TIE pARcELS POST.

1t will come into effect, we are told. upon
April l. but it is no joke of the festival OF FOOLS.
We are really at last to have parcels post SER
vice between this country and that other coun-
try with which we need it most, Great Britain
The arrangement which should have been
made long ago is at last complete After this
week it will be about as easy TO send small
packet of merchandise to England as to send
it from one part of this city to another Indeed,
it will actually cost little less in postage fees,
while in respect to weight and size and other
details the service will be fairly generous.
This is a great gain But IL is STEP and
nothing more. 1t is not a fnality. There is
most need of a parcels post with Great Britain;
but there is much need of such a system be-
tween this country and every other civilized
country under the sun. We shall not be salts
fed until there is parcels post liberal
terms with every member Of the International
Postal Union. There is urgent need that this
shall be effected, a need that is growing every
day
For the Importance of such postal facilities Is
increasing. Telegraph and telephone have not
supplanted the mail bag. They have taken
away some of its business, but they have actu-
ally developed and created more than they have
taken away. If people often use these newer
and more rapid methods of communicating their
thoughts, they have all the more need of the
older method of interchanging material objects
The more telegraphing and telephoning there
is. the more goods will be ordered and the more
them promptly safely and cheaply. We may
talk by lightning, but we cannot thus convey
goods. For the latter purpose the parcels post
is needed, and every step toward the complete
satisfaction of that need is cordially to be well
coined.

sentatives of the United States and China in
determining a feasible gold and silver ratio.
Public sentiment has been fully accustomed to
the change of standards, and business interests
have had ample time TO adjust themselves to
the new order. Mexico is not attempting to do
what the United States does-to keep outstand-
ing silver coins in circulation at twice their
real value With her smaller resources that
would prove burdensome, perhaps an impossi-
BILE, task. But with the old pesos current at
practically their bullion value there should be
little or no trouble in maintaining parity.
The decree just issued by President Diaz marks
a notable step forward in Mexican progress. 1t
guarantees our southern neighbor secure and
stable monetary system makes her internal
development by foreign capital more easy and
inviting, and lifts her to a level on which she
can better claim her due share of the world
business and commerce.

I'VE are greatly pleased said MIR. Wilcox. for
this 100000 means much more to u.s. a small

cross the Atlantic In competition for the prize
offered by the German Emperor. In fact. it
will be the greatest oceanic struggle which has
yet taken place among pleasure vessels. and
