THE PARCELS Posi-.

a bill which will come up for passage
in the present congress will bear watch
ing by every country merchant who
reads these lines. 1t is aimed at the es-
tablishment of a parcels post in this
country on the lines laid down in Eng
land and Germany.
On the face of it this parcels post
10 oks like a great benefit, in spite of the
und Quilted increase in the already large
annual deficit OF the postoflice depart
ment which would be caused thereby.
But the benefit certainly will not be to
the country merchant, and his prosperity
is the index Of that of the whole country
community. The parcels post will drive
practically all of his trade to the cities.
1t contempates the admission to the
mails at low rate of postage packages
weighing as much as eleven pounds. In
Great Britain the rate on this maximum
weight is 26 cents. Every merchant will
realize what this means. When articles
to this weight can be purchased by mail
from the big department stores in New
York, Boston and Chicago, the village

EDITOR REGISTER: While in New
York recently visited the "IIome for
Aged Men, Women and Couples" in
Brooklyn borough. This home is most
admirably conducted by board of lady
managers. The fee for admission is
$3.50. but the home is in the main sup
ported by charity. If a person or couple
have property they wish to give, or to
grant the use of to the institution, it is
placed to their credit (all above admis-
sion fee), and should they wish for any
reason to leave the home, they can do so
and take their funds also, as they are not
bound in any way. There were seventy
five inmates at the time of my visit, and
all with whom | conversed Ca dozen
different ones) told me how pleasantly,
smoothly and happily their life there
was made to pass, without the least care
or concern on their part. At the time of
my call the board were holding an Of
fetal meeting also a fair or sale of
fancy articles, and a dinner for the
benefit of the home. 1t was quite gala
day for the old people. The inmates all
wore badges. They have a Sunday re-
ligious service; also Thursday evening
prayer meeting. The pastors of different
churches donate their services to the
home, which is nOn-sectarian. We have
in Vermont "Home for Homeless
Children" "Soldiers Home" several
local homes for aged women, to which
none but residents of the cities are
eligible. Why should we not have a
Al.
who dwell together in youth. and more
happily in old age than when separated?
That some phianthrOpic bcncfactor of
our race may endow such an institution

When we consider the hundreds of
millions of dollars expended by congress
for river and harbor improvements,
there appears nothing extraordinary
about the bill to be presented by Congress
man Graham of Pennsylvania for the
appropriation of five millions for assist
ing local governments throughout the
country in building permanent roads.
Many communities would gladly pay a
share for making such improvements,
where they are unable to meet the entire
cost: and if the bill is intended to foster
a spirit of self-help, it can be made very
beneficial in its results.

shop keeper will see the greater portion
of his business depart.
AS might be expected the proprietors
of the big department stores are working
tooth and nail for the passage of the law
for the establishment of this post. With
them are connected some of the members
of the National Association of Manufac-
turers. They have unlimit, capital be.
hind them and can employ in their behalf
the best lobbyists in the country to go to
Washington to influence legislation.
The only means of checking this move
ment is for every country merchant who
values his trade to sit down at once and
write a letter to his congressman, re-
questng the latter to oppose the bill
when it comes up-and to keep on writing
until he secures the promise.
The argument that the parcels post has
been very successful in England does
not apply to the United States. The
area involved in Great Britain is only
120, 973 square miles; 10 the United States
it would be 3 ,602. 800 square miles-thirty
times greater In England the postal
rate is based on the average distance
packages are carried. To make it sue
cessful in this country we should
multiply by thirty the rate charged in
England, whereas our present rate on
merchandise in small lots is only about
eight times greater.

Rush for Pensions.

MorrisVile News and Citizen
Twenty-Five thousand applications for
pensions have been filed on behalf Of
soldiers who served in the Spanish Amer
lean war. More than 300 applications
have come from the list New York
regiment and $50 from the 9th Massachu-
sets regiment.
The business of getting new pensions
has been systematized. The number of
cases filed in the name of soldiers who
have served in the Philippines have be.
come so numerous as to attract official
attention
Upon investigation it has been dis
covered that the attorneys send their
agents to the war department every day
to copy the list of casualties cabled by
Gen. Otis. The pension attorneys then
ascertain the next of kin from the en-
llstment records. Correspondence is
opened with the soldier or his relatives
with view to obtaining authority to
prosecute claim. The authorities are
preparing to issue an order that will bar
pension attorneys hereafter from the de-
partment records. The zeal of the at
tOrneys, however, will enable them to
procure more clients, nevertheless. The
daily dispatches furnish the names of
the sick, wounded and killed.
The total number of enlistments for
the Spanish war and the Philippine in
surrectiOn was about 342 .000 Nearly
10000 of these were re. enlIstments, so
that the total of enlisted men is approx-
mately 300 900. Judging from the appli-
cations already filed. one soldier in every
IL has become pension seeker in less
than two years from date of the declara-
ton of war. While the showing is some
what of reflection upon the men who
are seeking government aid already, it is
more an evidence of the pernicious activ-
ity of the pension attorneys, who stop
at nothing to build up cases from which
fee may be collected.

Both Sides of the BOer Question.
Mirror and Farmer.

The Outlook reprints two articles from
its issue of Oct. 81. giving 1.-The Case for
the British" and "The Case for the
Beers Few readers will deny that the
British case is weak and the Boer side is
strong. Dr. Stewart, who sets forth the
British side. is at the head of mission
in Cape Colony. He finds that Cecil
Rhodes is an interesting man, and that
President Kruger is bigoted. He
enumerates the disabilities of the
/ Transvaal Outlanders, and then asks the
people of the United States: "Would
you like to live without these necessi
ties?" But that is not the point, and
Mr.. Van Selen, who speaks for the
Beers, shows the worthlessness of that
sort of argument. He enumerates each
of the grievances alleged by the Out
landers. and shows that in every instance
the same disabilities apply TO every
! foreigner in the United States at the
present moment The British in the
Transvaal refused to accept a franchise
by which they would renounce their
allegiance to Great Britain. They re.
manned, therefore, in exactly the same
status as Europeans in the United States
who refuse to be naturalized. Such
residents have no vote In the levying of
taxes, no voice in the payment of officials.
no control of education, no right TO sit
on jury. Great Britain would have the
same right to attack US on these counts
as to attack the Beers. 1t had no more
legal right to interfere " It'll the internal
affairs of the Transvaal than with those
of the United States. 1t has the right of
all nations to protect its own citizens
when they are being oppressed, but the
alleged suflerngs of the Outlanders are
discounted by the fact that no Outlander
regiment has thus far been heard of in
the British army. Most of them did not
want any imperial interference, and are
now simply disgusted because their
business has been interfered with.
Americans regret to see brave men killed
on either side, hut they cannot overlook
the fact that the British cause is weak as
a proposition of abstract Justice.

Catarrh is one Of the most obstinate

to get rid of.
There is but one way to cure it.
The disease is in the blood, and all the

in the world can have no permanent
effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe-

the only remedy which can reach the
disease and force it from the blood.

Mrs. FRASER'S TRIUMPH
Story Of Monument Fund

MCN Id Mrs. Fraser came out Of the

~ then hid the key under the mat on
the front porch. This done, she stood a
moment irresolute, and finally went slow
IL around the side OF the house to look once
more that the pantry window was locked.
Della at the gate watched her little i'm
patiently: DO come now. grandma, she
called. You have tried all the doors and
windows twice already -and there nobody
