TILE GOTERNOR OF ILLINOIS.

It would have been remarkable, indeed, II
among the million visitors and guests who came
to this city last week TO witness and partici
pate in the ceremonies attending the dedication
of the Grant monument there Lad not been some
who did not receive the attention they We're
properly entitled TO or which they thought they
deserved. 1t was probably the largest assembly
Of notables in one city that ever took place on
the continent. There were the highest officers
of the Federal Government and Of many Of the
State governments, the representatives of for
eign nations. officers of the Army and Navy
and the National Guards of several States, be-
sides a vast concourse Of sovereign citizens, all
equal before the law. OF course they were not
equally great nor equally notable, and there had
to be some order Of precedence. Under a Gov
eminent founded upon the principle of the equal
ity of all citizens and which does not officially
recognize differences in rank or distinction Of
classes, it is no easy task to arrange body Of
men in an order of procession in which some
must necessarily have precedence of others,
without giving offence to a portion. But the
vast majority Of our seventy millions Of common
people are 50 courteous and well bred that the
small mistakes which inevitably occur in the
assignment Of positions in a procession or line
of march are usually overlooked by those who
might perhaps properly feel aggrieved at having
their claims for precedence dsregarded. 1t is
only when some really great and distinguished
person is vsibly and Enthusiastically displaced
from his proper order of precedence that public
complaint is made. Even then the aggreved
parsonage, leaving to others any manifestation
OF resentment at the indignity or slight, usually
maintains himself a dgnifed and becoming ST.
lence
That Governor Tanner of Illinois Is q courte-
Gus, well-bred gentleman. accustomed to the re-
fnements Of social life and the usages OF polite
society, is sufficiently attesed by his having
been elected Governor Of the great State of H.
lnos and by the fact Of his residence in the
pOpufous city OF Chicago, renowned throughout
the West for the warmth and genialty Of its
hospitality and for the unasslming manners,
the gentle breeding and the constant courtesy OF
Its citizens. 1t is greatly to be regretted that
so distinguished person, the official represent
alive Of so great State MS Illinois and SO re-
nowned social and political centre as Chicago.

ganizing the National Guard Of New-York, and
enhances the regret that nothing was done IN
that direction at the last session Of the Legis-
lature. We hope that the proposal for enrolling
the troops In division, with Major-General in
permanent command, will be so strongly sup
ported from this time forward as to secure its
adoption in the near future. 1t is n serious mis-
take to suppose that these questions OF mill
tary discipline are of slight Importance. and that
it is foolish to bring them under discussion
The fact is that an elaborate military organiza-
ton in time Of peace has no large margin of
popular veneration to trlfe with. If it Is not
visbly an instrument Of high potential utility
the embodiment Of discipline and decorum, ami
n ated by spirit of loyal zeal and directed with
absolute precision. it ceases to be admirable and
comes perilously near to being ridiculous.

partment Of life to-day the great nations or the
world are coming to be more dependent on each
other The nterlacngs OF worldwide interests
are becoming more numerous and complex every
year. Though the poets dream Of a universal
kingdom OF man may never be literally realized,
the tendency of modern life Is to bring all men
ever closer together, and the enormous Increase
Of postal communication between all the civil
lied nations Of the world in recent years Is at
once proof and a moving cause of this ten
dency
1t cannot be doubted that the distinguished
delegates from the various countries OF the
world who are to gather in Washington will do
much by their exchange Of views to promote the
efficiency of the international postal service. 1t
is possible that as result Of this conference the
scope Of the International Postal Union may be
increased and its working methods improved.
This Union, which has already done so much TO
facilitate international communication. has more
than justified its creation, and the result of every
International conference will be to make 1t more
generally and completely representative in its
character and scope. OF course, problems ana
difficulties in the way Of such union must
arise; but they may be overcome by the eXer-
else Of mutual tact and goodwill. Nearly all
the obstacles that are TO be met grow out OF
local interests. which, however important, are
trivial in comparison with the advantages to be
derived from q freer and more general communi-
cation between the nations. On the score OF
commerce alone n cheap and efficient interna-
tonal postal service is all important. For in
spite Of the great expansion Of telegraphy
large part Of the business of the world will con-
time for many years TO come to be done by
correspondence. And modern commerce Is no
longer national, but international. 1t reaches
out to the most remote corners Of the earth. For
this reason the promotion of better nterna
tonal postal service is not simply bit Of senti-
ment, as 1t is sometimes said to be- but a move
ment in which business men are vitality inter-
ested
Among the propositions that will come up for
discussion in the conference will be the pro-
priety Of establishing an international postage
stamp. Such n stamp would not supplant the
present stamps but would be available for for
wardng to foreign countries in the Postal Union
Under existing regulations this cannot be done,
and the lack Of such facility is oftenimes a
serious Inconvenience. The proposition had
come up at previous conference, but the Eng
lsh delegates objected to it on the ground that
the proposed value Of the stamp would give an
ference will overcome this difficulty or not it is
certain that is deliberations as a whole will be
helpful and suggestive

