Glacier Climbing Rates.

When renewing your subscription to
the Glacier it might be well to remem-
ber that we give clubbing rates to some
excellent Eastern papers. The Inter
Ocean, that sterling republican paper
and all-round newspaper, can be secured
for 40 cents through clubbing with the
Glacier. The Inter Ocean has a page Of
up-to-date farm and horticultural news.
The Twice Week Republic, demo-
cratic paper, can be had for 80 cents
added to the price of the Glacier. The
Republic is great newspaper, and like
the Inter Ocean, its news columns are
reliable and impartial, without regard to
politics. One issue of the week of the
Republic gives supplement devoted to
farm and horticultural news that is well
worth the price of the paper.
The Toledo Blades thoroughly repub.
lican paper, but weekly made up for
the family more than for the politician,
can be had through the Glacier for SO
cents year.

Rural Free Delivery Here to Stay.

Whether wise and economical or not,
rural free delivery has come to stay and
will eventually cover the whole country,
says the Washington correspondent OF
the New York Evening Post Fifteen
thousand routes were in operation on
June 80, and applications before the de-
partment for twelve thousand more
were then pending. Extensive addi-
lions have been made to this list in the
last five months. Representative Sper--
ry Of Connecticut, who became post
master Of New Haven in 1851, relates
that when, toward the close Of the civil
war, the first free carrier was put on in
that city, one of the substantial citi
zrns came to him, asking almost in in
dignation, If anybody was foolish enough
to want the government to send man
around to peoples houses with mail
when it could not get men enough to
defend its life on the battlefield. This
man was among many who thought let
ter carriers a useless luxury in such a
ciiy as New Haven; but today he would
lind no sympathizers. The rural free
delivery, although generation later in
coming, is exactly as secure. For the
year beginning next July, it will cost
the government, according to present
estimates, $47 900, 900 for all the home
delivery of mails, or as much as the en-
tire postal establishment cost in 1884.
And all kinds II letter carriers want
more pay.
! The cumbers0meness of business man
agement by the government shows Itself

| pensation. Uncle Sam obviously canno-
hire rural carriers at prices varying acs
cording to the prevailing scale of wages
in the different parts of the country, at
would private employer. The result
is that he must pay salaries everywhere
as high as are necessary to sustain the
service at its most expensive point. The
present compensation of 5000 year for
rural carriers, although double that
which it was estimated would be neces-
sary when the service was esta blished,
has proved so inadequate in certain
places that Mr.. Brstow thinks congress
should raise it to $3.50 for the twenty
five-mie routes. Even there uniform
ity is clumsy. Twenty-Five miles across
mountainous country would wear out
horses more than twice as fast as that
distance on the level cornfeld lands Of
Indiana. The contract system would
adjust the inequalities, but congres.
would never consider that Its advocates
were badly beaten out in its last at
tempt, and the argument is not wholly
with them. There are other considera-
tions beside economy.
Few more potent agencies of DOstal
transformation have ever been set on
foot than rural delivery 1t ought to be
kept out of politics. The trouble in do
ing that comes from the overpayment
which uniformity enjoins in certain
quarters. As long as any class of Uncle
Sans servants are paid more than their
unlocking neighbors can earn, these on
lockers will demand rotation. At least,
that has been the American experience
thus far.

not be given up. Mr.. Bristow, thesuper-
intendent OF this department, recon-
lnsends that the carriers be forbidden to
do business for their patrons, just as
city carriers are forbidden. But this
lcannot be enforced. Little express jobs
they will be sure to do. to the great con-
vrnience Of their patrons. Thus, news
papers want the carriers to take sub
scriptions; and we do not see why
they should not even be required to do
so when desired, just as it is done in
postal departments abroad. The ma
ehnery would be as simple at least as
our money order business. We know
that many people who want to renew a
subscription neglect to do it because it
is so unconvenient to go to post office
for a postal order or to bank for 8
check. But this is in the line of the
next great advance in our postal bust
ness, which will provide parcels post
to the benefit OF everybody except the
express companies, which will always
oppose il.

The present pay Of rural carriers may

there is every evidence that on the Pa

Rural Mail Service in Peril.
Portland Oregonian.

