Would Not Make Meat Cheaper.


The tariff on cattle does not keep out
Of the American market animals fit for
beef. but an inferior quality Of young
cattle. The tariff on beef does not keep
out of lhls country the few fat cattle
that Canada raises, because they are
shipped to England. All the while that
prices of beef have been so high the
United States has been exporting to
England a great deal more meat than
Canada, cornless country, has been
sending abroad. Canada is a country
with 100000 inhabitants. and about
100000 in the part of It that can raise
cattle at considerable cost. 1t can never
become a cattle-producing country be-
cause of its long winters and its lack
Of corn. AS for Argentina. its cattlc
are so inferior that they find a limited
demand in Great Britain. The United
States is the greatest meat-produeing
country in the world For d number OF
years It was not a profitable industry
for farmers, and the greatly Increased
demand at hsme and in Europe since
1896 found the country with limited
supply. particularly Of fat cattle due
largely TO the short corn crop Of 1901.
Free trade In cattle Just now would not
make meat cheaper. since prices are

The leader Of the religious fanatics in
Somaliland. against whom Great Britain
is about to begin genuine war. is the
son of a Somali shepherd and is about
IS years old. His operations began early
In 1899. when he led a raid against
neighboring tribe on the pretext that its
members had stolen camels from his peo-
pie. He was then an ordinary mullah
or priest. but after humber of success
full raids he proclaimed himself the sue
cessor of the mahdi. assumed an antago-
nistic attitude towards the British pro-
tectofate government, and announced that
he intended to rule the interior. leaving
the coast to the Europeans. Great Brit
ain, with the Boer war on its hands. was
unable TO furnish sufficient protection to
the friendly or neutral natives with the
result that thousands of them joined the
mad mullah, being given the choice Of
doing so or being raided. In March. 1900
he attacked an Abyssinian expedition Of
1900 men sent against him. and although
he lost 1900 men and retreated. the fe-
roeity of his attack inspired Menelik's
troops with such a dread of him that no
attempt was made to pursue him. Three
years ago he had 5000 followers. with
only sixty rifles; now he has 10000 men.

MILLIONS FOR FARMERS MAIL.
mpIete Rural Free Delivery Will Cost
Gross S24,oOo,oOo a Year.


The annual gross cost of a complete
rural free delivery service throughout
the United States will approximate S24,-
100000, according to the annual report
which First Assistant Postmaster GEN
eral Wynne received from August w.
Machen, general superintendent of the
service.
The remaining 100000 square miles
not now covered by rural free delivery
service, according to the report. will re-
Quire the employment Of 10000 or 81
600 carriers in addition to those aow
employed, making the entire force of
carriers 10000 when the extension Of the
service is completed within the next three
years. After this extension is complet-
ed the annual rate Of increase in the
appropriations is expected not to exceed
s or 8 per cent, the rate maintained in
other branches of the p1stal service.
To extend the service 1900 routes a
year until it becomes universal, the re-
port says, will rcqaire such largely in
creased appropriations that the annual
postoflce deficits for the ensuing two or
three years probably will reach $1,000
600 or $10,000,000, if not more, but once
the service is completed the additional
revenue derived thercfrom will soon re-
duce the deficits 10 present figures, if not
entirely wine them out.
During 1902 there were filed 12,403 pc
titions for the service, making the total
on July / last of 22.U4G which exceeded
by over ZOO the total number during
the preceding four years. Since July pc
titions received have averaged over 600
month. With the amount required for
routes to begin Dec ! the entire appro-
priation has been absorbed, leaving on
Dec. l fly LOO routes for which there
is no appropriation available. This num-
Der probably win be increased by Jan. /
to at least $500
