GENERAL POST OFFICE,

The report of the Post Master General, Showing
the condition and business of the Department dur
ing the past year, contains several important sug
scSons, some of which appear extremely plausible
aud well sustained. Among these it Is recommend
ed that Congress do away with the restrictions it
regard to the transmission of newspapers out of tht
mail on mail routes that the maximum rate o
compensation for all steamboat railroad, and coacl
service be limited by law that the postage or
newspapers and other printed matter be equalized
with an advance ofone hundred per cent that the
tariff of letter postage be revised with reduction
of twenty-five per cent that all printed matter be
taxed by by weight and that the number of papers
allowed to publishers, free Of postage, be limited
The recommendation of an entire abolition of the
iranklng privilege, as an exclusive personal right
with the exception of the Executive and the heads
OF departments, Is liable to much objection. The
channel of communication between members OF
Congress and their constituents, should be free
fom obstruction. The restraint which the cost OF
postage would impose would be serious griev-
ancc to both, if it would not entirely cut otthe III
tercourso between them. The more advisable
course to be pursued, in our estimation, would be
10 leave the ranking privilege us it is, and if it
be really as expensive as represented, let the
States be charged with the full value of its exercise
by the members of their respective Legislatures.
The report states that the extent of the pos, route
in the United States covered by mail service, on
the 3Oth June last, near can be ascertained,
was 1875, 73D miles The annual transportation on
these routcs at the rate existing on the 3Oth day of
June last, was about 30, $40 ZIG miles.
The annual cos, of transportation, estimated at
the rate of pay existing at the close of the year,
was ;.3,2D6,S $40, viz.
The number Of contractors in the service during
the last year was about 2,l0O. The number who
had been fined, or had deductions made from their
pay for deIinquencics in the performance Of their
engagements, is 62S. The fines and deductions
during the year, exclusive Of the rcmissions amount
to $50, GS5,G0.
The number of Post Offices is 1868. There
have been, during the year, 1921 postmOstcrs ap-
pointed, of whom $50 were for the new Offices.
The revenue Of the Department, for the year
ending June 80, 1910, as appears from the settle
mcnts of The accounts Of po,tmasters in the Audi
tors Office, was 81 $50 ,2G6 SIS, and the capcndi-
