SWAPPING SEEDS.
How City and RursI congressman Trade
Per0uisftes.

WASHINGTON, August 11.-C0mmis-
sioner Colmau, the head of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, is going to have a
hard time persuading Congress to put an
end to the distribution of seeds. Your
average Congressman does not take
kindly to the idea, and it is not likely
that his constituents will do so. More
than one-half of the members of
Congress represent agricultural com
munities. The men found the
''seed racket" too valuable a feature Of
Congressional experience to give up with :
out struggle. 1t is a very important
thing for man who wants to come back
| to Congress 10 be able to let his support
ers know that he is thinking of them &C.
| casionally while he is here. Say what
you like about it, it is an agreeable thing
| for the farmer who is brought but little
in contact with greatness, to find that
| his Congressman has remembered him
| during his months of absence in Wash
ington. And it is a pleasant thing for
| the Congressman to be able to call the
| attention of the farmer to this feature
| when he goes home to shake hands and
ask to be reelected to Congress. So the
agricultural members will be sure to
fight it. Then, too, there is another SET
of members who will be opposed to 1t.
There is habit among members of trad
ing in these 'perquisites. When ely
member wants certain class of public
documents he goes to his rural associate
and says: Il want more copies OF thus
or that publication than L have Now
your constituents want seeds and agrl-
cultural reports more than they wan
these other reports that please th'
city people, and my people don't wan
seeds. | will trade you my seeds ant
agricultural reports for your books tha
my people want" So trade is sool
struck up, the agricultural member get
double his quota of seeds and farmers
books, and the city member gets what h
wants, and everybody is happy. The re
suit will be that the country. members
who will fight against it, will be in man
cases ably assisted by the city statesman

Another Letter from The Ex.COmmis
siOner TO Comptroller Durham.

WASHINGTON, August 12-rhe Hon.
Geo. B. Loring, ex-CommissioDer of
a Agriculture, 1as written a letter in re-
ply to Judge Durhams communication
announcing a Gsallowance of portion
of Mr.. Lnriug's accounts as Commission
er. He says the statute never laid down
definitely and precisely his duty with
reference to the details of the work of
the bureau, and that the Commissioner
was obliged to lay out the work
without directions in the statute
book and to use the appropriation
for the purposes specified IN the
act by law according to his own JIdg-
ment, and this course, he says, has been
followed By all his predecessors IN ofhce.
With respect to the services rendered by
the manufacturers iu making sugar eX-
periments, he declares that they were by
no meins small, snd the compensation
they received amounting to SiZ'H Tor each

tions in chemical analysis in manufac

ANOTHER GREAT FIRE
Raging in the Planning MIL District at
Cleveland

CLEVELAND, O., August 13-2 AM
About 1:30 o'clock fire broke out in
the planning mill of the Sturtevant Lum-
ber Company, on the fats. Three steam
ers responded to the alarm, and by eff
fective work succeeded in partially sub
DUNG the flames. The fire broke out
afresh few minutes ago, however, aud
is now burning furiously and spreading
RAPIDLY The dry-house and many lum-
ber piles are in flames, and although
four more steamers have been called, it
is not possible that the fire will soon be
subdued 1t will be impossible to get
any details about the loss and insurance
for some time, as all is confusion about
the scene of the fire, but the loss will be
very great. 1t is supposed that the
planing-mill was struck by lightning, a
thunderstorm now being in progress
here.
2:45 .M.-Twelve steamers are now
pouring water on the flames, which have
since spread to an adjoining lumber
yard. Their efforts, together with q
heavy fall of rain, are rapidly proving
effective, and it is now thought the loss
will be k ept within 100000.

