" Prlratc rostefflces."
The federal authorities in New Yerk
city have been making a raid upon what
are known as the private posteffices there,
and propose te suppress certain lone es
tablished institutions which are in the
business of distributing by carriers and
messengers large quantities of postal
matter which they who have te circulate
it find that they can send out mere
cheaply by this private service than by
the posteffice agencies. It is net, per
haps, generally known that the postal
law prohibits the establishment of any
" private express for the conveyance of
letters or packets, which in any manner
cause or provide for the conveyance of
the same by regular trips at stated
periods, ever any pest route which is, or
may be, established by law ; or from any
city, town or place te any ether
city, town or place between which
the mail is regularly carried," under
a penalty of $150 for these who
establish it and of $50 line for any
one who patronizes it. The reason for
such prohibition, it is claimed, lies in
the fact that the average rates of postage
established by the government are found
ed en a consideration alike of the profits
in delivering letters in populous com
munities and between near points and
that of sending them te far distant sta
tions ; and these laws are " te prevent
people from calling en the postellice te
de their expensive work, such as carry
ing letters te New Mexico, Arizona and
Dakota, ami employing private agents
te de the inexpensive work." liefere
there were letter carriers such dispatches
and agencies existed in the large cities
by the toleration of the law, but new all
the streets of a city ever which the car
riers pass are regarded as a postal route
and come within the inhibition. This
regulation by the government, or the
construction put upon it by the federal
auterities, does net seem reasonable, es
pecially in view of the high rates of drop
letter postage. Notwithstanding the
reduction of ordinary letter post
age, seen te take effect, from
three te two cents, the rate for
city letters is te remain at two,
and it is easy te see hew merchants and
ether business men can much better
afford te hire carriers specially te deliver
circulars or letters iu large quantities
than te send them through the postellice.
A man can deliver thousands of these in
a day and at one-fifth the ce3t that the
posteffice charges. If it may be permitted
individuals te de this en their own ac
count there is no geed reason for pre
hibiting agencies which make a business
of it. The firms in Xew Yerk who have
built up a large interest, by delivering
mail at one cent for which the govern
ment charges two cents, will net
give it up without a legal resistance, j it
which they will be supported by the
mercantile community whom they ac
commodate. The government will have
te show some better reason than that it
takes money from the postal department
te make popular this regulation against
the private message deliveries. The ex
press companies, the telegraph lines and
the district messenger systems all come
into competition with the posteffices,
but that is no geed reason for their sup
pression, It is doubtful whether the
government ought te interfere with or
undertake anything that can be done
mere cheaply and better by private en
t rprise.
m
Vauderbill's Itclireincnl.
Mr. Vanderbilt strips himself of his
dignities and starts for liurope. Mr.
(Jeuld has buiit himself a yacht and pro
poses te go abroad. It leeks somewhat
:is though these finan ial magnates were
fleeing from the wrath te come. 1 1 may
be that they simply are philosophers,
who think they have worked long
enough and have made money enough,
and are entitled te the enjoyment of
their ease. But, considering tie avidity
with which they have pursued their
money-getting schemes, there is ground
for the suspicion that they think
there is profit as well as
ease iu lying en their ears for
a season. Mr. Vanderbilt some time
age showed an appreciation of govern
ment bends as an investment which was
remarkable for a man who had se great
facilities for making large interest en
bis capital. There is no reason te doubt
bis shrewdness and wisdom in worldly
matters, since he has been eminently
successful in conducting them ; and it
does net appear that he is disposed te
withdraw his attention from the consid
eration of money making matters, since
he is actively engaged in projecting new
lines of railroad. It is only with the
conduct of the affairs of the old corpor
ations that he, and his father before him,
managed and milked,that he disconnects
himself. He seems te want fresh fields
and pastures new. Perhaps the old cor
porations are se well established that lie
thinks there is no further glory te be
had in administering them, or perhaps he
finds that there is mere cream te be
gathered en his new ventures than from
the watered old ones.
In retiring from his presidencies Mr.
Vanderbilt prudently forbore te partic
ularly say what actuated lain ; lie was
prudent in this because his reputation
for veracity would net have secured cre
dence te his explanations. The public
will judge from his act3. Their inter
pretation is really net difficult. It is as
clear new as it was when he sold New
Yerk Central stock and bought govern
ment bends, and then went heavily into
new railroad enterprises, that Mr. Van
derbilt considers almost anything a bet
ter property te held than the heavily
capitalized railroads which are called
upon te meet the competition of young,
vigorous and lightly leaded rivals.
In some of the western counties where
deadlocks and perilous political situa
tions have ensued from tlie conflicts
arising out of the conferee system of
making a nomination for several coun
ties, the politicians are discussing the
substitution of the Ohie system, which
leaves the selection of congressional can
didates te aconventien composed of
delegates from each election precinct in
the several counties. This is a decided
improvement en the conferee system.
The Strides.
Of course the newspapers new are
calling for arbitration in the strikes and
threatened strikes. Senater "Wallace's
brand new bill is summoned te the front.
But it is net apparent that there is
much of an owning for it in this emer
gency. The sole question between-the
employers and employed is as te the
value of their labor. In the iron trade
the manufacturers say that they can
not afford te pay mere wages than
they offer. If this be true, they
obviously cannot agree te abide
by the opinion of arbitrators te the
contrary. If they de net knew best
what they can afford te pay. they knew
best, at least, what they will pay ; and
as they appear te have unanimously
made up their minds en the subject they
have no need for asking the opinion of
arbitrators. If the employed are un
willing te accept the terms offered
lhem,the alternative is a cessation of
work. This is a free country in which
no man can be compelled either te give
or take for labor mere or less than he
pleases. A strike is the natural result of
a disagreement as te the value of labor,
and the state has no particular con
cern with it, se long as there is
no breach of the peace. Tlie iien man
ufactories may as well be idle when their
work is unprofitable, and it is quite cer
tain that they will only be idle then.
The workmen may as well enjoy their
leisure as employ themselves in unorM'i, unerM'i,
able labor, provided they can a:lrd
the luxury. When they cannot, i:,ry w'
go te work at wages that will itiv.se'. -t :r
labor profitable.
.Ji'iHiie Livingston has been using
his eyes and ears te some purpose in his
recent walks around the town. Since
he has come te appreciate hew readily
citizens will certify and swear that
useless places are necessary te the public
accommodation and that places have
conveniences which they lack, it lias oc
curred te him that even ministry te the
necessities of trade and travel does net
involve a breach et the law under
which the liquor sellers are licensed. It
ought net, of course, te be necessary ,for
the judges of the court te de the work of
the constables and te supp' the failure
of citizens te bring effender.1, .ig.iin.il the
liquor law te the notice of the civil au
thorities, but the. judges cannot, consist
ently with their duties, reject the evi
dence of their senses, and when they
have reason te suspect violations, the
suspicion is certainly justified and
heightened if the alleged violators refuse
te accept a plain method offered for their
self-vindication.

