Rev. DR.. Parkhurst, editor of lions
Herald, has just returned from a trip
through Mexico. He says that the
revolutionist, CARA, has no following
of any account, and that his soldiers
comprise but a few stragglers of the
baser sort who have joined him from
mere love of adventure. DIR. Park
hurst was given an audience with Pres
ident Diaz, who spoke in contemptuous
terms of the whole movement, and de-
clared that it had not cost him mo-
ment's uneasiness. Regarding the re-
port that the revolution was fomented
and supported by the Catholic hier-
archy, DIR. Parkhurst declared that the
priests were too shrewd for that, and
would not stake their efforts on cause
that seemed so utterly hopeless as that
of Cara. The fact that such exag-
gerated reports of the force at his dis
posal 1ave reached this section shows
how news grows by travelling, and how
news items from distant sources must
usually be taken with a grain of salt.

marking machines have been placed in
most Of the larger offices. Two new
sizes of postal cards have been made,
one larger and one smaller than the
present. A uniform system of post
office accounts has been devised, which
is great help to both postmasters and
inspectors.
Many of these improvements are
things that people do not think much
about until their attention is specially
called. Butin the aggregate they show
much improved service, and an hon
est and earnest desire to improve it yet
more. Since March 4th, 1889, the
number of post-ofiices has increased
6,42l; of free delivery offices, 100. of
Presidential offices, 465; of length Of
routes of mail service, 1850 miles.
Mr.. Wanamaker now suggests the
following improvements, which 1t is
hoped. may be soon brought about
Postal Savings Banks. for small earn
ings house letter boxes, with future
possibility of collections from house to
house indemnity for lost registered
mail branch dead letter office on the
Pacific coast; the employment of cor
porate instead of personal suretyship
for postmasters. Mr.. Wanamaker also
recommends that the Government
should have charge Of the telegraph
and telephone lines, consolidated with
the post-ofiice. But this is a step in
advance OF most people.

What viii not the inventive genius OF
Edison produce next? He says that a
force coming to attack a fort could be
completely vanquished by simply throw
ing upon them, as they advanced, a
stream of water from a common hose,
provided that the water was sufficiently
charged with electricity. Twenty thou
sand volts would kill every man hit by
the water, less number would so dis
able them as to render possible their
capture as prisoners. Evidently, in
the near future, that nation will stand
the best chance to succeed in war which
has the best scientific talent at its dis
posal. And may we not hope that all
of these new and terrible engines Of de-
struction will make war so awful in its
casualties that no nation will dare to go
to war, lest its entire army be slaugh-
tered? Every year witnesses some new
and improved implements of warfare
whose tendency is TO render a campaign
still more to be dreaded.

A Consolidation Committee appoint
ed for the purpose has framed bill to
be presented to the New York Legisla-
ture which provides for possible union
of the cities of New York and Brook
lyn. and also the entire counties of Kings
and Richmond, and portions of the
counties of Westchester and Queens.
But for the fact that they are in another
state several of the large cities in New
jersey would also be included. Much
enthusiasm has been aroused, and one
man figures that it would reduce the
taxes of Brooklyn to one half the pres
ent figure. The bill presented simply
calls for the submission of the question
to the voters of the cities concerned, so
that the debate will soon be transferred
from Albany to Manhattan and Staten
Islands and the contiguous territory.
1t would give to the New World no
mean rival to London, and would have
many advantages from commercial
point of view, but it would seem to
make still more possible vast municipal
corruption.

FOR GOVERNOR.
A Representative Farmer.

