Tun volumes which contain the list of pensioners of the government are out, and it will soon be possible to ferret out the frauds who are taking advantage of the nation’s generofity. Tk New York postofice started off with two millions of the new two-cent stamps, and an order for fifteen million | more. Such figures help one to realize the greatness of this country and its me- tropolis.

He proposes to get even by watering the stock of some of the half a dozen roads which he controls. JouN Roacu is the checkiest of his tribe yet discovered. He has sent a bill for §21,000 to the Secretary of the Treas- ury for taking care of the Roanoke since 1877. This anounts to $8 a day.

Workingman's Tur reduction of the public debt dur- ing September was $14,707,229, or more than $8,000,000 greater than that of August. During the last three months the reduction has aggregated $29,179,671, or more than $15,600,000 less than the reduction during the same period of last yoar. At this rate it is estimated that the total reduction for the year will be but 876,000,000 Tux docision of the New Yotk Court of Appeals in the suit brought by Rufus Hatch and others against the Westorn in in every respeot favorable to that cor- poration. The court holds that the ab- sortion of the Atlantic & Pacific and Amorican Union was not in violation of the law and that the issue of $15,000,000 wtook dividend was not prohibited by the Stato statutes. The suit will not be car- riod up to the Federal Courts, Mone army officers have -been retired during the past two years for age or length of service than will leave the army for four years to come, The list includ- ing McDowell, Meigs, Rucker, Inealls, Hunt and Eakin, was increased this week by the addition of General Getty, Colo- nel of the Third Artillery, who came under the operation of the compulsory retirement law. The New York Sun notes the equanimity with which the ofti- cers who have thus far been removed from the active list under the compulsory statute have accepted their fate. One « two of them had written vigorousl; against the measure while it was still ponding, but it is now probably recog- nized as being no hardship, Gen. Meigs not long ago, even sent a lotter of con- gratulation to Gen. Ekin on having join- od the retired list, based it upon theso considerations: ““The country we havo soeved for 50 many years has provided sufficiently for our comfort, and we should not regret the relief from labor aud activivy, while we have all that is neces. wary and time to enjoy leisure, which I hope we shall succeed in making pleasant for our- welves and profitable to those who depend us, In fact, an officer still in the vigor of manhood, and with many years of health and enjoyment in prospect, has little ground for complaint in being relieved from all official cares and respansibilities, while receiving from the government three-fourths of the pay which was con- sidered an adequate remuneration for the devotion of his time to active military service, Only two more retirements for ago are 10 b made this year, those of General Bwift, of the medical department, and Chaplain Blake; for although General Sherman proposes to turn over the com- mand of the army to General Sheridan on the first of November, which will be soon after returning from his travels, he will not complete his sixty-fourth year and be formally put on the retired shelf wutil the 8th of February. chatges made againat him by | FHE DAILY BEE-- OMALA, FRICAY, OC1UBER 5, 185 CHEAP PUSTAGE, Tho inauguration of cheap postago on Tuesday in the United States by the operation of the now postal law, invites attention to the growth of the postoffice business in this country, and the history f its establishment. after the first settlements in New Eng For several yoars land and Virginia, 1o such an official as the post master was known. Nine years after the settlement of Boston, the gen eral court appointed one man to receive all the letters at his house, and to deliver or send them to the person to whom they were addressed, receiving one penny for ch letter for The first mail, which was a monthly one, was established between New York and Bos ton in 16 o his trouble. started in Philadelphia the first post- ce, which was the germ of the colonial system. Tt was Benjamin Frank- lin who made the postoffice self-sustain nd secured a revenue of §15,000 the before the outbreak of the revolu tion. One of the first acts of the government after its organization in 1789 Federal less than 90 miles; 124 cents for less than 150 miles; 17 cents for under 300 miles; | 20 cents for less than 500 miles, and 25 cents for all distances exceeding 500 miles. There wero no envelopes. The letters were roquired to be written on one piece of paper, or the rato was was doubled. The postage could be paid by the sendoer or recoiver, but letters were seldom fprepaid. The mails were carried in stage coaches or on horseback. In 1816 the first change