THE PoRT-OFFlCR AT
, A8 SECOND CLASS
Cheap rostasre.
Philadelphia Trens.
Fostage-Ueneral James has made
the most Important report of the year.
Any one of his four propositions a
cheap money order, a reorganization
of the railway mall service, a reduc
tion of the salaries of postmasters, or
two cent letter postage would have
made his report remarkable. The
four make it unexampled. In it Mr.
James has added one more to the two
great reports in the history of the
department one of which reorgan
ized the postal service under Kendall,
and the other brought about uniform
letter postage thlrtv years ago. The
time is auspicious for the one change
proposed by Mr. James, which gives
edge to all the rest, cheap postage,
which brings reform home to every
man's pocketbook and every woman's
portemonnaie, and which proposes to
declare a dividend ou the results of
practical economy, and give the people
on every letter mailed a cent out of
every three hitherto taken from their
pockets.
The proposition scores at once the
measure of Mr. James' reforms and
tne extravagance he uprooted. He
has worked no miracle. For five
years every candid observer has
known that efficiency, honesty and
BKiii were all that were needed to
make the change from three-cent to
two-cent letter postace possible, and
Mr. James is well within bounds in
declaring that the Department, with
the aid of Congress, can present to the
country in 1884 two-cent letter postage
as the result of a Republican adminis
tration of the Post Office Department.
The change involves a deficiency little
Targer than the normal loss of the
Post Office Department five years ago,
antl no more serious than was faced
when three-cent postatre was intro
duced In 1851. Existing reforms have
reduced the estimated deficiency of
the Department for the next fiscal
year to $920,077, upon a revenue of
$42,501,722. But a single item in these
revenues, that from full-rate letter pos-
tage, will be affected by this change,
mis judging from the tables In the re
pori lor isHO, the present report
comes unaccompanied by tables is
not over $24,000,000. The receipts for
J68U were $34,315,479, and of these 94
per cent., or $31,494,120 were derived
from postage stamps, stamped envel
opes, newspaper wrappers and postal
carus, including the smaller but still
considerable receipts from foreigu
malls.. The revenue received on local
matter and the other sources men
noneci, whose rate woutd not be
changed by reducing letter postage to
two ceuts, aggregated in 1880 over $12,
wu.uuu, so that the revenues which
have been actually affected in 1880 by
me proposeu cuange was about $ 19,
wu.vuu. m the fiscal year 1883
i ......
oi me postal revenue
affected would, therefore, not be over
5,000,000, probably under this sum
anu two-cent Jotter postage would
bring a deficit of f 8,000,000.
'rge part, at least one-half, of
this deficit could be left to the inevit
able Increase in mail matter which
woiua joiiow this reduction in a few
years, so that the deficit which a pro-
10111 administration would be ealled
vu u meet Dy its economy would be
from $4,000,000 to $5,000,000. Mr,
James points out where this saving
could be made without entering Into
details. The mails are carried wholly
uy passenger trains, and in 1880, the
payment of the Department to the
railroads were six per cent, of the en
tire revenue of all railroads from pas.
ocugers iramc. The proportion is
tne same now; but no sane man sun.
poses that it costs the railroads nearly
.'ue-aijEieentn as much to move the
mans as to do all their passenger busi-
ness.
bince 1868, the amount paid to
postmasters has increased out of pro.
portion 10 tne work done and while
the number of postmasters has but
little more than doubled, their salaries
Lave kept pace with the iucome of the
Department. Reductions in salaries
and a redistribution of railway mail
pay would more than meet half the
necessary deficit. If an addition to
rates on second, third, und fourth-class
uianer proves needed to meet tne rest,
the public sentiment' of the country
will be Inclined ' to support a step
which would add to the efficiency and
increase tbe benefits of the Federal
o iue many.
