The Boston Post is alarmed lest the Re-
publicans are going to gerrymander the con.
gressional districts of Massachusetts, and
proceeds to preach sermon on the wicked

the Republicans to gerrymander Massachu-

Ohio and alter the general plan Of choosing
Presidential electors In Michigan And

The Republicans have resumed control of
the government of Rhode Island. Mr.. Da-

Mr.. Ladd steps in. Rhode Island has be-
come very close State politically, and the
future standing of the two parties there will
depend very much on their behavior. The
fact that the Republicans are now in contro

Further than the fact that the Chilian re-
bellion is still on and that there is no imme-
diate prospect Of settlement little is known
about the condition of affairs there. The
government and the insurgents send out
stories so absolutely contradictory as to
make 1t certain that one or the other and
perhaps both are lying. A few days ago
Balmaceda was reported to have gained
several important SUGGESTIONS. hut this the
insurgents promptly denied. When one side
or the other is thoroughly whipped we shall
doubtless hear about 1t, but of the progress
or the campaign until the catastrophe comes
we are likely to know little that is trust

made In so short time. Capital had 10

Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON, October 16-[Special. J.
The president and his official advisers
formed what might be aptly called a hap
py family at the last cabinet meeting, and
there was ample cause for happiness on
the part OF the men who control and
shape the policy Of the present admins
tration which promises to occupy proud
position in the history Of our country, par
ticularly that portion treating OF the en-
largement and extension OF American
commerce with foreign countries. Al
though the official announcement connot
vet be made, 1t Is known that a reciprocity
agreement has been made with Germany
that will either allow American wheat to
enter that country free of duty or admit
all American grain at merely nominal
duty. Isn't that good newsg Particular
| ly when il is estimated that Germany, on
account of her short crop will want at
least 1OO,OOO,0OO bushels Of our surplus
wheat this year. There was also another
cause for rejoicing at the cabinet meeting.
Minister Porter, who represents the Unit
ed States at Rome, Italy, has succeeded In
getting the Italian government to follow
the lead Of Germany and Denmark and
agree to remove all restrictions upon the
importation of American pork. No won
| der Secretary Rusk's kindly face beams
these days. He accepted the agricultural
portfolio because he believed he could be
of service to the farmers of the country
and he is justly proud TO be member oil
an administration which has already done
more for American farmers than any SIN
gle administration in the history OF the
country. Reciprocity has extended and
will continue to extend our commerce
while the meat inspection law, the passage
of which was largely due to the personal
: efforts Of Secretary Rusk, is nobly doing
its part toward enriching the American
, farmer.

This is the first week Of the October
term of the supreme court, but all the big

Gray and Bradley.
Il is understood that the vacancy in the
court of claims will be filed before the
court meets for the fall term, which II
will do on the last Monday in this month
and there is an impression among those
usually well informed that ex-RepreseDts-

appointment.