was made in this law and a new schedule of g} cents for 30 miles, 10 for 80, 12} for 160, 18} for 300 and 25 for 400 miles went into operation and existed until 1845, The success of Rowland Hill's postage re- form in England induced Congress in 1846 to make another change. The schedule of 1845 fixed the rate of asingle letter for any distance under 500 miles at fivo cents, and for any further dis- tance at ten cents, The vast extonsion of territory in consequence of the acquisition of Texas, New Mexico and California entailed additional expense, and it was fearcd that the postoflice de- par ment could not bo made to pay its expensesat that rate. In 1851 an effort was made to raiso the rate, but it ro- sulted in a further reduction to 3 cents for all distances under 3,000 miles, and 6Gcents foc more than 3,000; if the letter was not prepaid the postagoswas b conts. It was not until 1853 that the system of a uniform rate of 3 cents for the half- ounce letter, for all distances in the United States, was adopted. his is, in the Rowland Hill system, which ef- feoted such & vast and benoficent chango in England. In 1872 the freo delivery system was inauguaated and later the postal card was introduced. The last step, a uniform 2-cent letter rate, is now accomplished. What effect the reduction of the post- ago will have upon the revenues of the dopartment it is impossible as yot to estimate. The probabilitics are that enough additional lotters and sealed cir- culars will be sent to nearly make up for the reduction in the rate. Between a one cent postal card and a two cent lotter the difference 18 8o slight that it is reason- able to supposo that many will make the change on account of the greater privacy secured from closed snvelopes. STAND UP T0 THE RACKET. Tue Omana Bk admits that Mr, Reese is an honest man, a splendid gen- tleman, and a clean-handed advocate. But it objecta to his election because he has not been on the judicial bench be- fore this. This is twaddle and the peo- r]o will 8o say on election day. If he has the legal ability, the honesty and judgment, his experience will come to him' after olection, He is the people's man, one of them in every sense, hearty, honest, free from every immoral taint, studious, able, and will get there, und don't you forget it. No Savage demo- crat, nominated by the monopoly eappers of the bourbon party, can beat him fair- ly.—Hastings Gazette Journal. Do not misreprosent, if you please, Quote Tik Bk correctly or don't quote itatall. We have nover said Mr, Reese was an honest man. We have never said that he was dis- honest. We have never said that he is a clean handed advocate, but wo havo said that ko was an U, P. attor- noy and was pnployed by that corporation in fighting righteous claims of Saun ders county homestcaders against the land grabbers, But how can the editor of the Gazette- Journal, with any decency, villify and slander Judge Savage, in the face ot his own voluntary endorsement made ouly four weeks ago? How does his con- temptible abuse of Judge Savage during the past week read in the light of the following editorial, which we copied from the Hastings Gazetlo-Journal be- fore Judge Savage was endorsed by the anti-monopolists! In nowihating Judge Suvage for Su reme Judge, the Democrats of Nebraska have done well, Buing o good lawyer, a trained judicial thinker, and an honest and upright man, if elected he will make a most excellent Judge, Ho is something of a rarity in his party, both as to patri- otism and information, The Democrats in Nebraska don't propose to place them- selves in such a position as to bo called blunderers, This nomination at least is opposite to that ide It was the best they could do, and of which they need feel no shame, Toput the very best man for that office is the height of political wisdom. The Republicans will be driven to follow the same line of policy. No scrub lawyer need apply, They will be u.....punuf to put an equally able and ac ceptable man upon their ticket, or be wed under this fall, So faras that is concerned, the public will be benefitted, Aud in case the Republicans are defeated, then we shall have a man elected who will in vo sense disgrace the bench. Now we ask, in all candor, what has | caused this sudden change! Has Judge and in 1683 William Penn | was to organize a postoflice system. The |, first law fixed the rato of postage at 8 conta for less than 40 miles; 10 cents for Savage done anything during the past month that would chai the good opin. ion any man may have formed as to his character or fitneas for the hench? Have the Republicans nominated a botter man or even as good a man as Colonel Savage? Isn't Mr. Reeso really “‘a scrub lawyer” when we think of him as a possible Chief Justice of the Supreme Court? Will the Editor of the Wazette-Journal now stand up to the racket liko a man, or does he [ propose to swallow himaclf and act the cowardly bushwhacker and political de- magogue?

