age of thirty-6ve wears, after a ca
reer OF creditable service IN the

some of the most eminent men who

As amended aud reported by the
Senate committee, the Post Office
Appropriation bill which had passed
the House provides that the redu c.
ton OF letter postage from three
cents to two shall take effect the Let
OF July. 1888, ipsi cad OF the lst Of
January, 1884. There are two good
arguments for this change. One IA
that the former date ia the beginning
OF fiscal year, and the other is that
since the reduction will be a great
public benefit, the sooner il il con-
ferred the better. The receipts o.
the Poet Office Department for the
last fiscal year show surplus OF
from one to two millions over The ex
pendituies. With Star route thisv-
ing checked these excuses OF receipts
would grow much greater. 1t isnow
over thirty years since any such re-
latlve condition oil the incomes and
outgoes of the department has been
known, and the past year WAS the
first since 1865 that no deficiency
appropriation was asked for. The
reduction of letter postage to two
cents should be effected at the ear
liest possible date; and With the
steady growth ofPost Office receipts
it will not be many years before the
rate can be brought down to one
cent.
