The House of Representatives at
Washington has passed bill which
provides for the free delivery of
mail in rural districts upon a petit
tion OF twenty citizens. The letter
carriers are not to be paid by the
general government, but by the
people to whom the letters are de-
livered. One cent is to be the
charges made for every piece of
mail delivered. We do not expect
to see men pulling for job of this
kind, and the bill had as well been
pigeon-holed when first introduced.
1t was doubtless passed through
by some smart fellow who wished to
pull the wool over the eyes of his
rural constituency.

THE ST. LOUIS DISASTER.

Accustomed as we have been dur
ing the past twelve months TO tales of
destruction and disaster, of suffering
death and priv alton, the news of the
terrible disaster to one Of our own
prosperous cities is the most appall-
ing that the wires have brought for a
long period. The suddenness as well
as the fury with which the tornado did
its awful work lends to the event a
tragic aspect which is not equalled
even by the catastrophes in Armenia,
Cuba and elsewhere.
Few earthquakes, which are gener-
ally looked upon as the most awful
natural visitations, have in modern
times been as destructive as this great
atmospheric disturbance. It's fury has
doubtless been equalled Or surpassed
by others which have recently oc-
Cured in various parts of the coun-
try, but it was fated that this one
should visit a closely populated city,
instead of sparsely settled rural dis
tricts or small towns, and the havoc
it wrought was therefore the greater.
Unfortunately the science of me-
teorology is not yet sufficiently ad-
vanced to give warning sufficiently
accurate in regard to time, locality and
intensity to enable people to take due
precautions against such visitations'
The most that meteorologists can do
as yet is to announce the general re-
gions and the general time in which
tornadoes are apt to occur. They can
not state the hour nor the exact paths
of particular tornadoes. The ability
to do this will come, no doubt, in the
future, when longer experience and
more complete observations shall
give more extensive data upon which
to base predictions.
The sympathy of the country goes
out to the st. Louis sufferers, and the
country, as ever, stands ready to i'm
part practical shape to this SYM
pathy when the call for help arises.

The decision of the United States
Supreme Court in the Horsa affair,
while adverse to that particular case,
does not deal much of blow at the
export from this country of arms and
other war supplies for the Cubans- In
fact, it amounts simply to forbidding
a certain method of getting away from
port, a method which has not been
followed since the Horsa was siezed.
In future, similar expeditions may be
fitted out and may sail from United
States ports without interference,
provided they clear for another Amer
lean port or South or Central Amer
lean port, and do not carry regularly
organized military bodies. There is
nothing in the Supreme Court deci-
sion to discourage such tactics as the
Bermuda, for instance, has been pur-
suing so successfully of late.

The Shakers of New Lebanon, N.

lease building in New York City in
which to sell their products, and of
course the owner OF the property look
ed into their solvency. He found that
they are worth not far from $15, ,OO0,-
900, invested IN choice city real estate
mortgages and first class railway
securities. Industrially the Shakers
are highly successful, but as their sys-
tenn would doom the human race to
extinction, they are not likely to oc-

Away out in Oregon potatoes are
just as cheap and plentiful as they are
here, and the Oregon Agricultatrist CIV
es its readers the same advice that we
give ours. 1t says: "Many of the
farmers in the United States will
doubtless be of the opinion that be-
cause there was an overabundance of
potatoes last season and no money in
the crop to pay for the labor Of rails
ing them, that the same conditions
will prevail this year. Oregon farm
ers should, however, look at this mat
ter in another light, and on the prin-
ciple that glutted market is unusu-
ally followed by bare one, be ready
to supply the demand at prices which,
in all probability, will insure a legi-
innate profit if not more to the
grower"

An effort is being made to repeal
the tariff law which gives alcohol free
of tax to the users of it in the arts and
medicine. The revenue to be gained
thereby is little in comparison with
the loss that will.be inflicted upon the

plan gives the best quality at mini
