Postmaster Evans received notice to-day
OF "a change in the postal service which will
event tually be Of great advantage to this
portion Of the northwest. The good news
was contained in the regular bulletin, which
contained the following paragraph
"Or,iered. that two additional Inspector
divisions are hereby formed aud b-aoquar-
ters established at Helena, Montana, and
Austin, Texas; the Helena division to he
composed of the States of Idaho, Montana,
North Dakota and South Dakota; the Aus
tin division to comprise the States of Loui-
siana and Texas"
This will give Montana an inspector with
as much power as the one who has his
headquarters in San Francisco, and who
will he on the ground where he can post
himself as to the needs of his district. The
change should result in an immediate i'm
provement Of the service here. The order
takes effect on and after to-day.

but n pleasant. friendly disposition. The
occasional throes of that country. there.

rises. are worthy OF attention. 1t is good
to see the trend of public thought in our

There is a growing conviction in the
Canndisn mind that the country is not at
its best as an appinaGe Of England.
There is a French element in Canada. an
English one. ana n practical part of the
community which IL rather American.
Mr.. DALTON MCCARTHY is making nh
effort TO repeal the law which authorizes
the French languages iu the Northwest
Territories. French Canadians are tho
rockiest subjects of the Queen in the
whole Dominion, and they are great
kickers. The result of this effort of MIR.
MCCARTHY will be to raise their tempera-

the Canadians the need of q Government
which will be more fusing. Then do
their thoughts lead towards annexation.
