postoaioe Expenses and Earnings.

The statement of Postoffice receipts
and expenses for this State. just pub
iished. is highly credtable to this CITY
on an expenditure of sls4. SO7. the Govern
nent secured net revenue of $4,000.
This record is surpassed only by Newark,
where $2o2, LOS was paid out, but sl3l.-
No as was cleared as net revenue. OF
course. Jersey City has the proximity OF
New York against her in this as in so
many other matters. Thousands of dol
lars of Jersey City business goes to the
New York postoff1ce. while we get nothing
in return.
The condition is made still more adverse
By the poor facilities which we enjoy,
Much of our mail is sent to New York
for distribution, and serious delay thereby
results. Besides. owing to eramped space
and unfavorable location, the work of our
postofnce Is done at unnecessary cost and
under unnecessary difficulties. The con-
fguration Of the city creates need for
many outlying stations, which, though
they are an advantage to the public, are
q drain upon the income OF the postoffice.
On the whole the record of New Jersey
Is extraordinary. The entire expenditures
Of the Postofice Department for the
State are q, go 444.ss. In return for this
clear profit Is made of g. .0i5, 1855.

Situations Of intense interest are de-

WILL DECLARE FOR GOLD.

Some bimetallic backsliders are try
sibly. themselves, that the Republican
party will declare for international
bimetallism again next year and thus
furnish an excuse for those whom they
regard as prodigals to return.
But every leading organ of the party
in power, every prominent politician
of that party. every state convention
that party has held reaffirms allegi-
ance to the single gold standard and
treats the international saving clause
as an abandoned subterfuge. The
chairman of the Republican national
organization renounces the interna-
tional project as chimerical and char
acterizes it as IAN iridescent dream"
The New York Sun, an authority on
the new RepubIicanism second to none
in this country. says: The Repub-
lican party will again declare for gold,
and it has proved its faith by its
works by maintaining the gold stand
ard as it promised to do in 1896. No
body has anv doubt as to that matter.
Nor is there any doubt that the Dem
ocratic party will not declare for gold"
But it takes the position that no
further legislation is necessary for the
maintenance of the present monetary
standard-eXcept that Republican sue
cess is essential to its preservation be-
cause Of the guard thus placed about
it
A Virginia goldbug paper that de-
serted Bryan in 1896, speaking for a
little band of so-called gold Demo-
Gratis says that before the Repub-
lican party can again count upon their
cooperation its congress must answer
this question: What do you propose
to do at the coming session to put the
country on a sound basis that needs
no artificial props TO keep it sound?''
The Sun answers it, and says:
Whatever the next congress proposes
to do it will propose in vain if it starts
out to do anything of that sort more
than has been done already. Already
gold is the legal standard, and it can
not be made any more the standard by
the next congress"
Gold is the standard not by author
ity of law but by an act of fraud per
petrated on the American people
twenty-six years ago during a Re
publican administration and the Sun
regards that party and that standard
as absolutely necessary to each others
existence.
