Under the law, the vacancy caused by the
death of Postmaster General Howe must be
filled in ten days from Monday. 1t is the
impression in circles where the matter has
not been closely inquired into for want OF
time that the presfdent could renew the
order designating an acting postmaster gen.
sral at tho expiration of that time, and 20
ON until suitable person could be found.
The talk about the postmaster general
suocessonhip il becoming universal. Every
body speculates on the subject, but no one
knows anything about it. A very full list
ofcandidates has already besn given, but 1t
Is pretty certain that none of these have sug-
gested the subject to tile president and the
latter still abstains from discussing It with
any one.
The president has appointed f. o. Graves
assistant treasurer of the United States, to
fill the place of A. u. Wyman, promoted.
Mr.. Graves has hitherto been superintend-
ent of the national bank redemption divis-
ion of the treasury department..
Secretary Folger continues to improve in
health, and it is thought he will be able to
resume his duties AZ the treasury depart
mcnt In few days, but before doing 30 will
take trip to Bermuda.
The officers of the quarterm asters corps
are kept in state Of continual agitation over
the deliberation of the president in filing the
vacancy which has now existed for some
weeks.
Secretary Folger, has appointed Capt. T.

Cheap Postage at Last, and Postal Notes
in Addition.

The late Congress passed law which
will be hailed with general satisfaction
by the people, namely, the reduction OF
the rate OF postage on letters to two
cents. The United States may now be
considered as standing at the head of
the nations in the matter of cheap postal
facilities. We are indebted to Mother
England for teaching us the A B G OF
popular postal transmission; for a score
of years her rate has been two cents.
But no such costs, difficulties, and dis
tances have had to be overcome in
carrying the mails ia Great Britain as in
this country. Her postal routes are
short, her total area being only about
one hundred and twenty-five thousand
square miles, while ours is not far from
three and a half millions of square
miles.
Many of our important towns are
from one to four thousand miles apart
by the postal routes, over which we
have been long carrying letters for three
cents. Under the new rates of two
cents, the quantity of letters to be car
ried will doubtless be greatly augmented.
The new two cent rate goes into OPP
Grafton October l. The post Office
authorities are engaged in preparing a
brand new two cent stamp, with which
to inaugurate the happy event.
Another accommodations for the public
will also soon come into vogue, namely
the issue of postal notes for small sums
BY payment at any post Office q postal
note for the amount is to be given
which viii be payable on presentation
at any other post Office.
The post Office authorities aremakin2
preparations as rapidly as possible fol
the issue OF the new postal note. It is
TO be engraved with great care, the
work upon it to be equal to that on the
national banknotes, in order to protect
the holder. 1t is expected that this note
will prove of great benefit to all who
desire to use the mails to purchase
books, newspapers and merchandise
The authorities admit that it is an ex
pertinent, and do not expect that The
system will any more than pay expenses.

Il don't think want any of it, re-

when l say that Territory contains more
and better buildings than all the rest of

which draw it! Housesl Gentlemen,
it is q positive fact that there isn't a
square foot in that Territory that isn't
built over, and in some cases they have
to run poles off the roofs of the build
ings already erected and on those poles
they have built houses right over the
streets and roads. That's what keeps us
so warm in winter and cool in summer.
The cold and sunlight never get
through. -
''Do I understand you that every foot
of that country is rooted in?" demanded
the quiet man. els that fact, or are
you gasing?"
Just as sure's as you're BORN" re-
piled the Dakota man, promptly and
confidently. IF man goes into that
district with the idea of building he's
going to be left hard
I'm that case" rejoined the quiet
man, slowly-''in that case, will you be
kind enough to explain to me just where
those big farms you have been speaking
of are located?'
Stranger" said the Dakota man,
stranger, you think you have put
