Suggestions for Improvement of Ihe System. Foilmultr-Otneral Buitll'i Annnal lttport — Eii/artm-nti B«|oa by Wanainaker Found to Bo Impraotloable. By the Aisociated I'resa. Washington, Not. 25.—Foatmaster- General Biteell baa submitted to tbe president bia annual report for the year ending June 30, 1894. He briefly out lines the policy ol the department in the following: "In general I would recommend that the firet and most important thing to be done ie to revise tbe law ac to eecond claaa matter bo aa to place the poatoflice department immediately upon a eeli auataining baeis. "Second — Avoid expensive experi ments like the postal telegraph, rnral free delivery, etc. I "Third—Develop the postal service on I existing lines ot administration, viz: I Kit tend free delivery in citiea that now I enjoy it; accord it to towns already en i titled to it under tbe law ; quicken rail* ] road transportation. I "Fourth, revise and reclaaaify the or i ganizationof the railway mail eervice and reciassiiy cierka in poatonices. "Filth, provide for dietrict eupervie i ion of all postal affaire by appointment I of expert postal officials from tbe claesi | fled service, aa recommended in my last j annual report." Mr. these!i liret di.cnesea the effect of tbe continued depreaaiou upon the pos tal revenues, and Buys; "Whea adverse business conditions prevail an ordinary business establish-' ment may overcome them in part by economic management and retrench ment in expenditures. Not to. how ever, wttti the postnffice establishment lof the government. It cannot and should not atop to coneider little econo mies. Its duties and obligations to the publio become intensified and en larged." The revenue for the year was $75,• 080,479; expenditures, $84,324,414, leav ing a deficit of $9,243,935. The estimates submitted for tha cur rent year ending dune 30, 1895, are: : Revenue, $84,427,748; expenditures, $90,399,485; deficiency, $5,701,737. The estimates submitted to the secre tary of the treasury for the next fiscal year are: Revenue, $80,907,407! ex penditures, $91,059,283; deficiency, $4,151,8715. This annual deficiency, the postmas ter general says, could be overcome by the increase of postal ratea, but he does not believe thia advieable. Economy has been practiced, but nevertheless j great care bie been taken that it should not affect the efficiency of the eervice. Tbe economies have consisted mainly ■ iv reletting contracts for mail tranapor ' tation and in the coet and amount of ! supplies, so, also, in tbe abrogation of seven of the 11 steamship subsidy con -1 tracts, which wilt mean.a total saving in the veare ot the contracts' life of $14,431,325. Mr. Bisaell recommenda that the ex periment with the free delivery project should be discontinued, and thinks that iree delivery in rural diatrlcta is not needed or desired by the people. Both iof these projects weie otiginated by hia ! predecessor. He refera to the war made by the department on lottery schemes passing ' under the name of "Bond Investment companies" and says it haa been waged eucceßsfully. He recommends the en actment of laws covered in bills now pending before congress for tbe further suppression ot lotteries. Of the obstruction of mails by strikes, the postmaster general e.-.ys: ; 'To my last report I called attention to the necessity lor legislation such as then was, or ia now recommended by the superintendent of the railway mail , eervice, for the punishment of train ! wreckera, and for legislative determina i tion of the deiiuition of a mail train. I Such legislation would be of great ad vantage to the postal aervice." One of the most important and inter- I esting features of Mr. Bieiell'e report ia , ita discuaeion of class matter. In his j last report lie referred to the great die proporticn to the growth of second claaa , mail matter. He has made a thorough 1 investigation during the year upon ; which he says: "The effect of all this upon my mind | ia a conviction that tbe atatutea and the precedeuta upon which the business now reals are defective; that they embody i the ouly great abuse at present existing |in tho postal service; and that as thia business is growing all tbe time some remedy should be applied" He gives figures for tiie past six years, showing that iv ISBB the weight of second-claßa matter carried w»b 143, --' 000,000 pounds, end in 1893 it wae 250,000,000. During the year 1894 there was carried 451,000,000 pouuds of all ! mail matter, oi which 299,000,000 pcunds w..s second-class matter, the total cost being $30,207,572, au average of 8 tents a pound. Returns i from postJnaßtera show that the amount upon which postage at the rate oi 1 cent '< per pound waa paid waa 254,000,000 I pounds, the remaining 45,000,000 pounda being matter carried free iv tbe ' county of publication. The coet of > carrying tiie aecond class matter was I $20,320,000, while at the rate of 1 cent a pound the collections wore $2,547.» 