THE COMMISSIONERS COMING.

joIce that at least an opportunity
viii be afforded them to do justly by

That deputy registrars have been
discriminating against members
Of the Peoples Party IS too
notorious to be disputed. There is
yet time for these officers to purge
their record and make some show Of
fairness. 1t is n dangerous thing to
conspire against the free exercise Of

who does this exposes himself to the
operations of the criminal law. II

after the record OF its managers is

bership in an unorthodOx Church,
then the religious liberties guar2n-
tecd by the Constitution of the
United States are shams. and the
language of the supreme Ia W is de-
lusiveand deceptive. If the august
tribunal before which this cause is to
he contested was above all political
aud popular pressure, rs OF right it
ought 10 be, We would not have the
slightest DOUBT as TO the result. But
the force Of public prejudice is great
and human nature is much the
same in all grades and positions Of
earthly life. We can therefore only
hope and tIust that justice will be
done, and that the final earthly
arbiters Of this cause will be guided
only by the veritable facts and the
provisions Of the Constitution.

are practically without coast de-

located as to give full effect to the

This general subject has received
consideration in Congress for
years, and tire appropriation

a purpose to provide suitable works

pointed. An appropriation made
for that purpose would not advance
the completion Of works beyond our

tive guns. The security Of our

POSTAL MATTERS.

The report Of the Postmaster
General not only exhibits the oper-
alton Of the department for the
fiscal year, but contains many valu-
able suggestions for improvement
and extension Of service which are
commended 10 your attention. No
other branch Of the government has
30 close contact with the daily
life OF the people. Almost every
one uses the service it offers, and
every hour gained in the transmits
sion Of the great commercial
mails is an actual and possible
value that only tho-e en-
gagged in trade cIn understand.
The saving Of one day in the trans-
mission of the mails between san
Francisco and New York, which
has recently been accomplished, is
an incident worthy Of mention.
The plans suggested Of suspension
Of the post offices in separate dis
tricts involve instruction and
suggestion, and a rating Of efficiency
of the postmasters, would, | have no
doubt, greatly improve the service.
A pressing necessity exists for the
erection Of building for the joint
use OF the department OF the city
post-oflice. The department was
partially relieved by renting outside
quarters for part Of its force; but 1t Is
again overcrOwded. The building
used by the city office was never iit
for the purpose, aud is now made
quate and unwholesome.T The unsatis-
factory condition Of the law relating
TO transmission through the mail Of
lottery advertisements and remittan-
ces is clearly stated by the POstmas-
ter General, and his suggestion as to
its amendment should have your IA
yorable consideration.
