fears the disaster that will befall the
poultry of the southern portion of our

also stirred to violent activity by lots of
protests from his district against any

so.
The average price paid farmers for
eggs, he says, 'since the Mckinley bill
passed." is Is cents dozen, but before
that they only got Z or cents, and
sometimes as little as cents. for their
eggs. Mr.. Foster Is right as to prices,
but wrong as to his line of division.
Eggs were drug at three cents dozen
fifteen years ago, but since about 1888.
when the practice of packing and pre-
serving eggs came into vogue in that
section of the state, eggs have rarely
fallen below shilling, and that would
probably be'their average for the year
for ten years past. The Mckinley bill.
with its tax of five cents a dozen, has
not affected the average price, either to
raise or decrease it.

ton of public affairs in the city.
An ordinance relative to pawnbrokers
is pending in the city council and has
passed one branch of that body. On
the SuppoSition that II had passed both
branches the p. p. appears to have
written veto message fer the m ayor to
sign. While the mayor relied upon the
z. z. to supply him grammatical veto,
he had sufficient wit to ascertain that
the proposed ordinance had not passed
both branches of the council, and con-
Sequently withheld his veto from the
meeting of the assembly Tuesday night i.
In writing the veto for the mayor the
P. P. had retained all advance copy"
and put it in type, and rather than lose
the cost of the composition it published

SENATOR DAVIS TRADE.

Senator Davis has faculty of taking
a single drop Of thought and blowing it
into good-sized bubble of talk. His
long TRADE about the presidents Hawai-
ian message can be condensed into the
expression: He was too slow. Com
pared with the haste with which his
prepecessor moved, the motion of the
president was certainly slow, but it
was just as we'll to go slow after the
''incestuous haste" of Harrison's pro-
posed elopement with the Sandwiches.
The senator's own experience should
lead him to approve of deliberation.
His impetuous disdain of the tedium of
figures has, on several occasions, led
him into slippery places where his floun-
derings did not comport with senatorial
dignity. We need only recall as in
stances, his appalling picture of that
torrent Of Saskatchewan wheat which
was to drown our wheat fields If the
tariff dam was lowered, or the pride
with which he pointed to the rise in the
price Of farm products which was to
follow the Sherman silver purchase act,
or to those wonderful sheep of his
which sheered fieeces weighing some
seven thousand pounds each.

Corrupt Royalists Too Tough for

ANN ARBoR, Mich, Dec. 90 Mrs.
Meade, wife of Prof. Meade, of the
University of Michigan, and sister of
w. r. Castle, of Honolulu, the we'll
known revolutionist. in an interview
with representative of the Associated
Press today, said that her friend who
wrote her from Honolulu thinks that
Minister Willis became disguised with
the royalists as soon as he found what
position they held in the community
there. Mrs. Meade says she is a
Hawaiian. and that means as much
there as American does here, and
does not refer to colsp. Her whole
family are Hawaiians, and were loyal
to the monarchy of the dynasty of
KaInehameha. He was king. The
present royal family have none of the
attributes of royalty except lieentious-
ness and greed. The revolution was
not against monarchy. but against the
immortality ard corruption of the court.

GIBBONS ON LABOR.
The Cardinal Expresses Some
Queer Ideas.

