Gen. Franklin Says the Accommodation
for Old Soldiers Is Inadequate.
WASHINGTON, Dec, 9.-W B. Frank
lin, president of the board of managers
Of the national homes for disabled vol
unteer soldiers, in his report to con-
gress, said a graduated decrease is
shown in the cost Of maintenance Of
both the state and national homes. The
whole number cared for at all homes
was 40, AS, an increase Of 2,9O5, at an
average cost of SILL 60 per man. Appli-
cations for admission are more nu-
merous than ever before. Greater num-
bers of persons apply for admission
each year, and as they are nearly all
eligible it will be necessary for con-
gress to make additional provision for
their accommodation. 1t is estimated
that there are I54, 800 soldiers, any one
of whom may become a beneficiary Of
the homes.

Not long since a Lancashire laborer,
not feeling quite we'll, was persuaded
by his wife to consult a doctor. The
doctor, after making a thorough exam
ination of him, said there was nothing
serious the matter with his health, but
advised him to be more careful with
his diet, not smoke so much as usual
and, above all, to abstain from whisky
for little time. The laborer thanked
the doctor and was preparing to leave
when the doctor called him back and
said: 81 beg your pardon, but charge

During the peninsular war a number
Of English officers had established q
mess in a Spanish village, with native
cooks, whose efforts we're fairly salts
factory to the keen sppetites of the
campaiguers. They were joined, how
ever, by a certain peevish, cantank-
erous major, who bitterly complained
that every dish was favored with
sugar-after the Spanish fashion-and
quite UNBEATABLE. Finally he confined
himself to a diet of eggs boiled in
the she'll ''They can't sugar those, "
he cried triumphantly. But his
triumph was short-lived. Next morn
ing some mischievOus subs were at the
mess table before the major, and
emptied all the salt cellars, replacing
their contents with powdered sugar
The major soon appeared and, with
gloomy complacency, began upon an
egg, with which, as usual, he took
plenty of salt" At the first mouth
full his face turned purple with rage.

TIE kGhools of Histgriaus-The IdeaIist
snd the 3EatsFiaIist.
In discussing the question Of how
history is to be written, by the idealist
OF the materiaiist. a writer draws the
distinction between Tame and Carlyle:
There are writers-the late N.
Tame was brilliant example of them
WHO make Of history mere depart
ment Of physics, "eine refine Nsturge.
schichte. - as the Germans would say;
for whom the annals of the world are
noching more than a record OF necessi-
tated transformation aud movement,
and its sages, saints and heroes mere
puppets, 'impotent pieces ia the game"
played by natugal selection. There
are others-Carlyie may serve as their
Epokesman-who tell Us: Universal
history, the history of what man
has accomplished in this world,
is at the bottom the history
OF the great men who have worked
here. All things which we see
standing accomplished in the world are
properly the outward material result,
the practical realization and embodi-
ment of thoughts that dwelt In the
great men sent into the world" Now,
the difference between these two
schools has really its origin in the old
controversy between free will and de-
termination. The schools of which we
take Tame as representative is
strictly necessarian. 1t holds that the
political organism which we call ma
tiOn develops according to laws as alb
solute and undertaking as those which
govern the growth of a physical organ
ism. The schools to which CARLYLE be.
longed and which processes what Mr.
Spencer derisively calls "the great
man theory" practically accounts OF
will as the only reality and does not
sufficiently realize that freedom of voli
ton is limited pnd conditioued.-Lon

Kansas Legislature VIII Surely WrestIs
with the sChOOlbOok Problem.
TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. 4.-The legisla-
ture at its coming session will attempt
to take a fall out of the schoolbooll
trust. Several bills along this line are
now being prepared, and it is the in
tention at the proper time to formulate
one bill comprising the strong points
of each one introduced and secure its
passage. Those who are interested in
the downfall of the trust. so far as
Kansas is concerned, say that the only
way to accomplish this is to adopt state
or county uniformity of textbooks.

He Declares There Must Be Less Business
and More People In Politics.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The attention
Of Senator Quay having been called to
the interview of Thomas Dolan upon
the connection of business men with
politics, published in Philadelphia. said:
lam opposed to the entire scheme OF the Ma
tiOnal Business Mems league as disclosed by
Mr.. Do!an. Its basic theory Is that organized
wealth shall dictate high Office and so take
possession of the government It will be met
stubboTnly and overthrOWn. The promoters Of
this league invoke q class against the masses
and all other classes. No league Of bnsi-
ness men, or other men, based
upon wealth, OF other foundation, can erect
government class in this country. In the
United states senate we have millioRaires
and business men enough to serve all legiti-
mate purposes. Senators are needed who have
no specialties, but who will act for the inter-
ests OF the country in gross without special af-
finities, The people most deserving Of a repre-
sentatIon and most in need Of legislative protec-
ton are the farmers, the small storekeepers, the
artisans and the laborers, and I stand by
them and against this so-called league
I do not believe that ten per cent Of
the business men Of the country sympa-
thizes with the league. There must be
less business and more people in politics,
else the republic and the country will go
to wreck. The business issues are making our
politics soFdid and corrupt. The tremendous
sums of money furnished by business men,
reluctantly in most instances, are pOlluting
the Well-spTings Of our national being
