PostOffice affairs continue to occupy
a good share of the attention Of con-
gress, and nearly every day there is an
outburst of indignation in the House.
The Mccall committee Of investigation
is busy at work trying to get exact
information. The much abused fourth
assistant postmaster general, Bristow,
has appeared before the committee,
and astonished it by saying there is a
library full Of correspondence from
congressman preserved in the depart
ment. This can be inspected conf
dentialiy. The famous report was
prepared by inspectors at the instance
Of the postmaster general.-In the
House the postOfice appropriation bill
is being closely scutinized, and it has
been decided 10 abolish in country
postofices such titles as cashier, 7"
''night superintendent, - 'ssuperinten-
dent of carriers, - and superintendent
Of inquiry" 4" and put all employees upon
an equal footing and with equal
salaries. Today the members Of the
House took an excursion 10 jamestown,
Va, to view the site Of the exhibition
which is to be held in 1907. This is
another "epOchn exhibition, and viii
probably require a small appropria-
ton. Members Of the House wish t.
know how the sl,O70,O00 for the OLD
Panama canal commission was ex
pended.

1t was after repeated conferences
with the President that the secretary
Of the interior and the commissioner Of
pensions arrived at a solution Of the
service-pension problem which has
given considerable anxiety to congress.
A liberal Interpretation Of the present
pension laws was determined upon and
an old age pension agreed to. This
will take less than ten millions Of
dollars out of the treasury annually,
and win satisfy the promoters Of the
new scheme. Claimants over 81 years
Of age viii be rated as disabled one
half. AS this result pleases all con-
cerned, there will be no new pension
legislation at this session Of congress. -
Senator Dietrich of Nebraska will be
exonerated of all the charges brought
against him and the President will
remove Atty. Gen. Summers Of that
state.-The President has ordered a
further inquiry into the New York
postoffice. The number Of republican
delegates now instructed for President
Roosevelt amounts to 1873, uninsructed
%.

The new department Of commerce
and labor, under Secretary Cortelyou,
is fast out-stripping some Of the older

The department has undertaken to
solve the labor, commercial, marine,

TO PLANT AND PROTECT TO-
MATOES.

To the Editor:-I note the remedy
of Mr.. Hildrup for the cut-worm in
planting tomatoes ana cabbage plants,
and for the benefit of your readers
give another remedy which is a per-
feet preventative if properly follow
ed: Wrap the stalk of each plant
with about three thicknesSes of d
thin paper, so that the paper will ex-
tend below the surface of the earth
half an inch and above the surface
three inches. The proper way 20 set
out plants is ID make u round hole
in the hill about two inches IN cir
cumference and foru inches deem, in
sert the root into the hole with the
paper held around the plant Hou
the plant in position in the hcIe the
depth you wish it to stand, and pour
a half pint of water so that it will
strike the cd,gn5 of he hole, which
will float out the roots in their proper
position, and place dirt between then.
Leave room enough to fill the hole
with dry earth to prevent Sun-bakiHg.
This will take a little longer TO
plant them, but as the cut-WormS
comes out of the earth and craWlS
along the surface until his proboscis
comes in contact with some vegetable
matter Tor his neal he does not dis
cover the plant, as it is protected by
paper. He never climbs for his food
Plants can be set out in this manner
in extremely dry weather. Care must
be taken not to cover the roots with
paper. The height Of the paOer
above the ground makes no differ
ence if the bud is not interfered with
If care is taken none will be cut
down by cut-wor;ns.

handsome stores. One to be occupied
by Mr.. II. w. Bell, will be a modern

Farmers and Labor Problem.
VIII our farmers quietly submit to
the dictation of negroes, as the best
