HUGE CITY IMPROVEMENTS

80 far as its revenues and expendi-
lures are concerned. and the vast i'm
provements it undertakes, the munici.
pality of Greater New York is run on
n national scale. Many independent
nationalities have neither the popula-
tion, the wealth. nor the ability to ac-
complish great things, that is possessed
by Greater New York,
That city has vast deep.water
frontage: but her piers lack com-
modiousness in view of the tremendous
length of modern steamships: so she
is putting in piers OF uneXampled
length, sloping quartering from the
shore instead of standing at
right angle as heretofore. The con.
gcstion of traffic long ago made Gle.
waited transit necessary. but now that
is inadequate. aud the huge subways
put in are also insufficient. so that more

track subways are now under coustruc-

expense OF s62 100000. says a report

And th9t sort OF work must continue

MEASURES OF DAMAGES.

Because of the fact that there is so
much irregularity in the measure OF
personal damages as awarded by the
courts. some of the States have sought
by legislation and otherwise to give
standards of valuation for death caused
by blameworthv accidents. and for the
loss Of various portions OF the human
anatomy. Perhaps the most detailed
measures OF the compeusations that
ought 10 be paid on various accounts

that adopted by the Michigan Indus

LOOTING FOR STATE PURPOSES.

1t will be remembered that the ad.
iournment OF the late session of Con-
gress was much interfered with by the
disagreement between the Senate and
the House on the merits of some an
cient State claims. The Senate, COM
posed Of members directly represent

| those old claims, lust as Tillmau a few
wears ago held up Congress to pay
disputed claim of South Carolina. He
was able to force the appropriation,
although the National treasury officials
denied in toto the validity of the claim.
1t was in line with the Tillman tactics
that Senators from a number of the
States have Just undertaken a hold.up
on the National treasury, Fortunately,
they failed; but it is announced from
Washington that "The fight to secure

THE PARCELS POST ZONES

In spite of the protests of those who
stand for progress and for maintaining
such progress as has been obtained, Sen
ator Bourne of Oregon succeeded in
grating upon the parcels post law his
idea Of zones Of traffic and of charges
The postal service used 10 have such
zones. II charged rates of postage ac-
cording to distance to which tho mat
TER mailed had to be carried But with
the advance of postage facilities and
postal ideas. and with fhc establish
ment Of the International Postal Union,
all those rudimentary ideas passed away
from the postal system, and now let
ter goes to any part of the United
States or to any couLtry with which we
have the postal arrangements, for two
cents. Formerly letter TO California
from the East cost ten cents for trans
mission; now there is no such dlstinc-
ton, happily for the people who desire
and arc used to uniformity in all these
matters.
But Senator Bourne succeeded In put
ting the parcels. post service on the old
system, and making zones Of transmits
sion with different charges for long
and short distances. Under the par
cells post legislation passed at the Con-
gressional session which has just ad-
journed, an eleven-pound package,
(Which is the greatest weight which
can bo scnt.) would be thirtyfive aud
forty-six cents respectively in the first
and second of the complicated zones es-
tabished in the law. IT will be easy
for the express companies not only to
compete against this sort of parcels post
service, but TO afford the public bet
| ter facilities and cheaper rates. The
Government parcels post will be useful
in the rural delivery, and in the coun-
try postofficcs where there is no ex-
press office. But wherever there is an
express office, the express companies
can beat The parcels post, both in
quickness of transmission and in cheap
ness of service.
In thus insisting upon the zone sys-
tom. Senator Bourne has rendered the
greatest service he could possibly have
| rendered to the express companies. He
puts the United States also on an an
tiquated foundation in its parcels post
service that is unknown in any other
country. According to his zones, a
citizen Of the United States would have
10 pay varying postal rates according
to distance within this country; but
If he wished to. send parcel to Can
ada, to Mexico. to Great Britain, to
France, or to Germany, the zone sys.
tenn would not interfere; there would
be uniform rate. Tt is only in the
United States that tho primitive zone
system prevails for tho parcels post, and
the people Of the United States, it ap-
pears, have to thank for it Senator
Bourne of Oregon. a man who makes
fervent (but it appears futilo) boasts
Of his progressivcness and his desire for
the greatest possible service to the pco-
