Cleveland in 1884, and, it is said, will

The prime point is 10 do something at once

Kind Of revision will take place. They are
preparing to'fll large American orders and the
price Of wool has gone up, But our manufac.
turors here are only buying from hand to

taken. II, then, the friends OF revision under

will give us a period Of rest from agitation
and tend to restore confidence, leaving Of
course, the gradual adjustment Of the tariff
and the enlargement Of the free list for future
consideration.

WASHINGTON, JAN. "a, 1888.
THE PARCELS posT SERVICE.

One Of the best contributions made
TO the increased efficiency of the
postal service by the outgoing Post
master General, in which ne was dill
gently and ably seconded by Mr.. Bell,
Superintendent Of Foreign Mails, was
the establishment of a parcel post
convention some months since be-
tween the United States and Mexico,
and another quite recently between
this country and Canada.
BY these conventions the three
countries become practically one postal
territory, and all matter that is trans
missible by mail can now be dis
patched from any point in the United
States to any point in Canada or Mex
leo at the same rates as charged to any
point in the United States.
So with matter from Canada or
Mexico at the local prepaid rates fixed
by their respective departments, each
country keeping its own accounts and
ito own postal receipts, by which
means all complications or contro-
NtiblCb Will OllO ullOlhCJ ESQ made
impossible.
1t is further TO be borne in mind
that while in this country the limit
of weight of third and fourth-class
matter is four pounds, with an excep-
ton as to single volumes of books, the
limit in the universal Postal Union
is four pounds six ounces, so that
while the local limitation obtains in
the United States, the larger weight
may be transmitted under the recent
conventions to points outside of the
United States.
1t will require no great length of
time to demonstrate the practical
benefit of these arrangements, not
merely to merchants in the forward
ing of goods or samples, but to all
classes of our people, whose relations
with Canada and Mexico are rapidly
becoming more intimate and to whom
the same facilities of communication
beyond our border lines are now open
as they have SO long enjoyed and ap-
preciated through the domestic mail
service.

COMMANDER REA of the Grand
Army is said to feel encouraged by
his late interview with the President
concerning the subject of pension
legislation. He may rest assured that
the President has no grudge against
the old soldiers. If Congress passes a
just and reasonable bill it will be
pretty certain to receive his approval.
He hasn't told us so, but we charge
nothing for the opinion.

THE APPOINTMENT OF Mr.. Ross, as
Postmaster for Washington, is gem
orally conceded to be good one. The
appointee is respected citizen and
Of excellent business abilities. OF
course, there are personal disappoint-
ments, as there would have been had
any different selection been made, but
that Mr.. Ross will make popular
and efficient official, there is no doubt.
About the same remark may be made
in regard to Mr.. Hoge's appointment

icism and puts the right man in the

THE RESOLUTION of the majority of
the House Elections Committee, de-
claring Mr.. Carlisle entitled to his
seat in Congress, was adopted yester-
day, seven Republicans assisting the
Democrats to the requisite quorum.
The question is therefore settled to
all practical intents and purposes, yet
leaving a lingering doubt in many
minds as TO whether Mr.. Carlisle
really received majority Of the votes
in his district. 1t was proper and
wise, perhaps, for the Speaker to hold
himself wholly aloof from the com
mittee during its consideration of the
case, that he might not be charged
with attempting any undue influence
or dictation of its action, but in view
of the significant fact that petition
or memorial, signed by 5000 voting
citizens Of the Sixth Kentucky dis
irict, is in the hands Of the COM
mittee, asking for rehearing Of the
case, we submit that it would not
only be magnanimous, but that it is
ina certain sense obligatory, on Mr..
Carlisle's part, to demand that the
investigation thus asked for be now
proceeded with. If Mr.. Carlisle was
fairly elected no damage to him could
result from such an examination into
the facts and circumstances. With
out such an investigation and report
clearly showing his legal election
the existing doubt may grow
into proportions which will cast
a shadow over the purity Of the
Speakers chair. The integrity Of the
Office of Speaker of the House Of
Representatives-the most important
position in the entire system of our
republican form of Government
mnst be maintained free of even the
slightest taint of doubt as to the legal
status of its occupant. The personal
or political consequences to Mr.. Car.
lisle OF any other person are not to be
considered if in conflict with clear
and valid title TO the Speakership oI
the popular branch of the American
Congress.
