 MR EDITOR It is now more than proble that theT agricultural interests of the country are at last to receive that recognition from Congress which the magnitude and importance of the industry demands. At each session sion of congress during recent years, bills have been introduced with the view of creating an Agricultural Bu- reau as an executive department, the chisf officer of which should be a meinber Of the Presidents Cabinet. The committee on Agriculture of the House, who have had a bill under consideration since the commence ment of the present session, have agreed to accept an amendment pro- posed by the labor committee, and have ordered the bill to be favorably reported. As agreed upon, the bill provides for the establishment of a department of agriculture and labor under the supervision of g secretary and assistant secretary, whose salaries shall be the same as those now paid to other officers of corresponding rank. The Secretary of Agriculture and la bof is empowered to inquire into the causes of discontent which may exist between employers and employees within the United States, and he is authorized to invite and hear sworn statements from both parties.
 General Black, the Commissioner of Pensions, has established a new di- vision in his office, which will be known as the law division, which will determine all questions relating to att torney's fees, the estanding of attorneys practicing before the office, appeals from the decision of the Commissioner, and all questions relating to the law and practice of the office. Heretofore the consideration of these questions has occupied much of the time of the various officials of the department, and the new division has been estab- lished with the view 'systamatizing and expediting the current work of 4he office.

To Those in Arrears.

Will every subscriber be so kind as to ex-
mine the date on his paper affixed to his
anne? If he is not credited to date, or to
be close of the year, he is in arrears. There
|ppear no substantial reasons why all over
|ue subscriptions should not be paid within
be next thirty days, since the amounts
living from the greater number of sub
|cribers are severally small. AS we much
|esire to put our subscription list upon a
|ounder business basis, we appeal to every
|ubscriber to remit at once what may be
! ue from him, and to resolve that hereafter
be will pay in advance or within a reason
bile time. We are glad to say that a ma
ority of subscribers pay promptly, or at
east seasonably and this should be the
practice of all. Then there would be little
occasion for duns and other unpleasant
of the credit system.
