COUNTRY POLICE FORCE.
New Agricultural Want Discovered
by ST. Louis Paper.


All over the country we have no coun-
try police. 1t is only in the cities that
anybody stands ready 10 arrest male
factor. Out in the rural districts every
man has really to be his own policeman
There is, to be sure, a sheriff, but the
sheriff is an officer elected without the
slightest reference to his fitness for po-
lice duty, and he, if he can be reached in
time, pursues criminals, if at all, with as
much or as little zeal ashis convenience
or temperamentwill permit. The result
is crimes committed in the country, un-
less they are murderous, are rarely pun
ished. What we need in all country dis
tricts is what is called country po-
lice" in England and 'gendarmerie" in
France; that is, uniformed and salaried
police, whose business it is to patrol
country roads and pursue criminals. In
England every village has at least one
uniformed constable, and the whole are
under the orders of single county SUI
perintendent. These police are to be
met everywhere, and no burglar or
highway robber can make more than
one stroke without finding them on lais
track. We are persevering in main
tanning in this country the same
belief in the continuance of our
early rural simplicity which in the
cities has ended in making municipal
government such farce. In the mean
time people are learning more and more
to take the law into their own hands
in sheer self-defense.-Colman's Rural

Value OF Grass and Hay.

From recent experiments it appears
that a meadow viii yield about four
times as much feed in bulk if made into

well known that the young, tender
grass of the often cropped pasture IS
more nutritious than the older and
tougher hay, it was found by a careful
test that the advantage il nutrients.

And dreams that il is a flower.

And whispers: Joy I'll bring,

ST. PATRICK'S DAY.
Some Reasons Why the Approaching
 Holiday Is Observed.

We've heard her faults hundred times. the
 new ones and the old,
 In songs and sermons, rants and rhymes en-

 But take them all, the great and small. and this

 In Arizonan hills we'll meet. from one bright

 Great is the land we tread, but yet our hearts
 are with our own
 And ere we sleep restful wink, while fades the
 sacred day,
 We'll toast old Ireland Dear old Ireland!

 To the lovers of Ireland-to those who resent her wrongs, sympathize with her sufferings and laud her achievements, there can be no time more sacred than the l7th of March known as St. Patrick's day.

And why should not Irishmen feel proud to observe fittingly their national holi- day? Is there recorded more signal instance than that which Ireland can furnish of the baffiing of nations hope, or the prolonged illustration of a peoples will? Can it be denied that the Irish people have given to mankind the noblest proof they possess of the

 and the indestructibility of national sentiment? The bones of those mar tyrs who lived amid the scenes Of battle and of war; who sought to restore their native land to her rightful inheritance, who, when the solemn farce of trying them for crime which posterity will account virtue had terminated, were assigned to and suffered an ignomin- ious death the bones of those patriots may now repose in their graves far away: but we have still among us the interiors of their blood, their name and their spirit. They failed, it is true, in what they attempted to accomplish: and it is because of this sacred duty yet to be performed, us well as to keep alive the national sentiment, that the Irish people, in America, at least, unite annually in the celebration of St. Pat rick's day, to show that they still accept the maxim that

point will be raised against the Red.

colored people may participate in the
determining who shall be the Demo.

Of course, the bill could not make
any race Determinations. 1t will,
however, be shown that if this mea.
sure should be adopted, the negro
might in close contest, go into the
primaries and turn the tida in favor
of whom they choose. The little 10.

He said it had been in the place

pearance; that it had not been con.
cealed, and that he was to make

SILvER'S VICTORY
In THE SENATE.
TelIer's Resolution TAX.
en- Up by The Decis-
i've Vote of n to 25.

Washington, Jan. 20.-By % vote
Of Al to 25 the Senate today took
up the Teller resolution declaring
the bonds of the United States
payable~in silver at the option of
the Government.
The resolution which was in
charge of Senator Vest, thus be.
comes the unfinished business of
the Senate and displaces the Cen.
Sus bill.
The resolution provides that "all
bonds of the United States, issued
or orthorized to be issued under
the said acts of Congress herein.
before recited, are payable, prin-
ciple and interest, at the option of
the Government of the United
States, in silver dollars of the coin
age of the United States, contain
4l24 grains each of standard sill
yer; and that to restore to its coin
age such silver coins as legal
tender in payment of said bonds,
principal and interest, is not in
violation of the public faith, nor
III deroSation of the rights of thu,
public creditor"
In speaking for the resolution
Mr.. Vest said the issue had been
forced upon the Senate, and that
if the silver men remained quiet
1t would be equivalent to their ac-
quiescence in the plan of Secretary
Gage, which meant nothing if it
did not mean the establishment
of the single gold standard.
He called attention to the fact
that the Stanley Matthews resolu.
tion, of which the present resolu-
tion is an exact copy, was carried
through the Senate twenty years
ago by vote of two to one, and
by an overwhelming majority in
the House. lie asserted that Presi-
dent Mckinley was then a men,
Der of the House and voted for
the resolution.
Mr.. Vest will call the resolution
up again tomorrow. He expects
an early vote.
The Republicans say they do not
intend to filibustcr against the
resolution, but will content them
selves with making a few speech
cs to put their party straight.
Some of the. Senators express
the belief that great injury has
been done to tho finances by the
talking up of the Teller resolution.
The hearing on the crrency bills
by the House Banking Committee
was brought to close today. The
committee will meet next Wednes-
day to decide which of the four
bills before it is to form the basis
of the currency measure to be fin
ally reported. These are the Mon
etary Commission, Gage, Walker
and Fowler bills.
Silver leaders are disgruntled
because of the refusal of the CON-
mittee to give hearing to Presi.
dent Warner, of the Bimetallic
Union and Chairman Towne, of
the Silver Republican National
Committee, unless they presented
a bill o. their own. They claim
that their attitude is simply one
of opposition to the proposed gold.
standard legislation and the re-
quirerhent that they should produce
o bill was unfair.
