French Babies Drinking Wine.

.. Eli TefKlnS In CQlCdRO lTlDuu0.
Last year Paris consumed 1O7, ,426, 900 gal
Ions OF wine This was about forty seven
gallons for each person, or over pint a day
to each man. woman and child. 1t is very
common thing to see French mothers feeding
wine to the nursing babe. This lis why ba-
bies always look so sickly in France. In
fact, this drinking of wine in place Of milk
and water has changed the looks Of the
French people. 1t is seldom that you see
rosy-cheeked girl, and rosy y-cheeked, cherub
faced babies never. They all look sallow.
America has more beautiful women in Sa-
vannah, or Philadelphia, or Chicago than
there are in all Europe.
asked Mr.. Morton, our minister, what
else the Parisians ate, and he said
'They drink annually $4,000, 900 gallons Of
milk, or about two-thirds Of a gill daily to
each person. suppose New York consumes
five times as much Paris consumes annu-
ally 5000, 900 pounds of cotton-seed and olive
oil, and /, ,595 O2O pounds of horse-Aesh The
Parisians consume annually 3l2OOO,00O
pounds of fresh meat, or about one-third of a
pound daily to each person. They consume
nearly pound of bread a day to each per-
SON. So you see bread and wine is the chief
food of the Parisians"
What health, and strength, and beauty
would come to the Parisians if they would
reason little and change that pint of wine
daily to pint of healthful milk! A pint of
wine to gill of milk is hurting the French
nation. .--

LAWRENCE and Campbell, the dele
gates from Stark county, will publish a
card in to-day's Journal denying the
charge of the TRIBUNE that there is q
feeling Of opposition to Raymond in
Stark county. The TRIBUNE believes
that what is to Burleigh county's inter-
est is to Stark county's interest and
every other county in this vicinity. The
point the TRIBUNE raises is that there
are scores of men in the territory more
capable to represent Dakota than J. B.
Raymond. He has done as well as a
man Of his ability could be expected to
do, but the TRIBUNE believes in sending
q man to congress of more ability.

A FEAT IN JOURNALISM.
The Story of the Dispatch from Mar.
settles About the Epidemic.

seilles About the Epidemic.
1.-THE Journalist
On Sunday The New York Times published
a long dispatch from Marseilles giving
graphic and interesting picture of the cholera
epidemic in that and other cities. The tele.
gram filed several columns of the paper, and
was by odds the strongest feature of the news
of the days journalism in this country
The story of the sending of the dispatch is
as follows: Mr.. John c. Reid, the news
editor Of The Times, who had been i'll and
absent from his post for three or four days,
returned week ago last Thursday to the
Office. He had not seen newspaper during
the term Of his illness, and tho first thing he
noticed OH going through the papers that day
was the exceedingly unsatisfactory condition
of the dispatches concerning the cholera. He
suggested to Mr.. C. R. Miller, the editor Of
The Times, the advisability of telegraphing
for special information. Mr.. Miller, who is
a journalist of long experience and
high quality Of ability, at once
saw the advantage of covering tho field
thoroughly, and coincided with Mr.. Reid, who
sent a telegram costing $28.50 to Mr.. Harold
Frederick, the London correspondent of The
Times, telling him to engage the best man he
could in London and send him to personally
look over the cholera field in Toulon and
Marseilles. The business Office of The Times
Immediately telegraphed 100 pounds sterling
to MI. Frederick for the payment of the ex-
penses of the trip. No reply was received
from London until the succeeding Tuesday
when Mr.. Reid becoming exceedingly anxious
to know if his plans were being carried out
cabled for information as to what had been
done. On Wednesday he received !: dispatch
from Mr.. Frederick, dated Marseillcs
and saying: II have been here for
the past twenty-four hours, and shall
remain until I have fully covered the
subject There is some difficulty in sending
matter from France, and I may be obliged ia
defer my report until reaching London"
Mr. Frederick arrived in London Friday
night and on Saturday morning sent his
cablegram to The Times. The original dis.
patch as received from the telegraph com.
pany was shown to The Journalist writer. It
appeared in the paper was not padded at all,
and the only words added to it were the ifs,
ands, and offs, which would naturally be writ.
ten into any ordinary sheet on kilograms
The existence of the original telegram COM
pletely destroys the insinuation as to the
bogus nature of the cholera special.
Mr. Frederick's work may be looked upon
as particularly heroic piece of journalistic
enterprise Instead of engaging another man
to make the perilous journey as he was au-
thorized to do by The Times, he undertook it
personally, although in order to do so he was
obliged to leave sick wife and two children
in London.

rH E PIEGAN INDIANS.

