SCRIPTION RATES.
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY A, 1905.

When the agricultural bill reached the house the unconstitutonality of the Hansbrough amendment was i'm
 mediately perceived and without bring ing the bill up for consideration reso- lution was proposed respectfully call ing the attention of the senate to its violation of the prerogative of the house. When this resolution reached the senate its equity was immediately
 appreciated and Senator Hansbrough himself moved to strike from the bin the offending amendment. This done, the bill was again passed and returned to the house, all of which goes to show that the best constitutional law. yers may differ regarding the exact meaning of the constitution and that the best intentioned may unwittingly violate even the clearest provisions of that venerable embodiment known as the constitution of the United States.

Within forty years we have seen three presidents killed from just such as animated the murder of the grand duke, says an exchange. The third of them was shot by man of exactly the same ''red" party as con- mitted this murder in Moscow, and as killed Alexander II in St Petersburg. Our country was filled with horror and detestation of that party and its prin ciples when President Mckinley fell under the shot fired by an Hungarian anarchist. Have we lost that horror because this is Russian grand duke and not ap American president? MT Lowell satirized the American slave, holder who believed in the cause of freedom 'as far away as Paris is" but not in its being conferred on hu- man beings at his own door. Are we come to believe in order with the same limitations? One might suppose We were, from the comments in some of our newspapers. But these do not rep resent the convictions of the American people. Let congress give expression to our feelings In this case, as in that of the murdered mans father, by con
 veying to the emperor our sympathy
 with him and his family in the sorrow
 which has fallen upon them.

The Brides
 Roses -
By EMMA GARRISON JONES

r HIS grand and ancient temple,
 which was built in the far-gone days of the old British regime, stands amid the low-lying hills that encircle the swift-flowing Rappahannock, with the dim spires of fredericksburg shin ing in the distance, and the everlast- ing pines, for which Virginia is so noted, standing in thick files on either hand.
 Centuries upon centuries have ex- pended their storms upon the massive walls, and yet they stand, mute yet most eloquent monuments of the strength and durability of old-time architecture.
 One caa even yet discover some traces of the old altar stones and the tablets whereon the names of the dead and gone vestrymen are recorded; and the pew, once occupied by Washington and his relatives, is still reverently pointed out to every sight-seer who turns out of the beaten .noroughfare of travel to have a look at this sacred and venerable pile.
 But the brides rose, have you seen that?" questioned our guide, as we were making our way out over the crum- bling heaps of motar.
 "The brides rose? Why, no. what is it?"
 Our guide was woman, gray and gaunt old creature, who lives in little hut near at hand, and earns an honest penny now and then by showing trav- elers over the ruins of old Potomac church.
 She turned back on the instant shak- ing her gray head slowly from side to side.
 "Ah, you must see the brides rose," she said; "come along!"
 We followed her back. over heaps of debris, under the crumbling arches, of

ous question Is the dispute as to the duty which ought to be assessed on certain half pearls from Japan. which the importers claim to be natural pearls. and therefore dutiable at only 10 per cent. but which the treasury department declares are artificial and therefore dutiable at the rate of 20 per cent. The pearls are made as follows: The Jap, who, by the way, must be a patient fellow and willing to wait long time for the wages of his labor, selects his oyster and bores a little hole in the shell. In this hole he fits minute plug of mother of pearl with the end projecting little into the shell. The end of the plug acts as an irritant and the oyster does the rest. He secretes fluid, which is deposited in layers around the obstruction. and which in the course of two to three years forms a perfect half pearl The patient Jap then fishes up his oyster again, pries the shell open and saws off the pearl. If the courts declare that this pearl is a manufactured article the oyster must clearly be the factory hand.

