Growth Of The Postal Service

The growth of the postal service in the past three years has been something rernarkable. The number of new offices added to this list from March 4, 1889, to March 4, 1892, was 10,549. The revenue in those three years increased over $40,000,000. Even in the matter of receipts from registry letters the f ees increased a half million dollars. In these three years there has been over 54,000,000 miles of railroad, steamship and star service, but at lower rates than before. The increase in receipts of the past three years was more than doublé the increase in the three years preceding. These new political moveuients in the states and the recent decisions of sonie of the state courts agalnst unfair apportioimient la-vs encourage the hope that the arbitrary and partisau clection laws and practices whlch have prevailed may be corrected by the states, the laws made equal and nonpartisan, and the elections free and honest. The Kepublican party would rejoice at snch a solution. - Harrison's Letter of Acceptance.