was not assigned the place in the procession last
week to which he and the city Of Chicago and
the State of Illinois consider that he was entitled
by virtue of his official position as Governor OF
the State which, as he says. was the home or
Lincoln and Grant" His rcticence and COM
posure under the slight during his stay In the
city deserve high praise. Had he given express
sion to his feelings during the ceremonies it
might have Jared the general good feeling. 1t
was not unnatural, however, that upon his re-
turn to Chicago he should give some little vent
to his disappointment and dissatisfaction For
as he puts it. the disrespect shown him was not
personal to himself-that he might have borne
in becoming silence-but to the great State or
Illinois, and that aroused his resentment. Even
then he was disposed rather to be magnanlmous
than unduly severe "Of course" he says, 1.-THE
committee saw fit to slight Illinois as to POI
"siton in the parade" but he adds with great
good nature, 1--WE are not making much or
fuss" 1T may have been mistake" he says,
las the ew-Yorkers, | suppose, do not know
that Grant came from Illinois" There appears
to be shade of sarcasm in this remark, but IN
the circumstances it is hardly to be wondered
at There is also a suggestion OF unkindness IN
the remark Of one Of the members of his staff
several OF whom were SUBJECTED W tnc huiS"'y
Of having their names msspelled in the news
papers while here-that "New-YOrk Is too pro-
"vincial to appreciate the compliment OF visits
from Governors" but he may nave been labor
ing under excitement.
The treatment Of Governor Tanner, we re-
peat is greatly to be regretted. But 1t seems
possible after all, that the Governor himself
may have mistaken the meaning of the cere-
monies and the purpose Of the demonstration.
If it had been n demonstration in honor or the
State Of Illinois for having given General Grant
to the Union, there would have been manifest
propriety in assigning to the Governor and
his staff the right Of the line to which he
thinks they were entitled But it was not that;
ut least it was not so understood outside Of IL
linois. And perhaps when the Governor be-
comes calmer and realizes that fact he will feel
differently. He deserves praise for mot max
ing much Of a fuss'-or not very much of fuss
over the question Of precedence. That Is like
both Lincoln and Grant Indeed, we very much
doubt IL either one Of them ever made or ever
felt disposed to make any fuss whatever over
question of precedence. But Illinois was not 50
great State nor Chicago so much Of a town in
their time

INTERNATIONAL POSTAL CONFERENCE.

v
The fifth meeting Of the International Postal
Conference In Washington on "Wednesday, repre-
senting about sixty-five countries Of the world
is an event of more than ordinary Importance
1t has often been said that the progress of civil
izaiOn can be pretty accurately gagged by the
use Of soap. But the same thing can be said
with equal truth about the use Of the mails Not
only does the expansion Of postal business
throughout the civilized world indicate the
spread of intelligence, but 1t has the effect of
promoting intelligence. AS an educator, indeed
the postotiice holds an important place in mod
ern life and for that reason alone 1t Is the duty
OF every enlightened government to increase its
efficiency as much az possible. If this Is true Of
individual governments, 1t IL even more true OF
the great governments Of the world In their re-
latlons with each other. Anything that tends
TO encourage and make easier the postal COM
munlcatiOn between their citizens Il TO be well
coined as n step forward toward that mutual
understanding and friendship on which Interna-
tional progress 30 largely depends. In every do
