The wars of America have, heretofore, settled
affairs of state. Great questions OF policy, OF ma
tional motives and national conclusions have
been answered MS soon as the battle smoke clear

war with Spainis unlike its predecessors. lthas
not answered questions, but has created prob
lens which may not be solved lightly.
These problems are being formulated by the
political parties, and before they can be definite
lysettled at the ballot box it is necessary that the
people be informed in regard to the situation.
The result Of the campaign OF 1900 viii make q
broad mark upon the page OF history; 1t VIII no
doubt establish the policy OF the great Republic
of America for quarter OF century

A BETTER seRWcE wANrEp.

CHRONICLE, and from what we have |
heard of the experience Of other
people, we feel warranted in saying
that the government mail service is |
not what it should be in this sec
ton of Tennessee. Particularly is
this the case with paper matter and
more especially right here in our
own county.
Complaints are made to us near
ly every week that the bundle of
CHRONICLES has not been received
at some post-office in the county,
and il. is frequently the case that
the bundles that should arrive at
Faxon, Coxburgh, and many other
offices in the county the same day
chat they are mailed here are de-
layed from one to four and fvedays.
We mail the paper every week in
single packages to a large number
Of subscribers, they write to tell us
chat they often get them three and
four at time, and this too where
they have a daily mail service We
know of others here who tell us
they have similar experiences.
Together with other mail the
bundle OF CHRONICLES for Cox
burgh was delivered at the post
Office here as usual last Friday, and
though not in time for Fridays
mail it should have reached there
Saturday, but the postmaster at
aCoxburgb informed us Tuesday
chat the papers had not been re-
ceived. This is an illustration of
some Of our experiences. of the last
few months, and illustrates the
faultiness Of the mail service.
The trouble is not confined to
papers alone, but also to letters.
It is frequently the case that peo-
pie are injured in business and lose
business because letters are delay
ed two or three days later than they
would be if they went through as
promptly as they should. We are
informed that it is sometimes the
case that letters are delayed a day
or two between points like Camden
and Holiday.
We know that the railway mail
clerk is about the hardest worked
man in the government service anC
sometimes they have. more mai
chan. they can handle and get itof
at the right place, but he shoulC
not be held responsible for all the
faults of the service with which GU
people now complain of and ar
annoyed with.
The mail service is something
chat effects everybody, and the gov
eminent should see to it that TIN
service does not suffer for the wan
Of efficient help to take care Of th
maids Of the country.
1t is not our purpose to rehec
upon any individual connected wit
the1mail service, but there is gen
eraI complaint in this section Of il
faultiness, and it might be well 70
thepost-ohice department to invei
tigate the service oftener and NOR
particularly than it does and Sc
what and where are the causes fc
such faults and remedy them.
There is no branch Of the goV
eminent more complicated or MOI
important or requires more systel
Cor prompt and efficient servic
than our>postal system.
