SOME comment has been recently made on
the delays in the Philadelphia postal service
under Postmaster Etarrity. The fact has been
seized upon by political opponents to make
party capital. Its slight tenure is at once
seen by the frank explanation from Mr..
Harrity. He says that whatever delay has
arisen Is due to increased business and de-
creased clerical service. A comparison of
the receipts for the first eight days of Sep
tember of 1854, 1885 and 1886 shows the in
crease in the amount of matter handled al the
Office. The receipts from all sources during
the first eight days OF September, 1884,
amounted to S3s,79l 26. This was increased
to sil,340.64 In 1885, and $40, 1853. q In 1856.
The increase In 1885 amounted to GiS per
cent. over 1884, and the increase In 1856 was
equivalent TO 20 $40 over the business han
died in 1854. 1t is fair to presume that Post
master Huidekoper did not have any larger
force than was necessary to transact the work
IN 1854. While the volume of business has
increased ~ per cent. over that year the ad-
ui.lohs .o tne iorce have amounted to only 2

that the worst is not over, and that the great

will again be visited by earthquakes, and
the trouble will extend to California and
South America. He attributes the disturb

A Remedy Needed.

AChurchtown correspondent of the Ian.
caster Inquirer, noting the fact that few
people from that vicinity attended the re-
cent county fair in this city, says 1t is due
TO the inconvenient way "our people have
OF getting to the county seat. Reading and
philadelphia are much farther-in miles
yet much nearer and cheaper by rail than
Lancaster. The Berks county as well as
20 state fair, are much better patronized
than our own, by people from this section. u
This is all wrong. Every portion of our
big county should be made to feed into the
county seat. Lancaster should be made SO
close to the remotest borders of the county
that economy, as well as local pride, would
force all to purchase their wares in this
city. The railroads that oppose themselves
to the natural growth Of this town ought
to be made feel it.

An AmIahle Man.

Our very pacific townsman, James
Black, illustrated once more his amiability
IN the meeting of the Prohibition conven-
tion at Harrisburg, by keeping quiet his
ardent friend Patton, who had resigned the
workmanship of the committee, even
though Candidate Wolfe wanted Patton to
talk and tell why he did it. Messrs. Black
and Patton, wisely considering that '' the
least said the soonest mended," refrained
from meeting their Brother Wolfe's chal.
lsnge. Brother Wolfe is not of their
kind; he is one of those fellows who are
always spelling for a fight. He might
take lesson 10 amiability from Brother
Black.

Cleveland and His Vacation.

Mr.. Cleveland has, for a president, a
u,ique idea OF pleasure; but it will be ap-
precIated by robust men generally as very
sensible idea. He goes out into the woods
where he has plenty of elbow room and
fresh air, and where he avoids a crowd
and can live without ceremony, parade and
dress, fishing, hunt ing or reading through
the days, and getting solid sleep in the
cool cir Of the nights. 1t is a
sensible vacation, but not one of the usual
presidential kind. But the president is not
OF the usual kind. He is one after more
original pattern than any we have had
since Jackson, whom he resembles greatly
In some Of the strong traits of his charac-
ter. He Is quite as determined as jackson
and as fond of his own way, and it looks
As though he was as apt TO strike a
good way. The strength of Jackson
was in his courage, resolution and
sense, and if Cleveland proves, as
there is good reason to believe, to be as
generally sensible in his motions as Old
Hickory was, he will achieve an equal fame
and success.
There is no doubt that he has the Demo-
cratic party in the hollow of his hand, not
withstanding the vigorous kicking that
has. been going on. The kicking is vain,
since the president has the country heart.
And the offices have not helped him or
his party. They have been adetriment, save
In the fact that they have enabled the
president TO demonstrate his strength in
measurably controlling them against the
greatrush upon them.
twill be very good thing for poll
ticians who are Of the order of statesmen,
when they are relieved of the need of pro.
viding offices for their constituents. 1t is
horrid patronage, and generally fatal to
! those who have it, as is testified by the
many congressman who have fallen before
the nominating conventions for the next
Congress. The president has been yielding
to the claim of congressman to control their
local patronage, although it does not seem to
be strictly in line with hisviews of civil ser.
vice methods to do so. He may have had
malicious intent to destroy the importu-
nate congressman with the fatal shaft, and
whether SO or not, it has so resulted. There
was Congressman Willis, for whom he re-
appointed the Republican postmistress :;
with the result that Mr.. Willis Democratic
constituents say they will have no more Of
him; and that ardent advocate of river
and harbor appropriations is likely to be
lost to the country.

Alexander krapotkin, Siberian exile, the
elder brother of the well-known Prince Kra-
potkin, shot himself at Tomsk on Aug 6, at

several years contributed to Russian periodi-
calls reviews OF the progress of physical as
tronolny, much priced by Russian astrouo-
mers. When at Minusinsk, and later on at
Tomsk, he busily worked at great sstronom.
ical undertaking, in which he submitted to a
strongly scientific criticism all our present
knowledge on the structure OF the stellar
systems and the architectonics OF the stellar
groups. The insuperable difficulties which
an exile to Siberia has to struggle against did
not permit the author bringing it up to a date
m ore advanced than 1879, and the work re-
manned therefore unpublished-Krap rapotki in
proposing to revise 1t as soon as he would be
iiberated-there being hope that he would be
liberated from administrative exile in Sep
tember this year. The prohibition TO stay,
after his liberation, in any university town Of
Russia, where he would have found the
means Of revising his work, was one OF the
black points OF his future life.
