Vim the energy that he hue displayed throughout hi ecclesiastics cm-em, the pope lias begun some Important reforms, especially in the adminiiit.re.ttnn of Vatican finances, which jromia greatly 1o reduce the exjiensei of the Holy Bee. The firm inkling the employee of the Vatican hud of the spirit of economy animating Plus X M in the suppression or reduction of the feee usually granted to them after the election of a ne pope. Only the several military guard of ail the servants of the Vatican, received their distribution of money and only in greatly diminished proportion from the usuages established far cent ur lee The Noble Ouards, hb well an the Swiss and the Ceuodiinnri received only two thirds of 'ahal they expected., and there ai much arumlhna in consequence. The climax wu reached when the pope expressed hie intention of doing away enurely eith the Swiss guard in the near future, not only because of hla dislike of ornamental display, hut especially for reasons of economy. If hla lnientlona on tine point were carried out. the Vatican would see the disappearance of one of ita most picturesque attractions, the uniforms especially deaignrd by Kapbael at the com mand of Julius II. Plus X intenda also to reduce grestly the number of the Noble Ouudi Palatine guards and Pontifical gendarmes, beside dismissing from service many useless em ployes of the Vatican museum and library, who, uuder the preceding administration, liad little to do besides drawing their aalarie.

The tote then took huld of the important guosituu of appointing their successors, and has established a new commission, in which he has placed one of the lay directors of the Bank of Italy as a practical business memlier. In order to understand the importance of the business transacted by this committee one must know that the dally expenses of the Vatican amount to about C.&UO that is snore than S5uu.0Mi jwr annum. This en ormous expense Includes the salaries of the cardinals, nuncios and envoy, the pay of the aeveral military bodies, the ex pense of the Vatican museum, library and printing office, and the salaries of the numerous paiials servants.

Tlie French writer. Count ft. Maurice, Is trying to use the recent rerussl of New Tnrk to receie a cargo of French wine as sn excuse to drive American insurance romps ni from France. Business circles are earnestly re gretting that the first enforcement of the new pure food law mttis-alad against France in the case of an importstlon f French wtne claimed to he adulterated with sali cylic acid.

Count Bt. Maurice earnestly advocates re prisals on the part of Franca, even sug gesting that the American Insurance crapa tiles be driven out- On this sun.lect he etld: "The decrees by which France permits American companies tn do business here are always revocable, and why should we permit French asvlngs to go Into the pockets of stockholders of American Insur ance companies, when America confiscates our merchandise and tries to ruin our ex ports. Let us then fipht back and hefrtn with these Insurance comjianlea " 7 "he count refuses to believe that the law was directed against Germany, which for a decade has persistently sought te exclude American manufactured products and other articles, pretending they contain strychnine, borscic acid and other adulterants discov erable only to German chemists. James W. Seymour, European manager of one rrf the big companies, says: "Of course, such contention Is absurd on Its face. Tfi ali rernsmiae he enlighten ment and hospitality of Frsnce in welcom ing friendly and honorable American com petition, which makes any economic war fare with France Impossible. Tlie count's statement that money paid by the French to American companies goes Into the pockets of American stockholders ts un warranted, as all these companies are mu tual and all profits tielnng to the policy holders, who participate lo them one way or another. The count also says French wine was excluded In the Interest of Cali fornia growers. In face of the fact that commercially the greatest amount of Cali fornia wine goes to Marseilles, where it is treated and sent through the world a French wine, it Is unlikely that any meas ures will be taken against tlie American companies, as they are too popular in France and the interest Is identical with that of the French policy holders. Business Americans hope the French will realize thst a small case, where no suspicion or un friendly bias could exist.

It contra venes all the natural laa-e of a city's growth. It was forced Into existence, not because men in the course of human prog ress found It convenient to meet and trade there, hut because M.

