WHAT MILL SuLZER pO7

When Judge Hasbrouck of the su- preme court of New York state denied the habeas corpus writ in behalf of Joseph Robin who had been >Sardon- ed by Governor Sulzer, he quickly de- cided the point which the governor has been most anxious about and in a
 manner in accordance with the facts in the case. The entire matter reVolved about the authority which Governor Sulzer had following the action of the legislature, and also the effectiveness of the impeachment proceedings. The state has suffered no little embarrass- ment because of Sulzer's claim to au- tilority from the fact that he claimed the action of the legislature was inn proper. His effort to pardon Robin provided the opportunity to test his power and the decision is against him.
 What his course should now be is well defined. whether he decides to fol- low it or not Instead of continuing to insist upon fighting for the authority from which he has been separated. his efforts can best be devoted to reliev- ing the state of its dual governorship and putting the charges which stand against him in the right light before the people. Such would be in accord ance with good advice which has been given him The test leaves him noth- ing else to do. It is the indictment which should give him the most con cern at the present time. Upon the outcome of that rests the Judgment of the people Should he regain his au- thOrity by any means unless he shows the charges false his political future IS doomed

PARCEL. POST.

Tn keeping with a great many other changes, which have proved of inn mense value to the nation. there was a well organized opposition to the in auguration of the parcel post service by this government, There were all kinds of dire results predicted by bus mess houses because of the fear that it would greatly effect their trade. It was urged that the jobber would suf- fer in particular, but it remains to be pointed out that any injury worth mentioning has been inflicted upon the jobbing trade It is true that parcel post is but eight months old but it has manifested a healthy con dition from the start and none of those predictions have materialized.
 Parcel post has been on trial in many ways and if it has proved that it was not intended to. and has not injured legitimate business, it has in it's infancy overcome much opposition and brought many friends to it's sup port The system on the other hand has demonstrated that it was all that was claimed for it. if not more. IL has come to the relief of the public in the transportation of small parcels and it's benefits and possibilities in crease every day.

CONSULAR APPOINTMENTS.

Action in accordance with his ex- pressed opinion was taken by the president in making his long list of consular appointments. He recognized the merit system in the matter of these selections in spite of the fact that in filling some of the smaller diplomatic posts with new and mex perienced men he ignored the import ant considera ton. If his present at titude can be considered as meanings that henceferth he intends to make such appointments in accordance with the ecpgnized idea of Tewarding ser vice and obtaining the highest degree of efficiency for the posts, there is cause for general satisfaction. It means the carrying out of the plan which has been followed by the last two administrations and one which, after due consideration of it's effect cannot but receive the highest com mendation,
 Such appointments as have been made are but the recognition of the training which these men have received in the identical work which they are to continue. They are manifestly much better fitted to look after the details than inexperienced hands who must depend upon assistants and clerks to properly carry on the work. The method offers an encouragement to the giving of better study and ap- plieation to the requirements of the office by the younger men in the ser vice and means that at least in this branch of the government the example for it's extension to the other and higher branch is given.
