Attoney-G General Moody's letter is
addressed 10 the President, and alludes
entirely 70 conferences held by him
with Democratic Senators over amend
ments to the Rates bill. On this point
he says
The conference among the Democratic
members Of the Senate then occurred
the press reports Of which indicated that
there was not an entire agreement among
them. Mr.. Tillman, however, called TO
assure me that the prospects Of an agree
ment among a large number of the Demo
cratic Senators was good | heard
nothing further from Senator Bailey
until a later date I informed YOU of
what occurred st the interview between
the two senators and me and YOU told
me that you had heen informed from
various Democ attic sources that an
agreement amo g the Democrats upon
any agreement uld be impossible.
The two 5 nators called upon me
again on tho Pa g.. -.th of April. There
was some further talk about the form of
the amendment. The suggestion was
made that it might be possible, after
voting upon the provision forbidding all
interiocutory injunctiOns. to agree upon
an amendment which should include the
Long amendment and what has been
known as the Overman amendment.

was there the slightest opportunity for
any honest misconception of my attitude
or any belief that ! had pledged myself
specifically to anyone and only one amend
ment or set of amendments, or that ]
would not be satisfied with any amend
ment which preserved the essential feature
Of the Hepburn bill as it came from the
House
You will doubtless recall that in the
course of the several visits that you per-
sonally made me we discussed a number
Of these proposed amendments, trying to
find out for which one there could be OBJ
tanned q sufficient body Of assent to secure
its passage and the passage of the Rate
bill.
To almost every amendment proposed
by any one ] found that there were other
excellent men who objected, or who at
least wished to change il, and finally be-
came convinced that it was impossible for
Senators with advantage to use me as
the Intermediary IN coming 70 an agree
ment with their colleagues, especially
when they only communicated with me
through another intermediary, and
earnestly suggested to all to whom i spoke
that they should communicate with you
whose purposes and mine were identical
About this time / was informed by
various Democratic Senators that they
could not come 20 an agreement upon any
amendment, and that the best chance for
success lay in passing the Hepburn bill
substantially unchanged. l was in
formed and believed that this was Sena-
tor Baileys view, and a number of the
Republican Senators who favored the
bill expressed the same opinion.
Shortly after this you in company with
Senator Cullom called upon me with the
amendment which is now commonly
known as the Allison amendment. I
told you that while l should prefer the
Long and Overman amendments, yet
that your amendment was entirely salts
factory. Your amendment does not in
the slightest degree weaken or injure the
Hepburn bill. II merely expresses what
the friends Of the bill have always asserted
was implied by the terms of the bill.
/ may add that my own opinion that
your amendment in no way changed,
whether by diminishing or enlarging the
scope Of the court review as provided in
the original Hepburn bill is also the
opinion Of the attoney-general, of Mr..
Root and of Mr.. Taft. Their judgment
is that the amendment merely avoids the
criticism that the Hepburn bill would be
constitutionally invalid in not expressly
providing the court review which its sup
porters have always contended was
plainly implied in the original language.
The original Hepburn bill stated that
the venue Of certain actions was in GER
tain courts; the amendment states that
these courts shall have jurisdiction 70
consider such actions. To my mind it
seems difficult to assert this works
any change whatever in the principle of
the bill

IN THE SWINE
INDUSTRY

Now that the time has arrived when
lard commands only about half the
price Of hams and bacon, excepting in
years when corn or cottonseed oil is a
failure, the feeders and packers at
tentiOn in the future will naturally be
directed favorably toward the breed
that will be most economically convert
ed into choice hams and middlings.
To this end the TamwOrth has been
bred for generations until points
sought for have been developed at a
high degree of excellence. Take, for
instance, the form and growth of the
"middling' of the ordinary fat hog.
That part OF the middling running
from the belly up halfway is quite thin
and f1abby. the remainder thickening
until at the backbone or upper edge it
becomes thick and is solid fat, unfit for
anything but lard; also that portion
next the shoulder is thick and fat, with
no lean streaks.
w. Warren Morton of Kentucky sent

made to Country Gentleman, in which
he also expresses the opinion given
above. Mr.. Morton concludes that
"Tamworths are of peculiar value to

The Barometer.

That the barometer should be so i'm
portant a factor in indicating meteoro-
logical conditions is to many an I'M
solvable mystery. There should, how
ever. be no difficulty in understanding
that the simple principle underlying
the construction is that the free and
unfettered air balances a column Of
mercury varying in height. according
to the circumstances of the moment,
whose average elevation at the level Of
the sea is thirty inches. 1t is Known,
because directly ascertainable, that
thirty cubic inches of mercury weigh
close upon fifteen pounds avoirdupois.
and therefore. as commonly expressed.
the pressure of the atmosphere is, un-
der normal conditions, fifteen pounds
on every square inch - equivalent to
nearly a ton on a square foot. more
than eight and half tons on a square
yard and Of 100 tons on square Of
ten and quarter feet side. Scientific
calculation also places the aggregate
weight of the atmospheric envelope
surrounding the world at about $780,
600, OOO,OO of tons, and this may be
represented as the weight Of solid
leaden ball having diameter of sixty
miles. Such figures are really beyond
human comprehension

only to fall grievOusly when the innate
and agonizing thirst for liquor over
came him. Then he drank hard and
long. suffering untold remorse after his
appetite had been satiated.
When bashful Joe. his acquaintance
with Mary a week old, asked if he
might call on the girl in her home, the
clear brown eyes met his gaze frankly.
"You may, Mr.. Temple" she replied,
''but there is one condition. If smell
liquor on your breath, it's all off. J"
Poor Joe blushed "And don't use
cloves to cover it upv' she added en-
phatically. That's so cheap a trick in
a man. Besides, I'd know it just as
quick
Every Wednesday and Sunday even

home, for he was soon very much in
love. The family liked the big fellow
and made more of him than the friend

Mary's occurrences was belied by the
sparkle Of her eyes.
Twice the old insidious longing for
liquor fought with Joes love, but was
worsted. For days during these pc
RODS he trembled with the manfully
suppressed longing when he passed q
saloon. In the past he had fallen an
easy victim; it was different now.
For dazzling plan was taking form
In Joe's honest brain. He had the home
where he lived with his aged parents
reprinted and papered; during the long
summer evenings he shingled the
kitchen and built back porch, for he
was handy with tools, and several arti-
cles Of furniture had been added to
the living room out of his wages or
savings.
Winter had come before he finally
mustered up courage to ask the ques-
ton which such preparations fore
Tended. And the answer he received
was not what he had hoped.
"Oh, l daren't, Joe; l daren'tv' little
Mary had said, the merry eyes sohsE

sank to whisper-"suppose you got

"Oh. but Mary. l haven't touched a
drop in six months" he responded ear
nestly. And please God. if you'll mar
~ me I'll never take another drink"
But she still shook her head. THAT
isn't long enough. Joe; wait six months
more.'
And to all his pleading this was her
answer until Joe, in a burst Of disap-
pointment and wounded pride, declared
the time too long to wait for any one:
there were others; now
