who insists on breeding the wrong

so as well; not only this hut he injures
the home and foreign trade. There-

The United States post office service
has not been a fruitful field for the re-
former. It has been one of the most
conservative and fossolized parts of
the Government machine. We are
told that the government is still paying
the railway companies the same price
for transporting second class mail mat-
ter, newspapers, etc., as it did in 1840
when railways were first built. The
result is that the setae railways carry
express parcels for one-quarter or even
one-eighth what they receive for trans-
porting mailbags. The consequence is
that the government is a heavy loser
on this part of the service. There up to
the present all efforts to have postai
sae Ines' banks established have been
ineffectual, and the small depositor is
left at the mercy of the local savings'
bank, the liability of which to ° bust"
in times of stringency is proverbial.
However there are brighter parts in
the picture. One of these is in the
matter of free rural mail delivery.
That is the delivery of mail matter
daily at the homes of farmers all over
a well populated county. Theoretically
the farmer has as mina riglat to free
delivery as the city dweller, and be
has much greater need of it. The city
man can find out the state a the mar-
kets erom bulletins as he goes down
town, or by telephone, but the farmer,
anxious to strike the market at the
right time, is dependant upon the
newspaper for his market reports.
Besides, by bringing tbe farm house
into constant touch with the commun-
ity, a geat deal of dullness and loneli-
ness now associated with farm life will
be taken away and the rush to the
cities be so much lessened. There is
stall one other advantage which rural

London, Nov, 30. - Dr. Morrison,

"M. De Giers, Russian :Meister,
who had. previously assented to all
the terms of the conjoint noteanclud-
ing tbe death penalty clause, bas now
intimated to the Chinese envoys that
Russia, actuated. by a sincere find -

that the guilty shall be punished. by
the Chinese in a manner aeeeptable to
the powers, or that the terms ot the
note shall not be irreverable,but may
be modified by negotiations with the
Chinese-. envoys.
"Russia bas thus again proclaimed
how farcical is. the so- called concert.
The Chinese, eavoys are kept well in-
formed. regarding the discussions and
disputes of the nileisters at their
meetings. So Lai= Le, indeed, are
