The Senate Of the United States, during
recent years, has come in for a large
amount Of uniavorable comment. Il has
been termed a "millionaire's club, and
frequently has been accused Of denying
to the people legislation clearly de
manded by the public interests, oven
after approval by the House Of Represen-
tatives
But in the matter Of the Railroad
Rates bill, the Senate has given a splendid
illustration Of the careful, dignifed con-
sideration Of a grave public question.
The House Of Representatives gave ap-
proval to this bill in the most undignifed
manner, without real discussion, and at
the behest Of party pressure and strong
executive influence. What a spectacle
In legislation il would have been had the
Senate acted in a like manner.
On the contrary, the consideration Of
the Rates bill in the Senate has been
marked by some Of the ablest speeches
ever delivered in that body. Senators
Foraker, Lodge, Bailey, Culberson, Knox,
Rainer, Dolliver and Tillman have dis
oussed the measure with calmness, de-
liberation, and due appreciation Of the
business principles involved in the pro
posed legislation. II is true that Senator
Tllman verged upon the demagogic in
tho report with which he presented the
bill 10 the Senate, but this was a notable
exception. All the speeches, even Till
mans. have been remarkable for their
ability, conservatism and sound logic.
No matter what may be the fato Of the
Rates bill in the Senate, it will be in ac-
cord with the deliberate, unbiased iudg-
ment Of that body.

Bradstreet's says: "Trade reports are
still rather mixed In character. Business
feels the effects Of continued winter
weather, heavy snowfalls and freezing
temperatures, which have hurt early
fruits and truck interests, retarded retail
trade and affected iobbing sales and ship
ments Building has been interrupted,
but this is only temporary, and the
winter wheat crop has been put beyond
harm by the heaviest snowfall In years
at this period Uncertainty as to the
coal strike induces hesitancy in some
lines of industry, but has immensely
stimulated coal and coke. Pig iron is
dull, but steel rail sales are numerous,
and immense expenditures for railway
building west and northwest are projected.

that trade and industrial requirements

collections are backward, an out
growth Of the slowness Of retailers to
remit on late winter and early spring
business, and warmer weather, il is con
iidently believed, would remedy this con.
dition. Railway earnings are really mag.

The Frequently False Weather
Prophet" is the title bestowed upon Prof
Willis L. Moore. official head of the
Weather Bureau at Washington. and
those who closely follow the bureaus
daily forecasts, as printed in the news
papers, will agree that the appellation
is apt and appropriate.
just now Prof Moore is laborng with
a committee OF Congress for an appropria-
ton for the general extension of the work
Of his bureau. He proposes to create a
department for giving out long-range
weather forecasts, as well as daily infor-
nation Of existing conditions coupled with
forecasts Of what may be expected TO
follow
But il may with truth be urged that
4 the Weather Bureaus long range fore
casts arc 10 be no nearer 20 reasonable
accuracy than are its daily bulletins, the
expenditure Of money in providing facili-
ties for such work will be a dead waste.
For the inaccuracies Of the daily fore
casts are notorious.
Who can forget Prof Moore's mag
nihcent failure Of March Sd, 1901, the
day prior to President McKinley's second
Inauguration. In a special bulletin issued
during the afternoon, and sent direct to
the White House, he predicted for the
morrow "the finest weather ever expert
enced on the Inauguration Of President.
The sky surely will be clear and the tenn
perature warm and balmy--a fit meteoro-
logical climax to the magnificent work
done by yourself and your able assist
ants"
But the weather Of March 4th, 1901
was the worst ever" terrific rains and
chilling temperature. Let us hope Con-
gress win not consent to give more
financial rope to such a weather prophet.

Bookkeeping can be made source Of

It in the right way. Procure a book on
the subject by some one who has had that
experience which enables him to speak
with authority, and study it well before
beginning business.
But if you are anxious TO begin at once.
get your book and your bees al the same
time, and endeayor TO put the theories
OF the bee-keeper author into practice as
you 60 along. lis you can do without
much trouble. If any points seem knotty
70 you, you can no doubt find some apiar-
ian in your vicinity who can help YOU out
OF your difficulty. There is really nothing
connected with bee-keeping that anyone
who is serious about il cannot learn
readily. And it is fascinating work. when
one gets over the fear Of being stung. as
he soon will, when he learns how to handle
the busy little things without making
them angry. Honey is as healthful as
delicious, and the country home that IS
not well supplied with it is not living up
to its privileges. French comb-honev
always sells well, at a good price, and a
small colony Of bees can be made source
OF profit with very little trouble and not
a great deal Of expense. Get swarm OF
bees this spring and learn how 70 take
care OF them. You'll find there's money

smoleInr cnr For Woman.

Who would have thought that staid
and steady "Old England" would
be tho pioneer in introducing upon rail-
roads the decided innovation Of a smoking
car for the exclusive accommodation Of
women addicted TO the use Of the weed.
Such move would not have been surpris-
ing in European countries further south.
where women who indulge in tobacco are
the rule, rather than the exception-in
Spain or ltaly-but that England should
take the initiative is most astonishing
1t must be added, however, that smok-
ing cars for women are not 70 be fixture
Of English railroads-at least not for the
present, This particular car was en-
gagged for a special occasion-for the ao-
commodation Of some women on a party
bound for Liverpool, who wanted car
in which they might enjoy the weed. Il
may be that not another such request
will ever be received by the managers Of
an English railroad or Il may be that
the requests viii come so quickly that
smoking cars for women will soon be q
fixture Of all trains.
Who may venture to say what would
be the result OF the introduction Of smok-
ing cars for women on the railroads Of the
United States There are many women
users Of tobacco in this country, no doubt
but they crafty their taste for the weed
in private. How many OF them would
deliberately invite the publicity that
would attach to a smoking car for women
by participating in the facilities il afforded
for "good smoke ?"

II would be interesting to know by
what authority Attorney General Hadley
Of Missouri, who has been hunting John
d. Rockefeller for weeks, for the purpose
Of serving him with a process Of subpoena,
now assumes to promise him immunity
for the purpose of enabling him to visit
New York City and take look at his new
baby grandson. The duty of Attorney
General Hadley, it would appear, is to
enforce the law, regardless Of the advent
Of new heirs to the Rockefeller millions.
Il is acts like this of Hadey's that give
Socialists hook on which to hang their
denunciations Of the law.
