one OF the executive departments. some
reference TO tho work done is appropriate
here. vigorous and, in the main. an cf-
fective effort has been made to bring TO
trial and punishment all yiolators OF the
laws, but ut the same time care has been
taken that frivolous Offenses should not be
used to swell the fees Of officers or to ha.

THE rOsrAL sEnvlC
Gratifying Progress Made In This Branch
Of the Service.

The report Of the postmaster general
shows the most gratifying progress In the
important work committed to his direction.
The business methods have been greatly
improved. A large economy In expendi-
lures and an increase Of &i,775,000 in re-
ccipts has been realized. Tho deficiency
this year Is s5,7s3, 800, AS against 90, $50, 1s3
last year, Notwithstanding the great en-
largement Of the services. Mail routes have
been extended and quickened. and greater
accuracy and dispatch In distribution and
delivery have been attained. The report
will be found to be full of interest aud sug-
gestion, not only to congress, but to those
thoughtful citizens who may be interested
to know what business methods can do tor
that department of public administration
which most nearly touches all our people.
The passage of the act to amend certain
sections Of the revised statutes relating to
lotteries. approved Sept. ~, 1890. has been
received with great aud deserved popular
favor. The postoffice department and the
department Of justice at once entered upon
the enforcement OF tho law with sympa-
thetic vigor. and already the public malls
have been largely freed from the fraudu-
lent and dcmoralizing appeals and iitera-
ture cmanating from the lottery COM
puDics.

7 HE NAVY.
What Has been Done and 10 Doing In
Our Defense.

The construction and equipment OF the
now ships for the navy have made very sat.
isfactory progress. Since March Z. 1880,
nine new vessels have been put In con-
mission. and during this winter four more,
including one monitor. will be added. Tho
construction OF the other vessels authorized
is being pushed, both In the government
and private yards. with energy and watched
with the most scrupulous care. Tho ex-
perimcnts conducted during the year to
test tho relative resisting power OF armor
plates have been so valuable SO as to at
tach great attention in Europe. The only
part of the work upon the new ships that Is
threatened BY unusual delay Is the nrmor
plating. and every effort is being made 10
reduce that to the minimum. 1t is q source
Of congratulation that the anticipated In
lucncc OF modern vessels upon the esprit de
corps of the officers and searncn has been
fully realized. Confidence and pride In
the ships among the crew arc equivalent to
a secondary battery. Your favorable con-
sideration is invited to the recommends
tions OF the secretary.

5that ~ these twenty-five years there

hospitals. IN increase Of 800 per cent. in
the charge for milk and decrease Of
y Per cent. in the charge for alcohol.
4 second table gives returns from so
hospitals of which no previous record
could be found. On the basis adopted
BY Dr. Fleetwood Buckle, in his report
on 1863 these so hospitals showed de-
crease Of 80 per cent. in the expendi-
ture Tor alcohol per bed. A third
table shows the comparative al
oohohc charges per bed in 1858
ana 1888 respectively. In, 70 hos
pitfalls there had been an increase
OF e.10s beds, and an decrease Of total
average cost per bed Of s7s 50. Sd. Beds
have thus increased At the rate of IS per
cont, while the amount expended on al
coh0l has decreased Ut the rate of ~
per cent. Only eight of this group Of
hospitals showed an increase in the
quantity Of alcohol consumed. In the
remaining IS tho decrease ranged from
80 70 IS per cent In the London Fever
HOSPITAL while milk has risen from
ESQ to eo50 per annum, the disburse-
ments for alcohol were at the rate of
only 15s. I'd. per bed in 1888, as COM
pared with ss IS. per bed in 1858. In
st Bartholomew's Hospital the milk
bill has gone up from e6O0 to over
$4,000, while the alcohol bill had gone
down from 81, 446 to 1858 These statis-
tics prove that there has been grad
ually increasing rational medical ad-
ministration of alcohol, the credit of
which must be awarded to the medical
stains OF the hospitals, . fact which af-

A SIGNIFICANT FACT.
The Saloon tho Laboring Mans Worst
EOelmv.

rue saloon tho LabOrtnG Mans Worst
- Ememy.
1t is very significant fact that the
beer saloon does the most flourishing
business in the place where there is the
largest number of working-men, and it
is also fact that these same saloons
are supported and draw pretty much, if
not all, their trade from this class. II
you have ever taken the pains to look
into the matter you will find that dur
ing the noon hour, and after the clos
ing of mills and factories at night,
these same saloons are filled with men
whose appearance at once denotes that
they belong to the laboring class.
These are facts which are undeniable
and irrefutable, and which stamp the
saloon as the laboring mans worst
enemy. & It takes from him his hard
earned wages. units him for the work
he has to perform. destroys his man.
hood, and deprives his home of the act
ual necessities of life, to say nothing OF
the degradation and trouble it brings to
his family, and destroys mind capable

planned mysteries of our nineteenth
century ideas of progress and civiliza.
ton that men, otherwise sensible and
temperate, with the ever-present ex-
amples of certain ruin before them,
will deliberately and without apparent
excuse give themselves up to this de
grading and demoralizing habit No
man has such strong reasons to fear and
shun the consequences of intemperance
as the working-man. 1t has been found
by a careful study of facts that in the
city of Chicago during the year 1888
1875, 900 barrels of beer were consumed,
for which the consumers paid $2G, $780,
000 This same amount, if put to the
purchase of homes for working men,
costing 50. 400 each, would have supplied
1855 homes. Is this not one of the
strongest and most forcible arguments
in favor of Temperance among the work.

Forty Lives Sacrificed.

There occurred lately in Arizona =
calamity kindred in character to the
Jobnstown disaster of last year, only
less in extent, through which upwards
Of forty lives were lost. A storage dam
imperfectly built by the Walnut Grove
Storage Company across the Hassayam-
pa river gave way under unusual
pressure, suddenly flooding the valley
below. 1t is stated since the disaster
that there were signs of approaching
danger, whernupon the superintendent
in charge in the afternoon of the day
before the break in the dam occurred
sent messenger to the lower dam to
notify the people there of their danger,
but the man stopped 1T saloon, and,
becoming intoxicated. failed to deliver
the warning. Next morning another
messenger was sent, but owing to the
fury Of the storm was overtaken and
drowned just rs he neared the lower
camp. Forty lives we're sacrificed
through the failure of the intoxicat ted
messenger to deliver in time his i'm
portant message. Thus is the saloon

WHAT have the saloons ever done for

aid that Temperance principles are
making great progress in European
countries, that there is q marked in.
crease in the number of guests at hotels
who do not take wine. and that the
number of students who do not use beer
is growing, while the number who do
not use tobacco is already large. Every.
where the cafe is gaining on the saloons,
and in the cafe tea, coffee, chocolate OF
cream are more likely to be ordered
than wine or brandy. A public water
supply Is also being generally intro
duced, so that travellers now very seldom
have the excuse that they must drink
wine, the water is 80 bad.
The most tragic element of the Wal.
nut Grove disaster in Arizona, by which
more than hundred people have been
killed in the breaking of the dam, is the
fact that rum did it. The company or
contractors who finished the work ON a
cheaper basis than that on which it was
begun, may be to blame for the loss of
property. But one saloon is to
blame for the loss of life.
When the superintendent saw that
the dam was sure to break he sent
q messenger down to notify the people
below Of tho danger. But he stopped at
