A PARCELS POST
A General Demand From the People, but
Can't Have ID Because the Express
Companies Won't Let Them


One of the demands of the farmers
alliance was a parcels post and the
peoples party from the very beginning
has sustained that demand. But there
is no prospect, as long as the repub-
lican party is in power of the people
ever getting it. The express compa-
nies have too many senators and rep
resentatives like Platt and Loud look
ing after their interests. In this mat
ter the United States tails behind all
Europe and even Japan. Every once
in while some republican newspaper
comes out with a demand for it and
then when election day comes around
sure way Of eternaliy defeating the
demand. Even rural delivery was
forced upon an unwilling congress by
a populist, Tom Watson, who fought
for it until he got it started. In
commenting upon our way behind
postal service Leslie's Weekly says:
Rural delivery, which we are just
now introducing, has been in opera
tion in the British Isles, in Norway,
o"tOcu, anu OIl0l Iul OpCch CouhT
tries for many years. All these ma
tions, too, and Japan besides, have
had parcels post system for the
transmission of small parcels at mod
crate cost to domestic and foreign
points. But our postal department
has not only refused to adopt the par
Gel system in cooperation with Eu-
ropean countries, but is actually
throwing obstacles in the way of its
introduction here by imposing fee
of Is cents upon each package from
abroad passing through the customs
office. Our postal department seems
to proceed upon the assumption that
it should never do anything to inter-
fere with the parcel business of the
private express companies, but should
allow the latter to enjoy monopoly
Of this branch of the carrying trade.
WeAfail to see the justice and good
sense OF this idea, or why the Ameri-
can people should be longer denied a
privilege freely granted to citizens OF
most other civilized lands. 1t seems
to us that our postal officials have
been altogether too solicitOus to pre-
vent alleged abuses of the mails in
matters of weight and bulk, while
they have neglected methods for the
extension Of the postal business and
the accommodation Of the people
whose servitors they are"

A Methodist Bartender

The Wesleyans gave a "blow-out"
last week in honor of Governor-elect
M1ckey-Which was certainly proper
thing in view Of the active part the
governor has taken in behalf of the
Wesleyan university. The Independent
would not deny that institution any
pleasure the faculty and students
might take in ratifying Mr.. MicEey's
election. But they rather overdid the
thing III one particular. We quote
from the Lincoln Daily Star:
"a burlesque on the attitude of the
saloons in the late campaign gave flav-
or to the reception of Governor-elect
Mickey last evening at Wesleyan uni
versity. w. w. Hughes, student in
the university, felt his way to the ros-
trum in the course of the speaking,
garbed in the white apron of the Ger
man bartender. He was padded to a
literal Falstaff girth. In language and
the substance of his speech he neatly
caricatured those saloons which are
alleged to have been against Mr..
Mickey in the campaign"
In view of the cordial support given
Mr.. Mickey by certain of the Omaha
brewers, and the threats made against
the saloons generally if they didn't
fall in line and support the protege of
John N. Baldwin, it required consid
cradle of that commodity known as
gall for Mr.. Mickey to watch the an
tics of the pseudo Dutch beer-slinger.
alleged to have been against Mr..
Mickey in the campaign" is good. The
Star is cautious. Perhaps it knows
that it is only an "allegation
a weak one at that:
Chancellor Huntington averred that
Mickey had been elected Gin spite of
the devil"-a sentiment fully as in
spring as the "aricatures" by Mr..
Hughes. It would seem that these
gentlemen had been doing some Park
hurstian stunts and wanted to "show
off, before company.
John M. Stewart, one of the board
of trustees, of which Mr.. Mickey is
president, as we'll as chairman of the
county republican committee, made
the hit of the evening. He is a born
humorist, but doesn't know it. He
felt" says the Star, that the state is
in a condition identical to that of
the Wesleyan university several years
ago. Mr.. Mickey came to the rescue
of that institution and did nobly. He
had now come to the rescue of the
state and will do likewise"
If The Independent has the proper
recollection, a former management
looted the Wesleyan university treas
ury and somebody burned one of the
buildings. Well, republicans looted
the state treasury and burned state
buildings. Yes, those are identical
conditions" But the funny part is
that after employing a detective to
find the man who burned the college
building. Mr.. Mickey allowed the cul-
prit to leave the state unprosecuted.
Will he compound felonies and let
criminals go unpunished when he
reaches the governors chair. Rather
peculiar, too, that Mickey "has come
to the rescue" of state that was re
deemed two years ago."
Mr. Mickey expressed profound
gladness" that he is a Methodist and |
told about a Presbyterian who voted |
for him because he ran like steer"
He really didn't want the office, but |
took it because the people" John N.
Baldwin and conferees) wanted him
to serve" and he couldn't resist.

NO Deficiencies"

Readers of The Independent who
read republican papers during the past
campaign, and who attended republi-
can meetings, doubtless remember the
statements made by Deputy Attorney
General Norris Brown and Candidate
Mickey relative to republican steward
ship. After calling attention to the
fact that the legislature of 1901 appro-
priated $149,000 to cover "pOpullst de-
ficiencies," these gentlemen would SOL
emnly tell their hearers that the pres
ent republican administration would
"close the books on January 1, 1908,
witt out a deficiency" That was before
election. Since the election Auditor
Weston has completed his compilation
of the estimates submitted by state
officers and the heads of institutions
of the amounts necessary to maintain
state government for the two years be-
ginning April /, 1903. The total asked
is s3,1S4,30S, divided up about as fol-
lows:
Salaries .................. Sl ,z9l,z5o

lOIdl pOOO,OOU
And now comes the barefacedness
of the whole matter, after the
speeches made by Brown and Mickey.
See State Journal for November 12,
1902-nine days after election:
'"The auditors statement allows only
SIS. 900 for estimated Deficiencies much
of this being at the penitentiary. The
estimated cost of publishing the con-
stitutiOnaI amendment submitted at
the last election is $4,000. Not includ
ed in deficiencies is $35, 5000 for bounty
on four-footed wolves. A large pile of
unpaid claims is now heaped up in
the auditors office"

for deficiency claims was $125,000, yet
before the legislature got through with
the matter it appropriated $4,000.
If Weston's estimate is as close as was
Cornells, then the legislature of 1903
will have to appropriate about 100000
for deficiencies, Notwithstanding the
fact that the legislature of 1901 appro-
priated for current expenses 1927 900
more than did the legislature of 1899.

son between the present republican
administration and the fusion one that
preceded it may be summed up about

Engineer Courtney and Fireman Baker
Jump as Their Locomotive Crashed
Into caboose and Turned Over at

Engineer J. 7. Courtney was resting
very we'll yesterday and will recover
from the severe injuries received in
bad wreck on the Seaboard Airline
near Alamo the afternoon previous,
the result of a rear-end collision.
Through fast freight No. %, Americus
to Savannah, ran into the rear of a To-
cal freight taking water at tank near
Alamo, Seeing that collision was
inevitable, Engineer Courtney and
Fireman Ben Baker leaped from the
flying engine, No. 531 and a monster
machine, both landing upon opposite
sides of the creek. The fast freight
struck the caboose of the local, split
ting it in half as cleverly as one could
cut an apple. Fortunately the train
crew of the local freight were not in the
caboose at the time, else all might have
met instant and terrible death. The i'm
pact turned over the monster locomo-
tive, which lay on its side after the
smashup. Several freight cars were
splintered in the wreck. Engineer
Courtney was brought at once to
Americus, as was Fireman Baker,
whose injuries are slight. Engineer
Courtney sustained painful but not
serious injuries and was resting well
last night at his home here.
