iiirnovino 'rue rosm. service.

The annual report of the Postmaster

General ls to hand containing the usual statistical andother information regarding tlicpostal service for IM, and some mat- ter of special interest. There is perhaps no other department of the public Service which comes in .such close and frequent touch with all the people of the countryas the Post Office, and they can hardly fail to be interested in the steps taken by the present energetic Postmaster General, Hon. Mr. Mulock, toimprove the postal

system. 4

Since lst July 1896 the followingchanges

and improvements have been made:

On July 1, 12108 the Dead Letter Branch,

theretofore centralized at Ottawa, was de- centralized, branch offices being establish- ed in each of the Provinces, so as to save

the delay and expense of transmitting all dead letters to Ottawa. By this change it was also found practicable tolconduct up this branch with a greatly reduced staff.

On the same date the Department es-

tablished a Special Delivery system in cities, by which letters prepaid by Special Delivery stamps are delivered immediately or their arrival at the Post Ofhce by spe- ` cial carrier. Thousands of letters have been thus delivered with the utmost

promptness; -

On August 4, 1808 the Postal Note sys-

tem was created to provide the public with a cheap and ready method of trans- mittinz small sums by mail. These are now available in denominations of 20e,25c,

300, 402, 500, GSL-, Tile, Silo, 9.`»c, $1, $1.5), $2. $2.50, $3 and $4. Since the introduction of

the system over three quarters of it mill- ion dollars have been sent through the mails in these small Postal Notes. The

number of Offices now issuing these notes has been increased to 2,6-1').

Ori Christmas Day 1835 the system of

Inter-Imperial Penny Postage ivas put in operation, under which letters between

Canada, the Mother Country, and various parts of the Empire have since been carri-

ed for two cents per half ounce instead of

five cents as before. This great reduction has resulted in largely increased corres- ponden cc between the distant parts of the Empire.

On January 1, 1899 the letter rate with- in the Dominion was reduced from three cents to two cents per ounce. This was done at a heavy low to the postal revenue, but we are pleased to learn from the re-

port that the change has been accompani- ed with such a. marked and continuous increase in the number of domestic letters

being transmitted through the mails as to warrant the conclusion that the loss of

revenue consequent upon such reduction will be soon overcome.

I

During the same period there has been

ii constant increase in the number of post offices, in the frequency of the mails and

the extension of ,mail routes. Last year alone 138 new post offices were opened and

400,906 miles added t-o the mileage over which the mulls are carried. A large number of the existing offices are served more frequently' than in previous years, weekly service being changed to semi-

weelzly, semi-weekly to tri-weekly, tri-

vreekly to daily, dally to semi-daily and

S0 OU.

Of course there is a deficit in the Post

Office Department, and if there had not

been a. deficiency before the changes and improvements above referred to were brought in, we might expect there would be a deficiency now. But it is as gratify- ing as it is surprising to find that the fin-

ancial operations of the PostOfllce Depart- ment for 1899 present a more favorable basses .plan those or lane. The Post Oilice dgibcit for 1896 was $781152, and for 1% was,l$83, 162 less. And this notwith-

standing the reduced letter postage and

the great extension and improvement of

the postal service in many ways as above referred’ Tito.

The number of Post Offices in operation

in Canada at theend of 1899 was 9420

year 150,375,900 items, 21,450,000 pest cards, 3,675,400 registered letters, 5,400, < 000 free letters, and 34,830,000, transient newspapers, periodicals, etc. It will be seen that the number of letters

posted is equal to 30 for every man, woman, and child in the Dominion, nf~ about 150 per family. The above cited, facts and figures, though giving but an] imperfect and partial view, are quite suflieient to show that the Post Office

Department has greatly improved itsi

working in recent years, and is now welll

abreast of the times.

Aweek from yesterday the Provincial

Legislature will meet, at which it is un- derstood some important measures will be submitted which are now in prepara- tion. The close division of partisslin the House and the uncertain health of one‘or

two of the members will also tend to give unusual interest to the opening of the session. ' -

It is brought to the notice of THE GUAR-

nim that there is great need of a home for the homeless little ones,whose parents do not and in some cases cannot provide for them. Once in a while we read ad- vertisements oflittle ones offered for ad-

option. A number are being wholly or in part maintained by private charity and in A some cases the Provincial Government assists. At present there is no other or better general refuge for some unfortun- ate mothers and their helpless babes in many such cases save the Poor House, where the conditions are far from suit- able. .

given extended notice to Mr. Horace Has-

zard’s letter in favor of non-party Govern- _»

The Globe has long been n stalwart advo-

cate of the party system in New Bruns- wick and quite naturally fails to concur in Mr. Haszard’s views. It admits that party T Government has its defects but claims
