this very easily by combination with the Hen

that before the close of the Forty ninth Congress
some millions of dollars will be appropriated for
the Erie as well as the Hennepin. At least that
seems to be the only course left open for the peo
pie of New York State, and do not know but
that after all it is the best that could be done in

shadow of a doubt Count the letters mailed in
city for local delivery and the revenue of one
cent letter over and above the one cent regular
rate which prevails in cities where there is no
free delivery would be found insufficient TO pay
the cost of the delivery system if it should
be introduced into that particular city.
But 1t has been found that Immediately after
a free-deliyery service is established at point,
the regular percentage of increase Of revenue
there has been greatly augmented. Experience
has shown that the natural increase of revenue
from offices without free delivery has been 10
per cent annually, but as soon as free delivery
service is added the percentage of increase
amounts to 10 per cent. and sometimes more.
Mr.. Davis took twenty four cities in which a
free-delivery service was established in the year
1882, and by ascertaining the yearly increase of
revenue from the same for three years before
that time, and comparing the results with the
annual increase during the three years following
the establishment of the free delivery it has
been found that the aggregate of increased per
centage Of receipts over and above the natural
increase during the first three years has
ted in those twenty four offices to more
than two and half times the cost of maintain
ing the free-delivery system i'll those same
places. This result is considered remarkable.
and il verified will probably lead to the extension
of free delivery service to cities much smaller
than the limit of 10000 inhabitants, now
required

Prospective Raids on the Geodetic Survey
Bureau, and Powelrs Geological Survey.
Snncial to he Indiananolis Ionrnal.

Prospective Raids on the Geodetic Survey
Bureau, and Powell's Geological Survey.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, July 31.--It isn't surprising to
the people here that a determined raid should be
made on the Geodetic Survey, the division in the
Treasury Department found to have been run
carelessly in the matter of disbursements of ap-
preparations for it. The whole affair is known
to he reckless and the wonder is that it was ever
tolerated so long as it has been. The wholesale
may be expected when Congress meets. Con-
gressmen say it will be abolished; that it was an
ornamental arrangement, and never did any
good to anybody except those employed in it.
In the same line will come up, for the attention
of Congress, Poweil's Geological Survey. This has
also been shown to be a junketing affair, and
has never benefited humanity by enlghten-
ment or otherwise. A very few years ago it was
created, the first appropriation for it being
S., 900. Il has grown to be an expense of over
half million dollars within five or six years.
and Powells estimates to be made to Congress
for the next fiscal year run up an expense Of
$500 Three quarters of a million year;
and it yields information that is in the slight
oSC measure prdCtlcdO1e. IL Will uuOOUUGeuIy De
abolished this winter.
The Geological Survey would have been aban-
doned some time ago had it not been shrewdly
managed. There have been, every summer and
fall, the sons Of congressman and senator's in
large numbers taken over the country on these
alleged exploring trips paid fat salaries, no work
and splendid time. The boys axedsup their
fathers for the appropriations. A number of
congressman who have no sons or other relatives
that they want to thus impose on the govern
ment, have their eyes on this picnic and will
break it ND
