First Postmaster General jones
made his first annual report to-day.
The revenues received By the entire
post office departments, the report
says. will be about s5, 100000 short Of
receipts. The appropriation for the
expenditures under the first assistant
for the fiscal year 1894 IS $37, 74S 400,
and for the next year he will ask SAL
473,1S5. There is now 610 free deliv-
cry post offices in the country, AZ Sc
curing the service during the past
year, while SO others have fulfilled all
requirements and are entitled to free
delivery, but the appropriation is in
sufficient. The law allowing carriers
eight hours has largely increased the
force, and there are now claims for
over time aggregating nearly ST ,0OO,-
600. First Assistant Jones has no
further use for experimental free de-
livery, which has beef tried for two
and a half years in forty-six towns
and villages, ranging in population
from 800 to 1000 Inhabitants.
Mr.. Jones also discourages the idea
Of free rural delivery. There has
been a growth / the money order
sy stem, 6401 Offices being established
during the year. The assistant post
master general thinks two systems of
money ORDERS and postal notes so near
alike are confusing. He recommends
the reduction of the fees ON small or
ders and the alb olisllment of postal
notes. There are now 18,434 money
order offices, from which there have
been issued during the year 1927, $780,
433, and about the same amount paid.
Mr.. Jones recommends legislation al
lowing pc stmasteIs to suspend emplo-
yes for the good OF the service. also
suggests that some provision be made
for disabled employees.

Eariy in the day 1t was seen that big
total would be polled, and the very first
returns that began to come In showed
that the Republicans were gaining. A
very significant report was that from
Greenfield, the birthplace Of John K. Rus
sell. the Democratic candidate, where
from Demo mocratic plurality Of l2 last year,
Greenhalge got plurality OF lS2.
Other omiuOus signs FOR the Democrats
were the constantly reported losses for
their ticket in the stronghold OF Boston.
In this city alone he loss was 1853, j. +.

The same story WAS repeatel In like

ELECTION ECHOES.

The Democrats we're defeated in this
city yesterday. The real cause is the
detection Of that floating element In the
Democratic wards which can be- "appro-
sched." In all OF the Republican wards
Robinson made gains. He lost In the
Democratic Wards, not because of any
opposition to himself but because of q
corrupt alliance between Smith and
Tiepke and the Gas Company. The foolish
voters who do not believs this will see the
result soon and then they will kick them
selves, but 1t will be too late. Still the
reaction will come.
Now prepare for the plurality amend
ment. Election day, the 2sth of this
month.
The Second Ward contest resulted In no
election. Edward Smith who has con.
fessed to "seliing" out the Democratic
party, ran behind Mr.. O'Brien. He feels
sore. He thought that "nis Repu blican
friends" would elect him, but ms ashes of
defeat are his only reward. Treschery
never pays In the end. The next election
should be called for November twenty
eight, the day Of the plurality amendment
election.
The election in the Fifth Ward 10 a sur.
prise. The efforts of the subsidized DEM
ocrsts to defeat Alderman Orally and
Councilman O'Brien failed, but Peter
been defested. IL is q shame. II O'Reilly
and O'Brien should have been defeated
people could place the responsibility at
the door OF those who wanted to do it.
But who can locate the men who de-
featsd Lsrkin.
