I Henry St. George Tucker, president of the Jamestown Exposition is re ported as saying yesterday that he was confident that Congress would make an appropriation for the exposition. Secretary Shaw of the treasury yesterday appeared before tho house committee on industrial arts in oppo- sition to the passage of the bill which proposes the coinage of 1,0A0, 000 two dollar silver piece. I Women, it is true, are persistently ' and assiduously curious, but men also are not only persistently and assldu ously but persistently and systematl- callv curious. It is the character of female curiosity that makes It appar ently contemptible. Scientific men of every character have no ralson d'etre for their Infinitely patient research riositv alone, and their curiosity has no more rurpose In it than has tho curiosity of tho woman who can not rest until she finds out all discoverable facts about her neigh bors or tho cause of a mysterious sound by night. These two forms of curiosity, the fale and the female, originated no doubt In tho early needs of the race long before men appeared on the earth. The male animal is in terested In the causes of remote things things which, upon being run down, might turn out useful for food purposes. The female is Interested In the quick investigation of near and small things which may turn out a menace in the lives of her your.::.

It is simply using $240,000 a year to aid members in their cam paign work, and is no more justified than would be a like appropriation for the distribution of socks or shoes or tooth brushes. .The committee has acted wisely in lopping off this form of official graft, and the House can get its share of the credit only by sustaining the action of the commit tee. The Post is right. This distrib ution of free seeds should be stopped. The $240,000 so expended is practical ly money thrown away so far as the farmer is concerned. He receives them, it is true, but it is safe to say that in the majority of instances they are thrown aside and never used. Either they are seed for which the farmer has no use or he does not use them because he distrusts their quali ty. The 'sole gainers from this appro priation in recent years have been the jobbers from whom the seeds are purchased by the government. The House should sustain the action ol the committee in this matter. If it really wants to continue to help the agricultural classes of the country to the extent of $240,000 a year, let it provide for its expenditure in such a manner that the farmers will derive some real benefit from it in increas ed appropriation for the maintenance of experiment stations, for instance.
