Improved Civil Service.

An endeavor has been made to i'm
prove the civil service within the de-
partmental service by system of pro-
motions and the equalization of salaries
to labor performed. This plan went into
operation July l. 1891, and has succeeded
so we'll that it has been concluded to
extend similar scheme to all postoffices
with fifty or more employees. and to en-
graft it upon the railway mail, adjusting
it to the present system of advancements
by case examinations.
From the smallest of the classified
postohlces the workers will now begin
to climb first through the various grades
of the postof1ice, to the railway mail,
and finally to the postoffice department.
Even the announcement of this plan
has caused new zeal. Advancement
in most cases has heretofore been made
on the personal solicitation of friends,
and not always by the merit of the ap-
plicant; so that not infrequently worthy
clerks who deserved promotion were
passed over i'll order to favor others less
deserving

WANAMAKER'S WAYS
The Postmaster General Rem
ders an Account Of Postal
Progress.
Results of His Methods and
Plans in Handling Public
Business.
In July, 1893, the Department
Is Expected to Be Self
Sustaining.
Reduced Postage, Depository
Systems, Telegraph and
Telephone.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The post
master generals annual report, made
public to-day, shows that notwithstand-
ing enormous losses by reduction of the
postage receipts due to a discontinuance
OF the lottery business, the service will
probably be self-sustaining July l. 1893
Mr.. Wanamaker says that the creation
OF the office of fourth assistant has per-
mtted thorough reorganization of the
departmental forces to be made. The
scheme for promotions on merit, already
lnaugurated successfully in the depart
ment, has been ordered to be extended
to the larger pOstoffices and, so far as
practicable, to the railway mail, and the
opinion is general that the good effects
of this scheme will inevitably be felt
throughout the entire service.
The postmaster general says The
sea poStoffices have proved distinct
success, and incoming foreign mail is
dispatched throughout the country any
where from two hours to week quicker
than it used to be. He recommends the
establishment of branch of the dead
letter Office IN San Francisco TO save
time and expense of transfer across the
continent; the abolition of personal
SuretyShipS of pOStmaSterS, as too many
prevent the strictest performance of
their best work, and very general ex-
tension Of the money order system.
Decreased Deficit
The postmaster general says that the
postal deficiency is gradually and surely
disappearing, and that. the service be-
ing now in full running order, so great
an outlay will not be required for the
next few years. He says: While l
have insisted on good service at any
cost, nevertheless the cash deficiency
has decreased. 1t amounted for the last
year TO So, 100, 205.19. which would have
been much less but for the operation of
the lottery law. This curtailed the
revenue to the extent, it is estimated,
of at least S1,0O0,000 during the
past year. While there Is an increase
in the cash deficiency over that of the
previous year, the increase in revenue
last year 1881 over 1S90) amounts to up
wards Of S5,000,000. 1t is proven by the
rate of expenditures during the past few
months that the cash deficiency for this
year will be lowered to not much over
One-half of what it was last year, as ap-
pears in the financial exhibit; and the
estimates for 1893, which have been pre-
pared for the action of congress at the
coming session, show that the service
may be made to reach self-sustaining
basis by July /, 1893. Only once in a
quarter of a century-in 1SS2-S3, just
prior to the Inauguration of 2-cent post
age-have the department receipts met
the expenditures,

The Anti-LOttery Bill.

The execution of the act of Sept. 10,
1890. concerning lotteries has been eff
fective enough almost entirely to di-
vorce the mails from the business of the
lottery companies. The decrease in the
revenue of the postoffice at New Orleans
attributable to the enforcement of this
act was apparent at the beginning. and
it has continued without intermission.
Patronage of the post is now limited to
letters and packages under seal, such
matter being sent only to points that can
not easily be reached by the express
companies.
Statistics show that during the calen-
dar year of 1880 there were received at
the dead letter Office 1896 lottery let
tiers, or an average of 93S letters per
month. During the first six months of
1890, 1856 lottery letters were received,
or an average of 947 per month. During
the next five months of the same year
there were received 1857 letters, or an
average of $40 per month. During the
eleven months beginning with Decem-
ber, 1890, and ending with October, 1891,
6S6 letters containing lottery tickets
were received, an average of only 62
per month. At present the average is
less than 40.

Postal Subsidies.

Regarding the postal aid bill passed
by the last congress. Mr.. Wan amaker
says: But two American sub sidy bills
prior to the present one have ever be-
come laws. Both of these were of di-
rect application to particular lines of
steamers, and the bill now in force is the
first of general application. 1t contem-
plates a general system of postal COM
penSatiOn, based upon classified eff
cheney as to tonnage and speed of ships,
leaving the administrative work of Sc
lecting routes and establishing service
discretionary with the pOstoffjce depart
ment, and providing for the ready con-
version of the employed vessels into
auxiliary men-Of-War. The sea post
office service has become one of the
most important postal departures of the
year, realizing the highest expectations
of its unity and suggesting still larger
possibilities of practical value. 1t may
be applied to vessels sailing under the
postal aid act.

