The Post Office .

/ September Y. 1889. the Congress OF
I the United Stst-s passed az acg for the
establishment Of national post Office
system. and that prince of practical
mtn b, nj min Franklin. was appoint
ed the fir-t Pos master General. Pre-
yiously some Of tie col mics had made
attempts to provide for postal service
In 1867. he V rginia legislature passed
an act rsquiilng plant, rs to furnish q
man and horse 10 forward letters from
plantation to IlantatIon. under penalty
of being fined n bogshead of to5sceo.
10 1872. q ''monttly post Was started
between New YORK and Bo.t1u From
1892 to 1893 Ire f loving were letter
postage rates: 80 miles. 8 cents; go
miles. s cents; 100 miles. 10 cents; $50
miles. II cents; 200 miles, Is cents;
$50 miles, II cents; $50 miles. 90 cents;
40 miles, q C, MS; over $50 miles, %
cents. Thes. rates were pretty nearly
prohibitory In 1S45, the rate was re-
duced to ) cents for distances under
800 miles; over that distance. 20 cents.
In 1850, the rate was made . cents on
prepaid letters. 5 cents on net prepaid
under 5000 miles; over that distance,
double rates. October Z. 1888. the
letter rate was .educed to 2 cents for
any distance in the United States. In
1875, the estimate of the Post Office de-
partment indicated profit of $4,000
600 on letter mail, but loss of S1l, 600
600 on newspapers and packages. Two
out of three post offices do not pay ex-
penses of maintenance. The most
rapid development, however, has been
in the railway mail service. Whole
trains Of specially built cars, similar to
the ''fast mali on the Burlington
Route from Chicago to Denver. over
thousand miles, fly daily across the
country, while force of clerks distri-
butte letters and papers on the way.
The United States mail service brings
the whole people into quick communities
ton, and we could hardly exist without
it, but the mail is only one of many
services the railroads render the people.
II you would have at your command
the most elegant and comfortable
means of modern travel, purchase your
tickets always via the Burlington, of
any ticket agent, or address w. j. c.
