POSTAL FACILITIES.

Postmaster General WANAMAKER
announces his intention to recommend
reduction of letter postage from two
cents to cent, in the belief that the in
crease in postal business will soon bring
the revenues up to all amount sufficient
to put the postal service on self-sus-
tanning basis. He is possibly correct
+ about it, although the chances are that
it will be long time before his hopes
are realized. Still, We are of opinion
that the proposed reduction is not de-
manded by the public. Letter postage
is low enough now. and if there is a
likelihood of any surplus revenues they
can be utilized in extending postal IA
cilities. An extension of the carrier
system is more of necessity than a re-
duction in postage. Only the larger
cities are provided with mail carriers.
Why not extend the system to all
the towns and villages, and even
have mounted carriers for country
service? In the aggregate the time
lost by the farmers and persons living
remote from the pOStoffices amounts to
more than the expenses of the whole
postal service. Time is money to the
jewellers in the rural districts as much
as it is to those who live in the large
cities, and if the poStoffice department.
is really DESTROYS to perform a public
service, it can do it better by extending
the postal facilities than 10y reducing
the rate of postage

BAY STATE PROHIBITION

While the Oklahoma colonists are in
dustriOusly at work starting new grave
yards to-day, the people up in Massa-
chusetts will be engaged in an exciting
struggle over the prohibition amend
ment. The contest has been a sharp
and bitter one. The preachers, the pol
iticians and the women have all taken a
hand i'll the fight, and they have made
it interesting. But the final battle will
be fought to-day at the polls, with the
prospect favorable to the vets.
A novel feature of the Massachusetts
contest has been the opposition of a
large number of the clergy to the
amendment. Most of the leading law
yers have been on the same side. upon
the ground that the liquor traffic is a
matter for statutory legislation. and ell
tirely out of place in the organic law
The cider question has been another
prominent issue of the campaign. The
Massachusetts amendment contains no
exception of cider, as was the case in
New hampshire. and the old Bay state
farmers have great partiality for apple
juice. even if they are temperance
folks. Senator HoAR has led the Pro-
hibition forces, and most of the Republi-
can politicians are favorable to the
amendment.

A soURED STATESMAN.

Mr.. BLAINE is rapidly losing the mag
netic quality for which he was once dis
tinguiShed. Advancing age and re-
peated diSappointmentS are dong their
work in souring nature that was once
proverbial for its affability. He used
to be the most approaehable man i'll
public life, and it was ''hail fellow well
met with everybody he came in con-
tact with. He made it point to
assume an air of negligence i'll dress
and cOrdiality of manner, to impress
people with the idea that he was a
commoner. But it is all changed now.
He is both fiXy and fussy in his dress,
and assumes an unapproachable dignity.
He shuts himself up i'll his private office
at the state department. and swings out
a sign announcing that none but con-
gressmen and diplomats who come on
official business shall be admitted. In
stead of opening the door himself when
he hears rap. and with CHEEKY voice
and cordial grasp of the hand wei
coming his visitor, as he did in the
former days of his official career, he
has liveried lackey to bring in the
card: and when the visitor enters he is
received with all the cold stateliness
that a British nobleman would es-
tabliSh.
The change of manner and tempera-
meut indicates that Mr.. BLAINE has
given up all hope of ever reaching the
presidency. 1t signifies that he real
ICES he is at the summit of political
distinction. That he is soured by the
thought is evident, nor does he care to
conceal how deeply disappointed he is.
CLAY and WEBSTER missed the presi-
dency just as Mr.. BLAINE has done,
but i'll their cases they had the consola-
ton of knowing that they had won a
name and fame that would live in the
history of their country long after many
of the presidents had been forgotten.
Unfortunately for Mr.. BLAINE. he has
no balm of this kind to soothe his
wounded ambition. When he dies his
record will die with him.

In OKLAHOMA.

This will be day of stirring events
i'll Oklahoma. This country is rich in
pioneer experiences, but the early rays
of this mornings sun fall upon a scene
unparalleled i'll the history of the land
settlements in this country. Nearly a
quarter of Il million of adventurous men
rushed across the border of the Okla
homa country in the mad race for en-
pire, and at this distance from the
scene the mind is bewildered in Specu-
lation as TO what is now transporting in
that locality. That there will be blood
shed goes without saying: that in
many, very many instances, might will
prevail over right. is equally certain !;
that the United States authorities will
be unable to control this vast mob in its
struggle for possession of the territory,
is strong probability; and then one is
left to wonder as to what will be the
final outcome. Perhaps not oue-twen-
tieth of those who crossed the border
What is to be done with these unlucky
fellows? They have gone there to stay,
and it will be difficult to reconcile them
to disappointment, Most of them have
invested all of their little capital i'll
this Oklahoma expedition, and are in
bad shape for getting away, even if they
wanted to leave. And then, too, there
are great many reckless spirits in the
crowd; so, taking it altogether, the
situation in Oklahoma to-day is about
as perilous as it is exciting. For few
months, at least. it is good country for
peaceable, lawabiding citizens to keep
away from.

