THE EVENING STAR. |T“ WASHINGTON: that of any other daily paper Washington, and wach greate: the other daily papers here added ‘The special-delivery system is now considered, Dy the chief officers of the Post-Office Department positive success. The gauge of its acceptability ‘wthe people is the fact that there bas been an Inerease tn the business done tn this line nearly @ouble the increase in the general business of the department. That ts gratifying, of course, to everyone but the telegraph companies, Wo must fe@h the effect of tye new post.al convenience tn the form of a dimtnished revenue from ioug messages sat by wire. That the working of the system 1s by no means perfect yet is shown by a circum. stance which was brought to Tar Stan's atten. tion a few Weeks ago, when a citizen of George town mailed at the branch office there an impor. fant spe-ial-delivers letter early one Saturday ‘evening, and It was not delivered at its destination tm New York City tll Monday morning at about 9 O’clock. ‘The postmaster showed that it left mim good season, and Wes received Mm Sow York on Sunday toroiag: ‘but Postinaser Pearson, of the latter city,doubiless with the same peculiar notions of serving the public which lately ‘im to put forced and ridiculous con- struction on the statutes concerning wird and fourth class mail matter, retained it carefully tn tm bis possession for twenty-four hours, and kept two correspondents Ina state of tormenting sus ‘pense till they resorted to Che telegraph after all, a In how many directions the effect of a strike is felt is shown by the misfortunes of a lot of poor fellows who Work th the tron malnes the route of the Kast Pennsylvania railroad, and who have been obliged to seek refuge tn the poorhouse, with thetr families, on account Of the Labor troubles in the Schuylkill valley, Which they have had no share In bringing about or Keeping altve. The furnaces to Which their mines supply ore bave een obiiged to shut down on account of a lack of coal, ag they obtain all thetr fuel from the Reading amines. No ore belug wanted, it does not pay the mine-owners to keep their men at Work, 80 the strike, which was fnaugurated by the Reading col- Mers without consulting the furnace-hands or the ore-diggers, as plunged them ail tn poverty and distress. Unhappily. it 1s the colliers who get the whole of the financtal assistance that ts furnished from without. The turnace-hands and the ore- diggers, Who are in miscry through no act of their own, get none of the money. ‘This seems like a Magrant Injustice, but Mt 1s the way such things work, the world around. ee ‘The latest novelty in popular amusement schemes 18 the project of a Chicago syndicate to Duy the old Livby prison at Richmond, pull 1t | down, ship it to Chicago and reballd it there, en- closed in another Duliding, 2nd with a panoramic ‘ew of the James river and surrounding country painted on a side wall, so arranged that the win- | dows of the restored prison will command tt as they used tocommand the real view from the old site tm Richmond. The idea «, of course, to enable ‘veterans of the War and curiosity-seekers to make or renew acquaintance with the historic structure at the rate of 89 much ahead. It Is possible that the scheme Will prove a great success—there IS no ‘accounting for the fancies that often seize people. Nt would lose, however, its chief romantic miterest to most of the world if removed trom its tamiliar surroundings; and there would cling about it, in Nts rejuvenated form, too much of the apocryphal favor of the Telic shoW-room In Ireland, Where the curator gravely exhibits o large adult skull as that of St Patrick, taken from his burial-place fifty Years after bis death, and another of diminutive Size ae “the skull of the same celebrated prelate When @ boy.” + =—______ ‘The mercantile avency reports for the week end. ing last Saturday cohtain evidences that a more cheerful feeling ts pertadine all branches of legiti- mate trade, although prices, as a rule, stiffen simply but refuse to rise. The iron market has a ‘steadier tone than for some time past, but it 1s confessediy owing to the strike In the cnal regions, nd 1s lable to change If the strike ceases, Stocks ‘show an average decline of one-quarter per cent ag the result of the week's business, but this 1s donbtiess due in part to a cause which fs not in any sense lamentabie—namely. a change of invest- went for foreign capital, which ts withdrawn from Wail street to be put into lands and mortgages tn the South and West. This change will bring re Wet in quarters Where it is most ueeded now, While Uae effect on ‘change Will be felt most bF the spec- ators. Money is plenty in New York, some six months loans having been made by the banks there lately at as low a rate as4 percent.
