the columns Of the Journal that the ex-

would seem that the time has come when
local humane society is not only desir-
able but necessary. not only to prevent
such atrocities, but also TO strike a blow

society whose very existence is a menace
to such outrages? Who will take the
initiative in organizing such a society?
Ii is a simple thing to do because the
highest element in your moral and social

one issue a call through the columns Of
the Journal appoint place of meeting
and there form a society. The governor
of Your State appoints as agent any one
whose name is submitted to him by 4

the expenses when a case is prosecuted.

the animals at the mercy of the hunters

We have scriptural aut lorty for be-
lieving that houses that are divided

therefore we may look for falls in the

sion OF opinion among colleagues was
never so great as it is to-day. In the
State of Indiana, for EXAMPLE, Mr.
Fairbanks and MIR. Beveridge, and i'm
the State of Illinois, Mr.. Cullom and
Mr. Mason, do not agree on scarcely
any topic, but they are not half as bad
as some of the other Senator'S. In

FREE MAIL DELIVERY IN THE
COUNTRY.

Apent the cry for better mail facili-
ties throughout the country districts.
the Virginian-P commends TO the
people of the Second Congressional Dis
trict the effort now being made by Con-
gresham Otey for free delivery in the
counties of his district (the Sixth.)
The plan, at first blush, seems too
ponderous to be practical, but upon ex-
animation proves simple and inexpen-
sive enough. All one has to do, in order
to secure the benefits of the delivery
after it has been authorized by the De-
partment Is to provide n box on the
line of the route convenient to the car
rier; then file with the postmaster to
whose Office his mail is addressed a
written order that his mail be delivered
to the carrier on his route. stating that
the carrier shall deliver the same in his
box. giving the location OF the same.
1t will be seen. therefore, that without
any expense. except the iron box to be
furnished. a resident OF the county can
secure daily mail service, IL not twice
day.
The convenience and value OF this to
truckers cannot be overestimated.

we have this triumph of Republican
statesmanship. "
1t Is. OF course. obvious that IL Porto
Rico and the Philippines were govern
ed under the Constitution and laws OF
the United States no nation would have
had any more excuse to demand an
"open door, at Manila than at New
York or San Francisco. The "opeh
door, agreement as to China was sup
posed to carry within itself mutual
concessions. England. France. Russia
and Germany not only guarantee the
United States an ''open door" in China,
but 1t guarantees the same to them.
And IL the Philippines were under the
Constitution, either OF these nations
could demand an "open door" at Ma
nila with no more show of reason than
the United States could demand It at
Bremen, or Havre, or Odessa.
But an administration that goes out
of Its way to dig bitches for other peo-
pie may be expected to recognize obli-

For the six months from July LIST to De
