These men will argue that the post office department ls "every man's" express company, and ls intended to put every citizen tn every part of the country on the same footing with every other citizen in regard to Vueans of communication anti carri age of merchandise, regardless of distance or cost of transportation. It is proposed to give the man liv ing 100 miles from a small town the same opportunities to gel goods to and from town as the man who lives 20 miles from a big ci'.y. That it can be done, and the post olfice de liar? nient make money in the trans action, is being strongly contended, v- In the past the post office com #jj?)iittee of the two bouses have taken the position that the postal service should be limited to the transmission of intelligence.

A series of earthquakes, varying In intensity, has swept over Costa Rica during the past 2 4 hours, doing vast damage, tho extent of which can only now be esllmated at more than $1, 000,000. So far there has been no report of losses of life, but the peo ple in the towns are panic stricken and are abandoning their homes for the hillsides. In all there have been more than thirty shocks, ten of these occurring between 12 o'clock last night and 3 o'clock this morning.

Washington, April 15.-Early this morning a host ot 70,000 interrogat ors, men and women, were turned loose in pursuit of the people of the United States In preparation for the thirteenth census. The body of enu merators ls considerably greater than the standing army. Tho enumeration will cover all of the 4 5 States a.id two Territories of the Union pro ocr and also Hawaii and Porto Rico. Alaska, the Philip pine islands and Guam will not be In cluded, as especial arrangements are made for numbering the people of those dependencies. Under the statutes governing the work, the entire enumeration must be completed within a month, and in the cities the work is limited to llfteen days. The mere getting of tho lu forma tion will cost the government $5,500, 000. Of this amount $4,500,000 will be paid to the enumerators and the remaining $1,000,000 to supervisors. Director E. Dana Durand ls counting on a roll of not fewer than 00,000, 0 00 names. This estimate is based on calculations of bis experts and makes allowance for an increase ac cording to the tendencies shown in the last three previous censuses. Watch for the Comet.

Cooper ls the prosMtutlon of a high and sacred olllce to the payment of a low political debt, lt is doubtful If in all American history there can be found a more brazen insult to public conscience or a dead lier betrayal of the law. If ever a State had cause for s'hante and Indig nation, it is Tennessee to-day. Through a long and Impartial trial Duncan H. Cooper and his son, Robin B. Cooper, had been convicted of the murder of former Senator E. W. Carmack. That conviction was up held by the Supreme Court of the State. Yet before the higher tribu nal bad fairly finished the delivery of Its opinion Governor Patterson, without the grace of a moment's de liberation, trampled the work of jus 'ice to fragments. Evidently the pardon was as coldly premeditated as was thc killing. Such acts were customary and ex pected among Asiatic oligarchs a thousand years ago. But among an Anglo Saxon people and under a Democratic government in the twen tieth century they are amazing, lt ls hard to say whether the boldness or the badness of this Governor's conduct ls the more conspicuous. One might have thought that prudence for himself, If not regard for his office would have deterred, or at least have delayed him for a respectable season. But before the words were out of the judge's mouth, before the decision of the court could be trans mitted, he stepped In, as Malcolm Patterson rather than as Governor of Tennessee, and freed absolutely a man convicted of one of the gravest crimes against tho State. When politics supersedes law, when political" machines arc substi tuted for courts, thon surely the peo ple of a Commonwealth have cause to be alarmed. It ls true, according to the record, that Col. Cooper was a staunch ally of the Patterson camp and a close friend to Mr. Patterson himself. No doubt Malcolm Patter son the man, owed Duncan Cooper n debt. But Malcolm Patterson, the Governor, owed the State a duty. That duty, according to every evi dence, he has audaciously flung away. He has re-enacted in the State's Capitol the very lawlessness which he condemned through regi ments of soldiers In the region of Reel foot Lake. lt ls from such ofllclal acts that bloodshed and mob rule take their rise. < Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTO RIA ?-# --- Table Knife in Stomach.

