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.
