This country may profit by the experience of European nations rnllie development of theirpostal systems; but it would be folly to - follow slavishly their example. The vast area of the United States and the comparative sparseness of its population made it impracticable to carry into effeet at onee all the improvements which the-- experience of Europe approves. The administration of the department was wise in making ex-- , t periments with postal savings banks before establishing them through-tothe country; but the success achieved shpws that the larger ven ture may now be made7 In like manner itis prudent to move With caution in establishing pareels-pos- t routes. If the service shall prove satisfactory on rural routes, it may ultimately be extended to the en' . tire postal system It will be impracticable, however, to provide ford lie delivery of parcels by mail for the same rate per pound to all parts of the United States. Service of that kind may be expedient in small but densely populated countries ; but in the United States it would involve too great an expense in proportion to revenue. At the same time it would distort the commercial relations of different sections with one another, by making it practicable for mail-ordhouses in" the East to cripple the trade of Western competitors for Western trade. There could be no justification in taxing the people to destroy the advantage which under normal .conditions a Western dealer derives from proximity to the market to be supplied. - Smart availeth wA7HAT SuitTV 7 tne Last Word tHe - What profiteth in Collars and its Postscript in Hatsor Neckties if the Young Ians Shoes postal-saving- belated.

THE VALENTINE STATE. , ' Because it was admitted on February 14 Arizona is to bear the name of the Valentine Stater" Its officials sought to have its entrance take place on February 12, so as to have it coincide with the Lincoln buthday anniversary, but it seems to have been impracticable for tV that day, and the matter went president to sign the proclamation ovegto the 14th. While as a nickname' the Lincoln State would have been preferable to its present designation, the latter will be accept able. The fact of admission is the large consideration, and this comes - after many years of endeavor on the part of its leading citizens!7 Amcma hasjme distinctionwhich will" be likely to cling to it.

The roll of states comprises forty-eigh- t names, and pone is likely to be added to theJist until the twentieth century is well along in years. t Under the terms in which it was admittedju 1845 Texas is permitted to divide itself into four other, states, but as the permission of its own people as well as the permission of Congress .will have to be obtained before ady division of any sort can take place, nobody now alive is likely to see -- the --dimensions of that big commonwealth curtailedTTts people believe that some day it will be the empire state in the number its inhabitants, and perhaps that ' hope is justified. ' Where will the forty ninth and the fiftieth states come from! Perhaps from Alaska and Porto Rico. Alaska has much morq than double the area of Texas. It would make twelve states of the dimensions of New York. But Alaskas population is small, being only 64,000. Some wants ip New York City have more people than are in the entire province of Alasks.
