There are many speculations on
the probable results of rural mail
delivery upon the country. The
tendencies of the times are towards
greater Capitalization in all lines,
and one of the immediate results
will he fewer county postofliccs,
because patrons would prefer de-
livery at the door to going to the
village postoflicc for their mail.
For the same reason it is not I'M
likely that the number of country

DiSgruntled Editors.

THE editor of the old st. Louis
Globe Democrat has been murmur-
ing for years because Missouri
turns up every election so thoroly
Democratic and said editor cannot
have his own way in affairs politi
cal in this State. 1t makes him
ever keep up the cry, Poor Old
Missouri" That cry has hurt the
State in no small measure, not
here at home, where everybody
understands the situation, but in
TIE States abroad. 1t causes them
to belittle MS and think MS little of
us rs the words of the quotation
would naturally suggest. The c.
ID. is working against its own
State by this continued unholy
course.
But what we want to bring up
here is that the Mexico Ledger

gainst its own town, as the CD.
is working against its own State,
and that, too, where it gets its
main support and where it claims
its citizenship. Editor White 5
case is nearly parallel with
this. He has been getting up ev-
cry Christmas tree, building street
railways, constructing rock roads
for the county, getting up contri-
buttons for the heather, reducing
official salaries and, in general,
having his own way till only last
spring when the MESSAGE dared
invade the field and scooped in the
city printing. Ever since then
said editor has been out of fix to-
wards the City Council-seeming-
ly fighting the MESSAGE over their
shoulders.
We want to be to the point here
he is hurting his town. 1t doesn t
hurt here at home, where ev-
erybody knows just the editor :
ailment, but it hurts us with pco-
pie abroad.
Here, this one instance: If he
was first so anxious for the reduc-
ton of salaries and is hunting
but that almost in vain-fOr a man
now and then who would be will
ing to do the work of II city coun-
Gilman for nothing, let the said
editor be Just rs consistent and
contented to get along awhile with
out the city printing for nothing
Behold, thou hast instructed

Treasury Department which were
formulated under an act of congress

ject of this act is to prevent the i'm
portation of impure and unwholesome
teas. The standard Is fixed by board
of seven members. all of whom must
be tea experts. once year this board
is appointed by the secretary of the
treasury, to whom the standards are
submitted for approval. In comparing
with standards examiners test all the
teas on these points: For quality, for
any foreign matter on the surface OF
the infusion, sometimes called scum,
and for quality of infusion. Quality is
ascertained by drawing according to
the custom of the tea trade with the
weight of a half dime to the cup. The
quality must be equal to standard, but
the flavor may be that of a different
district as long as it is equal in sweet
ness. AS an illustration. Teenkai
may be equal to a Moyune, but dis
tinctly smoky or rank Fychow or
Wenchow of sour character will not be
considered as equal to the two first
mentioned. Rejected teas either are

Look to yOnr own interest and
forget past affiliations in the
hour of danger to your country.
Imperialism and militarism
means danger to the Union our
forefathers established.
The continuation of the war
means millions of expense and a
continued tax on the farmer and
labOrer.
A vote for Mckinley and
Pearre means a continuation of
all trusts, which means high
prices for all articles used on the
farm and in the household.
Bryan, like Lincoln, will stand
for the rights of the people
against mOnopolies and standing
armies.
Millions are being subscribed
to defeat the will of the people.
Let them be true to themselves
and vote for the men who will
befriend them.