h The condition Of the Piegan Indians
at Blackfeet agency is subject requiring
more than passing notice. That hun
dreds Of them have starved to death dur
ing the past year cannot be denied, and
E the question. is, shall this state of affairs
be continued under the sanction OF the
government during the coming winter.
The white man having encroached upon
the red mans territory and induced the
Indians to cease warfare under promise
of taking good care of them at the agen-
cies, the government is in duty bound to
fulfill its agreement. Gov. Crosby OF
Montana recently appointed David Ur-
quhart, Jr., to investigate the ,Blackfeet
agency and report on the condition OF
the Indians. He finds most lamentable
state of affairs. The barren county IN
which these Indians are confined is des-
titute of game, and nothing can be de-
pended on from the soil. They are de-
pendent entirely upon the government.
Since January LIST last the men and
women have received an average OF
triae over two pounds of beef aud two
pounds of flour per week, and their chill
dren half that amount. During the
winter the stronger Indians lived by
skirmishing the neighboring ranges and
picking up the putrid flesh of diseased
and frozen cattle. The amount of sup
plies for this agency has been announced
for the coming winter and the
agent instructed by the department to
issue under no circumstances more than
1-52d part per week. The COM
missioner Price, adds: "Under no Cir
cumstances will you be allowed to incur
a deficiency" Assuming there are 1900
Indians it has been figured carefully and
found that each Indian must live during
the coming twelve months on less than
two pounds of beef and three pounds of
-four week. The agent is now issuing
the rations on that basis. They last the
Indian but two days, and the rest of the
time, to subsist on berries and air.
What will be the result when cold
weather comes can readily be seen. The
physical condition of these Indians is
that of slow starvation, and the death
rate is increasing rapidly. 1t may be
that the government anticipates sue
cessful solution of the Indian question
by gradually starving them to death, but
the Indians have some rights that the
white man is bound to respect. They
have given up their lands, their hunting
grounds and their guns, and the least
the white man should do for the red
pioneers is to keep them reasonably COM
Portable at the agencies and let them die
a natural death. It would be more hu-
man5 to take them all out and shoot
them, even to the last man, woman and
child, than to treat them as they are now
being treated by Uncle Sam.

Emmons county and Mercer county
have both held their conventions and
selected anti-Raymond delegates. Nc
Henry county is the only one on the
Missouri slope yet to hear from, and it
may safely be reckoned against Ray
mond. Out of the counties of Burleigh,
with seven delegates, Morton, with five
delegates, Mclean, with two delegates,
Emmone, with two delegates, Logan,
with two delegates, McHenry, with two
delegates, Billings, with two delegates,
and Stark with two delegates nine
counties with twenty-six delegates, Ray
mond gets but one county, Stark, with
two delegates. Kidder had a convention
Saturday at which three delegates were
chosen and uninstructed, but as the call
was not made by the republican central
committee another convention will be
held. The two delegations will likely
both put in an appearance at Pierre.
Lounsberry and Rea agreed to turn over
this whole region to Raymond, and that
gentleman never thought it necessary to
confer with his friends regarding the
matter. The goods will hardly be de-
livered. As the TRIBUNE has before re-
marked Raymond has been downed by
his presumptuous office-holding friends.
Raymond goes back on the friends who
are able to do him best service and de-
pends on the ofice-holders for supporE.
The people are taking hand in politics
this year. -..r-..

why Sugar Is So Cheap.
FPh;laaelpiiia Record,

: t
Something has knocked the pricesof sugar
to a lower peg than it has ever been known
to go in this country, except once, and that
was long before the war. The best sugar
can be bought at retail at a little over : cents,
and granulated sugars, which are the STAN
dard, are quoted at 6I cents wholesale. The
brown sugars and the lower grades OF white
sugars are cheap in proportion. Spectators
are at their wits ends to know whether to
take the bear or bull end of the market but.
many operators do not hesitate to say that
prices have not reached bottom yet, and one
broker declared that he exIe@ted to buy
granulateti sugar at less than cents before
the end OF tie year This fall in prices has car-
tainly not been caused by any falling OH III
demand. The market never was So active,
and the consumption is enormous. In less
than a year it has increased one-fourtii,
and the United States are using over
25 per cent more sugar than they
dill last summer. At the same time the
stock OF raw sugar is greater than it was q
year ago. ),
Mr. William W. Frazer, Jr., of the Frank
lin sugar refinery, said yesterday, in expla-
nation OF the low price OF sugar, that it WAS
due to a combination ct causes, one OF which
was the recent modification of the sugar
Carltl, WINCH aCiilltS Tree OI uuty SIaue VI
sugar upon which previously an import tax
had to be paid. Tho tariff modification has
brought to the United States from South
America, the East Indies, and other points,
supplies which before did not reach us i'll
very large quantities. The enormous amount
OF beet sugar which has been recently made
in Germany has had great influence upon
the markets, and now practically rules the
sugar markets of the world. Some of tie
sugar is imported here, but nearly all Of our
supply is cane sugar, which comes to IL;
cheaper now because it cannot be sent to
Europe in competition with the beet sugar
made there, and thus, while we use little Of
the European article, it is a great source Of
benefit to American sugar consumers.
