Personal registration is demaned
by the Philadelphia Press. Itsays;
"Two successive Legislatures
having large Republican majorities
with practical unanimity approved
the constitutional amendment open
ing the way for the enactment of an
effective personal registration law.
When submitted to a popular vote
in November 1901, the amendment
was adopted by an overwhelming
majority. This action can be con-
strued only as a demand on the
part of the people for personal
registration law. If that had not
been desired there would have been
no purpose in the constitutional
amendments, and the majority for
the amendment must be accepted as
indicating the force of popular sem
timent on the subject"

Roosevelt and Senator Hansbrough i'll
establishing a system of federal irriga-
tion has given an impetus to every in
dustry in the western country.
The publicity amendment to the de-
partment of commerce bill promises to
be adopted at an early date and to con-
stitute the first anti trust legislation of
the session.
President Ro osevelt's rigid applica-
ton of the civil service law has resulted
in saving senator's and members of The
House from much unnecessary worry
and annoyance.
The republicans are in earnest about
passing the Elkin's bill which contains
the most important recommendation of
Attorney General Knox, and will get it
through if the Statehood senator's will
permit.
One democrat stands in the way of
the ratification of the Columbian, 18TH
mian canal, treaty. Senator Morgan
has threatened to talk it to death, not
withstanding the fact that no member
of his party agrees with him in his op-
position.
The most cordial relations exist be-
tween Sir Michael Herbert, the British
Ambassador, Baron Won Sternberg, the
German Ambassador, and President
Roosevelt, fact which gives promise
of close and friendly relations between
the three nations.
The republicans in Congress are
making every effort to pass adequate
antitrust legislation. In the House
they will be successful but if the demo-
Gratis cantinue to support the Statehood
deadlock all trust bills may fail there.
What connection, ifany, is there be-
tween the recent visit of Mr.. Bryan to
Mexico and that country's call for help
to prevent further drop i'll the price

Bryan's prophesies.

1t will he remembered that
upon the death of Lord Tenny-
son, the office Of Poet Laureate
was offered to William Morris,
the author of the Earthly Para
disc. :. Morris refused on princi-
pie. Believing that Art should
be free, he could not well accept
all office that might require him
TO congratulate the Queen upon
the birth of II grnndchild, for II
yearly stipend Of f1OO and II
butt of Canary Spanish wine.
His friends indeed never expected
him to add his name to the roll
of nonentities that have accept
ed the Office, for excepting Spen-

CANARIES IN LONDON.
Birds Sold at Four Times Their
Weight in Gold.

From London Mail
The recent sale in London of pair OF
canaries for f70 has directed public atten-
ton to the boom" now raging in these
diminutive pets. Since King Edward took
up the hobby of canary breeding prices
have been steadily rising. and In many in
stances birds have changed hands for four
times their weight in gold. G.
The most expensive variety are those with
crests. or topknots, of feathers. Perfect
crested canaries are very difficult to breed,
and they are subject to blindness, the crest
grows over the eyes and hides even the
f5 to f4O.
Norwich plainhead canaries are far more
popular, but do not realize such high
prices. At Huddersfield show recently a
young bird, in its first season, was sold by
auction for Els los. Messrs Mackley
Brothers of Norwich, whose last consign-
ment of canaries to New York numbered
5000. have sold several planheads at prices
ranging from Els to Eos apiece
Plainhead Norwich are bred almost exs
clusively for color properties, the most
highly colored specimen Invariably heading
the list. For the purpose of enhancing the
natural color large quantities of cayenne
and other peppers are imported from Spain
and given to the birds IN a preparation of
egg food. For f1rst-class Yorkshire cana
ries there Is strong demand, but prices
are not so remarkable the highest report
ed being EGO for a sprightly young yellow
exhibited at the recent Manchester show
