ing man: this. too. In spite Of the fact
that the Wholesale cost OF these
articles in the English market IS
higher than the wholesale cost in the
United States. The superior British
system OF retailing or Of transporting
small merchandise was given the
credit for the distribution TO retail
purchasers OF the necessaries OF life
at a lower price than the same goods
were sold to buyers in the United
States.
Express charges on small fruits.
vegetables and products OF any kind
are so abnormslly high that this
method of distribution which is much
used throughout Great Britain and
Europe is almost prohibited in the
United States. II is an open secret
that the important express company

a parcels post system. reaching every
town and hamlet in the United States.
The ,Intelligencer believes that this
should be brought about. regardless of
express companies. II they cannot
be controlled and operated by the gov
eminent. then the government can
control and operate it's own system
independently OF express companies.
Simply as food for thought. the fol

by express in Argentina is 1851. in
the countries OF Europe si12. while
the average express charge per ton
in the United States. is $500.

PIrrseuRe CITY GOVERNMENT

Pittsburg's new commission form of
government is now a reality. Here
after the big city at the forks OF the
Ohio river will be governed by a
mayor and a councilmanic body OF
nine members. The first council has
been appointed BY the governor OF
the state. and has already assumed
office. II Is needless TO speculate
upon the results that will come from
this radical change In municipal al.
fairs Of our sister city. Pittsburg
has been VIGOROUSLY corrupt It's
councilmanic body Of some sixty or
seventy members has apparently ex-
listed solely for the gain OF its own
members. Franchises have been sold.
privileges have been given away cor
ruptly. The present change came
about largely as a result OF the coun-
cilmanic scandals Of a YEAR ago.
The tendency Of municipal govern
ment in this country is distinctly to-
wards smaller governing bodies
Whether they are called commissions
or whether they are called boards Of
council. the creation OF centralized
authority and the placing Of respon
sih77ty on a few men is the distinct
tendency in municipal government.

CHAMPION LETTER
WRITER IN TEXAS
San Antonio Citizen Sends
Dollar Bill With His
Epistle.

Real life-Texas life in San Antonio
NL2Ar the Alamo-has produced a steadier
teadier, reader letter writer than Mr..
toots in "Dombey and Son." Mr.. Toots
wrote letters to men high in councils
Of war and state. San Antonio has a
citizen who not only writes to Postmas-
ter General Hitchcock, Gen. George
Washington, Halley's Comet, and other
celebrities, but sends a long green dol
Rr with each letter to make its recip-
Rnt remember him.
He started with Postmaster General
Hitchcock early in December. He sent
a Christmas card bearing the fervent
prayer, God help all those abroad -
which was appropriate, because home
coming Americans were being arrested
and fined and scared half to death by
customs officials.
Postmaster General Hitchcock vas not
abroad. but he graciously acknowledged
receipt of what seemed to be the greet
ing of a person so filled with the milk
of human kindness that he 1eGIined to
let distance or lack of formal introduc-
ton stand between himself and those
abroad.
Begins to Send Money.
Then the San Antonio ready letter
writer began to wonder If he wouldn't
be doing the proper thing if instead of
merely writing he came on in person
He decided that Face to Face" mus.
be his song. So he took his pen in
hand again, and wrote down the state
ment that he was coming to Washing
ton to see the Postmaster General and
the other Cabinet members, and, there
fore sent 81 for each.
He thought 81 for each side show
after he saw the President, to whom he
sent nothing, was sufficient. A few
DAYS later he sent 81 to General Wash
ington, and a few days after that u
TO Halley's comet. They came through
the Postofice Department, which dis
claimed any responsibility for the ap.
parttion of the intended recipient OF
either of the last contributions.
The ready letter writer did not come
to ashington-probably because ms
money was returned to him, and ms
feelings were hurt. So he began to
write of impersonal matters.
Writes to Keep Warm.
"Thinking it awful cold" he wrote
during the recent cold snap in Texas,
'T thought I would write you few
lines. You will excuse me In not WITT
ing a long letter, as 1 have no fire
in nv room. Even Fido is freezing"
FYdo was happy thought. He writes
again about him: A.,
''It will not be a long letter 1 will dis,
turb you with. 1t is something L VIII
tell you about Fido. He is sure good
hunting dog"
And that is all about Fido. The rest
of the history Of that mighty hunter IS
as shrouded in mystery as the story OF
''Old Flint in the Gun-room' In She
Stoops to Conquer"
For it is quite possible the public Will
not hear about faithful Fido and the
ready letter writer any more. He Is all
right, v understand, the postoffice in
spectors have reported, but his fondness
for sending money and letters to public
officers amoonts lowell, an obsession.
And his family has been told about II.
v understand, and the poor fellow will
be asked to do as Mr.. Toots did-just
write the letters.

The men were arrested yesterday

SO note on the outside, and although the
details of the easy-money scheme were
