County Deputy E. G.. Mallett inspected
Enterprise Grange, Richmond, On Wedres-
day, May 2. About 20 members of Pro-
gressive Grange were pres INT. The regular
programme was carried out in an excellent
manner. The worthy master, secretary,
Ceres, and gate keeper elect were installed
by Deputy Mallett, after which the unwrit-
ten work was taken up, the deputy calling
upon different members and asking the
grange for cri icisms, and then instfucting
il any errors appeared.

One of the novel features of a recent
meeting of West Bath Grange was a con-
test in bread receipts by the men, and many
new ideas in bread making were given.
After much testiDg Of samples, the prize
was finally awarded to Lincoln Williams,
overseer Of the grange, who exhibited
handsome basket filed with dainty biscuits
as sample of what could be done with his
receipt. This grange is very enterprising,
and the meetings are always interesting and
we'll attended.

EDITOR RARRETT'S CHANCE.

Up in the Seventh Massacbusett,
District blight has fallen upon Tn,
Democrats. The people have had n,
Representative in Congress since HrNRy
CABOT LODGE was promoted to the Sem
ate. They have had hired man there
put ne was not man of the district.
NOW, whatever there is to be said
about Editor w. L. BARRETT, who is 70
be the Republican nominee, it is certain
that he will make an active and usefpl
Congressman, aud that his activity and
usefulness will be devoted to the inter-
ests of his constituents.
The country is more than ordinar;,v
interested in this district, because il has
given Schoolmaster EVERETT his cbance
In Congress, which chance has NOT
yielded fame to Dr. EVERETT, nor vet
profit to the people of the district.
Editor BARRETT will, therefore. 90 to
Congress with the eye of the conn,rv
upon him, and have as good chance as
bright and energetic young man need
TO covet to make name and fame for
and do great service 70 tho
Bay State in bringing her interests 70

Yesterday THE News printed an in
teresting personal sketch of the Hon
THOMAS Z. PLATT in which Mr.. PLAT1
was referred to as the "boss New York
Republican. Some of The News,
friends took exceptions to the
word boss" but THE News must
insist that it is all right, for Mr.. PLArT
certainly is one of the boss, dyed-in-the-
WOOL aggressive, uncompromising and
way-up Republicans of the Empire State.
HE NEWS under no circumstances
would refer to Mr.. PLATT as the "New
York Republican boss" or even the
New York Boss Republican. But the
boss New York Republican" is OBJ
Viousiy all right and expresses the
hearty esteem which THE News has for
Mr. Piatt and his sterling party loyalty.

ihess are facts that are worthy of
attention right now. as we are entering
upon campaign for the election Of

always thrived upon truth. Whenever

THE C0REAN QUESTION.

Inc war In the East is like the readin
Oh a liable to US of the West. We know
so little about it as it goes on and s
much less about its real motives.
Putting together the shreds and
patches of our knowledge and our infer
ences, there seems to be no Corear
question. Judging by what we Learn
ABOUT Corea, there is nothing worth
hShting for there; it appears as though
the power achieving dominion over the
desert peninsula would win the only
defeat the war can iufiict.
A clear view of Russian diplomacv
reveals real Corean question. however
although a question of small present
interest on this side of the Atlantic.
But 1t needs no knowledge of European
politics to appreciate the great import
ance OF the struggle between Japan and
China.

Efforts for enlightenment. Her methods

THE HOSE FAUCET IN POLITICS

Up In the Massachusetts Ninth Con-

why should the house of a genuine
North End Bostonian faunt in the
faces OF the people hose faucet
BUT II North Ender has sunk TO

water as an exposed hose faucet

TO represent generally faucetless con-
sti1uency in the halls of our National
congress! Even DIR. EVERETT refuses

he realizes that he cannot properly
represent Lynn and EVERETT. Bnt
ne cannot be as remote from LYNN
shoemakers as FITZGERALD must be
from the North Enders, with that baleful
nose faucet brazenly pushing itself into
unwonted and unweIcome prominence. |
The bay-windows, we can imagine.
may be condoned by the Boston North
hhders. These they have always had
ana they suggest nothing incompatible
with tradition. They have their
ises. But the hose faucet sup.
rests an intimate acquaintance with
water, and so liberal use thereof AS
'omports but lily with the known dispo-
itlon OF the Democratic North Ender.
Does The Globe seek to destroy all
nance OF a decent minority vote for the
