Nov. 8 $ . The postnmstcr
pcnoral In his annual report shows that In tlio
past year over 4JOO.OOJ has been saved on
jmUtlcard contr.icts. The cards though In
ferior at ilrst wore autckly brought up to tlio
required standard. Four hundred thousnnd
dollars were saved lu stiitn | > ed envelopes con
tracts ami $ ' 00,000 on certain mull carrying.
.Attho.samotlmo tlio mull routtn huvo been
extended over almost two million miles of
railway , steanibo.it and staijo lines , Tlio
Kross revenue was nearly ? 'i,000OOU largef
thnn over before. Almost ilvo thousand now
jwstonices moro than In any ono year before ,
liavo been csUbllahed upon petitions or com
mittees. Substation nnil stamp apcnelos
ncrvicc , the railway postofllco service , thu
fieo delivery and other matters have been
( { really extended during tno year. The Stai
louUi milt-ago was IncrcaspJ over Ilvo nilllicn
Julius and thu railroad mileage over cloven
millions , v.
The work of the dead letter office has been
ircatly ; reduced durinetho year.
Touching on the postal telegraph schciiie ,
Ilic postmaster general says :
"Tho swiftest mains not fast enough In
these Jays for all the needs of commerce and
hoclnl correspondence. In one form or anothei
iho public Imperatively dutnainls cheaper
telegraphy and the poHtofllco department can
biipply it at losi cost thnn any corporation ,
unless thu hitter lias runt , light , fuel , carrier !
und clerks free. "
The plan proposed for postal telegraph in <
volvcs no outlay of money , no appointment ol
rlcrlcs , no financial liability. It is surely en
titled to fair consideration.
Under the head "A New Plan for I'osta !
Having ) ! Banks"1 the icporl recommends thai
the postolllco department bo authorized tc
establish postal saving banks under regu
lations formulated by the postmaster general.
.These are to bo located In states having nc
lawa regulating savings banks : In an.v
other state upon the petition of a eonsldera
Mo number of residents of any ono locality ;
Olid , not nioro numerously than ono postollli-c
Jor cx'cry ten miles of nrcn , the Interest rate
to bo llxod by the secretary of the tro.isury
at tlio beginning of each year and to bo one-
Jmlf of 1 per cent less than tlio average rate
p.ild depositors by private bankers : all the
JKJstnl savings received within a state to be
placed on deposit with the national banks
of that stata on application , la such amount
inul at such Interest as the secretary of the
treasury prescribes ; such deposits to bo do
dared preferred claims.
Touching the anti-lottery act the rcporl
says the proaa has aided the department by i
very general approval , and the puul o nl
large has socoiulcd its cffprts to niako tin
jiow law offoetivo.
The report shows 14,072 postmasters removed -
moved during the past two years and ' . ' 0GSJ (
tappointed In the same time.
Tlio postmaster general hopes the xvaj
may bo seen clear to connect the executlvi
departments and senate and house with ttu
Washington postoQico by a pncumntiosystcn
mid that it may bo then extended to sub-sta
tlons mid postoniccs of the largo cities , lit.
would specially llko to see the pneumatic
Bystom working perfectly in Chicago when
the world's fair Is in progress , so that tin
postal exhibit there would really show this
Iilgh development of the service. Ho favors ,
Vrhorcvor practicable , one-story , inexpensive
iiulUUngs for jwstofllce , and says that tr
jnovo out of a 000 rented room.'safo am
'nrapjlo for postal business , into a $100UX (
Imlldinf , ' , where tlio Janitor alone gets mori
salary than the rent of the former place , can
iiot be Instilled on any business principle.
Regarding reduced postage the nosliiinstei
Koncral says , In pnrt , "In point of fajt then
Is'a ' clear ijain of nearlv $ ' { 0,000,000 from
letter postage. This largo profit will
the uimuul dollclt ( whih : last year ainountod

