While hanging a hay fork in his

Let the Borough Council pass a
law that on the first day of April 'O4,
all cattle, horses and swine are to be
withdrawn from our streets provid
ing suitable pasture at a reasonable
figure can be secured, then there
would be some inducement to clear
up the underbrush surrounding us

fields and make distant views more
possible.
The Postofflce Department has de
cided a question which will be of in
terest to wives all over the country,
the decision is that husbands can
not open the letters of their wives
against their protest. The ruling is
as follows: "A husband has no right
to receive the mail addressed to his
wife against her protest. As to the
mail addressed to the children, the
father has the prior right to receive
it uidess there be some particular
circumstances in the case which the
department might take into consid
eration on a statement of the facts
being presented." This ruling has
gone out to all postmasters as a|result
of repeated requests from postmas
ters all over the country for a ruling
in the matter.
The Farm and Home publishes an
article by a corespondent which bears
on an aggravating evil which is be
ing brought to the attention of the
people and exterminated wherever
it lifts its head in defiance of the law.
It truthfully says: "Where men
with small farms are allowed to keep
more stock thanjthey can pasture on
their own land, such stock often be
comes a great nuisance. In this
section (Freeland Mich.) the cattle of
some persons stray the streets, roam
roads at will and even feed on pri
vate ground* from early morn till
nig' owners of such stock are
either ignorant of cattle laws or de
liberately intend to get all they can
of this world's goods for nothing, re
gardless of the property of neighbors.
In time, the feed in the highway
becomes short and the cattle troub
lesome. The man who keeps a
herd of cattle more than he can feed
and lets them run at will is impos
ing on his neighbors and the public."

CITY AND COUNTRY.
Their Mutual Dependence and M«-
tul Intemli.
Lately we have heard much about
the dominance of the country In ur
ban affairs, especially in Greater New
York. The contempt with which the
New Yorker refers to that indefinite
somewhere known as "up the state"
can only be equaled by his abject de
pendence on the products of that same
country "up the state"for his dally
bread. Pence off the city of New York
at the Harlem river and cut off sup
plies, and how long could she exist? IX
the country Is dependent on the city
for its markets, the city is doubly de
pendent ou the country, for its very
life blood is drawn from it.
After all, the only thing which God
gave toman was the earth. From It
comes all wealth. It has been placed
nowhere else. It must be dug out of
the soil in agriculture or wrought out
of mines. All things spring from the
soil, and all things must return to It.
Whatever else happens, whether pan
ics come or national convulsions occur,
though syndicates and trusts may cor
ner production, yet the soil remains,
and from It everything necessary to
man's sustenance can be gained.
Condition depends upon character
far more than character upon condi
tion, and the usefulness of the resi
dent of the country, like that of the
city, is dependent upon faithfulness to
duty. Let us make it our aim, then,
whether we be residents r itry
or the city—
To love some one more de»
To help a wandering child way,
To ponder o'er a noble the 'ay
And smile when evening falls;
To follow truth as blind men long for
light,
To do our best from dawn of day till
night.
To keep our hearts fit for his holy slgtit
And answer when he calls.
•—George A. Puller.
With Gorman at one end of the hal
ter and the Democratic donkey at the
other lively pulling and huullng may be
expected, but the latter will ut least
and at last have a muleteer -ery faf
from being so complete an ass as itself,.
Gorman possesses some discourse of
reason and a looking before und after
and can give the party a kind of leader
ship from which it parted some time
ago, but which restored does not prom
ise to keep it out of the ditch. It tends
to that, hoofs upward, all the time, no
matter who leads it before or kicks it
behind. —New York Tribune.
A Bad Habit.
Some Democratic quacks have form
ed such a habit of luylng all the blame
for every sort of calamity on the pro
tective tariff that If they were to tee
a neighbor's house on flre they would
not think of a thing to do bat rear back
on their huunches and squall, "RepeuJ
the tariff!"— Moravian Falls (N. C.) Yel

Ihoir r« How.
The Commoner begins an editorial
by saying, "If removing the coal tariff
will cripple the coal trust," etc. But
Just hold on, Billy. We want you to
show for the first time that the re
moval of the coal tariff has had any
tendency to cripple the coal trust be
fore you undertuke to make sane folks
believe that removing the tariff kills
the trusts.—Moravian Falls (N. C.) Yel