The Republicans will have a clear
majority in the coming House, not
withstanding the loss of one member
from New York. One hundred and
forty-eight straight Republicans were
elected on November 2, and in tbe
aara month one of that number,
Evarts W; Farr, of New Hampshire,
died;, and the vacancy thus created
most of the altaanao-makers failed to
take account of. Since then a Repub
lican was elected in his place, so that
even with Astor's defeat, the Repub
licans stilt number 147, or just a ma
jority. -In this county the Republicans are
Happy because tbey whipped the Dem
ocrats; tbe Democrats are consoled by
tbe fact that they are second beet; the
Greenbackers are happy because they
are ahead, of the prohibitionists; and
the prohibitionists may point with
pride t their largely increased vote

A lot of low, mean, little, sniveling
newspapers, who know nothing more
than to Ape the editorial wind and
bombast of a few corrupt metropolitan
Bhcets, like curs that follow the larg
est dog, are attempting to attack At
torney General MacVeagh. As he is
the only public man in Pennsylvania
who has succeeded, with honesty, In
the past quarter of a century, to large
and substantial honors, we are proud
as Pennsylvanlans to sustain and de
fend the Attorney General, so long as
his record Is as spotless as It is now.
Politically opposed by his own rela
tives, with no clique nor corrupt
power to back him, Wayne Mac
Veagh has risen to high office and
responsibility in the administration of
the affairs of the nation. Where, in
all Pennsylvania, is the name of a
better man than he? Pennsylvania
should be proud of him. Slnoe the
time of Buchanan she has not had one
man whose voice was heard in the
halls of national legislation as a leader.
The South has her great men; the
East send her statesmen; whose elo
quence thrills and electrifies the land
New York has her Conkllng and her
Tilden men of talent and power;
Ohio had her Garfield; Maine sends
her Blaine; and Pennsylvania what?
Alas! the scroll of publlo fame has
been a stranger to her sons for many
years. True, she has had power in
helping to regulate the affairs of the
nation; but it is the power of political
machinery, and not the honest
strength of statesmanship and learn
ing. Why Is tins? It is because our
national offices are represented by the
tools of men who rule our state. It
is because no man, of honest principles
and liberal and independent ideas,
dare offer himself to the people for of
fice, with any hope of success. God
knows, we would not even have the
poor honor of MacVeagh had not the
noble Garfield reached down and
picked him out from amongst us
Had MacVeagh dared to come out for
office, however, ho would have been
frowned down by that great political
power whose shadow has so long kept
Pennsylvania's talent and statesman'
ship in tbe dark. But Garfield, far
more discerning than unappreciative
Pennsylvania, saw his ability and
worth, and the whole country know
the result.
As for these curs who are barking
at the Attorney General's heels, let
them howl. The air is always full of
noise, and a dog's howl more or less
will not affect it. We place as much
confidence in MacVeagh's law educ-
atiou aud learning as iri"any other
man's, and it is evident that all other
Pennsylvanlans do. Let Pennsyl
van la stand by her son, the first to do
her honor for many -ears. Let us
stand by him for his worth, for hon
esty, and hi the hope of throttling any
power that attempts to crush out good
men.
Frank E. Clark, a clergyman of
Portland, Me., has begun a popular
movement in that city foi the sup
pression of objectional juvenile litera
ture by an address in which lie estl
mated that Portland has 12.000 readers
of this stuff, of which 6,000 are chil
dren. This statement, which makes
more than every other child and every
other adult in Portland a reader of this
noxious trasb, is a pretty liberal one.
The number of habitual readers, even
in a new England community, is less
than one would expect; but whatever
the number, the evil is great. These
books are issued by the hundred
thousand, and are sold on every street
corner in every city in the land; but
their suppression, or the prohibition
of their circulation, will do no good
unless their place is supplied. Bad as
these books are, they are better, as
every antiquarian knows, than like
literature of past centuries. Here, as
in other social problems, the tendency
is upward, and the object of good
men shouldjbe to aid the uplift, not
merely by suppressing bad literature
but by providing good. Unfortu
nately, the problem of providiug good
and at the same time interesting lit
erature for the uneducated is not yet
solved. Philadelphia Press.
