WAR AND THE NAVY.
THE INDIANS MOSTLY QUIET.

From the report of the secretary of war it
will be seen that in only single instance has
there been any disturbance of the quiet condi-
ton of our Indian tribes. A raid was made
from Mexico into Arizona by small party of
Indians, which was pursued by Con. Crook
into the mountainous regions from which 1t
had come. 1t is confidently hoped that serious
outbreaks will not again occur, and that the
Indian tribes which have for many years dis
turbed the West will hereafter remain in
peaceable submission
STATE MILITIA ENCOURAGED.
On several occasions during the past year
officers of the army have, at the request OF
State authorities, visited these military en-
campments for inspection of troops From
the reports of those officers I am induced to
believe that the encouragement of the State
militia organization by the National govern
ment would be followed by very gratifying re-
suits and would afford it, in sudden emer-
gencies, the aid of a large body of volunteers
educated in the performance of military du-
ties.

POSTOFFICE AFFAIRS.
A PROMISING STATE OF FINANCES.

a
The report of the postmaster general COP
tains gratifying exhibit of the condition and
prospects of this interesting branch of the
public service committed to his care. 1t ap-
pears that on June 80, 1883, the whole num-
Der of postoffices was AZ, 1868, of which 632
were established during the previous fiscal
year. The number of offices operating under
the system of free delivery was l54. At these
latter offices the postage on local matter
by 81, O21, S94, OF the entire cost of the
carriers service in the country. The
rate oc postage on drop letters passing
through these Offices is now fixed by law at
two cents per half ounce or fraction thereof
In offices where the carrier system has not
been abolished the rate is only half as large.
1t will be remembered that in 1868, when
free delivery was first established by law, the
uniform single rate of postage upon local let
tiers was ono cent and so 1t renamed untI
1872. when in those cities where carrier serV
ice was established it was increased to defray
the expense of such services. 1t seems to
me that the old rate may now with pro-
priety be restored, and that, too, even
at risk of diminishing for time, at least, re-
ceipts from postage upon local letters can
see no reason why that particular class OF mail
matter should be held accountable for the en-
tire cost of not only Its own collection and de-
livery but the collection and delivery OF all
other casses, and I am confident, after full
consideration of the subject, that the re-
duclion IF the rate would be followed by such
growing volume of business as to occasion
but slight and temporary loss to the revenue

POSTAL. TELEGRAPH NOT DESIRED. ~
The postmaster general devotes much OF
his report to the consideration in its. various
aspects of the relation OF the government to
the telegraph. Such reflection as have been
able to give the subject since my last annual
message has not led me to change the view
which then expressed, in dissenting from the
recommendation of the postmaster general,
that the government assume the same control
over the telegraph which it has always ex-
ercised over the mails. Admitting that its au-
thority in the premises be as ample as has ever
been claimed for it. it would not, in
my Judgment, be wise use
of that authority to purchase or assume the

No such law was passed, and MIR. Dubois
renewed his recommendation in 1881 and In

other things; "Some Limitation, based
upon the amount of deposits held, should be
made by the Legislature above which neither

The telegraph operators strike has ended
in complete victory for the Western Union.
The opera ors have given it up as a bad job
AMI have gone back to their instruments,
and the company is master of the situation.
The Struggle has been costly one on both
sides, and millions of money have undoubt-
cdly been lost, in the aggregate. A most
important lesson and one which we hope
will not soon be forgotten is that strike
should not be undertaken until every other
means of adjusting differences has been
tried. In the present case it was obviously
the duty of the operators to propose an ar
biirallon, but instead of doing so, with ILL.,
advised haste they entered upon strike the
consequences of which they evidently failed
to calculate correctly.