000, and $800,000 special local ratea in carrier's citiea, leaving a net loss to the government of $10,573,000. Alter giving these figures the post master-general continuee. "This calculation applies tn transport ing alone. The separate cost oi distri ! bution nnd delivery I will not attempt ito estimate, but any one can see that those itema of expenditures would largely swell the loss. "I "do not advocate a change of rates now upon legitimate newspapers and periodical magazines. My purpose ie to urge the withdrawals of the postnge i rates from tbe large citiea, and the pre ! tended periodicals that are now iniprop i erly enjoying tbem. "Ihe most conspicuous class of these periodicals are what are now generally known as social paper covered books. They are in no sense social, however, except in name, being usually given some such general designation as 'The Fireside Series.' 'The Detective Library' or some other title of like character. They are nothing but books pure and simple and many of them very trashy books at that, each one distinct in itself, the bs rieß never being devoted to anything in ! particular, having ' ew subscribers and with no real subscription price. "Another class of publications largely enjoying the low postage accorded to sucuud ..iftss matter is what has col to be LOB \NGELES HERALD MONBAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 26 1894. known as the 'house organ,' being sim ply a paper or pamphlet devoted main IV to the advertising of some mercantile, manufacturing or other establishment, but purporting to be devoted to trade, claiming a bona fide line of subscribers, and nominally conforming to other con ditions of second class matter. "The bogus trade paper, not devoted to tha advertising of any particular houae, i* another illustration of tbe same abuse of tbe maile. "Of great moment in connection wilh the abuse I am discussing is tbe privilege given to publishers of newspapers and magazines—the first beetowal of which waa the act of Marcn 3, 1885, to mail sample copies thereol at tho pound rate of poatage. "But for this too liberal privilege, I am inclined to think tbe very really legitimate trade papers would never have been submitted to the mails aa second class matter." After commenting on tbe great in crease in the mailing of fraternal insur ance publications aa secondclass matter and showing the enormoua increase of them since the act of congress admit ting them, Bistell suggests the remedy in the following: "If it be the policy of congress to con tinue tbe privileges of the sscond-claas ratea to benevolent or fraternal societies, then tbe remedy I would suggest would be an amendment of the Uw limiting this rate to them and to legitimate news papers and legitimate periodical maga zines. "I believe one year'a experience under euob limitations would demon strate all legitimate newspapers and periodical magazines may be transmit ted through our mails from pubiishera into the hands of eubacribera free of all coat."

Moaa and hia companions were standing near the church when Chatham and Brewer approached. Moaa threw hia band to hie hip pocket as if to draw bis revolver, wben Chatham grabbed his hand and Brewer aiso grabbed him. Moss, being a atout and powerful young man, reaisted the officera, when both officers pulled tbeir pistols. They scuf fled with Mobb nntil they reached tbe church door 30 feet away, when Moaa bad succeeded in almost wrench ing Brewer's pistol from his band, and fired at Chatham, bat Brewer knocked tbe pistol and caugbt tbe bullet in hia arm, inflicting a serione wonnd. He then rammed Brewer's pistol into Chatham's breast and pulled the trigger again and again, but Brewer's band caught tbe hammer and the pistol only snapped. By tbia time Chatham had freed hia pistol from Mobs' graap and fired two bnltets into him, killing him instantly. Intense excitement prevailed at the church, and scores oi women fainted.

