clal life, and saving an immense
amount Of time and effort. A
marked tendency of the age is to
bring the country into closer
touch with the centres of popula.
ton. Electric roads are multiply
ing and make their way into neigh.
borhoods that could not hope for
steam lines. Rural free delivery OF
the mails is moving onward with
great strides. Over 10000 routes
are in operation. South Carolina
alone has 333. Farmers get their
letters and the daily news delivered
almost at their doors. Each DAYS
event reach the country promptly
and the old rural isolation is dis.
appearing. Means of ready travel
grow better and keep on extend~
ing, and the good roads organiza.
tions gain constantly in active sup.
pert.
Within a dozen years Electric
transit in the cities has more than
doubled the area suitable for town
residences. Cities themselves are
spreading farther into the country,
of which suburban sections are a
pleasing modification. Labor on
the farm has been rendered easier
by ingenious machinery. All whose
memories stretch back to pioneer
days can bear witness to the enor-
nous advance toward bringing
country and city together. Prog
ress in that respect proceeds at an
accelerated pace. Going to the
city or taking a run into the coun.
try is a commonplace incident.
How far the space between will
eventually be annihilated is be-
yond the range of conjecture, but
the old lines of separation are dis.
appearing in SO many ways that
the future relations of country and
city are full OF hopeful interest.
Thore is reflex side to the drift
of population to the cities. Love
of country life is natural and

who comes to the city as q youth to
make his fortune often returns to
the country when he retires, and
dreams Of dong it all through his
busy career. He would hardly be
willing to admit the deep tender.

moteness Of that quiet nook has
passed away. You can "ring up"
the farmer of today and find that
he is abreast with the current
news and that he has it printed in

delivery carrier. Americans are
the best farmers in the world, have
the best appliances for their busi-

them came into transient, and few into
permanent, relations with me- Chief of
them all, the personality craven deepest
on my recollection is that of Alexander
Hamilton. He was then in the meridian
of his young manhood, Intellectually as
well as phS scally and was not only a
model of manly beauty but distinguished
by a refinement of thought and bearing
which made him easily the most attrac-
tive man in the social life of his day.
His marvellous genius for finance had
just completed the miracle which Mr..
Webster afterward happily described
when he said: Hamilton touched the
dead corpse of the national credit, and
it sprang to its feet Washington be-
tray ed tenderness of manner with
Hamilton almost paternal. He loved and
trusted the young fellow who had stood
so Loyalty by him on many hard fought
fields, and had given him so many proofs
of his fidelity, insight and genius; and
that one of the strong desires of his life
was to see Hamilton at some future time
President of the United States he made
no effort to disguise. Years afterward
when Hamilton was struck down by the
hand of Aaron Burr, the whole land was
oppressed with a sense of personal be-
reavement, and | was but one Of thou
sands who wept over his untimely fate"

The Paris correspondent of the Lon

lutely no truth in the report spread
broadcasat i'll England and the United
States that negoua ions are III progress
among the powers regarding the requst
OF Russia that her Black sea fleet be
permitted 10 pass through the Darda-
nelles. The corresp Oudent declares
tina the distuI bance of international
equilibrium which might and proba bly,
would follow any such action of Rus
STA could hardly be a matter of indiff-
erence TO the other powers besides Eng
land. There is nothing substantial in
the report thar the idea has been seri-
ously entertained IN st. Petersburg of
making the request
IL is also true that there is not
particle of evidence to Justify the sup
position that the sympathy generously
display ed throughout France for Rus
STA has in any way af1 ected the anglo
French entente cordiale. The relations
between the two countries are declared
to be as satisfactory rs before the out
break of war In fact. the hope is gen.
orally expressed in all quirters that
there should he no interruption of the
present conditions. The panic on the
bourse has only served TO fortify the
desire for peace, for France realizes
what national calamity war would
be.
The Berlin correspondent of the
Times states that the Cologne Gazette
declares that negotiations now are in
progress between Norway, Sweden
and Denmark looking to the prepara-
ton of program for joint action
should the war between Russia and
Japan extend to European waters. AM
understanding is held to be desirable
in order that the coasts Of the three
nations may be protected adequately.

