Rural Mail Delivery.

First Assistant Postmaster General
Whine has issued circular letter to
the poStmasterS of all rural free de-
livery pOStofficeS inStructing them
that poStmaSters and rural free deliv-
cry carriers are not permitted to con-
denim the letter boxes used by patrons.
The order directs that they shall con-
tinue to serve boxes already erected
until regular inspection of such
boxes can be made by the route in
SpectOrS and special agents, who will
condemn the boxes found unsafe or
which otherwise fail to meet the re-
quirementS. The entire force of rural
free delivery inspectors is now inveS-
tigating petitions for such service and

be made for a month or two. There
will be IA, 900 rural free delivery pos
tai routes in operation on July | next,

The Secretary Of Agriculture, re-
turning from a visit to the West about
the middle of September, was enthu-
Siastic as to what he saw of the crop
prospects in the chief corn-prOducing
states. He says the corn crop in parts
of Kansas, Nebraska and Indiana is
probably the finest on record. There
have been, in the secretary's opinion,
more hundreds of millions of dollars
depending on the ripening of this crop
this year than the ordinary person has
ever realized. While the crop is lit
tie DIT late any danger of its failure
can now be considered over. While
the crop may not be record-breaker,
the quality of the corn is splendid,
and with the exception Of the south
ern states. the yield per acre is heavy.
The wheat crop of the west this year
is also fine, and what may be conSid-
cred the most important Of all, the
grass crop is exceedingly good. The
census tells us that there has been a
great increase during the last ten
years in the number Of cattle in the
United States. This information,

Something Better Than a Queen.

Royal and aristOcratlc society of the
old world has been shocked by the an
nouncement that ex-Queen Christina,
of Spain, another of the fresh young
AiphonSo, is married to one outside Of
regal circles, count who occupied
the not very important position of ex-
chequer of horse. 1t is said to be a
genuine love match, the two having
been greatly attached to each other
in youth. By imperial influence the
queen was compelled to marry the
king of Spain and her life has been a
series of sorrows ever since. Now
that she is free and practically dis
owned by her unfilial son, for whom
she sacrificed much she turns to the
old love Of her young years, and hopes
to live in peace and happiness the rest
of her days. Certainly the poor queen
ought to have little taste of the bet
ter part of life before she quits the
world. She has had her full portion
of bitterness.

Messrs. Joseph Andres, Joseph

OF the BearSS hotel, having purchas-
ed the interest of A. t. Reed, who has
conducted the popular place for sever
al years. The new firm say that they
have the means, spirit and enterprise
to do just what they say. The man.
agement will be in the hands of
Messrs. Stegman and Blue. The prop
erty of Mr.. Reed was purchased for
$1,000, which includes all the furni-
ture of the house and sample room and
fixtures.
The BearSS, under the new proprie-
tors, will be Overhauled from cellar TO

duced, where needed, of an up-to-date
kind, and every modern idea conducive
to the convenience and comfort of
guests will be specialties.

clerk, and LeSeur Case, also an exper-
fenced hotel man, in their service.

He fastened to Explain.

a pretty good joke is told on Col.
+: NJ. Dice, the rural route Inspector
who was here last week. a few
months ago he was called to a noun
tain town in Kentucky tc establish a
route, and as his train reached the
town late at night, and his time was
limited, he telegraphed the postmaster
TO meet him in his room at the hotel
at 10 O'Clock that night. At the APP
pointed hour there was a rap on the
colonel's door, and in response to bis
invitation, in walked a brawny Ken
tuckian. who without any prellmi-
naries inquired, Il want to know,
sab, what you mean by sending. word
TO my sister to meet you in your room
at the hOtel?" The colonel lost nc
in explaining that he did not know
that the postmaster was woman.

The Weather at Kewanna.

The Kewanna Herald says the
weather in the neighbOrhOod of that
village has been so extremely wet that
the rural route drivers constructed
seats out on top of their covered wag-
onS so as to protect themselves and
the mail from being submerged in
passing mud holes along the road.
Whenever they would reach one of
these holes they would whip the horse
as long as he was in sight and when
the horse disappeared they would whip
the bubbles till the horse came up
smiling on the other side of the
slough. Lawn mowers were run on
the side walks here in town Sunday to
scare the bull frogs off so tho ladies
could 90 to church.

ga penny saved is penny earned, u
said Benjamin Franklin, and his max
in never had better appreciation
than in the systematic manner in
which the small leaks and wastes are
guarded against in large business en-
terprises. Among these there is no
industry in which more attention is
given to the saving OF small items of
expenditure than in the railway bust
ness. Suppose it is found possible. by
the employment of a new method of
an improved box, to save a quart of
oil in running of a freight train one
mile. The result would be an enor-
nous money saving when applied to
the millions of freight train miles run
in the United States in one year.
In 1900 our railroads run $50, 09O,-
Os2 train miles. The average operat-
ing expenses per train mile was ST.
O72.ss. Suppose, through the i'm
provements the railways are constant
ly making, it is possible to save two
cents per train mile. On the mileage
run in 1900, this would be yearly saw
ing of over seventeen million dollars,
equal to an annual dividend of four
per cent on 1925, 900, 900. Or, to
state the matter in another way, sup
pose the railroads could borrow
money at four per cent. and expend
it SO as to make an average reduction
of only one cent on the train rnile cost.
they would be justified in borrowing
5000, 900, 900. Verify. it is on the saw
ing in small things that the railroads
must rely to make large profits.

taken together with the fine crop Of
grass, insures lower prices Of meat.
Mr.. Wilson, however, thinks the price
OF meat will never be as low as it has
been in the past, for the simple reason
tnat the American people are more
prosperous than ever before. When
the present 'feeders get fattened up
to beef condition the exceedingly high
prices will come down. The demand
of England for our meats is another
factor that will tend to keep prices.

