War In the Northwest.

OTTAWA, April 1.-The Minister
Of the Interior has issued instruc-
tions to the land agents that all
homesteaders who may volunteer for
active service in the present trouble
in the Northwest, will be allowed
time so spent as residence upon their
land; also that those interested are
requested to call at the Dominion
Land Office and enter their nam IS in
order that their land may be pre-
tected. The students of Manitoba
College, Winnipeg, have decided to
form a company. Captain Scott has
telegraphed the Government from
Winnipeg. asking authority to organ
ize ten companies instead of six, be-
cause he is so crowded with appli-
cations to go to the front. The
matter is being considered. Alex

WASHINGTON, April I'm an in
Cervlew with the Postmaster-G General
ne stated to reporter of the Asso-
clated Press this morning that the
senate committee asked for and had
sent to them the papers in the case,
including the inspectors report, and
their reason for declining to approve
the proposed removal was unknown
to him, and could only be surmised.
The facts are plainly shown, he said,
by the omclal report of the Inspec-
tor, made during the term of Presi-
dent Arthur, and are open to no sus-
plclon OF partisan or personal influ-
ences. and are such, indeed, as will
hardly admit of an explanation.
The President, in his letter, has
only mentioned those in respect to
which no opportunity fer question
was open. The removal was not
proposed for any other purpose than
to improve the service; the nominee
is q man against whom no just OBJ
lection could lie. The Postmaster
General added that the present may
be good opportunity to say, that
from some evidences before him, he
believes the notion to be prevalent
and the practice be general accoading-
ly, that postmasters should have al
lowance for clerks sufficient to enable
the business of their offices to be
transacted chiefly by them, while the
postmaster himself, though the best
paid, should be required no personal
labor beyond general supervision.
This case illustrates what may hap
pen from such q practice. If the ex-
cuse Of the Rome postmaster be true
in, fact in every case of default
the clerk or assistant will be
made the scape goat. Its the inten-
ton of the department to make care
full scrutiny OF these allowances and
reduce them when necessary ma
terlally requiring q postmaster to
give his personal time and attention
to the duties of his office and assist
in the performance of duty, except
in those few large offices where his
time may be necessarily required in
general supervision. It is believed
that by such a course the public will
be much better served and that con-
siderable reduction in the annual
expenditure of the department may
be realized.

A CHURCH LESSON.

1t is a well-known fact that when |
business men find their business de-
creasing they redouble their energies
that it may be restored to its old pres
tige, but when a church begins to
show signs of decay, the first indica-
ton to the outside world, is a reduc-
ton in the pastors salary and the con-
sequence is the pastor resigns and a
less talented man at a less salary, of
course, is secured in his place. The
result is then soon apparent, the min
lister does his best, but his best is not
what the people have been either &C.
customed to, or want to hear and soon
the interest. flags, che by one empty
benches are dotted through the audi
ence room. q few of the loyal cid
members remain, but the majority 60
elsewhere, and ere long the church is
saddled with debt from which she
cannot extricate herself and at last the
members are scattered and the church
is sold. How different would this
have been had the members, when
they became aware of the impending
disaster to the church, at once
resolved, like men who know tba
much depends upon a bold move
to ecure the services of {
young and talented minister. wht
would, by bis eloquence, his energy
and the verve with which he entered
upon his duties, create an interes
which would draw many to hear him
and hearing, would wish to stay. Thi
fresh, strong current of public opin
ion would have re-vitalized tn
church, and ere long it would hav
stood upon foundation which would
not have been as the ''sand," but a
the crock" This reasoning may, W
are, aware partake of "earth earthly
but it is practical and plain to tn
most careless observer, and the lessor
is, if a church begins to go down
don't further help it along by decap
ta'ing, but tage vigorous measures t
build it up.