That there are more Re- publicans than Democrats in Ohio can bo easily demonstrated by figures: Dur- ing the last six years there have been six State and one Presidential elections. The Republicans have had a plurality at five of them, the Democrats at two. Looking back over these seven elections we find Highest Republican vote (Presid 1850) nt, Highest Democratic vote ($ State, 1880) scretary of (G lican ve ernor, oo 249,105 tic vote (Governor, 7) Average Average Democratic vote 307 At the lowest calculation, therefor there aro 8,000 more Republicans than Democrats in oo, if we take a comparison st votes, there are 32,000 more. these figures are all in favor of th publicans until we come to the fact that the Democrats car- ried the State at the last election by 19,000 plurality. But their total vote last year was 20,000 less than Foster re- ceived four years ago, 68,000 less than were cast for Garfield three years ago, and only 4,000 more than Foster r in 1881. Seven hundred and twenty-five thou- sand votes were cast in Ohio in 1881, the largest vote of the State. From 700,000 to 715,000 will be castthis year. Thisvote will be cast, because, first, it is theyear before the Presidential campaign, and Ohio has not yet lost her key-note con- cert; second, the peculiar circumstances attending the nominations have awaken- ed much interest; third, the liquor ques- tion agitation,the legal wreck of the Pond law, the enactment and enforcement of the Scott law, and the never-ending dis- cussion of all the phases of the matter, have aroused the voters; fourth, the close contest for control of the Legislature, with nearly 300 candidates for seats tear- ing up the political soil, will be fruitful of results in Dballots; fifth, the energies of the campaign managers on | both sides are bent, not to creating showy p s or making much noise at , but to perfecting organ tion to get out the vo xth, and rather i 1t than any other reason, is ment over the proposed liquor prohibition amendment to the constitu- tion. With all thes s in operation, | it would not be surprising if the total vote would reach as high as the vote of 1880, but a conservative estimate of the ate is 710,000. ) Lot us look a little deeper into the probabil Granting that Ohio is a Republican State, as history shows it to b , what made it turn Democratic last | 000t The first great cause was the defection of a large portion of the Republican Germans and nearly all the Repvblican liquor men on account of the Pond law. The second cause was the stay-at-home Republican vote in the strong Republi- can counties of the northeast or Western Reserve district of the state. In 1881, when Governor Charles Foster was re- elected with a plurality of 26,000, the ten counties comprising the Western Re- servo district contributed nearly 85 per cent of it, or 22,419. Here, in these ten counties, is the bulwark of the Re- }»uhlic:m party of Ohio; and although ut one of them (Cuyahoga, city of Cleveland) was appreciably affected by the German liquor element dissatisfac- tion, in one year that plurality of 22 419 dwindled to a paltry 10,125, a loss of nearly 60 per cent of the Republican plurality of 1881 in ten counties, casting a littlo less than 15 per cent of the whole vote of the State. The deductions from this glance at the campaign of 1882 are that, with a full vote in 1883—a vote larger than that cast for Foster two years ago, though not quite as large as’ that given Garfield in 1880—the Republicans will gain over last year, in the ten counties spoken of, about 15,000 votes. But they will not gain that many. In Cuyahoga county the for- cign and liquor elements a strong, and, despite a partial recovery, will hold the Republican gain in the western re- serve down to about 10,000 plurality. The Republicans have to contend” thi year, as last, with the element that is di satisfied with the recent liquor legislation. The Germans are not so excited about it, and & small portion of them will return to the Ltepublican party. The liquor men are just as well organized this year as they were last, even better, and “will again improve their legal holiday on tl, Oth of October by carrying Democratic votes to the polis. Three-fourths of the saloonkeepers of the state (and there are 10,600 saloons) will do nothing else on cotion day but work with might and main from morning until night, with horses, carringes and wagons, getting voters to the poles. This is the influ- ence that carried the state for Democracy last year; it is the infiuence that will keep the Republican pluralty under 10,000 next week. There are divers other influences at work. Chief among these may be men- tioned the following: Many Repub lican wool-growers are dissatistied be- cause Congress reduced the tariff on wool. The Democrats have fanned this dissatisfaction for all it is worth, but it is not turning out & large crop, It is taking more the form of impressing the Ohio Congressmen with the danger of offending the wool-growers rather than | that of open and actual revolt. Still, there is a little gain here for the Demo- crats, There ave other elements in the cam paign, such as the conviet labor question, the repugnance of some Demo their self-assumed bosses and Senatorial manipulators, the cat-and-do m Hamilton county, and many oth But, after all, and considering all influences, the main fact is that on a full vote Ohio The®is Republican, and we are to have a very full vote this year. can Germans and liquor men went over to the democracy last year—14,000 in Hamilton county, 6,000 in Cuyagoga, and 5,000 in the smaller cities—and that | 20,000 of them coutinue with the party ;1 800; Marion, d | The figures in the table, 6,500, are rather year by the comfortable majority of 19,-%hy from 1,500 tr 8,000 plurality, and Girant that 25,000 disaffected Republi- | If they could get in the b XE8 a8 many votes as were ck in 1880, with these 20,000 now recruits added to them, they would have this year. but 360,000, 15,000 m votes than there were cast for Garfiel The b st the Democrats can hope for--more than | some of their leaders predict—is a vote | equaling Hancock's or 340,000.
