Russia Planning Corn Monopoly.
The Russian government is said to
be planning monopoly of the corn
grown in the country The scheme
was conceived by NJ Bark, Russias
new Minister of Finance The pro-
posed reform, IN brief. is as follows:
A network of state graneries will be
established throughout the empire and
the farmers will have to transfer their
corn to the granaries in the autumn,
so far as they do not need it them
selves The price that will be paid to
the farmers will be fixed every year
on the basis of the international posi-
ton in the corn market. The govern
ment will undertake the export to for
eign countries. as well as the commits
sion business at home, and thus will
reap the enormous profits that are at
present pocketed by the corn dealers
and exporters.

CONGRESS- WISELY BOWS OUT
The "Avenue of Presidents" and Re-
turns to Sixteenth Street.
(From the Boston Herald.)

(From the Boston Herald)
With the decision OF congress once
more to paint the lamppost in Six
teenth street (northwest) by the name
which L'Enfant gave it, most Ameri-
cans will be in hearty agreement. II
has been the Avenue of the Presi-
dents" for a year or two, to the de-
light of the real estate men and some
of the residents. But Senator Lodge
who lives in Massachusetts avenue
within block, poked fun at the map
propriate pretentiousness of it. Mr.
Brandegee of Connecticut confessed
that he always wanted to heave brick
at any sign bearing that high-sounding
name. Mr.. Galliger of New Hampshire
thought otherwise; he liked the Ave
nue. of the Presidents" but the senate
overruled him.
Since all Americans are stockhold-
ers in the national capital the salient
facts of the case may not be worthy
of recital. Here they are:
The avenue starts opposite the
White House and. runs due north to the
district line. A mile and a half out the
street climbs a handsome hill from
which the city may be seen to excep-
tional advantage Nature has done
so much that man mas gone in, too,
and the stretches on and above the hill
have been lined with beautiful man
sions, many of them occupied by diplo-
mats, and constituting a peculiarly at
tractive section of the city Were
national highway ever to be construc-
ted to Gettysburg it would be con-
tinuation of this one. Therefore it de-
serves a high-sounding name if any
thing does.
But the designer of the capital gave
to ''avenue" a distinct meaning in his
great plan. He called the highways
running north and south and east and
west, laid not with the regularity of a
checkerboard, streets" Upon that
formation he superimposed-to relieve
it of the monotony Of regularity, and
to provide short ~cuts-diagonals,
which he called avenues" That con-
Meeting the capitol with the White
House, named in honor of the greatest
commonwealth of the time, became
avenue. The other states
were accorded avenues in proportion
to their rank. Massachusetts drew a
good location, as it has proved in the
lottery of time Now the highway un-
der discussion belongs to the checker
board layout and so is street. Re
naming it only offended L'Enfant's
theory.
Then did you ever think what
time makes with street names,
and how inappropriate "the avenue OF
the presidents" might sometime be?
Fifty years ago it would have been rid
iculous. Twenty years ago this was a
street, stopping at the
foot of the hill which has now made it
famous. And it may revert, in a cen
-ury or two, to it's older status. Penn
,ylvania avenue is itself a problem.
# is sliding back constantly The
,oute of our inaugural parades may
some day be the equivalent of one OF
,ur governors through North and
Salem streets. Curiously pretenuous
;uch a name might sometimes seem
gain. whereas Sixteenth street" the
historic name of the founders, fits ap-
into any career the high
way may have.

EUROPEAN NEWS AND VIEWS

LONDON, Apr. 6.-While the daily
press is busy giving the details of the
Ulster situation as it appears on the
surface, those who have visited Ire
land during the past week can forsee
a far graver and more widespread dan
ger than mere civil war in case there
should be hostilities in ireland. There
seems to be an undercurrent of dis
satisfaction with the general condition
of affairs and it strikes at the very
heart of the empire. Alarming as it
may seem, progressive politicians have
been spreading their seeds of discon-
tent so quietly, yet so effectively that
it would not take much to start such
a revolution as France, Portugal and
other countries have known. The mil .
itant suffragettes, too, have played
their part we'll. Not only is the min
istry concerned, but King George HIM
self is said to realize the gravity of
the situation and IS alarmed.
At His Best At 80.
If it is true that man is at his best
at the age of fifty, then England's par
lament should go down as one of the
most erudite in the country's history.
Neither extreme youth not extreme age
has such representation in the house
Of commons, for there are only seven
members between u and 80, only three
between 70 and so, and one at 80, to
which a touch of irony is added by the
fact that his name is Young. More
Than half of the house are between 40
md so, and the greatest number for
any decade is 207 between so and &c.
The average for the whole house is
Just under 81.

Echo of Tragedy Not Dead.

The echo of the CaillauX- Calmette
tragedy has not yet died out in Paris
and France still IS alarmed for fear
that each day may bring some outburst
of a serious political nature. OF course,
the royalists are extremely active but
no one acquainted with the situation
seriously believes that they have any
chance to again come into power The
entire thought of Europe seems to be
antagonistic to monarchies, empires
and kingdoms. A more progressive
spirit is rampant and the best thinkers
of France are fighting not so much
for change in the form of government
as for a publication of the men whose
genius fit them to lead but whose
morals are cause of national regret.
