The Hon. Barnes Compton, OF Maryland, who ia
always practical and eficient, presched the House
much.needed sermon on the impossbility Of max
ing people moral by act Of Congress, on the occa-
sion Of the attempt to prohibit betting horseraces
in the District. Probably MT. Compton's sermon
would have fallen upon deaf ears, had not the House
been without a quorum, the majority Of the men,
bers having gone to the races The matter goes
over until next District day, and may be used az
stalking horse to he dscnsse and discussed In the
short time allotted to District business, to the exclu-
sion Of matters Of vital importance. The commit
tee had better drop the subject.

Representative Charles L. Mitchell's decllnation
to be candidate for reelection to Congress Is un-
doubedly final. But 1t is quite open secret that
his refusal TO run this fall Is not due to dislike Of
public life. for II s said that he has been agreed
upon by the most influential Democrats In Conuec-
ticut as the most suitable candidate for Governor.
Ex-ConRressman Landers, however, has an itching
that way, and, as Connecticut Democrats are
frightened by the extent Of the labor movement, 1t
is possible that Landers may land the prize.

Congress should provide comprehensive
plan for the extension Of the streets and
avenues OF the city, to follow, as nearly as
the typographical features of the country
will permit, the present plan Of the city.
Pending such extension persons should be
prohibited from making subdivisions OF
adjacent property except in accordance with
general plan to be prescribed by Congress.
1t is better to begin now by laying out such
aplan than to put 1t oil until the heights bor-
dering on the city are covered with buildings
constructed without regard to the future er-
tension OF streets and avenues.

The country is disgusted with Ohio
machine politics and politicians. What
with the bogus investigation Of the bogus
charges against Senator Payne, the "non-
"partsan" committee's partisan conclusions
as to the Cincinnati elections, the with
drawsl of Democratic Senators from their
duties, and the usurpation of a minority OF
Republican Senators Of the power Of the
Senate, and finally the stealing Of the journal
of that body, the session of the present Leg
islaturs has been disgraoeful from the start.

Speaker Carlisle is quoted as saying that 1t s "pos
sble" for Congress to adjourn by the 25th OF june
That Ia in less than six weeks from to-day. The pre-
vaing opinion, however, Is that Congress will not
get away before August. The House ia behind In
Its business, and, Independent of the grave differ
ences OF opinion between the Senate and House on
the Appropriation bills. there are several questions
of importance yet to be considered. Besides. there
Is an evident desire on the part OF the Senate not
hurry business, and both parties want time to make
records for the approaching Congressional canvass.

There Ia some prospect Of the passage by this Con-
gress OF bill to organize the District militia,
which, while satisfactory to existing organizations
will put the militia on legal footing. Speaking re-
Gently to den. Albert ordway, who is high author
ty on militia Matters was surprised TO learn that
under their present organization there was more
obligation on the part OF our militia TO do military
duty, In case OF necessity, than that which rests
upon every other citizen. II IL proposed nave the
oncers commissioned by The President, and the
men regularly mustered In, and that such persons
AZ belong TO the militia ana are In Government
employ shall when called on for duty, whether In
the mere matter OF civic parade or for exercise aud
drill In encampment, or for actual service, shall
have leave OF absence without loss OF pay There Ia
no place In the world where there Ia better aleria.
for militia service. The results obtained by our
local militia without Government aid have demon
strated this. Their usefulness will be greatly In
creased by the proposed organization, provided al.
ways that the existing organizations are not inter
fsred with nor consolidated with other commands.

We have had continual showers of
refreshing rain in this part of the
section.
Our farmers, though busily engage
ed in making preparations for plant
ing corn, will have to postpone plant
ing until showers are over, though
they do not regret it, as the showers
seem to refresh wheat and oats in a
flattering manner.
There is not an extensive and in
teresting package of news to be sent
from this place as'some might look
for.
Our merchants complain Of dull
trade this week.

There is some sickness in our com.

NASHVILLE MARKET REPORT.

Corrected from the Nashville Union every
Thursday evening.
Today was the quietest one of the
season, the high waters have inter-
rupted commerce and travel, cut off
the mails and played havoc with
business generally for the time being.
However, the interruption is not ex-
pected to be of long duration.
In the grain and flour markets we
have no changes to note. The mills
report quiet but steady market with
no changes in prices; in fact, not
much, if any, change is anticipated
in flour for some time to come, No
further reduction can be made unless
a material decline should occur in
wheat, which is not very probable,
and it is very difficult to establish any
advance this late in the season.
Corn was unchanged today and in
fair demand; sales of twenty-nine
cars were reported.
The provision market was quiet; 6
moderate demand exists for cleal
sides, but shoulders and hams are
dull, especially the latter.
Groceries were very quiet today
with no changes in the market.
Country produce-Eggs were steady
at Sc; poultry was rather dull bu
not materially changed. Butter