tional interest.
Episcopal llegister.
ltev. Heber Newton, of New Yerk, ha3
been formally presented te the bishop for
trial. Whether the bishop will proceed
te a trial or quash the indictment remains
te be seen. lie has it in his power te de
either. We think the presenters have
made a mistake. Mr. Newton has un
doubtedly taught false doctrines, ami, we
believe, dangerous doctrines. But he has
done se rather by implication than in
form In order for a preacher te lay
himself open te trial ler heresy it is
necessary that he should have a clear
intellectual notion of what the truth
is from which he wilfully departs
If this koewledgo is lacking, he is
rather te be labored with as indectus than
te be proceeded against as heretical. Iu
this case there is every evidence that the
offender is wanting iu that knowledge of
the truth which makes wilful heresy
possible. There is no iudicatieu in the
whole seope of Mr. Newton's much pub
lished deliverances that he has ever grasp
ed the Catholic doctrine as the place aud
function of the Hely Scriptures, lie has
simply gene from the extreme right te tbe
extreme left. We very much doubt if he
is any mere or any less heretical today
than he was in an opposite direction 20
years age. Iu some cases heresy is plainly
recognizable, being defined iu advance.
In ethers it is exceedingly dilficult te make
up a case. We think this question of the
place aud fuuctieu of the Hely Scriptures
is otie of the most unfortunate
possible upon which te make an
issue. If the case be pressed, we
confidently predict that the very be.st
which may be hoped for will be the Scotch
vrdtet of ' net guilty, but don't de it
r.'v.tu.' Atrial for heresy, thou, is simply
a i.n.lfer breach of contract. It is net a
ipt-.-iieii as te whether the utterances of
flic Rev. Mr. Newton are iu themselvcs
true or false, but whether they are such as
the Protestant Episcopal church allows or
disallows. In ease this should be decided
iu the negative, no injustice is done the
accused. He is .simply forced te de what
au honorable man should de without
forcing, i. c, te ehoeso whether he will
retain the position aud respectability
which the church gives te him en certain
conditions ; or whether he shall give up
his position when lie discovers that he
cannot fulfill the conditions. His charac
ter, his reputation, the truth or falsity of
the bolief, all these remain absolutely un
touched. There is a disagreement, and
judgment' has been called for. We
think it would have been better net te ask
judgment in this case, but new that it has
been asked for, the umpire is en trial. Let
us have judgment."

