Free Delivery to Become General

In the information that comes from
Washington is to relied upon, and there
is no reason to believe to the contrary
the ruralist everywhere had as well get
ready and welcome the free rural delivery

department look forward now to the ex-
tension OF rural free delivery through
out the United States, says the Lexing.
ton Democrat. They have made their
estimates as to what it will cost to de
liver letters on every American farm or
plantation in the sparsely settled and
thickly settled parts Of the country. The
cost will not be trifling. To deliver
every rural American his mail will take
about S24 100000 a year. Should the
present service be extended at the rate
Of IL 900 routes year until the 100000
square miles Of territory yet to be cover
ed have been taken care OF, there will
for several years be an annual deficit in
postal revenues Of from 80, 100000. The
deficit will, it is asserted disappear grad
ually as the revenues increase 10y reason
Of the improved postal facilities. Not
many years ago rural free delivery was a
questionable sort OF an experiment The
farmers for whose benefit it was intend
ed, did not in all quarters take kindly to
it, But they appreciate fully now the

FEAR AMERICAN IDEAS.
Emperor William Criticised for Asso.
ciatins With Untitled Business

Berlin, April 25-Emperor William
is bitterly criticised In aristocratlc
drawing rooms because untitled busi-
ness men constituted the majority of
his guests during his recent excursion
lin the North sea on the North German
Lloyd steamer Kronprin= Wilhelm. So
significant is the emperor's gracious
ness toward these men regarded by the
old aristocracy that newspapers all
over Germany with aristocratic lean
ings have, during the iast two days.
begun a regular editorial campaign
against the new policy introduced into
court life. While the German nobility
have long noted with apprehension his
lnajesty's liking for the company OF the
men who are making Industrial anu
commercial Germany, h $ public enter
tsinnlent of so many business men is
accepted as a deliberate recognition OF
that class at court.
The Leipsiger Neueste Nachrichten
of Bismarckian traditions describes
Emperor Williams guests on the kron-
rrinz Wilhelm as follows:
.They were not the heads of con-
seryative noble families; not repre-
sentatives of real German citizenship
not men who can be characterized as
guardians of the spark OF national
idealism, but BleichroeGer. Balm and
Loewe. Herein lies q certain danger
for the representatives of the old Prus-
sian traditions, who have been stand
irg aside for years, who have been
treated as rebels, and who. when they
voted against the canal. heard many
sharply censuring words.
"The indications are that the tariff
bill will create still worse estrange-
ment. The conservative elements feel
themselves more and more forced to
the defensive, the upholders of the ira
Gitions of the past see that the sympa-
thy of the man who characterized him
self as the first nobleman of Prussia IS
disappearing
The Cologne Volks Zeitung says y
perceives that increasing the social po-
sition of men of great capital will bake
the American idea supreme in Ger
many. The paper defines this idea as
the giving of the greatest honors In the
state to the creators of the greatest
values and to the men who add mos.
TO the national wealth.
Emperor William. of course. has the
right to select his own company, con-
tinues the Cologne paper. The public
also has the right to draw it's own con-
clusions, and it Is justified in inferring
that his majesty, if surrounded contln-
ually by the princes of gold, will be In
Euenced by their ideas

Chicago, April 25.-A storm of de-
cided energy centered this morning
over the central Missouri valley. 1t is
causing rains and warmer weather
generally over the lower Missouri
central Mississippi valley and lake re-
gion. Heavy rains are reported in
central Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, Ne
braska and Minnesota, while showers
have fallen In portions of Kansas and
Wisconsin. The rains have effectually
disposed of the drouth where it ex-
listed and 1t Is generally believed the
wheat crop will be fully up to the
average. The timely rainfall nearly
precipitated a panic on the Chicago
board of trade at the opening today
May wheat started IL to 1B lower
around 73A. There was very heavy
liquidation, but after shorts had COW
cred at liberal profits, the market be-
came more quiet, steadying around
74A. Corn and oats followed wheat
sympathetically.

Lacey, which passed the house, provid-
ing for more strict regulations in mines
in the territories, is now in conference.
The bill passed the senate with the
clause relating to shot firing omitted.
The Lacey bill provided for shot f1rers
and an additional so per cent of air.
Major Lacey is not on the conference
committee but he expresses the fear
that the shot firing clause, which was
very important. will not likely go in.
However the senate is willing to grant
the additional air clause and to insert
provision for sprinkling of mines,
which will go long way toward COM
pensating for the loss of the shot-fir-
ing feature. The house conference,
however, have not given up that yet.
There is very strong intimation in
q certain quarter that the president will
not undertake to oppose the desires of
the Iowa senators and representatives
in the matter of the distribution of the
federal patronage in Iowa. There is no
telling now when the caucus will be
held as Capt. Rumple and Senator Alli-
son are absent. Congressman Conner
will go to Iowa in ten days or so and
1t is understood that Mr.. Haugen will
take a trip Iowaward in the interest of
his fences. The caucus may not be held
for month.
