POS1OFFICE REFOKM.

There is no reference III the Presidents
N essage to the reduction of letter postage
to one cent. as demanded by the platform
on which Mr.. HARRISON was nominated
and elected. The Pos tmaster-General, in
his report, opposes the reduction TAT this
time" on account of the probable delay it
would effect in the departments reaching
self sustaining basis-which is probably
the poorest reason that could be given.
Not only do the people not care whether
the incomes equal the outlay in administer
ing the postal business, but they look with
disfavor upon the attempt to make them do
so, since all such attempts involve parsi-
mony and picayunishness that limit the
scope of the service and belittle the coun-
try.
We say the people do not care whether
| the postoffice department pays its way or
not. BY this we do not mean they are in
different to the subject of economy, but
Indifferent, in view OF supplying the public
needs, whether the cost is betrayed from
the postal revenues or the general funds.
In other words they want the BEST quick
est, most correct and efficient collection,
1 d
whatever cost.
The state, the army, the navy and indeed
all the other departments, save only
the postofice, are run with sub
stantial liberality, if not prodigality.
From them nothing is expected in the way
OF financial return. acquisitions on these
executive branches for clerk hire. furna-
ture and all facilities are honored promptly
and in good spirit, whereas it is notorious
that postmasters must wait for months
even for replies to their communications,
and months longer for the desired supplies
or help.
The public are tired of the manner in
which the postoffice business of the coun-
try has been handicapped by what may be
called traditional ambition on the part OF
postmasters- general to reduce the expenses
as near as possible to the receipts. A radi-
cal and immediate change is needed. Tho
west in particular requires more attention
and full recognition of the fact that this
part of the country is growing and filling
up with population.

THE REPUBLICAN party in the United
States Senate appears to be having a
rather difficult time in arranging the COM
mittees and adjusting itself to the fact that
the people are rapidly filling the seats with
Democrats. 1t is task to place the new
members where their power to interfere
with the regular course of Republican pol
icies will be minimized. Evidently PALMER
Hill. Villas, BRIcE and even PETER are
In the way, and as time goes on it will be
found harder still to keep Democratic
squirrel on the ground.

OF COURSE Senator STEWART didn't have
Utah in his mind when he framed the bill
introduced on Thursday to punish officers
for selecting jurors with reference to their
political or religious affiliations. Since 1874
every juror in this territory has been care
fully selected with special reference to his
religious or political affiliations, and under
law which contemplated that Jurors
should be chosen with reference to their
religious affiliations.

necessity is made to increase the cost of

The MESSAGE says the gain in freight and
saving In the use of mail vessels would pay
the cost of building the Nicaragua canal
within a short series Of years" This
ought to be very satisfactory to investors,
being SO exact and definite-almost as much

series of short years" The length of a
string and the dimensions of a piece of
chalk have heretofore been the ideals of

A MORNING contemporary should be in
formed that the Russian railroads are con

expressly so that the rolling stock of other
countries, which have a narrower standard,
cannot be made use of for transportation.

important, but the fact mentioned is one OF

\ dead lion is not TO be compared to

it is good for the country that he is
| dead. Lions are not considered TO be
good neighbors. When running wild
they are dangerous to the community.
and whoever puts one out of the way
does the community where he ranges
good service. But, letting all this
stand against the lion, we cannot but
despise the spirit that fawnS upon and
lauds him while he is alive and
dangerous, but abuses his body and in
suits his memory when he is dead. as
the Topeka Capital, the representative
of Kansas Republicanism, now abuses
and insults the late ingalls,. OF him
the Capital says: That he is not
leader to-day is more due to the su-
preme egoGsm and coldblooded sell
iishness of the man than to his lack of
ability. forgetting the grand self-sacri-
fcing fight of his party that went down
to defeat with him. This supreme wor-
SHIPPER of himself turned his back upon
the political friends OF q quarter of
century, as well as upon those who
laid aside their convictions against him
and gave him loyal support. No man
in American history was ever so
greatly honored for the single talent of
sarcastic oratory. He had great op-
portunities, and has most signally
failed as leader, politician and friend.
To-day in Kansas the ex-senator is
neither missed nor regretted"
But the live ass fourishes in honors,
and luxuriates hnee-deep in succulent
pasturage. While the Republican or

They crowded around him and hung
upon his words as if these We're the in
