and postal notes is reported The
average amount sent by this method
has decreased slightly and postal notes
have steadily grown in popularity,
while money-orders have decreased
proportionately. The revenue from
this service is sufficient to make it self
sustaining. The experiment of the
special delivery service, which has only
been tried for year, seems to work
very well. About 3, 900, 900 letter-sheet
envelopes have been used since their
introduction in October. These are
furnished by the United States Postal
Card Company and the government is
at no expense. 1t is expected that the
demand for these sheets will increase.
The carelessness observed in business
operations is shown by the statistics of
the dead-letter bureau, over 10000 let
tiers, containing about 81 100000, hav-
inc been returned to the writers. Only
sixteen differing postmasters have been
detected during the year, but 4S7 post
offices, twenty-seven mail-stages and
seven mail-messengers were robbed,
and 269 post-oflices and seventy-six
postal cars were burned. The post
master-general admits that only one
tenth of our ocean mail service is
carried in American bottoms, and he
fails to make any practical suggestion
for improvement in this respect. His
principal recommendations are in re-
card to the extension of the free-de-
livery service and the betterment of the
methods of foreign distribution. The
surprising increase in the postal reve-
nue. this year is noted as a sure indi-
cation of the revival of business in this
country.

A Tribute to Ex-President Arthur.
SYRACUSE, n. Y, Nov. q

SYRACUSE, n. Y, Nov. 81, 1886.

with each other. 1t is a noble trait in you.

very mountains and streams" | have no
doubt that there is vast deal of this Yer
mont loyalty to its own sons that may be
fairly traceable to the grand outward fea-
lures of our state. But no matter how you
or any other account for 1t, am quick to
see, and very grateful to acknowledge, that
there is very strong and most tender tie
existing between these Nermonters, es-
pecially between those who have gone ont
from the dear old state and are found here
and there in thousand cities and commu-
mites of the land. With an undying love
we love the old Green Mountains, and the
memory of the noble men and women who
have made the state as pure, as patriotic, as
truly American as any in the whole grand
sisterhood of states that make up the grand
est nation on this earth Here in this CEN
trail city of New York, which is the very
paradise of the country in material re-
sources, and which to so large an extent rep
resetts the ancestral lineage and virtues of
old New England, l find an immense 10y
atty among the sons of Vermont who in so
many professions and occupations are, by
their upright living and well-earned sue
cess, comforting honor on the old state,

death of eX-President Arthur has called out

No Verdict Found.

This was the result last week in the
trial of McQuade, one of the " Doodle ="
aldermen in New York city-the jury
standing three for conviction and nine
for acquittal. 1t is rumored that the
jury was tempered with. However
this may be, the evidence against Nc
Quade was sufficient to insure his con-
viction, and under the circumstances
the disagreement of the jury is dis
graceful fact and reflects discredit
upon the jury system. The " inside
facts - of the great Broadway railroad
franchise scandal were yielded up in
the trial by Aldermen Fullgraff and
Duffy. Fullgraff testified that thirteen
aldermen met at his factory in May,
1884. after the adjournment of the
regular meeting. McQuade, the de-
PENDANT, was among the number. The
thirteen agreed to stick together. AT
a subsequent meeting it was understood
that the Broadway railroad company
was ready to pay 5000, 900 for fran
chise, of which S325,000 was to be
divided among the thirteen, giving
them S25,0 900 each. After the veto
another meeting was held, when each
mans share was reduced to $4,000.
Fullgraff himself received SIS, 900 in in
stallments. Duffy's testimony agreed
substantially with that of Fullgraff, to
the effect that the " combine" made
arrangements to receive, and did re-
ceive, this large amount of money. 1t
is evident that this evidence was wholly
disregarded by the nine jurors, and
that they had no honorable reasons for
their action. McQuade will have
another trial this week, but will en-
deavor to escape conviction. If he is
successful, it is hardly possible that any
of his d" Doodle" associates can be
brought to punishment.

Explanation of the Cause of Blaine's
Refusal to Speak to EdmundS.

