measure. Unless
statistics are at fault it will not be likely
TO materially increase the average
weight of letters sent through the mail;
and it will undoubtedly induce the
sending under seal of letters large
class of valuable matter now sent in
wrapped parcels at the rates charged on
fourth class matter.
