Thankee, MarSe Henry.

Marse WattersOn wakes warm in
defense of the Washington as the
nations city beautiful. He would
have il that someone not named
seeks the repeal of the anti-smole
law, and That such a movement,
coupled with our entirely natural
desire for more trade. threatens the
proper development of the Capital.
We people of Washington, ten
ants of the republic" as Marse
Henry calls us, are unaware of any
intent to repeal the anti-smoke law.
\ group of District citizens would
have it amended so as TO make it, in
their judgment, susceptible of en-
forcement. But no One--not the
newspapers. or the Commissioners,
or Congress, or the President-has
Endorsed even that petition, to say
nothing of a demand that the law
be repealed.
The meat of the Courier-Journal's
editorial, however, is not the matter
of smoke Though a Louisville paper
might well lay emphasis on the evil
of that commodity. 1t is the ex-
preston of a view reported from
every section of the United States
by every District traveler-that the
Capital is also the drawing room of
the nation, and that her advance in
cleanliness and beauty is making
her the pride of the whole people.
AS John Sherman used to say in
the Senate: 4 have escorted many
visitors from Ohio around this city.
They have noted every improvement
with pleasure, and every shortcom-
ing with regret. They have talked
TO me freely about their Capital.
And l have never yet heard one of
them say it was too fine" If the
people had their way, Washington
would be, indeed, the ''neater,
sweeter maiden in a cleaner, greener
landn Colonel Watterson yearns to
behold with his young eyes.

no Indifference to the Capital in

thrown in the waste basket? If so.
Iowa will find it a losing venture
In the end, the country storekeeper
will find that the mail order house
can keep up such fight longer than
he can.
The real way TO cope with the
mail order house is the way OF all
trade-getting Offer the same goods
for the same cash prices and some
extra advantage. In this case the
advantage will be, first, matter OF
immediate delivery against a long
wait upon the freight or express
service. Again, judicious advertising
on the basis of seeing before you
buy will impress most country Peo-
pie. And a mans neighbors-other
things being equal-can generally be
persuaded to buy at home. If the
dealers who are suffering from the
inroads of the mail order houses
will but emphasize. these points
they may hope to make progress.
BIT they will not get far by engag-
ing in a postage-paying contest.

The Mellen Merger.

The report that the Boston and
Maine and the New Haven roads are
shortly to be merged under the
domination of the New Haven in
terests is of the greatest interest.
These two systems practically con-
troll all railroad transportation in
New England, and, in addition to
this. the New Haven has made itself
a powerful factor in the coasting
traffic, being interested in steam
ship lines.
The Boston and Maine has been a
benevolent despot in New England
under the presidency of Samuel Tut
tie He has firmly believed that the
prosperity of New England was the
only thing that could assure pros
perity to his road; and his policy
has uniformly been that which
should most further the trade Of his
section. Others have blamed him
for enforcing determinations in

A Postage-Paying Contest,

A queer idea of enterprise comes
from Iowa. 1t is a plan to beat the
great mail order house. Roughly, it
is this:
An organizer is travelling from
small town to small town enlisting
all the merchants. The latter are
TO flood the mail order houses with
applications for catalogues. Obtain
ing them, they are to tax the greater
competitors by letters of inquiry.
When. after a while, the mail order
clerks discover the fruftlessness of
the correspondence the merchant
will begin again in the name of some
employee. If, finally, the city mer-
chant cuts off the correspondence il
is expected he will hurt his own
trade by cutting off also some inno-
cent letter writer's from the same
town.
On the theory that 500 mer-
chants in the State viii enter the
campaign, it is expected to cost the
mail order houses s3,564 per week in
useless postage alone, to say moth
ing of the cost Of opening the mail,
debating and writing the letters,
and the outlay for stationery. add
TO this the cost of their catalogues"
says the news account from Webster
City, Iowa, land Hamilton county
merchants believe that within year
radical change will be made in the
mail order business.
Everyone must sympathize with
the country storekeeper in his fight
TO keep his business. But no one of
intelligence can sympathize with
any such plan to keep it as is here
outlined. Even if il does cost the
mail order houses S3,564 a week
which it will never dot will cost
the smaller merchants of Iowa the
same sum to the dollar At present
catalogues are sent out at charge
calculated TO cover their actual cost
to the house which issues them and
deducted from the first purchases.
Are these the papers that are to be
