TIE NEW rosTA1 LAWS.
How the Expenditures and Income will
he Affected by To- days Changes.

RoW tht anu AnHuilt VIII
he Affected by To-day's Changes.
The revenues Of the Postofllco Depart
meut will be seriously affected by the new
legislation. After to-day letters weighing
one ounce or less may he sent through the
mails for cents, and the rate on news
papers mailed by publishers will be re-
duced from > cents to / cent per pound.
From the reduction in the newspaper rate
a large deficit in revenue is expected to re-
suit. The deficit for the year Just cxpir-
ing is roughly estimated at -, 100000, and
the estimate for the new fiscal year con
templated a deficit of Sl,S2G,0OO. This cs-
innate, however, was prepared without
knowledge Of the reduction In newspaper
rates to be made by Congress during the
last weeks of the session. In the opinion
of the financial officers Of the department
this will cost the government at least
$l,000,0O0 during the next fiscal year. and
will swell the excess of expenditures over
receipts to S6,OO0,000.
With the new fiscal year beginning to-
day the internal legislation contained in the
appropriation bill goes into effect. In the
Office Of the first assistant postmaster gen
eral twelve additional clerks are provided
for, most Of them being specially designated
for service In the salary and allowance de
vision In connection with the adjustment OF
accounts of postmasters, under the terms OF
the act OF March 3, 1884. For the settlement
of these claims an appropriation Of Sl7,s00
will be available The new appropriation
bill contains n clause authorizing the leas-
ing of third-class offices. As there are ,s37
such offices, and the appropriation is only
S50,000, tits not probable that the provision
can be carried out A rough estimate places
the sum required for the purpose at S53, 400
per annum.
Provision was also made for the estab-
lishment Of a system OF special delivery OF
letters Immediately upon their receipt at
pOstoillces but the Postmaster General
has not yet given the matter his personal
consideration. II is possible that the sys-
TEN will be tested in one or more of the
| large cities next autumn, and its extension
will depend upon the result Of the expert
ment. In the Office of the second assistant
postmaster general the appropriation for
| star route services has been increased $780,
600; for railroad service, $4,000; and for
railway postal clerks, $3S2, 800 thus allow
| ing for wholesome expansion of the trans
| portation service. Only $l4,500 will be
available for the extension of the existing
| special mail facilities or fast mail service,
and 1t has not yet been determined how to
apply this appropriation.
A clause in the new bill provides that the
| Postmaster General may extend domestic
steamship service to foreign ports within
| 200 miles Of the nearest domestic port,
| The steamship service between New York
and Havana and between San Francisco
and Victoria, B, c., may be affected by this
| provision. The companies are now entitled
to receive the sea postage on letters, while
under the new law the service may be let to
| the lowest bidder.

Joy in Hooking Valley.

No strike which has occurred in recent
years In this country attracted more atten-
tion and enlisted more of the sympathies of
the people than the one in the Hooking val
ley of Ohio. That the miners were acting
upon wrong principle and were destined
to fail in their effort was almost universally
acknowledged, but the patience with which
they endured prvation and suffering and
the law-abiding conduct of the great ma
iority of them called out expressions of ad-
miration, even from those who could not
approve of the methods employed. II will
be gratifying to know, then, that with the
end Of the strike and the resumption Of
work prosperity has returned again to the
valley. One Of the results of the disagree
ment is reported to be q discontinuance of
store orders, in which the miners were COM
PEELED formerly to take share Of their
wages, and dissatisfaction with which was
one Of the causes Of the trouble. Other
lessons taught by the long period of idle
ness will be learned doubtless by both en-
ployer and employees, and result in the fu-
ture in less friction and more amicable re-
lations between the Philadelphia

A statesman of the old school,

Gov. Hill appears to be making an active
canvass for the nomination of the Demo-
cratic state convention, and he is much
helped by the bitter hostility of the Mug
wump journals. The Erening Post and the
New York Times are vehement against
him, and in the opinion of the masses their
Democracy. The friends Of Mr. Flower
ought to stir about and excite some such
venomous demonstrations against the pos
sibility of his nomination. As the case
stands at present, the honor lies between
him and Gov. Hill, and the hatred of the
Mugwumps counts heavily in the COVER
nor's favor. The Democratic masses are de-
termined, above everything else, that their
candidate for governor next fall shall be a
statesman of the old scnool.-NcV York

THE District Commissioners seem to have
realized the force of the discussion Of the
school book question which this paper took
up some months since. The same dcpreca-
tion Of agitation as was tried in regard to
the water supply was put in force in this
matter, Like the water pollution, the
school book scandal has been set at rest by

not do to acknowledge too promptly that a

of affairs that the officials hired to regulate

The trouble between Reuters News
Agency and the London dailles threatens to
result in a dissolution Of existing engage
mcnts and the establishment of a general
press agency, such as we have in the United
States, Reuters agency has made demands
for such increased payments by reason Of
large expenditures in getting news from
the Soudan, South Africa, and Afghanlstan
that the London papers, led by the Times,
are positively refusing compliance. 1t

rope tomaintain cooperating press agencies

Gross injustice has been done both to the
living and the dead In this Nyack postofllce
affair. The unsclfsh effort Of the former
postmaster to give his fellow citizens better
postal facilities is made to appear as u
crime, and his daughter is declared to have
shared his guilt, and is summarily deprived
Of her office. There was no room here for
charge Of "oifensivc partizanship," and
of blacloning the character Of worthy and
respected man who lived and died univer-
sally honored in the community where he
had passed his life Such a miserable de-
vice is worthy Of a Democratic administra-
tion; but they seem to have made q bad
mess of IL in this case.-NciU York Tribune.

Emreror WilIiam,s Death Exrecteh,


LONDON, June 29.-The death of the En-
peror William promises to be the next
great sensation In Europe. Extraordinary
precautions are being taken to prevent the
sending of any kilograms revealing his real
condition, but private letters are not sub
ject to the official censorship, and they
give such discouraging forecasts that the
news Of his death Is daily expected. In
official circles In England the death Of the
aged Kaiser is looked upon as an event of
the very near future, and the extent to
which this occurrence is calculated upon
and discounted seems surprising and heart
less. Its immediate political effect will be
to bind Germany and England together in
very close union. The crown princess of
England will be the empress Of Germany,
and the coming emperor is known as au
affectionate friend Of the Prince Of Wales
and of Queen Victoria. Nothing more OPP
perfume for the new tory government of
England could possibly occur.

Another case of faith cure is reported in
our news columns to-day. Rosa Warren
was afflicted with spinal meningitis, caused
by fall while enjoying the delights of
roller skating. She fell on her knees one
night, prayed earnestly, and instantly her
disease left her and sic was well. Bishop
Chatard investigated the case and vouches
for its truthfulness in every particular.
Do we doubt that she was curedP Not at
all. The testimony in favor of the fact Is
as good as that on which the most important
events of history rest. If we doubted 1t
we should be compelled to doubt almost
everything. Rosa Warren presents us with
one instance out of ten thousand, and to
shut one's eyes to them all is simply folly.
Was she really cured in answer to prayer,
or did the prayer rouse her Imagination and
start into activity certain latent forces which
were an efficient cause of the cure? Well,
the answer to that question does not come
within our province. Bishop Chatard says
she ewas cured by prayer alone. As matter
ofnews, however, we gladly record the fact
that she suffered from spinal meningitis,
that she prayed, and that she says she has
been cured.-NctC York Herald.