ST. PAUL, MINI, August 12.-Ad-

drowning four men and two children
and a number of horses, besides washing
away several hundred yards in length OF

The man attempted to save two of the
children, but was drowned with them.
The woman caught hold of wagon
box as it was floating away and climbed
into it. !. Ths box was carried down to
White river where it struck against a
bank, and tie wo nan succeeded in catch

herself out. She was dressed in nothing
but her night-clothes The third child
aged about four years, was carried down
by the flood and was found alive, cling

THERE is pending before the Georgia
Legislature, it is said, a bill to impose an
annual tax of So 80 on bachelors. The
Baltimore Sun suggests that, in order that
no injustice may be done, a similar
tax be imposed on all maiden ladies who
have refused three or more bona fide Of
fers of marriage, and adds: at is proper
enough, OF course, TO fine every man who
has reached a certain sge and has not &C
quired the means or disposition to marry.
1t is not right that a paterIamilias with
half dozen daughters, each requiring
annually eight new hats, as many dresses,
half as many ten. button gloves, ETC.,
should bear the undivided burden. Nat
ural equity demands partition of the re-
sponsibilty. But when one of his daugh-
ters "of g certain sge" has repeatedly de-
clined to sCcede TO bachelors ardent
desire to il cur these expenses, she herself
may be said 70 be the blamahle party, and
may fairly be expected either to pay hall
the IT iected suitor's tax bill or a bill oi
her own to an equal amount. In fact
unless the ladies assent the batchelors
are powerless, no matter at what figure
the State tax is put. As most OF the
people who don't marry are rich, it has
been sug Eested that tax ranging iron
$500 to 5000 would create an alternative
which the average man would consider
practical. Some maiden ladies woulC
not perhaps admit to the collector o
taxes thst they have reached "a celtair
age" This may be true, but they coulC
not deny that they had had three or NOR
offers.

substantially control the approaches to

while making aR map of railroad lands

strange discovery that Idaho claimed one
boundary line and Utah another, and that
q strip of land two and half miles wide
extending across the northern part OF
Utah was left which, by the survey, does
not beloag to either territory. The sur
veys used are those filed at Salt Lake and

The Supreme Court of Penn

THE Supreme Court of Pennsylvania,
recognizing the alleged antipathy and In
compatibility of interests of mothers-in-
law and sons-in-law, has decided that the
latter cannot insure the life of the former.
"a man has no insurable interest in the
life of his mother-in-law." With cynical
candor the Pennsylvania bench declares
that ''the mere fact that he married her
daughter gives him no such pecuniary in
terest in the preservation of her life as to
permit him to effect valid insurance
thereon for his benefit" The intimatIon
is that the percentage of mothers-in- law

creased by recCC Cgnizing the validity of this
class OF iDs. urance policies.

TEXAS LANDS.
Half n Billion Acres Leased-LoekIng
Up the E.ibts Bav5


AUSTIN, Tex, August 1O.-The Land
Board pict to day and leased over 800
et'G acres of lands at cents. and sold to
actual settlers about 12,500 acres. The
leases include the lease by Maddox Bros
and Anderson of this city, for themselves
and two other parties, of 350, 600 acres in
Greer county. This last lease was made
subject to future legislation, as the juris-
dictiOn of Greer county is in dispute by
the Federal government. The ComInis-
sioner of the General Laud Office, W. G.
Walsh, offered resolutions to the effect
that as the Galveston Nel0s had publish
ed an editorial on the 9th instant inti-
mating that but for the gag of the Texas
libel law revelations could be made
about the management of Texas land
matters that would astonish the peo-
pie. Each member of the board
will give his written guarantee to
the Netos that no criminal or civil libel
suit will follow a disclosure of anything
the NetcS will be able to prove. The
resolutions, however, are so worded as
to indicate that in case the NeicS fails to
establish any assertion suits will follow.
The resolutions were deferred until to-
morrow. when they will probably be
adopted 1t is said that the Governor
| had set of similar but more plainly
worded IT solutions, but if so they were
read in executive session in the Gov
errors Office, and not offered before the
board. They will cause a sensation, auC
a member of the board intimates to the

now heavy snits were liable to be brough

watched by the people as this one, and I

wrong, 1 believe we should not dare to do
1t, for it seems to me the eyes Of the whole
people are fixed upon us. Every smallest
pub ic set of mine or of the Cabinet is
talked of and discussed. If we make mis-.
takes, as can't be helped, we hear of them
at once, and 1 say for myself that this
kind of close watch is a help to my en-.
deavors to do my duty. 1t shows that the
