An Expansionlst Now.

Now that election is over our con temporary defines itself on so-called imperialism, the paramount false is sue of the campaign raised by Mir. Bryan, which is simply another name for expansion, as follows:
 ''In our opinion, one mistake which was made by Mir. Bryan. as well as by a great many other sound democrats, during the campaign just closed, was on the lines of anti-expansion. When ever a man opened his mouth and said anti-eXpansion, a vote, or votes, was, or were, lost. This we know. We know the popular pulse, if we know anything, and we know that wherever you find a man of the white race, you find an expansionist, and the most pronounced of these are the men of the Anglo Saxon race.
 The man who buys or acquires one town lot and is struggling for another is an expansionist. The Anglo Saxon, especially, loves to own land, and as he wishes to become a landed prOpri- etor, he naturally wishes his country and his government to take in all the land that it can take in honestly, and he is individually trying to do the same thing. He loves to look at the map of the world and say The flag of my country floats here, and there; and it floats proudly and honorably.'
 The editor of this paper. previous to the assembling of any democratic conventions, before the commence ment of this campaign, asserted that the American people were and are eX- pansionists; that the democratic party had acquired, both by war and pun chase, the biggest part of the United States of today, and that the demo- cratic party was the biggest expan- sionist of them all. This paper at that time said that it did not want to get into bed with Hoar, Sherman, Reid and such men, on any proposi- ton, and this paper quoted them not at all, and said nothing about them.
 'Anti-expansion talk lost thousands of votes. It had no foundation of reason io back it, and all history ar rayed against it.

CUSTOMS AND PARCELS POST.
Inconvenience of AppraisinG For
eign 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
postoffice at New York has received hun
dreds OF large packages which have been
subject to examination and appraisals by
the customs authorities, and this work has
been done at the postofice building. This
has proved very incOnVenient and the
Treasury and Postoff1ce 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. 1t will be treat
ed as a postal substation, and Postmaster
Van Cott is anxious to get permission to
make it a general substation for the re-
ception and 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 instead of letting the present
arrangement continue is to get rid OF the
nuisance of keeping part of the apprals-
er's force always quartered over at the
postofice, thereby cutting them OH from
their regular routine work.
Many of the packages received from
Germany. moreover contain goods which

technical experts, SO that the appraiser
is Obliged to forego the services Of some
of the best experts on the main work of

postal branch. II is feared that if the new
substation were turned to general postal
uses it would soon take up a great deal
