Sv BEADING MATTER ON BVEBY PAGR SKE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE. . GBAPHIC AND OTHER MATTEE. ‘Te HOLMDAYS are almost at hand.—that seyous season of the year dedietted from time emmemorial to festivities. good feeling, and che giving of gifts.” Now, more than ever, are newspaper advertisements consulted by al cineses to learn where the pleasant conditions ft the season can be hest filled, aud for the least expenditure of money. Those who desire to avail themselves Of the brisk business thus, cremted should therefore epeedily, aud in the | most public manner, make known the induce- , memts they propose to bold out to secure it. j We nerd not point out that Tae EveNtne | STAR is he medium par ¢xlience tor commu- nications Of this character, for that fact is ‘kEOWE of all men.” but we aliude to the sab- ject im this way for the benefit of all our readers,—sellers and buyers alike. In no bramch of trade does the homely adage, “the | early bird catches the worm,” apply with so | much force as to that of the holidays, for pra- dent and extensive purchasers always prefer | to buy early, for the double reason that they ¢an then seiect from full stocks, and at tne | ¢ time avoid the crowds that fill the pop- | ulsr sources of suppls No question is more frequently asked by politicians and journalists of the peany-wise- pound-feolish school than «Why cannot the Post Office Department be made selt-sup- | yortung I” This inquiry is squarely met and | conclusively suswered by the Postmaster Gen- eral im bis report to Congress for the current | year. | | } Referring to the increased expenses of the Postal service, he takes the broad ground thats based as they are upom pubdlic necessity and public demand, they are properly a cause for congratulation rather than discouragement. And this is true; for they sre a sure indication | of mcTeased facilities and extended communi- icus. Yet. the proportion of deficiency to revenue is far less now than im 1560, notwith- stamémg the facts that so large a part of the postal service suspended during the war has been restored. and that new service equal to cue-third of that formerly required has since been created by Congress, But, the reasons why 8 deficiency exists is stated im the follow- ing pungent manner: «The majority of the Southern States have Dever paid their Own expenses for postal ser- vice. ‘They will not doso for a lopg time to come, With the exception of lowa sud Mis- sourti, none of the States or Territories west of he Mississippi river bave ever paid a revenue ito their postal expenses. The cost of ihe riation of the matis in all new States erritories, aud in all sparsely populated | pertions o: the country, never has been paid | by thoce S of Territories out of their own revenues. Iris only as population and busi- | hess increase, and the country is developed, that postal service can be self-susiainin “The ices that the Post Offic can be self-sustaining, et the county, ,- ought not to be, for fitty years to come. i 1 largely tucress: The | and so will ex- Peudiures, Ten years hence 1 estimate the | expenses of the Post Uifice Department at $4040, and the revenues at ‘This 1merease must go on as long as the country | Prospers. and mineral, agricuttural, and com- | mercial business increases.

It could also mize to the extent of over $7.00 by overturning the system of postal car: Its true that im public ¢stimation the letter-carriers for cities are thought to be almost indispens- able. but the system cosis money and brings e Ji revenue. It is all disbursement aad no receipt. What if from twelve to tweaty- | four hours are saved in the transmi=sion | of mails between Wasbington and Cin- | cimpati, or St. Louis, or Chicago, aad the whole west and northwest, by these travelling post effices, which put offand receive mails while wavelling &t thirty miles an hour. and whieh receive mails, make up mails, and di tribute mailsas they go hurrying aleag? costs money. and the government, like a muser, | oan keep its imits chest.

The whole case is there presented in anut | shri. The Department cam be made not only self-supporting, but & source of profit, if the People so desire. We incline, to the opinion, however, that they will be slow to give up the improvements inaugurated so successfully by Ge Raudali sed bis immediate successor and go back to the old order of things for the pur. pose of saving the comparatively trifling sum they cost. The requirementsof theage, no less than the spirit of progress aud improvement, ‘are against any such retrogade movement; and Weare glad fo see a cabinet officer who bas botb the will and the courage to place the pab- he good above dollars and cents.
