increase, others present even greater
relative gains. The Ruthenian i'm.
migration hns nearly doubled, the
Armenian and Syrian, as well as tho
Greek, show an increase of about 6 per
cent, and the Croatian and Dalmatian
about 80 per cent. From the high re'a-

1t is safe to assume that The prevalent
intention Of those people is to remain
permanently in this country.

| Postal Business for Year.
The results of the postal business for
this country for the year ended ure
Both. 1901, according to the auditor I
the Fostoliice Department, are as fol-
lows:
Receipts, Sill, 631, 1913. 80; expandi-
lures, Sl15, SOD, 924. 81; net deficit, lin
Guiding losses by fire, &c, s3,ss1,
o2O.7l. The deficit for tho fiscal year
is thus shown to be less than 81, 600, 600,
and about $1,000, 0Oo smaller than for
the preceding year. Owing to the ax-
tension of rural free delivery and other
augmented appropriations in every de
IHrtment, the expenses OF the service
we're s.. 200,0 900 greater than the bra.
ceding year, but the continuance of the
nations prost Gritty raised the receipts
more than So, $50, 600.
There has been steady decrease in
postal doticits during the past ten years.
In round figures they we're: sll 500. 0oo
IN 1887; $4,000, 900 in 1898; 81, 500, 600
In 1888; s5,500,o0 in 1909, and
$1,000, 600 in 1901. If this percentage
of shrinkags in the deficit should con
tinue IL would be entirely wiped out
within three years
II is considered significant of the
Increased business activity of the
country that while owing to onoi nous
extensions OF the postal service ITS ex-
penditures have increased S2I 500, GOO,
or y pai cent in five years, its revenue
has increased 800, 0oO, 600, equivalent to
30 per cent during the same period.
The auditors report also shows the
transaction of the postal money order
business for tho same period. Every
money order issued in tho United
States comes into the Auditor's Office
as q voucher, and all the accounts are
Kept and settlements maze with post
masters In that bureau. The agRr eaate
amount of money orders Issued during
the fiscal year was 1924, 6ls, ESQ. 90. The
amount paid was 1921, 554, 7ll.T2. The
difference between these Two amounts
represents principally money orders
issued in this country and paid in
foreign countries.
The total OF monetary transactions of
the Post Oiiloe Depastment, including
postal receipts and revenues, and money
orders issued ard paid, foots up for the
fiscal year 1901. sso3, $3.50, 576.97, The
total was less than s7l5, 600, 600 for the

increase of nearly $5e, COO, 600.

A Sample of Public Work.

AS a sample OF the mannsr in which
county work is at times performed, the
Middletown Transcript relates the de-
yelopments of an examination by the
Levy Court, last week, of two bridges
IN Red Lion hundred, with a view to
disseminating them. "One of these
bridges, says the Transcript, "had
peen washed very badly and the entire
construction was exposed TO examipa.
ton. The specifications called for a
piling foundation on which TO build
the stone work. This piling was found
to be few STAGES not exceeding four
feet in length and to drive which N
fair-sized hand sledge was ampIy suf.
hoient. The result is that the heavy
rains since July have washed the dirt
from around the piles and the whole
structure tumbled down. But in ordsr
to allow of addition, division and
silence the work must be done in a
slighting manner. -
As this bridge was built number of
years ago. the result of the examination
shows that the alighting of public work
is no new thing, and that the existing
evils have been long continued Every
one knows, however, that when piline
is mentioned in connection with bridge
construction, it means largo piles driven
deeply into the earth by pile driver,
and not few stakes pounded down BY
a hand sledge.
The lesson derived from the revelation
thus made by the Transcript, however,
is this; Because abuses have prevailed
for many years is no reason why they
should be tolerated indefinitely, partiou.
iarly when they become so notorious
and costly as they have during recent
years.