A Cranky Miser Robbed of $30,000,
Recently we published an item
about one Jesse Baldwin, residing
near Youngstown, Ohio, taking $17,-
000 in bonds to Washington and get
ting gold therefor. He was mighty
cranky at the time, and would have
the gold, refusing anything else,
He got the coveted metal, lugged
it home and put it Jin an old
safe in his house, where fully as much
more of the same material was stored
safely hid away from the haunts of
industry. Monday night a gang of
burglars, evidently professionals, paid
the home of the eccentric Jesse a
business visit, and when they left
from 30,000 to $40,000 of the miser's
gold went with them and they rode
n his finest carriage behind his best
team. When the safe was exploded
the noise awakened the family, but
the robbers bad securely locked all
doors in the house, thus securing
ample time to get the treasure before
tbe aroused sleepers could intrude
upon them. Baldwin offers $1,000 for
the capture of the thieves and the
money. His course at Washington
wiw an open bid for robbers and every
sensible person expected they would
accept.

AN INTERKSTtNO EPISODE OP THR
SECRETARY'S CROSS-EXAMINATION.
The following is a verbatim report
of an interesting passage between
Secretary Biaiue and Mr. Scoville, la
the Gulteau trial:
Q. Do you know Colonel Hooper, of
the Republican Committee. A. Yes.
Q. Did you ever say to him that
Guiteau was to have a consulship?
A. Never In the world. I never re
member saying a word to him about
it or he to me.
Q. Did you make any remark at the
time of, or immediately after the
shooting, when It was, as to the men
tal condition of Guiteau?
A, I have no recollection of it.
THE CONKLINQ-GARFIELD CONTRO
VERSY REVIVED.
What was the condition of the Re
publican party as to unanimity and
harmony for six weeks before the
shooting of the President? A. (after
a pause.) There were some dissen
sions in it.
tj Tuey were considerable, were
they not? A. Yes, sir.
Q. They created a good deal of ex
citement in the country? A. I should
not say in the country.
Q. I mean among the people. A
The dissension was largely local.
There were differences between the
President and some members of the
party about some matters in New
York.
Q. They were agitated in the press
all over the country? A. They were
commented upon.
Q. I wish you would state briefly to
the jury the substance of these dissen
sions here in Washington and in New
York as a matter of evidence. I refer
to the differences that culminated in
the resignation of tbe Senators from
New York. A. I do not correctly
know the scope of the question.
Q. Were there any such trouble?
A. Oh, yes; there were very sharp
difference of opinion.
U. were t tie re not acts as well as
opinions? A. Yes.
Q. What did they consist of? A.
The act that created the difference.
Q . Tli ere was more than one act in
that connection? A. If you will
specify any particular one I will give
my opinion upon it.
Q,. Perhaps if I call your attention
to the conduct of certain individuals
vou can answer. How was it with
Senator Conklin, of New York? Did
he do anything or say anything that
led to that trouble that fanned the
difference and promoted it? A. What
difference? Laughter.
Q. In the Republican party? A.
About what?
Tbe witness I do not exactly see
the point about which the counsel de
sires me to testify. I have no reluc
tance to testify, ond I hope he will not
consider my answer in that way. The
President had appointed Mr. Robert
son as Collector of Customs at New
York, aud on that and the propriety
of it there grew up a feeling between
hira and his Administration and the
Senator from New York.
Mr. Scoville Now if you will go a
little further and state what happened
after that disagreement grew up.
What resulted from it?
The witness I am sure that I can
make a political speech of two hours
and a half on the subject. Laughter.
If you ask specific questions, I will
answer them.
Q. What was done, if anything, by
the Senators from New York after tho
disagreement with the Administra
tion? Did they resign? A. They re
signed yes, sir.
Q. When was that? A. I think
that the resignation wits on the 28th
of May. Of that I will not be posi
tive. (To the District Attorney) Am
I correct?
The District Attorney It was earlier
than that about the loth.
The prisoner (quietly) The ICth of
May.
What was the cause of their resigning?
A. Discontent with the President's
action in appointing Robertson.
H. wnat loiiowed immediately alter
in relatiou to the election of their
successor?
A. I am very certain that I did not
see what the counsel desires me to tes
tify about.
Mr. Davidge. In your cross-exami
nation, Mr. Scoville, you are not at
liberty to ask leadinir questions. You
ought to question more specifically.
