RURAL HAIL DELIVERY.

The postal department has reached the conclusion that the system of rural free delivery of mail matter has passed
 beyond the experimental stage and
 that it's success is now assured The system has been making steady pro- grcss for some time. The department now proposes to district the whole country, arranging itin seven divisions,
 with a uperintendent for each divis- ion for the purpose of facilitating the work. To do thIs an additional ap- propration will be asked for, but be fore this expense is provided for con- gress will no doubt amend the postal laws Tn a manner to cut off the great sources of unprofitable expense for privileges which are enjoyed by a few and which are paid for by the peo- pie. Arkansas Gazette.
 The more the people combine and work for their comfort and convenience the nearer we will approach Il perfect form of gov ernment.
 That tho people of the rural districts and small villages arc as much entitled to free delivery of mail as those of cities, no one can in justice deny. The time spent by farmers in going for their mail is vast in the aggregate and if used in producing wealth would make the country all the richer and more than off set tho expense incurred hy the government delivering their mail to them.
 Again, the system would help tho cause of education and make better citizens of the people. No one will question tho statement that with free delivery in the coun- try moro papers will be taken and read, moro letters written, and thereby tho people would b e brought into closer touch and be come better informed in public matters.
 There are numerous farmers, who, with daily delivery of mail, would take the daily papers and keep posted on current events, who now deprive themselves of this privilege and as education, like ignorance or disease, is contagious, a free delivery would in due time cause nearly every farm house to be tho recipient of a daily pa per.

GROW CASTOR BEANS.

Little Rock has the only castor oil factory in the south, and that is only one of half dozen in the whole United States. Why don't the farmers raise the beans and market them there - Beebee Current Topics.
 Anything for a change from -four cent" cotton and mortgaged homes, and if castor beans are in demand by all means, let us raise them. .-Magnolia Journal.
 From what we have been able to learn this section of county is pcculiarliarly adapted to t h e growth of the castor bean. They are now quoted at a $1 a bushel Tn tho Kansas City markets and unquestionably more value can be produced from an acre than of cotton and at much less cost or labor. The farmer who plants castor beans will make more mon- ey than he who continues to plant cotton.

What the p. & q. Deal Means.

From the Kansas City Star
 Philadelphia, Dec. 15. = The pub lished statement that the Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf railroad was to bs re- organized was pronounced false by William Taylor of this city, secretary of the company. Considerable of the stock and bonds is owned by Philadel- phians, Mir. Taylor says there will be a readjustment of the capitalization of the company, but not reorganiza- tion. He says the report of the reor- ganization has probably grown out of the knowledge of the preparation of a plan by which it is expected that in the near future the Kansas City, Pitts burg & Gulf railroad, the Kansas City X Northern Connecting railroad and the Omaha, Kansas City & Eastern railroad may be consolidated in a sys- tenn which will enter St. Louis and Chicago and bring them in direct com munication with the lines running east from these points. This combination, Secretary Taylor says, will be entirely distinct from the Chicago & Alton deal of which there has been so much said lately.

A labor authority says that a round

A labor authority says that a round million of men are organized into unions in the United States. Of these 60 per cent are in the American Fedora ton of Labor, more than 10 per cent in the railway brotherhoods, about 10 per cent in the building trades organi- zations and the remaining 20 per cent comprises bodies not federated and the Knights of Labor. It is estimated by the same authority that the numb Der it is possible to include in the amy of organized labor is 21S millions The relation of the American Federation of Labor, to all is thus seen to be as 6 to 25, and the whole force of all organi- cations to all labor as 10 to 25.-Kan- sas City Star

A piTTsBURd & GULF HOSPITAL

Application was made to the circuit court yes erday for decree of incor- poration of the Kansas City, pittsburg & Cult Railroad Company's Employees hospital. The trustees are E. L. Mar tin, Robert Gillham. F. Mertshelmer and J. |. Orr, of Kansas City, and ". |. Smith, of Pittsburg, Kan, and ". r. Buel, of Texarkana, Tex.
 Mir. Gillham said that the plans for the hospital had not been fully formed as yet He was not even certain, he said whether it would be located in Kansas City, nor did he know what the probable cost would be.
 The foregoing from tho Kansas City Journal will be good news for the railroad employees along the line and also opens up an in- tercsting question regarding the location of the proposed hospital. While Mena may not be consid- cred in this light, yet there are many reasons why it should be To- cated here. This is the midway division point and recognized as the healthiest location on the line and is therefore easy of access and I good place for sick men to come to regain their health.
 Believing this to be tho best place for the location of the hos lital We suggest tEat our people take such steps as may be deemed best to try and secure it.
