loose coins from boxes and
delays thorn 011 the service of
their routes. The postmas-
ter therefore, urgently re-
quests that patrons of rural
delivery paovide themselves
and keep op hand a supply of
stamps consistent with and
in advance of their needs. It
is also very desirable that ru-
ral patrons pla<e in their
mail boxes small detachable
cups of wood or tin in which
to place coins, when necees-
sary in purchasing supplies
of stamps.
The one thing most needed
in American politics today is
the eon rage to speak the
truth plainly and to do the
right openly, regardless of
any consequences or dangers..
The times want men who will
dare to tell the people when
they are wrong, with power
and wisdom to lead where
mere demagogues follow.
There has never been any
greater opportunity in the
history of the Nation than
there is now for the man of
wisdom, and courage and pow-
er. The honest and patriotic
people of this country will re-
ceive him gladly.—News.
The money sent away to a
mail order house usually
buys an inferior article and
never gets back home and in-
to local circulation, while the
money spent at home usually
gets the right article at the
right price, and stays in cir-
culation and goes on doing
good.
Governor Hughes of New
York has accepted an invita-
tion to speak at the Washing-
ton birthday celebration of
the Union League club in
Chicago next month. It is
generally believed that he
will 011 this occasion present
his views on a few national
probiems.
Last fall the Missouri
truck farmers sold their cab-
bage at $S a ton or two-fifths
of one cei.t a pound. Just
now these cabbage are retail-
ing in Texas cities for 5 cents
a pound or $100 a ton. Who-
ever gets the difference in
price between what the Mis-
souri farmer gets and what
the Texas consumer pays
ought to be in a very prosper-
ous condition.
Postmaster Crosby desires
to call attention to the prac-
tice of some patrons of rural
delivery of placing loose coins
in their boxes each time they
dcsiie to dispatch letters in-
stead of supplying themselves
with postage in advance of
their needs. This practice
imposes undue hardship on
mral carriers in removing 1
When farmers engage in
manufacturing enterprises, or
commercial investments and
banking institutions, as farm-
ers and as organizations of
farmers the end of those ven-
tures are in sight. The road
made by the great Farmers'
Alliance is strewn with the
wrecks of these commercial
experiments. The farmer
can sit on his farm and from
this throne of beauty and util-
ity rule the business of the
world, so far as he a.id his
family needs are concerned.
Let the other man attend to
hu business.-Texas Farm and
Ranch.
The second installment of
reuiinscences of the Kit Klux
Klati, by Colonel John C.
Reed, appears in the Febru-
ary number of Uncle Rem-
inds Magazine, giving the ac-
count of how the Presidential
campaign of 186S, was carried
for the Democratic candidate
in Oglethorpe County, Geor-
gia, despite the fact that the
negroes, together with the
few white Republicans, great-
ly outnumbered the white
masses. While the article is
only the account of what hap-
pened in a very small part of
Georgia, it is of general inter-
est, because it gives an idea
of the power the Klan exerted
throughout the South by
showing what one Den accom-
plished in one district. Colo-
nel Reed writes interesting!}
and without prejudice or bit-
terness.

Wholesale Devastation.
It is an appealing fact that
the torc'i of man ha.-, hereto-
fore left the world a bleak,
treeless waste. The main ob
jects of interest are the ruins.
Certain of these ruins are re-
sults of storms or earth-
quakes, others of volcanic
showers, and yet others of the
deadly violence of war. But
these are not all.
What are the naked, bleak
and lifeless areas of Ireland
but ruins? What are the
wasted areas of Egybt, Ara-
bia or the Far East but ruins
wrought by the hand of man?
I he desert has widen as man
has opened the way by de-
stroying" the trees and grass,
and this truth has been
brought home to the people of
our own country already, al-
beit they have had barely suf-
ficient time ts settle down as
a Nation, and ncne of the ex-
traordinary means of destruc-
tion had done its worst in the
United States. The most
shocking of our ruins are
merely the devastations that
have come to us as results of
our own short-dightedness,
selfishness and greed
We have numerous exam-
ples to'warn us against this
sort of waste, as well as oth-
er hopeful examples to assure
us that such sacrifices can pe
prevented and heavy penal-
ties thus avoided.
The groves were God's ffrst
temples, and the spirit of re-
verence burns very low iu the
heart of tha^t man who goes
forth ruthlessly to destroy a
splendid tree. The kindest
thing that can be said about
him is that he is of weak
mind. But it is not weak-
mindedness that has led to
destruction of all the great
forests of this country. The
beauty and healthfuluess and
wealth of the forests has been
commercialized out of exist-
ence. The timber aad ero-
ded hills and fields of the old-
er States are witnesses to
prove the ignorance, careless-
ness and greed of men who
have staited the generations
to succeed them along the old
course of blistering the earth
and leaving only ruins in the
wake of the human race.
In recent j'ears there has
been in this matter a great
awakening. In France and
in other progressive countries
