THE FREE DELIVERY SYSTEM The Wholesale Discharge of Democrats Condemned. Washington, Nov. 28.—The following abstract of the annual re-port of Postmaster General Bissell was given out today. The deficien-cy for the year ended June 30, 1893, was $5,177,171 instead of $1 ,552,423 as estimated by Mr. Wanamaker, and instead of a sur-plus of $872,245 for the current fiscal year as estimated by Mr. Wanamaker, there will be an esti-mated defioit of $7,830,473. The estimated gross revenue for the fis-cal year ending June 30, $84,427,- 748;gross expenditures $90,399,485, leaving an estimated deficiency of $5,971,736. There are now 610 free delivery offices. After a thorough trial of two and a half years, the experi-ments in free delivery tried in 460 towns of populations ranging from 900 to 4000, have not proved the desirability of establishing the sys-tern generally, which the postmaster general estimates would necessitate an-annual outlay of $10 000,000. The appropriation of $10,000 for the trial of rural free delivery was inadequate for a fair test and iha plan is not approved. Under the order of April last postmasters tave been held so strictly accountable for the timq of their carriers that the making of overtime has practically oeased. He suggests that postal notes be abolished and rates charged for all domestic money orders be reduced and form of order simplified. Great improvement is noticeable in the star, railroad and steamboat transportation service, length of the routes being 453,632 miles. The postmaster general states that his desire is that wherever the general service oan be advanced, use will be made .of rapid transit, city and subarban car lines. He urges such legislation as will provide a reasonable amount to be paid the widows and minor childaen of railway mail clerks killed while on duty and estimates that $20,000 annually will be sufficient for the purpose. Regarding the ocean mail subsidy, the postmaster general says he is unable to ascertain any positive advantages accrued from either a mail or commercial point of view by reason of the contracts thus far put in operation under the act of Maroh 3, 1891, and therefore no new eon-tracts have been entered into. There has been a marked inorease in the speoial delivery business. The entire number of such pieces of matter delivered is 3,375,693, an increase over last year’s business of 22 per cent. The department carried last year 301,000,000 pounds of second-class matter, an increase of 14 per oent. Concerning this, while Wana-maker estimated the profits from the sale of Columbian stamps to be $2,500,000, Mr. Bissell’s estimate is only $1,000,000. On JuLe 30, 1893, there were 68,403 postoffices in the United States, an increase of 1284 over the previous year. There are 3360 presidential postoffices, a net in-crease of 163. The postmaster general devotes considerable space to the discussion of civil service reforms. There are 28,324 employes in the classified civil service in the post office estab-lisbment of the government. He makes special comment on the wholesale removal of Democratic clerks in the railway mail service at the beginning of the last adminis tration. The important rule estab-lished by Mr. Bissell that fourth class postmasters shall not be re moved before the expiration of the four years of incumbency, unless for cause shown, will, he thinks, have a tendency to dignify the office by placing it on a par with presi-dential offices as to tenure. Mr. Bissell makes speoial men-tion of the needs of ten of the largest postoffices of the oountry, to-wit: New York, Chioago, Phila delphia, Boston, St. Louis, Cinoin-rati, Brooklyn, San Franoisco, Bsl-timore and Pittsburg, which yield one-third of the total revenues and recommends that these offices be placed in a olass by themselves and appropriations made for them by oengress direct without the inter-vention of rules and methods prop-erly applicable to other postcffioes. Probably the most important order made iS the one which de-dares that postmasters shall devote their time to the duties of their office. In this connection, he states that the time has passed when post-office appointments should be held as a political sinecure. Security of registered mail is shown by the fact that of 16,533,376 pieces oarried during the year the actual loss found in only 1346 oases of the 3923 oomplaints investigated. COMMENDING COKE. Chairman Hill says he Repre-sented Texas Properly. Special to the News. Gilmke, Tex., Nov. 29.—The following is a oopy of a letter sent Senator Coke: Hon. Richard Coke: In representing, as I believe it to be, the true and expres ed senti-ments of the Upshur County Demo oracy, I heartily congratulate you upon your able i fforts and faithful-ness to the Democracy of our nation during the late congress, in your unoeasing attempts to carry into effect a measure, that we must pre-sume would relieve the masses of our country of the present and growing financial depression. Hop-ing that the fight may continue, and that you and others who have stood by your pledges to the people, may yet be crowned with success, I am as ever yours, J. B. Hill, Chairman, Upshur County Demo cratic Executive Committee. Gilmer, Tex., Nov. 23. NOT THANKFUL. Twelve Men, Good and True, Who are Not Raising Joyful Voices. There are twelve men in town to-day who do not feel in a very thank ful tnood, and whose hearts and voices are not raising in praise. They are A. B. R. Ball. Ollie Buchanan, G. W. Chum- ey, Miller Moore, Frank Lockwood, E. D Russell. J. C. J. King, Jr., Jno. F. Herbert, P. A. Allen, M. D Smith, P. S. Sparks and A. K. Brown The whyness of their want of thankfulness is found , in the faot that they are on the Kone- McCay jury, and occupying such a position must be kept together, un-der the watchful eye of the bailiff. They were impannelled yesterday afternoon and didn’t get started ‘in the case, but they were subjeot-ed to the rale that keeps juries in criminal cases together, and so they refuse to shout.

ANOTHER , Mammoth Shipment of Ladies’, Men’s and Children’s Shoes Just Received. SLEEPER, CLIFTON & DUKE. A Popular Couple Married. Yesterday evening at 7:30 at the lovely home of Mrs. F. Wetbery, on Paik avenue, amid sweet strains of music and beautiful flowers, Mr. Gary. Little, of Reagan, was united in holy bonds of matrimony to Miss E. B. Baeknor, of Carthage, Illinois, by Rev. J. H. Cockrell, of Reagan. No oards were issued; none but immediate relatives and a few friends witnessed the happy event. Miss Buoknor is regarded as one of the loveliest, most accomplished and popular young ladies who ever brightened Carthage society. During her visit to relatives here, though brief, she has won many friends. Mr. Little, whom the gods have blessed with the companionship of one so fair and oharming, isNme of Falls county’s leading young men. He is manager of Jones & Robin-son’s extensive farming interests near Reagan. He is popular, clever and has a legion of friends who unite in wishing for him and his bride, all the joy and sunshine that marital life can possibly bestow. The floral decorations of the parlors were tasteful and beautiful, consist-ing of hot house flowers and plants and Christmas evergreens, mistletoe and berries. Similar decorations lent their charm to the dining room, where a sumptuous repast was spread, to which the party were in-vited. To the admiraole tact and skill of the hospitable hostess and her daughter are due the success and -enjoyment of the evening by the whole party, and each depart-iDg guost bore with them happy memories of the gracious enter-tainers. Very respectfully, Jno. B. Thornton, 1513 South Fourth Street, Waco, Texas. SUBSCRIBERS NOTICE.
