The Postmaster General, confronted by q
deficit at the end Of the fiscal year Of over
five millions, comes to the sensible conclu-
sion that the Department cannot make both
ends meet by carting enormous masses OF
mail matter all over the country for nothing,
or next to nothing. The sagacity of the
Postmaster General in finding this out IL
entitled to the most respectful admiration.
Those who have been fortunate enough to get
a peep at the sanctums of many business Off
ces, may have noticed there enormous heaps
of bundles, all marked Pub. DOc.," and oil
sent to men who do MT want them, and who,
in turn, send them TO the paper-mill. When
Government gives up the publishing business,
furnishing thousands gratuitously with books
they do not wish to read the deficit will be
diminislel.

Gen. Thomas has been to Alaska and what
does he find that we have for our seven mil
lions and more of sterling CONF Ice and
snow, of course, and few abandoned coal
Mines the care Of few hundreds Or thousands
of degraded Aleut and Koloshe Indians, most
of whom "seem to have no control over their
"passon for strong drink" and several mil
lions of seals which, to be worth anything,
must be protected by q garrison of from two
to three hundred men with a revenue steamer
at a cost that will probably far exceed all the
revenue that will be derived from them. AS
to ever settling the country, Gen. Thomas,
looking at it with the business eye Of soldier,
thinks that to be entirely out of the question
for the present at least. The well-stOcked gar
dens and tropical verdure of which we have
heard so much dwindle into few radishes,
potatoes and lettuce, with barley, oats and
wheat that will not ripen. Perhaps some ono
would like to take the elephant off our hands
we might be induced TO sell.

PROPOSED RELEAsE or THE GUYBOArS

PROPOSED RELEdSE or THE GUNBOATS
Of course the Spanish Minister was far too
shrcwd to allow his gunbOats TO go into litiga-
ton at n risk, when he could manage their
release by diplomacy. Washington advccs,
possibly in his interest, intimate that he has
handed a paper to the Secretary of State pledg
ing that the gunboats arc not TO be used for
war against Peru or any other nation with
which the United States are at peace. This
document is supposed TO be in humble imitation
Of one which the Peruvian Minister addressed
TO Washington on the occasion of the detention
of his monitors; and why should it not 7
Spain cannot do better than initiate Peru in
the affair of tho monitors, if she wishes to
prefer a request in the matter of tho gunboats.
On the other hand, if Peru wishes to strengthen
her claim against the gunbOats, she cannot do
better than follow the action of Spain in regard
to the monitors.
The case could not be more curious than it is
Won 10y the blandest assurances, the repre-
sentative of Peru is said TO have expressed his
satisfaction, and report goes so far rs to say
that in January all of the South American
Allies will meet to make peace with their
ancient enemy and the destroyer Of the island
whose belligerence they have recognized. 1t
would be unwise TO lean too strongly on such
hearsay as this; and we prefer the more timely
and probable statement that the position of the
Spanish Minister derives its plausibility from
the fact that his view Of tho case is similar TO
that of the Peruvian Minister two years ago
namely, that the war between Spain and Peru
ceased. with no intent 20 renew hostllities.
This, as we have shown was Minister Garca's
opinion though lis best logic could lot make
out that peace certainly did exist, and that
war as certainly did not.
Here we should have the retOrt courteous Of
the Peruvians What if they did plead for
peace, to all practical ntents, when the Span
ish Minister as indubitahly insisted upOn tho
continuance Of state Of war2 This was in
the Summer of 1868, when Minister GOhi char
acterized the assumption that n state of war
did not exist as entirely graruitous and new"
What can be the matterG Has the Spaniard
persuaded the Peruvian that Cuba cannot be
saved As it is, the positions Of the two
Powers are altogether reversed, and remind us
of nothing so much MS the story of the I'M
pregnabe fort. That stronghold was never
taken, because its defense was so managed
that one party could march ont while tho other
marched in. aud in this manner the garrison

Paraguay seem to be virtually ruled by a Bra
lillian pro-cOnsul, of whom o curious and APP
parently authentic story is told in our dis
patches; and the people of Uruguay and the
Argentine Republic seem to have we'll
grounded apprehension that their own turn
will not be long in coming. The recent action
of the Colombian Chamber of Representatives
in testfying to the people of Paraguay their
appreciation of "the indomitable valor with
(which they have defended their sovereignty.
"their independence, and their liberty" shows
that the voracity of Brazil is understood and
dreaded in other parts of the South American
continent also.

