Congress refused to abolish its
privilege of sending seeds broadcast
over the land at public expense, and
the effort TO eradicate the free seed
abuse was a signal failure. 1t is
said that for every one cents worth

A scientist in Europe has concluded
that the internal regions under all OF
the old world is very threatening a:
present, and predicts that Europe at
no distant day will be turned bottom
side up and blotted out. If that's
so we cannot see any use of the Unit
ed States going on with building a
navy and fortifying Boston and New
York. 1t certainly will be monoto-

lO'Keefe politically, Metsker has for
ever blasted his own prospects ant
helped O'Keefe. While Mr. O'Keef'
has not been a candidate for the nom
nation of state treasurer on the Dem
ocratic ticket, expressions are coming
in from all over the state, that Nets
ker the CRATER, is the agent of tn
boodlers who are fighting O'Keef'

will accept it looks n2w like he viii
be nominated by reclamation.

| The long fight over the railroad
rate bill is ended, and both extreme
are claiming the victory. Senator Al
lison of Iowa is credited with beinl
the dove of peace. His court revie,
amendment ha solved the vexe'
problem. The President and the Re
publican friends of the Hepburn bill
have accepted it, and Senator Aldricl
and the so-called conservative" sen
ators have acquiesced. The Senat

under a protocol, for the purpose
ratifying full treaty and formall
winding up the whole controversy.

| Those congressman WHO hoped TO
an early adjournment in order tina
they might be fixing up their fence!
seem to be doomed TO disappoint
ment 1t was predicted several month
ago that congress would adjourn b
the first of May at the latest. Thi
date is past and adjournment does nc
seem to be in sight yet. The rate reg

time before it is ready to be vote
upon and there are other measure
that will probably require considers

have not been passed, which wi
cause still further delay.
