THE POSTOFFICE.

The revelations contained in the message
on the subject OF the postal business will
surprise the public. 1t seems that the
postal receipts from all sources during the
year ending June 80. 1882. exceeded those
0f the previous year by nearly 8. 000, 000
No such progress in the exchange Of intel
ligence was ever before recorded in a single
twelyemonth. The deficiency which has
ranged during the last ten years of from
100000 to $1,000 600 year viii be re-
duced TO S1.752. 423 in the year ending June
80, 1893. and Will be converted into a surplus
in the following year. That has not
occurred since 1882. when the rate Of single
hostages was reduced from 5 TO cents.
The policy Of the United States since the
beginning Of the Government has been 10
spend more on the pOstoffice than it yielded.
Whenever the revenues have approx imated
10 the expenditures the rates on postage
have been reduced. This policy has been
based upon the belief that the Government
could afford to spend a few millions every
year in disseminating intelligence among the
people and that it was irs duty TO do so.
There seems to be no prospect that Cor
gress will now depart from its immemorial
tradition, and, therefore, instead Of aceumu-
lating surplus on: of the postal revenue 1t
will be safe to look forward in 1894 or 1895
to reduction Of postage to 1 cent for the
half ounce.
The increase in the postal revenue. which
was only $4,000, 900 ten years ago. to double
that amount. or something like $40, 900, 600,
to-day, VIII also have the effect of strength
ening tie movement for postal telegraph.
This movement has been so thoroughly dis
cussed during the past ten years that the
public require no further education on the
subject. There is nothing left of the argu-
ments which were advanced before the
postal committees when first laid before
Congress. They have answered themselves.
If il be the business of government to
transmit the letters OF the people, il is
equally its business TO transmit the tele-
graphic communications which in our day
have taken the place of letters. On what
conditions the Postoffice Department should
enter into the telegrsphc business. whether
Ii should buy out the existing lines, and, if
so, at what price. or whether it should build
its own lines, are matters of detail to be ad-
justed by committee Of fair minded Con-
greSsmen.

THE LOCATION OF THE ARMY,

Oar Democratic contemporary endeavors
to damage the Secretary of War by assert
Ing that in his forthcoming report he will
advocate the withdrawal of the troops from
the frontier stations and their concentra-
tion in the vicinity Of large cities Our con-
femporary's recollection of history is de-
fectiye. Every Secretary for years has
recommended the very change which the
Examiner denounces as novelty In 1885
Mr.. Cieveland's Secretary OF War. Mr..
Endcott. said in bis report:
The lieutenant general commends TO careful
consideration the policy OF concentrating troops
ana putting large garIlsons in the vicinity OF
large cities as means OF economy, the present
railroad facilities being ample to transport
Them 10 the frontier speedily when needed.
1t is a mere question of business. The
points at which Indian outbreaks are likely
to occur are within easy reach of the mill
tary centers; in few hours a sufficient
force could be concentrated at any OF them
which would be ample for the restoration
of order. That being the case it Is clearly
tile business of a sensible Secretary to mass
the troops where they will cost least to sup
port, where their health can be assured and
they can be kept In the highest state OF
efficiency. 1t needs no argument to show
that these conditions can be better fulfilled
at such cities as San Francisco. Chicago.
Leavenwortb. Philadelphia, Pittsbnrg and
Richmond, Va, than at frontier ontposts,
where transportation doubles the cost OF
supplies and ramshacKIe barracks invite
disease.
The Indian question is passing ont OF the
domain of actual politics. Among the
various Indian tribes the irreconcilables are
dying out and the others are being asslml-
lated The Cherokee nation has attained

THE NATURE OF TRUSTS.

The decision Of The Supreme Court of the
United States in the Chicago water trust
case may serve to correct erroneous impress
sons which have been entertained by poll
ticians of too practical turn of mind. The
impression we refer to is that there is 10
Inherent difference between the title 10
property held IN trust and that held in fee
simple. subject, as all property is. to certain
common law principles In the Chicago
case it appears that the Illinois Central Rail-
road Company claimed two miles of the
water front on the strength Of grant of
right of way. 1t flied in submerged land
and claimed ownership of it. 1t is said to
differ from the Oakland waterfront case 10
the nature of the grant under which the
claim in each case is made. In the Chicago
case it was right of way; in the Oakland
case the State gave Oakland title in trust,
the property to be held fer the use of the
people. The decision Of the Supreme Court
covers both cases by the declaration that
the State cannot abdicate its trust over prop-
eriy in which the people are interested in
stancing naylgable waters and the soil
under them. This principle covers all differ
eBces of title. Whether or not the Illinois
Central held by a strong title as the South
ern Pacific holds in Oakland, the title of the
latter, having been obtained through a deed
of trust, cannot be any better than the prin-
ciple of law laid down permits IL to be. The
substance of the decision is that law-making
bodies. whether State Legislatures or City
Councils, cannot give a title to property the
State holds in trust for the whole people.
Neither the Legislature Of California nor
the Legislature of Illinois has ever been in
position to give an absolute title to the
waterfront lands in dispute in the two
States. This decision will serve as check
upon yenality Mercenary legislators have
not as much to sell as they thought they had.
Schemers cannot buy so much as they
thought they could. The people have more
rights than they were sure that they had
q few souatters cannot get together and
sell for song the magnificent inheritance
OF coming people. In respect to the Oak
land water front the pitiful consideration
given would naturally raise the question if
town council possessed the right which
the Oakland town council endeayored to ex-
ercise. Could half dozen men seize upon
and sell water front indispensable to the
future growth of the town? The Supreme
Court seems to say they could not. II the
cases are not parallel. both are subject to
the principle of tie law laid down