mand atfull rates; peanuts were dull

dull season, not much doing outside
of railroad business. Trains are all
crowded with passengers, owing to
the low fare caused by the railroad
war on rates. People can go where
they please now for a few dollars. AT
one time, tickets were sold from Los
Angeles to st. Louis, at 90 cents.
Many have awaited themselves of the
opportunity to visit relatives and
friends East. | fear the low rates are
bringing many tramps and worthless
persons to the coast, without whom
we are better off. Many of our coast
towns are increasingly their police force.
Our overland trains carry from 10 to
16 passenger coaches daily, with two
engines to pull them, loaded with
passengers.
At this time, our enterprising citrus
fruit growers are holding fruit fair
in Chicago. l expect it would be
well for some of your people to go up
to Chicago and see something of our
citrus fruits A great effort is being
made to find an outlet for California
fruits of all kinds. With present low
rates of freight, dried fruits are going
East, while dealers in the East are
shipping green fruits to the coast.
There are green apples in MERGED
from Missouri.
Sugars are coming in from the
South, while California is shipping
the same article in the opposite direc-
ton. The cut in rates has almost
doubled the railroad business. We
have now four heavy freight trains
each way, while the usual number
has been two, with occasionally a
third.
Our crops look moderately we'll.
Rather too much rain for them 50 far,
but the dry season is approaching,
when they will come out. My land
is still too wet to pillow, so l have done
no summer following for myself yet
Rev. S. S. Patterson has in fine
crop. l think about 500 acres, all OF
which is said to look well. Mr.. Perry
has fine prospect for crop. He has
1000 acres in wheat and barley. Mr.
Wooton also has fine prospect fol
a good crop.
Albert Etter and wife made us 6
visit week before last. We were glaC
to see them. Albert has put in a croI
of grain on his own place and proba
bly, rented some adjoining him which
he intends summer following.
At present the prospect for gooC
crop is reasonable good.

But while one can spend and enjoy
an entire day upon the mountain, he
cannot give it an entire letter, when
other things are crowding up for
notice.
Among other pleasant events, we
attended church sociable at the res
idence of DR.. Fleming. There was
music, literature and social enjoy
ment, all going to prove that Nc
Minnville is in the ring and keeping
up.
Monday evening we were enter
tanned at the handsome home of Col.
Ed. Munford. Only those who have
visited the beautiful grounds and en-
joyed the society of the Colonel and
his lovely wife, can fully appreciate
the pleasure I'VE reaped from the
evenings entertainment. While
there the Warren House band kind
ly remembered us with a serenade.
They say the band is a new one,
which fact but made us appreciate
still more the exquisite music. Col.
Munford will be remembered as a
former prominent member of the
GAINESVILLE bar, an uncle to Repre-
sentative Arthur Munford, chairman
of the Executive Committee of the
last General Assembly, and now a
candidate for Circuit Judge. AS we
babe our host and hostess goodnight
we were kindly assured that the
string of the latch always hung or
the outside to us. As we stood a mo-
ment upon the broad terrace of the
lawn facing eastward the moor
swung round the brow of Ben Lo
mond and flooded the tall peak will
silver glory, while below the gray
mists held the mountain in a shroud
like vagueness.
But if we allow the mountains hal
a hold upon our thoughts they will
soon have us in their strange incom
prehensible witchery which will no
be shaken off.

Personal Points and Pithy Paragraphs
From North Warren.

To the Standard:
The rains descend, the branches,
small streams, rivulets, and creeks
are all overlooking. A disagreeable
time for pushing outdoor farm work.
The farmer will have plenty of time
for that yet, provided he has improv-
ed the opportunities of the past that
have so richly been bestowed.
A small acreage of corn has been
planted. Oats are coming up nicely.
The coming wheat crop is looking
well. Grass and clover fields are be-
ginning to look green. Everything
to encourage the wide awake farmer
to greater diligence, and to improve
every opportunity that is offered to
improve his farm, stock and farm i'm
plements of every kind. Shall we
all take advantage of such opportuni-
ties-Or shall we lazily while away
the hours and spend them to noproft
to ourselves nor to the generation
that is yet to come? What response
bilities rest upon the present genera
ton, not only upon the few, but upon
all. Men and women are not put
here to only fill a small vacuum, but
to develop and utilize whatever re.
sources may come within their reach
There is nothing to hinder the people
of Warren county, and for aught !
know, every county in our proud
State from becoming happy and pros
porous. We havea good soil, a healthy
climate, an abundance Of timber anC
water-power, and an intelligent PEG
pie, all that is needed, is to bring
these things into requisitiOn.
Mr.. George Miller had the misfor
tune to lose little child, from sick