A Debt.DestrOying Party.

The policy of the republican party
is resulting not only in wiping out the
state debt which was e legacy from
democratic administrations of state
affairs, but in freeing the farms and
homes of the state of mortgages to an
extent never before known. In fact,
the republican party is diftinctively a
debt-paying party in national, state
and local government, and in private
affairs Steuben Republican.

The Rev. Dr. Mcleod Says In . Sermon
That the Man wasn't RooseYe cit or stone.

SCRANTON. Pa, Nov. 23-The Rev. DR..
James Mcleod caused considerable talk
about the city by a sermon that he preached
at the First Presbyterian Church here
to-day on the Dignity Of Labor" His
text was. six days shalt thou labor and
do all thy work"
The doctor spoke Of the passages in the
Scripture hat refer to the hours Of labor
and said that the Lord evidently intended
that the maximum should be twelve. There
has been great deal Of talk hereabouts,
he said, of the dignity of labor. 1t was
taking phrase and, when rightly used
eminently appropriate, but they who by
threats Of violence would interfere with
the lawful liberty of their fellow work
men know nothing about the dignity Of
labor,
The men who conspire toget her 20 intimi-
date willing workers and to compel them
20 remain idle, he said. are a disgrace to
American labor, American manhood and
American citizenship. After declaring that
some labor leaders are disposed to tyranny,
DR.. Mcleod aimed a slap at John Mitchell
by saving:
Neither the President OF the United
States nor the Governor OF Pennsylvania
has been the ruler In the coal regions durn z
the past Ave months. You can guess who
the real ruler has been and there is cause
for thankfulness that his paralyzing reign
of terror has not been more injurious"

saw the violence resorted to within . day.
This was a comparatively unskflled industry
and those strikers had no other way TO deal
with the situation. II they could not pre-
vent men from the taking Of their places
by violence. their strike was defeated, and
their places were lost
These are but illustrations of a universal
fact Now, what il the theory on which.

The laborer who has worked in a factory
or shop for years . ven for months only
has acquired an equitable right In that
factory which is not discharged by the
weekly payment Of his wages. He has
made a part of the reputation of that fac
tory and the reputation Of It's product
He has created a part OF the good will OF
that factory.
This claim il substantial and II is not

He joins his fellows In declaring that for q
time they do not propose 10 continue to
work in that factory on the conditions
which prevail at the moment
HE then sees a man taking his pla ce.
Now. that man is possessing himself OF
the claim on the factory Of the right In
equity which the former laborer has ac-
CURED. and which he ought not TO lose
by going on a strike.
The incoming man is thief and robbsr
and he can be dealt with as one deals with

violence is justified between man and man

The argument is plausible, but has a
fatal weak spot. II claims a right in the

tinuors operation and also claims the right

Alderman Doul wrote to the president
Of the Central Federated Union last week
TO say that he. sure, would oppose the
adoption of the Pennsylvania tunnel fran
chise without labor clauses. There was
much more in the letter about the Alder
mans friendliness for labor. Mr.. Doull
attended the c. F. L. meeting yesterday
to see the effect for himself.
He was quickly discovered, identified
by delegates who knew him and escorted
to the platform. When his letter had been
read, he made speech all about his love
for organized labor. He was then put
through a course Of sprouts by deleg ties
who wanted to know how the Tammany
Aldermen will vote. One delegate wanted
10 know If l. adler Murphy hadn't instructed
the Tammany Aldermen to vote for the
franchise, anyhow.

that its members may vote as they please
Not even newspaper articles can influence

"MIDDLE CLASS" Must SAVE Us.
So says Judge Kohlsaat In Speaking OF the
Very Rich and the Trouble Makers.

On clGo. Nov. 2}.---To the middle classes
this country must look for the settlement
If the serious problems that are now being
agitated. said Judge c. e. Kohlsaat at a
banquet at the Lincoln Club last evening
1t was the monthly gathering Of the men,
bers Of the organization. Judge Kohlsaat
followed the speakers who had discussed the
needs Of Chicago at the present time.
There are more serious questions before
us now than at any time since the Civil
War" Judge Kohlsaat said. There are
more labor troubles. There are more
strikes There is a growing spirit Of resis-
lance to the law, a foaning, frothing, eth-
ing upheaval that keeps capital uneasy.
Much Of this trouble is the result Of personal
greed the result of ambition.
There are two extremes in the saddle
to-day, the exceedingly wealthy and the
laboring man. The salvation Of this coun-
try lies with the middle class people, who
read and think and think and read the class
that stands out and says; You have your
rights, but you have not The right to leopard
re the rights or the rerpetuity Of our coun-
Try
They are the men who must save this
country in all its troubles and they are in
the majority