The HeavieHt Tax Suffered by tho ! American People. Crime costs Hie United States $100,000 an hour. The yeal ly cost of crime In Ameri ca ls estimated at $ i ,37:1.000.000. If crime could be checked abso lutely for eight months the saving j would pay the national debt, $964? 000.000. The annual imports of the nation are $100,000,000 less tu value than the cost of its crime. American gold mines yield less than half the nation's annual crime I expense. Tht market value of all the horses, sheep and cattle In the country is about the same as the annual crime bill. The coal, wheat and wool pro duced annually In this country repre- ; sent a value about the same as the j actual cosl ol' crime. These ligures are quoted fro pi an article by Hugh C. Weir in the World To-Day, and should command : the attention of every business man and woman of the nation. The cost ol' crime ls appalling. Why must the well-behaved elli- ' zens of America be burdened with (axes to mee such expenses? asks the Nashville Tennessean. Why is it that ten thousand per- ' sons are murdered annually In the I United States? Why is il that only two murderers ' out of every one hundred are pun ished ? j Why are there four and one-half ' times as many murders for every one . million inhabitants as there were ! twenty years ago? The answer is simple. Crime protection has become an ? established business in the United States. ! Burglars, pickpockets, bank rob- j hers, smugglers, white-slave dealers, and illicit liquor sellers have their ! machines for defense, and to the j great discredit of Hie American peo- j pie these machines are almost Identi- I cal with political machines In many places. Thousands of so-called lawyers do nothing but protect such criminals. Police officials are corrupted und bribed at great cost. Even courts are bought and the political ma chines of great States are in the hands of such criminals. Every year there is an increase in ! the amount of lawlessness In the United States. lt is estimated that 250,000 per sons pursue crime ns a vocation, and are never touched by the law in this country. What Improvement can be ex pected when courts are plainly with in the power of criminal gangs? What hope ls there for enforce ment of the laws when a Governor stands ready to pardon criminals that engage lawyers who belong to his particular faction? Is it not time for the decent citi zens of the United States to organize and cut down the nation's crime bill? State of Ohio, City of Toledo, Intens County. Frank J.

Fraser, Chief in Dalry Husbandry, University of Illlonls.) This is nu age of great advance ment and development. New records are being made and new marks of progress are set In many lines, and the production of some of our best dalry cows ls no exception to the rule. Such marvelous yearly records have recently been made, and lt ls worth while to call the attention of the gen eral public to them and point out their real significance. The last great achievement is Hint of the Jersey cow, Jacobn Irene, be longing to A. O. Anten, of Jersey county, Illinois. This cow produced In one year 17.253 pounds, or nearly nine lons of milk, and 1,112 pounds of butter, or ?t little over three pounds per day. This ls an official record, made by a representative of the dalry department of (he Univer sity of Illinois, and has broken all Jersey records; only one other cow in the world has a higher record for one year, but, taking her average pro duction for four years, Jncoba Irene stands absolutely without ah equal. This ls over four times the produc tion of tho average cow for Illinois, and seven times that of Hie poorest cow in Illinois. There are 250,000 poor cows In Illinois, so poor that it would take 209 of them to equal one such cow as Jncoba Irene in actual profil. How much easier to milk one such cow Iban 200 poor OHOB. The first would be play-the latter drudgery. During this year she would have supplied 80 people with the average amount of milk consumed per capita, and furnished cream for their coffee besides. Thia was rich Jersey milk, containing five and a half per cent of butter fat. and worth for direct consumption, at least eight and a third cents a quart, amounting to $635.GO a year. A dairyman would need only four such cows io suppl) milk for " the average-sized milk route, make him a good living, and j have an excellent profit besides, if ' one could be so fortunate as to own 10 such cows, he could have a nice little income of $0.535 a year. Thc 17,253 pounds of milk produc ed by Jacoba Irene during the year contained 714.65 per cent, or 2,527 pounds of total milk solids. This shows something of tho perfectly enormous amount of work done ;<y this efficient dalry cow In one year. Compare this with the work done by tho average steer, weighing 1,100 pounds at tho age of two years. When born, he will weigh closo to 100 pounds, Thus, In the two years of growth he has actually produced 1,000 pounds of carcass, only one fiflh, or 200 pounds, of which is edi ble dry matter. This means that Jacoba Irene produced as much edi ble solids in ono year as would 25 street's, thus certainly establishing, by a good margin, tho world's rec ord for a cow of any breed.

Washington, April 10.-Halley's comet was seen here to-day for the first time on Its present visit, those favored with this primary view being Pror. Asaph Hall, of the Naval Ob servatory, and his assistant. It was about 4.110 o'clock in the morning when through the big 26-inch tele scope at the observatory, they ob tained a sight of the wanderer of the heavens which for the past three quarters of a century bas been hid den from the eyes of the Inhabitants of this globe. For about lf> minutes the comet remained visible. In about three weeks, when the comet, will be visible to the naked eye, it will rise two hours and 40 minutes before the sun. To-day lt ea me up an hour ahead of the great luminary. The comet, therefore, will be visible for a longer and longer period (?ach day. although those who wish to see lt will be obliged to rise early. P <pular apprehension regarding harm to the earth and Its Inhabi tants during tho visit of the comet I to this portion of the universe ls un founded. A statement, Issued to night by Willis L. Moore of the wea ther bureau, says that the result of a collision between the earth and a comet would depend upon the mass of the comet, the velocity of the bodies and the angle of Impact, but that in the present case a collision would be impossible owing to a safe ty margin of some 13,000,000 miles between the tracks of the earth and the comet. The tall of the comet through which the earth probably will pass will be noticeable only ns an abso lutely harmless luminous ga? or dust. It may produce electrica! and mag netic effects that can be detee.ted only by self-recording Instruments. Every family, and especially those who reside in the country, should be . provided at all times with a bottle of Chamberlain's Liniment.
