Some of the Democrats are anxious to know
whether Mr.. Blaine will take the stump in
Maine this year. "" Cannot speak by author
ity but have no doubt that Mr.. Blaine will be
heard from, whoever is nominated for Pre>-
dent by the Republican party. Our deeply
concerned Democratic contemporaries might
ask themselves the question: Has Mr.. Blaine
ever failed to do his full duty as a Republican,:
An exchange forcibly observes: ''The
serious question before the first Republican
President was, how to fill treasury which the
Democrats had emptied. After twenty-five
years, the first question before the first Demo
cratic President is-how to empty treasury
which the Republicans have filed Any one

POSTAL. An item originating with the Lewiston
journal, and widely circulated, states that by
new regulation OF the post Office department,
Letters mailed on trains are not postmalkcd on
the train they used to be, but are put Oh at the
next station and delayed until the next mail
This If true would cause great inconvenience to
our business men, especially those on lower Main
street and vicinity, who gain about hall an hour by
mailing their letters the train, to say nothing
saving trip to the post office. But it Is not true.
The Postal Laws and Regulations designate all
railway postal ears and mail apartments in ears
and steamboats, az "Ralway post Offices" for the
distribution of mail matter in transit, and the
statutes require that postal clerks shall receive
and forward mail matter presented to them on the
cars if properly prepared by stamps. There does
not appear to be the slightest foundation for the
report that these regulations were to be changed
for the purpose OF incon veniencng the public.
