It is Intimated that all sorts of in teresting Information about the post olllco investigation will bo given to the public before long. At .present, howover. there is nothing to say. It is rather noteworthy that before President Koosovolt came out of the West, full of ardor for reform, things were happening all the time in the postoDlce department. Air was blow ing into musty closets, dry bones were rattling, heads were dropping, anil there was a race between indict ments and resignations. On the president's return all this stopped short. Since he took charge there havo been no resignations, no indict ments and no new revelations. This change, wo are told, means that the work of Investigation is pro ceeding with redoubled energy under ground. Justice has temporarily laid asido her sword and gone to burrow ing with a diamond drill. There is every disposition to credit this explanation. Only It will be well for the administration to remember that at some stage of the proceed ings It will have to come to tho sur face anil resume triendly relations with the forco of publicity. Failing In this, the people will begin to say things that might havo an unpleasant affect upon tho president's campaign for re-election. I AMERICA'S BEER BILLS. Fifty two years ago the average American drnnk 4.0S gallons or vari ous things that aren't water but aro more or less alcoholic. .More than half 2.23 gallons for every man, woman and child was whiskey or brandy. Now only 1.20 gallons por head of distilled drinks aro used, but tho In creaso lu beer and light wlnos has brought tho total of alcoholic drinks up to 10.48 gallons. Ileer alone ac counts for 17.10 gallons. Tho Ameri can of today gets not quite as much pure alcohol us his grandfather, but he takos more malt and hops and water mixed with it. Illinois makes more whiskey than any other state, but Now York is long on beer. This Btate brews al most threo times as much of tho am ber fluid as Wlsconslu, including of course, Milwaukee. "Imported wines" aro far more largely drunk than thoy were 10 years ago, if you tniHt tho restaurant "pro grammes; only thoy aren't really imported. Tho imports of foreign wines in 1893 woro worth $10,000,000, in 1902 only $8,000,000. Ask Callfor nla why this shrinkage RUSSIA'S ARGUS EYE. In the llusslan postolllco a watch ful oyo is kept on all newspapers and niagazlnos, and any matter of- flclnlly considered objoctlounhlo la ruthlessly "blacked out." A slmllnr survclllnnce Is extended to prlvato correspondence. The task thus un dertaken Is a gigantic one, but tho llusslnn offlclnl system 1ms proved Itself equal to tho undertaking. In every postolllco of importanco there are officials who form what is called the "Black Cabinet," whoso duty it is to examine- tho letters re ceived. According to tho system fol lowed In tho Moscow postoQlce, all the letters are handed over to tho Dlack Cabinet." Then one official sorts out all those which nro address, ed to suspected families, another nil those addressed in suspected hand writings, while n thlid nrrnuges the remainder in little heaps, and thou tiiiWH at random sovetul letters from each heap. All tho letters selected In those various ways arc then opened and examined. In this Ingenious way tho llusslan government strives to keep a contin ual chock on tho free intercourse of Its subjects, and It Is not surprising that "underground" means of com munication have been developed. The Juno number of tho Home maker contains the following bitter arraignment of the land transactions of the government, during tho past year: "About 25,000,000 acres of pub Us lauds have passed from the government Into prlvnto hands dur ing the piesent fiscal year ending June 30th. It has been stated that fully three-fourths of tho entries un der I he laws named are of such a na ture that they would not bear close inspection. Considered In tho light of the spirit In which our land laws were enacted, they are frauds. Many of them are the grossest kind of steals. Here, then, are millions of acres of the government's best land acquired through fraud and perjury. Irrigated and made Into homes for American citizens It would be of In estimable worth to the nation." An Item from North Yakima tells of a man who raised this year 120 crates of strawberries, which ho sold for nearly $1,500, on three acres of ground. Ho also raised other varie ties of berries and fruit In largo quan tities. What he lias done In this re spect, or