( WO.IXX ) . The deficiency for the current yoai
is about ? l 500,000 , which would make tin
total dcllclenoy fiJ.GOO.iKK . ) . This dcliclcncj
'Would ' bo reduced by the natural Increase o
business duo to the stimulus of the low rat <
and by completion of pending legislation t <
collect proper postage from sample copies o
to-called newspapers and from paper covorct
books. By sninplo copy business alone pve
61,000,001) is annually lost to the revenue am
la the transportation of paper covered book :
considerably moro than if 1,000.000 is kept ou
of the postal income for the bcuciit o
certain book publishers. The dellcienc ;
'
under the 1-ceut rate might bo still furthe'
reduced by the adoption of Improved device ;
from tiniu to time which would save tinn
find money. The most formidable item , how
ever , U $8,000,000 worth of work perforn.ei
bnnually , without pay , for the executive de
partincnts , If they had paid postage th
revenues would have been 3,000,000 moro an

The revenues of the department for th
JKcal year were { 110,853,783 : expenditures am

niiHlncpS.Outlook Is Not Improved.
NKW YonK , Nov. 2S. [ Spociul Telegram to
Tun BIT.U. . d. Dun & Co.'s ' Weekly Ho-
view of Trade says :
The past broken week has not Improved
the business outlook. The illfilculty of ob
taining commercial loans Increase , not hero
only , but nt most other point * . Hanks and
other lenders , from the largest to the small
est , nppcar to have been Induced by the
recent events to strengthen themselves.
Merchants have grown moro cautious about
extending obligations or making purchases
which c.in bo deferred , apprehending that re
tail buying may bo' cut down somewhat by
the reduced ability of MWIO consumers and by
the disposition of ether * to coomonlzo la view
of thu extensively reported advance in prices ,
Meanwhile speculation has been reviving to
tin unhcalthv extent , in some directions on the
theory that troubles nro over and things will
improve. The money tnurkots are thus
loaded with Increased demands for carrying
securities mid products at n limn when trade
especially needs moro liberal supplies. At
most of the interior markets money grows
moro stilngcnt and the scarcity begins to ef
fect t ratio at Important center.- ? , though the
volume of business Is still very largo.
Boston reports extreme firmness and a high
rate S per cent even between banks. Trail
ers affected and most branches arequlot.
Cleveland notes un aotlvo demand for money
and u tight m.irket , though collections nro ro-
inarkahly satisfactory. At Detroit the de
mand is strong nt 7 per cent : colder weather
helping trade hero and at Milwaukee , whore
money is very active , manufacturers asking
largely at 7 netcent. . At St. Paul it is easier
and the feeling hotter , but bank failures nt
JJuluth cause some uneasiness. Cincinnati
reports n close market , though collections are
very fair mid ( tales hnvo exceeded last fall's.
At ICnnsas City the supply of money is close ,
trade and collections being healthy. Money
Is quiet nt PlttHburg at 0 to per cent , but
Bessemer steel is CO cents less and the de
mand for finished iron smaller.
Southern reports ure Iras encouraging.
Money Is In sharp demand at New Oilcans ,
the movement of sugar being unprecedented ;
exceedingly tight at Savannah , with com-
inerclul prospects less bright ; moro timid nt
Atlanta , though holiday trade opens witli
good feeling , uud In western Hocld.i u short
corn crop and embarrassment of merchants
cloud thu piospects ; but at Baltimore money
is easy , manufactures easy and retail trade
Improved , thoiurh Jobbing trade slackens.
The situation of the great Industries is less
clear. The week has been one of peculiar
dullness In the iron tr.-uto and the tone Is
weaker. There is apprehension of forced
sales by southern f tirnaces , und ono largo
transaction at $10 fur gray forgo Is reported
at Birmingham. Ball purchasers hold olT
and theio is n visible decrease- orders for
finished products.
lint the speculative markets have been ad
vancing. Wheat has ilsen OJ4 cents , corn
J'fc ' and oats -Hi cents : lard 15 cents per 100
pounds , and coffee a quarter , pork being un
changed , and oil 10 cunts lower. Cotton has
also yielded a sixteenth , In view of crop pros
pects. The rise In bread-stuffs has no in
creased foreign demand to Justify It , but
operators seem to have concluded that the
monetary difficulties nro all over and that
they can carry all the grain until Kuropo Is
forced lo buy.
Tiu has advanced to 20.70 cents , but copper
anil lead are ashado weaker.
Thu coal market has boon dull and disap
pointing , actual sales being mainly at Sep
tember prices and stocks accumulating.
The treasury has not been able to plvo any
assistance to the money market during the
past week , but has i > iu out ? 1,000,000 more
silver notes , nearly balancing net with
drawals of $1SOUOJO of other money from
circulation.
The merchandise exports from this country
largely exceed Imports , though nt Now

