The Cost of the Postal Service

WASHINGTON, November GA. ID.
Hazep, Third Assistant Postmaster
General, has submitted to the Post
master General his annual report for
the year ended June 80, 1885. The to-
tai postal revenue during the year was
$42 ,567 ,S43, while the expenditures
were $50, Oh, ,4I5, leaving the excess of
estimated total cost over 81 oss receipts
SS,SS1 ,57l. During October last the
number of letters received for special de
livery at all special delivery offices was
$40, and the gross income from the
special delivery business during the
month was Sl4,0S2, while the net reve-
nue. was sass. From information de-
rived from the separate reports OF Post
masters Mr.. Hazen thinks that perhaps
al most of the letter-carrier offices the
special delivery system has been reason
ably successful and with proper man
agement, is likely to increase; that ut
places having a population of less than
20,O00 the system has been and proba-
bly, will continue to be of no great
practical value.

A POPULARITY of the existing civil
service reform is that vigilant watch
Is kept over those who enter govern
ment service and not over those who
are discharged or who will likely have
to leave it. Commissioner Eaton ex-
pressed himself the other day in words
like this: "The civil service has two
doors, and our business is to watch
only the one, which admits the new
officials; who gets thro wn out of the
other door is none Of our business"

THE FUNERAL of Vice President
Hendricks, which took place ON Tues
day was attended by Secretaries Bay
ard, Whitney, Lamar aud Endicott,
and Postmaster General Villas. The
latter directed all postmasters to close
their respective offices between the
hours of II m. and 5 p. m. on that day,
oNt of respect to the memory OF the late
VicePresident. Yielding to the pressing
advice of many of the prominent states
men around him, who thought the trip
unsafe, President Cleveland did not go
to Indianapolis to participate in the OBJ
sequies.

THE forty-ninth congress will con-
vene nextMonday, December I. 1t will
consist of 325 members, of which 1S4
will be democrats and 14l republicans.
Since the democrats have a decided
majority there will be no contest for
the speakership.
In the senate, where as hereto
fore, the republicans are in the majority,
the election of new president, which
Office became vacant by Vice-president
Hendricks death, will be the first
work on hand. Of course, under the
circumstances, the substituted Vice
president will be republican. Log
an, Sherman and Edmunds are the
most available candidates, and we
think, that the choice of the
people naturally falls upon Edmunds,
as the most honorable and temperate
partisan of the three.

THOMAS A. HENDRICKS.

Again death has taken one of the
foremost men of this country and
this time the merciless king of terrors
called away the Vice President of the
United States. In him the land
loses statesman of proven abilitie s
and patriot in the highest sense of
the word. He was modest but
true representative of right and
reform in political ma tiers and of the
duties of good citizens and officials to
the republic. His inculpable career
should have an exemplary influence
on his successors in public life.
Thos. A. Hendricks was born on
the 7th of September 1919, in Musk
ingum county, Ohio, and was conse-
quently 66 years of age when he died.
When Hendricks was a child of three
years his father moved to Shelby Co,
Ind, where he gave his son a
thorough education. He graduated
in 184l and was admitted to the bar
in Chambersburg, Pa, in 1S43. In
l848 he entered the legislature of
Indiana. In 1850 he became the rep
resentative OF the Indianapolis district
in congress for five years, and filled the
position of land commissioner OF the
general land office for the next four
years. In the campaign of 1860 he
was the democratic candidate for
governor but was defeated by Henry
s. Lane. In 1862 the democratic
state Legislature of Indiana elected
Mr.. Hendricks U. S. Senator, and
there he was at once recognized as a
leader among his party associates, and
soon gained national fame. At the
expiration of his term as senator he
retired to private life, but in 1872 his
party again nominated him for gov
ernor and he was elected in spite of a
republican Legislature.
On the 3Oth of January 1876. the
third day of the democratic national
convention at st. Louis, Hendricks
was nominated for Vice President of
the United States, with Tilden at the
head of the ticket. The result of that
election is well-known.
Again Mr.. Hendricks retired from
political life and started on
European tour. Shortly after his
return he was nominated by the
Chicago Convention for Vice Pres
ident and in November he was
elected. Last March he entered upon
his Office.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-This day of

card reading as follows:
"The Secretary of the Navy has
arrnnged to deliver Thanksgiving
turkey to any officer or omploya of the
Department who will avail himself of
the courtesy. j. w. HoGG, Chief
Clerk"
To give all chance to prepare for
the holiday the Department was closed
at O'Clock. The 200 employes-clerks,
messengers and scrub-women-were
busy until late in the evening selecting
their fowls at the commission house
where the arrangements were made for
the delivery.

THE Pioneer Press interviewed twen-
ty five members of the Dakota legisla-
ture, OH their way to Bismarck, and
found that the prevailing sentiment
among them was one Of opposition TO a
fight with the railroads or the adOp-
ton of any radical legislation affecting
their interests. They were in favor of
doing something to protect the wheat
grower against elevator indignities and
general determinations. Representa-
tives from all sections were of the opin-
ion that the farmers had been treat
ed very fairly by the railroads, and that
it would not be policy to attempt to
pass harsh laws affecting an element
which has done so much towards build
ing up the Territory. All this means
that as far as these gentlemen are con-
cerned the people may keep paying the
taxes from which the railroads are ex-
empt, and also pay any freight charges
the companies choose to levy. If this
is sample, farewell to hope for some
more weary years.
