POSTAL AFFAIRS.
Spanish War Increased the Labors of
the Department.

The postal service of the country adj
vances with extraordinary growth.
Within twenty years both the revenue
and the expenditures of the 0ostoffice
department have multiplied three-fold.
In the last ten years they have nearly
doubled Our postal business grows
much more rapidly than our popula-
ton. 1t now involves an expenditure
of $100000,000 a year. numbers $4,000
postoffices and enrolls 200,0 600 employees.
This remarkable extension of a service,
which is an accurate index of the pub
lie conditions, presents gratifying evil
dence of the advancement of education,
of the increase of communication and
business activity and of the improve
ment of mail facilities, leading to their
constantly augmenting use.
The war with Spain laid new and eX-
ceptional labors in the postoffice de-
partment. The mastering of the mill
tary and naval forces of the United
States required special mail arrange
ments for every camp and every cam
paign. The communication between
home and camp was naturally eager
and eXpectant. In some of the larger
places of rendezvous as many as $4,000
letters a day required handling. This
necessity was met by the prompt de-
tail of experienced men from the eS-
tablished force and by directing all the
Observation-Disclosures of the railway mail
and oostoffice service so far as neces-
sary to this new need. Congress passed
an act empowering the postmaster
general to establish an Office or branch
at every military camp or station, and
under this. authority the postal ma
chinery was speedily put into effective
operation. Under the same authority
when our forces advanced upon Cuba
and Puerto Rico, and the Philippines,
they were attended and followed by the
postal service. Though the act of con-
gress authorized the appointment of
postmasters where necessary, it was
early determined that the public inter-
ests would be best subserved, not by
new designations, but by the detail of
experienced men familiar with every
branch of the service, and this policy
was steadily followed
When the territory which was the
theatre of conflict came into our pos
session it became necessary to re-es-
tablish mail facilities for the resident
population, as well as to provide them
for our forces of occupation, and the
former requirement was met through
the extension and application of the
latter obligation. 1 gave the requisite
authority and the same general princi-
pie was applied to this as to other

WASHINGTON CENTENNIAL.
Founding of the Capital City Should
Be Celebrated.

In the year 1900 will occur the centen-
NAL anniversary of the founding of the
city of Washington for the permanent
capital of the government of the United
States by authority of an act of con-
gress approved July 16, 1880. In May,
1900, the archives and general offices
of the federal government were re-
moved to this place. On the 18th, of
November, 1900, the national congress
met here for the first time and assumed
control of the federal district and city,
This interesting event assumes all the
more significance when we recall the
circumstances attending the choosing
of the site, the naming of the capital in
honor of the father of his country and
the interest taken by him in the adop-
ton Of plans for its future development
on magnificent scale.
These original plans have been
wrought out with constant progress
and signal success, even beyond any
thing their trainers had foreseen. The
people of the country are justly proud
of the distinctive beauty and govern
ment of the capitol and of the rare in
strumentS of science and education
which here find their natural home
A movement lately inaugurated by
the citizens to have the anniversary
celebrated with fitting ceremonies, in
Guiding perhaps the establishment of a
handsome permanent memorial to mark
so historical an occasion, and to give
it more than local recognition, has met
with general favor on the part of the
public. I recommend to the congress
the granting of an appropriation for
this purpose and the appointment of a
committee from its respective bodies It
might also be advisable to authorize the
president to appoint a committee from
the country at large which, acting with
the congressional and District of Co
lumbia committees can complete the
plans for an appropriate national cele-
hra tinn
