A Difference OF Opinion.

There seems to be a wide difference
of opinion between the temperance
and liquor people regarding the ef-
ficacy of the Nicholson law but mas
much as all the recent supreme court
decisions have all been favorable to
the temperance people IS cause it would
seem that it should be a satisfactory
law to all except those who want ex-
IRENE legislation. The editor of the
Middlebury Independent complains
that it puts all the burden on the
temperance people and when fully en-
forced is little better than no law at
all. On the other maud, J. f. Callen,
editor of Our Standard, liquor deal
ers' paper. says he wouldn't start a
saloon In the residence district if a Ii
cenSe was presented him, SO far reach
ing does he think the power-of-attor-
ney in circumstances against saloons
will be. "The power-of-attorney ap-
proved by the supreme COURT" he says
twill reduce the number of saloons in
Indiana one-half. The power-Of-at-
tarney decision amounts to local opt
ion, which a former supreme court
held unconstitutional. E"

New Democratic Reorganization.

The latest plan for recognizing the
democratic party comes from the
Bryan wing and is evidently intended
to check the recent aggressiveness of
the gold democrats. The plan of the
latter, as outlined at the Tilden Club
banquet, was to ireorganize the party
to the exclusion of Organism and
If Bryan and his personal
followers and the populistS desired to
march in the democratic army they
could do so, but 1t must be as fol-
lowers, not as leaders, and they must
leave all their lmpedimentS of
Bryanistic and populistic ideas be-
hind. The new plan isquite different.
1t proposes to reorganize the party on
lines that will compel gold democrats
to take back seats, and will still ex-
tend the glad hand to the populists.
Indeed, popuIist leaders like former
Senator Pettigrew, of South Dakota,
are to be charter members of the re-
organization party. The god-fathers
of the proposed new party have had a
conference in New York and issued a
prospectus of their plan. The only
concessions they make is that free sill
yer shall not be an issue and Mr..
Bryan will not be candidate again
for president, at least not in 1904, but
he must have great deal to say
about the platforms, the issues and
the management of the party. This
means that the fight against Grover
Cleveland and his followers is to be
kept up.

Meat for Children.

One of the most unfortunate evil
consequences Of an early and liberal
meat diet, says DR.. Winters, is the
loss of relish it creates for the
physiological foods of childhood-milk,
cereals and vegetables. ga child
that is allowed a generous meat diet, I"
he adds, is certain to refuse cereals
and vegetables. Meat, by its stlmu-
lating effect, produces habit as sure
ly as does alcohol, tea or coffee, and
distaSte for less satisfying foods. The
foods which the meat-eating child
eSchews contain in large proportions
certain mineral constituents which
are essential to bodily nutrition and
health, and without which the
processes of fresh growth and develop
ment are stunted. There is more So
called nervousness, anaemia, rheumat-
ism, valvular disease of the heart and
chorea at the present time in children
from an excess of meat and its prepare
tions i'm the diet than from all other
causes combined" he declares.

Some Railroad Figures.

Free traders insist on calling our
great railroad business one of our non
protected industries, and yet there is
no single industry in the country SO
dependent on the tariff for profitable
business. This is clearly seen in the
record during the last FIVE years under
the Dingley law as compared with
the figures under the free trade Will
Son-Gorman law. Then large pro-
portion of the roads of the country
were in the hands of receivers: now
only about per cent of the roads of
the country are in receivers hands.
Then the railroad business of the
country was, to say the least, in pretty
bad shape: now the business is limited
only by facilities to handle the freight
offered.
We have just passed the 100000
mark in railroad mileage. This
means total mileage of railroad syS-
TENS. OF total track we have about
100000 miles. This represents a
capital of s12, 900, 900, 900, with annual
earnings of 1,5OO, 0OO,O 900. A total
of 600, 100000 passengers are carried
annually and over l, 100. 900, 900 tons
of freight. More than 1000, 900 men
are employed, with annual wages
exceeding 5000, 900, 900.

WI gets back to his native land, he

Rural Free Delivery.