Jfer the Iteuelit or tlie Clergy.
Lancaster Inquirer.
It has been a very general custom for
church people when candidates for eluce
were iu the field te call ou them for sub
scriptions for the purpose of assisting te
build a church, pay for repairs or te assist
in paying oil a debt previously contracted.
Se common has been this practice iu this
scctieu of country that prominent candi
dates for ofhce have counted as au impor
tant item of their expenses the centribu
tiens they would be under the necessity
of makiuir for church purposea. Of
course, as a general rule, there was no
direct prom ise en the part et the church
pcople that their votes would be forth
coming iu return for their candidate's
contribution aud yet we have mere than
once heard of offers of this kind, aud also
of the same eiler being niade te opposing
candidates. These, of ceurse were excep
tiens, but it has been a common practic3
for theso who solicit these contributions
te intimate that the result of cemplianca
would be a large vete from the cougrcira ceugrcira cougrcira
iien immediately interested.
Such ouceuragemont te bribery, for it is
nothing less than this, ought t be em
phatically discouraged by the clergy, and
all ethers interested in the purity of
churches. Ne amount of denunciation et
the direct purchase et votes will have
much weight se long as this indirect bri
bery is cuceuraiicd aud practiced. The
whele system is wrong in its details aud
its aggregate and the clergyman who
hopes te succeed iu putting dewu the evil
must fearlessly expose all its ramihca
tieus.
ISradlaugh's l'ershrteuce.
Iu the IIouse of Commens yesterday
the speaker stated that he had received a
letter from Mr. Bradlaugh, iu which that
gentleman auueunccd that he would, at
the beginning of business, ask te be per
mitted te take the oath. The speaker
asked for the guidance of the Heuse.
Loud cries were made for Mr. Gladstone,
but, as the prime minister did net rise,
Sir Stafferd Northeeta stated that he
would propose that Mr. Brad laugh
be precluded from geiug through
such a form. Mr. Gladstone said
that he could raise no objection te the
motion, which, under the circumstauces,
Sir Stafferd Northceto was the proper
persen te make, aud en motion of Mr.
Labeuchere, it was decided te hear Mr.
Bradlaugh iu his own behail at the bar of
the Heuse. Mr. Bradlaugh, in his speech
pointed out that the Heuso had thought
Ut te reicct the athrmatieu bill, the pas
sage of which would have enabled him te
take his seat. It was new hia duty te

seat in the Heuso, aud in the name et the
law he demanded it. His exclusion was
au act of lla"raut iniquity. Ne act of his
bad Justified the action of the Heuse,
which should declare his seat vacant or
pas-s a bill disqualifying hiui. As long as
he was r.et disqualified he would claim the
right te the seat. After speaking for half
an hour, Air. Lradlaugh returned te his

te this educational evil, ene which cries '
aloud for redress ; and while the " aver
age director" Is getting himself ready te
apply an adequate remedy te this vital
defect in our school system he should
make up his mind te eradicate the dis
graceful discrimination which pays te a
man mere money than te a woman who
does the same amount of work. Credit
able te the country districts of Lancaster
county is it that very few, if any, enforce
an injustice se great ; but in Lancaster
city this discrimination is in full force
from the high school down te the lowest
grade in which men are employed. What
right or reason is there in paying thirty
dollars per month less te a female teacher
than is received by a man in the same
grade and with the same respensibilites ?

