POSTMASTER GENERALS REPORT

THE report of Postmaster General
Gresham states that the revenues OF
the department for the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1855. amounted to
S45,j08,692. The disbursements for
the year, not including credits TO the
Pacific railroads, and including S466,
243 paid on account of liabilities for
previous years, amounted to S43, ,2S2,
944 The receipts exceeded those for
the previous year by S3.632, ,2S2, OF
Sc per cent, being a ratio OF increase
of 3 per cent. less than the average
rate of increase. for the three preced-
ing years. This, the postmaster gen
eral says, may be accounted FOR in
part, if not wholly, 10y th2 fac: that
the public were induced 10 limit their
purchases of three-cent postage
stamps and stamped envelopes in an,
ticipation of the change OF letter post
age to two cents, fixed to take effect
on the 1st Of October last.
The receipts for the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1885, are estimated al
S47,104978.31, and the expenditures
at S5O.O62, 1850. leaving a deficiency
to be supplied out of the general
treasury OF s2,95S,11L29.

DECLINE or THE AMERICAN SAILOR.

Some statistics lately furnished
from Washington serve 30 show what
was already known from general OBJ
servation, that the American sailor, so
prominent OF old in history and IN
fiction. Is now almost extinct. There
are not many American ships, 70 be
sure. but even upon these not one in
five OF the seaman Is American born
Nearly the same thing is true of the
navy as of American merchant ma
rine, and If plainly is not the decline
of American shipping alone that is
driving our countrymen from the sea.
The reason of all this is not far to
seek. The decline of American ship
ping has something TO do with it, of
course. There are fewer opportuni-
ties and fewer inducements to a sea-
faring life than in the days when the
skipper had an interest in his ship
and the cabin-boy looked forward 10
being a skipper. But even the idea
of commanding a vessel has not the
same attraction to an American youth
as it had a generation or two back.
Then the sea was the one alternative
to the farm. He turned from the dull
drudgery of the field and barn-yard
to the supposed romance of a sailors
life, which held out an alluring prom
ise that was sufficient to man our
ships with hardy American sailors.
But times and the whole current
OF American life have changed. The
boy is no longer restricted to this
one choice, but finds multitude of
more tempting pursuits open to him,
in which he can make money faster
and at less hazard than upon the sea,
II with less romance. When he breaks
away from the farm il is not to go to
sea, but to go to town, and instead of
looking forward TO the command of
ship he aspires to be superintendent
of factory or partner in dry goods
house. In the New England fishing
towns. for example, where formerly
al the young men went 10 sea as 4
matter of course. they now go into
the mills. and the fishing crews are
made up of foreigners. At other New
England ports, like Salem, the docks
are deserted, but immense shoe facto-
ries give employment 20 the children
of the old sailors.
It is not that the modern American
youth is less daring or less ambitious
than his fathers, hut that his circum-
stances are different and his ambition.
therefore. takes a different direction.
Life Is less simple than it was and
the desires OF youth less readily salts
fed Perhaps the old way was bet
ter; certainly it was different: but
this is not to be complained Of. The
American sailor that we read about
is as much thing OF The past as The
clipper ship whose masts he climbed
He remains a picturesque figure in
history and is still more a pictur-
esque figure in romance. but that is

A FUTILE IDEA.

