Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, it is
understood, will recommend the re-estab-
lishment of the government seed bureau,
upon practically the same basis that Sec
rotary Morton overturned. Farmers and
agricultural publications, in all sections of
the country. declared that the seed bureau
was pretty much fraud; that it was more
of a hindrance than a help TO the farm
ers as it was being conducted. and that
the politicians were the only persons who
got any real benefit out of H. Secretary
Morton agreed with them, and took steps
to reform the seed distribution. He

succeed in cutting off lot of un lecesasrv
Offices, reducing expenses in many ways
ara returning hundreds of thousands of
dollars to the treasury from the appropria-
tons.
Since the republicans have come into
power, they have found that they have
not near enough offices to satisfy the
hungry hordes that are importuning
Washington. They have found. also,
that they have got to provide more offices
to be distributed. and some way to appease
those who fail to get Office, otherwise they
will hear something drop" when it comes
time to vote again. Republican heelers
and haulers seldom do political work "for
their health" They demand something
substantial in return for their patriotism
BY way of relieving the pressure of office
| seekers, the republicans at Washington
have turned to the old seed bureau, and
propose to revive it as it was in former
years. The bureau will furnish probably
several hundred petty places in which par
ty workers may be slowed away as seed
packers, or labellers. or envelope lickers
And then those of the hungry ones who
cannot possibly be given an office may
have their sorrow softened by the gift OF
| a package of seeds. The glft would show
them that they were not forgotten; that
! the grand Old party recognized it's obliga.
ton, and would do something for them ii
it were a possibility. And heelers might
be encouraged to take the grand old party
at its word and look forward to something
nice and soft next time.
That the governments seed distribution
is highly appreciated among republican
workers is evidenced by this story which
comes from the Twelfth Ohio district
whose congressman the other day sent
| home several large bags of seeds for dis
tribution among the faithful One man
asked for beans and was given two pack
ages He said that was not enough, and
reaching over into a sack helped himself
to several more, saying: Il haven't got
enough for a mess yet: II takes more than
a quart of beans to make a mess for my
family"

An Absent-MiHGed woman.

Eeven Sioux City has absent-minded
people within its borders, says the Sioux
City Tribune.
Stories of a man looking through a closet
for a pair of trousers which he has on; of
the inVeterate smoker turning over every
thing in his Office for the pipe which he
holds between his teeth, and OF the citi-
zen who chases back home on cold win
ter's morning after he has nearly reached
his place of business to find his spectacles,
which are properly adjusted on his nose,
are stories which are heard in every town.
The incident of Observation-Disclosures which
is here related is quite out of the ordinary,
and belongs exclusively to Sioux City and
the fair sex. This week a well-known wo-
man living on a hill street boarded a
street car for down town. She searched in
her pocket-book for a nickel, but could
find nothing less than a silver dollar. She
pushed this through the change" open
ing in the door and the motorneer return
ed her a dollar in small coins. She selected
a five cent piece from the handful Of mon
ey and held on to it tenaciously while she
went to a good deal of trouble to drop the
95 cents into the fare slot.
The mistake was discovered by the mo-
torneer, who heard the avalanche of small
money rafting on the glass side in the box
and after calling the attention of the wo-
man to her mistake gave her a receipt for
80 cents, which was eventually returned
to her.

seen such a sunset IN Ohio. The legisla-
ture ana its doings were forgotten, and IN
the delirium of rapture he rhapsodized
three or four columns about the glories
OF the western evening sky. On the fol-

Carrying ont instructions.

There was a young man whose social
education had been somewhat neglected
and it CHANGED that he received an invi-
tation to a church wedding. says the Bos-
ton Budget.
The morning of the ceremony found
him quite excited, and he started for the
church some time before, as he would
have said, "the show was billed to come
off"
Under his arm he carried a small bun
die, and before he had proceeded far he
met a friend
"Hellor' said the friend, land where
are you going all dressed up at this time
in the morning."
Wedding answered the young man
briefly and proudly.
Indeed? Going to do some errands on
the way?"
Certainly not"
But you are not going to a wedding
with bundle under your arm?"
"Of course am. That's my present"

Daneerous LegIsIation.

The results of the recent elections in the
populous cities of Ohio and New Jersey,
and in the great city of Chicago. are evil
dences that the people are awaking to a
realization of the fact that they have been
fooled again" by the republican party.
There has been no change in that party.
1t is the same old aggre cation that was
.repudiated twice in ten years by the peo-
pie under the leadership of Grover Cleve-
land because of its iniquities. 1t is the
same old party Of bosses, or rather old
party that is bossed. It is commanded
by a few men, in the interest Of a few
thousand rich manufacturers and mono
polists. Tho latter classes supply the
bosses with money for campaign funds
and aid them with coercion 10 secure
votes. In return for their contributions
or investments, they receive not only all
they paid in, but large profits thereon in
legal permission to place their own prices
upon commodities, and necessaries of life,
which they coptrol. They demand and
receive a tariff law dictated by them
selves, with schedules so adjusted that
they may squeeze every cent possible out
of the consumers, the masses Of the peo-
pie. The pending Dngley bill is a mon
strous and monumental example of pro-
tectionist greed and boss complaisance.
Last fall great many democrats sup
ported Mr.. Mckinley directly or indirectly
from patriotic motives, supposing that it
was to the best interest of the country
that he should be elected, and that the
promising" political party of which he is
the head should be placed in power. Such
democrats are now regretting their error.
If the election were to be held tomorrow,
there can be little doubt that Mr. Bryan
would be successful. His election last fall
would have been followed by a financial
panic. which would have been far reach
ing in its effects. But the country would
have gradually adjusted itself to the
changed conditions In the light of de-
velopments since the election the people
are beginning to think that they would
prefer to have the Chicago platform
screws put on, and stand the consequences
for a few months, with the assurance of
survival and revival rather than be sad
died with the iniquities crowded into the
Dingley tariff bill That bill, as right
minded. patriotic men foresee and de-
clare, is pregnant of future hardships and
disasters. It is tariff to make the rich
richer and the poor poorer. 1t is indie
feasible in equity and justice. 1t is
fraught with grave danger TO the coun-
try. It may engender a political upheayal
involving details infinitely more radical
than were those which were so much
dreaded last year.

well to put itself on record against the

goods to such employees, and upon those
who depend upon the merchants for their
