Mr.. Hitchcock has done more for
the postoff1ce department in his two
and a half years than any of his pre-
decessors accomplished in four
years. This assertion can be made
without any disparagement Of his pre-
decessors. The work that has fallen
to the lot of the present postmaster
general has included more reforms
than We're ever instituted in similar
period, and he deserves the praise he
is receiving for the manner in which
he has carried them into effect.
But perhaps the greatest monu-
ment that will be left standing to the
administration of Mr.. Hitchcock is
the establishment of the postal saw
ings bank system. There are already
more than 1000 banks in operation,
and the manner in which the people
Of the country have responded to the
opportunity offered by the government
for the safe disposition of boarded
money has furnished ample evidence
of the success of the system.
1t has been estimated that nearly
$1,000 100000 Is sent out of this coun-
try every year by foreigners, and if
even one-half of this sum is retained
within our own borders the savings
banks will have been established to
good purpose.

POSTAL PROGRESS

In report made by the auditor for
the postoffice department announce
ment is made that there was a postal
surplus Of s2,4oO,24o.1e on March q,
the close of the first three-quarters of
the fiscal year, and that probably
there will be surplus of $4,000, 900
at the close of the fiscal year.
Interesting and gratifying as this
announcement is to the public, much
Of the satisfaction would disappear
were it not known that the econo-
mics effected have not been at the ex-
pense Of efficiency. AS a, matter of
fact it has been the idea of Postma aster
General Hitchcock to keep efficiency
good jump ahead Of economy, and
he has succeeded in this in a wav
that has surprised even the friends
Of the administration.

Plays Of CREST merit usually last for
five or six seasons and then 60 into
the stock houses for occasional rep
resentation. The one exception has
been Mr.. Thompson's play, and it has
been on the go now many years, this
being the twenty-fifth season. "The
Old Homestead" did but little travel
ling during the first two years Of its
existence, it having remained in and
about Boston for that period after its
initial presentation at the Boston
theatre in April, 1885, 1t was not un-
til after its three years run at the
academy of music in New York city
that it entered upon its perambula-
tions. The first travelling season of
the company was one of extraordin-
ary length, they remained out con-
tinuously for ninety weeks During
that time the company travelled 35,-
600 miles or one and half times
the circumference Of the globe. All
parts OF the country were touched.
The demand for the play became still
heavier as its fame grew apace. and
Mr.. Thompson soon had three COM
panies before the public. 1t would be
next to an impossibility to give any
thing like an sccur"te distance Of the
territory over which the home of
Joshua WhiIcomb. Grace Church and
the other well-known scenes in the
play were moved back and forth dur
ing the first half of their existence,
but it is ssfe 10 say that 100000 miles
would not be an exaggerated estimate
Probably The Old Homestead has,
during its existence, travelled dis
tance OF al least half a dozen times
around the globe. Whs. is more re-
marhable is the fact that the play
has been seen in this country slone
and the movements of the various
companies presenting it have been re-
strictsd 10 practically the same ter
ritory there being indeed but a few
if any towns Of any consequence in
the United States that have not been
introduced TO Joshua Whitcomb. Cy
Prime. Aunt Matilda. Happy Jack,
hickey Ann. Eh. Genzey and all the
other familiar characters in The
Old Homestead" For some years
there has been only one company |
presenting the play. as Mr.. Denman
Thompson was not content unless
Ih= play wss presented under his i'm
cs5:s,s supervision and. of course. |
.s.s could not he done if there were
several ccmparieS.

WU TING.FAN&S NEW TASK

As the native Chinese discards his
queue he takes on some Of the friv-
olities Of the occident, including the
safety razor and the cigarette. The
safety razor does not appear to have
demoralized the young Chinese, but
the cigarette is making inroads into
his pocketbook and his vitality to
such an extent as to arouse the ac-
tive opposition of our vigilant old
friend. WI Ting-fang, sometime min
lister to the United States. At a meet
ing held in Shanghai recently it was
stated that the cigarette was now
costing the Chinese $9,O00,OO0 year,
with prospects of rapid increase. A
society was formed under Wu Ting
fsng's auspices to combat this new
western evil, and $500 was subscribed
with which to pay the preliminary ex-
penses of translators who will try
to turn the youth Of the fowery
kingdom from the enticements of the
slim-barreled destroyer.
1t is to be hoped WI Ting-fang may
succeed in his new propaganda. Only
an optimist, who expects to live for
ever. would tackle the cigarette prob
lem. After the accomplished oriental
diplomat has stamped out the deadly
cigarette from the dominions of his
emperor, we hope he will be induced
to come to America and perform
similar task here. A couple of CEN
turies of brisk. vigorous work ought
to show gratifying results, and Wu
Ting-fang is just the man for the
Job

