THE Baltimore Sun makes the perti
nent suggestion that the extravagant ex-
ecution OF the lottery law Is making 1t
odious. One postmaster refused to al.
sowed a newspaper in the mails because it
stated that pools were sold every night
for the races at a certain place" This
postmaster. Denning at Augusta Georgia,
probably 3 Pennsylvania carpet bagger,
was instructed by the department that
s'the publication of the result of horse
races or pool selling in connection with
horse-races" does not come within the
provisions Of the lottery act, and therefore
does not render newspaper unmailable.
1t would seem that it ought not to require
any message from Washington or any
where else to make such proposition
obvious to even the most stupid Of post
masters.

IT is amazing how courageously some
of the proiectionist papers can criticize
the acts of the Republican party after
the election Referring to the disaster
Of the 4th of November, wads's Fibre
and Fabric says
For it is not Democratic victory, but
q victory for the Democrats won by Re-
publican votes. Unwise and unjust legis-
1atien forced the Independent Republican
SO vote with the Democratic party, hence
their victory In the recent election We're
1t not for the reasoning men who risa
above their own party's wickedness.. we
should degenerate into the worst and
most hopeless form OF political slavery
Now, how can the party of political
buccaneers who went into Congress with
e narrow majority of three votes In th,
face Of a popular maj sjorily for Cleveland
who knew Of the methods which had been
used to carry Indians aud New York, and
who used the accidental sdvan tages they
had gained to put In effect such intensely
partisan legislation, be expected to heed
the warning Of the late electionG They
either knew that thay were acting un-
wisely and uniustly then. or they did
not. 1t they did know better and still
persevered in it sgainst knowledge, they
are degenerated, wicked and untrust
worthy II they did not know what they
we-e doing they were not safe ard ssrsi-
-lble men, and they are neither safe nor

probable that they lacked both. Their

NEW YORK, Nov. O.-The carpet manu-.
facturers, it appears, have found it neces
sary to increase their prices materially il
order 10 meet the increased cost Of produc
tion owing TO the advance in the duty on
raw materials. John Sloane, OF the firm
of w. & j. Sloane, said this morning. that
although the price of carpets might have
been raised this fall somewhat ewing to
the fact that for some time manufacturers
have been selling at loss, the new prices
which will go into effect on Dec. l are
largely the increase Of duty. In regard to
the amount OF the increase in the price OF
carpets, Mr. Sloane explained that il
varied; Brussels carpet had been advanced
10 per cent, ingrains from 5 to per cent.
tapestry carpets only about per cent,
