PosTOFFIcE DEPARTMENT.

Our postofice department is in good
condition and the exhibit made of its op-
erations during the fiscal year ended June

lions in the laws applicable to'ia, is very
satisfactory The total receipts: during
the year were $S2, 400 208.4 The total ex.
penditures were $9o, 626, 296.S4. There was
an increase of receipts over the previous
year of s5,5l6, OsO.s1, or7,1 per cent and an
Increase of expenditures of 81, 836, 124.O2 or
4. AZ per cent. The deficit was 81 ,679, 1886. 10

There should be a small addition to the
existing inspector service, to be employed
in the. supervision Of the carrier force,
which now numbers ID, 600 men, and per-
formsits service practically without the
surveillance exercised over all other
branches of the postal or public service
OF course such lack of superb sion and
freedom from wholesome disciplin

to imperfect service. There should also
be appointed few inspectors who would

THE PACIFIC RAILROADS.

On January 1, 1897, with the amount al
ready matured more than $13,OOO.O 900 OF
the principal of the subsidy bonds issued
by the United States in aid Of the con-
etruction of the Union Pacific railway in
Guiding its Kansas line and more than
$4,000, 600 of like bonds issued in aid OF the
Central Pacific railroad including those
issued to the Western Pacific railroad
company will have fallen due and been
paid or must on that day be paid by the
government. Without any reference to
the application of the sinking fund now in
the treasury this will create such a default
on the part of these companies to the gov
eminent as to give it the right at once to
institute proceedings to foreclose its mort
gage lien. The consideration requiring
an adjustment of the governments rela-
tions to the companies have been clearly
presented and the conclusion reached with
practical uniformity, that if these rela-
lions are not terminated they should be
revised upon a basis securing their safe
continuances.
Therefore, unless congress shall other
wise direct, or shall have previously de-
termined upon different solution Of the
problem, there will hardly appear to ex-
ist any reason for delaying beyond the
date of the default above mentioned such
executive action as will promise to sub
serve the public interests, and save the
government from the loss threatened by
further action,

THE PENSION ROLL

The diminution Of our enormous PEN

year, while the total expenditures on &C.

very small fraction of one third of the en-

The number Of persons receiving PEN

in foreign countries at the close of the
last fiscal year was $751;, and
the amount paid to them during the year
was $5S2, 1858.
The sum appropriated for the payment
of pensions for the current fiscal year end

the succeeding year it is estimated that
the same amount will be necessary.

MAY BE FORCED TO ACT.

Whatever circumstances may arise our
policy and our interests would constrain
us to object to the acquisition of the ISL
and or any interference, with its control
by any other power. It should be added
that it cannot be reasonably assume..
that the hitherto expectant attitude Ct
the United States will be indefinitely
maintained. While we are anxious to ao-
cord all due respect to the sovereignty CT
Spain we cannot view the pending con-
flict in all its features and properly ap-
prehend our inevitably close relations to
it and it's possible results without consid-
erinp that by the course of events we may
be drawn into such an unusual and un-
nrecedented condition as will fix q limit
to our patient waiting for Spain to end
the contest either alone and in her own
way or with our friendly cooperation.
When the inability of Spain to deal sue.
cessfully with the insurrection has be-
come manifest, and 1t Is demonstrated
that her sovereignty is extinct in Cuba
for all purposes of Its rightful existence,
and when hopeless struggle for its re-
establishment has degenerated into a
strife which means more than the useless
sacrifice of human lie and the utter de-
struction of the very subject matter of
the conflict, situation will be presented
in which our obligations to the sovereignty
of Spain will be superseded by higher OBJ
legations, which we can hardly hesitate to
recognize aud discharge.

AN APPEAL FOR ECONOMY.

In concluding this communication, its
last words shall be an appeal to the con-
gress for the most rigid economy in the
expenditure of the money it holds in trust
for the people. The way to perplexing ex-
travagance is easy, but a return to frugal
ity is difficult. When, however, it is con-
sidered that those who bear the burdens
of taxation have no guaranty of honest
care save in the fidelity of their public
ssRvsntA the duty Of all retrenchment is
plainly manifest.
When our differences are forgotten and
our contests of political opinion are no
longer remembered nothing in the retro
spect of our public service will be as for
tunate and comforting as the recollection
of official duty we'll performed and the
memory of constant devotion to the in.

all sources amounted to S409, 475, 4OS. Dur

VENEZUELAN BOUNDARY.

The Venezuelan boundary question has
ceased to be a matter of difference be-
tween Great Britain and the United

that the assent of Venezula thereto may
confidently be anticipated.