The order of the Postoffice Depart
ment regulating the construction, size
and general use of the rural delivery
mail box is liberal enough in its re-
quirementS to meet the wishes OF all.
Any one of fourteen styles of boxes
will do. They may be square, OBJ
long, circular, Tor semi-circular. All
that is asked is that they shall be of
strong workmanship and of good ma
terial.
But the department is little more
particular as regards some other
points. The boxes must not be hung
on fence rail or tied to the limb of
of tree. They must be placed by
the roadside in such a manner that
the carrier can have easy access to
them without dismounting. The same
box must not be used by more than
one family, nor will the government
overlook attempts to use the boxes
for any other purpose than that of
holding the mails.
These boxes must not be used as de-
positories of peach stones and apple
cores. The propensity of thoughtless
young people who gather along the
country roadsides to fill them with
new-mown hay will be discouraged,
and carriers are expected to report to
their immediate superiorS whenever
they find the slots filled with pussy
willows or johnny-jump-upS.
1t is believed also to be for the good
of the service that young people re-
turning from candy-pulls on winter
nights shall mot smear the padlocks
with taffy.
Persons refusing to comply with
these conditions will be regarded as
not deserving to participate in the
benefits of the service; they will be
deprived OF their DOXeS, ana Tor per-
iod of one year or more after each in
fraction they will be compelled to go
the poStoffice for their weekly news
paper and get-rich-quick circulars.
The farmer, on the other hand, who
ties vigilant dog near his mail box,
first having introduced him properly
to the carrier. or who watches over
the depositing of his mail with shot
gun, and otherwise exhibits an inter-
est in the welfare of the service, will
be afforded all the postal facilities he
may require, without charge, and may
confidently look for the prompt ar
rival of bulletins from LaSalle street
telling him exactly how to scalp the
market successfully Ocean.

The lishtnIng's Freak.

Lightning cut queer caper recent
" on the farm where Albert Peed
lives. The bolt struck wire fence
for some distance jumped off and hit
stump. In the ground where it
struck, Mr.. Peed found a large COM
pact chunk of metal which glistened
in the sun like like ore. Some of the
wire was gone from the fence, and it
was discovered that the chunk of
metal was the missing wire which had
been melted and forged into this
shape by the lightning and deposited
in the ground near the stump. Mr..
Peed brought chunk of the metal to
town and it is now in the possession
of Charlie Granger.-Walkerton In

Peaceful Adjustment.

Strikes are sometimes necessary to
compel la recognition of grievances,
but they should never be resorted to
except when employers absolutely re-
use to compromise or treat with en-
ployes, says the Elkhart Truth. The
result OF the recent Chicago railroad
strike is proof of the logic of this as
sertion. Nothing was gained by the
strike and if the freight handlers sue
coed in being restored to their former
positions they may consider them
selves lucky.
Compulsory arbitration is the only
available remedy for labor grievances.
Many labor leaders oppose this meth
cd of adjusting labor troubles, but it
is fully as sensible and practicable as
the settlement of other differences in
courts of law. When the two sides of
a labor trouble cannot agree their diff
ferences of opinion should be taken
into a regularly constituted tribunal
where the cause can be heard and a
verdict rendered which shall be final.
The proper ending of labor troub-
lie is more essential to public welfare
than the settlement in court of prop
erty disputes. The one frequently in
wolves the prosperity of a community
while the other is simply a question
OF individuals. When organized labor
exerts its influence toward the perma-
nent establishment Of courts for the
adjustment of labor troubles we shall
begin to see the end Of labor conflicts.

Facts and Figures About Corn.

A recent issue of the New York
Times contained interesting facts re-
garding the export of corn and the
prices showing that the price influences
the volume of export. In 1890 the ex-
port reached 1O3, AIS, 100 bushels, or
2.S5 per cent. of a large crop, at AZ
cents bushel-the price in New
York. The next year the export was
only 80, AL, 529 bushels, or 2.15 per
cent, of light crop, at 81 cents a
bushel. The export did not reach
nine figures again until 1896, when it
was 191, 10O,375 bushels, and the price
was SO cents. The next year the ex-
port was 17S, SHAT bushels at 81
cents. The export in 1898 rose to
to 212.055, SAB bushels, the price being
36 cents. The largest export was in
1900-2l3, 1913, ALP bushels, or 10 per
cen of the entire crop, the price being
Al cents. The export for the fiscal
year whrch ended with June was only
27,000, 900 bushels at 81 cents. 1t is
interesting to note the ups and downs
in the price of corn. In 1897 the price
in New York was 81 cents, while dur
ing the last fiscal year the price was
81 cents. Certain to have wide fiucu-
ations, the wonder is that larger guam
titles are not stored during years of
low prices to sell in high-priced sea-
sons at double the money.

Praying for a Saloon Keeper.

prayer to the moral and spiritual con-

drinking resorts. No one can predict
what the effect may be in the course

not exactly what the devoted women
were looking for. The advertising
which the saloon keeper thus far has
gained has been SO widespread that it
is said to have increased his business

been SO marked that it has seriously
affected the property of other liquor
dealers in this vicinity. and they are
circulating the report that the saloon
keeper is the real author and inspirer

liquor business by the end of the year.
