ONE-CENT POSTAGE.

The report of the Postmaster-Ge makes
it clear that the time will soon arrive when we
can have one-cent postage, if it is not already
here. The reduction from three to two cents
took effect October l, 1883, and so covered
only three-fourths Of the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1884 Leaving that year out of con
Sideration, the following little table shows the
deficiency in the revenues Of the Department
for the first full year after the reduction, and
the succeeding years until the end Of the last
fiscal year, with the estimated deficiency for
the present and next fiscal Years:

an increase of Ss2 ,487 over that OF 1884 the
Republicans gain 87O,10S; the Democrats

the Labor vote shows falling-oif OF some

it takes more than month to determine which

The Mugwump newspapers have INDUCED in q
series Of dishonest attacks upon the Republican
Police Commissioners alleging that they were
responsible for retaining John J. O'Brien in his
position at the head Of the Bureau OF Elections
These papers knew better Mr.. O'Bren keeps his
post through his appeal to the courts, and the
legal questions involved must yet be passed on by
the Court Of Appeals. Police Commissioners
French and McCave have voted repeatedly in
favor OF the appointment Of Richard f. Mott TO
Mr. OBriens position. Mr. Mott passed an ex-
ccllent examination, and is in every way fitted
for this place The responsibility for retaining
Mr. O'Brien where he now is really rests with the
Democratic Commissioners. II they would unite

The conference of prison wardens with
Superintendent Lathrop yesterday disclosed
melancholy condition of things resulting
from the enforced idleness of $500 convicts
in our three State prisons. Idleness there is
not only demorazing, but highly detrimental
to health, The State owes it to these unfort-
unates to keep their bodies and minds occu-
pied. This is a subject that deserves to be
treated on the broadcast and most catholic
grounds, without reference to partisan or po-
litical considerations

II is limited from Washington that President
Cleveland will veto the Direct Tax bill in case

House will do with it is matter of doubt, but
it would seem as If they were in honor bound

which they brought business to standstill fol

adequate reasons can be found for veto
The bill is based on simple justice; unless, in