There is no boom in Mr. Biaine's
letter proposing that the revenue
from whiskey received 10y the general
government be distributed among the
states. The proposition is mconsti-
tutiOnal and unjust. Mr.. Blaine has
not been in the habit of damaging
himself by letter, and it is strange
he should have been led 10 do so
now.
Under this arrangement the state
of Maine would receive a large
amount of money because OF a kind
of traffic in other states which II viii
not permit within its borders. 1t was
proposed by Gerrit Smith just before
the late war that the North should
help pay the expense of hberating
the slaves s-that Ii should raise money
TO half the amount OF the value OF
the slaves and give it to the slave
holders; but all New England cried
out against the proposition, and the
extra virtuous declared that it would
be equivalent to a purchase of human
flesh and blood. Maine, as represent
ed by Mr.. Blaine, would be very glad
to receive the proposed divvy. as
would other localities; but the plan
TO secure it is far more absurd than
was Mr.. Smiths plan TO get rid of
slavery.
The presidential aspirants may be
expected to do a deal of tinkering
within the next few months. Butler.
for instance, wants, like Blaine, to
use the liquor question for his own
benefit, and would have the states
regulate the liquor income and dis
tribute it each according to its own
judgment But great deal of legis-
lation, national and state, viii be nee
essary before any plan of this kind
can be adopted; and meanwhile the
presidential election viii have come
and gone, and the tinkers will have
lost all interest in the matter.

EvervMan his own Boss

How to Promote Personal Power-A New Radical
Reformer,
There is no provision in the Divine economy
for political doses!''
With bang of his fist, and in the voice of a
man who had made up his mind on the subject,
Rev. James Chambers, OF Calvary Presbyterian
Church, Harlem, recently opened his sermon with
this announcement. He was right. The only boss
authorized by the Book is mentioned in these
words: she who ruleth his own spirit is greater
than ne who taketh a city,
Commonly, the better side OF men is subject to
the despOtism of the worse side Bad passions,
bad humors, mean jealousis and base reyenges
are all bosses One of the worst of bosses is bile
What Is most depressing in philosoehical o theo-
logical thought is due to it. Old General Debility
is another tyrannical boss. III lashes men who
are naturally good until they become unnaturally
bad miserably weak.
Concealing his deliverance from this bondage
Rev. 5. p Lewis, pastor of the Eighth street Bap-
tist Church, st Louis Mo-, writes: Il as suffer-
ing from exhaustion and general debility. As an
invigorant | used Parkers Ginger Tonic never
met with anything so effective. 1t is an elegant

pronounced temperance people use and praise it

'"THE wild justice of revenge" seems
to be the only kind it is possible TO mete
out these days. Justice as administered
by juries is q reproach to civilization.
The acquittal of Bennett at La Crosse, a
cold blooded murderer, OF Thompson in
Kentucky, whose deed had not sufficient
justification, of Dunn, the Chicago pro-
fessional homicide, who searched the
city for his man until he found aud shot
him, of Dukes the bestial libertine and
cowardly assassin proves that the year
1888 is a period of carnival for corruption.
The annals of crime furnish few parallels
for the crimes of Dukes. He was en-
gagged to beautiful and respectable
young girl. He used the affection she
had for him and the trust she reposed in
him as means to effect her ruin and the
poor, ruined girl was abandoned when
she was shorn of her virtue. Not con-
tent with this the beast, Dukes, boosted
of his success and published the girls
shame to the world Her father was in
vited to visit the room of the seducer of
his child under promise that some
thing toward reparation might be done,
and while there, unarmed. and broken
by sorrow over his daughters shame, he
was shot dead by the man who had
brought sorrow and shame into his fami-
~. A jury acquitted the monster, and
hhe insulted the people of the city whic
was the scene of his crimes and his lusts
by his presence. He was warned to
quit the place but he went Ground, with
a revolver and dagger, and exhibited
his fine form and sensual face, feeling
that his acquittal made him man of
note.
Last Wednesday half witted boy of
10, overgrown and noted for his peace
able disposition, the brother of the ruin
ed girl and son OF the murdered man,
shot the scoundrel, Dukes, while the
latter was walking the streets of Union
town. He put three bullets iEto the
murderer's body, and thus did what the
law failed to do, melted out justice to a
villain.
The boy was arrested and lodged in
Jail 1t would be something like justice
as juries now understand it, to hang the
boy for killing libertine and murderer
who piled his trade under the protection
OF law. People expect nothing from
juries on criminal cases except travesiy
on justice aud the cases above enumer-
atea justify 81 expectation.
