POSTM AsTER GENERAL SMITH
Points Ont the Way For Savinl
Twenty Millions AuDunIly.

Points Out the Way For Saving
Twenty Millions Annually.
Washington, Dec. 4.-'The annual re-
port of Postmaster General Charles
Emory Smith was made public last
night. Its chief feature is plea for
congressional action to stop the abuse
of second class mail privileges, which
he says results in an annual waste Of
upwards of $2O0OO00O The financial
exhibit for the fiscal year shows total
expenditures of s1O1 ,632 ,1Gl and total
receipts of $95,021 1884. the deficiency
being $2,422,747 less than last year.
The postmaster general says in part:
There are many Improvements and
advances waiting development and ap-
plication. opportunities for speedier
transmission and delivery; fields for
broadening the scope of the mail SER
vice and bringing closer home to the
people possibilities of reduced postage.
but above and beneath and beyond all
is the redemption of the special con-
cesson which congress granted for
distinct and justifiable object from the
fungus growths and the fragrant evils
that have fastened upon it.
THE postal deficit for the current
year is $6,610,776. But for this wrong
full application of the second class
rate instead of deficit there would
be clear surplus of many millions.
1t is not now proposed to restrict the
privileges Of legitimate publications
or to modify the design of the law,
but only to bring back its application
to its original and just scope. It is
believed that fully one-half of all the
matter mailed as second class, and paid
for at the pound rate. is not properly
second class within the intent of the
law.
IF there is to be favored class, let
1t embrace all the people. With this
class paying properly even penny post
age, with reasonable limitations, could
be applied to letters without entailing
n deficit larger than that of the last
few years, and possibly with none at

Germany's Decreased Revenues.

Berlin, Dec. 4.-The government has
been expecting that the growth Of the
empires revenues would yield the
funds required by Emperor Williams
naval project. thus avoiding additional
taxation. If. however, the present de-
crease in receipts continues the pas
sage Of the bill will be imperllled. For
several months there has been rela-
tive and absolute decrease, that for
October being 100000 marks, when
the receipts for the month are COM
pared with those of October last year.
The government had expected an in
crease of 100000 marks annually,
but the total increase during the last
nine months has been only 100000.

Santiago de Cuba, Dec. 4.-The mu-
nicipal police have been transferred to
the military department. Until now
the force, owing to the iealousies Of
municipal politics, has been inefficient.
and the mayor and council requested
the transfer thus accomplished. Many
former members failed to pass the rigid
examination insisted upon by the
American authorities, and the present
personnel is a great improvement upon
the old. Captain Pierce will require

Chicago, Dec. A novel boycott of
the wares of the piano manufacturers
who have locked out their employees
has been decided upon by the Chicago
Federation of Labor. The plan is to
induce the renters of pianos to shun
the product of the factories involved
in the labor troubles. Wherever the
tabooed instruments are found on rent
the users are to be asked to return
them to the warerooms where they
were obtained and to replace them at
once with instruments made in fac
tories that have refused to Join the
lockout.

THE Democrats in City Council
are still at logger heads over the
election of city officers. We think
that they should be impeached and
removed for not electing new officers
or re-electing the old officers. At
the last meeting of Council an effort
was made to elect city auditor and
bailltf of that body, but without
avail. The Democrats are OF the
same mind they have been since
they first caucused tor their Off
Gals. There will be no attempt to
remove William NJ. Pyle, president
of the Police Commission, for the
part he took in removing Captain
Chambers. All the talk has been a
bluff on the part Of City Council,
but it failed to scare the Commits
sioners who intend TO conduct the
department according to rules laid
down tor their guidance Of the
same.

THE ones who have been making
threats what they will do to the
Republican Police Commissioners
have not scared them from doing
their duty. There is nothing alarm
ing IN the fact that the police force
has Republican captain and three
sergeants, when the patrolmen are
more than half Democrats and they
have seven Democratic sergeants
The attitude OF Democratic Com
missioner Hart is an enigma since
the political complexion Of the Board
is changed. We hear on the best
authority that no changes will be
made in the force without Just cause
and every man will have fair
hearing, Drunkenness will be
punished by dismissal and the Of
fender will not be given second
trial. The officers are expected to
do their duty and their political af-
tiliations will not be questioned.
The men who are discharged will
be succeeded by Republicans until
the force is equally divided. This
is all right and should not be COM
planned of.

plaits, however, spread toward the
bottom Of the skirt. providing more
fullness at the center back floor line
than has been recently worn. The
closing is made invisible at the
left side of the front under a band
of velvet passementerie.
This model may be fashioned in
camel's hair. poplinette. armure, or

front decorated by braid, passemen-
terie, or finished in strictly tailor
style. with several rows of stitch
