POSTMASTER GENERALS
REPORT

] A6LSE OAb 1 =
The first annual report of Post
master-Gencral Wilson has been
submitted to the President, and
shows that the receipts of the
post office department for The year
ending June 30, 1895, were $50, III, :
900 and the expenditures $50, 100, :
172. The greater part of the deficit,
the report says, was made at the
beginning of the year and that
revenues are increasing with re-
turning prosperity, 1T should be
remembered, Mr.. Wilson says,
"that the free business done by this
department for other branches Of
the government, if paid for at
regular cost rate would more than
wipe out its deficiency
Concerning second class matter,
the Postmaster-G General says:
at is the estimate of the depart
ment that two-thirds of the weight
of all the matter carried in the
mails is, under existing laws and
classifications, carried as second
class matter, at the rate of l cent
per pound, where it is not actually
carried postage free.
1.-THE aggregate weight of the
second class matter in the year of
1894 was 299, 900, 900 pounds.
During the last year it increased to
over 312,OOO,OOO, a growth of over
10000 900 pounds. Deducting the
weight of that which is known as
county free, being the matter
which newspaper subscribers receive
free of postage in the respective
counties of publication, estimated
to be 46, 800, 1876 pounds, there re-
manned 265, 214,3 1872 pounds, which
returned at the rate of 1 cent per
pound, would give a revenue of
80, 652, 143, 80. The average cost Of
transporting and handling this
matter is estimated at 8 cents per
pound. "
According to the above figures the
government loses about $18, 900, 600
annually in handling second class
matter, which amount is greater
than the deficit. We're the postage
rates raised to cost, OR eight cents
d pound, there would be no deficit,
and congress would not be asked
for an appropriation. The mail sent
free by other departments of the
government would then be clear
gain. But would the people profit
by raising the rates on newspapers
and periodicals? Competition has
reduced the subscription price OF
these publications to the minimum,
and any increased expense must be
borne by the subscriber Either
the price would be correspondence
increased or the standard of the
journal lowered, and since every
American is a subscriber to some oil
these publications and receives the
benefit of the reduced postage rates,
he would be the loser by increasing
the postage.
The Postmaster General also re
ports favorable upon the reform il
civil service and recommends its
extension Three of the Assistant
Postmaster General, he thinks, should
be brought under its regulation.
but the Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General should be left as he is
subject to change with the admin
istration

WHAT WILL THEY DO?

question is a very pertinent one.
Recently a great many leading
lights in the free silver camp have
manifested disposition to read ali
who did not think as they do on
financial questions out of the good
old Democratic party. Now, if their
declarations are to be construed
seriously, these same persons
threaten TO bolt the Democratic
party in the event the National
Democratic Convention in 1896 re-
fuses to be dictated to by them and
declines to accept their free silver
16 to / fiat idea Of finance.
AS time goes on apace and the
day for the National Democratic
Convention approaches, nothing be-
comes more certain-as far rs poll
tics can be certain-than that con-
yention will declare for sound
money"
The silverites see and know this,
hence their recent declarations are
of considerable significance.
It will be remembered that not
long ago no less distinguished per-
sonages than the Hon. Jerry South
and Charley Collins advised bolt
if the National Democracy did not
indorse free silver in 1896.
Now, the Hon. Thomas Bott6mly
Morton, of Fordyce, comes along
and declares that he is for free sill
yer, in the party or out of it, and
that he will not support any gold
bug for office.
Last week the Fordyce Enterprise
and Chronicle we're consolidated, and
in announcing the consolidation
Bro. Morton thus speaks of its flu
ture editorial policy:
POLITICALLY, we hardly know what
TO promise, because we DON know
where we are ''at. Our sympathies
and votes have always been with the
Democratic party, and we have a
lingering hope and earnest wish that
the old craft may be steered clear of
the gold bug breakers and that we
may still be able to stand upon its
deck, but we say frankly that this
paper will be for the free and
unlimited coinage of both silver and
gold at the ratio of Is to l, in
the party or out of it. We shall
support all silver Democratic can
didates with afree good will, but we
cannot give any gold bug our sup
port, .
In view OF these declarations it is
pertinent to inquire where are the
silver men "at?e If the Democratic
National Convention adopts a
"sound money platform, do these
"silvernaties" intend to support
the ticket or not? Do they consider
greater than their party,
or are they willing to abide by the
action of their party? Are we to
have loyalty, or are we to have trea-
son? The Sound money" men of
have expressed a will
ingness to abide by the action of the
National Democratic Convention,
the proper tribunal before which
to determine all party questions.
Now, are the silverites ready to
do the same thing? Or will they
follow their free silver fantasy into
Sibley's third party of fat money?
We trust that our free silver
friends of the is to vaniety will
not consider these questions at this
juncture impertiuent, and that
they will answer categorically. In
the light of recent development it is
not improper to ask some assurance
from those who are so exacting in
their demands where the "sound
money" Democrats are concerned.

then the one they all loved SO well lay
cold and still in the ruthless embrace Of
death. IL was indeed a sorrowful home

his manly attributes and qualities Of

decorated with the seasons fruits, and
IN the windows, and over the doors

The platform had the appearance of a

fruits and vegetables was very neatly
arranged. The browning feature Of
the decorations was just back of the
platform. The national colOrs were
very effectively displayed, and under
the flag was "a representation of the

TWO of the teachers, Misses Chase and
Burns, assisted by Misses Lena
