from his depaFtmenta Ies has aimed to mako the department an educatioual
 institution on all subjects, scientific and practical, that deal wtthSagriculture. !.
 During the last fiscal year this de partment issued 972 separate bulletins, a big increase over the year before, and they comprised nearly 22,00O printed pages. The total number of copies of all publications sent out during the year was 12.421, 1886. In i've years the publication work of this department has been doubled. In recent years the re- quests from educational institutions have greatly increased, with normal schools taking the lead.
 It has been the policy of Secretary Wilson to see that these educational institutions are supplied with all they want. It is pretty heavy draft upon the departments resources, as the demands for documents vary in number from 40 to 50 copies of some special class to as many as 5000 to 1000 requested by state superintend- ents for general distribution to teach CTS. The expenditure of money in this is regarded, however. as fully justified, as it advances the edu work of the department. There is every prospect that these re- quests for school supplies will greatly increase in the future. The burden upon the United States mail service is as great as is the expense of preparing and printing these documents, but that, too. is regarded as amply justi- fled.

row on the republican side adjoining the middle aisle. Since the death of President Mckinley, which put Theo- dore Roosevelt at the head of the gov ernment. MT. Frye has continuously presided over the senate as its presi- dent pro tenn. He will doubtless con- tinue to enjoy that honor and fill the presiding officers chair when Vice President Fairbanks is away, but the Indiana senator. as vice president, will wield the gavel by right of his office. It is regarded as fortunate that mem- Ter of the senate succeeds to the vice presidency.
 Mir. Frye will be welcomed back on the floor of the senate, where he long ago earned distinction as one of the strong debaters in that body. He has been at the head. of the senate con- mittee on commerce for many years. and on all measures that come from that committee he is an authority and his speeches are always informative and instructive. He has at his fingers tips all sorts of information on river and harbor improvements. as for many years he has virtually made those appropria- tion bills that pertain to this work. A few years ago while debating one of the provisions of . river and harbor bill the senate was startled by the fa- cility with which MT. Frye reeled ofY figures percentages and estimates in a seemingly bewildering tangle. Notic- ing the curious looks of his colleagues as he would recapituIate a column of figures running into the hundreds of millions. he smilingly explained that when boy at college his bete noir was mathematics

 on his own administration. That which has ended was largely an inheritance from the martyred Mckinley, and Pres ident Roosevelt has done his best to carry out his predecessors policy, and to redeem McKinley's promises.
 MT. Roosevelt has at his disposal 6,2O3 "plums," carrying salaries any where from $17,50O year to nothing. These are civil offices known as "presi- dential,' whose incumbents must be confirmed by the senate. They are places in the civil branch that are mo-, covered by the civil service. In addi- tion, of course. there are permanen> commissions in the army. navy and ju- dietary, but these do not count in the distribution of what are recognized as political positions. The most produc- tive part of the presidential plum or chard is that in the post office de- partment. There are 5.0S2 places at the disposal of the president, all but IA of them being postmasterships Of the first, second and third class. The fourth class postmasterships, which carry less than 1000 salary, are not distributed by the president
 In the state department there arc i've ambassadorships paying $17.50 per year each; two ambassadorships those at Vienna and Rome payin' 312.000. There are 30 ministers whc receive $12,O0O to $4.000 per annum then there are secretaryships of em bassies and legations paying from $1.500 to $2.625 each. The total mum Der of presidential appointments under the state department amounts to 1.169.

POTTSVILLE. Pa. March 7.-Ro- land c. Luther. second vice president of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company. died last night at his home here. Mir.

Jacob Burkett. of Nebraska. will be sworn in on the 4th of March as sen ator from that state as the successor of Senator Dietrich. Mr. Burkett was born December 1. 1867. This makes him about four years younger than MT. Bailey and about fve years younger than MT. Beveridge, of Indiana. who has been close second to Bailey for the distinction of being the most youth full mcslber of the senate.
 All three of these young men might pass for having fewer years than they can lay claim to. MT. Beveridge un- doubtedly is at the present time the most youthful looking man in the sen ate. He is of rather fair complexion, with dark brown hair, smooth face, and is boyish in his manner and in his feel ings. Although Mir. Bailey is year his junior. the Texan has dignified bear ing and thoughtful expression that adds, to his age, although his face is smooth and as red-cheeked as a boy of IS. His deliberate manner and thoughtful expression are those of man we'll on in middle life. He, how ever, was born on October 6. 1863. while MT. Beveridge was born on the same day in 1862.
 MT. Burkett would easily be taken for MT. Beveridge's senior. He has a rather heavy, dignifled appearance and is very formal in his address. He rep- resents the possibilities of the Amer ican boy and his biography shows that he has won his senatorial toga by merit and hard work. He was born on farm in Iowa and had the usual experience of western farmer lad with ambitions that looked beyond the cornfeld. He taught school in Nebraska and read law at the state university of that state. be- ing admitted to the bar in 1893. He was elected to the state legislature in 1896 and served three terms in congress.

 that his robe of office will fall upon the broad shoulders of Secretary of War Taft. There are eight associate justices of the supreme court who re- ceive $l2.5O0 per annum each. and 1t is not improbable that the president will have one or more of these commis- sions to distribute during his next sd- ministration.
 There are some fat jobs in the cus- toms service. as the collector of the portof New York receives$l2, 900. There are 123 collectorships of customs pay ing from $1 GOO up. Those at Phila- delphia and Boston pay Ss00o: that at San Francisco. $7.O0O. but the aver age compensation is about 5000. In the treasury department there are 702 presidential offices that are regarded as very attractive. There are eight as- sistant United States treasurers. one of whom in New York receives $S.0Oo. or the same salary as the secretary of the treasury himself.
 Under the interior department there are 33l presidential berths. but the salaries range from only S1.2oo to H.O0o. Tn the department of eom- merce and labor there are fl. only one of which pays more than ss.0oo a year. There are nine presidential of fees in the war department: three in the navy department. and three in the department of agriculture. In the department of justice there are . so- licitor general. an assistant to the at- torney general. six assistant attorneys general. and two solicitors: there are ss United States district attorneys and e many United States marshals.
