Postal cards are handled with as much care and promptness in the matter of dispatch and delivery as though they were letters, even though the matter thereon is printed. Don’t forget that all parcels deposited for mailing must be so wrapped that they can be examined without destroying the wrapper, otherwise letter rates of postage are charged. There are thousands of little articles now sent by express which can be more safely, quickly, and carefully carried by mail if registered. ! he fee is only ten cents in addition to the postage.

hon. Joseph e. McDonald. An Elegant Tribute to His .Worth as a Statesman and a Patriot. [Shelt>\ ville Daily Democrat.] The Democratic editors of Indiana held tneir annual convention at Indianapolis last week. The meeting was a large one and nearly all of the leading Democratic papers of the State were represented While in session the editor* saw propefHo place on record an expression of their high, appreciation of the distinguished services o:' Ton. Joseph E. McDonald, as a legislator, a true Democrat and a gentle- j man whose public and private life is blameless. Hon. Daviess W. Hanna offered a resolution eulogistic in its character, yet not overdrawn, concerning Mr. McDonald* and urging his appointment to- a place in President Cleveland’s Cabinet, it was noticeable that a unanimity of sentiment prevailed 1 -! throughout the meeting in favor of its adoption.

A vote was taken, which resulted in forty odd Democratic editors standing up in their places and heartily voting in favor of the resolution. This expression of kind feeling toward Mr. McDonald is but a reflex of the general sentiment prevailing everywhere among the Democrats of ndiana in favor of his recognition by the incoming administration. The Democratic editors of this State, when they ex press their opinion with so 1 much warmth and agreement, mean something and are entitled to be heard. No class ol men are more earnest m their advocacy of Democratic principles or do as much to achieve party success than the gentlemen who preside over the press, and the man who receives the compliment of theii approval must be worthy and entitled to this distinction The Democratic editors of nd iana have known Hon. Joseph E. McDonald ever since nr commenced his public career They have seen him strug ling in the obscure paths oi private life almost unknown battling for advancement ainl promotion. They have wit nessed his success and achieve mente. They have seen bin holding up the banner of flu ; Democracy during the excii ing and despondent days o: civil war. They have always known just where 1o find him They have reposed in him, am their confidence has nevei been betrayed. They hav< looked to him for counsel, ans have received in return hit best judgment, which nevei failed them in the hour of ex tremity. They have seen bin tested on the bench and in tin halls of legislation, and al I ways found him a true, able j conscientious, conservative j high minded, far seeing am j patriotic gentleman. Sue! | being the case it was quite rial j ural for the Democratic Editc rial Association to expresi | continuation of their confi i deuce in him.