Tha official announcement of the greve condi tion of the lietr apiiarent to the Russian throne, end the fact that It is officially announced, is proof that for the time being, at any rate, h life is despaired of and hnngs forward the man next In succeasion. He is the can r e uncle, brother of Alexander III. Grand Xuke Vladimir, whaee Interview in the World at Homburg recently at tracted such widespread attention. Thou sands of people in Russia have for years looked upon Qrand Duke Vladimir as their next cxar ever since the Imperial nursery began to he filled with a succession of girl babies and never a boy and later It has liegun to be whispered about that Grand luke Michael Alexandrovttch, tha czar's brother, had numerous diseases, which were kept secret, but which might carry htm off at any time. "If he was quite well, why did he not marry?" the people have been asking for several years, last year It was said he was to marry touches Oeclle Augustine Marie of Mcklnhurg Scfcwerln, but nothing came of It. The heir apparent has been almost never seen in public, and, although ke Is pearly S. he has never had his turn establishment, like the other men of the imperial family. ven those younger and less Important than him self. The reason the people have given Is that he Is a weakling Tlie RuHslann would lie glad to see Vladlmlj- on tlie throne. He Is at present oommander-ln-chief of the army. He does not cars a rap what the people think of him; is rather bored by his position, te tell the truth. But the Russians adore him on that very account. They would welcome Vladimir because he would bring back the 'Yaee of giants." as they call the men of Alexander li s and Alexander Ill's families Tlie Russians would welcome Grand Duchess Vladimir, or Crand Duchess Marie Pavlovna. as she is known, for their ocarina for the same reaaons that they would welcome her husband- She 1s royal In appoaranoa, tall and stately, and beau tiful even now. although aba Is a grand mother. She was a Oermnn Ttinoaas -erf -he Iwast of Mecklenburg -Schwerrh. Both the grand duke and Grand Duchess Vladimir have the knack ff -doing things in an imperial way that pleases the people. The present czar, and the czarina especially, do not seem to know how to play the role. One day the czarina astonlHhes -everybody by spending a fortune on one gown. The next day she gets so economical that she sends for the milliners from Bt. Petersburg to bring her out the newest styles and then has her own maid talke the patterns off for her. so that tlie hats can lie made at home. She designs her own gowns, the setting for her Jewels, the patterns for her furs. Her subjects would think this vary clever, but she takes it uff the hill. Grand Duchess Vladimir Is one of the greet leaders of society, of course, and In the winter she gives small halls which are very exclusive and as brilliant almost as the court balls. But when she goes to the German or French watering places in the summer she is rather democratic, as is also the grand duke. They both like Americans and Introduced the American game of poker to- Bt.

President Cunningham of Nebraska, in his speech of acceptance, said it would be as much the object of the new association to Improve the service as to increase the remuneration of theme engaged In it. He pointed to the increasing number of resig nations as an indication that capable men Were becoming tired of such arduous duties at small pay. and said If there was no hnj of bettering the conditions of those remain ing, fee- members of the association would care to remain In the service. "We do not want to be objects of char ity, aided to maintain ourselves and our horse by contribution from farmer along our route," he said. "I know of many cases In which carriers must psy more than half of their income for horse feed and repair te their wagon, facie Sam should be ashamed te treat his servants lu euch a manner and liie people of both crty .aua country all over the land will endorse our fight for Improved condition." NO SESSION IN OCTOBER Pn eldest steeses-elt Absaaeas I era af falllag Ceagrcsa Together Be fere IJlectiea, OTFTER BAT. Sept. IS After mature consideration and consultation In person, and by mall with memlier of both the senate and the house of representatives. President Roosevelt has abandoned the sug gestion that congress lie called into extra ordinary session in October. The extraor dinary session which he announced many months ago would be held this fall, would be called according to present plans, to mem on November I. Notwithstanding that the suggestion of an October congress came from prominent senators who warmly advocated its adoption, the proposition wss not received with favor by members of con gress generally. The idea of a session In October was op posed particularly because it would oblige senators and representatives to leave their states and districts in the midst of cam paign, which lo many of them and lo their party was of vital Importance. No definite agreement has been reached as to the rhartcler of the financial legislation thai may be enacted at the coming session of congress. Indeed It is not certain that an agreement can be reached between the two branches of congress whereby any spe cial legislation can be enacted.

Massachusetts has bet, undergoing vi ciawitudes for more than i!D0 years, and v-t trie changes have oniy aflucd to iter aealtii and population, cine nidusrrv has given place io anuiber. ano each rtiaiilUng chanae has brought new developments and iulia ened hei progre,. Neprasks la larae enough in maae more than eight states like Masaaciiusnita. and when peopled like MaHsacnusetts would contHin more ttian 2fc,wn).bi t people. Nebraska is largs enougn to make more than seventy-hie siate like Rhode laiand. and a lien 11 sitati bm-ome )eopled like Kbooe Island shall have a population of more man Jfc.ttile tMIti or jieople. Tnase are nut idie con lectures nor utter impnaaibl lilies. In an early day it was said of Massachusetts that it was bleak and cold ana liarren. 'J ne farmer met with failure or but alight protit. As an egricu'tural state it haa aubstantiallv become a thing cf the past. But new ai" teipriae were dr-vclojmd , villages and lowna and coins were built; factories eeia stained and a great commerce waa U veioiied. and much wealth sccumu aterl All theae things acquire an immense and condensed population. Why mav not the changes come te Nebraska with "tlie chanc ing coiijiiiona that the future Is bound to bring The critic may say that Nebraska fines not have coal fields, but neither haa Muxes cliusett. The critic may sav that Ne braska has no raw materials for manu facture, hot neither has Massachusetts Another will say that ee have not the water power ..t Fall river, but mav not the Plstte river canal In time equal the Iioeer of Fall river? But linn It will lie that the electric currents alii take the place of coal fields and water power and electricity may lie gathered upon the prairies and plains and sandhill just as weli as at Iiui.ker Hill and along tli alley of the Connecticut.
