Tb Secretary 01 Agricul ture and his chief statistinn John Hyde, are making stren uous efforts to lock the barn door, now that the horses have been stolen. In other words, after stoutly denying for years that there was any possibility of a leak in thebu reau of statistics, the St-cre t a r y and Chief Statistiun Hade have discovtred numer ouu ways in which the specu lators may be given advance information of the official crop reports and the Secret a ry has demised a supposed method of preyentingfurther leaks but one which would oc cneion amusement, if it did not call louder for pity from every practical biiainess mail The Secretary nttempts to exercise personal Hiiperyiaion over the crop reporting to an extent which shall make leaks impossible and promis es to himsfU to stand over his guileless statistician while the final estimates ar? being prepared. Of course this scheme will not prove practi cable. The Secretary of Agri culture is too busy a man to devote himself to the petty details of hiadeportmentand and especially the details of his department, and especial ly the details of a single bu reau. Even since the rascali ty of Holmes and the incom petence of Hyde have been demonstrated, the Secretary on tb? otie occasion when it becameneces8arv to tabulate' the totals of a drop estimate found himself too busy to sti ppfvise the work and had to delegate its supervision to the Assistant Secretary who looked on hopelessly, not un derstanding the least thing that was going on around him and as liable to be made the prey of any designing and dishonest employe as has been Chief Hyde, perhaps more'so. Secretary Wilsoli, whose honesty no one can possibly question, seems utterly to lack appreciation of the grav ity of the scandal which has arisen in hid department. He has taken no steps to disrtiisp or even to suspend John Hyde while Hyde's Rureau is being investigated. He has even appointed as successor to Holmps a man who, the recent investigation demons strated, left bis office on two different oncasions when fi nal crop reports were being compiled nnd went directly to a broker's office. This innn claims that hn went to t h e broker to ascertain the quo tation on steel stock of which he owned a block but there are few successful busi" ness men who would employ in a capacity of so responsU ble a character as .that lit Id by Holmes, and now by his successor, a man who would dabble in stocks nnd even leave his office at a time when he must have been in posses sion of information of great value from a speculative! standpoint to go to a bros ker's office. A man with so little sense as to incur such appenran?o ofeyil, if not hon cstf mut bo too aen?elee3 to be trusted. The President has caused a report to be sent out from Oyster Bay to the effect that he has no intention of asking for the resignation of Secretary Ifilson and added that Mr. Wilson's only fault is that of po.ssessine too con fiding a hatuie. Mr.' Wilson, according to the President, is so honest that he is utiwil ling to believe any of his em ployees dishonest. The late Postmaster (Jeneral, Henry C. Payne, was of a somewhat similar nature and he stood by the "Prince of Grafters Machen, and by Machen's partner in crime, Beavers, and talked of thechnrges a gainst these thieving employ ees as "hot air" until h i s course became intolerable to the administration and only the political exegencies of the Republican party saved him from dismissal. Will the President have the force of character to insist on the sort of railway rate legislation which he outlined in his message to the last se sion of the last Congress in the face of the almost unani mous opposition of the lead ers of his party? This is a question which eyery true friend of the people is asking with more or less anxiety. The question is precipitated just by the confidential state ment sent to the railroad managers by their subsidized press bureau to the, effect that the President has seen the error of his way and will make only a half hearted ap peal for the railway rate leg islatibn next session, and will make nothing but the pretense of a fight for what he has hitherto described as "essential to a square deal to every American", public control of "the ironed high ways of commerce," It is only just to say that the President has not given the slihlest indication of any intention of abandoning the campaign he begah aU most a year ago, but the con fidence of the railroads that he has doiie so has occasion ed nnxiety. The railronds are not missing any opportu nity of accumulating amnrii tioh with which to defeat the President. They are working constantly on members ol Congress with the purpose of