Why He Couldn't.

A certain literary German whose manner of
speaking was extremely deliberate, and who
disapproved Of impetuosity Of any sort under
any circumstances. had an amusing experience
in restaurant one day, says the 7 outh's Com
pdntOn.
He was well-known figure among the pa
irons of this particular restaurant, as he sell
dom dined anywhere else and he generally was
served by waiter who had become used to his
way of speaking; but one day a new waiter took
his order and brought his soup.
81 can not eat this SOUP" said the gentleman
slowly, not looking up from his plate, after he
had summoned the waiter the second time The
man seized the offending dish before the GUS
toner could finish the sentence, and vanished
with it. He reappeared in q moment with
another supply of the same soup, which he
placed before the gentleman, and then stood re-
garding him with al anxious face, wondering
what could be the reason that the soup remained
untasted.
Il can not eat this soup" again slowly re-
marked the literary man.
why not, sir? What is the matter?" STAN
mered the unhappy waiter, VINO had been told
he was serving an important person.
II can not eat tn SOUP" said the literary
genius calmly for the t'Ird time, because have
not as yet been provided with spoon" And
looking up to catch the expression OF relief on
the walters face, he INDUCED in the low chuckle
which was the only expression of amusement TO
which he ever gave way.

The School Bill.

The governor was forced to veto the
school bill, one of the most important Of the
bills passed during the entire session, be-
cause it was not so framed as to make clear
the purpose of the legislature. 1t is useless
to inquire who is to blame for such careless
legislation. Il is evident that those who
controlled the legislature are to blame. And
they cannot complain that they were
pressed for time. The legislature was in
session 147 DAYS, and the number of bills
passed that are of much benefit to the peo-
pie is small.
The truth is the legislature wasted too
much time on matters of little consequence.
The members were extremely sensitive to
criticism and they took up good deal of
time in explaining. And then some of
them insisted upon dealing the rail
roads a deadly blow and they were pre-
vented from doing so only by the hardest
kind of work. And great many thought
| it was their duty to have the legislature in
dorse the Ocala demands, and great deal
| of time was taken 20 convince them that
| the legislature had nothing to do with those
| demands
If SO much time had not been wasted on
/
the Ocala demands ard in fighting the rail
roads and in making personal explanations.
tine chances are the SCHOOL bill would have
been scanned more closely aud would not
have been passed in shape that made it
necessary to veto IT..
1t is true the legislature, acting on the
advice of the MORNING NEWS, passed bill
that will relieve future legislatures of q
great deal of unnecessary work, and it ais
passed bill limiting the number of day:
which legislature can remain in session &c
100. and these things must be placed tc
its credit, but il did not pass any bill pre-
venting Legislators from accepting free rail-
road passes. The members held on TO their
free passes. and it is understood that they
also drew mileage. This free pass evil
ought to be made an issue in the next legis
lative campaign. 1t does more to retard
legislation than anything else.

At last there is prospect that New York
will have in the near future a satisfactory
system of rapid transit. The rapid transit
commission has reported a plan which is
quite favorably received. 1t provides for
an east and west side route. The road is to
be- under ground from the Battery to One
Hundred and Twenty first street and from
that point going north it will be
under ground in some places and
under a viaduct in others. Eiec-
tricity is recommended as the motor
power, or some power other than steam,
and it must be capable of speed of at least
forty miles an hour. It begins to look as if
rapid transit for the metropolis was close at
hand.

Farmers Want Their Mail Deliver ed
The farmers think they are not fairly
dealt with in the matter Of the mails They
pay the same postage on a letter or paper
that city folks do, and yet the latter have
their mail delivered at their doors while tn Q
farmers have to go after their letters and
papers-otten going many miles A great
many farmers IN almost every county live
so far away from the postoffice that they
don't get their mail oftener than once a
week, and frequently not 50 often.
What they want is that their mail shall
be delivered to them just as it il delivered in
the cities, and also that mail boxes shall be
put up in localities in every county, in which
they can put letters and papers and avoid
the necessity for going to the postoffice.
There does not seem TO be any good reason
why their want should not be supplied. The
Postmaster General favors free delivery
of mail to the f rmers. He says that it will
stimulate letter writing and the sending of
newspapers and periodicals to such an ex-
tent that the increased revenues will meet
the expense of a free delivery system for
country folks as well as for city folks.
One of the reasons many farmers do not
now take daily paper is that they do not
have time to go after it. Most of them
would gladly take one or more daily papers
if their mail was delivered. And why
should not the people in the country be
treated by the government as generously as
those living in the townsa They are en-
titled to as much consideration. They bear
their fair share of the burdens of the gov
eminent and, being producers, they are,
after all, the backbone of the country.
Tho farmers life is rather lonely one
and q daily mail would relieve it somewhat
| of its isolation. A newspaper every day
would keep the farmers informed of the
| markets and in touch with ithe great busy
world of which they see comparatively little
1t looks as if the mail delivery scheme would
receive more attention from congress than
| the sub>treasury scheme.

