THE PosrorFICE REPORT.

There is no official report published by
our government that is of greater popular
interest thar that of the Postmaster G neral,
and his report made TO the present session of
Congress is of unusual interest. 1t begins
with a statement that is a striking vindica-
ton of the cheap postage system; "For the
first time in thirty-one years, the postal
service is not 3 burden upon the treasury"
it pays its own expenses, yet there are AZ, 231
postoffices, against A ,512 in 1881, and there
---v-ee,see persons engaged IN the depart
ment, against 61,975 in 1881. The report
shows that the pay of postmasters is made
on a very irregular plan, and reforms and
simpli6cations are recommended. One of
the recommendation is worth specifying
clerks should be selected more with reference
10 what they can do behind the cases, and
less for what they have done at the hastings.
Transportation of mail m after by rail-
way has been much extended, and
important connections made with both
California and Mexico. 1t is shown that
much of the efficiency and economy which
so greatly distinguishes our postofice system
above most other departments is owing 10
those employed being retained during good
behavior. They become proficient and dis
charge their duties well-a great fact in IA
vor of ciyil-service reform. 1t is recon-
mended that Congress reduce the payment
for meney orders, and authorize the issuance
of postal orders for amounts under SIS, 8
thing public convenience much requires
The report also recommends the abolition of
postage on second-class matter. Postage on
some newspapers is charged and not on others;
all should be charged alike. 1t is also recon-
mended that letter stamps be done away
with and stamped envelopes substituted.
Where 500 or more are ordered, the sender's
address win be printed upon them, insuring
the return of undelivered letters. The post
office, says the report, costs $50 1000 a
year; it should do whatever it can do well /;
what can be done elsewhere can be
done here; yet the postal service in
other countries does many things not yet at
tempted in this country. In Belgium, Swift
erland, France, and Germany the postof6ce

RAILROAD HOT COAL.

The railroads of Tennessee deserve credit
for one good action, at least. Other STATS
had railroad commissions that were working
well and proving great aids TO commerce;
Tennessee sat still "and let things slide" To
the railroads belong the credit of rousing the
supiHe, and the apathetic and Indifferent they
have sprung up to rapid" The reads
we're aware that if terrapin will not move
otherwise, it is good thing to put hot
coal on his back. The railways keep several
hot Goals Constantly on hand" genuine cal
oric, sure to burn. Take discrimination
coal, now, and drop it smartly on a townful
of sleepy incapables, and the effect is amsz-
ing. Being experienced in the business and
well practiced, the roads are doing their job
in Tennessee we'll. The sleeping are awak-
ened, the indolent moved to action, and pas
sive helplessness TO vigorous resist
auce, and the silent are becom-
ing eloquent, If we may judge by
by some sharp bowls from stout lungs that
are reaching our ear. At the last legisla-
tive session some effort was made from Mem
phis-not enough, however, or the bill that
was got through one house would have been
passed by both and the governors signature
attached. The rest of the State we never
heard from in e. matter, but the State is
now becoming sTa1e of the necessity of ac-
lion, thanks to the very moving properties
that lie In railway hot coal, applied as only
railways can apply 1t. Knoxville has had
little of this stimulus applied, and it brings
out, with roar OF torment, the assertion
that discrimination is outrageous there,
shutting The merchants out of the western
North Carolina trade. There is a seven
miles of distance that is charged more than
alf as much by one road than another
charges for 100 miles; freight rates from
eastern cities to Knoxville are fifty per cent.
higher than rates from the same point,
through Knoxville, to points 200 miles fur
ther south; freight charges on wheat from
Knoxville TO Richmond are thirty cents hun
dred; from Nashville TO Richmond, through
Knoxville, twenty cents, though the differ
ence is $50 miles further, so that wheat is
lying unshipped in East Tennessee which
cannot be shipped except at a loss. These
are the Goals that burn and will give Ten

road stimulation.

MILK TARIFF RE

The protectionists, finding to their regret
that the country is aroused to the injustice
of one part of the people being compelled TO
pay tribute to another, are now striving with
all their might to have the amount to which
the tariff shall be cut down reduced to the
smallest degree possible. With this idea
they are lavish in their praises of the recon-
mend atious of the Tariff Commission, which
is sure sign that those recommendations
are not what the people require. 1t is for
the people, not those working in the inter-
ests of the mouopolists, whether tariff COM
missioners or Others 10 decide what reduc.
lions are necessary for the welfare of the
country at large. The commissioners have
put too few articles upon the free list, it can
be materially expanded to the advantage Of
the public, as in The way of shipbuilding
material anu cotton-spinning machinery,
for instance. The commissioners have
made show of reductions that
reduce nothing, such as the duties on spices.
The country does not produce mace and nut
megs, and the duty thereupou taxes luxuries
but protects nobody. Raw material used in
manufactures should pay no protective inn
post; the salt that cures our bacon should
not be made a monopoly; but it is 60, except
TO the fishermen, who are mostly New Eu-
glanders. The copper monopoly is kept up
on the commissioners system, and many
other monopolies are supported. Congress
may adopt such half measures il it choose;
the more of them that are retained the ear
lier new and sweeping reform will clear
the country of the odious monopoly system.

KENTUCKY'S EVANGELIST
Rings the Changes In New York ON the

city, George o. Barnes, "th Mountain Evan

his two daughters, Marie and Georgia, both

lady of twenty-five, plays the organ and
leads the singing, in which the evangelist
and his younger daughter join. "God is

that evening, and upon this theme he "rang
the changes" necessarily, and with especial
vigor upon the words "nothing else" SIT L

York, he asserted, as he brought his hands
together with a resoundiDg slap, "that God

impostor, and drive me out of New York

response to inquiries after the service. "Just