THE RUSSIAN PRINCE
THE SMALLEST MAN
Although s6 Years Of Age, This Mere
Sprig Of Humanity Weighs But
Sixteen Pounds,

One Of the most interesting fea-
lures of the fair is the Russian Prince,
who is, without any doubt the small
est adult in the world, only weighing
16 1-2 pounds; 27 inches high and So
years of age, and the best part of the
show is that he Is looking for wife.
The Prince is going to look them all
over before he makes a pick as he is
kind of suspicious Of the girls in
Grand Forks.
Have you found wife, Prince?"
asked a reporter yesterday morning.
Eyes; 1 have one at the boarding
house and I think that she is one of
the prettiest girls that / ever saw.
You ought to come along with me
some evening and see her." remarked
the Prince.
II will take you up on that" re-
marked the reporter.
well, if you go down with me
want to warn you that If you make
any attempt to cut me out there cer-
tainly will be trouble" said the
Prince.
This concluded the conversation.

CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS

While Mr.. Bryan was trying 70
make political capital by attempting
to show that he favored publicity in
campaign contributions. and the; 9TH
er Democratic aspirants for the pres:-
dency might not, the Republicans OF
the senate were drafting a law cover
ing the subject more drastic than NJ.
Bryan ever proposed. This measure
passed the senate almost unanimous
ly. thus showing tha. it is not
partisan question, however zeaIousty
demagogues may try to make II sp-
pear such.
Every honest man is in favor Of
purity of elections. and is opposed 10
secrecy or any other device that en-
ables rascals to buy Office. Honesty
is not a Republican issue or Demo-
cratic invention. Neither party is en-
titled to any credit for enacting legis-
lation insuring purity of elections.
The bill as passed by the senate may
not be entirely satisfactory to both
parties and all sections, but it is open
to amendment through conference, and
opes-mindedness on the part of both
houses and both parties ought to per-
feet the measure.
The one thing needful is to recog-
nize the fact that the people will not
be fooled into believing that either
political party is more honest" than
the other. Let politics be laid aside
in such legislation as this; for there
is no political advantage to be gained,
and any attempt to "do politics" in
this connection is likely to impair
the quality of the law. Let the legis-
lators agree, for once, that they are
all honest and all trying to safeguard
the purity of elections, and then they
will come to an easy agreement upon
the essential points of needed legis-
lation.

GOOD SUPPLY OF CHICKENS
Hunting Will he Better Than Usual
this SeaseE-Birds Are
Well Matured

Indications now ere that chicken
shooting will be better than usual
this fall. The season opens on Sep
tember Is and some good hunting is
in store for the sportsmen of the
state. One reason for the large sup
ply of chickens this year is the fav-
orable weather conditions. Hailstorms
do q great deal of damage some years
by breaking up the nests. There have
been but few storms this year and
consequently little damage was done.
Better enforcement of the game
laws and a better public sentiment
against spring shooting is also partly
responsible for the larger supply OF
game. On account OF the early spring
the young chickens were hatched
early and are now we'll grown.

planted on the place, thirty-nve acres
Of wheat, twenty-five acres Of corn,
fifteen acres Of fax and forty acres Of
beans. Forty acres of beans, ordi-
nary navy beans, baked bean variety,
are supposed to yield fifty to eighty
bushels to the acre. They are plant
ed with drill like corn aud cult
vated as corn is. with a riding culti-
vator. At this time they are just in
blossom and look very much like q
garden. In the fall they are to be
pulled and threshed. That is where
the work comes. But they are worth
$2.76 per bushel on the market and
that will help some.
