PARCELS POST IN GERMANY.

To the Editor. of the News: -
In a recent letter. going the rounds
of the press, purporting to have been
written by United States Senator
Hitchcock, Of Nebraska; he is quoted
as saying: ''Do you know that in.

perfection Of the Parcel Post Sys-
tenn, the patrons are compelled to
call at the railroad station for what
comes by the parcels post, and are
compelled to take to the station the

Such ignorance in a United States
Senator can only be accounted for
ON the supposition that this Senator
was educated at the same schools
from which a majority Of the men,

and Senate graduated, to defeat

States Express Company: and the
fourth, which completes the faculty
of this school from which a majority
of our Representatives in the past
have been graduated was TIL