lining up a majority ngainst railway rate legislation and it is alrea'dy obvious that the only hopo which the Pres ident can have of success is thought a coalition of all the Democrats and a majority of the Republicans. It w i 1 1 take a brave man to wage a war of that kind from the White House and even the dangers of San Juan Hill will pale into insignificance as compared with the on- slaught which the Republi can Senators and Represen tatives are preparing to make on the Chief Executive. One of the first fruits of the war between Russia and Ja pan ia reported by by United States Consul Harris, at Na gasaki, who states that a line of fast steamers is about to be put in commission be tween Japan and Corea and that when thi w Hccomplish ed the traveler. can make the trip from London to To kyo with scarcely 12 hours on the water. Everything points to a lasting pence as the result of the coming con ference ind a peace which may be productive of most beneficial Results to both belligerents." INDKIESTION CUR Eb There is no case of Indigestion, DyHpppsia or Stomach Trouble that will not )'ield to the digestic and strengthmg inllueuce of Kc dol th-Bpepsia Cure. This rpmedv takes the strain off the stomach by digesting what you eut and allowing it to rPHt until it grows strong again. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure affords quick ard perma nent relief f.om Indigestion and all stomach tioubles. builds up I he system and so purines that disease can net nttact and gnin a foothold as when in a weaken ed condition. The constantly in creasing saiesof Kodol Dyspepsia Cure by physicians of hospitals and general practice of itself tells how this most wondertul modern discavery has proven to be the greatest uignstant for the allevi ation of n suffering humanity.

A Raleigh small boywns a musing himself with a Jane bug in the usual way with a string tied to the bug's leg By and by the bug flew into the boy's moUth nnd went down his threat. Then that youngster lifted up his voice and alarmed the neighbor hood. After he was quieted the bug was pulled out of h throat by the string which was still attached to t h e insect's leg. l3x.

P. ionrt ttntti Mr. Editor: On the 14th ult. it was my pleasure to attend the Pal ouse Association at Garfield, Washington. Eight of us, all from North Carolina, werit through the country by prh vate conveyance from Willa da to Garfield, a distance of 35 or 40 miles. Nearly the en tire distance isonesolid wheat field, which is fine, except here nnd there a piece of land which is "summer fallowed," the Wheat would be solid. We stayed two uights with Mr. Hiram Gragg dnd his kind and clever wife. They are typical southerners in hospitality. They h a v e a beautiful home six miles from Garheld, and also about 1,000 of rich wheat land. A North Carolina man or wo man finds no warmer wel come anywhere than at Mr. Gragg's house, provided they are honest und repected them Selves. The Association gave all the delegates and visitors dinner and supper in a large hall. I think about 100 peo ple ate at the same time at one) table, The good w o menbrooght provisions from their homes in town and country and prepared it in the building where we ate. Each day the meal was nice enough for a king. At night we all went to homes wheie wo were assigned and slept and ate breakfast with the family. When the Washing ton people undertake any thing, they don't do it by halves, but they make it a success, as a rule. There are three sermons preached at tne Palonze Association. The Introductory , the Missionary and a dodtrinal sermon. It fell to this scribe's lot this year to preach the doctrinal sermon. I did not preach oh baptism and close commun ion, but on justification and snnctifkation. I met many of my old acquaintances, I met Mr. Ev. Sherwood. He looks well and I think Ed is trying to live an upright life. I visited M;s E. Rrown. whom many in Watauga know. She has n nice home, but a dc"p shadow rests up on her life on account of her husband's misfortune. 1 am glad that my good friend and brother, J. J. L. Sherwood fins visited the Middle West. Although Mis soun seems to us as n e a r to North Carolina. May God bless Brother Sherwood. As a brother 1 ha ye entered in to the private life of brother Sherwood and know some thing of the deep sorrow that has been his for years. There will be no sorrow or disap pointment "oyer the riyer." 1 want to thank the genial editor of the Democrat for his courtesy in sending me his paper. It is welcomed in our family as a letter from home nnd friends. We have had fine showers ately and the prospects for heavy crops was never bet ter on the coast. Does JJro. 1. W.
