TO POSTMASTERS.
When newspapers nre not called for It In made
J-* doty of Postmasters under the law to notify
tli# proprietor* of this fact. Card*, already print

whose only duty will be to All out with the name

The annual salary connected
with the position of associate-jus.
tice of the supreme court is ten
thousand dollars. It is n life office,
and judges who have served on the

Tli. ro is great trouble over the
portrait of Mrs. Hayes, presented
by the Women's Temperance
Union, the artist haring depicted

known, the soul destroying claret
is made.
Hast Monday another six-day
walk was commenced in New
York, the participants being inc 1
who have long been before the peo
ple as great walkers. There were
ten starters, but tiie contest wus
finally narrowed down to four, Ro

negro, with tho chances in favor of
the Knglishman Howell.
The United States District
Judge for Ohio lias decided that
the Legislature of that Slate had a
constitutional right to provide by
law for separate public schools for
whites and colored children. The
cpiestion was carried into court by
some fanatics who wanted to force
the negroes into tho schools for
whites. As Ohio is an intensely
Republican Stale, and the Judge
a Republican, this decision ought
to settle thabquestion everywhere
STATE PROTECTION.
The Atlanta rort-Appeal, in
speaking of the growth of cotton
manufactories in the South, says
“the shifting of the manufacturing
interests will cause a strong com
petition and rivalry to spring up
between the South and New Eng
land, and it is not improbable that
Southern manufacturing will favor
State' legislation in the shape of
licences and special taxes on out
side comjictitors that will amount
to a discrimination against the sale
of tiie manufactured products ot
the East in this section.” This is
rather a novel idea—State protec
tion—and ifearried out would ebon
make the States so far as commerce
is concerned, foreign to each other
and icsult in contention. The idea
might be carried out further and
made to apply counties and towns,
and then we would have eacli com
munity fenced olf from the outer
world and scries of little indepen
dencies established. But sup|»ise
the other States were to follow the
example of the South, where then
would our manufacturers find a
market? But in ail the ideas ad
vanced by the Protectionists we
fail to find one forming the protec
tion of the men who raise the cot
ton, and we know of no class who
now more sorely need n little

Is- spared even to conciliate tiie
discomfited friends of the assassi
lulled administration, every effort
is made to elmngo its conservatism
into stalwartism. Rescue Conk
lings are given high and honorable
place, and millions are syndicated
to attempt to venalize and corrupt
tho ‘‘solid south,” so ns to increase
tho permanency of slutwart rule.”
The -Wick might have added
that any (leorgian who would sell
himself lo tiie stalwart ndininislrn
tion places himself in n position
more repulsive lo the honest people
of the south than were the carpet
baggers in the darkest days of re
construction.
Considerable uncertainty is re
ported at Washington ns to what
the Ways ami Means Committee
will probably do in regard to n re
duction of tho internal revenue.
Even those members of tho com
mittee who favored a large reduc
tion were not agreed ns to details.
It is predicted that any attempt to
put through a hill proposing a
large reduction of whisky and to
bacco taxes would meet with a live
ly and formidable opposition, and
that tho people, and particularly
those of tiie West, are not prepar
ed to regard with complacency a
reduction of these taxes, so long ns

sugar, salt and a number of other
items of the tarill were left un

NATIONAL BANKS.
The charters of 898 national
hankB expire within a year. On
one day 291 of them will go out of
existence. Some fears have been
expressed tlmt the closing of these
hanks and tiie withdrawal of their
notcs’from circulation will produce
a ge/erul financial panic, and if no
stops arc taken by our legislators
it inny be so. But we never could
sec why these banks were ever giv
en the power to thus influence the
money market. Why it should he
wrong for the government to issue
pajicr currency, and right for it to
delegate that same privilege to a
number of banks, is something we
can’t understand. The panic that
is feared could easily be averted
by the government issuing green
hacks to the amount of thocircula
tion of tho national banks whose
charters expire, thus keeping the
volume of the currency in the coun
try the same. As for national
hanks, we should he sorry to sec
their charters extended, ns they are
not ns safe depositories as those
organized under state laws, and
wo are opposed to the government
lending its name to any associ
ation of moneyed men.
The convict camps of Kentucky
have lieen described as places of
barbarous torture. A committee
of the Legislature is making nil
investigation. The testimony thus
far taken seems to hear out the
worst of charges. In one camp,
only thirteen out of fifty convicts
survived a year of excessive labor
at lumbering, insufficient food,
scant clothes, and entire absence
of medical attention. Suicides
have been common among the pris
oners, and deliberate murders bv
the keepers, under the plea of oil-
forcing discipline, have come to
light. In a coalmining camp,
when the men protested against
going into a dangerous tunnel, the
keeper drove them in at the mouth
of a cocked revolver. Three hours
At the present rate of reduction
it will take about twelve years to
pay off the Xationul debt. Hut the
questions arises whether the coun
try can afford to imperil its stabili
ty by depriving itself or this “na
tional blessing.”—font-Appeal.
If this country can he held to
gether only by tho bonds of a na
tional debt, the sooner it goes to
pieces the better. It is the old
moimrchia! idea of making a strong
government by keeping up a na
tional debt, and those who advo
cate it in this country are those
who dydike file republicanism of
the fathers and would set up ail
aristocracy based upon wealth. The
above coming as it docs from the
State organ of the Independents
shows that this new party is last
taking up and adopting the politi
cal idea of the Republican party.
The senate lias already passed
the hill putting General Grant on
the retired list of the army, with
half pay. General Grant was a
Mexican soldier. Why not pen-
siou or retire other Mexican sol
diers? Their friends should look
after tiiis matter when the Grant
hill comes up in the house. It
would make a good “rider,”

Hackensack, New Jersey. The
gardeners have immense hot lions-

$9 a quart, the price being grad

March, when the competition ol
Fioridn berries brings it down to
$3. Raising strawberries under
