jolly humanity and in consequence the
refreshment stands were oyer crowded
all day long. Various games, selections
by the members of st. Georges Manner

helped to satisfy everybody out for a
good time. The crowd was an unusually

The report includes returns from 900

fore November 8, 1895, and covers the

Reduced to mileage basis, the gross

RENtNULS INCREASE
POSTOFFICE
The Free Business Done by the Depart
ment for other Branches.

Washington, Nov. 24.-Postmaster
General Wilson has made his first an
nual report to the president.
The receipts of the postoffice depart
ment for the year ending June &c. 1895,
were $76, 900, and the expenditures
$50, 100, I72.
1t is gratifying, says the report, that
a large portion of the deficiency Oc-
CURED in the first quarter and that
revenues are increasing with returning
prosperity.
MIR. Wilson estimates the revenue for
the year ending June 80 1895, at $685.
1913, 12O, and the expenditures at $94,817,
500, the difference to be made up by
congressional appropriations.
Speaking of the deficiency Mr.. Wilson
says: THE regular annual deficiency
in the revenues of the postal service,
emphasized as it appears to be by the
unusual amount of the deficiencies for
the past two years, may call forth COM
ment from those who believe the post
office department should be self-sustain-
ing. But it should be remembered that
the free business done by this depart
ment for other branches and depart
ments of the government, if paid for at
regular or cost rates, would more than
wipe out it's deficiencies"
The postmaster general refers to the
growth Of the free delivery service and
says:
IT believe it is good policy for con-
gress and for this department to foster
the extension Of this service by jul
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1895-11-30

dicious appropriations and Judicious ad-
miniStration
Concerning the abuses of second class
mail matter, Mr.. Wilson says: Il can
add little to the reasons given by Post
master General Bissell and Postmaster
General Wannamaker for amendments
to the law as to second class matter inn
peratively needed to save the postal
service from enormous abuses and con-
seuuent enormous loss of revenues,
which no regulations of the department
nor watchfulness of it's officers can
guard against. l respectfully and earn
estly recommend to congress a careful
scrutiny into this abuse and such REM
edial legislation as shall be necessary
and effective for it's correction"
Upon another feature of second class
matter, the postmaster general says:
1.-THE volume of second class matter
passing through the mails increases
rapidly and has reached such proper
tons as to seriously retard the distrib-
ution of mails in the larger postofIices
and railroad postoffices. The depart
ment, through it's local reports, has
repeatedly urged publishers to separate
their publications by states and routes,
or territory is sufficient to justify it,
before sending them to the mailing Of
fees, and has endeavored to show them
that their own interests would be sub
served thereby"
Postmaster General Wilson says the
civil service rules should be extended
wherever practicable. He says: THE
magnitude and multiplicity of it's bust
ness operations the perfection of SER
vice, which the people are learning to
demand and expect of it, and the pal
pable truth that such operations can
be carried on and such perfect service
rendered only by men trained and eX-
pert, all these and many other reasons
call for such stability OF tenure as
alone can command or bege. the requis-
tie training, skill and enthusiasm. The
question of extending civil service
methods to the selection of fourth class
postmasters has naturally received my
attention since l have been at the head
of this department. But l do not md
myself able to make, as yet, any spe-
cific recommendations on this impor-
tant subject in the line of legislation
which has been proposed"