GEORGE WASHINGTON.
His Farewell Address to His Country
men Had an Interesting History.

His Farewell Address to His Country
men Had nm Interesting History.
George Washington's farewell address
to his countrymen, which ranks among
the three or four greatest of American
state papers, has an interesting history.
After the death of Hamilton two copies
of the address in Hamilton's handwriting
were found among his papers. This at
once gave rise to the surmise that Ham
ilton was the author of it, and a great
controversy arose. 1t was known, of
course. that when Hamilton was in the
cabinet he prepared and wrote out many
of Washington's communications and
speeches to Congress, but after his retire
ment 1t was not supposed that he did
more than occasionally advise with the
President on certain public questions.
John Jay took part in the controversy
and undertook to prove that Hamilton
was not the author of the address, stat
ing that the original address had been
written by Washington and then submit
ted to himself and Hamilton for sug-
gestions and amendments. For a num-
Der of years the authorship was left in
doubt, but the facts, as time has devel-
oped them, seem TO be these: AZ the close
OF his first term Washington contemplate
ed retirement, and in May, 1902, address
ed q letter to Madison stating that he
intended 20 retire from public life; that
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1904-02-27

he wished TO maze a farewell declaration
10 the country. and asked Madison to pre-
pare for him an address or a ieller Of
that description. Madison prepared the
paper, consulting Jefferson about it, but
they, with others, finally prevailed upon
Washington to accept another term. so
the Madison paper was not used At
the close Of his second term Washing
ton retired, and preparatory to that sent
the Madison paper, with additional mat
ter OF his own, to Hamilton, with the
request that the latter redress it.
These formed the main theme and idea
Of the paper. Adhering to these lines,
hamilton rewrote the paper. He then
took Washington's draft and the Madison
paper and consulted Jay, with the result
that a third paper was drawn, merely
suggesting changes aud amendments in
Waskington's original draft All these
papers were then forwarded to Wash
ington, who after comparing and study
ing them, deci1ed that he preferred Ham,
ilton's first or original draft. This he
returned to the writer, wishing one or
two paragraphs on education to be add
ed, and it was carefully revised by Ham
ilton. When Washington received this
back he made a copy of it, and this was
the farewell address as given to the
world. The accepted conclusion now is
that the thoughts and ideas are Wash
ington's, but that the language, the liter
airy form and the method of statement
are Hamilton's.

A RUSSIAN SOLDIERS PAY.
1t Takes Him Some Time to Get Rich
According To a Enrrnar- Sn1h;or

1t Takes Him Some Time to Get Rich
According to "a Former Soldier.
The following interview, given TO
Portland paper by Martin Markeson,
formerly an officer in the Russian army
and we'll known in Spok ape, lis of inter-
est in view of the present state of hos
tllities between Japan and Russia.
In the Russian army" Mr.. Marke-
son is quoted as saying, "a private
draws but so cents quarter, corpo-
raj $1.10, a sergeant 81 so and first
sergeant about $50 year, and out of
this money the men must keep their
shoes polished and their clothes neat.
The rations consist of two meals
day. The men are allowed three
pounds of black rye bread a day and
one half pound of meat and one quart
OF soup. In the evening all they get is
mush. The bread is issued for five
or ten days ahead, and if the soldier
has any left he takes it into the market
and sells it.
"The only hope that the soldier has
of increasing his income is by working
for the land barons during the harvest
time, when they are often detailed by
the government to do this work. For
this srevice they are allowed about 30
cents a day.
In Russia the mines are owned by
the government, and the barons have
monopoly on the land. A farmer
there considers himself very fortunate
II he is the owner of from one 10 ten
acres The poor farmers, both men
and women, work from daylight until
dark for from about % to SO cents
day. and the farm hand who does not
own any land is very fortunte If no
gets share of the crops and a small
amount of cash.
The hatred of the Russians for the
Jews arises form the fact that they are
jealous of the prosperity of the latter
race"
Mr.. Markeson was formerly resi-
dent OF Spokane, but has recently been
living in Portland. 1t is stated hen
soon to leave for Wisconsin TO look 81
ter some property there.
