We are glad to see that the Postmaster-General is said
to be again in official harness, and that as yet at least the rumour of his resignation has not been verified. Mr. Mon.sell has made a good Postmaster-General. He has given us the halfpenny stamp, ,ff.le new and very convenient parcel post, a great extension of the ...ioney-order system, and some diminished rates of postage with foreign countries. And nothing could be more unfair, as all the world has admitted, than to throw upon him any of the respon- sibility for Mr. Lowe's and Mr. Scudamore's misunderstand- ings, out of the secret of which he was so systematically and irregularly kept. If he would only investigate and rectify the extraordinary negligence which seems to beset Saturday's news- paper nest, especiallyin London,—of which every week we hear the bitterest complaints,—we do not believe that we could have a better Postmaster-General than Mr. Monsell.