The Approaching Elections.

| The result of tho autumn elections is now
the subject of good deal OF speculation.
! The republicans, Of course, pretend that
thew are going to win sweeping victories
and the democrats express themselves as
being certain OF success in all the most i'm
nortant elections. The states in which the
really important elections will occur are
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Iowa and
Massachusetts 8. In all Of them state officers
only are to be elected, but in one of them
Obio-a United States senatorship is in
volved.
The chief interest is felt in the elections
in New York and Ohio. In New York Mr..
Flowers canvas is being conducted with
great energy and enthusiasm. The democ-
racy is united. aud there is every reason to
believe that he will be elected by majority
sufficiently large to insure the states going
democratic next year. The people are very
sore over the loss of the worlds fair by their
state, and they know that Mr.. Fassett, the
republican candidate. was largely iDstru-
mental in causing the state TO lose it They
will not forget at the polls his action in that
matter.
INC Noto Will De CAOSo III OulOs tuOuBu
the prospect is that the democrats will be
victorious. Maj. Mckinley. the republi-
can candidate, found he was losing ground
talking tariff and has therefore pushed the
silver issue TO the front. The democrats,
however. are keeping the iniquitous McKin-
ley tariff in the foreground, and the people
understand that it is the real issue Of the
campaign. Since the recovery of his health
Gov. Campbell has been doing splendid
work. The opposition to him in Hamilton
county has disappeared and he will poll the
full democratic vote of the county.
Pennsylvania is, of course, a republican
state, but there is great dissatisfaction with
the republican officials. So much corrup-
ton has been discovered among them re-
Gently that many republicans would like to
see their party turned out of power for
awhile 1t was just such a feeling that
helped to elect the democratic governor,
Pattison, last year. And a desire for a
reform in the administration of public
affairs may give the state 20 the democrats
this year.
1t looks as il Gov. Russell, the democratic
candidate. would be reelected in Massachu-
sets. He has made an excellent executive
and is an able man. He is much the supe-
rior of his republican opponent, Mr.. Allen,
and is making a much stronger canvass.
Tariff reform has a strong foothold in Mas
sachusetts and that is the issue that Gov.
Russell is pressing.
Even the republicans admit that the re-
suit in Iowa is doubtful. They console
themselves by saying that even if the
state does go democratic this fall
it will cast its electoral vote
next year for the republican candidate.
They may be greatly mistaken, however,
about the result next year. Iowa is an
agricultural state and the farmers are
about tired of paying tribute to the pro-
tected monopolists. The state is pretty
certain to 60 democratic this year. 1t will
be time enough after the result of this year
is known to discuss what it will do next
year,

Ee Spoke TOO Soon.

A certain wellknown German physician of
the south side. says the st. Louis Republic, was
the victim OF his own ''previousness' the other
day. He had successfully treated a wealthy
lady's daughter for diphtheria and the lady was
extremely grateful for it. When the child was
thoroughly well mother and daughter appeared
at the physicians Office. The little girl siylv
handed the physician neat knit purse. while
the lady went on to say: For having saved
my child doctor, want TO present you with
this purse "
But, said the physician, after an embar-

The lady flushed. then said quietly: LET
me have the purse. please "
She took two 500 bills out of it and re
turned It to him wi the remark: There is

adaptability and did not wish to do that which
was not according to the best usage, he be-
thought him that it were well to watch those
about him with view to getting clews. In
the matter of the cherries he was especially
troubled, as he did not in the least know what
was the proper method of disposing of the
stones when once the fruit had passed his lips
