Range Is Passing Away.

Not many sections OF the nation re-
main to be discovered. So steadily
has the abundance of population
poured into the newer portions OF the
trans.Mississippi region that little
has been unexplored. But the varied
uses to which the settlers have put
their possessions have been so posi-
lively defined that the change from
one to another has almost the effect
OF a transformation from virgin plain.
1t is such change that is taking
place in the southwest, that rich, yet
little known reach Of valley and plain
that extends to the Mexican border
and faces to the blue waters OF the
Gulf Of Mexico. In its boundaries are
embraced parts of three territories
and Of two states, all Of which less
than decade ago, was cattle coun-
try in the largest sense OF the phrase.

rate SO rapid that it is making

Lawrence Journal: Charles b. Far
well, the many times millionaire and
ex.United States senator OF Illinois,
has brought suit against j. B. Case
Of Abilene, for $4,000 claimed on an
old boom town deal. This will cause
a broad and deep horse laugh to well
up from the bosom Of every man who
was caught in the western Kansas
booms. The idea Of a man bringing
suit to recover anything on those old
deals is regarded by all Kansas men
who we're concerned in them as the
extreme OF funny business. Kansas
men who "lost their wad" have long
ago quit thinking about it even, and
look upon their experience out there
as one Of The greatest jokes Of their
lives. An expensive joke, it is true
but joke just the same; one they
have paid for and have a right to en-
joy if they want to. But for a man
like Senator Farwell to take the mat
ter seriously will be not only funny
but incomprehensible to them.

obviate one Of the difficulties existent

he may, on thirty days notice, cancel

permitted to bid for the route. There
is no question but what this will be-

Salaries for Rural Mail Carriers.

The committee on postoilice and
postroads has submitted to the house
a report Of a bill to classify the rural
free delivery service, and fix the COM
pensation to employees thereof The
bill provides for the necessary ofli-
cials to properly conduct the rural
service, namely, special agents, route
inspectors, clerks, carriers and other
minor employees.
Under this measure all rural free
delivery carriers in the service on the
SOth day Of June, 1902, may be con.
tinued in the service at salary not
exceeding 5000 per annum, but after
that date such additional carriers as
may be added to the service shall be
designated pursuant to an ADVERTISE
ment inviting competitive bidding
Under this provision no contract shall
be let to a person who is not legal
and actual resident Of the district or
territory in which the proposed SER
vice is to be performed; that he shall
be reliable and trustworthy, able to
read and write, OF good moral char
acter, and OF sufficient intelligence
and ability to properly perform the
service; that no person shall be award
ed q contract for more than one route,
and that the person to whom the con-
tract is let shall personally perform
the service. The report says:
"Your committee feels, after care
full investigation Of the whole sub.
iect, that the method OF compensation
which we advocate in this bill is the
most equitable that can be adopted,
when ii is considered that routes vary
from sixteen to thirty.eight miles in
length, over level, billy, mountainous,
macadamized and dirt roads, which
conditions would render any rate Of
salary that might be fixed inequitable,
because some men would perform
more than double the service per-
formed by others. Under the system
proposed each route would be dealt
with by itself, and would be paid for
upon the basis of what the service
performed is worth"
1t has been claimed that under a
contract system, so called, not as
good service as we have at present
could be secured, nor could the SER
vice be so well disciplined. The value
Of such argument must disappear
when it is remembered that in each
instance the carrier enters into a
written agreement to perform spec
flied service under the supervision Of
the postal authorities, the same as II

Only Two Languages.

Worlds Work for March: The ma
lions Of the earth speak two languages
in their foreign relations and only
two-the language Of power and the
language Of trade. We know them
both. The old feeling Of indifference
or Of contempt with which we were
long regarded has, therefore, natur.
ally given place to feeling Of very
much greater respect than we ever
before inspired.
There is this difference between the
former attitude Of the Old World to
us and its present attitude: Hereto
fore individuals and certain sections
Of public opinion in every foreign
country had an enthusiastic regard
for the institutions OF the republic;
but foreign governments themselves,
courts and rulers and chancellors and
military opinion, held us in slight
esteem, as
"Unkempt, disreputable vast"
And not unnaturally. But three re.
cent events have greatly changed
their feeling toward us. These three
events were the demonstration Of our
naval efficiency; our acceptance Of
colonial responsibilities and our
success against all preconceiyed no.
tions of the ability of republic to
do such task; and our rapid devel'
opment Of a foreign trade. For these
reasons foreign governments them
selves, as well as intelligent nom
official foreign opinion, now regard
us more highly. And the evidences
that they give Of this esteem are not
the less pleasing because they happen
to come in somewhat embarrassing
proiusion. II Uncle Sam bushes
while he bows, we trust that he will
be forgiven, for in recent years he
has had occasion to feel and to express
as best he could many new emotions.