road rates across the continent and
again from San Francisco to his customers.
The advantage OF a situation on the sea was
thus lost to San Francisco. The Panama
Railroad Company now proposes to open that
route to other shippers than the Pacfc Mail
Company. 1t proposes also to put rates
down to the cost Of service with reasonable
profit. 1t goes further and proposes to put
on a line OF steamers between San Francisco
and Panama. connecting by means of the
Panama Railroad with ports of the Gulf OF
Mexico and Atlantic ports. The Pacific
Mail Company. having made the people OF
this city the victim OF its short-slghted
policy, is now trying to create a prejudice
against its new competitor on the ground Of
national feeling Americans. it says. ought
to stand by American lines of travel. 1t
asks ali American court TO shut out the
Panama Railroad Company somewhat on
the ground that foreign ships are excluded
from the domestic carrying trade. But the
appeals of the Pacific Mail Company to pat
riotism will not have much effect. The navi-
CATION laws will be complied with by the
Panama Railroad Company, and its vessels
will receive the same support the Pacific
Mail Company's vessels would have received
if it had been true to the State.

THE HAWAIIAN CABLE.

In the message of President Harrison
there is urgent recommend alton of the lay
ing Of a telegraph cable between this coun-
try and Hawaii. Ii is recommended both
for national and commercial uses. The
surveys are all sufficient to warrant the
carrying out of the enterprise without fur
Their delay. We have a coaling station in
the Sandwich Islands. and unquestiona bly,
it Is greatly needed as a naval base. With
a submarine cable 10 the islands the posi-
ton Of the United States in the Pacific
Ocean would be greatly strengthened.
Probably the reason why a cable has not
been laid heretofore is the simple one that
commercial men distrust the enterprise as
profitable speculation, but national ad-
vsntages are paramount enough to render
Government aid expedient.
One advantage which a cable to the
Islands would insure to US would be little
more information daily on the meteorology
OF the Pacific Ocean area The weather
prophet 10 San Francisco has slender ma
terials available for his calculations. He
knows the weather Of the coast as far north
as British Columbia and as far south as the
Mexican border, but he does not even know
the condition of the barometer at The Faral-
tones. The weather of the whole vast Pa
cifc is blank. Were there a few more
islands in the Pacific, especially TO the
northward, this defect in our meteorolopi a |
calculations could be remedied A cable to
the Sandwich Islands would assist some
what in dissolying our uncertainty. Ia
about 40 per cent of cases the predictions
frum our Atlantic seaboard to Europe are
realized. Europe is also in the position of
not having sufficient outlying islands to
give warning of barometrical disturbances,
but cables laid to Newfoundland are found
TO be of some service.

THE PACIFIC MAIL COMPANY.

The course OF the Pacific Mail Company
has been such that IL is without support in
the State In which it claims home. 1t has
dragged foreign company into court with
the purpose of excluding that company
from share in American trade which the
Pacific Mail has made the subject of bar
gain and sale, and in this case sympathy ia
with the foreign company. For some years.
as has often been stated. the Pacific Mail
has accepted monthly sum of money to
permit the Southern Pacific Company to Gx
its freight and passenger rates. The result
OF that arrangement has been the main
tenance OF such rates Of passage and freight
as the Southern Pacific chose to establish.
The Pacific Mail agreed not to compete.
San francisco was by this agreement made
to depend entirely upon the Southern
Pacific Company for transportation to and
from Atlantic cities. The San Francisco
merchant was ut the end of route which
was supplied at all points from Eastern
merchants. The effect has been seen
in our loss Of territory. The San
Francisco merchant had to pay rail-

SMUGGLING CHINESE.

Tie revelations made by the late master
of the smuggling yacht Halcyen afford
strong proof that the Chinese are peculiar
people and require to be dealt with In a
peculiar way. The entrance to this country
being barred by act OF Congress they make
use of Canada as a stepping-stone. Snug
CLING Chinese across the border is quite as
profitable as the smuggling of opium. Out
of one cargo of both commodities the owners
Of the Halcyon are reported 10 have earned
$4,000. This is running the blockade with
a vengeance. No fewer than $50 of the
CelestialS were landed in Monterey Bay in
one night and also $50 cases of opium es-
capped the payment Of duty. The California
coast is so poorly patrolled by Government
revenue vessels that this feat is possible of
repetition almost any week. Another snug
Cling effort is now in progress from british
territory. The United States must take
some means to keep better posted with in
formation from Vancouver aud the British
Columbia coast. With correct details as to
the departure of smuggling craft there would
be better chance OF capturing them. The
Chinese. once landed, are almost safe from
arrest, for they can no more be distinguished
from one another than so many sheep. But
when the certificate and photograph plan is
enforced smuggling will not be easy. The
law is justifabie on this ground.