In his speech at Chicago on the l 9Th
on ''The dominant forces in the forma-
tion of Vermont character, His Ex-
cellency. Gov. Page, paid well de-
served tribute to the intelligence, integ-
rity and patriotism that have made the
influence of our State distinguished
above even her sister New England
States, in the development of the newer
sections of the country and in the rec
ord of her sons in the councils of other
States and of the Nation. No portion
of the address is deserving of more cor
dial appreciation than his tribute to
those who, content to toll among her
hills and fertile valleys, have continued
TO keep her almost an ideal common
wealth. To his tribute to the noble
women of Vermont and their influence
upon the formation of the character of
her children. might well be added a
greatful recognition of that, by far the
larger portion of her citizens, whose
patient, ceaseless toll, steadfast courage
and prudent thrift, have steadily devel-
oped her chiefest industry, and, taking
no well won laurel from the record of
those who have helped to make her
name and fame illustrious in Cabinet
councils and in Legislative Halls, re-
member that the foundation of her great
ness is the record of those whose names
and labor are all unknown to fame
the tillers of her soil-the farmers Of
Vermont.
Since the nomination of Ryland
Fletcher, in 1856, no candidate for CUB
ernatorial honors has been presented by
the Republican party who was distinct
lively identified with that industry which
hes builded the homes. supported the
school-houses, and maintained the re-
ligious institutions of Vermont. In
the long line of illustrious men whom
she has delighted to honor with the
highest office in her gift, not one but
whose selection has been urged upon
other grounds than that they represent
ed her agricultural interests. That all
of them were fully qualified for the du-
ties of the high office to which they were
called that they served Loyalty and de-
votedly all the varied interests OF the
State, is unquestioned.
II may be unhesitatingly asserted.
however, that in the ranks of an indus
try which annually contributes more
than twenty millions Of dollars to the
wealth OF the State, and in which more
than two-thirds OF its population aIe di-
rectly concerned, are many whose abil-
tiles are amply sufficient TO the discharge
of the duties of that office, who are COM
petent and qualified to maintain It's dig
nifty and advance its prestige. This is
in no sense a question Of class. Ii has
no tendency even to incite comparison.
1t is simply the statement Of fact,
that among her farmers, as among her
lawyers and manufacturers. are many
to whom the best welfare of the State
may wisely be entrusted as her Chief
Executive.
1t is the well considered belief of the
Messenger that it is the duty, and
should be esteemed the privilege, ofthe
party to select as its stand
in the coming campaign a
citizen whose interests are distinctly
identified with the agricultural interests
Of the State, representative farmer OF

AT the monthly meeting of the Bos-

20, Editor Haskell of the Boston Her.
aid gave an address in which he spoke
on 'The Modern Newspaper, and how
it is made. Among the interesting
statements which he made may be noted
the figures which show the colossal pro-
portions which have been attained by
the modern city daily. There are
twenty newspapers which each use two
hundred and fifty tons of paper every
day they are printed. The ordinary
daily contains enough matter to make
l2mo book of 400 pages, and the
Sunday newspaper enough to make an
octave of 900 pages. The printing fa-
cilities have been so improved that the
metropolitan dailies are now able to
supply their patrons with half a million
copies every twenty-four hours in case
of an emergency. In 1860 the editorial
force on the Herald, including reporters,
numbered but seven, while today there
are a hundred men employed in the
same work with salaries ranging from
s12 week to sl2, 900 a year.

Pensions for the Militia.

Congressman Atkinson has offered
a bill in Congress having for its
object the pensioning OF the Penn
sylyani. militia. The Pennsylvania
militia entered the field animated by
the highest patriotic motive. They
were not offered pay. They were
not offered bounty. They were not
in dread Of draft They were not
even clothed by government, and
many Of them furnished their own
arrns. They went out to fight back
the southern inyadsrs from the
confines OF the state, and if they did
not meet the foe in deadly conflict
it was because the enemy retreated
southwark. Because they were not
engaged on the field Of battle does
not detract in the least from the
patriotic purpose for which they
took up arms, Men cannot enter
a service for a higher and nobler
motive than that which animated the
Pennsylvania Militia when they took
up arms to repsl the rebel invasions
Of 1862 and 1868. But the Miiiti.
went not GU. for military fame CT
