The cHocIAw COUNCIL.

TUsKAEoMA. L L., Oct. a6.-William
kiser was confirmed by the senate yester-
day as national inspector on the Frisco
railroad. The place will pay about s2,5oo
year. Very little business was transacted
in the council, as all the business OF the
session except receiving the reports of tie
different officers has been completed. Sew
eral committees are now at work.
The members Of the council were consld-
erably surprised when they were informed
that as a result of their action yesterday
in defeating the amnesty bill IA bill would
be passed by congress depriving them OF
any further jurisdiction in criminal eases.
Congress has been waiting to see II the
amnesty bill would be passed before ~
took any action. IL the Cnociaw coancii /
bad time before the day set for finai ad-
journment il would pass the bill yet. But
they will adjourn Friday noon and VIII

DR.. Wright, national agent, is having
considerable trouble with his accounts
The council refuses to accept them, and
passed a resolution instructiug the attor-
uey general TO institute suit against him
and his bopdsmen for the amount OF his
alleged shortage. He claims to have
turned over 10 ex-Ereasurer McCurtaiu
SIPS 800. while McCurtain claims that the
amount was less than $40, 600, aud threatens
to kill Dr. W right if he dispute it.
Governor Jones today appointed McCur-
tain as delegate TO Washington. The
salary Is 81, 7,000 year.

a DEMONSTRATES FACT.
The American Standard Of Living as Com.
pared with That of other Nations.

The American Standard Of Living as Coms
pared with That of other Nations.
The fact is not only demonstra bic,
but stands proven and unquestiored,
that the average standard of living is
higher in the United States than il
any other country in the world The
industrial masses, who embody the
vital forces of the nation and represent
its life and character, eat more and
better food than the toilers of other
lands, wear ampler clothing of superior
quality, occupy larger and better fur
nished apartments. enjoy higher oppor-
tunities for culture. and find open ave-
nues to advancement on industrial,
social, and intellectual lines. Every
statistical investigation of the compar-
ative condition of the worlds workers
brings into large prominence the phys
ical status Of our own people. 1t IS
shown that the meat consumption here
is more than twice that of Europe for
each individual, and fifty per cent.
more than that of Great Britain, the
nation which takes most OF the surplus
meat of this country. More than sew
enteen pounds of cotton per head, and
eight of wool, besides a liberal
quantity Of silk and linen, are required
for each individual, two or three
times as much as the aveaage in Eu-
rope. A country which contains less
than one-twentieth of the world in
habitants uses one-fifth OF the wool in
the world, and nearly as large pro-
portion of the cotton In other words,
the clothing required by an average
Yankee would clothe an average fam
ily of the other inha bitants of the
globe. This is not a guess, but dem
onstration, as the worlds supply of
clothing material is approximately
known. House room and furniture
share in similar Hberality of supply,
and are supplemented by ingenious APP
pliances for comfort and convenience
in housekeeping.
Educational facilities, public and pri-
vate, are extraordinary in extent and
variety, including all that is compre-
henGed between manual training ex-
ercises and postgraduate university
courses, availa BILE alike to the child of
fortune and the son or daughter of the
industrious laborer. 1t is possible for
the child of a common laborer to at
tain the highest honors of the uni
versity. as is constantly demonstrated
in comforting the highest scholastic de-
grees.-Dr. James Richard Dodge, in
