POSTMASTER General Wilson is very
much encouraged with the first re-
ports that have been received by him
showing the business OF the depart.
ment. He thinks that the increased
business of the postoffice department
is the barometer OF better times
throughout the country. The sta
tistics whichlhe has received are for the
fourth quarter of 1894, ending Decem-
ber 3lst last. The sale of stamps and
all kinds of stamped articles was over
SIS, AGO. 900, the largest ever known
for any quarter. 1t is in comparison
with the business of the previous year
that the Postmaster General sees the
signs of encouragement. The receipts
were 81 ,l65 ,209 greater than for the
corresponding period of 1893, and the
total expenditures were $62O,343 more
than for the same quarter in 1898
The deficiency for the quarter in 1895
was $3,O29,742 and for the same period
in 1894 was 81 ,4S4 1864.

THE Massachusetts legislature re-
Gently sent committee down south
to inquire into the causes that are
drawing the cotton manufacturing in
dustry from the Eastern to the South
ern States. They appear to have
colored member in that Legislature
and he happened to be selected as one
OF this committee. The trip turned
out to be a very unhappy episode for
the colored brother, as he was most
contemptuously treated and shame
fully snubbed by his white colleagues,
who used every means to let the un-
fortunate black legislator know that
they considered him nothing but a
nigger. Such conduct on the part OF
these Massachusetts Republicans was
properly rebuked by the Democratic
Governor of Virginia, who included
she colored member in the invitation
to the dinner he gave the committee
when it stopped in Richmond, and
paid him especial attention. Nowhere
are the colored people made to suffer
more from race prejudice than in in
tensly Republican Massachusetts,.

A discussion of the cost OF fire in.
surance has for some time past occu-
pied the pages Of the leading reviews,
from which it appears that the United
States rates are the highest in the
world, averaging 100 cents per 500,
as against 8 cents in France, 15 in
Germany and 20 in England. 1t also
appears that, notwithstanding that the
amount OF premiums paid into in
surance companies is double the
amount paid out by them for fire loss,
the companies claim they are not
making money because, they allege,
that the cost of distributing the fire
loss, the commissions to agents and
adjusters is as great as the actual fire
loss itself.
Such a statement awakens in the
mind of the business man the thought
whether or not he is not paying too
high for his insurance; whether the
machinery used in the collection of
premiums, the adjustment OF losses,
and the solicitation of new business,
is not more ornate than useful.
The business of fire insurance is
conducted by brokers and agents, who
are among our best citizens, wide
awake, enterprising, honest men. As
iule their compensation is fixed at
certain percentage on premiums, so
that with higher rates, the broker gets
larger income.
MIR. George U. Crocker, an expert in
insurance matters, holds that the
overthrow of the present costly and
cumbersome system of brokerage, so
as to allow the public to deal directly
with the companies, would lessen the
cost of insurance one half, without
impairing the security contracted for.
The coming era of business pros
perity will be marked by greater re-
gard for the exercise of economy,
than has heretofore been known. The
keenness OF competition along all
lines, imparatively compel the adop-
ton of those measures which are the
most economical; to the extent OF lop-
ping off all branches not absolutely
necessary to the life OF the tree.
The subject is one that interests a
large percentage OF our citizens. If
the same security is obtainable at a
cost of. say one dollar, then the pay
ment of two dollars would seem an
unwise act.

raise scrub and keep him until he is

horse; no one will want him; he will
not do for heavy work or light harness
work. On the other hand, breed to a

AN effort is again being made ia
England to bring about re-trial for
Mrs. Maybrick, the American woman
convicted Of poisoning her husband.
If Mrs. Maybrick is guilty of the charge
there should be no mawkish sentiment
tality over her Imprisonment. If there
are any grounds for supposing her inno-
cent the matter should be sifted TO the
bottom. The brightest American men
and women have been interested in
her case, and in several instances have
addressed memorials in her favor to
Queen Victoria, but 30 far the English
authorities have not regarded the pleas.
1t is to be hoped the affair viii be set

ed or sufficient reasons made public
why she should still serve her term In