Seattle, Wash., Noy. 25.—A special to tbe Poet-Intelligencer from Victoria cave that tbe wreckage reported ashore on tbe northwestern end of Vancouver island is tbat of tbe ill-fated Ivanhoa is now proved beyond a doabt, and when the steamer Mischief returns it is more than probable that Captain Foote, ber master, will have definite news of the fate of this long missing vessel. Tbe coasting steamer Maude returned to night from tbe west coast, having gone as far north as Kvukot sound. The weather during the trip was too rongh to psrmit much investigation, and the captain had not heard before starting of tbe reports brought by the steamer Mystery last week. Almost his first words on landing were, however, of the Ivanhoe. "I guess tbere is no further hope for the Ivanhoe," be said. "She's made another ol tbe long list ol vessels bat tered to pieces on tbe west coast of this island. When we were at Barclay sound we heard of ber. Two white miners called last Tuesday at an Indian's bnt i near tbe entrance to the sound and, I hanging on the wall, the first thing they noticed in the place was one of the Ivanboe's life buoys. Tbere waa no doubt as to tbe identity, as the ship's name was clearly marked. Tbey waited for some time for tbe Indians to return so that tbey might question them re garding tbe buoy, but all banda were ' away fishing and tbere waa no 1 knowing whan they would be back. Tbe men looked around bat could see no other signs of wreckage, so tbey came down and reported what they bad seen to tn;, requesting tbat I make known the faot on reaching port. Aa a large number of Indians along Barclay sound juat now have recently arrived from farther np the coast, it is most likely tbat the Ivanhoe'a buoy had neeu brought down from Kyukot or Cape Scolt. I had not heard of the wreckage found there as reported by the steamer Mystery's engineer, but tbie would ap pear to corroborate it and settle its identiy as that ol the Ivanhoe." Ootrol Hints In Italy. Rome, Nov. 25.—The town of Alatri, in tbe province of Rome, was the scene today ot a riot similar to tbe one that occurred at Ruta and growing out oi tbe came cavee — tbe impoaition of octroi dutiea.

In bia sermon Biahop McQunid said that iv his 47 yeara ot prieathood he had never put bimeelf under obligations to any political party, for 27 years be bad never cast a vote, out ol anxiety not to put in any man'a political power to cay that he had voted for one party or the other. Following is an abstract of the sermon: "Having said tbia maob by way of preface, I will now advert to tbe late Miami ni whicb cauaed tbese remarks. Every Catholic having respect lor hia biahopa nnd prieata and the honor and cond fnma nf his church must have bssn pained and mortified wben he learned during the late political campaign that ouo of our bishops, tbe arcbbiehop of St. Paul, cast to one aide the tra ditions of the past and entered th* political arena like any layman. The newspapers were careful to keep the public duly informed of hia arrival in New York before election ; of hia ap pearance on tbe pialform at ratification meetinga, surrounded bj the leaders of tbe Republican party ; of his viewa on pol tical questions strongly expressed through interviews carefully prepared for the presß, and of bio mingling in a crowd of excited politicions.and parti sans on the nignt of the olection. "I contend that this coming to New York of the arohbishop of St. Paul to take a part in apolitical contest, was undignified, disgraceful to his episcopal oflice and a scandal in the eyes of all right-minded Catholics of both parties. It was furthermore a piece ol meddle some interference on hia part to come from his state to another, break down all diecipline among our priests and justify the charges of those Mimical to ua that priests are partisans and nae their offices and opportunities for political work. "If Archbishop Ireland bad made himself aa conepicuona iv favor ol the Democratic party, he would be juat as blameworthy in my eatimation. If his conduct waa not censured, it would not be possible for me to restrain the prieata cf this diocsee from imitating bis ex ample and descend from the pulpit to tbo political platform and marshaling tbeir parishonera up to the polls on the day oi election. Not one of them but haa an equal right with hie grace of St. Paul to turn electioneering againat one party or another and absent himael! from tbe parish aa did the archbishop. 