Tne witness. 11 you ask any ques
tion specifically I will answer it.
Mr. Hcovuie dm not consiaerame
feeling arise for several days here, in
the Senate and in Washington over
that matter of disagreement? A. Yes.
o. That resulted in tne resignation
of those Senators, did it not? A. The
wituess nodded assent.
Q. The next step was to elect suc
cessors in New York? Another nod.
Q. And the matter came before the
Legislature and Resulted in a struggle
there? Another nod.
Q. How long did that continue? A.
That struggle continued until long
after the President was shot.
Q. And commenced immediately
after the resignation? A. Yes.
u. Did that strusrcie generate or
keep up the feeling that existed, and
that caused the resignations?
Mr. Davidge objected on the ground
that the examination was taking too
wide a ranee, but after a brief state
ment by Mr. Scoville, withdrew the
objection in order to save time.
Mr. Scoville. When did that contest
terminate at Albany?
The witness, I think that tne ter
mination of it my recollection would
be that it was about the 20th or 21st of
July. It may haye been later. I did
not change my mind witu it. ine
reason 1 did not was that l was very
deeply absorbed and engrossed in the
condition of the President. I can say
to counsel that after the President was
shot the political canvass give me as
little concern and elicited irom me as
little observation as any individual in
the country.
Mr. Scoville. jno doubt or mat.
The witness. I took no part whatever
in the contest in the New York Senate.
STALWARTS AND HALF-BREEDS.
Mr. Scoville: I never understood
that you did. I did not question you
with that idea. I wish to know if
those factions in the Republican party
were classified under certain heads,
and if so, what were they denomin
ated? Answer. I believe that they
were commonly designated as "Stal
warts" and "Half-Breeds."
Q. Did not this term stalwart date
back to the political campaign last
year, including Grant, Logan and
Conkline? Were they not designated
stulwarts, and was not that term used
in lowz A. Yes; tne term is older
than tbat.
a. Did. it not become prominent
before the people in connection with
the Chicago convention? A. It was
used there.
Q, As applicable to tne delegates
that stood by Grant was it not?
There were 80o I think. A. Oh yes.
I believe Guiteau rerers to 111s
term "Stalwart'' in some of his letters?
A. I believe he does.
Q. What would anyone understand
properly from the use of that word?
A. Well, if Counsel is wishing a
chapter in political history to form
part of the testimony, It ought to be
a correct one. The term "Stalwart"
originated before that. I Invented the
term myself. (Laughter).
Q. Then you are just the man we
want to have explain it. When
Guiteau, in his letters or speeches in
the latter part of 1880. and first of 1881,
refers to himself as a "Stalwart," what
did he mean? A. I suppose he meant
to class himself with the personal
supporters of General Grant.
Q. Did not these supiiorters, after
Garfield was nominated, become his
supporters? A. Naturally.
Q. Was it not a fact? A. Of course.
They were Republicans, and all Re
publicans supported Garfield.
Q. The Stalwarts worked for the
election of Garfield? A. Very heart
ily and very cordially.
Q. Yes. sir. I was one of them.
What was understood by the Half
Breeds in New York? A. They in
cluded all the Republicans in New
York that were not included among
the Stalwarts. Laughter.
(1. Of course, if vou did not know
you need not answer. A. If Senator
Conk I ing spoke, he must have spoken
about some particular thing.
Q. I do not want any long disquisi
tion. 1 simply ask you to state to tne
jury the substance of the trouble in
tbe Republican party.
Q. Then there were only two divis
ions there? A. Yes.
Q. To what branch did the person
annointed as Collector belonir? A.
He was classed, in the nomenclature
or JNew York, wtth tne hair breeds.
Q. To what branch did Senator
Conkliug belong? A. He was under
stood to be a "stalwart."
Mr. Scoville. That is all.
The Pennsylvania Campaign.
ITS LESSONS AS READ BY A NEW YORK
NEWSPAPER.
From the N. Y. Herald of 14th.