but : i'if per cent larger than last year auit the
Imports hero U percent larger.
The business failures occurring through

verdict of accidental death by being struck
by a car or engine. Young Ccirlson had uccu
homo on a visit to his mother , who lives on a
farm near Molngona. There is strong suspi

death mav have resulted from a blow by some
person who killed him for the money ho Is
supposed to have had. The blow which
caused his death fractured the skull , the bone
being driven In as if It bad been struck wltli

Government.
The republican primaries to select candi
dates for ward councllmoiivero held yestcr-
ihiy ,
In mnnv respects It was one of the most ex
citing prlnury elections over held lu the city.
Tbo leaders of the present infamous council
combine were scoUltitf ronomlnatlon , nnd the
corporations which have fattened by the
combine rule rallied to the support of the
combine champions with the result us shown
below I
First Ward Ono hundred and sixty-live
votes were tast In the First ward for McCoy.
There was no other ticket in the Held.
Second \Vnrd-M. II. Hedlleld got ninety-
two , and H. liny ono vote in the Second
ward.
Third AVnrd There was no competition
worthy of note in this ward. Sol Prlnco
early took the lead nnd retained it until the
close , rceclvniir ii'M ' votes , while his competitor
titer , Mu. W. II. Musser , received 7 votes.
Fourth Ward The division of the opposi
tion vote and the untiring efforts of the cor
poration ward workers gave Samuel H.
wheeler the republican nomination in the
Fourth ward.
Wheeler had the best of the fight from the
first. He had the election oftlcers , headed by
A. P , Nicholaswho placed every Impediment
in the way of voters who wore- not armed
with Wheeler ballots , But Wheeler hud
mure thnn this. IIo had the support of the
city corporations nnd contractors , nnd city
ofllclals and employes ,
A. It. Hunt , superintendent of the Ameri
can waterworks company , Is a democrat and
lives In the Fifth ward , but these faeU did
not prevent him taking nn nctivo hand in
Wheeler's behalf , IIo ludrustriously peddled
Wheeler tickets nnd championed the cause of
the council's ' "watchdog" for nil ho was
worth. 1' . W. Blrkhnuser , the democratic
chairman of the board of public works , lives
In the Seventh ward , but ho made frequent
visits to the Fourth ward polls and encour
aged the supporters of Wheeler. Frank H.
Morrlssoy , the democratic sanitary commis
sioner , was nn nctivo Wheeler worker.
Wheeler lias agreed to help hold Morrlsoy in
olllco in face of the unfavorable report of the
committee appointed to investigate Morris-
soy's management of his oflice. Morrlssoy
acoordlncly worked for Wheeler's return.
Henry Dunn , who is drawing pay from the
city as a plumblnp inspector , put in a full
day In Wheeler's interest , as did nlso M.
Mullen of the city clerlt's ollk-e. The super
intendent of plumbing , Major Dennis , also
visited the ward and encouraged the Wheeler
workers. Dennis is a democrat and
lives In the Seventh ward. Tom
Dermlnghnm , the democratic sidewalk inspector
specter , was also present and did what ho
could for AVhi'cler. Ex-Mayor Uroatch was
a frequent visitor and worked his Jaw in be
half of Ills chief lieutenant , of the Twenty-
nightclub.
On the other hand , Konnard nnd Duncan
were without the support of the leading ic-
nubllc.ms of the ward who have been howl
ing about their opposition to Wheeler nnd his
combine methods and record. They had to
fight their own battles , aided by a few true
republicans , The result of such a contest
smild only bo favorable to tbo combine. The
opposition to Wheeler cast Jilll of the 518
votes polled , but the division of this vote
among three candidates gave Wheeler tbo
nomination. The vote was as follows :
Wheeler 20.-
Kennaril 100
Duncan 117
Christcnsen 0
Fifth Ward The fight In the Fifth ward
was controlled by the rmnbino nnd boodlers.
Gangs of repeaters wore successfully voted ,
and the Twenty-eight strikers , Hlg John
McDonald nnd George Klllott , superintended
the deal In the Interests of W. A. Saunders ,
who had been carefully groomed for the race
by the council combine. Wagon loads of
colored voters were run In from the Third
ward and voted for S.iundcrs in spite of tbo
vigorous protests of the other candidates mid
their friends. The combine heelers nad It
all their own way , and curried things with a
hich hand. Henchmen from other wards
wore on bund and worked vigorously at tbo
polls all day boomlnR Saunders. Tno com
bine was nlso well represented on the elec
tion board , controlling two of the three mem
bers. C. L. Wilkins , as ono of the judges ,
played his usual role of obstructionist in
their behalf , and after the polls were closc-d
delayed the count nearly two hours by in
sisting on counting every vote himself , to be
sure that every combine ballot was
given full prominence. Ono 8101103- .
another combine favorite , was pressed
in for duty as clerk of election ,
but when it came to counting the votes was
so drunk that the other members of the board
found it .necessary to unceremoniously dump
him out of the back door after wrangling for
half an hour.

