saving in draft by the use CT the
broad tires.
The bulk of the hauling done by
the farmer is ON the farm, in haul
ing feed from the fields and hauling
manure from the barns, etc. The
actual tonnage hauled to market is
insignificant i'll comparison with
that hauled about on the farm, in
asmuch as a large proportion of the
products of the average farm is sent
to market in the form of live stock
or its products.
1t is clearly shown by these cx-
periments that in many instances
where the narrow tire is very in-
furious to the road or field, the
broad tire proves positively bcnc-
fetal when the same load is hauled.
When it is considered, therefore,
that the average draft of the broad
tire is materially less than the par-
row tire, and that the injury done
to the roads and farms by the mar
row tire can be almost wholly cor
rected by the use of the wide tires,
there remains no longer any good
reason for the use of the narrow
tired wagons.
These experiments futher indi.
cate that six inches is the best
width of tire for the farm and road
wagon, and that both axles should
be the same length, so that the
front and rear wheels shall run III
the same track.

The Issue for 1898.

There will be no need of framing
any platforms in the congressional
campaign of 1898. The issue has
already been laid down with such
clearness and dcfniteness that no.
body will be in any doubt as to
what it is, even if the conventions
this year should be silent about it.
1t has been brought out so plain by
the silverite Senate and the Repub-
lican House that the wayfaring
man ON neither side will make any
mistake about it. The base money
Senate passed q resolution attack
ing the governments credit, and
trying to force the payment of 1O0c
debts in 45c dollars. 1t was
challenge to the honest money
House which that body promptly
accepted by voting down the rcso-
luton, and declaring, by an over
whclming majority, that no other
sort of dollars except those worth
always and everywhere 100c should
be allowed to pass current in this
country.
Moreover, the honest money
Houses proclamation is supple
mentcd by the declaration of the
head of the administration. "The
money of the United Statcs,' said
the President. ''is and must for
ever be unqucstioned and unassail-
able. Nothing should ever tempt
us-nothing shall ever tempt Ills
to scale down the the sacred debt
of the nation through legal tech
nicality. Whatever be the language
of the contract, the United States
will discharge all its obligations in
the currency recognized as the best
money throughout the civilized
world at the time of payment. "
Speaker Reed seldom votes, but on
the Teller resolution he demanded
that his name be called, and he
cast vote against it. ''Thc Prcsi-
dents decIaration," exclaimed
Henderson, of Iowa, in the discus
sion of the resolution in the House,
"mcans that the best money in the
world shall be paid to the bond
holder, the plowholdcr, the hod-
holder and all other sorts of work
ers." "On that issuc," he added,
addressing the Democrats, eve

PASSPORTS NOT NEEDED NOW.
They Are Really Required in Russia
and Turkey Only.

There are few countries in which
! travellers now require passports in Or
der TO promote their convenience and
security. In Brazil and Venezuela a
passport must be shown to the officials
before one is allowed to leave the coun-
try for foreign port. This is a veX-
atlouS measure, enforced, apparently,
for the sake of enabling a few officials
to collect small fees.
In Russia passport regulations are
enforced with great stringency. No
/ traveller is allowed to enter the empire
until he has obtained a passport and
convinced the Russian consular Off
GERS at the port from which he sails
that he is neither g. Roman Catholic
priest nor g. Hebrew The question or
| dinarly asked is: What is your relig-
ion?" but it is designed 10 provide
against the entry of either Of these two
| classes.
When the traveller arrives at a Rus
| sian port with passport, which has
! been properly viseed and countersigned
| at a consular office, ii is critically eX-
! amined by police officer, and duly reg
istered.
! At the entrance of the hotel another
police officer takes possession Of the
document, and in the course Of "a hours
returns it with a permit for a limited
residence in the country.
| Wnen the traveller departs Tor an
other city in the empire, he must have
| the passport countersigned by the po-
! lice. This process continues until he
reaches the frontier, which he cannot
| cross unless the passport has been vi
! seed and stamped by the police. Not
infrequently tourists are stopped at the
frontier and subjected to serious in
| conVeniences because they have ne
elected to comply with the police reg
ulations respecting passports.
All this red tape causes annoyanceS
and irritation among tourists, who are
apt to overlook the fact that Russians,
as well as foreigners, are compelled to
observe these police regulations, 1t is
| the business of the police to know
| where everybody lodges. A permit is
required if a native moves from one
quarter of a town to another. Every
body is registered by the police when
he arrives or departs. and foreigners,
when they are in Russia, are dealt with
on equal terms with residents.
The same system prevails in Turkey,
where it is not practicable for for
eigner to travel without passport.
| Elsewhere in Europe passports
are not required. They are
relics of bygone period.
when communications between coun-
tries were slow and infreqenI. Now that
| all nations are drawn together by the
| ties of constant intercourse, a passport
| is out of date, except in countries ike
| Russia and Turkey.

This statement Is very untrue. No one has complained, and no one can complain, MT.

Many fiattering compliment was paid Sir" Joseph's ability, especially by the Baltimore players, who during the championship season back East never let game pass without tilt of some sort with the scorers. This little incident In itself would be sufficient to secure for Joe a life position on Nick Young's staff, as there never was complaint In any shape, manner or form entered against his work by these experts while here. These facts alone demonstrate Joes proficiency to properly take care of his work and the rumor that some one was displeased no doubt originated from some player who
