New Orleans La, May 2.-The
Mississippi river, from Torras to a
point thirty miles south of here,
has more water within its banks
than ever before.
The continued pressure of the
floods has caused increased anxiety
for the safety of the remaining lev
ees in this district. Water from the
river now covers parts of thirteen
river parishes to depth ranging
from shallow pools to twenty-five
feet, and 1t is feared that any addi-
tional breaks in the levees will
greatly increase the heavy damage
already resulting from the floods.
The national government is now
supplying 10000 homeless Louisi-

est markets. New York, for
example. cannot sell to the soli-
tudes and the wastes of the
ocean. while Chicago can sell
TO the inhabitants within al
most an entire circle. Chicago
may argue that it is entitled to
the advantages of its geograph-
ical position. and that New
York must take its similar adj
vantages as nature bestows
them, oifsetting against any
loss such advantages as Chica-
go forfeits through its inland
position. The argument is con-
elusive SO long as business is
done on natural terms. But
competition ON terms of legal
inequality is another matter
about which more will be
heard. Probably it is within
the power OF Congress to enact
a system of postal zone charges.
But it is TO be remarked that
the country would not endure a
like system of charging on let.
ters. Moreover. the system
which Congress has enacted
has been condemned when as
serted by the Interstate Com
mcrce Commission. \ princi-
pie which sets up rates by thou
sands or millions plainly is

ting rates reasonable in them

1t was not a surprise to the
people that Governor Colds
borough appointed William p.
jackson United States Senator
last Saturday to ill the vacancy
in the Senate caused by the
death of Senator Rayner. As
intimated in this column last
week, Mr.. Goldsborough's cam
paign was financed largely by
Mr.. Jackson. with The under
standing that he was to have
the support of the administra-
tion in his candidacy. The idea
that some people had in their
heads before the election that
Mr.. Goldsborough was not a
machine politician, has been
dispelled within the last few
months. Circumstances have
compelled him TO show his true
colors, of which Eastern Shore
men were already acquainted
and it was no surprise to the
people of this section that the
Governor appointed Jackson.
He just had to do it. 1t was
part of the machine program.
and the Governor paid no more
attention to the Munsey protest
than he would have done at the
protest of the most ordinary in

The Postal Parcels Service

The postal savings system
came into existence with less
friction than was expected. and
the postal parcel system starts
under the same administration.
Hope of the same agreeable re-
suit is checked somewhat by the
difference in the cases. The
postal savings system was
started by degrees, the depart
ment having a discretion which
it utilized to produce favorable
conditions. The Postal Parcels
Service, however, is a full
fledged creation which produces
difficulties due to the dimen-
sions of the problem alone. And
it is handicapped further by
conditions imposed in the wis
dom of Congress which have a
wider bearing than the mere
success or failure of the new
accommodation TO the public.
which is eager for its success.
In the first place, the appropri-
alton for the service is made
quate, hardly sufiicing for the
maps, stationery, rate books,
and similar office requisites.
There is no allowance whatever
for horses, wagons, and so on.
These capital expenditures must
come out Of earnings. The ex-
pense of transportation is to be
met by requlsition on the rail
ways.
These are difficulties of detail.
and can be obviated. IL is diff
ferent with the system of
charges, which are a new de-
parture. Hitherto there has
been only one rate for mail SER
vice in the United States. The
new system is proportioned TO
distance, and causes inconven-
fences Of various sorts. One is
that all considerable users of
the parcels post will need to
have facilities for calculating
rates, and the preparation of
rate schedules has exhausted
tine $3.50, 900 allowed the Post
Office. In the aggregate the
cost TO users of the mails for
the same things will exceed the
cost to the Post Office, and there
is no recourse. The alternative
is to ask the rates at the Post
Office, a tedious process where
there are many parcels, and
embarrassing alike to the Post
Office and its patrons. The
zone system has the further OBJ
lection that payment according
to distance disturbs the princi-
Pile of equality of competition
for all parts of the country. On
the single rate plan all sellers
and all buyers were on terms of
even competition. On the zone I
system there is a gift to those
adjacent to good markets not
available to the same extent TO
those at greater distances. In
the case of individual buyers
this is of small consequence,
but when aggregated it is a
serious matter even to the larg-
