After many statements To the con-
trary, the commissioners of the St.
Louis exposition have finally decided
to postpone it till 1904. The decision
is caused by the impoSsiblllty of COM
pleting all the buildings by 1908, and
by the general Discrimination of foreign
governments to participate in the fair
before 1904. The postponement ought
to result in more thorough and salts
factory preparations.

General Schofield's testimony in

General Schofield's testimony in be-
half of the army bill Of Secretary
Root ought to have great weight.
Schofield was an excellent soldier, has
seen much service and has been both
commanding general of the army and
also secretary of war for a brief time.
Further than this, he is, as far as
army officers have politics, a demo
crat. He favors the doing away with
the Office of commanding general and
the creation of a general staff be de-
tail from the line, the commander of
the staff TO be appointed by the presi-
dent foI four years, and to be COM
handing general of the army, SO far
as there is one. OF course, this
carries with it the consolidation Of
the various supply departments OF the
army, and is the essential feature Of
the proposed bill.

Stones experience the missionary So

The riots in Brussels was simply n
outbreak of anarchiSm or hostility to
all government. There is not a freer
country in Europe than Belgium, and
there is no special reason for hostility
to King Leopold. The rioters do not
want reform nor better government.
They want no government at all.

Those who are in position TO know,
say there are fewer fatted cattle in
the great cattle producing regions at
present than at any time for twenty
five years past. 1t does not pay to
kill lean cattle, and stock raisers will
not do it if they can help it. One or
two big corn crops will bring the price
of pork down, but it looks as if it
might be some years before beef will
be as low as it was year ago.