As the details of the recent cam
paigu in Pennsylvania are received
they show more and more the signif
icance of the recent independent move
ment in that State. A bold and
rather eccentric politician proclaims
himself an opponent of the ring, an
uounced his candidacy for a State
office, makes several speeches aud re
ceives from forty-five to fifty thousand
votes. The candidate himself appears
to have had very few elements o
personal popularity; to have been re
garded as rather a busy, noisy person,
anxious for notoriety, who injured
his canvass by a series of reckless
statements in reference to public men
which he could not confirm. There
is little doubt that if this independent
movement had been under a strong
leadership it would have given the
State to tbe Democrats. Thatsolargea
vote should have been cast for Wolfe
shows the existance of a sentiment
in Pennsylvania which Republican
managers must recognize or give up
their control over the State. The Re
publican party In Pennsylvania has
always been in a large majority. It
has been the banner State of the East.
The existance of this majority has
given the leaders audacity. They
have done things in public ways and
as political methods which bring
shame upon our institutions. The
Pardon of Kemble, the Philadelphia
ring, the street car monopolies and
hundreds of other matters mark the
record of a rule which must come to an
end. Unless tho whole Republican
system is changed in Pennsylvania the
good people of that great and patient
State will inllict upon the Republican
party an irretrievable defeat.
"Don't know half their Value."
"They cured me of Ague, Bilious
ness and Kidney Complaint, as recom
mended. I hud a half bottle left which
I used for my two little girls, who tbe
doctors and neighbors said could not
be cured. I would have lost both of
them one night If I had not given them
Hop Bitters. They did them so much
good I continued their use until they
were cured. That is why I say you
do not know half the value of Hop
Bitters, and do not recommend them
high enough." B,. Rochester, N. Y.

John Billingham, whose crime
nearest resembles that of Guiteau, was
tried in London iu May, 1812, for the
killing of Spencer Perceval, the Eng
lish Prime Minister. The defense
was the same as in Guiteau's case
that he was mad: but the prisoner,
who took an eager part in the proceed
ings, delivered a short, sensible speech,
complaining that the trial bad been
hurried on with indecent haste. The
jury found "That theprisoner was,
when he committed the crime, capable
of distinguishing between right and
wrong" aud John Billingham was
hanged.

always, forall big and little, mean and
gracious, contented and unhappy, Rep
ublican and Democratic, depraved and
vituoua, intelligent and obtuse. Thh
Sun's light is for mankind and
womankind of every sort; but Its genial
warmth is for the good, while It pour
hot discomfort on the blistering baoka
of the persistently wicked.
The Sun of 1808 was a newspaper of
a new kind. It discarded many of
the forms, and a multitude of the super
fluous words and phrases of anoient
journalism. It undertook to report la
a fresh, succinct, unconventional way
all the news of the world, omitting HO
event of human Interest, and commenr
ting upon affiiirs wtth the fearlessness
of absolute independence. The uc
cess of this experiment was the success
of The Sun. It effected a permanent
change in the style of American news
papers. Every important journal est
ablished in this country in the dozen
years past has been modelled after
The Sun. Every Important journal
already existing has been modified
and bettered by the force of JThe
Run's example.
The Hun of 1882 will be the same
outspoken, truthtelling, and Interest-
tiijr newspaper.
By a liberal use of the means which
an auunuaut prosperity atlords, wo
shall make it better than ever before
We shall print all the news, putUng
it Into readable shape, and measuring
its importance, not by the traditional
yardstick, but by its real interest to the
people. Distance from Printing House
Square is not the first consideration
with The Sun. Whenever anything
happens worth reporting we get the
particulars, whether it happens it
Brooklyn or in Bokhara.
In politics we have decided opinions;
and are accustomed to express them iu
language that can be understood. We
say wnat we tnluK ubout men ana
events. That habit Is the only secret
of The Sun's political course.
The Weekly Sun gathers Into
eight pages the best mutter of Miff
seven dully Issues. An Agricultural
Department of of unequalled merli, full
market reports, aud a liberal propor
tion of litarury, scientific, and domestic
intelligence complete The Weekly
Sun, and make it tho best newspaper
for the farmer's household that wad
ever printed.
