The Parcels Post.

A member of the British Parliament
discusses the parcels post systems of
Europe in the Arena. He also criti-
ciseS the American postal system as
being immature, and says that we
must before long come to the two
cent postage rate and establish the
parcels post. We notice an editorial on
the same subject in our contemporary,
the Ohio Farmer, in which they quote
the remark of Mr.. Wanamaker, form
erly Post Master General, saying that
there were for inSuperable obstacles
to the establishment of a parcels post
in this country the four great EX-
press Companies. SO long as the Pres
ident of one of these is a Senator from
a great State, and the Senate of the
United States is no longer composed of
great statesmen who adorned it in the
time of Webster and Calhoun, but is
filled with the attorneys of great cor
porationS, there is little hope that the
interests of the great public will be
favorably considered. The people can
at times get measures through the
House where the men they vote for are
and who are looking closely after
public opinion in their States. but
when it comes to the Senate it seems
that the corporations and trusts are
entrenched there, and rule the coun-
try through their agents in the Senate.
The time is at hand when the people,
the common people all over the coun-
try. who are tired of the impositiOns
of the express companies should rise
and demand that Congress of the
United States shall enact laws that the
whole people want and need to res
train the rapacitY of the common car
riers, the railroads and express COM
panies Even a senator can understand
when the public opinion of his State
gets to the point of demanding
change, and when they are lombard
ed with letters from all over their
states showing that there is a popu-
lar demand for parcels post it Will
finally come. But Senator's as we'll
as Representatives, must come to
know that their places are in danger.
and that the people are going to
send men there and to the state Leg
islatures who will look more after the
general interests of the public. The
American people are Ions suffering,
but when they once make up their
minds for a change, a change Will
come and the day is coming when
the corporate power will be shorn Of
some of its influence in the councils
of the Nation. Then we may have
return to craftsmanship in Congress.
The power of the voters on the farms
was we'll shown in the oleo legislation.
and if exerted in like manner 1t VIII
compel the enactment of a parcels
post.

surrounded the wagon, and every
horse was eating corn-stalks, and the

came out with her apron waving, and
said "Shoo,' but none of the animals
shoOed worth a cent, and pa pulled or

of the parade came into\ the farm
and lined up. The drivers yelled at
pa to know where in thunder he was
going, and pa said: "Damfino"
Just then the manager and chief of
police came up, and the way they
talked~to pa was awful. Pa couldn't
explain how it was that he took the
parade out into the country, and you
never saw such a time.
BY this time the regular drivers had
arrived on a special, from where we
left them with hot box. and they
took possession of the teams, and we
got back to the circus lot in time for
the afternoon performance. | don't
know what they are doing to pa, but
they had him in the managers tent
all the afternoon with some doctors
examining him for insanity.

When my eyes opened / saw a sight

when the horses fell down, the chariot
and the other two horses and pa and
had landed all in a heap right on top
of the lemonade and peanut conceS-
sion and carried it up into a row of
seats near the main entrance from
the menagerie. The elephants that
were to come on next were in the
door waiting for their signal, and they
were scared at the crash, and they
came in believing, the keepers haV-
ing lost all control of them. The au-
dience was stampeding, and the cir
Gus men were trying to straighten
things out.
Pa struck on his head against a
wagon wheel and his brass helmet was
driven down over his face, so when
he yelled to be pulled out of the he'll
met his voice sounded like a coon
song, coming from a photograph. It
was the closest call from death pa
ever had, cause they had to cut the
helmet with a can opener to let pa
out, like you open a can of Holsters.
When they got the helmet opened. SO

owner of the circus come up on a
run, and asked if pa was dead. pa
said: mot much, Mary Ann; did /
VIM and the manager said it was
a pity they ever opened that helmet
and let pa out. The man told pa
he won in a walk, but the chief of
police of Scranton was going to ar
rest pa for exceeding the speed limit.
They took pa to the dressing-room,
on a piece of board, and when the
woman driver saw him, she got an
ak, and wanted to Cleave him from
head to foot but the bearded woman
stepped in front of her and said: Not
on your life" and she shielded pa
from death with her manly form,
which pa says he shall never forget.
Pas old friends in Scranton gave him
a banquet that night, but pa couldn't
eat anything, cause the rim of the
brass helmet cut "a cash in his Adams
apple.
After the chariot race the managers
concluded they wouldn't let pa have
any position of importance again very
soon, and l made up my mind you
wouldn't ever catch me in any game
that pa was in; but in the circus bu
siness you can never tell what is 60
ing to happen from one day to anOth
er.
On the train on the way to Wilkes
Barre there was a hot box on one of
the sleepers. and the car was side
tracked all night.
When we arrived at the town about
40 wagon drivers that were in the car
did not show up, and they had to
press everybody that could drive a
team into the service to haul the stuff
to the lot, and pa drove four horses
so well with a load of tent poles that
the manager complimented pa, and
that gave pa the big head. When
the parade was all ready to start
through town, and the drivers had
not arrived, the manager asked pa
if he thought he could drive the ten
gray horses on the band wagon, 10
lead the procession, and pa said driv-
ing ten horses was his best hold, and
he got up on the drivers seat, and
called me to get UP with him. and
| hate a boy that will disObey parent.
so / climbed up and began to jolly
the band about the chariot race, and
I told them pa wouldn't do thing
to them this time.
The manager of the show always
rides ahead of the parade, with the
chief of police of the town, and the
band horses follow him, so it is easy
enough to drive ten horses, cause all
you have to do is to hold on to the
20 lines, and look savage at the crowd
on the sidewalks, and the horses go
right along, and the people think the
driver is a wonder. So when the man
ager started in his buggy pa pulled
up on all theNines he could hold on TO,
which filled Dis lap, and made him
look like a harness maker, and he
yelled: "Ye-up," and the procession
moved and the ten teams pa was
driving went along all right, and pa
looked as though he owned the show
and the town.
We got downtown, to a wide street.
and there was a fire alarm ahead, or
something, as the procession stopped,
and the manager and chief of police
disappeared, and there was a wagon
load of green cornstalks right beside
the lead team, which a farmer was
taking to a silo, but he had stopped