LONDON. Dec. 21.-The correspondent
of the Chronicle sends long interview
with Cardinal Gibbons in Baltimore on
the labor problem. The leading arti-
Gle i'll the Chronicle on the inter
view says that the writer is glad
to learn that Cardinal Gibbons declares
it to be sound Catholic doctrine that if
the family cannot decently be main
tanned the state is irreparably injured.
But, the editor adds, Cardinal Gibbons
does not show any special moral
courage in his proposed remedies.
When reminded of such a blot on
modern industriaIism as the Standard
Oil company. and asked whether the
colossal wealth gained by such
tactics as have reached the Rookie
fellers, for instance, is not the
fair prey of enlightened community, his
emlnence replies, 1--WE cannot go
back on what is done" If this doctrine
is to be taken literally, the Chronicle
says, all that is necessary to be done in
order to secure for your property the
defense of the Catholic church is just to
pile it up in the quickest way
you can. Such doctrine would
be fatal even. to the modest
reform of progression in income tax.
The cardinal dislikes strikes, so do we,
but better thousand times strike
than the preparation of injustice
which compels men to live below the
standard of decency. AS for the
coming conflict between American
Democracy and the Catholic claim
for the introduction of its
own religious teachings into the public
schools or in lieu of the demand for
money for the endowment OF parochial
schools, only one thing can prevent it.
namely, the withdrawal by the Catholic
church of its antedeluvian claim.
America is hardly likely to lag behind
France i'll such matter.

sCANNELL's LUCK POOR.
He Fails to Make Case in Mu-
niCiDal Court


The Oh argos of assault and battery
made by P. ID. Scannell, manager of the
St.Paul Herald, against John E. Hearn,
Patrick OBrien, William T. Young
and Owen Mulgrew was made the
subject of Judicial inquiry in the
police court yesterday morning. In
order to shorten the testimony
Judge Cory limited the number of wit
nesses on each side to six, and the case
opened with ScannelI on the stand.
The testimony given by Scannell was
that he visited the club room, where
the alleged assault occurred, on the
evening of Dec. z, between 9
and 10 o'clock. He was stopped
at the door and told that he would not
be admitted. Afterward he went back
and, finding no one at the door, walked
IN. He had entered and taken off his
hat when he was informed by the
sergeant-at-arms that he must leave the
room. He questioned the right to put
a Democrat out of Democratic
meeting, but was again told he would
have to leave. The Sergeant-at-arms,
w. T. Young, then made torcible DEM
Onstrations, and AWitnesS said he was
obliged to lay him On the floor. The chair
man of the meeting, j. E. Hearn, then
asked if the sergeant-at-arms would
do his duty, and with the assistance
of Mulgrew and O'Brien witness was
elected. In the struggle he had his
necktie and collar torn off, and lost his
diamond pin. On cross-examInation
ScannelI admitted that he had refused
to go out of the room, and had defied
the defendants To mt him ont With

Judge Cory dismissed the case, holding
that what force was used eXpelling Scan
nell had been justified. After the dis
missal of the case Scannell made an at

ANYTHING BUT THE ROPE.
Prendergast's Attorney Will Ac-
cept ANY Other Verdict.

Prendergast's Attorney Will Ac-
cept Any Other Verdict.
CHICAGO, Dec. 20. 1.-The defense in
the Prendergast trial is confident that
the fact that the jury was separated
when the members were allowed to vote
in the mayoralty election. for
successor to the prisoners vic
tim, will entitIe Prendergast to
new trial, if the case goes against
him. Attorney Wade said today that
there was no doubt that the separation
of the jury would give valid excuse
for taking the case to a higher court.
DR.. Meyer was called by the state
today, and the defense caused
sensation by claiming him as
it's witness. The doctor was not
in court when called, and bailiff was
promptly sent out to bring him in.
Several witnesses who had had business
dealings with Prendergast testified that
they considered him sane. At
torney Wade, of counsel for the
defense, created a sensation by
announcing in court that he
would accept any form of punishment
for Prendergast but the rope. Il will
not contest any other form OF a verdict"
said the attorney, land the prisoners
family will accept sentence
for life Imprisonment, or in an
institution for the insane. [ will
suggest such disposition of the case to
the jury, but the prisoner must not
hang. l will contest death sentence
in the higher courts. DR.. Meyer
did not appear TO give evil
dence upon either side during
the day. All the witnesses exam
ined gave evidence of minor importance,
and no strong points were brought out
either for or against the prisoner. The
attorneys DOW believe that by Saturday
all of the evidence will be in, and argn-
ments will be made during the early
part of next week.
