ACCORDING TO the Washington Post,
the postmaster general is receiving
complaints from the newly appointed
fourth-Class postmasters all over the
country that they are being boycotted
by the Republicans. The latter are
accus, Of supplying themselves with
stamps from the large cities and Of
mailing their letters on the cars. In
some places, also, they have banded
together aud refuse to rent boxes, and
adopted other freeze out" methods.
The income Of fourth-class postmas-
ter depends upon his cancellations
aud sale Of stamps, and consequently
this method of boycotting, If persisted
in, would denrive such officer of a
good share of their legitimate pay. 1t
cannot be claimed that this is very
manly way to express disgust with a
Democratic national administration,
but the wOrriment it gives these newly
made postmasters, who imagined that
their troubles were at an end when
they received their appointments, will
not escape the sense Of humor of the
American people. And Postmaster
General Villas proposes to dignity these
complaints by calling the attention Of
congress to them.

Whoever will point the way to re.

especially the average cost OF food, will

Importance There can be no question
that at present there is considerable
amount of waste which might be pre-
vented in the consumption of even the
most necessary foods. How shall We
discover the direction in which this
waste goes on and how to provide for
its prevention. Here is a problem
worthy of the scientist, the economist
and the philanthroplst. The way TO a
fruitful investigation of the problem
has been pointed out by that unweary.
ing student of economics, Mr.. Edward
Atkinson, in a recently published ad.
dress on the application Of sci
ence to the production and con.
sumption of food.
AZ best the margin upon which the
average man has TO depend to procure
his food, clothing and shelter is mar
row one; Mr.. Atkinson places it from
40 TO - cents a day. In what way can
the revelations OF science help man,
especially the laboring man, TO live
within this average income! In the
first place man must be taught to
satisfy his appetite and keep up his
strength with cheaper though sufficiently
nutritious forms OF food than those now
in common use. \ knowledge of the
chemistry Of food must be ditfused so
that the average man can himself un-
dertake the task of selection,
This, however, is only one side of the
problem The area of profitable agri.
cultural cultivation must be extended.
Lands now unproductiye and barren
must be reclaimed. The land must be
fortified Tn chemistry of agriculture
must lie mastered and its results ap-
piled. Means for attracting and COM
bining the necessary elements of fertiliza-
ton from the soil and atmosphere must
be discovered and employed. Who
ever, says Mr.. Atkinson, 'can attract
the nitrogen of the atmosphere and
combine it with potash of Germany and
phosphateS of South Carolina or Canada

THE PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION.

OF all the plans for regulating the
succession to the presidency in case OF
the death, resignation or inability Of
the persons designated by the consti-
tuition, that of Senator Hoar seems
most TO commend itself to conserva-
tive citizens. His bill, which was
passed by the senate last June, but
which was not voted on in the house,
vests the succession in such members
of the Presidents cabinet as are eligi-
ble to the presidential Office under the
constitution, beginning with the Sec
re2ry of state. The chief merit Of
the bill is that it provides a number of
successors TO accord with the general
policy of the head of the administra-
tion, thus minimizing, rs far as pos
sible, possible political dangers grow
ing out Of physical accident, The act
of 1872, by which the succession is
regulated at present, provides only
two Successors in case of the death of
both president and vice president,
viz: The president of the senate and
the speaker Of the house, and there
may occur cases when, rs was the case
recently, neithero of these officers is in
existence. The Hoar bill, on the
other hand, provides seven possible
SUCCESSOR, whose places, generally
speaking, are always filled. The iu-
terests of public tranquility will un-
doubtedly be better suhservcd by the
Hoar bill than by the act of 1872.
Under that act cases may occur, rs for
instance in the recent cunjuncture,
when the death of the president and
that of his probable successor would in
each case involve temporary changes
of political control in the executive
office, while under the HOar bill such
a change would he under ordinary cir
cumstauccs an impossibility. There
should be no difficulty in securing the
passage of Senator Hoar's bill early in
the coming session of congress. IL
passed in the senate last year, and
there should be no reason for OppOsl-
lion to il on the part of the majority
in the house this year.-Bradstrvet

A NOVELTY IN ORGANS.
One which Il Built Upon the Model of
ths HumlA Threat.
~

One which Il Built Upon the Model of
the Hnmla Threat.
New York Times
One of the greatest novelties shown
at the franklin Institute exhibition, in
Philadelphia, is the yocalian organ.
The inventor has followed the process
of producing sound which is peculiar to
the vocal organs of men and animals,
and by this method great sorority,
purity, aud strength are obtained by
more compact means than those en-
ployed in tile pipe organ.
In the vocalian organ the wind is
conducted into the wind chest, which
represents the human lungs, by wind
trunk from the bellows below. Leading
out from this chest is q throat, resem.
bling the trachea, and short distance
within and across the throat is pecul-
lar reed. which performs the same
function as the vocal chord in the human
throat. The sound produced by the
vibration of the reed meets with con.
traction little distance further within
the throat similar TO that at the fauces,
whence il enters into the mouth cavity.
TUT lON lOlCs JutTS are large lUTOdtS
anlreedS and mouths a foot SQUARE and
for high notes proportionally short
throats and small reeds and mouths. In
each mouth cavity is round hole, cor
responding 10 the nasal opening of tho
human SUBJECT and performing the same
function for the vocalian that the nos
tril does for tho man, assisting the
vibration and modifying or improving
the quality Of the sound emitted.
The advantages claimed by the vocal
ian organ is that it remains in perfect
tune. Pipe organs being sub ect to the
influence of changes Oftcmperature their
pitch varies with heat or cold, and to
the refined ear they are seldom in per.
feet tune The merit claimed for the
vocalian is that certain of its stops are
even finer than any known to the pipe
organ, and that in the matter of power
il is equivalent to the pipe organ, eX-
ccpt in the heavier bass notes, which,
in the inventor opinion, do not require
a greater yoDms than that of the yO-
calian
