There has been a notable increase
In railroad freight rates between the
west and east lately. This may not
at once be good for commerce, but it
shows that there is growing stiffness
in trade generally. Money that has
been in hiding for several years is be-
ginning to come out to get the benefit
OF temporary rising prices, and it is
not unlikely that an era of war time
railroad rates may rule for a while.
1t has almost stopped the grain move
ment and there is a dearth of wheat in
St. Paul, Duluth. Chicago and other
centers. 1t is, therefore, not improb-
able that wheat will reach the pro-
phesied $3.50 before the month of May
closes.

"a curmudgeon" writes to the World
In praise of the old-fashioned woman
who MIXED COWS and baked bread. and
asks, is the collsge-bred woman OF to-
day any better? Is she an improve
ment?" The writer ought to state def
initely where a woman's information
should stop. Naturally woman wants
to be as wise as possible, and the dan
ger OF that superfiuous information
which units her for household duties
must be very embafrassing.I We dare
say, by the way, that this gentleman
would be willing to do the ditching and
wood-chopping which are now attend
ed to by his hired man.

ance is TO be trusted. and resembles a
ranting populist as much as any Amer
lean type. He is gawky, gaunt and
guilible. Such soul could be taken
only from sepulcher, such an ill-fit-
ting costume only from second-rate
masquerade. He fills the bill poorly
and is not to be compared in this re-
spect TO the fair Columbia. We be-
lieve he would almost buy gold

What the Herald would like to see

sissy men as the New York Sun calls
them. Uncle Sam may be populistic
and ali that, but save rs from what the
Boston Herald would inflict upon us.

The contrast between the deliberate
methods i'm farming and the high-pres-
sure operations in mining is we'll il
Illustrated by the official definition of an
abandoned claim. An abandoned farm
is usually so designated after long dis
use. Decay is written all over it. In
the mining rules for the Canadian Yu-
kon, a claim unworked for the space of
seventy-two hours, without reasonable
cause, and at time when operations
ought to be in progress, is to be deem
ed abandoned, and open to occupation
and entry by any person. Time is
never a waiter, but in the mining re-
gions the refusal TO wait for any man
is particularly emphatic.

provision for investing the postal saw

The last Legislature only appropriated