something nenr It, many other men can do, on small tracts of land not only In the Yakima valley, but In other localities In the Pacific Northwest. A small tract of the right sort of soil, well utilized, Is more profitable than a big grain farm. On Weston mountain, In Umatilla coun ty, tho acreage of strawberries has been increased 50 per cent in tho past year and a still greater Increase will be made next year. Kvery small farmer finds this fruit to bo tho most profitable adjunct to the farm. Umatilla county roads are at the right stage to bo covered with straw, now, before the dust becomes deep er. The continued rains of tho past two weeks have kept down tho dust and a small amount of straw will now make excellent roads for harvest. Very llttlo work applied right now will save a great deal of valuablo time later on. FIVE MILLIONS A MINUTE. In a grimy garret in a London slum tnoro died tne otnor day ouo to wnom Stray Stories rofors as "tne only man who over succeeded In losing $25,000, 000 In llvo minutes time." Stray Stories unfolds the interesting tale in this way; "Ills name was Henri Till bault. For years prior to his death he had oked out a precarious subsis tence as a translator and teacher of languages. Yet 13 years previously he bad been tho prlmo mover In tho great copper corner, the collapse of which shook off its foundations thoi French financial world. Thlbault'sj Idea wus secretly to buy up tho world's available supply of copper and wait for tho Inevitable rise. Hoi cuinu near Hiicctuiiing. r rum 111s in flee In Paris bo controlled through his agents tho markets of London, Mer lin and Vienna and in all of them he purchased overy pound of copper thai was offered. "The result was quickly apparent. On July 1, 1887, H. C. B.'s' (best Chill bars) were soiling at $200 a ton. By Juno 1 thoy had. risen to $200 and tho rlso continued steadily until tho mid dlo of December, 1888, whou tho tin-heord-of price of a fraction over $500 a ton was being asked anu obtained, Then camo tho collapse. Thlbault had sunk iill his own money in tho venture, all ho could borrow, all ho could beg, nnd hIIU, from all sorts of odd and unoxpecteil corners of tho world, copper camo pouring in, As soon as he ceased buying ho had, of course, to commonco selling, and this hastened and accentuated tho inevi table end. Ily March 1 tho prlco had dropped to less than it was when Thl. bault commenced operations.

The greatest effects of thu dermal) elections must bo upon tho position of tho emperor himself, It must re veal, In part nt least, to William II, that his charm and tho charm of his Ideas for his own subjects are less than had been imagined. He 1ms dis coursed to them of his dlvino right, and has been rewarded ofton with ap plause; but tho applause has uover been quite sincere. w Tho emperor has In effect been suy lug for llvo years, "I am tho state," and a third of his people now answer, "The state Is not to our liking." It is quite possible for tho emperor Is able, though ho usually learns only from tho thoughts which nrlso in his own mind that he may benefit by the rough lesson, and rellect less on his grandfather's and more on his father's example. Think what tho general vote would hnvo been had the Rmporor Frederick been reigning until today and had asked from his people formal approval of his policy Hon- Ilobol, at least, would havo led no party, and the crown would havo carried Its measures by acclaim, In stead of by little bargains with groups on whose subjects, as In the Agrarian case and the caso of the Centre, It secretly looks askance. If, howover, the emperor has not learned his lesson, he will find in the next five years, If not before, that a policy which In a mllltnry monarchy breeds socialists at the rate of 200, 000 a year has In It none of the ele ments of permanent success. Courts are like churches they must make converts or thoy cannot live. Tho Hohonzollerns havo made them by the million In their past history, but tney are not making them now. New York World. UNLUCKY PETER. The Christian name of Peter has never been fashionable among nion arehs.

Pedro tho Cruel of Castile and Leon was slain by bis brother in single combat. Peter the Great of Hussln was guilty of frightful excesses. His grandson. Peter II, reigned only three years and died of smallpox at the age of 15. Peler III was dethroned and strangled by conspirators. Peter I. of Sorvin, has already a brutal mas sacre behind him.
