Two historic houses that lend fame to St. Louis are to he wrecked at an early date to make room for modern structures. In one Julia Dent became the wife of General Ulysses 8. Grant; in the other Sarah Knox Taylor, daughter ot President Taylor, was married to Jefferson Davis, who later became the President of the southern confederacy. ' , No matter what may happen to the miners ot anthracite coal, the outlook for -consumers whose means are modest cannot be regarded as highly encouraging. The companies which con trol the production have already announced a steady and progressive advance in schedule rates, and this final month of spring is so cruelly cold that almost everybody except the owners of the mines is shivering. John P. Elkiu is still lolling in the delegates, one county after another is dropping into his col umn. Northuuilcr)and Co. lias instructed her three delegates to vote for him. Postmaster General Payne has found a happy argument to support the decision of his department, excluding pretended newspapers from the second class of mail matter. He says that giving low rates to these publications is to give them "a virtual subsidy," and that this is true is too clear to be questioned. The only thing to be decided, then, is whether they are worthy of being subsidized by the United States Government, and on this point there will be little difference of opinion. , The last official crop estimate cuts down the figures previously given as to the probable yield of winter wheat by 58,500,000 bushels. It con cede the destruction by drought of 4,868,000 acres and alight injury to what is left. This re duction does not mean that this season's total yield of wheat is going to be small, for, except ing 1901, the acreage still remains the largest on record. Therefore, although the condition of the wheat fields is reported to be the lowest in 10 years, it is thought that the amount proJuced will be greater than the general yield of other years of a decade, barring the years 1931, 1898 and 1892. This country has a real interest in the future of Holland. Should Queen Wilhelmina die without a direct heir there is no doubt that the Dutch people would object to the throne passing to a German prince, who would be a vassal to the Kaiser. Germany wants the Netherlands, foe the possession of that country would help along her martimedevelopmentand foreign trade. As her great future business rival we are inter ested in the continuance of the gallant Dutch as a free people. HELP SORELY NEEDED. Reports from Martinique show how greatly efficient help is needed. A small squad of French soldiers, brave and stalwart men, no doubt, was on Wednesday trying to cope with the tremendous task of burying the dead at St. Pierre. That the authorities of the island do not meet the situation is not strange. Directions by minds that have not been almost overpowered by the disaster is essential. Horror is added to the situation by the scroundels who, undauted by the ruin that has been wrought, go among the dead to plunder. Terrifying though the threatening volcano must be, and un speakably terrible as all the eights about them are, they still have the heart to rob ! 'Reports cabled both to this country and to England agree in these btories of roblicry. It is probably that as help arrives on the Island a system of main taining order can be devised. But many strong arms, under capable guidance, are needed to quickly perform the tasks that must be done. It is evident that the movements to send aid to the)sltnd were not begun a second too soon, or urged with too much vehemence. The world cannot be too generous. Old Copies af the Pest Wasted.
