THE QUESTION OF FERTILIZATION

IffE W ION UT GIEfAhA IION
Congress gives no sign of a purpose
to make any preparation for the defense
Of the country. Early in the session
Il bill was introduced in the senate
and referred to n committee which
provides IN appropriation for the on
struction and armament of seacoast and
lallecoast defenses. 1t is still in the
committee and so far as known has not
received any consideration. There has
been a good deal of talk, in and out of
congress, about the necessity of i'm
proving our condition for defense in the
event of a war, but nothing practical
has been done, nor Is there any earnest
promise that anything will be done.
senator Cullom said n few days ago that
the time had come for congress to take
Il war footing. He referred to the ac-
tivity of England's naval preparations
and said it would not do for the United
States to remain passive and console
her self with the idea that England can
not afford to go to war with this coun-
lIs' iHe bcSl way W tOlNilce ntT,
said Senator Cullom, that it will
be dangerous for her to attempt any
of her diplomatic tricks will be for the
United States to go right ahead and
make a practical demonstration of its
ability and determination to protect it.
self against any intrusion or any in
fringement upon its rights" There
would be no menace in pursuing this
course. 1t would be simply n prudent rec
ognition of Il duty to provide for self
preservation, and the effect would I'M
doubleday be 10 prevent rather thar to
cause war. There can be no doubt
that England's demonstration OF her
readiness for war has had a pacifcatory
influence upon Europe.
Justice Alvey, one of the members
of the Venezuelan boundary commits
sion, said in Il recent interview that If
issues of this sort are pressed by the
national conviction upon the govern
ment 1t is useless to talk about per-
forming our part without adequate in
strumentalities. He urged that we must
at once attend TO our defenses. Rear Ad-
mlral Gherardi said in an address a few
days age that in the event of HOSTILE

When Tesla gets his battery, and winks the

The man who gets his treatment, sir. will

No matter what his ills may be, or whence

He'll freshen up your tissue and renew the

He'll give you health and yigor with his

He'll renovate your system with a half a

He'll keep you always healthy, and, though

You're safe, because. II dying, he could

The yellow Dog in Politics.

Orally against the yellow dog in politics"
This was the substance Of Mr.. Seeger's speech
before the Marquette club, and we are sure
none of the gentlemen who heard 1t failed
to be impressed with the force of the homely
speech,
The yellow dog year is the ruin Of parties.
Every time a party becomes so strong that

ginning of the period when 1t cannot elect an

Chicago Yellow Pack.

CTICdBO IIIneS-1IeraId.
Yellow dog is the word all along the line
with the machine men. A yellow dog state
ticket, a yellow dog county ticket, yellow
dog congressman, yellow dog national con-
vention delegates.
A list of the prominent candidates" for
the Cook county Offices has been printed.
The pack has heard the cry. They come
from under the house, from the woodshed,
from vacant lots and alleys. Most of them
were once in office and were kicked out by
the people. They have lived off the Off
scourings of politics for three or four years,
holding little, inconspicuous political Jobs,
signing assessment rolls, acting as tip
slaves and deputy sherlffs or serving on
grand juries.
They are hungry. They scent food.

decline TO go on a yellow dog ticket. When
such a ticket bears one yellow dog II is

The experience OF both parties In this mat
ter Is fresh. The democrats have had their
yellow dog years with disastrous conse-
quences. Blanche, Tray, Sweetheart and all
the other yellow dogs OF low degree are In
full cry in the republican party OF this coun-
try at present. IL they continue to rule II
they will ruin Il.
There ought to be a political pound for
the political yellow dogs. And IT should not
be the capitol at Springfield or the house OF
representatives at Washington.

The Bee has shown Mt length wherein
the new schedules have raised the trans

Omaha market. The statement has
also been made by a man who thor
oughly understands the situation that
the switching fee tackled on as an arbi-
trary works an injury to this market.
Now comes a heavy stock shipper at
Tekamah, who Inns not only demon
strated the truth of these assertions, but
has found it far cheaper to drive cattle
between Omaha and Tekamah than to
ship them under existing rates. 1t is
a matter OF regret that our great stock

General Flagler, chief of the Ordnance
bureau, tells the senate committee on coast
desenses that, it will require $50, 000, 900 to
furnish the guns, mortars, ETC., for coast
defense projects that have been approved.
If that is the case no further projects
should be entered upon at present. The
country is in more danger of disaster from
extravagant expenditures by congress than
from an attack by a hostile power.

The News does not impeach the honesty Of
the senator's motives nor accuse him of
taking the standpoint of a partisan and at

point where he had unlocked various
parts of his clothing and gotten his body
In position for the descent on the other
side, when his gun slipped, the hammers
catching on the top Of the fence on the
