GRAFTON it vas estimated by its most
sanguine advocates that it would put
at least $4,000 900 per annum on he
right side of the ledger, and now it
turns out that double that sum will
be the pofit. .
The whole country knows the vast
superiority of the service given by the
parcel post to that rendered by the
express companies. OF course, the
chief advantage is in the saving on
charges. How many million dollars
this amounts to In a year it is impos-
sible to accurately estimate, but the
sum is certainly a huge one. A sin
gle instance in Nashville will
serve as an illustration. A pack
age from Chicago was delivered to al
resident there on which the express
charges were IS cents. A week later
the same package, in the same con-
tanned, was returned to the Chicago
shipper by parcel post at a cost of 1S
cents. Comment would seem to be
unnecessary.
With the growth Of business the
parcel post will be widened and
cheapened. Steps in these directions
have already been taken and tho in
formation is that Immediately follow
ing the lowering of rates and the in
crease of weight limit within certain
distances, an immense increase in the
number of shipments occurred. When
the whole country shall be covered by
these changes there Is certain to be
an enormous addition to the volume
of parcel post matter.
But let no one envy the postal
clerks, especially with the Christmas
holidays SO near.

Baltimore Sun: Can Murphy

body will ask and which only time

boss was never more thoroughly dis
credited than he has been by the re-
suit OF Tuesdays election. Not only
has he been submerged in New York,
but his campaign Of blunders has
handed over the New York state as
sembly to the republicans. Tammany

other ch%ieftain in charge. but the
public will gain nothing by d change
spirit Of Tammany is changed. The

Wilson's Leadership Appoxsd.

Brooklyn Citizen: The notable fact
about the elections for democrats to
ponder over, is the discrimination
shown by the voters in standing by
the democratic candidates and organ
izations which co-operated with Pres
Jersey; Blair Lee, in Maryland; Mr..
Walsh, in Massachusetts, and Mr..
Mitchell, in this city, came before the
electorate as Wilson democrats, rec
ognizing the national party leader
ship of the president. All of them
were elected. Notwithstanding the fact
that q federal administration is gem
orally regarded as weakest the year
following its entrance into office.

Mr.. Lind Should be Cautious.

New York Press: 1t Is no more than
natural that there should be a great
deal of ill-feeling against the United
States In Mexico these days. In the
circumstances why did Mr.. Lind make
that obviously futile journey from
Vera Cruz to the capital? He must
know that If a prominent American
should be killed in Mexico just now
the result here might be similar to
the uprising that followed the blowing
up of h Maine. If Lind does not
fear for himself he ought to be eau
tious for the sake of preserving the
peace until the crisis has passed.

Chicago Record-Herald; . If. you
think the delay in the passage Of a.

solely to a desire on the part Of the

Transcript story that Indians were
permitted to leave the Standing Rock

buffalo in the country south Of Dick

killing buffalo on the prairies south
as late as 1884, hence the report that
there were bison in the country in

added that the Duke Alexis and party
from Russia slaughtered many hun
dreds of buffalo in the years named.
