statement of appropriations asked by the vari-

that the greatest prudence and caution will be
required In Congress. as well as good Judg-
ment for appropriations as large as the az
gregate asked would leave deficit or over
s21 100000 for the next fiscal year, notwith'
standing the expected increase of revenue. Yet
a part OF the increased appropriations are TO
provide for the National defence, and may not
properly be cut down too closely.
The Secretary devotes most Of his report TO
the plan for currency reform which was In
substance made public some time ago, but now
invites extended discussion. None will doubt
the strong and sincere conviction Of the Secre-
tary that what he proposes Is for the puohc
welfare, but the brief recommendation OF the
President Is much more likely to command the
attention Of Congress at this session than plan
which looks toward and indeed begins, COM
plete revolution in the currency system.

POSTOFFICE ADDRESSES.

The WASHINGTON Postofce Department Is In
receipt Of numerous inquiries as 10 the proper
form Of addressing mail matter for delivery in
this CITY after the first OF next month when
IN. consolidation OF Newly and its neigh
hors goes into effect. The answer. rightly
given. IS that no change from the present form
< 10 be made until further orders The varl-
OILS nostofiices in the metropolitan district VIII
for a time remain separate. as now, and the
system OF distribution OF mail Will be unal-
tered Some time, when the necessary leglsla-
lion is secured there will be. doubt. con-
solldatlon OF all the postofiices into one. under
one central management. Then new scheme
Of addresses will have 10 be devised. But that
,s stlll some distance on
The new system. when It comes may well
be perfectly simple one. based upon the mu-
nicpal divisions OF the city. The name of the
entire city will be New-York. Therefore all
letters will he addressed 10 New York. The adj
dltlon OF the name OF the borough to which
they are TO go will be all else that Is needed
besides the name and street number. For ex-
ample. John Smith. No. 100 Fifth-ave.. Man
harlan. New-York. " y" will indicate beyond
n doubt and IN the simplest manner that the
letter is for a resident Of this present city OF
New YORK. III III ne fllHdNf., -Nt"-
York. v. y" II will be equally clear that It IS
for some one in the present city OF Brooklyn.
II 1t be "Fifth-ave.. The Bronx. New-fork.
y. y" or "Fifth-ave.. Queens. New-York y. u,
or "Fifth-ave.. Richmond. New York. y. Y" 1t
Will be apparent that II Is meant for some one
in the Annexed District or in Long Island
City, or In Staten Island, as the case may be.
The address will in brief, remain exactly as at
present. with the addition Of the name OF the
borough.
For the time being. however, addresses will
remain entirely unchanged Individuals from
any part Of the great city will have the covet-
cd privilege however on and after January l.
OF registering themselves simply as from New
York. The Manhattan Islander and the Brook
| lvnite and the dweller In Ravenswood or Tot
tenville will all be on exactly the same level In
that respect II any wants 10 be trifie
more explicit he may properly add the name
OF his borough In fact. almost anything will
| be right except the use Of the abomnaton
| "Greatrr New-YOrk" For that there can be nc

A OMMENDABLE COUP D'ETAT.

The latest rumor from Austria is hopeful. 1t
Is 10 the effect that the Emperor will Indefinitely
prorogue the Reichsrath renew the Ausglcch
with Hungary by imperial decree, and govern
the Empire for a time without Parliament
That will be suspension OF the Constitution,
verltable coup d'etat. But 1t will be one in
which the slncerest friends OF constitutional
government will be able to rejoice, and 1t will
on the whole make not for absoutism, but for
liberalism. The present Parliamentary regime
at Vienna Is not Liberal. 1t IL not constltu-
tonal. 1t Is anarchlc. To slam desk lids I'm
the name Of liberty. TO hur inkpots for the
sake OF the Constitution, to call foul names for
the promotion Of patriotism, are deeds worthy