'Tt is no excuse to cay the archbishop waa working in the intereat of good government. Kvery other clerical as pirant to political distinction would aay the same thing. New York is abundant ly able to take care of itself without ex traneous help, ac tbe late election ehowed, and if the newepapers report correctly, the legislature of Mlnneaota ia aadly in need ' purification, and his grace might inn fouud full scope for his political scheming and skill right at home, if politician he would be. "But it is well kjown to many that it was not tbe love of good government tbat kept Archbishop Ireland co many weeks in New York City, and so far from hia diocese, where the law of resi dence obliged him to be. it waa to pay a debt to the Republican party that hia aervicea were rendered. Dur ing the laat aeaaion of tbe New York legislature Archbishop Ireland busied bimeelf writing lettera to Republican leaders in favor of tbe candidacy of Rev. Moloney for tbe position of re gent of tbe university. "It was none of this archbishop's bus iness to meddle with bueinoss that did not concern him. He knew that the archbishop of New. York and his euf frangants desired the election of a can didate able and willing to protect the beat interests of tbe Catholic schools and academies coming under control of tbe regents. They knew the prieat who bad declared that if he could he would wipe out every parochial school and tbat tbe time had come for the state to turn down the church in money matters, was no fit representative of the Catholic body. "Fortunately, since the vtßit of the apostolic delegate to New York, his ex cellency, Archbishop Corrigan, has learned that the holy see hue no truer son or more devoted adherent, no bishop sounder in the failh that noeda no ex planation than tbe arcbbiehop of New York. His loyalty ia of tbe heart and on principle, yet strange to say, this clorical clique has contrived to make many believe that the archbishop of New York is antagonizing tbo apostolic delegate, in the first place, and in the second, in alliance with Tammany I lull. The two calumnies are persistently repeated until Catholics am annoyed and grieved and Catholics believe tbat charges emanating from Catholics must have some foundation in fact." LAKULKSB GUNNING.

A gentleman, recently returned from a visit to tho lndluns of the Onondaga reser vation In t.iis state, said the other day: "I wns surprised to find tlie women of tha nation held In auoh high esteom. My pre conceived notion of tho Indian aquaw waa that she is tbo drudge and slave of her lazy, Heinihiirbaroiis muster, and that aha Is In no way honored by the males of hey raco. This is tho ruse, lam told, With most tribes of the American red men. hn% it was never so with the nations of tha Iroquois confederacy. In fact, the women were hold In »o high regard by the Iro quois Hint thoy were spoken of as a people ruled by woman. "This peculiarity Is evidenced in their lifo today, It ia truo that there isn't much work dona by any of the Indians, but the men do most of whut is done, tbe aquaw only being called on to attend to her household duties. Tho superiority of the squaw to the buck is shown in ths fact that tho chlb' -" ■ according to the custom of tho Iroqu--, belong to the family or nation of their mother. If a Seneca In dian marries an Ouondnga squaw and they havo children, the latter are Onon dagos, and should the father be of the family of the Wolf and the mother of the Snipe clan tho children are Snipes. It Is as If John Smith married Mary Jones and a child of the marriage was named John Jouos. Another indication of tho superiority of the squaw is shown in the Indian manner of speaking of a man and a woman. In Kngllsh they habitually re fer to'her and him' na doing something, being soniowl*-ro or saying something. Possibly they are more grammatical, in tho nee of thoir own dialect."—New York Sun. Women Who Help Their Husband*. Tho remark of Oliver Wendell Holmea to tho effect that literary men often play the part of great, Imposing, beautiful ships, while sonic busy little tug of a wifo Is pulling thorn along und not being much admired for it, is exemplified In numerous literary men of the present. Thomas Hardy was debating whether to lie an architect or to write tho greatest novels of tho ago and was decided in favor of at tempting the latter by his wife. She ia his amanuensis and took tho burden upon herself of copying his first novel nnd send ing it out herself. She keeps herself in touch with the literature of tho day much more thoroughly than hor husband docs, and lie relics upon her to keep him posted on nil possible subjects. Mrs. Kidcr Iluggurd ia another womnn who is Invaluable to her husband In every way. It is not only her duty to read mid. criticise every Word ho writes brforo it is submitted to n publisher, but she Is equal ly one with him In nil his oocupntions, and rides und tramps nliout tho country with him as tirelessly ns any man could. To Mrs. Oscar Wildo has fallen tho lot of be ing an exemplification of her husband's aesthetic doctrines, wearing tho draperies and colors of his choice, creating tho "at mosphere" in which tho erratic genius could work nnd generally impreaslng the publio.—Pittabttrg Times.
