l l Q  
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. .
