OUR GREAT POSTAL SERVICE.
The annual report of the fourth
assistant postmaster general, which
hag juat been issued, ia full of in
teresting information.
It shows the growth and progress
of our postal service from the be
ginning of the government.
IT he service began in 1791 with
only 75 postoffices. There are now
over 70,000 postoffices in the coun
try. The 75 postoffices In 1791
were scattered through a strip along
the Atlantic coast which comprised
T the oaly part of the United States
which was then settled. Now our
government extends from ocean to
ocean and is thickly strewn with
postoffices and post roads.
The, growth of the south is indi
cated by that part of the report
which Bhowa that ol the entire
.number of postoffices established '? in
-the United ' States during the last
fiscal year more than onefonrth are
inj Ae"6e atSles'of eorgiav Wissis-

apd Pep nslyania.
40 ile 70t36QV postocef .in the
offices, which wieans that by reason
of the large amount of businees
done by them their 'postmasters are
appointed by the president. The
other 6,725 are fourth-class offices
all appointments being made by the
postmaster general. Last year,
ending June 30, 1896, there were
handled in the postoffices 13,851,-
000 pieces of registered mail, with a
loss of 1 id 16,244 pieces. The
amount of unregistered or ordinary
mail handled is not given, but it
constitutes by far t be 'greatest part
ot the business. The report shows
the postal inspection service to be in
line cond'tiaoj Its efficiency has
been very mucn improved and some
of the best detec ive work on record
in this country has been done by
postoffice inspectors Atlanta Jour
nal.
Li Hung Chang has turned much
attention to himself while in Amer
ica and every expression of his was
caught with eagerness as from a
saee. Indeed there can be no ques
tion about his being the great man
of his race and he deserves the
honor bestowed on him. All this
makes it the more amusing to see in
him the tffects of that little Fphk
ing that Japan gave China recently.
He sees the United States lying at
the irercy of . Japan. He thinks
that Japan, with her 200,000 troops,
' -1 -
her long ranged guns and her fleet
could lay waste our Western shore
.. . i . - .... ,
cities,' march in upon our gold and
silver mines and hold them till we
should pay her an indemnity. He
does not seem to ihiak of the fact
that the American troops would
have arms to compete with .little
Japan. The great Mongolian must
overestimate Japan because of his
t -
lateexperience with th Island Em
pire, or underestimate the United
States because he haa riot hud an
opportunity of feeling her power, or
both. To say the least Li must be
a little off on this particular in-
stance.
