Russian Government REORGANIZATION

nuSsian government reorganization.
Philadelphia Public Ledger: The
fundamental laws of the Russian insti-
tuition, for the most part promulgated
by Peter the Great, have remained un-
changed; but, paradoxical as it may
seem, the of carrying out these
laws and their subsequent amendments
varies according to the constantly
growing demands of the empire. A
very few years ago the department of
agriculture and state domains was in
augurated; later came the establish
ment of the department of public
works and railways; at the present
moment the Ear is said to be contem-
plating an extension of the functions Of
the committee of ministers, the pres
ldency Of which was recently assumed
by NJ. De WHITE, while it is well known
that the ministry of the interior has
had its powers vastly increased. The
appointment of a viceroy of the far east
marked another change; the separa-
ton of the Asiatic and European poll
cies another.
While no actual facts are yet known
as to the change which is to be made
in the committee of ministers, it may
be announced IN the highest authority
that the administrative department Of
Russian posts and telegraphs, which
has hitherto been a mere bureau of
the war and interior departments, will,
in the present. month, be regularly
transformed into a constituted minis
try.

results are obtained in this case without
an examination of the SOL, but the two
! reasons for failure most in evidence the
I country through are acid soils and soils
which lack the bacteria necessary TO sue
coed with crimson clover. The remedy
for the sour soil is lime, which every
farmer knows how to apply. The remedy
for the bacteria Is incubation of the soil
which may he readily done by .lking soil
from n field where clover has been grown
successfully and scattering it lightly over
the field which lacks the bacteria. A few
bushels Of such soil sown broadcast will
cover an acre ard, If the soil Is not sour,
there viii likely be no trouble in growing
clover on it, The same thing also APP
plies to COW peas and soy beans, though
not to such an extent as to clover. A
cheap way to try this plan of incubation
is To write to the department OF agricul-
ture at Washington and ask for some
bacteria specifying whether II Is wanted
for peas, clover, beans or yetches. This
bacteria IS dried and a small ]ouantitv is
usually dissolved in water and the water
~sprinkled over a lot of soil which is then
spread on the fields. AS there Is no

iah's Establishments this address %effectu-
ally turned them from all such thoughts.
The preacher who has trouble in his
church, the Sunday schoo worker who
finds jealousies among those whom he
has been called to lead, the family that
finds itself given to petty chickering's, can
do no better than to adopt David's rem
edy. Find a new, great work, and e1npha-
size that. Create enthusiasm for some
fresh common interest. Keep minds and
hands so busy in noble service that there
is no tine or inclination left for idle
quarreling. When the people have a
mind to work they have nc mind to
Sqlabble.
A PLATFORM FOR A NEW KING.
The charge of the old king to the son
who was to succeed him was a condensa-
ton of the wisdom learned by a long and
crowded life. The substance of it was
that Solomon should cleave close to Je-
hovah and serve him Loyalty. David had
lived long enough to perceive that the
heart life is most Important: that peace
with God is more to be desired than all
other pleasures and glory. In common
with the wise and great of all ages, he
perceived that a mans religion means
more to him than anything else, and that
1t is a treasure to be sought and kept
though all else be lost.
One specific point the father empha-
sized in this address to the son about to
ascend his throne: BE strong" Strength
succeeds; courage %conquers; fearlessness
finds. Weak men, however, good their
intentions, cannot know the happiness or
accomplish the service possible to the,
strong. Because David was a strong man
he had seen all his Anniversaries defeated
and had come to the end of his life in the
greatest honor known to his nations his
tory.

City Marshal Lincoln Resians.

AS stated in THE DISPATCH
some time ago. City Marshal
Lincoln rendered his resignation
as City Marshal at the last meet
ing of the Council and action on
it was deferred to the January
meeting of the Council. Mr.. Lin
coin has served in this respOn-
sible capacity for a long time
and his services at all times have
been universally satisfactory.
He retires to accept the position
of Deputy Chancery Clerk under
Mr.. D. ID. Richards, who will as
sumo that Office on January 1st.
The resignation of the City
Marshal and the Chief of the
Fire Department presents a
problem for the city administra-
ton to solve and they are study
ing it carefully with the view OF
determining it for the best inter
ests of the city. TO solve the
Fire Department dilemm it will,
in all probability, be necessary
to employ chief to put in charge
of the department. and it has
been suggested that the clerical
work in the marshal's Office and

the Office of the Superintendent
of Water and Sewerage could be
combined, thus saving the lat
ter's salary, which would enable
the city to employ a paid chief.
Some of the members of the
Council take kindly to this sug-
gestion, it is understood, but
there are others who favor con-
tinuing the present regime.
Some definite action will be taken
at the January meeting and the
vacant Offices will be filled.

TheFourth Assistant POstmas
ter, in his report to Congress
has recommended that the pay
of free rural carriers be increas-
ed to $3.50 per year. Congress
should, by all means, grant the
increase. The character of the
work the rural carrier is called
upon to do, its responsibility, its
hardships, its cost entitle him
to good remuneration. Another
reason why Congress should
deal literally with the carriers
is because the farmer is the
beneficiary of the free rural
movement and this class Of our
citizenship receive little enough
from the Federal government.
When the matter is up for con-
sideratiOn our able and energet-
ic representative will be found
doing his share towards enact
ing the recommendation into law.
