About Postal Matters.

Editor Republican,: The item in last
weeks REPUBLICAN as to the manner of
mailing third and fourth class matter
IN postoffices is worthy of attention.
The Postoffice department not onlv
permits, bM requests, that the name and
address of the sender, either printed
or written, should be placed upon the
upper left-hand corner of the envelope
or wrapper of all matter maized This
secures It's return to the sender of anv
mail not received by the addressee.
Over six millions Of pieces of mail mat
ter were sent to the Dead Letter office
last year. Much of this was third and
fourth class merchandise packages
largely, which had been deposited for
mailing, sealed and closed against in
spection, and prepaid at less than let
ter rate: Had the name of the sender
been placed upon the packages, to-
show who mailed them, the error could
have been promptly corrected, and
much delay, vexation and loss have
been avoided. Many people are gross
ly ignorant or careless, or both, in re-
gard to postal affairs. They will wrap
up package in thin paper, address it
with lead pencil sometimes doing
that Incorrectly, fasten it with two or
three pins, perhaps, or at best tie with
a slender thread, then drop it in the
letter box and expect the postoffice to
do the rest. So carelessly is this done
that we often retie packages (Which is
no part Of our business, by the wav}
before allowing them to leave the Of
fee. The proper method is to wrap
them IN strong paper, tie properly mot
seal them against inspection, which
makes them letter postage), write or
print the name Of the sender and post
office address on the upper left hand
corner, afix sufficient amount in
stamps to fully prepay the postage, and
there can and will be no loss. Every
letter sent should also bear a return
request card, which may be written or
printed, and the letter, if undelivered,
Will be returned to writer without ex-
pense to him. The advantages Of this
are SO obvious that the wonderis everv
one does not take advantage of them.
With your permission [ may refer to
some other matters of interest to pa
irons Of postofices in another article.

erected; steamer is making regular

ill the vacancy caused by the death of

The following circular is in prepar-

intoxicated. All employees known to
frequent drinking places must be warn
ed to discontinue the practice or cult
the company service. Employees will
be discharged if intoxicated either on
or off duty. No person discharged for
intoxication will be re-employed."
Speaking of the appointment of
Judge Winslow to the supreme bench
The Wisconsin says:
'tWe wish to ask the voters of this
state, and especially the honest Luther
ans, who were inveigled into the Demo-
cratic camp, to look at the matter calm
ly and carefully, and decide whether
they approve of this barter in high
judicial offices. The offices have here
tofore been held as sacred, even above
suspicion. That we are to be afflicted
with partisan judiciary is one of the
most injurious and disgraceful blem-
ishes on the good name of our common
wealth."

Meeting of the State Convention Tomorrow
at Richmond.
Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
RICHMOND, August 1.-The delegates to the
state convention Of the Farmers Alliance
which meets here ut noon tomorrow are ar
irving, and by tonight or early tomorrow
morning most of the members will be on hand.
This meeting, President Mann Page and other
leaders say, will be the most important ono
ever held by the order in this state.
Some Of the leaders say that no radical meas
ures will be adopted. The most important
local subject to be passed upon is the effort to
secure more equitable railroad rates for the
farmers. In order to accomplish this the leaders
are insisting that railroad commission shall
be appointed.
President Page. in his address tomorrow, will
recommend a commission somewhat after the
order OF the interstate commerce commission,
that is, that the railroads shall be controlled by
q body which shall bear the same relation to
the state as the interstate commerce commits
sion does to the general government Other
leaders OF the order favor the same policy.
The most important question is what part
the alliance will take in the coming legislative
campaign IN this state. 1t seems to be con-
coded that the majority very decided ma
tority, probably-of that body will be in SYM
pathy with the alliance. The democratic state
committee have not vet marked out the party
policy for the coming contest and will not do
SO until after the adjournment of the alliance
convention. The republicans have de-
termined not to make any nomina-
tions for the legislature this year.
Should the democrats by any possibility follow
the same course it would place upon the alliance
the whole responsibility for all state legislation
that year.
1t is not probable that any resolution will be
offered with regard to President Cleveland.
The Ocala platform will be Endorsed and the
order committed in favor Of free coinage Of
silver.
Senator John ". Daniel, it 10 almost sure, will
be Endorsed for reelection.

BALLOON ACCIDENTS TOO COMMON.
The Latest Aerial Disaster 10 Reported From
Town in italy,

ROME, August 17.-Balloon accidents some Of
them resulting in loss Of life, have recently
been reported from various parts Of Eu-
rope; in fact, such incidents seem to be be.
coming quite common and tend to indicate
that the passion for aerial experiments is in
creasing to an alarming extent The
latest aerial disaster is reported from
Macerata, capital of the italian prov
ince Of the same name, about twenty miles
south of Ancona. Macerata il situated on an
eminence above tho Potenza, a small river
emptying into the Adriatic, and is situated
midway between the Apprentices and that sea.
1t will thus be seen that Macerata was con-
veniently situated for balloon ascensions and its
neighborhood afforded good Sightseeing spots
for the peasantry and others OF the neighbor-
hood, who gathered in large numbers yesterday
to witness the exploits OF u daring balloonist,
who had acquired fame by frequent previous
and successful accents.
All went well at the commencement of the
exhibition. The balloon assembled amid much
applause and enthusiasm and swept grandly to-
ward the blue waters Of the Adriatic. 1t was
not the intention Of the aeronaut to be car
ried out to sea- SO he attempted to descend and
was seen to be vigorously pulling at the ex-
haust or safety valve. The rope Of the latter,
however, did not seem to work properly and
tho balloon and its occupant were slowly but
steadily carried seward. Finally the balloon
was seen lowering over the Adriatic and
a cry OF horror arose from the crowds who had
followed the course Of the balloon when the
aeronaut was suddenly seen to fall headlong
from the car, and after whirling over and over
twice or thrice in the air he fell into the sea
and was drowned before some fishermen who
put out to rescue him had time to reach the
unfortunate man, The balloon, relieved Of
its human ballast, shot upward into the clouds
and was eventually lost to view.
