The Island Travel.

Yesterday was fine summer day, just the
kind to make business good on the island
steamboat lines. Between 100 aud 200 peo-
pie enjoyed the sail on the Casco Bay Com
pany's steamer Forest City in the afternoon,
and both sails made by the Merryconeag
were participated in by about as many as
the boat could accommodate. The band
concert at Greenwood Garden and the sail to
the Two Lights by the steamer S. E. Spring.
drew liberal patronage. The crowd went to
Long Island. All the boats running to this
island were crowded. The concert given at
the Granite Spring Hotel by the Spanish
Students, proved great attraction, the biz
dining hall of that handsome house being
filled with an appreciative audience. The
Rock Mineral Spring Cafe, in which was
served a fine clam bake, was full upon the
arrival of the afternoon boat. The day at
the islands was certainly delightful one; it
was not too hot there for comfort. If it be
pleasant this week the island travel will be
the largest for any one week of the season
thus far

THE POSTAL SERVICE.

Postmaster General Wanamaker has some thing interesting to say about the removals in his department. He says that many are upon reports sent in by inspectors and for reasons the publication of which "would de- stroy the future of the man and leave a shadow upon his family" Removals att tributed by the opposition newspapers to "politics" are often necessitated by drunken ness, clearly proved unftness of some kind or neglect of official duty. In some cases post- masters have said they didn't expect to stay in much longer anyway, have turned their attention to their private business, and have ''let their offices drift" Concerning the change in the postof6ce at Norwich in this State. about which the Democrats and assis- tant Democrats have made much stir, MT. Wanamsker says: The management of the office had been notoriously bad for a long time, so far as we could learn. The case is not one that has been made up since the new administration came in. Numerous petitions from the citizens of Norwich are on file ask ing for change in the administration of the office. They are signed by -. well. one pe- tition alone has on it the signature of seven- teen of the bank officers of the town, scores of lawyers, presidents of the railroads and transportation companies. One petition has on 1t the the names of at least one hundred of the veteran soldiers and sailors, requesting g change in the administration of the office. There are numerous letters charging ineff- ciency in the administration of the office; both senators of the State and the members of Congress for the district urged the re- moval. If all these papers were published the absurdity of the attacks on this depart ment would be manifest.
 It has long been evident all over the ooun- try that there was need of changes. The pos. tai service has been in about as bad 8 condi. tion as 1t could be and continue to exist.

VICTORY.

Victory, with 8 large V, has again perched on the blue banner. And again has it been made apparent that rowing is not as well and successfully taught at Harvard as at Yale. Most of the knowing ones expected a closer race, and not a few thought it ''about time for Harvard to win @ race" But it was not. When it will be remains to be seen, but If the wearers of the red don't get discouraged and stick to their stroke they may win some year when they are peculiarly favored by circumstances.
 Last night was hideous one in the cen tral part of this city, but it would have been about as hideous, though more quietly SO, if Yale had not won. Therefore let those who could not sleep on account of the vic- tory repine not. Blue is the color, and the bluer they feel this morning the more har- monious they will be.

 Superintendent Porter of the census bureau will make an attempt to discover the amount of recorded mortgage indebtedness, how far such indebtedness has been reduced by par- tial payments and what proportion rests on farms and what on town lots and other real estate. There are many difficulties in getting at the statistics, but it is believed that they can be collected with sufficient accuracy for all practical purposes. A branch of the in- quiry will show who are the holders of the mortgages. The facts will be very interesting and important.
 Corporal Tanner tells the Washington cor respondent of the Boston Journal that he is running his office not on his own ideas but in the manner prescribed by the law. If there is anything wrong in the office, or if he is being imposed on, he is at least as anxious to know it as anybody else can be. He found there about 100000 claims for increase of pension which had not been examined, and he thought of organizing separate division
 to examine them. He has dropped that idea, but he means to have these claims
 looked into, and has go notified his responsi.
