Dr. Henry b. Blackwell of Boston. one
of the ''original sbolitionists,' believes that
the safety of the Republican party lies in
the granting Of universal suffrage TO every
person in the United States irrespective Of
race, color or sex, who can read and write.
knowing DR.. Blackwell well. as we do,
personally, we should expect he would
have Just such a belief as this and no other.
Moreover, he has the honesty of his con-
v,ctions, with faith and singleness of pur-
pose in what he believes.

The first official test of the street railway
mail service over the electric roads was
made in st. Louis Saturday. The mail cal
very closely resembles in construction and
appliances the regular railway mail car, and
is now running regularly over the st. Louis
Suburban liue, which penetrates the most
thickly settled portion of the city. The cal
carries distributors for the proper assert
ing Of mail picked up at various substations
and thus prevents the sending to the main
office Of letters intended for points further
out on the main line. The trip demon
strated that the new service will not only
expedite the delivery of local mails, but
give additional celebrity in the delivery Of
mails collected both in and outside the city
A similar service will probably be intro
,laced on the street railways of other large
.,ities

In his address to the Pennsylvania State
Grange, Tuesday, at Harrisburg, state
master, Hon.Lconard Rhene. said regarding
the free delivery service in rural districts ;
Free mail delivery to the people of the
rural districts is urgently demanded. The
grange has taken decided action upon the
subject, and will only be satisfied when j,
has been fairly tested. The delivery system
is entirely satisfactory to cities and villages,
and can conceive of many cogent reasons
Why ID should be extended to rural districts

iers il more inconvenient for country peo-
pie than those in cities and villages. One
active carrier perhaps could serve fifty oil
more families daily. at cost to the govern
nent far below what il would require fol
each to send messenger to the Office"

II u significant that the first tariff
measure introduced at this session Is to re-
peal the reciprocity treaties. for the bill to
put duty of half cent on all sugars can
mean nothing else. II the desire, as pro-
fessed. is to strike at the sugar refining
monopoly, that end can be better attained
by removing the present half cen. duty On
refined sugars. This will leave our impor-
,ant commercial arrangements undisturbed
and secure to the people all the benefits of

The reports that the people of South Da-
kosa. Northern Nebraska and Western Iowa
were suffering for lack of fuel are fully
confirmed. 10 many places there is prac-
tically no fuel in the hands of dealers. and
in nearly all the supply is far short of the
requirements of cold winter. The trouble
is said to be due to the heavy traffic of tho
railroads. As much coal was carried into
those states as usual, but the tremendous
loads of grain which the railroads were
called upon TO handle forced them to draw
heavily upon this fuel for their own use and
the result was the stocks along such lines
were greatly reduced. How reduced did
NOT appear until the recent blizzard" struck
those states. and then the people began &c
lind out. The blizzard may prove to have
been blessing in disguise.

II looks more and more as il Mr.. Crisp
might fail Of a reelection to the speaker
ship. He no longer has reason to
doubt-if. indeed, he has had any doubt
on the subiect--that he was deliberately
snubbed at the Reform Club banquet in
New York, and was not asked TO speak
on that occasion because the Reform
Club people did not care to have him speak.
As free silver man, and one holding con-
sentative views on the tariff, he is not ac-
ceptable to the Mugwumps and the hard
money Democrats generally, or to the tariff
re formers, whether Eastern or Western.
Then, too, Mr. Cleveland is not at all desir-
Gus of seeing him reelected to the speaker
ship. and consequently he will find his path
INSTRUCTED in variety of ways. 1t must
not be forgotten, however, that Mr..
Crisp has strong following, and that
he can be depended upon to make a stout
fight to retain the third most important Off
cial post in the republic. 1t is too soon to
saw that irreconcilable differences are to
appear in the Democratic ranks and nullify
to an appreciable extent the results of their
recent victories but the Republicans feel
that they have no reason to be dismayed at
the outlook. They promise themselves
that they are going to have great deal of
fan at the expense OF their antagonists this
winter and next, and we should not be sur
prised if their expectations were realized.
