It was organized at q time when states
manship and not mere capacity for money

THE physical surroundings IN Russia
are not dissimilar to those of New jersey
The land is only partially cultivated; it
is mostly fiat, in many places marshy, and
in others covered with a growth of infe-
rior wood. Imagine New Jersey magni-
fed by 10000, and you can form picture
sof Russia. The temperature in July and
August is very like that experienced by
Kew Jersey in May and June. Any of
you will be surprised to learn that sibe-
ria, about which we have heard such ter
r,ble stories, is the best and richest prov
ince in Russia" This depends on what
one means by best and richest, Siberia
is certainly the best province to which to
send exiles, but not in which to live. 1t
would be strange, indeed, if the Russian
government, truly known as arbitrary
and cruel in its punishment of offenders,
should set apart its best province-in the
usual sense of the cxprcssion-for its
criminal classes. Siberia is certainly rich
in long winters, bleak plains, broken
hearts, and groans. If any one is credu-
lous enough to believe that Siberia is
richer and better for q home than the
southern portions of Russia, let him read
the authentic description in E9iza5eth in
Harriet Beecher Stoves collection OF
famous stories.

The New Postal Notes of IS and Under
The Reduced Money Order System.

DR.. Mcdonald, Superintendent of the
Money Order System of the Post office
Department has given it out that the law
under will go into effect September 3.
The reduction in fees to be charged the
public for domestic money orders went
into effect July 2, and a single domestic
money order may now be issued for any
amount from cent to 800, instead of
$50, as the limit has been hitherto. For
orders not exceeding $40 fee of 8 cents
will be charged. This fee is 2 or 3 cents
less than the actual cost to the govern
ment, but it makes up the loss from the
increased fees charged for transmitting
larger sums of money. As matter of
fact, it costs the Government the same to
transmit an order for ten dollars as it does
one for one hundred dollars, the clerical
work being the same. but by the larger
fee on larger orders the loss on the small
Ter ones is made up, the fee on an order
for one hundred dollars being forty five
cents.
The fees upon international money
orders remain unchanged. The question
of increasing the maximum limit of a
single international money-order to $500
is to be considered by the Post office Of
ticials, though additional legislation on
the part Of Congress will be necessary to
carry out the object,
The money-order system is developing
rapidly, and growing in public esteem, as
a safe means for the transmission of
money. Last year the average loss was
one out of $4,000 orders issued. The
loss, however, does not fall upon the pub
lie, unless the payer or payee is at fault,
but is collected by the Government from
the official who is to blame, and made
good to the loser.

Gratis in their state convention, in St. Paul
Aug. 2, is commendable for its brevity and
explicitncss. Following the platitudes
which usually head Democratic platforms
are four planks and resolution. The
first plank is tariff for revenue only the
second, declaration against sumptuary
laws and prohibition; the third, an ap-
proval of an amendment to the con-
stitution comforting power on the
| President to veto separate items of ap-
preparation bills the fourth, call for an
amendment to the patent law in order
that innocent purchasers of manufactured
articles, using the same in good faith,
shall be protected from harassing suits
for Infringement of patents. The first is
Objectionable. Unrestricted, free trade
is impracticable and is not practiced by
any civilized nation in the wCld. Even
old England, the free traders heaven,
docs not restrict its tariffs to revenue
only. Tariff for revenue only" defeated
Hancock in the last presidential campaign,
and it will defeat any man who asks for
the votes of workmcn who do not care to
sink to the condition of the English
operatives who toll for four or five dollars
week, and never dare hope to own the
rooms they live IN nights. The temper
ance people will not be slow to observe
that they can hope for no prohibitory
legislation from the Democrats and they
may conclude it unwise to run third
ticket and thus aid this very party to get
into power. We believe all good men of
all parties will favor the third and fourth
planks. Appropriation bills have indeed
become an omnibus for corrupt combina-
tions and means of coercing the Presi-
dent of the United States. But this is
not due wholly to Republican admins
tration. The Democrats in no instance
failed to use the appropriation bills for
their own benefit. Had they not united
bill, it would never have passed. From
their past record it would be folly to rely
on Democratic reform in this respect
The resolution favors change of party,
on the general principle that long posses
sion of power leads to corruption. So it
did in Buchanan's and prior administra-
tons. But the Democrats were totally
ob'ivious of any such doctrine then.
They did not dream that their successive
administrations would tend TO an assump-
ton of power inconsistent with Demo-
cratic principles. The truth is that the
chief Democratic principle which is in
fringed by Republican rule is that the
offices are tor the Democrats and that
they want them. 1t will be long before
the people Of this state elect Democratic
Governor for the mere purpose of having
change, so long as the affairs of our state
are SO prudently managed as they have
been these mary years.

THE latest news from the undcrtaker's
profession is the invention of marble
burial casket. As the casket is both
unique In its design and adapted to the
wants Of our age, short description is
not out of place in our columns:
Each one Of these caskcts is hermeti-
cally sealed catacomb in itself. They are
lighter than iron, and the strongest cas-
kets ever made. The interior is of per-
foratcd zinc set on wrought-iron skele-
ton frame. Both the frame and the zinc
are embedded in the walls of the casket.
The cement grows harder with age. One
point and very strong one, in favor of
this casket is that when it is closed it be-
comes perfect whole. The cover is join
ed to the casket with the same cement
with which the casket is made, and hence
it Is Theoretically scaled without joint or
crack. 1t is a complete, solid marble case
Another great advantage of our caskcts
over those of wood or iron is the fact that
burial ceremonies can he held with per.
feet safety over the bodies of persons who
have died of contagious diseases. There
is not the slightest danger of contagion.
A first. class marble casket does not cost
any moro than the best make of iron or
wood. The upholstering and the outside
trimmings are all of the best quality, and,
in fact. precisely the same as those used
in ordinary cOttins.
