the fight without a struggle, while the
privilege of the decks could not be accord

or anxious to watch the green hills as the
good ship moved shoreward.
The Solace anchored off TompkinsNiile

sea voyage was a tonic to the men. They

exhausting winds for refreshing breezes.

men were in an extremely serious condi-
tion. Those who are afflicted with lung
diseases made the entire voyage in the
swinging hammocks on deck and the 9TH

breeze at all times. by day and by night.

on hand and the patients one by one were
carried out on the stretchers or led down

the year These steamers do not ar
rive at regular hours, and the staff has
to be on hand when they arrive and
depart Take last night, for instance,
the Aorangi left at II p. m, the post
office was opened at 9 and the receipt
of mail closed at 10, and then of course
the bags had to be made up.
With such a showing the Postmaster
General is justified in asking for adj
ditional help. If the mails are not
handled quickly, there is an immedi-
ate kick from the public. There is
probably never a day when a foreign
mail comes in that you will not hear
half dozen people on the sidewalk
commenting, in terms of more or less
vigorous Anglo-SaXon-chie more
upon the slow delivery of the mails,
and comparing the swift delivery in
cities like San Francisco, Chicago or
New York. But these people never
pause to think that here the help is
inadequate, while in the cities men
toned the postmaster-in-chief com
mands an army of subordinates.
Another recommendation in the re-
port is the establishment of a domes-
tic parcel post system. We are i'm
matter. One can send parcel by post
to the States, to Great Britain, to New
Zealand, and even to the Cape of Good
Hope, but one cannot send one by post
to Waialua, or Lahaina, or Hilo. To
those who know the convenience of
the parcel post system this seems
grossly absurd. Mr. Dat points out
that it would not only be matter of
convenience to the public, but it would
also be a source of revenue to the gov
eminent. AS the Minister of Finance
is seeking revenue he had better at
once give his attention to the sugges-
ton. There will be a far greater rev.
enue from the domestic parcel post
system than from the licenses to be
imposed for peddling beef in the coun-
try districts.
Enough has been sketched out here
to show that the Postmaster Generals
report is progressive. and that what is
asked for is upon the ground of adj
vantage to the public. There are sew
eral other suggestions, but these are
the main ones: increased help and
domestic parcel post system, and it is
to be hoped that both suggestions will
be listened to.

POSTOFFICE.

There is probably no department of
the government that the public are
more generally or more directly inter
ested in than the postoffice. 1t has
Starting with a candle box into which
letters were emptied when ships
brought letters round the Horn. and
when everybody went down to finger
the letters over, it has grown by sta
ges till it has filled up the present
structure and is now asking for more
room. 1t has been variously managed
and mismanaged in the past, but of
all those who have had charge of the
place, no one has been more popular
or has striven to serve the public bet
ter than the present Postmaster Gen
eraI, j. NJ. Dat.
CHANGING through Mr.. Oats report,
one finds that the revenues of the de-
partment have been $151,O1S.93. and
the expenditures have been $129.1547S.
During the year 1897 alone. 3SS. .19s
letters were received, and 4O1 SIT were
dispatched, and 9,7S6 registered letters
were received, and 1882 were receiv-
ed, Newspapers and printed matter
amounted to 376,4S7 received and 49,
eO7 sent. In the parcel post 1924 pack
ages were received, which paid
S6,2O5.1O duty, and 1924 dispatched.
This deals with the foreign mails. If
one looks at the total of letters for the
biennial inland and foreign service.
there were 6,541 ,460 received and dis
patched; 00,436 registered letters were
handled, and 3,527 ,s2s newspapers and
pamphlets, grand total of something
a little over 1O,OOO,OOO separate arti-
Giles. TO those who are fond of figures
there are opportunities of making
vast number of calculations, but The
Star has no time for giving more than
the aggregate amounts.
If we compare these figures with
previous reports one sees at once how
much the work of the bureau is in
creasing, and the Postmaster General
naturally calls attention to the need
of additional help. He points out that
when foreign mails are received and
dispatched together the whole labor
force of the establishment, including
the drafting of assistance from the
branches not handling mails, has to
be engaged, and that even then it is
impossible to do the work as rapidly
as it should be. He further points out
that the sailing date of the Zealandia
is set for this year at every fourth
Tuesday, and that is the day when
most of the mails are dispatched to
the other islands, and lastly that there
is an average of ten ocean steamers to
arrive and depart monthly throughout

"NONN."

The New York Sun is pretty well
bent on annexation. 1t wants IL any
how and now" 1t is pity that some
of its energy cannot be put into the
wayering Senators. There is much
truth in the argument that the TWEEN
tieth century will care as little about
whether the Islands were obtained by
treaty or joint resolution as the pres
ent generation care what the exact de-
tails of the acquisition of Texas, Cali
fornia or Alaska were.
However in one thing the Sun is
wrong. 1t says in the twentieth CEN
fury 1.-The Mugwump obstructionists of
national destiny will all be dead and
they will have no successors" Like
the poor, the Mugwump, under some
pseudonym, will be always with the
human race. The man who is like
the ferry boat and wears himself out
going from side to side, always arro-
eating his own superior wisdom, is
one of the ills that the human race
will have to endure, till the millennium
comes, and the lion lies down with
the lamb, and the wild-eyed, tangle-
haired socialist chats in friendly
way and hobnobs with the sleek and
well groomed capitalist.
But the Sun is right in urging the
passage of the treaty. There is time
in the life of nations, as of men,
which, taken at the flood, will lead to
success. If the Islands are not annex
ed now there is no telling how great
the cost may be to acquire them in the
future. The day will come when the
United States must have them at any
cost, and then those who have oppos-
ed annexation will be regarded as the
most unpatriotic of citizens. But then
Mugwumps always are unpatriotic.
