Again there is a movement in New
York and other Eastern cities to induce
Congress to make provision for a parcels
post. as if the abuses of the second-class
rates were not all the burden the taxpayers
should carry in hat line. One New York
merchant who has written In advocacy of
the scheme says that much OF the mate
rial that now goes through the mails as
second-class matter" has less merit than
the merchandise 1t is proposed to send by
a parcels post. So, because the govern
ment is defrauded by the abuse OF the
provisions of the second-class law, the
fraud should be extended for the benefit
of others. Another New York merchant.
In his -narrowness, exposes the whole case
when he says that the parcels post would
annihilate distance completely. and goods
could be sent as cheaply to California as
to New Jersey" The government cannot
afford to carry goods three thousand miles
for the same rate as it receives for car
rying the same fifty miles. Somebody must
lose by such a transaction, and that some
BODY will be the taxpayers who pay the
uClCii III the DOStOlnCc IcNtHutS- luOSe
who are again demanding the parcels post
are a few large dealers in New York and
Philadelphia, who would absorb a large
part of the retail trade enjoyed by deal
ers in the interior by having the people
of the United States pay the cost of
transportation. The proposition is the most
specifically greedy that has been present
ed TO Congress. The government should
leave the business of parcel carrying, ex-
cept as 1t now exists. to the express COM
panies. Indeed, the government will be
carrying hundreds of tons of merchandise
during the Christmas season. Legislation,
II any is had. should be to make the
carrying OF the mails self-sppporting.
Merchandise should be charged according
to distance carried.

The celebration of the one-hundredth an
of government at Washington yesterday
was a notable event and a happy thought
on the part of the person suggesting It.
No other city can better typify the growth
of the Republic than does the national
capital. When II was made the capital,
Washington was a most desolate town of
5000 inhabitants. Now it is one of the most
beautiful cities in the world, with a popu-
lation OF 2SS.OOO. George Washington ex-
pected that the national capital would be-
come a great commercial center, the larg-
est city in the United States. 1t is so far
industries that a magazine writer heads an
article about IL, 1.-The City of Leisure"
There were sixteen States in the Union
with a population of 100000 when Wash
ington was made the capital one hundred
years ago. Now there are 100000 inhabi-
tants and forty-iye States. Either of two
States west of the Alleghenies. Ohio and
Illinois, has a greater wealth than the en-
tire Union at that period. In 1900 the area
Of the United States was 100000 square
miles; now it is 3.SOO.OOO.
The location of the capital was the re-
suit Of a compromise. Washington was in
favor of it. as was the South. but the
North was hostile. The assumption of the
debts of the States contracted during the
revolution by the United States, which the
South did not favor. is said to have been
the compromise for locating the capital on
the Potomac. All things considered, it is a
good location. Now and then a suggestion
appears advocating the removal of the
capital TO the interior, but the proposition
has MOI appeared in Congress for a long
time. In this connection it is worth while
to note that many members of Congress
desired to have the capital located in a
smaller town than Philadelphia or New
York, so as to be free from the danger
of mob violence, which once threatened
Congress when in session in Philadelphia.
The celebration yesterday was in every
way fitting a nation of 76,OO0,O 0 people
which has made such progress in a GEN.
for a season in the expectation that the
new nation would go To pieces and the
fragments would be parCeled out among
those who should prove the stronger. To-
day. as an important world power, Europe
seems disposed to recognize us as one of
the nations that must be consulted in the
worlds affairs.

FIGHTING in COLOMBIA
MANY KILLED ON BOTH SIDES IN
BATTLE AT TOLU VIEJO.
Government Troops Suffering from
Tropical Fevers, and a Large Sup
ply of Quinine Ordered.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Advices received
to-day from various parts of Colombia and
confirmed by passengers who arrived from
Panama, tell of desperate fighting in near
ly every State. The government troops are
in a poor physical condition, and suffering
from several forms of tropical fevers.
Senior Arturo Brigard. Colombian consul
general in this city, has been ordered by
his government TO purchase and ship i'm
mediately a large quantity of quinine for
use of the army. The most desperate fight
ing is now going on in the department
of Bolivar. In a battle fought at Tolu
Viejo, on Nov. Is, the revolutionists lost
among one hundred killed and wounded,
two able officers, Gen. p. Camacno and
Col. Enrique Pinedo. The rebels took two
hundred prisoners, besides which the gov
eminent force lost one hundred in killed.
Five cannon were also taken by the rebels.
From the Department of Magdalena comes
the news that Gen. Vargas Santos, presi-
dent of the revolutionary government, with
his force, has arrived at the port of Rio
Hacha and established the government
there.
Official dispatches nave been received at
Colon. from Governor Alban, of the State
of Panama, announcing that, after a three
days engagement, Tumaco, the former
ronghol of the insurgent movement, was
reoccupied by the government troops, Dec.
4, and that the rebel steamer Gaitan has
been destroyed.

1 G UNTO TREASON.
Position of n Massachusetts Clique
as Voiced by Mr.. Mccall.
Denver Times.

Denver Times.
Representative Mccall, Of Massachusetts.
sits in Congress as a Republican. During
the recent campaign he identified himself
with that class of Massachusetts, Repub-
licans who opposed what they called the
Imperialism of the administration in the
acquisition of the Philippines, and en-
phasized that opposition by supporting Mr..
Bryan. who, either stupidity or disingenu-
ously, according to the logical conclusion
of anti-imperialism, was responsible more
than any other man for the consent of the
Senate to hat acquisition.
He has apparently learned nothing from
the campaign. and delighted the Bryan
lite hearts in Congress on Wednesday with
a fierce philippe against the proposed re-
organization of the army. He was So
phistical enough TO insist upon adding our
whole pension bill to army estimates as
properly belonging in military expenses,
and then e~xultantly pointing out that the
aggregate sum Is greater than the military
expenses of both France and Germany. No
Republican in Congress seems to have had
presence of mind enough to ask what OF il.
and to point out to Mr.. Mccall that we
have even now far more population. and
many times the territory and resources of
both OF those nations put together.

ham. committed suicide early to-day by
shooting herself with a pistol. The husband
sleeps in a room on the opposite side of the
hall and says he was awakened by hearing
two shots in his wife's room. He hurried in
and found his wife disrobed for bed, sitting
in a chair, dead, and a pistol clasped in her
right hand. Mr.. Wickham also said tina
when he went home last night he found his
wife's room darkened and silent, an I'M
usual circumstance, and demanded admit
tance. She opened the door and protested
against his entrance, but he forced his way
in. Under a cot in Mrs. Wickham's room,
her husband declares, was ]. r. w. Davis,
of New York city. engineer of maintenance

Wickham were fully dressed. A scene fol-
lowed, and the husband says he called wit

says he retired to his own room, where he
was sleeping, when awakened by hearing
two shots. Mrs. Wickham left three let
tiers, one to her father, one to her husband
and one to the wife of her husbands
brother. The contents of the one TO her
father were alone made public. She begged
his forgiveness for what she was about
to do. She left some money and valuables
for him and bade him farewell.

Gen. j. H.. Wilson. who has just re-
turned from military service in China, tells
n reporter that the interior of the Imperial
Palace at Peking gave much evidence of
the poverty existing in China. The throne
room was dirty and the throne itself moth
ing but a wooden chair gilded- The EN-
peror's bed was hard, without a mattress
or springs, end covered only by a mat.
These revelations do not sustain the COM
mon impression of Oriental luxury and
magnificence. and show how difficult 1t
would probably be for china to pay a
large money indemnity.
