the American Protective Tariff League, is
in Washington to-day. He says, speaking
of the Babcock bill:
Mr.. Babcock is an elegant gentleman,
and will not be made martyr of, but the
principle of his measure is entirely wrong.
The states should correct the trust evil
through state legislation. If they do not
have courage to do so it is not the busi-
ness Of the protective system to act as a
stalking horse for them. Moreover, we
see nothing in the present business con-
ditions of the country that calls for any
change in the tariff whatever We believe
in letting we'll enough alone, and we feel

RURAL
MAIL BOXES

gresham EDDY VIII
have conference with the postmaster
general regarding rural free delivery mail
boxes. All over the country much dissat-
lsfact1on has been experienced with the
action OF the department in giving four
teen firms monopoly of the rural mail
box business. 1t is claimed that the de-
partment exceeded its authority when it
authorized the monopoly and paved the
way to vigorous overhauling in congress
next winter. Mr.. Eddy said to-day that
ne was sure congress would take the ques-
ton up and settle it properly. "All that
the government has a right to demand .
says Mr.. Eddy; lis that the boxes shall
properly protect the mail and be reason
ably safe and durable. 1t is self evident
that all boxes coming within the require
ments should be suitable for use, no mat
ter where made or by whom.
Several months ago a commission was
appointed by the postmaster general to
receive bids from firms which wanted to
make boxes. Some fifty bids were opened.
About ten were for boxes which were en-
tirely unsuited for the purpose The rest
au came within the requirements. it is
claimed, but for some reason the commits
sion selected fourteen and threw out all
the others. Tie point is made that there
Is no law for such favoritism. Newspapers
which have boxes of their own and sub
scrfbers along. the several routes are
equally interested in the proposed investi-.
cation. What can be done at this late day
nobody can tell but the fact that congress
is 70 be advised Of all contracts that have
been let for boxes may operate In the di-
rection Of more liberal rulings.

Tuesdays Elections.

The republican tidal wave seems
to be still doing business at the old
stand. In South Da kota only Cir
cult Judges were elected by districts.
Republicans probably carried seven
OF the eight districts on light vote.
In this, the 9Th Circuit Judge
Gaffy bod no opposition. hence the
vote is very light. Only SO votes
were polled in Miller and perhaps
not over $50 votes in Hand county.
Iowa gave governor e ummins, re,
publican, over $4,000 majority.
Republicans carry Nebraska by
5000 to 10, 900.
Ohio is put in the republican col.
umn by 5000,
The greatest struggle, however
was in New YORK City, VIII ere Seth
Low and his reform forces defeated
Croker and his democratic Tam
many, by some 10000.

ment mail employee, was in Miller

incorporated the feature OF deliver
ing the mail into boxes along the
routes.
Full information relative to the
conditions under which such delivery
can be made may be obtained from

Rec Heights.

Last week Gardener Bros bought
of the Rec Heights Horse Farm the
black 8 year old gelding Crescent.
which is now being shaped up for IL
lady's driving horse. This gelding
is sired by Noxal whose blood lines
produced Joe Patchen 2:01A, John
r. Gentry. 2:00k and the great sires
Ashl and Wilkes and Mckinney who
out rank all sires in the production
of speed for the year 1901.

blood that produced Gen. Taylor
who holds the worlds record for 30
miles { 1 hour, Al minu ties ana 80

10 mile record or min. % See. J
Crescent ought TO make fairly
good road horse in addition to these
great blood lines. He is fairly
good locker, is intelligent, fearless,
kind and gentle. Tie Editors family
is driving 3 yr. old, an exact mate
to this fellow and as Bro. Bush had
first choice we expect he will ever be
ready to dispute the honors Of the
road with Gardeners. Thetwo colts
ought TO 90 together, they would
make a good road team.

PAINFUL OPERATION.
Flesh Cut From Side Of Josephine
Prickett to Save Cousin.

To save the life of her little cousin,
Josephine Prickett, the young daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. William S. prickett of
No. 1907 West Fourteenth street, allowed
i most painful operation to be performed
on her. Several days ago her seyen-year-
old cousin, Joseph Polls, son of the Rev.
and Mrs. Samuel Polk, of Eddington,
Pa, was so badly burned that it was
necessary to engraft flesh from other hui
man beings in order to save his life.
Learning of this, Josephine, of her
own accord, offered to allow Il portion
of her skin to be taken from her side,
and with a great deal of satisfaction
submitted to the operation. About 20
crafts We're taken from her.
Thus far about 100 CRAFTS have been
applied TO the burned portions of the
body. About so have come from the
hoy's father. Miss Amos of York, Pa,
and Mr.. Ellis Of Philadelphia as well as
little Josephine Prickett of this city, all
permitted the ENGRAVING of portions of
their skin upon the injured child. His con
dition continues very serious, but it is
hoped that the heroic efforts made will
save his life

At the meeting of City Council last

thorizing the borrowing of $4,000 for

$50, 900 for the use of Council.
The three ordinances We're introduced
by MIR. Kane, chairman of the Finance
Committee. The ordinance, for borrow
ing 100000 for the use of Council was
introduced first. 1t provides that $1,55O
Of it should be used in paying off the

The ordinances were read twice and re-
tees.
The act in reference to the Street and
Sewer Department loan is mandatory on
Council but the one in reference to the
Park Commission loan is not, and il