Comments by The Tribune.
There is n formidable, bitter fcud in the DEM
ocratic party of Brooklyn, whereof one faction
nominated John Cunningham for Sheriff, and
the other defeated him ut the polls. Then the
beaten faction undertook to count in their de-
.fcatcd candidate, and the other would not let
it be done. And the end is not yet.
But these frauds did not begin with mis-
counting. There is no such Democratic ma
iorty in Kings as was returned for Seymour
and Hoffman last year and for Nelson & Co.
this year. That majority was swelled by
frauds in tho voting, and still further by frauds

Austria and Prussia are mntterlnS war.
Hardly is it said that Austria possesses over
wbelming proofs of the completely OF Prussia
in the Dalmatian revolt, before the Prince OF
Montenegro protests against the occupation OF
his territory by Austrian troops, and is sus-
tanned by Prussia. Montenegro is the prov
incc from which Instruction has been fomented
not only in Dalmatia, but, as it is also charged,
in the Turkish Provinces of Herzegovina and
Albania, both of which have conspirators
in league with their Austro-ltalian neigh
bors of Cattaro. OF this the Russians
and Turks appear to be equally aware, the
Consul of the former at Ragusa being suspected
of dealings with the Montenegrin plotters, and
the latter having lately seized vessel of arms
and munitions judged to have been destined
for rebels in Herzegovina. Austria and Turkey
are thus made sharers Of q common misfor-
time. and are agreed as to the demand which
Austria has made upon the European Powers
TO be allowed to pass troops for Dalmatia
through Turkish territory in order to save q
Journey by sea. Strange though 1t be, there Is
reason to suspect that Prussia and Russia
are of one mind in the Dalmatian affair,
else we cannot account for the supposed new
exhibition of PrusSian audacty. Notwithstand-
ing the stated failure of the extradition treaty
between the two Powers, and the anti-Prusslan
sentiment of st. Petersburg, it IS not difficult
TO conceive of their union IN aggression with
n view to territorial gain. Doubts may recur,
however, whether the movement OF Prussia
has been as marked as the fears OF the Aus
trian Cabinet.

The French treaty of commerce with En-

terms be brought to an end next February.
The refusal of England to accept certain modi-

growing objection to the treaty IN certain
quarters of France point to that end.

What we have more than once maintained
with respect to the reconstruction OF the
Mississippi is made especially clear in report
odopted by the Louisville Convention. This
body, through their Committee, have made 1t
certain that by private enterprise alone can
tbe levees | Q satisfactorily rebuilt; and that,
while the General Government should make
SURVEYS and plans for the work, joint stock
company can do it more cheaply than any State.
Government help is not undesirable, IN view Oh
what has been done for other undertakings,
but Government assumption OF the enterprise
is held TO involve wasteful blunder; to which
we assent No better plan for the accomplish
ment within reasonable time. OF LeVee
system seems TO be offered than this OF the
Convention, namely-a company chartered 1or
n term of years, with the right to pay them
selves from the fair taxation of such alluVial
lands and crops as derive value and perhaps
their existence from the levees. Inc
work should be maintained like first
class railroad, and should collect Its
dues as railroad collects It's 1relghts'
We shall not quarrel about the details Oh the
work if only the main features OF the plan
give us a certain promise Of its speedy con-
summation. There are seven million acres OIL
some of the best arabic lands in the world to
be reclaimed, which, at a production of bale
to the acre, with $50 per bale, would yield
1920, 600 OOO-this, too, with special bearing
upon the fact that our two millions and half
bales of cotton crop, though One-half the value
of all our exports, fall short of our own ca
pacity, and by a million bales or so of that
e A. al Of ba world
we should supply. Not less than S5OOOO,OOO
would be invested in the plan proposed, and
Gov. Hebert reports an assurance of S5OO,Ooo-
600 from Europe. This we prefer to accept at
what it is worth, that is to say, with very
large discount; but it certainly appears that
neither money nor an immense field for its use
is wanting as a condition to the Mississippi
project.

While we wish we'll to the English people, As

mercial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of their present ruling,
guiding classes through the conveyance to
