THE POSTAL SERVICE.


The affairs OF the postal service show marked
and gratifying improvement during the past
year. particular account OF its transac toms
and conditions is given in the report of the post
master general, which will be LAID before con-
gress.
The reduction of the rate of letter postage in
1888 rendering the postal revenues inadequate to
sustain the expenditures, and business depres-
sion also contributing. resulted in an excess
cost for the fiscal year ended June 80, 1885, Of
eight and one-third million dollars. An addi-
tional check upon receipts by doubling the
measure of weight in rating correspondence
and diminishing one half the charge for news
paper carriage was imposed by legislation which
took effect at the beginning Of tbs past fiscal
year, while the constant demand OF

THE NAVY.
The NEED OF REFORM,

The report of the secretary Of the navy con-
tains detailed report of the condition of his
department, with such statement of the action
needed to improve the same as should challenge
the earnest attention of congress. The present
navy of the United States, aside from the ships
in course of construction, consists of:
l. Fourteen single-turreted monitors, none of
which are in commission nor at the present time
serviceabls. The batteries of these ships are oh
solete and they can only be relied upon as auxii.
larry ships in harbor defense, and then after such
an expenditure npon them as might not be
deemed jnstitiable.
2, Five fourtb-rate vessels If small tonnage,
only one of which was designed as q war vessel,
and all of which are auxiliary merely.
3. Twenty-seveE cruising ships, three Of which
are built of iron of small tonnage and twenty
four of wood. Of these wooden vessels il is os-
timaind by the navy that only three will be SER
viceable beyond a period of six years.
at weich time IT may be said that of the present
naval force nothing worthy OF the name will re-

All the vessels heretofore ordered are

The production in the United States of armor
and gun steel is a question which it seems neces-
sary to settle at early day, il the arrnored
OF home manufacture. This has been the quo
iect Of investigation by two boards aud by two
three years. The report Of tho gun foundry
hoard in 1884, of Tho board Of foit hcn-
tians made in January last. and the reports
Of the select committee and of the two houses
made at the last session of cons ress. have
entirely exhausted the subject. so far rs preim-
mary investigation is involved and their o;n.

be offered as would result in securing the domes-
