POSTAL SERVICE REVENUES
Auditors Report Shows the Govern
ment Has Run Money Order Sys-
tenn mt Actual Loss.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The auditor for
the Postoffice department, in his annual re-
port, shows that during the last year the
number OF postoffces in the United States
increased from 1876 to 1884. The num-
ber OF domestic money orders issued in
creased from 2779SO7S, representing s4Ol,-
1877, to 29,0O7,S7O, representing SAP, ,4s3, =
1884, net increase in number of !, ,209, ,792 and
in volume OF $41 1863 636.
During the year the revenues OF the postal
service increased from $s9,012, ,61S to s95, OIL
1884 and the expenditures from $97, $50, ,407 to
$1Ol ,632, 100 net increase In the receipts of
$6,OOS,765 and in expenditures OF S3,71S, ,752.
Upon this showing the auditor asks for an
increase of thirty clerks as minimum re-
qulrement for the year 1900.
Considerable space Is devoted to the sub
ject OF money orders and a statement is
given which shows that during the last year
this system was conducted at an actual loss
to the government of approximately slO1,-
b06 which, the auditor says, would suggest
the exercise of greatest care in legislation
for the employment OF new financial features
In the postal service.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 6.-Exceptionally
fine weather is promised for election day
in Pennsylvania. but notwithstanding this
and the fact that the rival candidates for
state treasurer, Lieutenant Colonel G. e.
Barnett, republican, and William T. Creasey,
democrat, have led parties of "spellbinders"
into nearly every county, the usual off-year
apathy appears to exist and the leaders Of
both parties have little hope of getting
out large vote There are rumors from
various sections of the state that the "in
surgents," as the anti-Quay republicans
are called, will vote the democratic ticket
but the republican state chairman confidently
claims upward of 100000 plurality for his
candidate The democratic state leaders
claim they will win If the efforts to prevent
fraudulent voting in Philadelphia are sue
cessful.

was taken with his parents to the Orange
Free State. He was taught from early child
hood to detest the British, and that has
been one great force in his life, and it is
to this hatred of the British that Joubert
owes the fact that he is one Of the greatest
fighters that ever commanded a body of
men in an African campaign. At an early
age he learned how to handle gun and too
shoot with remarkable accuracy He was
young man when he went to the Trans
vaal. He soon made his power felt among
the sturdy Beers Of those days. 1t was al
ways said that Joubert could lead body
of men more successfully against hostile
natives than any other man in the Trans
vaal; so it came about that when there was
any ugly uprising among the natives that
Joubert was called on to lead a detachment
of Beers to quell the rebellion. In a very
short time the natives came to respect the
fighting qualities Of Joubert, and his pres
ence at the head of Boer regiment had
a marked effect on the natives.
In appearance Joubert is about five feet
nine inches in height, stoutly built, has
bushy gray beard, and a face tanned by the
African sun. There is not an ounce of su-
perfluous flesh on his person He is as
strong as an OK and possesses an endurance
that is remarkable for man of his age.
There is not an inch of the Transvaal
that Joubert does not know, and now, in
his siXty-eighth year, he is as full of fire
and fight as he was in 1881 when he de-
feated the British at Majuba HILL Beside
being the general of the Boer forces Jou-
bert Is also vice president of the Trans
vaal, and next to Kruger stands nearer to
the hearts of the Beers than any man in the
Transvaal. His notable battles have been:
Defeating the British at Laings Mex; de-
feating the Natal troo:s, under General
Cooley, at Majuba Hill; completely sup
pressing the Swazis in 1895, a feat which
the British were unable to accomplish,
though they tried it fer years and finally
turned over Swaziland to the Beers in 1895
as being bad egg; but it did not take
old Joubert long to trim the Swazis and
they are now among the best behaved of the
natives subjects Of old Kruger; and whip
ping Jameson when he tried to raid Johan-
nesburg.
This is the kind of man that the British
forces Will have to contend with in the
present struggle Behind this man are
also men of like caliber, men who do not
know when they are defeated. Petrus Jaco-
bus Joubert, this remarkable old general of
South Africa. may be termed the General
Miles Of Africa.