Do WE MAKE OUR FAILURES !?

This is question worthy OF con-
sideration by every one when We
remember there are many failures
In the world Of men. Few true men
ever begin life with aspirations low
er than success no matter what may
be their beginning. A man starting
out with a.lower mark for himself
than this, is failure ia the begin>
ing.
10 attain success should be the
prompting motive of every individu-
al who enters the worlds great field
of work. To enter the great battle
of lie with lower ambition is but
to letter ourselves with the chains
OF failure, ere the task is begun.
To every Industrious, energetic,
brainy, honest individual who enters
any department of the worlds great
field of business, the avenue to sue
cess is open. 1t matters not how
humble, or how exalted may be the
calling, the chief goal possible of
attainment is success, and any thing
short of this is, at best, partial fail
ure. Thus if in our pursuits we
tall short of this, the question arises
are We responsible for the failure?
If not, then comes the question,
how is it that any succeed? A close
analysis and sitting of the ramifca-
tons bearing upon this subject, will
develop the fact that most tai lures
IN this life are attributable to mis-
takes or INSTRUCTED efforts upon the
part of those who fail.
1t is as true as truth itself, that if
We misapply or misdirect the time,
the talents, energies and powers
that God has given us, ultimate fail
ure will be the result. Herein is
where the responsibility Of mans
failures falls upon himself.
Real success does not consist in
boarding riches and piling up wealth,
but he who fails to acquire for him
self and his, the reasonable comforts
Of lite, falls short of the possibility
within his reach. And when he
traces this effect back to it's prime
cause he will oftener than otherwise
find thai this cause was within him
self. Hence the conclusion is, that
if d man is not making comparative
success at least in his efforts in the
great field of work, it behcoyes him
to inquire seriously where the cause
lies. Monroe Advertiser.

If you would have your life

should keep the the heart with all

bolt your doors against robbers, so
close your heart against evil sugges-

REDUCING THE COTTON PRODUCT.

G. NJ. Sanders in Southern Cultivator.
1t seems to be universally conceG-
ed by the growers Of cotton, that
some means must be devised for re-
ducing the output of the crop. Sew
eral ways Of doing this have been
suggested by the advocates of the
different plans. The most favored
seems to be the limiting of the area
to a specified number of acres per
mule, some enthusiasts contending
for limit as low as ten acres to the
pillow. This plan is Objectionable fer
two special reasons,
First, should this plan be univer-
sally and honestly carried out, it
would reduce crop below the point
to be desired. The world wants
cheap cotton, and if it cannot be had
from the Southern States, il will be
had from other countries, and it
would be suicidal for the South to
foolishly release the grip she now
holds upon the crop; for if once lost
it will not be easily regainod. There
are millions of acres of land in In
dia and in Africa well suited to the
growth of cotton, and should unusu
ally high prices stimulate largely
increased production in those coun-
tries for few successive years, it
will be just as hard for them to
change as it now is for us to do it,
and, they, like us, will only discon>
tinue the cultivation of the staple
when driven to it by unremunerative
prices. Cotton is the greatest mon.
ey crop grown, and it is just as good
in other countries as It is in the
United States.
Second, it has always been shown
| In the past that any concerted action
to reduce the crop has invariably
| acted in the opposite direction. A
concert of action to reduce the crop
holds out the inducement of high
prices, and every individual planter
seizes upon it as the opportunity of
his life, and crowds in every acre
that he possibly can, and the sequel
is always the same, bigger crop
thar ever.
The truth of the whole matter is
just this, only this, and nothing
more: The neglect of raising our
supplies. Convince the farmers Of
this, and the battle is won, and the
only ones injured will be those who
refuse to be convinced. The cot.
ton crop should not fall before seven
OF seven and one half millions OF
bales. That would put cotton again
to nine cents, which is as high as is
entirely safe for it to go, and | am
in favor of keeping on safe grounds.
II the South will raise her corn and
meat, that will reduce the cotton
crop million or more bales, and if
that won't do it, the present low
prices will, and the man who lives
at home on his own ''hog and homi-
n.y." will be the one who will sur.
vive.

REMOVE THE CAUSE.-It is

ITO doubt the correct
thing to treat the symptoms of a
disease, but this is not effective un-
less the cause of the complaint is
removed. For instance, fever
may be treated with quinine, etc.,
but unles the cause is removed the
fever will surely return. Again,
the sores and eruptiors of Scrofula
may be healed by mercury and pot,
ash treatment, but unless the cause
of these symptoms is cleansed from
the system, they will returns or at
tack some Of the delicate internal
organs. Swift's Specific strikes at
the cause of the trouble, and forces
out the germs OF disease, and the
poison through the pores of the
skin, and at the same time builds up
the general health Of the sufferer.
Swift's Specific is purely vegetable
remedy, and is harmless to the most
delicate, yet it never fails to elimi
nate the poison from the human
body. We will mail valuable book
to all who will send for il.
