Complaint from England of Violation of the
International Postal Agreement
Washington Special.
The Postofice Department has just had pc

Central Railroad Company, in October, sent to
England large number of postal cards, the ad

ate the provisions of the international postal
agreement, which prescribes that nothing
shall be affixed or attached 10 the postal card
except postage stamp. The Postoffice Depart

20 reconsider their decision. and will return the
Yards with the request that they be forwarded
as addressed. The Department will suggest that
while these addresses may be a violation of the

evidently supposed he had been recognized, and
thought ne might induce her to say nothing, but
he had the inaffable effrontery ask her for his

gested for his leaving Washington.

GladstOne's Defeat.

The defeat of Gladstone means the de-
feat of Home Rule for Ireland. For
many years the Irish question has been
uppermost in English politics, and it
has not yet reached settlement. When
it will is matter of conjecture. The
people of Ireland are constantly under
an oppression which is beyond their
power to remove, and when the great
hearted Gladstone espoused their cause,
he met an overpowering opposition from
the aristocracy of England.
1t is not surprising that the Irish .peo-
pie become violent in their lawlessness,
with the collar of landlordism CALLING
their necks, and the situation becoming
ever more alarming. The Irishman ID
fastened to the sterile bogs with NO
possibility of advancing his condition
and NO means ofsupport except by slav.

As will be seen from our Greenfield
correspondence the Democratic Conven-
ton to fix the date Of the Congressional
Convention for the 18th District held Q
star-chamber session that was exceeding
ly starry. The report indicates that the
people OF Greenfield doubt the sincerity
of the Democracy's friendship to prohi-
bition. The Gazette says the party must
not aid saloonists in fighting the 500
tax law. It evidently believes the best
policy is to patronise the saloonists and
help them pay the tax. This theory ID
somewhat akin to that Of bringing about
prohibition BY drinking up I'll the

In giving space to the article by "Tax-
Payer" in this issue, we recognize the
right OF private citizens to speak their
minds concerning public matters. We
do not agree with all he says, but the
expenditures by the Board OF Directors
for the Infirmary have created much
general comment and dissatisfaction
often voiced in the style of Taxpayer,
The county's poor.house should be
managed with economy but economy
should not supersede humanity. The
unfortunates are deserving of proper
treatment, and the fact that hard times
exist does not lessen the responsibility
OF the public. The crazy house is in a
lamentable condition, and those who
are acquainted with the situation will
not agree with Taxpayer in saying that
the present structure could be repaired
80 as to be satisfactory. A new building
is needed and needed very much.
There are many expenditures about the
institution of which we do not approve,
but the Commissioners could not be
csnsured for making more repairs about
the Innrmary than are contemplated.
The cost of the new crazy house does
not come from the overdrawn Poor
Fund, but from the Building Fund,
which now contains balance. The
state of affairs which the public regrets
arises from causes that Taxpayer does
not mention. The Examining Commit
tee recommends that improvements be
made at the Infirmary so as to accom-
modate greater number OF inmates and
lessen expenses. Much of the objection.
able expense is incurred through the
employment of Township Poor Doctors
and arrangements made with Trustees
for the sustaining of Township poor.
The time when the Board of Commits.
sioners and Infrmary Directors were
not grumbled at for alleged extravaganza
was never known.

Don't fail to keep in mind that in farming as in other business, the adage; "rhe more haste the less" applies. It often happens, especially when the spring Is a lit tie late, and spring work is back ward that some farmers are tempt ed to slight their work. They do not plan and do not prepare their ground 80 well for planting as they would if they had more time. Are not so careful in planting, and iu other ways slight their work, in order to gain q little time and get over ground faster. It does not pay to fall into these slovenly ways. The principal, what is worth doing at all is worth doing well, does not lose any of it's force when taken in connection with any sort of farm work. In fact, more than great many other kinds of buri ness, thoroughness i'll preparation of the soil, care in the planting and tillage show an immediate and appreciable benefit. If you find that for any reason, the alternative is presented to you of planting less than you intended, or of sighting your work, do not hesitate to SC lect the former. You will find il pays better.-Journal of Agricult- NTr.
