One Result of the Change.

During Republican administration the Railway Mail Service reached the -highest point of efficiency ever known in this country, surpassing, in the chief elements that distinguished it, the transactions of any private business establishment. The Democrats proposed among other things to reform that department of the Government if given a chance. Last yenr they had all the chance they wanted. Nearly all the Republicans officials had been removed, and the service was entirely in their own hands; and they had had enough experience to be able to show what they could do as reformers. Here is the result: Errors in the Kailway Mail Service in 1886.... 2,120,147 Errors average for five years,llßl-5, in Railway Mail Service 058,68 That is a blooming record for reformers to make —more than twice as many errors during last year as were made on an average during the five years of Republican administration preceding. The missent mail matter, the letters that were destroyed in delivery, the letters that never were delivered, ail figure in the two million errors of last year. That is one pf the beautiful showings of a Democratic administration. —lowa State Register.