NOTED MEMS DOUBLES,
People Who Are the Counterparts
of Men Famous i'm Public Life,

New York Letter to Baltimore American. g.
A clean-shaved gentleman, with a
face that would be generally described
as classic i'll its mould, stood in the
Hoffman house the other day. and be-
gan to watch the work of the man who
makes silhouettes while you wait.
Properly attired, he might have been
mistaken for a priest, an actor, Or a
great statesman.
Booth doesn't look bad" said one
byStander to another, as the classic face
got closer to the silhouette man.
NO" said the other, ''he looks well.
and even ruddier thau one would eX-
pect."
The conversation was then turned,
and the classic-faced gentleman after
wards went his way. The owner of the
face was Senator John w. Daniel, who
occupies Democratic seat in the upper
house of congress from the state of
Virginia. He was looking at the
sights, while Edwin Booth was
probably in his apartments at
the Players club. The resemblance be-
tween the faces of the Virginia orator
and the American actor is very striking,
and the mistake made by the byStander
was a natural one. Senator Daniel,
however, would not be mistaken for the
actor except sitting or standing still. In
this case it was only the face of the
senator that could be seen by those who
stood some distance away. Had they
seen the senator in motion the mistake
would not have been made.
Even more striking in facial reSem-
blance than Booth and Daniel is the
likeness of Col. Calvin S. Brice to the
pictures of Gen. Boulanger. Those
who have had the honor Of meeting
both OF these distinguished gentlemen
say that the chairman of the late Demo
cratic national executive committee
could easily be taken for the great
French revisionist and soldier. In
deed, it is asserted that Col. Brice keeps
in his handsome Fifth avenue mansion
picture of Gen. Boulanger, which
ever and anon he looks at and admires.
Brlce. however, is smaller in stature
than the Frenchman, but he has Bou-
langer's eyes, and wears Boulanger
whiskers all the time.
Chauncey Nj. Depew, when on the
street. is mistaken half the time for
Adam Forepaugh and A. r. Whitney.
He is better-Iooking than either of
these, especially Mr.. Whitney, who has
lean and hungry look, although wear
ing the style of whiSkerS most becoming
stout man. Mr.. Whitney keeps De-
pew'S picture in his Broadway office.
so that his business acquaintance may
see the difference and not make any
embarrassing mistakes on the street.
James G.. Blaine's double may lie seen
any evening in the Fifth avenue hotel.
He is Broad street broker, and
whenever Mr.. Blaine is in town his
double drops around to look at the
StateSman's face.
Jay Gould'S double is afraid of the
big SpeculatOr, and doesn't look him up,
for fear some one who has grievance
against Gould will make it unpleasant
for him by mistake. He is said, how
ever, to be very like the millionaire in
face and form,

DODGE DoEs.T DODGE.

For some reason many of the Dakota
leaders and statesmen talk with greater
freedom out of the territory than at
home. Attorney DODGE, of Fargo, who
is prominent in affairs and is supposed
to have aspirations, on visit to st. Paul
the past week chatted to reporter
about men and things in the territory in
a way that was suggestive of the TYNER-
PIERCE correspondence. Mr.. DODGE.
very NATURALLY believes that Gov. MEL
LETTE is using the patronage at his dis
pOSal to promote his success as all as
plrant for governor of South Dakota.
That. was a natural Inference from his
appointments. DODGE evidently isn't
for HANsBROUGH for congress, as he
speaks of him as rabid editor in dis
paraging way. He stirred up hornets
nest at Sioux Falls in charging that the
attorneys there were simply playing
KEITH, and knitting him secretly. On
the whole, DODGE is good talker.

STATE PRESS.

The legislature has done sensible thing in
passing the senate bill introduced by Mr.
Scheffer, TO make drunkenness a crime 1t
has too long been the fashion to baby and
codde drunkards. The law has dealt strict
~ with the seller of strong drink, and Justly
so. There is little danger of going too far in
the regulation of the liquor traffic, tor it is
confessedly one or the greatest evils of the
time.-Winona Herald.
While the new law will prevent butchers
from shipping dressed beef to the cities. the
general workings of the law will be a benefit
to the people of Minnesota.-W aterville Ad-
vance.
Senator Scheffer's bill making it misde-
meanor to get drunk has passed both houses
of our legislature This is probably owing
TO the big drunk of our law makers at the
Merchants hotel last Thursday night-Mor-
ris Tribune.
For time, possibly. the sudden cutting off
of the importation of Texan dressed beef
may cause demand for native stock that
win send prices up with a bound, but the
conditions of supply and demand will soon
readjust themselves, so that neither producer
nor consumer will suffer injustice.-Fari-
bault Republican.
The Big Flour representing the great
beef combine, have thought to punish St
Paul ana Minneapolis for the passage OF the
measure by withdrawing from their markets
and refusing shipments of beef to those
cities. All right. Southern Minnesota can
stand it, We have cattle ON a thousand hills
to supply the Twin Cities. Our prairies are
covered with immense herds.-Blue Earth

When Minister Thomas re-entered
Portland society with a beautiful Swe>

and the story-tellers, as well as the Cos
sips of a less imaginative turn, found
an abundance of material for their em-

fast one morning, before Mrs. Thomas
had acquired much English, an awk-
ward servant spilled some coffee Oh the
minister's coat.
That's - pretty piece of work :"
exclaimed the minister.
"What did you say then, my dear?"
Mrs. Thomas innocently asked in Swedr
ish.
II said this is very fine cup of cof-
fee," Dlandly repeated her husband in
the same language.
That very evening Dir. and Mrs.
Thomas attended brilliant party.
With laudable wish to compliment
the refreshments and at the same time
honor the English language by express
ing her sentiments in it, the beautiful
Swede exclaimed sweetly, after a sip of
fragrant Mocha, That's - pretty
piece of work.
Who do you suppose was so wicked as
to invent that story?
