thereby destroying the foundation Of
the disease, and giving the patient

Cheering to sheepmen.

The business Of raising and feeding
sheep. like many other industries In
the West, is booming this year. says
the Kansas City Star. There is more
money in it than there has been for
years. The principal reasons for the
increased activity is the heavy de-
mand for mutton and the advance in
the prices for wool.
The consumption of mutton ls in
creasing rapidly. The Kansas City
dressed meat houses killed 60O,5S4
sheep from January l to September
IA. an increase of nearly 80 per cent
as compared with last years record
for the corresponding time. Prices
now are rs cents to S1.25 higher than
they were year ago, and the profits
of sheep raising have increased so
much that great many farmers are
going into the business. There is con.
stantly pressing demand for feeding
and stock sheep at the stock yards
This demand keeps prices high enough
to draw sheep from localities thai
have heretofore been considered trib-
utary to Chicago. Kansas City last
week received $4,000 sheep, mainly
from ranches in Utah, New Mexico
and Nevada.

DEAR SIR: By direction of Con-

is investigating the character and ,ex-
tent of the sd1lteratlon Of foods and
drugs. 1t Is generally believed that
sdulteration.. sophistication. imita-
ton and misbranding Of foods, drugs
and liquors exist to a very great ex-
tent. Many Of the States have ell
acted laws to prevent such practices,
and it is very desirable to know how
these laws have been enforced, and
with what results.
AS the general public is largely in
terested in this matter. as it affects
health, morals, and legitimate trade,
it is thought proper to ask the COOP
Grafton Of the press in securing &C.
curate information on the subject.
The publication Of a simple request
for information on this subject, to be
furnished the paper asking it, or sent
direct to the Chemical Division Of
the Department of Agriculture, will
in all probability secure a large
amount 1t valuable data which wall
materially assist in properly carrying
out the work. As no matter can be
of more Importance to the people of
the United States than of the extent
and character Of the adulteration
of foods and drugs sold them, take
the liberty of asking your co-opera.

EX-PRESIDENTS AS AMBASSA
DORIS.

Speaking of the report that Major
! Mckinley viii offer ex-President Har-
rison the English mission, if he has
not already done SO, General Lew Wal
lace, who was IN New York the other
day, said such an offer would be a
graceful tribute on the part of the
president-elect, but he doubted very
much if General Harrison would ac-
cept. He said they tried to induce the
general to consent to go into the United
States senate to succeed Mr.. Voorhees,,
but he would not yield to our entreat-
les, and Wallace does not believe he
would accept any office. and that the
ex-president desires simply to live as
private citizen and practice his pro-
fession. He further said there is just
one consideration that might induce
him to accept an appointment like that
of minister to England. If there should
arise some grave national or interna-
tional question he might conceive it to
be his duty to obey any call that might
be made upon him. At present there
is no prospect of such an emergency,
and General Harrison, in all proba-
bility, will remain in indianapolis.
Sending ex-presidents abroad as am
bassadors is a new use, so to speak,
for them. It is very doubtful if any
president ever has or ever viii suggest
such an idea to an ex-president; it
would hardly comport with the pro-
prieties governing their relations. Then
an ex-president, by accepting such an
appointment, would be very liable to
lose caste among diplomats, although
it is possible it might give him prestige.
On an extraordinary occasion there is
no doubt of this. as when some great
international question was to be con-
sidered and passed upon by a special
tribunal, some such question as the
Venezuelan boundary dispute. But for
an ex-president to undertake the
routine duties of an ambassador, to
be called upon most likely to urge the
adoption of a policy the very reverse
of the one he had adopted as the ma
tons chief executive, would be i'm
possible. If General Harrison would
not consent to become a senator he
Will not consent to become an ambas-
sador As a senator he could take the
initiative on any question, and urge
what policy he deemed best. AS an
ambassador he would have to urge any
policy that others thought best.
The utilization of ex-presidents as
ambassadors appears to be impractic-
able.

A SILVER VICTORY.


In the late campaign Mr.. Bryan and
the cause he stood for went down in
defeat, but not down in dishonor. 1t
is now no time to attempt its aggres-
sive agitation, for the people are
wearied with agitation and want rest.
But the seeds of free silver that were
sown last summer have borne some
fruit, and where it was hardly ex-
pected. The election of Mr. Richard
ROLAND Kenney as United States sena-
tor from Delaware is a signal triumph
for the free silver cause. That Mr..
Kenney so regards his election is shown
by the following statement over his
own signature, and made since his
election:
Il regard my election as United
States senator as victory for the
silver men of the Democratic party of
Delaware who stood loyal to Mr.. Bryan
and the Chicago platform. Personally,
l favor silver, and gave Mr.. Bryan and
the Chicago platform my entire sup
pert during the recent campaign. My
election was brought about by that.
Like Mr.. Bryan, 1 believe that the flu
ture of the great cause of bimetallism
depends largely upon the men who will
be elected to the United States senate
in the next four years, and I desire. to
say right here that 1 am unalterably
in favor of bimetallism, and will vote
unfalteringly for it to the end.
RICHARD KENNY"
Mr.. Kenney took an active part in
the campaign and supported Mr.. Bry-
an with heart and soul. Now he has
come to his reward. His election is
one of the most encouraging things
that could have happened for the silver
cause. 1t comes at a time when the
gold papers of the country are declar-
ing that the silver cause has been
killed and not merely scotched; and it
comes from that section of the coun-
try where the anti-silver, sentiment is
strongest. 1t viii give the goldbugs
alternate flashes and rigors. Let them
shake.

The diplomatic tomfoolery at Con-
stantinople seems destined to continue
indefinitely, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. NJ de Nelidoff, the Russian am
bassador, accepts with equal urbanity
the proposals of amendments by his
French and English colleagues to his
financial and administrative reform
schemes, and the aid of the German
ambassador in resisting all propositions
that the sultan be coerced into accept
ing them. NJ de Nelidoff, in truth.
seems to have nothing in mind but a
do-nothing policy; in fact, the whole
Turkish question is evidently a bore
to him His devotion to fair women,
which is notorious. leaves him little
time to browbeat Turkish pashas or
beard the sultan, and his resources of
diplomacy are exhausted in shifts to
relieve himself of pecuniary embarrass-
ments. His preoccupations make him
an ideal representative of a policy of
delay, if that be really the policy of
Russia in Turkey.
This same kind of Diplomatic tom
foolery has been going on for ages, and
it is altogether too much to expect
that it viii cease during this century.
Diplomatic tomfoolery is the sultan's
chief stock in trade; and it seems in
exhaustible.
