ing 100 by $50 feet being devoted al.
most exclusively to this purpose.
In this spacious structure are
shown the indispensable cultivator
combining every facility for pro-
ducing the best results with the
least possible energy plows that
turn up the soil according to the
latest approved scientific methods
and evoke words of praise from the
plowman while he homeward plods
his weary way rollers that give to
the ground the finished touches pre-.
paratory to seeding; mechanical
planters that bury the seed rapidly
and with regularity without vast
ing a grain ; machinery for garner
ing and slowing the crops that have
come as a reward for toll and en-
terprise, and great wagons for
carrying the product of the soil to
market
Such in brief is the character of
the exhibit in the Exposition imple.
ment building, so far as it appeals
TO farmers direct. A display OF
road making machines helps to solve
the good roads problem, in which
all humanity is interested.
Vehicles, from the light, airy
rubber tired pleasure carriage tc
the ponderous farm, ice and gener-
nj utility wagon, are exhibited, like
wise harness for the horses that
draw them. The exhibition is the
most complete of it's kind that has
been presented since the Columbian
Exposition in Chicago, and equally
important from the fact that il
shows every Advancement made
since 1898 in the production of farm
machinery. Up.to-date farmers
will take advantage of this practi
cal, instructive and profitable OBJ.
ject lesson in modern mechanism
for agriculturists, and for every
farmer of whatever degree of en-.

The time is ripe for visit to the
Exposition and the railroads enter

to persons desirous of visiting the
great show.

Gen. Shafter was to-day retired as
a Brigadier General of the regular
army, but his management of af-
fairs at San Francisco, where he has
charge of the shipping of all troops
to the Philippines, has been so eff
cient that he will be retained in the
service as a Major General of Nolun-
teers, as long as his services are re-
quired. General Shafter was retired
under the aged limit law, which gave
the war department no discretion,
to-day being his siXty-fourth birth
day.

Senator Hayward, of Nebraska,
who is in Washington, and who is
thoroughly posted on the political
situation in the state, says he is sat
isfied that the Republicans will win,
although Mr.. Bryan is making great
er efforts to prevent it than he did to
carry the state for himself i'm '96.
Speaking of the National outlook,
Senator Hayward said; 81 regard the
denomination of Mr.. Bryan as absO-
lutely certain, and his defeat is in
evitable. He can't get the prosper
Gus citizens of the West excited over
as dead an issue as free silver is. Nor
can he gain any capital by his stand
upon the Philippine question, though
it is rather difficult to learn just
where he does stand on that subject
AT all events, he won't be able to
get 1.-THE electoral votes of his own
state next year, and outside of the
South, the voters everywhere will
record themselves overwhelmingly
for his Republican opponent.

People who watch the efforts of
the railroad companies to handle
their freight traffic will agree with
Mr.. Bryan's recent reluctant state
ment that "there seems to be some
prosperity" The demands from
all over the country for cars to
move products continues to tax
every resource of the car shops.
The railroads centerlng in the great
manufacturing cities of the East
are making use of everything in the
shape of a freight-carrier that can
be made to run; yet complaints of
shortage and delays are constant,
while in the West the crops are tax
ing the roads to their utmost.

The settlement for the time of the
Alaska boundary dispute, by Cana
ada's acceptance of the temporary
boundary line sometime ago agreed
upon by Secretary Hay and Great
Britians diplomatic representative
in Washington. is a great diplomatic
triumph for this administration.
The temporary boundary line
gives Canada neither port, nor an
outlet on the Lynn canal, both OF
which Sir Wilfrid Laurier recently
said it must have or there would be
war.

The suggestion that Congressman
Lentz be sent to the Philippines to
get information in support of the
Little American party is probably
made in the hope of getting Mr..
Lentz out of Ohio during the re-
mainder of the campaign, as his
lurid speeches in support of every
thing anarchistic and against every
thing looking to good order and
prosperity are benefting, far more
than they are injurIng, the Repub-
lican cause. Mr.. Lentz, however,
is enough Of a lawyer to know that
a mission intended for the aid and
comfort of the enemies of the Gov
ernment would be liable to lead to
serious results, and 1T is believed
that he will not seriously consider it.

The managers Of the Philadelphia
Export Exposition, while not com
planning about the prosperity and
business activity of the country,
make no hesitation in saying that
they should have had far better
display but for the fact that
manufacturers were too busy to pre-
pare exhibits. 1.-The manufactur-
ers said to me, remarked President
Wilson, in discussing the subject.
"that they had from six months to
two years orders ahead, and that
they were therefore unable to spare
the time to prepare special exhibits
or to prepare such additional orders
as the exhibits might bring them. -

A case Of extraordinary interest 10
the thousands OF persons who mold life
Insurance policies is now on It's way
through the courts of New York. 1t
relates To the share of the surplus that
policy holders are entitled TO. IL seems
IL is the custom OF the insurance COM
panies to. divide such proportion OF the
surplus az they may choose to set apart
from time 10 time. just as dividends are
paid not from The full earnings
from year 10 year, bur from such a part
Of the earnings as IN the discretion Of
the officials IL may seem wise TO pay
out. a policy holder who has just come
into his endowment insurance brings
suit fer an equitable share OF the fun
surplus in the possession OF the company,
instead OF the lesser share that the
company apportions for distribution.
The lowest court uphols the company
on the ground that the policy issued
provides that only such a proportion OF
the surplus shall be divided as the di-
rectors shall, from time 10 time. set
apart for that purpose. The next high
er court reverses this decision, main
tanning that. despite the contract pre-
sumed I'm the terms of the policy. the
charter of the insurance company ev'-
IDENTIFY contemplates a division of the
entire surplus without discretion on the
part OF the officials. The very idea Of
a mutual company contemplates moth
ing short of this so the court holds,
and the surplus cannot be managed af-
ter the fashion of dividend fund.
Probably the case will now be appealed
by the defendant company.
