The Postmaster Generals annual report,
shows that, in spite of the fact that over
Sl,0oo 900 worth Of lottery revenue has been
lost during the past year, the postal deficit OF
S6,ooo, 900 is surely disappearing, provided
the same rate Of revenue and XXI en-; es obtains
on July !, 1898.
The Postmaster General rrouonnces that
the extension Of the merit system Of pro
motions, SO successfully put in operation IN
the department lately, 10 the larger postofices
and the railway mail, has already bteu
begun.
1t appears hat all The lottery mail has been
driven from the nails
The Pc tmas;er.tianeral recounts the
successes Of the sea postoffices, which quicken
all incoming foreign mails received at New
York from two hours to week, and recon.
meuds the employment of postoffice steam

recommends private indemnity, for lost

be to the department from the fact that only
one piece out Of every 12,000 or more OF
registered mail is lost. 1t is shown by figures
that niRe-tenths Of the causes why letters 20
wrong are due the carelesSness OF the
public, and Mr.. Wanamaker not only shows
how the work Of the Dead Letter Office may
be reduced, but recommends the establish

announces changes in the Postal Guide which
will make it contain popular information and

Floats a song for the dying year
A song that thrills with an uushed tear

And heir the voice with its old refrain,
For the days that never come back again.

For ah, would give in very truth,
