President Mckinley and his official fam
ily are evidently less distressed about the
new rules than are many Of the politicians.
This is evidenced by the fact that his
Postmaster General has announced that
the policy of the administration will be
to permit all postmasters to serve out
their full four years, and that the custom
of setting an official headsman at work
decapitating postmasters by the whole
sale in the opening months of the admin
istration will be abandoned. While the
civil service has undoubtedly been abused
by the recent administration, which filled
every possible niche and then sealed the
doors with the new order, it does not
seem probable that there will be any SINH
lar abuse by excessive zeal in violating the
principles of the civil service system de-
vised and put into effect by the Republi-
can party.
Reports from Utah show that the farm

sugar enterprise in the United States
With the encouragement which the new
tariff bill will give to sugar production,
when it becomes law, beet-sugar fac
