POSTAGE ON SEEDS.
Reasons Why the House Committee
Favors a Reduction.


WASHINGTON, March 16.--In the House
to-day the Committee on Post Offices and
Post Roads reported the bill providing that
seeds. plants, bulbs and scions shall be
classed as third rate maiable matter, aud
shall be carried through the mails at the
rate Of &c. per each two onces. Ii was put
on the House calendar.
The report says that the demand for a re
duction of postage on this class of mails
seems TO be based on justice and sound pub
lie policy. The demand IS supported by the
agricultural class. Since the conclusion of
the postal convention with Canada, seed
from that country mas driven American
seed from the market and the discrimination
which makes our people pay four times as
much for the transportation Of seed as for
eigners is unjust The burden falls on the
planter and the reduction will inure 20 the
benefit Of the agricultural class. 1t is be-
lieved TO be emiuently- -proper 10 reduce the
rate OF postage on seed one-hl in view OF
the fact that Congress annually expends
SlO0 600 for b distribution of such seed
A bill intro duced in the Senate to-day by
Mr.. Sawyer fixes the rate Of postage on
seeds, cuttings, bulbs, roots, etc, at 1c. for
each four ounces.

ROME, March 16.-The autograph letter
from the Pope to Emperor Frederick, which
Mgr. Galimberti takes TO Berlin, expresses
the deep sorrow of his holiness at the death
Of monarch who was animated by the
friendiest feelings toward the Cath lie
church. The Pope thanks Emperor Frederick

proves that the son cherishes the sentiments
of his father, sentiments which give assur-
ance that the relations between Prussia and
the Vatican shall become more and more
friendly. The Pope on his part
will do all in his power to secure friendship
that viii be to 81 glory of both the En-
peror and the Papacy. In conclusion his
holiness expresses a wish that the Emperor

4uo 1I1luOIS tOdllrOdd COMMISSION jan
not Interfere.
CHICAGO, March 16.--A dispatch from
Decatur, ILL.,, says: "a number of local
members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers had a conference last evening
with Jason Rogers, railroad and warehouse
commissioner, with reference to the power
of the State board to compel the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy Company to employ
competent engineers and firemen
in running trains. The conference
lasted an hour, the engineers
leaving the Commissioner impressed with
the fact that under the law the State Board
had no power to give the people or shippers
relief. Should the shippers and people along
the line of road enter a formal complaint
against the Burlington company and file it
then the bo I'd would be authorized to make
an investigation, otherwise nothing can
be done, and if an investigation was
had proving bad management and the
employment of incompetent men, there
could be no penalty inflicted. The report
would go to the Governor. who would
probably recommend the enactment of a
law by the next Legislature that would
meet similar case. 1t is Mr.. Rogers
opinion that under the law governing the
Commissioners the board cannot take ac-
ton unless they receive complaint from
parties directly in interest"

The Crime Against ireland.

Will be the subject of Mrs. J. Ellen
Fosters lecture ut Lyric Hall. Tues
day evening, June 26. On her lecture
the Muscatine Democrat comments
~ follows:
''She has travelled extensively of
late i'm the Screen Isle" and has stud
led the character of the inhabitants.
She eloquently depicted the cruelties
and blnnders of the English garrisons
in Ireland. She found Irish gentle
men free, facetious, well-bred and
warln-hearted. The Irish ladies she
declared to be charming. Mrs. Fos-
ter's descriptions of persons and
places were evidently drawn from
life and executed with discrimination
and impartiality. Her eloquent plea
for Irish independence evoked the
storm of enthusiastic applause which
it SO richly lnerited."
Mrs. Foster should have a full
house to listen aud learn of the
wrongs that brute force is capable OF
infiicting upon poor humanity.
