The proposed extension of the free deliv-
cry system, which has been recommended
by the House Committee on Post-onices and
Post-roads, applies TO all cities having pop
ulation Of ten thousand, according to gen
eral census taken under authority of State or
Federal laws; provided that each of such Of
noes Yielded a gross postal revenue for the
hscal year prior to establishment of not less
IMAM $4,000. If this bill be enacted into
law, Hwould extend the system to forty-three
cues Should the service be extended to
tnese cities on the 1st of July next, and be
es'aphSned in all of them on that day, the
cost ior the next fiscal year would be $115,-

Mr. Powderly again shows in his last Sc
cret circular to the Knights of Labor that
he is the possessor of level head. His adj
vice is wholesome throughout Whether the
knights bcc0p1o- a-pazuar for good to the
workingman or a power for evil depends al
most entirely on the course they pursue.
They are in more danger from the excuses of
their own hot headed members than from
the opposition of monopolists. A thousand
Jay Goulds fighting them with all their abil-
tiles and resources cannot do them SO much
injury as one Martin Irons with his rash
and ill-considered counsel

Not single Democratic member of the
New York legislature voted for the prohibit
tory amendment. And yet there are plenty
of temperance men in New York who will
assist that party to obtain power by support

The New York Sun says that Martin
Irons is making strong effort to get himself
elected Grand Master Workman of the
Knights of Labor at the general convention
soon to be held in Cleveland. He is proba-
bly, wasting his time and energy, however.
There may be an element in the organization
which would prefer Ireas 10 MFR. row

According to the Advertiser the report
that Judge Cleayes has consented to run
again for Congress is incorrect He has the
matter under advisement but has not yet
come to any definite conclusion. The Judge
has always been rather slow in making up
his mind. 1t will be recollected that it was
long time before he yielded to the solicita-
lions of his friends and consented to become
a candidate for collector

CURRENT COMMENT.
INCONSISTENCY.
Washington Star.


The exquisite consistency of an immigra-
ton system which shuts the gates Of free
country in the face of the peaceable, indus
trious Chinaman, and lets in Most, Spies,
Mezzeroff Schwab and a Kearney, de-
serves to rank as the eighth wonder Of the
world. The Chinaman is barred out because
he is believed incapable of comprehending
the political institutions Of the country and
assimilating himself with its civilization.
Was ever unconscious irony more cutting2
WHAT DAVIS WAS NOT AND WAS.
Manchester Mirror.
OF the sincerity, the valor the self-denial
the heroic suffering and the willing sacrifice
which made the rebellion in some respects
respectable, and won for the Confederate
soldiers the admiration of the world, jeff
Davis was in no way the exponent. He was
not a soldier; from the first he kept far from
the post Of danger, and when he found the
Union armies closing in upon him, sneaked
away like coward, loaded down with gold
that belonged to others, Ikea thief. He was
traitor, a rebel, a thief; but he was not a
hero, even in a bad cause. He was crafty,
cruel, selfish, jealous, ambitious and mean.
He was neither brave, chiyalric nor honor
able To the respect which is accorded the
memory Of Lee, Jackson, Longstreet and the
other Confederate leaders and all their fol-
lowers, of which the South is justly proud,
he has no right to lay any claim.

1t looks very much like war in the East, in
spite of the protest of the powers and their
threat to blockade Grecian ports. All the
ministers, except the French minister, have
left Athens. Russia has ostensibly joined
with the other powers in counseling peace,
but Russian duplicity has become proyerbial,
and it is by no means improbable that the
Gar has given secret assurances that he will
notallow the little kingdom to be crushed by
her powerful neighbor. 1t is almost incon-
ceiyable that King George would rush into
war where the odds are so overwhelmingly
against him, had he not received assurances
that those odds will be balanced in some way.
The Portland daily press., 1886-05-11

1t would seem to be hardly worth while for
any more American fishing vessels to expose
themselvessss0 the danger Of seizure while
ssahesarr lights in Dominion ports are still un-
settled. The seizure of the David J. Adams
is sufficient for test case. There can be
no doubt that under the treaty of 1918 Amer
lean fishermen are excluded from Dominion
ports except for wood, water and repairs.
The question is whether that treaty has or
has not been superseded by later CONNER
cial agreement. Mr.. Frye contends that it
has. 1t is for the interest of all concerned
that the point be speedily settled, and the
State Department ought to proceed i'm
mediately to press the matter upon the at
.tention of Great Britain. Heretofore it has
seemed, to the fishermen, at least, that Mr.
Bayard has lbeen rather slow in defending
what they believe to be their rights.

An Enormous Frog.

A strange object may be seen at the
house of Roger Burns, Seventh ward.
this city. The men who were working
in the East Hill quarry came upon
soft, shay place in the rock, which is
something new in that quarry. One of
the men seized pick and began to
work out the decomposed rock. for
such 1t seemed to be. when he uncovered
something which caused him to utter
an exclamation that brought his fell
low-workmen by his side in nm instant.
In the opening made by him they saw
what seemed to them TO be the head of
an immense frog. They worked more
carefully after that. and soon had the
reptile entirely uncovered. 1t proved
to be petrified frog. or something that
looked very much like one, of prodig-
ious size. 1t was carefully pried from
its abode, and it was not until is was
placed in full view that the workmen
realized that they had found what must
be the remains of one of the largest
frogs ever in existence. Unlike frogs,
the petrfied reptile was covered with
fine scales, and the head is narrower
and the eyes larger in proportion than
those of the common frog. Its position
when petrifed was that which is COM
mon to frogs, save that its head and
body are flat upon the ground; indeed.
it has general fattened appearance,
as though it was subjected to a pres
sure between fiat surfaces. In color it
is gray, while the scales sparkle in the
sun One of the creature front feet is
upon its head, hiding one of his eyes
from view. 1t was carefully measured
and found to be two feet eight and one
half inches in length. and is surprising
ly heavy, probably weighing over one
hundred pounds. Mr.. Burns, who
found the curiosity, refuses to allow the
frog to be placed on exhibition in a
store window, some one having told
him that the Smithsonian Institution
would probably pay him five hundred
dollars for it, this being a small fortune
to him. He thinks it is safer where it
is, as it might be broken if moved
