about it, they might extend the facilities for exchange still further. Stamps cace sold are now refused when offered n payment for other stamps, and the result is sometimes no liitle inconvenience io the public. If a tradesman, for instance, is unfortunate enough to receive aUO-cent stamp in payment of "a little bill" ordered by mail, common sense would dictate the issue of forty-five 2-cent stamps for it, on its presentation at the Post Office. It can hardly be possible that any serious loss to the revenue would attend such exchanges.

aud it is time to e considering what course to percue, as well as to be looking about for candidates
Richard Smith the well known editor of the Cincinnati Gazette, has been to W ashington and to New York, talking polities and with politicians. In a review of tne result concerning Presidential candidates, is the following: "Postmaster General Gresham is widely spoken of. He is the stronger man in Arthur's Cabinet, is the master of his Department, and is as pure as he is able. He was a gallant soldier, ind is full of bullet holes Hut there is far more of him
than his military record, and his wounds. He is admitted to be, in point of capacity and personal character, one of the foremost men of the country. He is both negatively aud positively strong, and if the Ind
iana Republicans should unite upon him and rally to his standard in the
people pr mouuees to be rigut. Ft r instance, is J 870 he was candidate for Governor of Indiana and was assured that he could be elected if he would only agree to support the Greenback heresy. He refused to do so, and "Blue .leans" Williams defeated him He has his vindication, for his party unanimously sent him to the Senate, and in that case at least, the politicians recognized sterling character and ability by choosing him from out all the oiher men in his -tate. 5 e is a
good lawyer, was a gallant soldier, and has the confidence of every one. It is always stfe to put him down to do the right thing at the right time, not because it is policy, but because it is a part of the man's fiber. The poii.;y men fail at critical times. Ben . -arrison never did.'' 'Emerson"is not a politic' an, n t even a Republican. '. t is gratifying to know tuat Indiana has in Senate one man, at least, who so emphatically recommends himself to the fair, independent christian sentiment of the eountiy. The jsi.efhojr recalls with pleasures the fact that it
was the first paper in Indiana which openly advocated Gen. Harrison's el action to the 1 enate, tho1 as we then said, his preeminent fitness naturally turned all men's attention toward him.

Thomas U. Brown ia perhaps the ablest representative Indiana has in the present oagress. He is now
serving his fourth term from the
Richmond district, where from among, so many Republicans, it is in citaelf, an honor to be a chosen leader an manv times in n('ssion. It
oan be as truley said o Mr. iirowne A,of any man. that he has at all times notjcniy had the interest of Ms constituatils at heart but the well fare of the whole people, and in examination of his record during he years that he has been in service ill siot show an action for his ends to regret.

Joion the leading religious periodical of the country, in speaking of Judge Gresham's attempt to prevent the free use of the mails by the nefarious lottery business wrote to his paper a few weeks ago: "Judge Gresham has done tlfe right and manly thing at the proper time, but the odds are aain t him I fear. By the way, in all our public life we have not a better nor abler officer than this same t oat master General. He ought to be nominated for Pre ident next year; bn the chances are now that Mr. Authur will cary off that prize." The same correspondent, "Emerson,"' writes to his paper of last week: "There are many crooked thiugs going on in Washington, but it does not do to forget that in the mai n we have a pretty wholesome government. So with our public men th Keiiers, Kelloggs, Belkuaps, Ingersoils, ' abors, Butlers a d that like make a great noise, and are deservedly blistered, but a great number are of such mould as do credit to national politics. Men like Hoar, Harrison, Lyman, of Massachusetts, Gresham, Edmonds, Bayard Gibson, Robinson, stand for them. Of thm all, Hen Harrison is one of the best. It is but two years sinci he entered the Senate, without any previous ongressionol experience. In that time he has made gno gie.it display, but now is reckoned one of the stanchest and ablest men in that body The base of his success is in a character that never swerves from what the mature judgement of the

The heading " oatereuce Daily News," found on a few of the supplements of this issue, is accounted for by a mistake in ordering extra paper. In another part of this issue will be found the annual tax notes, for 1883, giving the per cent, on the one humdred dollars for different purposes.
