MIR, CRR.WRI,I.,, REPORT,

We surrender large portion Of our space
this morning to m extended synopsis Of the
annual report Of the Postmaster General,
which will be found Of special interest, and
well worth an attentive porusal. There Is no
Department OF the Government that comes
closer to the people than that over which Mr..
Creswcll so ably prcsides. During the last
four years he has brought to Its management
the highest order of executive ability, and
introduced moro substantial and lasting re-
forms than any one Of his predecessors.
The statistical matter in the document here
with presented to our readers tells It's own
story. His recommendation In regard TO
the postal bank repositories and the tele-
graph, attracting as they now do large
share Of public attention, will command the
consideration Of every one who takes the least
interest In the Administration and well-bcing
Of the Government. The suggestions he has
made he advocates with q rare ability,
aud with seemingly unanswcrable arguments.
Some Of his recommendations and PROPOSE
tlons may be In advance Of his time, but 1t
cannot be denied that he Is tho pioneer In
this country Of great reforms which we are
sangulne enough to believe he will ulti-
mately see adopted.

rus REPUBLICANS CUBAN NEWS.

From the beginning Of tho troubles between
the United States and Spain and Cuba, tho
RErumicAS has distanccd all its cotempo-
rarics In tho fullncss, the accuracy, aud the
quality Of Its news. From day 10 day we
have given the phases Of the situation as they
wcrc presented In the dispatches received by
the highest officers Of the Government, and
this morning add another TO our many
triumphs In this respect. Yesterday morn
ing the REPUBLICAN was the only paper In
tho country to give the frst news Of tho
threats Of the Spanish mob toward our min
lister at Madrid, with the exception Of one or
two Western Journals, TO whose active corre-
spondcnts In this city the information was
furnished by us. The Secretary OF State con-
frmcd Its truth last evening In our bright
cotemporary, the Star.
Il is not the custom OF the REPUBLICAN 10
boast Of Its enterprise and energy In furnish
ing Its readers (who are more numerous than
those Of any other morning paper In the
clty) with the latest news, but the tremendous
victories that we have won during the last
week justify this reference 10 our success In
printing the best paper published At the ma
tionM capital. In a few days the increased
mechanical and other facilities which will be
ut our disposal will enable US TO achieve still
greater triumphs, and present In every re
