Our postoffl. e department is in k«kkI condi-
tion and the exhibit made of its operations
during the fiscal year ended June 3o ls-Ji ,
If allowance is made tor Imperfections In
the laws applicable t-> it is very satistac-
torv. The total receipts during the year
were *HJ,49U '20« 40 The total expendltureM

roads tor transportation and credited on
then debt to the government. There was
an increase of receipts over the previous
year of lA.oltvtwu.-jl, or 7.1 per cent and an
increase * f expenditures of h:P'. U4.0J or
4.43 pet cent. The deficit was H.r.T'J u; o. I'J
less than that of the preceding war. The
chief expenditures of the pistal service are
regulated by law and are not in the control
of the postmaster general.
The deficit for the last year. r. though
much le* than that of the last and | reced-
ing years, emphasizes the necessity tor leg-
islation to correct the growing abuse of
•econd-class rates to which the deficit is
mainly attributable. The transmission at

"house" or institution), sample copies and

The condition of affairs among the five
civilised tribes wh«. occupy large tracts of
land in the Indian Territory, and who have
governments of their ow n. has assumed such
an asspect as to render it almost .;utis|K*ns-
Ible that there should Ik- an entire change
in the relations of these Indians to Ihe gen-
eral government This seems to be neces-
sary in furtherance of their own interests
as well as for the protection of non-Indian
residents in their territory. A commission
)rganlzed and empowered under several
recent laws is now negotiating with these
ndlans for the relinquishment of their
kwun.1 4im iue division of their common
lands in severaltv and aiding in the settle-
ment of the trouble-ome question of tribal
membership. The reception of their tirt
proffers of negotion, was not encouraging,
but through patience and such conduct < r*
their part as demonstrated that their inten-
tions were friendly and in the interest of
the best, prospect of su< cess has become
more promising. The efforts should l e to
save the Indlr.ns from the consequences of
tfceir own mistakes and improvidence and
to secure to the real Indian his rights as
against intruders and professed friends who
profit by his retrogression.
A change is also needed to protect lite and
property through the operations of courts
conducted according to strict Justice and
strong enough to enforce their mandates,
ys a sincere friend of the Indian I am ex-
ceedingly anxious that these reforms should
l>e accomplished w ith the consent and aid of
the tribes and that no necessity may be pre-
sented tor radical or drastic legislation. I

