DEMAND A PARCELS POST.

ONE OF the benefits which the business men Of
| ] the country hope t. obtain from Congress at
- its next session is the establishment of par
GELS post system similar to that which has been so
successfully in operation in other countries AT re-
meeting OF the executive committee OF the Ma
tional Association OF Manufacturers, one OF the
largest industrial organizations in the Union there
was adopted resolution declaring the committee IA
vors the establishment of such system and author
izing the president OF the association to take such

be carried in the mails here about the English rate
which begins at cents pound and increases at the
rate OF ? cents pound up to ten pounds The limit
is eleven pounds and the rate for both the ten and
eleven pound packages is 25 cents According TO
the last annual report OF the United States Postofice
Department the actual cost OF Transporting a pound
OF mail in this country for the estimated average dis
tanoe is a little under cents pound and not more
than cents, which the rate for merchandise IN
the mails at the time it changed in the early
seventies to 10 pound by what then known
as the great express companies job The Govern

nOPE LEO XIII will be ninety years old next
- March lie is hale and serene in his old age,
but at ninety years human life is very frail 1t is
liable to pass away in a night when there is no
particular malady i'll to hasten departure There
fore there is ncessant speculation going on concern
ing the succession and may be the speculation
is accompanied in quarters by quiet efforts TO
direct the OF events and determine beforehand
who the successor shall be.
For that more than ordinary interest at
taches the dispatches to The Call concerning
the men who are supposed to be most likely to
ceed Leo. Our dispatches report Cardinal Gott 70
be seemingly highest in favor the present time and
similar view taken by other authorities who have
made public expression OF opinion on the subject
The London Spectator, for example, in a review
OF the chances OF the probable candidates for the
Office, pointed that Italian is almost certain to
be chosen, partly because large majority OF the
Cardinals Italian and as the governing committees
OF the church centralized in Rome they would not
like foreigner to preside over them but mainly be-
cause there such international enrntes among
British, French, Germans Austrians and Slavs that
candidate OF either OF those nations would meet the
antagonisn of all the others. 1t suggests that Car
dina from the United States would probably meet
no hostility in Europe, but might find it from the
SpanishAmercan countries, and the chances OF such
from Germany France
The choice being virtually confined to Italians the
Cardinals in choosing Pope at this juncture
will undoubtedly seek for a satisfactory TO other
nations well TO Italy. The Spectator concludes
that the conditions OF the time will lead to the exclu-
sion from the field OF choice OF all conspicuous and
well-known Cardinals except Cardinal Gott whom
the Pope is said to favor his successor Cardinal
Jacobni and Cardinal Vannutelli 1t said in our
dispatches that Vannutei is favored by the "Ameri-
canists, but the word must not be confounded with
Americans for it is used to signify the supporters
OF certain policy to which the "Amercanism"
has been given by those who oppose it.
While the prospects at present presage the choice
OF OF these three, and the character and dsposl-
ton of each is being widely discussed it is to be re-
membered that in Papal elections, as in everything
else, there is many slip twixt the cup and the lip
The venerable Pope may outlive the men who are
now suggested as his possible successors, i'd more
over, when the test of comparative strength comes
the three leaders may defeat another and leave an
avenue open for some other Cardinal who is unknown
to fame and not thought OF as candidate

CONSIDERABLE discussion

CONSIDERABLE discussion is going on among the papers of Benton County relative to the county printing, brought on by the fact that all this printing goes to one paper. The other papers very naturally are ob- iecting to this state of affairs and propose to see that there is something like q fair divis- ion in the future. The same condition exists in Washington County. TIE NEWS has been es- tablished since 1887, and If it has ever received any county printing, except 1000 one of the officers, we do not recall it. An effort was made by the proprietor of this paper to secure the delinquent tax list this year, or at least share i'll the work, but we were told by the officers having this mat ter in charge that It was GUS
 tomary to divide the work equally between the Democrat and Sentinel, of Fayetteville, and any change would meet with objection, notwithstanding the fact that TIE NEWS prints more papers every week and has a larger circulation than either of these papers. The sheriff also has considerable legal advertising at his dispos- al, but if any of il ever finds it's

ONE of the most important events in the political world the past week was the an nouncement of the combine formed by secretary of War Alger and Gov.

Al ger from the Cabinet, and It is intimated by no less authority than the Globe Democrat that unless he does step down and out of his own accord he will be invited 10 do so by the president. Mir. Alger's plat form will be opposition to trusts and the election of Sena. tors by a direct vote of the people.

TIE creation at the recent meeting of the state Univer sity of the position of Vice Director and Pomologist of the Agricult- ural Experimental station and and the appointment of Col. w. G. Vineenheller to fill this position has occasioned consid erahle comment. The univer- sal oDlnion seems to be that the motive back of this action On the part Of Gov. Jones is the hope of furthering iiis can- didacy for U. $. Senator.
 The Fayetteville Sentinel gives the following as the du- ties of the new offieer:-
 The duties of the pomologist, as described by the board, are to select and test fruits that will be best adapted to the southern and eastern sections of the state. He is also requir- ed to hold farmers institutes in all sections of the state with the specific view to interesting the Arkansas farmers i'll scien- tific agrienlture, and to thus bring about a greater use of the work of the experiment sta. tion.
 This is considered a very soft job and the salary Is a good one, 5000 per year, and it is only natural to suppose that at these farmers institutes" Col. Vincenheller will speak 8 good word in behalf of Gov. Jones candidacy. He would prove angrateful did he not do so. We give him credit, however, of being too shrewd a man to attempt to do any electioneering for Jones in this part of the state.
