TRUE manhood is never even the clrculator
Of word breathed derogatory to q woman's
honor. True manhood lets each word about a
woman's honor stop with the hearing even
though 1t be true True manhood never sus-
poets or harbors others suspicious of woman
until there is no longer loop left whereon to
hang n doubt, From the men who slander
woman manhood revolts and turns away nau-
seated. .-MeRphis Ardianche.
The above is so true, so good picture OF
manhood In its relations to woman that It
is worthy Of the widest circulation. There
are in every community creatures called
men who seek to enhance their own i'm
portance among animals of their own sort
by insinuating that they have made con-
quests.

A MAINE newspaper, speaking Of the
gallant soldier whom the Democrats Of
that state have put ut the head Of their
ticket to catch few Republican votes,
says: "a man that can capture a whole
company Of rebels with only Kentucky
fence to back him will make good gov
ernor, be he Democrat or Republican" We
can conceive Of man who could do any
possible feat or arms and still he unfit for
high civil office. But Col. Edwards is on
the Kentucky side of the fence this time,
and will be defeated by men who respect
him for his good army record, but have no
use for his political creed or party.

IT Is significant that the President adopts
the past tense in writing to Secretary Manaing
concerning the hope he has entertained of Sc.

1t seems to us the most natural thing In
the world to adopt the past tense in speak

may have entertained that the Democratic
party could pull itself together and carry
out any Of its pledges.

TIE opponents of free schools think they

The opponents OF free schools think they
settle the matter when they say: TT is
cheaper not to collect taxes than to collect
them and redistribute them among the peo-
ple." This applies as well to state as to
federal taxation, but In neither case is 1t
any more true or pertinent, with respect to
public education and other like matters,
then II would be to say that rain is a mis-
take in the economy OF nature, for that is a
collection and redistribution of water that
can be escaped by letting the water remain
where It is. Without rain, however, there
would be general drought aud stagnatlon;
without public education there are corre-
spending consequences.

THE EIGHT HOUR LAW.
Expense and Effect OF Bringing Letter
Carriers and Other Postofiice EN-
ployes Within This Law,


A communication from the Postmaster Gan.
eral was laid before the House yesterday, in
answer to an inquiry by the committee on rules
as to the additional expense and probable effect
of the passage of the bill bringing letter car
rieTs and employees of the postoilice Department
within the provisions of the eight hour law
The inclosed reports from chiefs OF bureaus
show that the application of the eight hour
law would nepesSitate the employment OF ten
additional labOrers In the department at an In.
creased cost of SC 600, In the free delivery SER
vice the additional expenses would he o 2O9
carriers st 5000, sl32i 500; zoos satchels (s115).
H,Ti7; additional house hire, s2 800: additional
car fare, .s6,S75 additional carrier furniture
QlS oiiices), $500; total amount for first year,
N,3A,e22. The superintendent of this service
says: So ,,
owing to the frequent changes in the time OF
arrival and departure of nails which will re-
quire reorganization of the force from time TO
time. Even with the Increase In the number
OF carriers, q majority of the postmasters ex-
press grave doubts as to their ability to literally
comply with this law and at the same time
render satisfactory service to the public"
The Postmaster General says:
ut is not perhaps, within the contemplation
OF the proposed act that railway mail clerks
should be embraced within II; but, IL that Is
considered, the superintendent of the railway
mail service suggests very pertinent reasons
and embarrassment so great as TO interfere
seriously with the distribution of the mails.
lie says, in conclusion, that while letter car
riers are, in many places, on duty more than
eight hours, Yet their actual labor frequently
does not reach eight hours.'

Public Free Education.

The New York Times says that the Blair
school bill is dead, and that 1t cannot be
resuscitated. 1t may, with more truth and
probability, be remarked that the party and
politicians who proclaim the death OF the
bill, or unite in tho attempt to kill 1t, are
themselves either dead or thereby doomed
to death. At this very moment, In spite OF
the brutal tactics Of Democratic House OF
Representatives against the bill, the princi-
pie and policy Of the measure were never
SO strongly intrenched in popular favor.
But perhaps the Times does not believe
this to be popular government, and that,
therefore, 1t makes very little difference
what the masses of the people may
think and feel upon any public question.
In any case, however, our New York con-
temporary is badly mistaken. The popular
will always vindicates itself in this country,
and, in the present instance, this will is
represented by the Republican party, which,
having twice passed the Blair bill through
the United States Senate, will never abandon
1t until II shall become law. The Demo-
cratic efforts to slay the bill will not be the
least among the causes which win take the
House from Democratic hands and give
control of II to the Republicans.

1t will not do to imagine that, because
the chief object of the Blair bill is to educate
the rising generations of children at the
south, therefore the people of the country
at large have no interest in It. That false
notion led many widely astray in their con-
clusions as to the slavery question. Why
should the north, east, and west worry
themselves about the local slavery at the
southS Yet remember what happened
Here, now, too, this southern Ignorance Is
brought into national politics by the very
force of that emancipation which the nation
declared and confirmed. The colored
population OF the south are made citizens
by the federal constitution, and as practi-
cal result Of the war between north and
south. The colored males there, as rapidly
as they reach 81 years of age, become
legally entitled to vote; and recent
events have taught all men
In this country, that much depends
