The Multiplication of onices.

1t appears from q statement OF the First
Assistant General that the num-
Der OF Post Off1cesin operation on July l, $780,
was g. 400, an increase OF 9,3S8 since 1880. In
ten years nearly ten thousand new officehold-
ers have been added to the civil service by
the Post Office Department alone. or course
the increase is much greater in this than In
any other department OF the Government.

new offices goes steadily II more slowly on.
The creation OF new offices is the first prin-

national debt cancelled by the export tax on

stoutIv dsclaimed responsibility for any debts

Provinces had been pledged. After seven
wears Of financial intrigue and diplomatic ne
co,iations final settlement of the bondhold-
crs claims has been made in the protocol which
onened the way for the execution OF the Trace
contract. The details of this settlement are
explaincd by our staff correspondent.
II will Ire observed that Chill abandons the
guano monopoly. but secures entire exemption
from responsibility for the salt deposits which

facility with which the victorious nation has
boen drawn into this settlement indicates that

the industry for seven years have aSccrtalncd
the real value of the exhausted deposits The
protocol by which they have resigned their
rights over their guanO conqucStS gives TO them

Last Saturday forenoon, N about 10 o'clock,
waiter named Herman Erctrauhcl came out ol a

fell. Even The Tribune. in the hurry of going

hofore we knew as much as we do now. Our
motto now is Tips to the waiter. He may

but supposc we don't begin it for few years yet
There is always time enough for reforms. Es'

we can't do anything else.
Heretofore the brave soul who has refused to
tin n waiter has met with scorn only. He has
felt as he has turned away that the eyes OF every
waiter in the place was on him, and that they
were all silently pointing the finger of shame at
him. Tie has turned up his coat collar and walked
ont and has never gone back to that restaurant
AGAIN Now it seems to be different. The
walters have evidently organized and decided on
heroic measures In the case of the gentleman

the waiter delicately suggested that he was for

confne his attention TO the mistaken reformer
alone but seemed to turn against the whole hui

more important that this anti-tlp reform should
be droppcd right here. There is no call for a
reform in this matter at present. Let us put it

had involved decline Of agricultural and
mining industries and the expenditure OF vast
sums in reckless railway construction. When
the nitrates were brought into market as

and the Peruvian Government in order TO re-

wealth, compelled the nitrate owners to sell
their works and lands, and established "A State
monopoly over the coast manures. Al the
close OF the war Chill annexed the nitrate
Provinces, and occupied the Lobos Islands,
where the largest guano-beds had been. No
monopoly was established over ntrateS, the
production of which was declared to be open TO
all corners in such deposits as had been al
