POSTAL TELEGRAPH SYSTEM.
Wilmington ie to be congratulated
upon tho speedy introduction of the
Postal Telegraph Company's service
and the community is under great ob
ligations to the local Board of Trade,
to whose solicilationa it is due that the
office will be opened here. The
new
Postal Telegraph Company is not en
gaged in any visionary improvement*
and extensions but is a substan
tial and -wisely arranged inetitution,
which unlike the Baltimore and Ohio
has come here to stay. It« presence
will guarantee cheaper telegraphic
facilities between this city and the
principal cities of the world than has
been the case hero since tho absorption
of the Baltimore and Ohio line by the
Western Union, and it is not probable
that the latter will swallow the new
comer as it did ils predecessor.
It is only fair however to say in this
connection that better service than
Wilmington has been getting need not
be expected. It is still remembered
that when the Baltimore and Ohio sys
tem was being introduced how every
body anticipated ''a cheaper and
a better service." Wo got a
cheaper but hardly a better ser
vice. The Western Union service has
always been good, excepting as to cer
tain details, such as the absence of an
operator during a portion of the night.
Of course this was a defect in its ar
rangements here for which the com
pany, and not the local management
was responsible. Probably the pres
ence of the new company will give
Wilmington an all-night service
again.
Congress is going to enforce the
eight-hour-law in respect to letter
carriers. This is right, although it is
to be done from a wrong motive. The
letter carriers of Wilmington are com
pelled to worlç too msuy hours. Some
of them go to work at 4 o'clock in the
morning and at 4 o'clock in the after
noon they are still at it, with the
incidental duty perhaps of making an
evening collection. In this kind of
weather letter carrying in Wilming
ton is tho hardest sort of
physical labor. It is harder
work here than in the larger cities, for
there conveyances carry the carriers
to the more distant parts, while here
the carriers have to walk excepting to
the few parts reached by the street
railways. We would rather see the
law regulating this matter introduce a
rigid eight-hour system with double
the present force of carriers than have
the postage reduced from two to one
cent a letter. The postage is cheap
enough, while our carriers are over
worked.
a
The dust and heat of yesterday
afternoon was gently allayed by the
light rain which fell about 5 o'clock.
The dust had become more unbear
able than the heat and fortunately the
rain had a more lasting effect on it
than on the latter, for the heat is
almcet as great to-day. The many un
paved streets and the absence of all
public attempts to sprinkle them witli
water make Wilmington almost a* hazy
with dust as a country village. It goes
without saying that Wilmington has
the vilest streets, both summer and
winter and in fair weather snl foul
of any city in the North.

The grand jury of Philadelphia
lately used the following language in
a report: "In the performance of our
duty, we have been deeply impressed
with the fact that four fifths, if not
nine-tenths, of the 6,000 paupers and

The grand jury of New York recently
made a long presentment to the court.
They comment unfavorably on the en

say that nearly all ths cases of homi

Judge Johnson of California,in pass

Washington, June 14. —Tho conven
tion which moots at Chicago next week
will ba one of tho greatest in our history.
Chicago is a city of conventions. It was
here that Blaiue and Cleveland wore nom
inated in 1884. Hero was held the con
vention that nominated McClellan in 1864,
and here will be hold the majority
conventions of tho future. 8
nearest tho center of population, Chicago
can accommodate a crowd better than any
other dtyin the United States. The bracing
broezes of Lake Michigan fan tho hot
brows of the politicians, and, as conven
tions aro always hold in summer, the
weather is more pleasant there t hau at St.

It is impossible to conceive tho number
of animals slaughtered every year at Chi
cago. There were enough hogs killed iu
1885 to have given one-half of a hog to
each family in tho United States, ami the
calves killed numbered 58,000. Thera
were during this year over 1,000,000 live
hogs shipped out from the city, and the
pounds of lard, wool and hides ran high
into the millions. The stool: yards of the
city cover an area which would make a
number of good sized farms. Tho Union
stock yards comprise 350 acres of ground,
and there are twenty miles of streets,
twenty miles of water troughs, and fifty
miles of feeding troughs lit them, it
takes five artesian wells to supply them
with water, and the stock yards them
selves cost, all told, #4.000,000.
Near these stock yards are the meat
packing establishments, and if the con
venriou visitors can stand tho smell they
will find them worth a visit. These estab
lishments are factories whose raw ma
terial is live stock. They take up a cow
lieg and grind it out into a hundred
different articles. Every port of the ani
mal is used fur something, and tho hair
and the hoofs are turned Into manufac
tured articles. The work is done very
quickly, and it* extent may be appreciated
when it Is remembered that Armour & Co.
have a single establishment which com
prises seventy acre* ot flooring and In
which 8.500 men are employed. Phil
Armour has made his fortune out of meat

their drives will compare with those of
any city in Europe. These boulevards run

Central boulevard is tho same width, and

elms, ujakes you think of the ride from
tho Hague to the seashore in Holland, and
which has a Rotten Row for equestrians

just below the convention hall, along the
banks of the lake, Is the Michigan Avenue
boulevard, upon which the country dele

1100 feet from curb to curb. It Is tho

Chicago has some of the best horse flesh
of tho United States.