operation ot these metrodi shbuM lie made
to understand that the non-partisan scheme
through which they receive their appoint-
ments demands from them, by w ay of re-
ciprocity. non-partisan and faithful per-
formance of duty under every administra-
tion. and cheerful fidelity to every chief.
While they should be encouraged to de-
cently exercise their rights of citizenship
and to upport through their suffrages the
political beliefs they honestly profess, the
noisy, persistent and partisan employe, who
loves political turmoil and contention, or
who renders lax and grudging service to an
administration not representing his political
views, xhould be promptly and fearlessly
dealt with in such a way as to furnish a
warning toothers who may be likewise dis-
posed.
tmk tariff law.
I desire to recur to the statements else-
where made < oncernlng the government's
receipts and expenditures for "the purpose
ot venturing upon some suggestions touch-
ing our present tariff law and its operation.
This statute took effect on the 2«th day of
August. 1 'J4. Whatever may be its short-
comings as a complete measure of tariff
reform, it must be conceded that it has
opened the way to a freer and greater ex-
change of commodities between us and other
countries, and thus furnished a wider mar-
ket for our products and manufactures.
The only entire year during which this
law has been In fori •• ended on the : • t i day
of June 1896. In that year our Imports in-
creased over those of the previous year
more than W.&OO• h . while the value of the
domestic produ s we exported and which
found markets abroad was nearly ♦7(Ms*i..
000 more than during the preceding year.
Those who Insist that the cost to our ih.-o-
nlt of articles coming to them fi nn abroad
for their needful use should onl> lie in-
creased through tarifl changes to an extent
necessary to meet the ex|>enses of the gov-
ernment. as well as those who claim that
tariff charges may l e laid upon such articles
lieyond the necessities of g ivmment
revenue, and with the additional purpose of
increasing their price in our markets is
to give American manufacturers and pr.w
rs better and more profitable opportu-
nities. must agree that our tariff laws are
only primarily justified as sources of revenue
to enable the government to meet the neces-
sary expenses of its maintenance t'. iisid-
ered as to its sifm. ien. \ In this aspect the
present law can by no means fall under just
ondemnation. During the only complete
fiscal year o? Its operation it has yielded
only fM tmo.OOO more revenue than was re-
from tariff duties in the pre. e.iing
There was. nevertheless, .1 nehcit l>e-
tween our receipts and expenses of a little
more than fJYOtW.OOO. This, however, was
not unexpected.
The situation was such on December lasi.
•ven months before the close of the fiscal
ear. that the secretary of the treasury
foretold a deficiency of 117,t*mi.immi. The
great and Increasing apprehension and
timldltv In business circles and the depres-
sion in all activities intervening since that
time resulting from causes |>erfe, tlv well
understood ana entirely ditconnet tea with
our tariff law or operation seriously checked
the imports we would have otherwise re-
ceived and readily account for the differ-
ence between thls'estlmate of the secretary
and the actual deficiency as well as for a
continued deficit.
Indeed, it must be confessed that we couiu
hardly have had a more unfavoi .1 riod
than the last two years for the collection ot
tariff revenue We cannot reas naln/hop-
lhat our recuperation from the business ;«•.
pression will l e sudden, but it has already
set in with a promise of acceleration and
continuance. I believe our present tariff
law. it allowed a fair opportunity, will in the
near future yield a revenue which, with
reasonably econ. mical expenditures will
overcome all deficiencies
In the meantime no deficit that has in-
curred or may occur need excite or disturb
us. T« meet any such deficit we have in th.
treasury, in addition to the gold reserve of
♦10iuh.hunmi. a surplus of more than m J- -
OtMi.thm 1 applicable to ]>ayinent <>t the ex-
jtenses of the government, and which must,
unless exjiended for that purpose, remain a
useless hoard, or. If not extravagantly
w asted, must in any event l>e perverted from
the purjtose of its exaction from our peo-
ple the payment, therefore of any defl-
cietii > in the revenue from this fund is
nothing more than Its proper and legitimate
usi It is Immeasurably better to appropri-
ate our surplus to the payment of tustiflahle
expenses than to allow it to become .m iuvi-
•.,11 n I.. rt-.YW .ippr"pn.itl"ii aiul is-
ti a*agant expenditures.
I suitjM.se It will not be denied that under
the present law our people obtain the ne- es-
saries of a comfortable existence at a
cheajier rate than formerlv. This 1- a mat-

TKI *TA.
Another topic in which our people right-
tully take a deep interest may be here
briefly considered. 1 refer to the expanse of
trusts and other huge aggregations of capi-
tal. the object of w hich Is to secure the mo-
il. .j oiv of some particular branch of trade,
industi . r commerce, and to stifle whole*
.petition. When these are defended
it gs . . [5 on the ground that though they
increase profits, they also reduce prices and
thus ma« Iteneflt the public. It must be re-
uienib ed. however, that a reduction of
prices to the jteoplc Is not one of the
real objects of these organizations,
nor is their tendency necessarily in that
direction, if it occurs in a particular case
it is only because It ai ords with the pur-
IMises or interests ot those managing their
ochetne. Such occasional results fall short
ot composing the palpable evils charged to
the . cunt of trusts and monopolies. Their
tenden \ is to crush out individual inde-
pendence anil to hinder and to prevent the
free use of human faculties and the full de-
velopment of human character.
Though Congress has attempted to deal
with this matter by legislation, the laws
passed for that purpose thus far have
proved ineffective, not because of any lack of
cHsi>osition or attempt to enforce them but
simply because the laws themselves as In-
terp'vt'.l by the courts do not reach the
dlrtit It the insufficiencies of existing
laws remedied by further legislation,

that all federal legislation

INCOMPETENT POLICE.
St. I.ouis f liable to Cope With the Lnw-
less C'haraetera.
Sr. Lot is. Mo.. Dee. 8.—The rumors
that the police department may be re-
organized seem justified entirely aside
from political reasons. Despite the al"
leged extra vigilance of the officers,
burglaries happen every night in ail
sections of the city, and the police
seem totally unable to cope with the
thieves. Not an arrest has been made
where the evidence has been sufficient
to convict anyone.
Several more burglaries were report-
ed to-day. Saturday night Mrs. Hanna
Mcliuire, a tnusic teacher, living at
3109 Hrandner place, was sandbagged
and left unconscious in the gutter on
Thomas street, a few feet from its
junction vnfli Easton avenue. This is
in the heart of the West End residence
section.
