Postmaster General Wnnamaker has estab-
lished an inviolable rule that no postoffice

bar has a decided opinion Oh the temperance
question. He says: "There are but two CON
sistent positions on this subject; free trade
i'm alcohol If it Is a food, no trade In alcohol
Except as a poison) il it is poison. Science
has rendered her verdict on the facts; it is a
poison and the most terrible afhiction OF the
human race"
The women of South Carolina have been
holding a temperance convention at Charles
ton, and have asked the State to adopt scien-
tiic temperance instruction in public schools,
and the appointment of police matrOnS in all
the cities and towns of the state. They have
decided that they will wait no longer for the
Legislature to act voluntarily, and have be
sieged the Governor with petitions and visits.

A wELI.-EDUcATED BOY.

traffic, the children and young people in the

SENATOR 'CULLoM's COMMITTEE.

Senator Cullom, who is in Chicago,
was asked by a reporter what the sena-
torial committee on railway relations
with Canada is doing.
"Traking a rest just now" he replied.
"The committee has adjoured, to meet
again on the 9th of June in New York.
| When we meet again l suppose we will
be in session the greater part Of the sum-
mer."
What are the plans of the commit
tee?"
"Of course, we can't do anything but
collect testimony to be afterward used
in celebrating Recommendations to con-
gress, but the more of it we get and the
more complete it is the better will be the
results. After another short session in
New York the committee will meet in
Boston, then in Montreal, and probably
later we will come west"
When he was asked why Senator
Hoar's committee on trade relations
with Canada was examining railway
men at It's recent session in st. Paul,
Senator Cullom's face assumed a puz-
zled expression.
"Well, l don't quite underrtand that
myself" he said. "What they have to
do with railway matters 1 don't know.
The resolution authorizing the forma-
ton of Senator Hoar's committee was
rather vague in this particular, and
when it was up Mr.. Hoar came to me
with the assurance that if I would not
oppose it his committee would in no
way interfere with the work of mine.
l didn't oppose it. When he arrived in
Chicago he made a statement to the
press again affirming that his committee
would leave all railway matters to our
committee, and he cut this interview
out and sent it to me, intending to cor
rect, no doubt, statement that had
gone out from Washington conflicting
with our work | am surprised now to
see him taking up railway matters If
his committee really is considering our
railway relations with Canada,
and proposes to make report
on the same, there may be
conflict in the recommendation. 1t
would be very embarrassing, to say the
least, and the idea of two separate CON-
mittees investigating the same question
is not suggestive of any harmony in the
ultimate recommendations"
Senator Cullum says he has already
made UP his mind that ultimately Can
ada and the United States will have to
inaugurate an arrangement correspond
ing to the interstate law.
$50 far in the investigation, he said,
"the Canadian officials all affirm that
the present law hurts them, and those in
this country are positive that Canada
profits most by the measure. The argu-
ment of our managers was that where
the Canadian roads lost on the long
hauls extending into this country, they
recouped on local rates in Canada, while
with roads wholly under the operation
of the interstate law this was impossible.

TRANSPORTATION of mails to japan; So, 701

them to ali Central and South America

CHANGES IN CULTIVATED AREA
lodges Agricultural Report for May,

Dodge's Agricultural Report for May,
The bredth of cultivated area increases
very largely each season; in the newer
states and territories settlements is rapid
and each year new areas, almost equal
to states in their aggregate, are given
over to the pillow, while in the older
sections, east of the Mississippi river,
new farms are carved out of hitherto
undeveloped lands. The rapidity with
which this extension has gone On during
recent years is perhaps scarcely realized.
In 1879 the four principal arabic crops,
corn, wheat, oats and cotton, occupied
12S, 100000 acres; in 1888 this
area had increased to -159, 600, 900,
an enlargement in nine years of 81, 000,
600 acres This increased breadth in
four crops alone more than equals the
entire area of the three northern New
England states, while the increase in
three of the crops, corn, oats and cotton,
exceeds the total area of the great agri-
cultural state of Ohio. If the increase is
all titled and grass land has been in the
same proportion as that in these four
crops, we have now total area of I'M
proved lands in farms of $4,000, 900
acres, against 2s5,000,000 IN 1879, or an
increase almost equal to the total sur
face area of New England, New York
and New Jersey, and equaling The entire
area of improved land in 1880 in eleven
cotton states, with the addition Of Della
ware and Maryland.
