THE condition of the mail service is
being investigated by congress. One of
the difficulties of the bad service is the
extra amount of work imposed upon
officers. People are much more willing
to pay &c. postage on each letter trans
mitted through the mails and receive
good service than pay &c. postage and
have ample cause for dissatisfaction
The attempt to reduce sealed letter post
age to lie. was another crank movement
toward economy which was not at all de-
manded and which would stiIl further
cripple the efficiency of the service. Give
us the Sc. postage again and good service
rather than reduction TO lie. snd insult.

the bill introduced in congress to create
a commission to improve the photography

chance for some man to make his mark

afoat to get away with the surplus is
tribute to the ingenuity Of the American

GENERAL BRAGG, it is said, has been
greatly depressed since the sight left one
of his eyes. But since his appointment
as minister to Mexico his spirits have
revived. The prospects of rest and the
satisfaction resulting from knowing the
administration appreciates him, have no
doubt been the cause of his taking a more
cheerful view of life.

THE Blair educational bill will likely
be killed in the senate and it deserves
the fate. The more the national govern

ally owe the means of education to the
rising generation.

GENERAL SHERMAN calls Wade Hamp-

the latter's having charged him with
burning Columbia, S. C. The old gen.

too much in the language of vituperation.
But like all fiery natures he is always
kind hearted and, when he has time for
reflection. is lust.

A Clean Campaign.

The presidential campaign ought to be
one Of principles and policies and not of
personal abuse and SANDER, but the circula-
ton of an outrageous pamphlet attacking
Mr.. Cleveland's domestic life suggests the
possibility that it will not be. Many re-
publican newspapers have made haste to
disown, on the part of their party, any con-
nection with the pamphlet, saying that its
circulation on the eve of the convention
shows that it was the work of the Presi-
dents enemies in his own party. This may
be true, but it is not improbable that it
was the work of few republicans who
hoped to prevent the democrats from nomi-
mating their strongest candidate. At all
events a good many republican journals
printed as much of the stuff as they dared.
The Munchausen-like character of it was so
evident, however, that Mr.. Cleveland re-
ceved more benefit than injury from it.
The object of campaign of filth is, of
course. to injure the chances of election of
candidate against whom the ISLANDERS are
directed, but does it have that effects How
many votes did Mr.. Cleveland lose in 1884
on account of the attacks on his private life!
How many did Mr. Blaine loses Does any
body suppose that these things entered to
any appreciable extent into the resultl Ger
tainly not What then is the use of print
ing theml
The people have right to expect better
things this year. With the great issues of
the day confronting them, they want n
campaign of ideas and argument. They
would like for the speakers to discuss the
issue of tariff Recommendations they shall
have cheap whisky and tobacco, or cheap
food and clothing. They would like to hear
discussed the claims of each party for their
votes They are interested in the question
whether honest and economical government
| shall be Endorsed, or whether government

tuIy refer Jupiter Tonans to the original author
OF the following story:
Last winter friend of mine was student at
college of science, polytechnic In a city up
IN New York state. One night, after party OF
his chums had supped with him, student fashion,
In his rooms, he found it hard to WOO sleep. 1t
was not the Welsh rare bit, nor the reliable
brand of bottled beer in his midst which made
faces at Morpheus; no. my friend, whom we will
call Brown, has the digestion Of an ostrich and
the conscience of a cannibal. He would have
dropped into a pleasant slumber doubtless,
without an effort, if it had not been for
Thomas cat, which sat with the patience of a
stone image beneath the window lifting up his
voice with mournfulness exceeding great but
not at all musical.
he could find at Thomas orchestra of one. He
even stole out into the passage and purloined
Smiths shoes aud tried to polish them upon
the cat. But the animal was having far too
much fun with his voice to care for boots, boot
jacks, or even broken shaving mugs. Thomas
sat on the fence or on the ground indifferently,
and mow-yowled with ever increasing sorority.
MIR. Brown tells me that you could see, as
Inomas agony grew, pieces of feline soul
floating in the moonlight. Be that as it may,
Mr., Brown sat down at last in his robe de nuit
white form of Thomas tremble with emotion as
the serenade progressed.
There was nothing left in the room to launch
at the warbler