There was much dissatisfaction over the
result , and scores of influential republicans
vowed that they would vote the democratic
ticket if smncr capable aud straightforward

maries today.
Sixth Ward During the entire day n lurgo
and excited crowd continued about the polls
from the time of the opening until the vote
was counted. The sewer pangs were voted
for Bay , and an attcmdt was made to run In
a gang of twoaty-ono men from

Uoeder's friends stated late last night that
ho would run on iho Independent ticket.
This ward was perhaps the liveliest of all.
In fact , more people gathered nt this polls
yesterday than at the Ust presidential elec

Uoedcr voters early in the light , and during
the first hour only two ballots were cast.
This sort of bulldozing on the part of Chuf-
fco men was l < cpt up all day.
In the ICighth ward the light waxed warm
toward the closing hour nnd the votes were
rolled in at n rapid rate. A lurpo gang of
men from the street ear barn were led to the
polls and the party in charge ot the gang saw
that every man voted for Black. A crowd of
graders from the camp m the western part of
the Ninth ward was brought to the
polls In wagons mm all attempted
to vote , but were challenged and
the votes refused. There were numerous
attempts nt illegal voting. One man who
was challenged admitted that ho lived at
Sixth nnd Miwon streets , and others stated
that they lived in other wards , The feeling
run high nnd a number of lights were throat *

"The steeple ought to go , " wni an
opinion given by a Christian neophyte
while looking at the picture of now
churches xvith lofty stouplod in the Now
York Sun. "If all the money , " ho said ,
"that is wasted in building useless stee
ples , wore devoted to the propagation of
the gospel among tlio heathen , wo would
have a heavy fund for missionary pur
posed. The steeples on the churches of
Ko\v York cost millions of dollars , art !
what -benefit are they to religion ? If
'
bolls are needed nowa'days , when every
body bus a clock or watch , they can bo
put on the top of the church , aiid it is
ab urd to say that steeples point the way
to heaven. Did the Greeks put steeples
on their temples ? Wo ought to build
no more steeples said the Christian
neophyte.