The New York Tribune says: " Erroneous
reports being in circulation i'll regard to
scene between Mr.. Blaine and Senator Ed
munds, it is proper that the facts be accu-
rately stated On Sunday afternoon (No-
vember 21) Mr.. Blaine paid visit to the
house of eX-Presdent Arthur, and, as he
entered the parlor, Senator Edmunds came
forward with great apparent cordially,
extending his hand and saying, How do
YOU do Mr. Blane?' Mr.. Blaine stood with
in the position familiar to all who have met
him. and made no response, simply looking
Mr.. Edmunds in the eye. Seeing some EN-
barrassment, Clayton McNIchael said, You
know the senator Mr.. BLAINE? Mr.. Blaine
remained perfectly silent and Mr. Ed
munds, at length apparently comprehending
the situation, retreated to ~the sofa from
which he had risen. a few minutes later
Mr.. Blaine expressed to Mr.. McMiChael and
Mr.. Miller his sincere regret that an act
imperatively demanded from him should
have occurred in the house of mourning.
Mr.. Blaine made no explanation of his mo-
tive but the presumption is that he was
not anxious to shake hands on Sunday with
a man who had slandered him on Saturday.
The marvel is that Mr.. Edmunds made the
approach. 1t was on Saturday that Mr..
Edmunds' letter was published by his
friends, and apparently with his approval,
distinctly intimating his belief that Mr..
Blaine was a dishonest man"
The New York EreHjHg Post, an anti
Blaine paper, thus comments on the above:
"This is not entirely satisfactory, and evil
IDENTIFY needs to be supplemented by an
Edmunds version 1t does not make clear
why Mr.. Edmunds. who is decidedly cold
reserved man, should wish to shake hands
with a man of whom he held the opinion
which he undoubtedly holds of Mr. Blaine,
and of whom he felt it necessary to speak
publicly. as he has spoken of Mr.. Blaine.
Mr.. Blaine's conduct as described was,
however, eminently proper. He ought not
to shake hands with anybody who feels as
Mr.. Edmunds feels about his transactions.
In fact nobody should shake hands with
anybody whom he considers knave, and
no knave should shake hands with anybody
who he has reason to believe considers him
knave and who has publicly denounced
him as such. In the present condition of
modern society such persons are often
brought together under neutral roofs, and
are often unwittingly introduced TO each
other by innocent hosts Under such cir
cumstances civility to the host calls for some
sort of momentary recognition, but bow
will always answer the purpose. The hand
shake, as the French call it, should be re-
served for people whom one neither hates
nor despises."

The Postal Service.

The annual report of the postmaster
general for the fiscal year ending July
/, 1886, presents the usual interesting
facts. The number of letters mailed
during the year was 100, 900, 900 greater
than any other country in the world,
while the postal rates, considering the
average distance, are the smallest
known. In immensely and extent of
means, of expenditures, of perform
ance and results, the postal machinery
of the United States exceeds that of
any other nation on the globe. We
have 3,6l4 post-ofiices, of which 2,244
are on the presidential list. The en-
tire cost of the postal service for the
wear has been $51 100000, and the de-
ficiency is S6,900,000 This is in part
due to the reduction of the rate of post.

crease in the unit of weight in first
class matter. Considering the ratio OF

The Biennial System.

Here is paragraph from Boston paper
" Vermont is widely congratulated upon the
fact that her legislature meets but once in
two years and then adjourns inside of two
months
Here is one from another Boston paper.
" vermont moreover. is blessed with the
biennial system, and the suggestion becomes
still stronger when il is seen that all neces-
sary legislation for two years, and some of
it having considerable Importance, is dis
posed of in less than two months, while six
months out of every year is spent by our
slow going legislators in fixing up laws for
the other six months"
1t is possible that the advantages of the
biennial system and of short sessions are
greater than their evils, but our Massachu-
sets friends, where this question is con-
stantly pending, should not understand that
the system is without evils. Every session
makes them apparent, 1t brings together a
large and increasing proportion of men who
have had no legislative experience, They
can hardly be said to be qualified for legis-
laton until they have been together at least
six weeks. Then they rush with undue
haste, and the result is a great deal of crude,
and sometimes eXtravagant, work and the
omission of as much more that ought to
have been done. Under this system it is
practically impossible to thoroughly digest
a complicated subject. Ii was because of
this that Mr., Marsh of Woodstock intro
duced and the most enlightened journals
favored a bill at the recent session to post
pone legislation on the school question for
two wears and to appoint a commission
which should study the subject and report a
bill for the improvement of existing methods
This seemed to MS to be the best way under
the circumstances, but legislatures are ieal-

The Hartford Euening Post, in dis
coursing upon the practically limitless
use to which electricity can be put,
saws: cit has already been demon
strated that motors can be successfully
run bv means of it, and a few weeks
ago came the announcement of trial
trip made by steamer across the En-
gish channel, the agent used being
electricity. The statement is now made,
on the authority of the Pail Mall Ga
zette. that the fluid has been tried with
success in cremating bodies in Italy,
where the experiments have attracted
great interest. An intense heat is gem
Grated and the body is said to be evapo-
rated instantly, with none of the disa-
greeable odors attending the usual meth
DDS of cremation. The possibilities of
electricity do indeed seem boundless,
and it is more than probable that its
future is as far beyond what it has now
attained as the telegraph is ahead of
the numbering stage-coach of our fore
fathers. Electricity will doubtless be
to unborn generations what steam is
to this, and much more. 1t is even
possible that the young idea will be
taught to shoot with it,"