Twe " private letter offices." iu New
Yerk, ene kept bv a man named Ilussey,
the ether by a man named Boyd, was
raided upon aud closed l'riday by pest
ellice officials. Ne arrests were made.but
about 20,000 letters aud packages were
seized. Shortly alter 7:30 o'clock the
carriers at eaeh of these places began
coming out with their leather bags cram
med with letters slung ever their should
ers, and at a given signal from Colonel
Sharp, chief inspector of the general past
office at Washington, who was iu waiting
with five United States deputy marshals
in citizens' dress, the men were seized
and their pouches taken away.
Seme in their fright threw dewu their
letters and newspapers and took te their
heels. The inspectors then proceeded te
take possession of both offices, and shortly
afterward a truck was driven up te the
doers, te which a 'a-go assortment et let
ters, papers and circulars were transferred
aud driven off t j the general posteffice.
The total seizure is estimated at 20,000
letters aud circulars. Such of the carriei s
as they were overtakou were discharged,
aud the ether employees were given their
freedom, from the fast that the govern
ment is about te bring suits against the
principals. Mr. Blackball, the manager et
Boyd's dispatch, says : " I think the offi

The worst that can be done is te prevent

The License Cases.
The court took up the licenses and heard
the applications for new stauds and arizu

against them.
A motion was made for a centinuance
of the case of Jehn Klump, keeper of a
restaurant ou Locust street, this city, te
euable the ewner of the property te pro
cure another tenant se that the license te
the heuse might net be lest. Judge Liv

certain facts that came te his knowl
edge and from personal observation.
He has been taking Sunday walks
around the city for some months past iu
order te learn something concerning the
running of licensed places. Iu passing
this place ene Sunday he found the en
trance open and a great many men passing
in aud out ; he there saw sufficient te
convince . him that the law was being
violated by the selling of liquors. With a
view te give this man, as well as ethers,
au opportunity te vindicate himself he
had prepared au affidavit, which was sub
mitted te Klump and he refused te sign it.
His honor stated that he had kuowledge
of ether saloeu keepers who have violated
the law. Seme of these he could net reach
as licenses have already bcen grautud them.
Parties who are suspected of violating the
laws will hereafter be compelled te sign

THK LASUASTKK HIUI1 SCHOOL.
Complimented by a Western Krtucater.
The follewiug is taken from an address
of Prof. U. B. Jacobs, late president of
the Indiana state teachers' association. It
is understood te refer te the. high school
of this citv. visited some time as;e by Prof.
Jacobs. These observations of a disin
terested stranger are highly satisfactory
te our local system.
Seme months age, while ou a vu-it East,
I had the pleasure of visiting the Beys'
hi;h school of one of our eastern cities. I
was impressed with the manly bearing of
the pupils and the earnest aud enthusias
tic manner in which they engaged in their
work. Every eue seemed inspired with a
desire te acquire some new, higher knowl
edge. Somehow the very atmosphere
seemed te impress one with the fact that
there was thorough training in that
school. In conversation with the bread
and cultured principal, he said " Mr.
Jacobs, we de net attempt te teach every
thing here, but we aim te teach some
important things well. We aim te fix
firmly iu the minds of these pupils some
leading truths of the subjects they are
studying, aud the rest will take care of
themselves. We are teaching," he centiu
ued, "also the gospel of wonder. When we
have aroused a spirit of wonder in the
minds of these boys, getting them inter
ested iu their studies, se as te wonder at
the truths prosentod ; when they become
awake te the woudersef the heavens above
and the earth beneath ; when they wonder
at themselves, we think we have made ex
cellent progress in their education, and in
preparing them for future usefulness."
IIe said niore. " We have been in this
building," he remarked, " new seven
years. Yeu see the surroundings. I have
net seen, iu all that time, a scratch or
mark of any kind about this school, that
would indicate an impure thought en the
part of any ene of these pupils. I de net
speak of this te beast of it. I knew what
boys are. lenly give you the facts. Who
cau estimate the value te any community
of the teacher who cau exercise such moral
influence ever a hundred boys who come,
each year, from all grades of society iu
ene of our large cities. The class drills in
that school were indeed iutellectual feasts
of useful, quickening knowledge, of which
the pupils partook with a relish. We felt
it was geed te be there.
