POSTAL CARDS.
Two Nsw and Handsome Six* An Now
Heady For Cm
Two now sizes of postal cards went
i into effect yesterday.
• Yesterday morning the postofltce de
partment was ready to issue them to
postmasters, to be known as “A” and
“C" cards respectively, in addition to
the “B,” the one now in current use.
The A will be of line quality of loft-
dried paper; the C of a strong, finely
finished jute paper.
The former will be pearly gray in color
and 1 2 15.10 by t| Inches In dimension,'
with ajportrait of General Grant in the
upper right-band corner. The card will
be printed In dark blue.
The C will be light manilia, SjxOl
inobes, designed very much like the
other new card.
Postmasters will not be permitted
under any circumstances to redeem pos
tal cards in the hands of the public, nbr
to exchange one kind for another.
Here is a statement, the truth of
which is not generally known:
“Only once in a quarter of a century
—in 1882-1883, just prior to the Inaugu
ration of two-cent postage—have the
department receipts' met the expendi
tures. The estimates of 1803, which
have been prepared for the action of
congress at the coming session, atiow
that the service may be made to reach a
self-sustaining basis by July 1st, 1803."
In the additional railway postal ser
vice established during the year, the
south comes in for a full share. Of the
8,000 miles Increase, three-fourths were
- applied to southern and western states,
the south having 2,400 miles.
The postmaster general meets the
views of a big number in what he has to
say about the telegraph.
“I want to see," be remarks, “the
two great servants of the people, the
postoffice -and the telegraph, reunited,
and the telephone brought in to enhance
the value of the combination. Public
interests, private needs, and the popular
will call for these agencies to perfect the
. great postal system of this country.
Sixty-four millions of people are taxing
themselves to-day to the amount of $70,-
000,000 annually to maintain the post-
office plant, and are denied the right to
vitalize tbit magnificent machinery with
tbe mightiest force which science has
given to render that machinery most
effective."
As to reducing letter postage to a uni
form rate of 1 cent, Hr. Wanamaker has
to say: ' \
“To do this means exactly that the
department will lotp-One-half of the re
ceipts from letter postage. One half
would be 020,710,064.75. I have hereto
fore stated that 1 cent postage will be
successfully demanded In time. I be
lieve that time Is not far off. It would
not be just and fair to a service upon
which every effort has -been spent for
two years to make it self-sustaining,
and which now promises to become so
in tbe next fiscal year, to heap upon it,
tbe instant the balance sheet becomes
clear, a burden of millions.”
The postmaster-general believes that
letter carriers should not be weighed
down like pack horses, that railway
postal clerks should be pitid tor, the dan
gers they face dally; that It Is wrong to
pay a fourth-class postmaster $100 a
year who has to pay 5200 for fitting his
office with boxes, and that rural deliv
ery should be widely extended. _
Then conies a valuable Item regarding
newspapers which be says could be car
ried free. "Itis possible from Julyl,
. 1803, to take off the entire tax on news
paper*, except for oity delivery, It all
books of every kind are’placed on a
level with other merchandise and ths
postage may be rednoedby consolidat
ing fourth-class matter with the third-
class. 1 4
A great excitement was created re
cently by tbe conjunction of certain
planets, said by astronomers to foretell
deaths by cold, Ac. But all anxiety
was quickly d'spelled by the sage remark
of one old citizen: "What do we cate!,
