FREE RURAL DELIVERY.
Contracts 10 be Let to lake Effect Next July.

William II. Penn, assistant superin-
tendent of tie Railway Mail Service,
from the Second Assistant Postmaster
Generals Office, was in Bloomsburg
last Thursday in the interest of the
quadrennial letting of star mail routes,
which is now being advertised in all
the Eastern and New England States.
Two important changes have been
made in this system, which will greatly
improve the service and give the
country people that which closely
approaches free rural delivery.
Contractors are required to live on
or convenient to the route, and will
be held Immediately responsible for
the service. This feature cuts out the
nonresident and professional bidder,
and gives all the money to the local
people. Any person living convenient
to the route, except within the cor
porate limits of city, or within eighty
rods of post Office, can place i box
on the immediate route of the carrier
and have his mail delivered free OF
expense. This will enable the farmer,
who is inconvenient to a Postofflce,
to get his daily paper and other mail
quickly and regularly.
Contracts will be let to the lowest
responsible bidder, and any person
who wishes to bid can receive all
necessary information from any Post
master. Bids must be filed in the
Second Assistant Postmaster Gen
erals Office by December 4. Service
takes effect July I, 1901.

Ernest Seton Thompson.

The engagement of Ernest Seton
Thompson was made in the best of
faith by those who were instrumental
in bringing him here. His entertain
ing books were known to many per
sons, and his lectures have been we'll
received in the cities, and the papers
have given him very complimentary
notices. 1t was believed that his lee
ture would be rare treat to this
community. But it wasn't. The
large majority of the audience was
disappointed. His lecture consisted
mostly of discourse on jack-rabbits
tails, tame bears feasting on a garbage
pile in Yellowstone Park, descrlp-
ton of the death of old "Lobo," the
wolf, which was the best thing he had,
and moose hunt. The lecture he
gave here was not the one that was
expected, and was certainly not one
of his best. 1t is not often that an
audience is disappointed in the Nor
NAL Auditorium, as great care is eX-
ercised in the selection OF entertain
ers. and it was not the fault of the
managers in this instance, but of the
lecturer, who did not deliver the lee
ture that was requested.

LOOKING AHEAD.
A Prominent Citizen Tells How the Interests
OF Bloomsbury Could ne
Advanced

How apt we are to run in old ways,
adhere to old forms. | hesitate to
launch out into new methods and
practices, or be indifferent to the de-
mand for progressveness.
A church needs to change their
methods with the passing years, es
pecially as to the management of the
temporalities, because old ways and
methods will not fit into the neces-
sites and that church loses ground.
Our town needs to be progressive.
Because a pain would do ten years
ago may be the very reason why it
ought to be changed. The people
are willing to pay taxes and still larger
taxes, even special ones if they see
that the authorities are seeking to
eXpend tine money honestly and for
the public good, in better streets,
better schools, better government,
with wiser ordinances we'll executed.
Let us have beginning OF paved
streets. Such a start if it were but
one block would take like cold water
on a hot day, and would be an in
centive and inspiration to continue,
and the necessary funds could be
easily forthcoming. The authorities
who would put such an enterprise on
foot would be memorialized if not
lmmortaized. Who is holding such a
blessing benefit back ? Let them yield
to this loud public demand in the in.
terest of right conditions.
What an advantage to Bloomsbuvg
if Athletic Park could be arranged
and beautihed as a park; how it would
educate and uplit, if kept from the
evil And much it would add to our
town. What rest and pleasure it
would afford our people. If the town
has not money to undertake this why
not agitate the subject for our Labor
days and awaken our public schools
to the privilege of doing such a grand
work on those days through a sue.
cession of years, and no one in town
would be any poorer. Then the
authorities would be encouraged to
do some landscape gardening, and a
beautiful park arise before us. But,
to make our town what it ought to be
We must have more, or more active
industries. Why could we not have a
paper mill at Iron Dale, with the
splendid water power, and as paper
was brought in, ague and fever would
be ordered out and it would get its

The difference between the policies
OF the republican and democratic par
ties is well illustrated by the division
among the representatives Of the for
mer party and the solid opposition OF
the latter to the Puerto Rican tariff
bill now under debate in congress. The
question at issue does not, as many
casual readers may imagine, relate
directly or indirectly TO the principle
OF protection as against free trade. 1t
involves a grave question Of constitu-
tional Interpretation or construction
upon which there is the utmost room
for difference OF opinion between intel
ligent and independent statesmen Of
every political hue. II is for this rea-
son that We find the committee from
which the present bill originated. al
though composed in its majority Of the
party and doubtless personal associates
of the president, recommending a
measure directly opposed to the policy
OF his administration and in conflict
with his own individual view and Off
cial advice. The bin proposed by Inc
committee, if rejected, can be defeated
only through republican votes. Yet We
find the democrats in congress solidly,
as the dispatches express it, arrayed in
opposition TO the bill. And 80 it has
been with every great question that
has confronted the narion in forty
years. No matter what it was-wheth-
er it related to the issue or retirement
Of the greenbacks-whether it involved
the adoption Of important and abso-
lutely essential amendments to the
onstitution-whether it involved the
reconstruction and admission back TO
statehood of the sections Of the country
dismembered and torn by interneci1e
conflict-wheher 1t had to do with the
resumption of specie payments--the
reform Of the civil service-the col
lection Of public revenue-the payment
Of the public debt-the question Of ter
ritorial and commercial expansion-the
improvement of fnances-or any other
public question, it matters not what,
we have the same old obstruction and
policy Of negation from the democrats
as party to any bill, resolution, meas
ure or suggestion, that issues from are
publican source, however meritorious,
non -partison, patriotic or essential it
may be to the welfare Of the country
and the people at large.

An article from the Chicago Times
Herald. published elsewhere, shows to
what extent the proposition for the
election of United States senators by
direct vote of the people is taking hold
OF the country. II is understood that
the coming Oregon state republican
convention will probably adopt a reso-
luton declaring in favor Of that re-
form, and the national convention will
certainly do so. One method adopted
years ago by many Eastern and Mid
die Western states to avoid the un-
seemly legislative contests that have
hindered public business and disgraced
other sections has been to express a
preference at the regular state conven-
tion between those who We're avowed
candidates for such honors. OF course

The indications are that the rush to
cape Nome in the coming spring and
summer will equal that to Klondike in
1885 Happily. these diggings are on
United States territory, and the exac-
tions which the Canadian authorities
perpetrated on Americans win not be
repeated in Cape Nome as regards min
ers from any part of the world. There
are hopes that the new diggings will be
richer than any found in Canada. II
the expectations of the experts are
borne out the United States in 1900 and
1901 will go TO a high rank among the
gold-producing countries. There is a
belief, indeed, that the deposits in the
Cape Nome region are more widely ex-
tended than are those even in South
Africa, which are the richest thus far
found anywhere in the world The
United States has probably. when all
its gold and silver mines are taken
into account, more of the precious
metals thar any other country.

BOUNTY PLAN FOR AIDING AMER
fCAN SHIPPING.

The figures presented by the National
Board Of Trade in support of their
resolutions favorlng the enactment of
the Payne subsidy bill tell the story
of the rapid decline of our merchant
marine in the foreign trade. AS an
argument to justify the adoption Of
measures for its restoration it's figures
are convincing and conclusive. But
that bounty or subsidy system is the
legislative device best calculated to de-
velop an American merchant marine
in foreign shipping is proposition up
on which well-informed statesmen fall
to agree.
It is fact that United States yes
sels carried % per cent Of the nations
imports and exports in 1926, and that