Kansas has determined that within her borders the Standard Oil shall no longer have clear field In which to practice the methods by which 1t has succeeded in placing in it's coffcrs un- told millions, says a New York paper Two measures have been adopted by both houses of the state legislature which will restore the healthy compe- tition that was destroyed by excessive railroad rates. The first provides for Il state refinery to be erected Tn the heart of the oil region; the second Is q bill providing for low maximum rate for the transportation of crude oil These are what may he designated as tentative measures. If they do not prove effective other and more drastic methods of curbing the huge monopoly that is crushing out all competition will be employed. The spirit that ami mates the citizens of Kansas may be seen from the following press dispatch: "The people of Kansas have never been more aroused by any contest since the civil war. They are practically unit in the determination to keep up this fight by every measure within the power of the state. It Is already pro- posed to hold q constitutional conven- ton and broaden the power of the leg. islature. in order to meet the industrial situation that is threatening the de. struction of all competition"

If the treasury department of the United States has it's way the oyster, which has never been looked upon as symbol of industry. will be officially classed as a factory hand. and to the ingenious Japanese will belong the credit of having put the oyster to work. says an exchange The united wisdom of the board of United States appraisers has decided that the oyster is not a manufacturer. but the depart ment is not satisfied. and is going to appeal to the learned judges of the United States courts to confirm its view that the oyster is 10 be classed among the worlds worxers- The oc- casion for the raising of this moment

A wEsTLAND sERENADE.

Come away, come away. away, From the prisoning walls of town And the structures that beetle and frown, To the reaches of plain and the wind and
 the rain, Where the glorious sun goes down. Come away, come away, away, Where the westering grasses grow And the boisterous breezes blow And the eadowiarks wing as they joy
 ously sing, :. And the herd boys are crying: "Oh. ho!' Come away, come away, away, Where the cranes and the curlews fly And the wolves and the coyotes cry And the garter snakes glide and the prairie
 dogs hide
 And the cattle go laundering by. Come away, come away. away, Where the red man in days long ago Went afar with his quiver and bow,s But the red man has fled and the sound of
 his tread
 The prairies may nevermore know. Come away, come away, away, Where the buffalo grayepiots lie And the sagebrush is dusty and dry. Where the fireweed burns and the compass
 plant turns
 And the world is floor and sky. Chicago Chronicle.

The idea that free seed distribution

The idea that free seed distribution by the government is approved by the farmers of the country may need to be modified. Senator Platt of Connecti- cut. in presenting to the United States senate an anti-free seed resolution passed by the Lynn grange of Ham, burg, remarked: T think the resoln ton represents pretty fairly the sentt ment among the agriculturists in Con- necticut in opposition to the present governmental distribution of seeds" If Connecticut farmers are in opposi- ton, why should farmers anywhere else favor the system? Can it be true that only the congressman themselves want the seed folly kept up? asks the Springfield Republican.

 The old woman stopped down and parted the rank, luxurious growth that covered the ruins at our feet.

 We stopped down, and. looking close ly, saw amid the rank grass a great cluster of scarlet roses. The shrub upon which they bloomed seemed to be small and stunted in it's growth, but the flowers were a marvel of perfect loveliness. so large. so fine. so delicate in tint and texture. more like the cul- tivated bloom of hot-house than the wild growth of the fields.

It has become an axiom in the com mercial world that in the long run those transactions most promote pros- perity which are advantageous alike to buyer and seller. says writer ill the Engineering Magazine. It is con- ing to be realized in the industrial world that the same thing is true re- garding the arrangements between employers and employees, and that no arrangement is permanent that is not regarded as being beneficial to both. In other words. the only healthy indus trial condition is that in which the employer has the best men obtainable for his work. and the workman feels that his labor is being sold at the highest market price. The employer who insists on more service than he pays for, and the employe who de- mands excessive wages for his work, both lose in the long run. The former worries continually about how to manage dissatisfied workmen who are continually on the verge of a strike, and in dull times the latter lives in constant dread that his employer may no longer be able to continue business and he may be out of work. The i'm portant thing for the average work man is not that he shall have excep- tionally high wages during times of great prosperity, but that he shall have continuous employment and fair wages at all times.