The need of adequate pay for rural
mail carriers in the free delivery system
las been answered by the argument
that the present pay seems sufficient to
secure plenty of carriers, and a para
graph in these columns the other day
carried partial endorsement of this
objection. In so far as our utterance
seemed to oppose the application of the
carriers for increased pay we wish to
disavow it entirely. An investigation
OF the subject has shown us that the
facts are wholly otherwise and that the
evidence on which the view adverse to
the carriers was commended was erro-
neus. The truth appears that the car
riers are under paid to the extent that
the service is badly crippled and in dan
ger of collapse.
Inquiry develops the knowledge that
5000 year is not sufficient salary to
make the free delivery service attractive
to desirable and efficient men. The car
riers first appointed have been resigning

NOTES OF THE BIG SHOW.

Ordinarily the duties of the state
fair postmistress are not onerous,
though the mail that is received and
sent keeps her and her assistant busy
all day, but when a special delivery
letter is sent to a man with name
as common as Jones, Mrs. Lawrence's
forehead is apt to be puckered into a.
frown. Such letter was received
yesterday and the only address waS
estate Fair Grounds" Much ques-
tioning brought to light the fact that
Mr.. Charles Jones, to whom the letter
was addressed, was employed in the
main building, and the letter finally
reached him. Those who desire to
write note find the shelves arranged
in the postoffice building a great con-
venience. These shelves are well sup
piled with paper, pens and ink.
A number of visitors to the state
fair this year have inquired for the
state industrial exhibits which were
part of the attraction of the main
building last year. Heretofore the
school for the feeble minded at Fart
bault, the state training school at Red
Wing and the state reformatory have
sent interesting exhibits. This year,
however, the board of. control decided,
for economy's sake, not to send the
exhibits, so this feature is missing.
The floral center piece by a st. Paul
florist attracts much attention in the
main building. 1t is composed entirely
of shurbs and palms and is a restful
bit of color in the big building.
The model sick room at the club
house has already housed a number of
patients. Two trained nurses from the
Swedish hospital in Minneapolis are in
attendance and also a doctor The
cases so far have not been important
Yesterday morning Miss Selma Oren,
a young Swedish girl living in Mime
apolis, dislocated her ankle by jump
ing from a merry go-round. She was
attended by DR.. Miller and later in the
day was sent to her home in Minneap-
oils. Already twenty-one cases have
been received in the sick room, which
is really an emergency hospital, the
only one of its kind on the grounds.

TO be drawn by one attraction or an
other. The broad walks were not suffi-
clent to accommodate the streams of
sightseers, so they overlooked onto the
driveways and over the grass.
From building to building they went,
curious, wondering, admiring, gazing
until one of the tired women was heard
to remark: Il can't look any more
I'm too tired!"
Then there were the sideshows, the
cane racks, the popcorn booths and the
"red-hot" stands. They bought pea
nuts and crackerjack for the little ones
and other refreshments for themselves.
OF course they were tired when night
came, but many of them did not think
of going home. Thousands either pur-
chased lunch on the grounds or ate
lunch they had brought with them and
remained for the evening attractions
> Other thousands who had not been
able to attend in the afternoon swelled
the throngs in the evening, and the
great grandstand was packed to wit
ness the many features on the pro-
gramme, including the running races
by electric light, the electric ballet,
Schreyer's wonderful leap. and finally,
the glorious spectacle afforded by the
burning of Rome and the accompany
ing brilliant display of gorgeous fire
works.
1t was wonderful success, this day
devoted to Minneapolis, and keeps up
the unparalleled record which the
present fair has made to date.

COUNTERFEITERS AND
THIEVES GET BUSY

CounterfeiterS are working at the
fair, and already the police have re-
ceived number of complaints from
those who have been victimized.
The facts have been kept quiet until
now In the hope that the officers might
detect and arrest those who were doing
the work, but so far as reported no.
substantial progress has been made in
that direction. 1t is now said that a.
government secret service agent has
taken the case in hand, and develop
ments are promised very soon.
Silver dollars and half-dollars are
the coins which are being passed, and
different methods are adopted in diff
ferent5 cases. For example, a. portion
of the gang appears to be following
that simple eXpedient of making small
purchases and rendering one of the
bad coins in payment, receiving good
coin in change.
The other plan consists in giving out
some of the bad coin with the other
change in changing large bills.
There have been the usual number
pocketpicking, etc. Most of these
have been merely attempts, however,
and as fast as persons have been
found sacting in a suspicious manner
about the fair grounds they have been
escorted outside the grounds and

The victim was so eager to get in

other funds he had with him, and
hustled the wife and baby through the
