A Spasm of Reform,

That stern moralist, the Viceroy OF Ma
Mia. has had his tender ears shocked by
rumOrs that bribery and corruption are
not altogether unknoWn in the military and
civil services of the Philippine empire.
So. OF course. Otis loses not a moment in
issuing proclamation. warning all officials
Of whatever rank OF degree. that the thing
must stop. that virtue is its own reward.
ana vice versa.
How the reclUse Of the Governor Gener-
ais palace has managed TO get his chronic
deafness to the howl Of complaint against
the iniamies and oUtrages OF his regime
so miraculously cured We cannot imagine.
Fortunately for those most concerned the
change comes after all persons worth pub
lie consideration have made their lucky
and got from under Otis is Mortified TO
learn that superior officers have accepted
presents from their interiors. and that
fares have been collected on Government
trains, and no part Of them turned In at
headquarters. 1t is indeed sad TO know
that there Is so much human nature in
man Il is also something cXhilarating to
be aware that we have noble souls like Otis
TO call sinners to repentance the very first
time the ssinted general catches up with
their tricks.
Having made such an excellent start,
perhaps he viii keep it up hereafter ia
grand shape. In the course Of time he may
discover something about the great snug
CLING interest that grew up aud flourished
under his nose, enabled Aguinaldo to ex-
change hemp and tobacco for arms. ammu-
milton, and sundries, and enriched certain
influential persons who. for the present,
need not be mentioned by name. Otis
might issue a tract on that subject ami
have it nailed up in the custom houses.
where nobody knows what good it would
do Then the old gentleman ought TO take
desc OF yermifuge and go on the retired
list a younger. less hard OF hearing, ami
more Observant man is needed to govern
the Philippines.

CUSTOMS AND PARCELS POST.
of AppraisinE For
eiga Mail Matter

NEW YORK, Jan. 4-Since the parcels
post convention with Germany went into
effect. enabling parcels Of eleven pounds
weight to enter this country by mail. the
pOstOfiCe at EeW York has received hun
dreds OF large packages which have teen
subject to examination and appraisals by
the customs authorities. and this work has
been done at the HOstofice building. This
has proved very announcement and the
Treasury and POstOfice Department are
now trying to get together and arrange
upon some more satisfactory plan
The idea is to have a section of the ap-
praisers' warehouse set apart for parcels
post business exclusively. II will be treat
ed as a postal substatiOn. and Postmaster
make it a general substatiOn for the re-
ceptiOn anS despatch of mails, the sale OF
stamps, etc
This seems to the Treasury people. how
ever, impracticable for the present. Their
purpose in setting apart a section Of the
warehouse iEEbead of letting the present
arrangement continue is to get rid of the
nuisance of keeping a part of the apprais-
er's force always CHARTERED over at the
postoGiice, thereby cutting them OF from
their regular routine work.
Many OF the packages received from
Germany. moreover, contain goods which
can be appraised only on the judgment OF
technical experts. so that the appraiser
is Obliged to fOTego the services of some
OF the best experts on the main work OF
his Office, in order TO accommodate this
postal branch. II Is feared that IL the new
substation were turned to general postal
uses it would soon take up a great deal
more room than the warehouse can spare.

tory OF the city. That day, according to
their calendar, is Christmas. Russia is
one of the few nations on the earth that
has never dropped the Gregorian calendar
to Join the rest OF the world leaving out
enough days to catch up to slderal time
Accordingly her people go on celebrating
Christmas on the day when Americans and
English and French would have been ceIe-
