A PARCELS POST BILL.

Word comes from Washington that a
Plrcels Post Bill has been so far per-
iected as To obtain the approval OF the
House Committee on Post Offices and
Post Roads. 1t is a half-measure, pro-
vidng only for parcels service on rural
delivery routes. Rates and weight of
parcels aye fixed as follows: Parcels up to
I-24 cubic foot, or IX6XI2 inches,
and weighing not more than one pound,
cent; up to = cubic foot. or 6xI2xI7
inches, and weighing not more than II
pounds s cents; larger parcels, not ex-
Ceeding IS pounds in weight, 10 cents.
No parcel more than six feet in length
will be carried, and no carrier shall be
called on to transport more than 500
pounds at time. The bill further pro-
vides that all parcels collected and deliv-
cred along rural routes shall be con-
sdered as of one class and subjected
to the rates given.
1t will be observed that the bill follows
the scheme of installation SO urgently
recommended by former Postmaster
General Never There is doubt whether
It can be carried against the opposition
OF the express companies and their rail-
road hackers. These interests well
understand that such legislation would
lead the way to the establishment of
general system of parcels and the diver
sion Of great sums of money that now
go into private pockets to swell the
postal revenues and wipe out yearly
deficits.

OPINIONS OF REPUBLICAN
EDITORS OF THE EAST.

The Chicago Tribune, the leading Re
publican newspaper of the middle west,
which some months ago polled the Re
publican editors of the western States TO
ascertain their views on the Aldrich tar
if LAW has lust made public the result
OF its more recent poll of eastern Repub-
liCan editors on the same subject. The
result shows that the eastern newspaper
men of the Republican persuasion are, If
anything, even more strongly opposed to
the Aldrich tariff than their western
brethren
Seven hundred and seventy one Re
publican editors in the States east of the
Alleghenies answered the TiTbaRe'S ques-
tons OF these 500 declared that they
1871 do endorse it, Six hundred and sew
enty assert that Cannon is not their choice
for Speaker, while I5r are willing to go
on record in Uncle Joe's favor.
Perhaps the most astounding feature
of the I}I5mS'S poll is the fact that
the opposition to the Aldrich tariff law
is found to be stronger in rock rib.
bed New England shan in any other
section OF the country The west is
no longer the seat OF insurgency. The
movement mas spread 10 all the points
OF the compass. A larger percentage
of Republican editors are against the
tariff in New England than in the west
The ItibH1e'S figures show S2.5 per cent
of the New England Republican news
papers against the tariff, as compared
with "a per cent in the Middle States, III
per cent III the West and 62.S per cent in
the South. The percentage fer the coun-
try at large Is 74.G per cent, or practically
three-fourths of the Republican press Of
the nation lined UP against the policy Of
the administration in the matter of the
tariff.
The press is reflex of the people. 1t
is not unreasonable TO assume that the
percentage of Republican newspapers re-
| corded for and against the Aldrch tariff
law is fair representation Of the attitude
OF the individual members OF the Repub
lean party on the same question. There
is little reason 10 doubt that hree-fourths
of the Republican voters Of the country
are disguised with the administration

election in Massachusetts, where Re-
publican majority of IA, 900 in a Congress

into a Democratic majority of over 5000,

BALTIMORE THEATRES.

MARIE DRESSLER AT THE AUDITORIUM.
Miss Marie Dressler will next week
make her appearance at the Auditorium,
when she will be seen in her new mus
ical comedy, TITLES Nightmare This
vehicle was provided especially for her
use by Edgar Smith and A. Baldwin
Sloane, Baltimore boy, and was pro-
duced under the direction of Ned Way
burn, general stage director for Lew
Fields, who is directing the tour of Miss
DresSler.
Miss Dressler has been seen in Balti-
more before, and the impression that
she created at that time was SO favorable
that there is but little doubt that she
will be given a most hearty and royal
welcome by the local theatre-goers.
Miss DRESSER is a Coincidence of the
first rank, and "Tillle's Nightmare, J"
is said to be exactly suited to her talents
and abilities. 1t has been described as a
long, loud laugh, and the situations
which arise out of the story of Titles
dream, are overwhelmingly funny. Miss
Dressler has two songs, 'Peaven VIII
Protect the Poor Working Girl" and
I'm Tight, y both of which have found
POPQidl idNOI MllClCNCl bllCl lciNS DNSiA
given. In the last scene Miss DRESSER
gives burlesque on Maude Allen and
her story dance" which is said to be
inimitable. Reports which have come
from the cities where TITLES Night
mare" has already been seen are to the
effect that it is one of the seasons big
hits, and that Miss Dressler has the best
role that she has ever played.
MARIE CAHILL AT FoRD's.
AT Ford's, beginning next Monday
night, Marie Cahll will present her
newest musical success, The Boys and
Betty" in which she had an extended
engagement last season at Wallack 5
Theatre, New York. The Boys and
Betty" is the joint composition
of George Y. Hobart, who furnished
the book and lyrics and Silvio Helm,
who provided the music. Undoubtedly
this new musical play, as it is called,
is one of the best vehicles that Miss Ca
hill has yet had in her stellar career,
and on its first production it was uni
versally praised by the New York critics,
who declared it to be the one sane and
consistent presentation of the kind to
have been seen up to that time. 1t is an
adaptation of a French farce, ia Pa
Pillon," which itself had great vogue in
Paris, aud Just enough of the Pa
risian flavor has been retained by Mr..
Hobart to give it piquancy, but without
any of the disagreeable features TO be
found in the French adaptations. The
scenes are laid in France The com
pany is said to be one OF the best that
she has yet had in her support There
will be an exceptionally large orchestra,
which will be directed by the composer
of the music, Silvlo Helm. There will be
the usual matinees.

Two-Cent Rate to Be Withdrawn
By the B. & o.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany took advantage of the decisions Of
the courts in declaring the two-cent rate
law unconstitutional and will increase the
price of passage for points east from >
cents to 8 cents per mile. Notices were
received by agents in Connellsville, Un-
iontown and other places affected in.
structing them about the change.
Travellers to Pittsburg and intermediate
points will not yet feel the pinch of the
courts decision. Owing to competition
in that direction the two-cent rate will re-.
main in effect until all railroad companies
return to the three-cent CoanelZs-
nile Courier.

THE Washington correspondent of the

the Republican leaders admit that the
next House will be Democratic. and they
profess to be glad of it They expect.
they say that Democratic laundering in
the House will make the Republicans
certain Of carrying the Presidential and
Congressional elections of 1912. Demo
cratic laundering has been great COM
fort TO Republicans-when there was no
other comfort to be had. The Democrats
elected eight Houses out of ten between
1874 and 1892, SO that if the Democrats
did a lot OF laundering ii was OF a rather
popular sort. In 1890 the Democrats
elected the biggest majority there has
been in the House since the South came
back, and the kind OF laundering prac-
tlced by them was so popular that in 1902
the country elected Democratic Presi-
dent. several States that were supposed
to be safely Republican giving HIM their
electoral vote. The Democrats will elect
the next House because the Republicans
have blundered so disastrously. and next
November's victory will be merely the
precursor of the greater victory the Dem
ocrats will win in 1914
