escape OF the Infamous Icist. Who Was
ENpe.ed ny Socialist.


PoTrspAN. Oct Ia The disciplinary
court today tried ex-Chancelior Lest.
formerly German administrator of the
Csmeroons disirict IN West Africa. The
court acquitted Lsis: OF causing a mutiny
oil native troops, but he was con-
vt.sed of abusing his authority and
immortality. lie Was condemned to be
transferred 20 a mino. post and have his
salary reduced one-fourth. The charges
brought against ex-ChancelloE Leist
were OF the most startling char
acser and attracted wide attention
IN March and A2rll last For instance.
socialist newspaper of Berlin In
April published extracts from the
diary of a German resident OF the
Cameroons. among them being statements
tending 10 show thar Herr Wehlan,
the governors substitute. who led
an expedition against the natives,
issued an order TO his subordina,es direct
ing them to cut the shroats OF all the
women who fell into their hands. The
other natives who were unfortunate
enough TO be captured we're conveyed on
shipboard. where they were bound TO the
rail OF the vessel, the chains which
held them being drawn so tight that in
swell they cut deep into the legs and arms
OF the prisoners. who were poorly pro-
tected and exposed TO the tropical heat.
with their wounds fostering and breeding
maggots. The frantic appeals Of the
prisoners for water we're brutality refused.
and when the captives were half dead,
they we're shot down like wild beasts.
Leist was also charged with logging
native women, which act led to
the revolt of the troops. during which the
latter broke into the government house
and shot down judge whom thew mis-
took for the assistant governor. For this
about twenty-five of the rebels were
afterward executed Herr Leist was re-
called on an appeal. with a summons from
the government ordering him To- sur
render himself TO the authorities in Berlin,
and perhaps to defend the accusations
made against him.
Liest denied that the logging of women
was the immediate cause of the mutiny of
native troops. He admitted the truthful
ness of the charges of immortality as
regards native women, and said he
had made the latter perform their
native dances before him. The public
prosecutor, who went to the Camcroons to
inquire into the affair." addressed the court.
declaring that Leist had set all moral
principles at defiance.
LONDON, Oct. ia Berlin dispatch to
the Times says the extraordinary Judgment
IN the Leist case. which virtually admits
that Leist was justified in logging women,
may be good Law, but il certainly will not
be Endorsed by public opinion.
A dispatch TO the Post from Berlin says
the result of the trial will be received
throughout the empire with storm of
bitter ind gnation and angry derisIon. Ii
will strengthen the socialistic cause.

Policemen and the Drama.


If anybody appreciates the drama, it is
your policeman. AT theaters where he
is ON duty at night he cannot always see
all of play himself. He must parade
up and down about the entrance for a
time, but it goes hard if after the throng
have taken their seats he does not slip in
and enjoy the aesthetic surroundings and
tie superb delineations of human emo
ton. He not only enjoys this himself,
but he brings his family and all his rela-
tives to become thoroughly educated in
dramatic art. This is well. Nothing is
better than that people should learn in
their youth to be judges Of high art, not
to say high kicking. Your guardian in
blue steps up jauntily to the box office
and says to the ticket man, Say, I'm
on duty here tonight" Then he gives
little ahem and proceeds to remark:
Say, I've got me sister here wild her
chicks. It's all right. hey?"
Usually it is all right, for policeman
on duty is a greater man than the presii,
dent. But some theatrical managers
are very unreasonable. They actually
object to deadheading whole families
night after night simply because these
job lots of humanity are kin to police
man. In all the cities of this country
the practice of giving free entertain
ment to police parties at theaters is the
vogue. Some of the managers are so
obstreperous as to say they will not
stand it any longer. They vow to break
up the custom if they break up their
theaterS

Every mother wants her baby 10 thrive,
because a healthy child Is q happy child.
The question OF how the baby shall DO fed
Is demanding the attention. as never befofes
nor only OF the mothers In the land, but o.

II Is now realized how much the health Of

during the years OF babyhood. As the re-
suit OF the improper feeding OF the infant,
the vitality OF the child is impaired and he
grows mp weak and puny. In these days
when artificial food is being SO generally re-
sorted to for infants, the demand for sub
stitute for mothers milk has brought out
many foods for which great claims 6fe
made. Gustav Mellin, an English chemist
was the hrst TO discover and combine the
requisite properties necessary for an arti-
hciaf food, and with his discovery the
rational feeding or Infants commenced.
Mellin's Food Is the only perfect substitute
for mothers milk, and It has done more to
make babies strong and healthy than any
thing else that has ever been invented.
Mellin's Food Possesses all the requisite
heat and flesh producing and bone-forming
constituents necessary to give q child
health, yigor and vitality. Infants are ex.

nothing else can be retained upon the

GIVE THE BABY .
Ync New Jersey Senate.


The state Of New J,isey is different in
Is Sovrnme!t system from most others
in this Union. 1t has no lieutenant gov
ernor therefore no officer who naturally
falls into place as president of the SEN
ate. The senate elects its own president.
The people elect the governor, the gov
ernor appoints the state treasurer, secre-
tary of state and other state officials.
The misunderstanding and consequent
formation of two senates, both daily,
arose in part from these peculiar fea-
lures of the New Jersey constitution.
The state senate last year was Demo-
cratic. AT the fall election a majority
of the newly elected members We're Re
publicans. They expected to take their
seats at the beginning of this year. Here
an issue arose which is comparatively
new in the organization of state legis-
lature. Acting under the advice of the
attorney general of New Jersey, the
Democratic members of the senate, now
in minority in consequence of the fall
election, refused to surrender the organ
ization of the new house to the Repub
lican majority. They claimed that
state senate was, like the United States
senate, a continuous body" and that
therefore the right to organize the house
and pass on the credentials of members
belonged to them, the Democratic mi
nority.
Both senates organized, Republican and
Democratic Each avowed it would new
er givein. Undoubtedly members of each
body thought they were right Matters
went on thus for over two months.
There was nothing in the Jersey consti-
tuition to throw light on the matter. 1t
was finally referred to the supreme
court Of the state to settle whether a
state senate was like the national one-a
Continuous body"-and whether men,
bers that had been elected out of office
could hold over and organize the new
body and pass on the credentials of new
members. The court decided that they
could not-at least not in New Jersey.
Then the majority party entered into pos
session with the organization they had al
ready perfected, and all's well that ends
we'll.
The question is, however, an interest
ing one in parliamentary law. The same
question may arise in other states, and
the New Jersey example may now be
cited as precedent.

The stock Of surplus grain in this
country is slowly but surely being re-
duced. March /, 1892, there were $780,
600, 900 bushels of corn in store among
the farmers. March /, 1894, the amount
was only 100000, although the crop
i'll the two intervening years was only 5
per cent below the ordinary yield. Va
ried farming, owing to the low price of
corn during the past two years, will ac-
count for some of the falling off, but
after taking that into account there re-
mains deficit that can be caused in no
other way than by increased demand for
the corn for human food, In other
words, our population is approaching
the period when we shall consume most
of our cereals at home. Then perhaps
their price will never fall SO low again,
and the asriculturist will have better
times than he has now.
