Ot the business ot the great express companies with a view to establishing a par eel past in connection with the postof6ce department. The express companies have filed new rates with the In terstate Commerce Commis- sion, greatly reducing the for mer rates of transportation. This shows that they are afraid of a parcel post. Con- gressmen and Senators have been receiving many strong letters from their constituents from all parts of the country, urging them to pass the par eel post bill, and 1t is not be- lieved that 1t will be very much longer before such will be done. We are far behind European countries, which have had parcel posts for many years.
 Fully a year ago the New York merchants Association and large number of similar commercial organi t tio ons throughout the country, ap- pealed to the Interstate Com merce Commission for an in- vestigation of the great ex- press companies of the coun- try. The Commission has finally woke up," and de clared a few days ago that it would conduct a sweeping 1n- vestigation. Immedi e y there was put out by the ex- press companies complete new sets of tariffs, giving substan- tial reductions. The case presented by the commercial organizations has been care fully prepared. The express companies evidently realized that their way of doing busi- ness would have to undergo a radical change, and it will be interesting to know just how their own reforms will work out in meeting the objections that are commonly urged from all parts of the country.
 The Democrats are making substantial progress towards the introduction of a parcel post delivery. As soon as a serious effort is made in Con- gress to establish a parcel post department of the post office, the great express com panies come forward with the small country merchant as a bugaboo who claims that his business will be practically ruined if the parcel post is es- tablished. Well, 1t is true, a great many farmers would buy some of their merchandise at
 larger industrial centers than
 from the small country mer- chant, but 1t Is nevertheless
 true that the country mer- chant would be benefited in i stead of being injured there
 by for the reason that the par l eel post by which the post
 office could carry merchandise
 at low rates up to II pounds, would greatly promote the | prosperity of the entire coun-

A BaSeblll IEcident.

The great American public, Justly
famed for its inSiSttnce upon fair
play and its unvarying sympathy
for The under dog in a fight, was
tempted to chuckle over an incident
on the baseball field IN Cincinnati
the other day, when Umpire Klein
stopped a rush toward hun by Man
ager Roger Bresnaham. of the ST
Louis team, with right-hand wal
lop on the jaw. For many wears
the man with the indicator has been
helpless while the players and the
crowd have heaped abuse upon him.
1t has been necessary to secure for
the job men who cannot be moved
by cries of Kill 'im," Lynch i'm"
and the hke-men who will stand
for all sorts of uncomplimentary
epithets without so much as retorl-
ing "Now you stop"
SO when Mr. KLEIN placed his
punch on the counienanco of Mr..
Bresnahan it locked like the worm
had turned at last, and the sympa-
thetic public waxed gleeful. But
alas! The president of the league
has fined the puguacious "ump,"
thereby sustaining the right of
everybody on the lot to continue
waiting and beating the umpire
He must not forget that he is there
to be abused, aud he must not re-
sent it. The right Of the bleacher-
lie to yell "hill de empire" must be
safeguarded at all hazards
