Steps have been taken toward the estab­ lishment of post offices at sea. The free ^ellverysystem has been established in many small towns and country places. Lottery business has been excluded from 'the mails. The efficiency of the^ railway postal service has been greatly improved. New postal facilities have been provided in many places, more than 16,500,000 miles having been added to the service in the establishment of new routes find the expediting of old ones. More new post- offices have been established than in any former year, The most wonderful thing of all is that all these great improvements have been made without a cent of additional cost. The gross revenue for the past year ex­ ceeded that of the preceding year by $5,000,000, and the additional expendi­ tures did not keep up with the additional receipts. This Ib a report of which the Pout- master General has a right to be proud. The postal service has never been so thorough, so extensive and efficient as it is now. We congratulate Gen. Wana- tnaker on his success. But our enterprising Postmaster General in not satisfied with past success noT present efficiency. He looks forward to still greater improvements. A large part of his report is taken up with his scheme for a limited postal telegraph. His idea is to establish a post and telegraph service as a part of the Postoffice Depart­ ment or as a separate bureau^ postal telegrams to be received at, postoffices, transmitted by wire, and delivered by carriers. Mr. Wanamaker does not con­ template the purchase or errection ol telegraph lines by the Government, but asks authority to make suitable con­ tracts with existing companies for the handling of postal telegrams. In con­ nection with the service, he would have established a telegraphic money order system for amounts not to exceed $100. oultural Board. gof the McIIenry Board, held at k on iHpjjay, Dec. 1st., the nmd<9Mi following report, which will show to th* people just how much the society reteeifred and expended at the last Fair: , - i TRASL BER'K JtEPOIt*. ~ V / To the Prmi(tent% Officers ami ifetwheihsi of the McHenry County Agricultural Boani--Gentlemen: Your TreHBorfr would Wtf l«*ave to sub­ mit the following report, showing the receipts and expenditures of }>in office for the pa*t year, and f hope you will give it a. caw fni examination, and approve, if found correct- • . , bkceipts: '• > i>eos,iam.

WorM, (Dem.). si§y |®~ Last week's McHenry Plaixdealeb I contained quite a lengthy expose of the doings of the "gang" in therecentelection who it seems were in the saddle and on t >p of the heap. It is no credit to the ^Republiea»S of McHenry County that Pleach a condition of things was made } possible, and if they permit the continu­ ance or repetition of the disgraceful pro­ ceedings two years hence, it will be good ' cause for the rank and file of the party to bolt the "gang" and conduct the affairs of the party in an honorable, ! ; imputable manner. "The^ime when men I; carry high band and crack the whip t <' over the heads of voters lias gone by," is an axiom of itself, with a lesson that all wellwishers of the party will do well to heed and remember, if party success is ?7 - A; dHsirrd, or can be desired. --Marengo Republican . |9* The vigorous enunciation of Repub- \M, lican principles in every paragraph of the St" President's message does honor to him and strengthens the good cause. It was I;. ̂ apprehended that the "tidal wave" might vty" modify the tenor of his recommendations to Congress. Its ringing tone and con­ tinued stoutness of adhesion to the pro- gressive, aggressive policy of the 51st *L > ' Congress and the Republican party show j K . him undisturbed by November's accident and yet confident in the intelligence of the American people. The maintenance p V of principle by their chief representative 'tl?!". In office must inspire Republicans every Where with renewed confidence and *JPT " courage. Refusal to lower the Republi- can standard or retreat an inch for ex- M>,[ /; pediency's sake will add greatly to our % ! party's merit and strength in the coming ^0%^- eonteets. The rank and file of our party •; demand courage in their leaders. ' x?" ft ;;V Mi:. » • 'fi fST The president in his message shows la a clear, plain light the position of the opponents of the Force bill, and there is no getting around it either. He says "It is said that this legislation will revive race animosities, and some have even suggested that when the peaceful meth­ ods of fraud are made impossible they -may be supplemented by intimidation and violence. If the proposed law gives to any qualified elector, by a hair's weight, more than bis equal influence, or detracts •by bo much from any other qualified elec­ tor, it is fatally impeached. But it the law is equal and the animosities it iB to evoke grow out of the fact that tome electors have been accustomed to exercise the franchise for others as well as for jbhemselves, then these animosities ought Hot to be confessed without shame and cannot be given any weight in the dis­ cussion without dishonor." > 18TEL.LIGE.NT people, who are' familiar irith the respective advantages which are offered by the several competing railroad lines between Chicago, St. Louis and JyansasCity, and who desire to travel with the utmost speed, safety apd com fort, always take the popular and relia­ ble Chicago & Alton Railroad between these point*, and passengers going to or coining from the South, via St. Louis, or whoa going to or coming from the West, via Kansas City, should insist upon hav­ ing tickets that read over the Chicago & iJaTax. If the Democratic theory that the "tar­ iff is a tax" is correct, why is not thepricf of goods upon which duties are levied in­ creased in value to the full extent of the tariff. If the tariff is a tax, why is it that plate glass, with a duty of about 58 per cent, can be bought for nearly one-third less now than in 1860? If the tariff is a tax, why is it that salt is selling at 75 cents a barrel at the works, with a duty of 21 cents per hun­ dred, when in 1860 it cost $2 per battel and no duty? If the Tariff is a tax, why are steel rails selling at from $28.50 to $32 per ton, with a tariff duty of $17 per ton, when they cost from $140 to $160 per ton be­ fore the duty was levied ? If the tariff to a tax, why is it that more pottery can be bought now for $2.50 with a duty of 55 per cent than could formerly be bought with $4? If the tariff is a tax, why is it that nails and pig-iron are nearly one-half cheaper now than before a tariff was levied upon them? If the tariff is a tax, why Is it that saws, which were not made m this coon- try before a duty was imposed, are now chea)»er than they are in Europe? A million dollars' worth are exported to Europe annually.! If the tariff is a tax, why has spool cotton thread been reduced in price from 85 cents a dozen before the doty was- added to 55 6ents under a duty of 15 cents? If the tariff is a tax, why are cotton prints of American manufacture selling at 5 cents a yard, when the tariff on those of English, is 5 cents? If the tariff is a tax, should not ten cents a yard be charged for American calicoes instead of five? Prior to the war, in the good old Democratic days--and in the period of low tariff or no tariff--this same calico retailed at ten and 12 cents. \ ...... The Columbia Cycle Calendar. By far the most valuable business cal­ endar for 181)1, and entirely unique in denign, is the Columbia Cycle Calendar and Stand, issued b.v the Pope Mfg. Co., of Boston, Muss. The Calendar in in the form of a pad containing J}(iG leaves, each x 2%, each leaf contniniug blank for memoranda, and as the leavee are only fastened at t><e upper end, any leaf can be exposed, tio stub bfing left when the leaven are torn off. The pad rests upon a stand, containing pen rack and pencil holder, and made of stained wood, mounted with raised letters in brass,thus forming an ornampntal paper weight. The day of the week and the day of the year, together with the number of the days to come are given, and each slip bears a short, paragraph pertaining to eyeliner and kindred subjects. Thwe par­ agraphs have been carefnlly collated from leading publications and prominent writers, the larger number having be»u specially written for this purpose. Al­ though this is the sixth issue of the Cal­ endar, all the matter is fresh and new, comprising notable events in cycling, opinions of physicians and clergymen, liinta about road making, and upweeoua other topics.
