MAY GET HIM NOW.
Government has Again Asked Mexico
to EXtradite w. f. Brice.

The government has asked again for
the eXtraditiOn of VIM. Z. Brice, form
erly of Quanah, Tex, says the Repub-
lie. Brice has been a fugitive from
Justice and now is in Chihuahua, Mex
ico. The government has made various
efforts to have Brice brought to his
country for trial. The matter now is
in such shape that the minister of
foreign affairs for Mexico will no doubt
consent to the surrender of the fuei-
tive. In 1896 the state of Texas tried
to secure Brice's eXtraditOn to answer
for offenses against the state laws.
These efforts were futile because of
technical objections arising under the
treaty between the United States and
Mexico. Brice is charged with various
crimes. A year ago an effort was
made by the federal authorities to
have him eXtradited to answer charge
of embezzling 3d. 900 of the funds of
the Quanah National bank. The Mex
lean government held that the funds of
a national bank are not gOvernme Mt
funds and that the offense did not,
therefore. come within the provisions
of the treaty. The Mexican authorities
agreed. however, to detain Brice and
hold him under surveillance until the
Washington authorities could complete
such a case as would secure extradi-
and it was found that Brice had been
indicted also by the United States
court at Ryan, L. l., in the spring of
1896. The charge against him there
was forging note for $1,000, payable
at the national bank of commerce of
Kansas City. Brice was charged with
forging the name of J. E. Led better.
cashier of the bank of Ryan. He also
was indicted in the same court for
forging another note for $3.50. The
crime of forgery comes within the
provisions of the treaty with Mexico
and as soon as the formal request of
the president reaches the Mexican
government there is little doubt that
authority will be given to deliver Brice
to the United States marshal, George
J. Major of Ell Paso, who will deliver
the prisoner to the officers of the court
at Ryan. Brice ia Informally in Gus
tody of the Mexican government at
Chihuahua, and it is believed that
there will be no further trouble in
getting him placed on trial before the
courts of this country.

Standing Armies.

1t is essential to our own good, it is
yet more essential as part of our duty
to the commonwealth of peoples to
which we racially belong, that we look
with clear, dlspaSSlOnate, but reSOlute
eyes upon the fact that civilizations on
different planes of material prosperity
and progress, with different spiritual
ideals, and with very different political
capacities, are fast closing together.
1t is a condition not unprecedented in
the history of the world. When it be-
fell great united empire, enervated
by long years of unwarlike habits
among its chief citizens, it entailed
ruin, but ruin prolonged through CEN
turtles, thanks to the provision before
hand by a great general and statesman.
The Saracenic aud Turkish invaSiOnS,
on the contrary, after generations of
advance, were first checked, and then
rolled back; for they fell upon peoples.
disunited indeed by internal discords
and strife, like the nations of Europe
today, but still nations of warriors,
re ady by training and habit to strike
for their rig hts, and, if need were, to
die for them. In the providence of
God, along with the immense increase
of prosperity, of physical and mental
luxury, brought by this century, there
has grown up also that cOunterpOise
as ''militarism, which has
converted Europe into great camp of
soldiers prepared for war. The ILL
timed cry for disarmament, needless of
the menacipg possibilities of the future,
breaks idly against a great fact, which
finds its sufficient Justification in pre-
sent conditions, but which is, above
all, an unconscious preparation for
something as yet noted but by few

THERE is quite a contrast between
the present business conditions in the
United States and those at this time in
the first year of Cleveland's admins
tration. In August and Septem Der of
1893 banks were breaking, business
Establishments closing, and prices fall
ing. Now prices are rising, new banks
are being organized, and business es-
Establishments which have been closed
for four years are opening up. The
latest issue of Bradstreet's states that
the three large cordage mills at Isaia.
Ohio, which have not been ia operation
for several years, will be started up at
once and with full force, and as the
establishments cost over half a million
dollars, it goes without saying that
this will give employment to a large
number of men. The East Lake WOOL
en- mills, BridgetoD, Pa, which have
been idle for nearly three years, will
resume operations next week. The
Wead paper mills at Malone, N. Y,
which have been idle for year, will
reopen at once. The Chesapeak &,
Ohio and the Cleveland, Cincinnati
and Chicago and ST. Louis railroad
companies have ordered 900 addition
al box cars each for their grain trans
portation. The Cleveland rolling mills
announce an order for 1000 tons of bar
steel for expectation to Birmingham,
England. The Appleton, Wis, paper
mills announce orders from Japan for
1000 tons OF print paper. The iron
workers OF the country report the
demard for foundry pig iron so great
as to have practically annihilated their
large accommodations of stock. The con-
trast in business conditions between
the opening months of the Cleveland
administration and the Mckinley ad. |
pinistration is very great.

Gambling at a Fair.

There is CONSERVATION among the
directors of the Henry County, III.
fair. 1T is all on account of the
gam blers. The directors were out for
money this year, ard they invited per-
sons with gambling devices to Cam
bridge. The fair got 800 for the pri-
vilege. but lost 5000 from the state
The gam blers became frightened and
left Friday morning, only to be arrest
ed and brought back. AS the associa-
ton promised hem protection, it will
have to pay back the $500. 1t is now
rumored that the directors who voted
to license gambling are to be arrested
and fined 500 each.
The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union caused the trouble for the direc-
tors and they declare that the w. G.
L Z. will never gain admittance to the
grounds as an organization. The par
ticular device which excited the wrath
OF the ladies was fortune wheel,

BOIES' LETTER.
He Says the Chicago Platform is no
Longer Biuding Oh Democrats.

Elk Governor Boies has written let
ter to The Des Moines Leader on the
subject of Bullion as Basis of Ma
tional Currency
At the outset he asks the question
"Gold and silver bullion for money: is
it practicable? Can they be made an
available double stand ard for the meas
urement of values?"
He answers these question in the af-
firmative and says that Mr.. Window
suggested the basis of the plan which
he elaborated. He concludes his letter
thus:
st is said no plan of that character
would be in accordance with the Chi
CO go platform. That is true, but the
Chicago platform has had its day in
court before the tribunal of last resort.
Must democrats, to be loyal, adhere to
it forever? The objection is at va
rance with the whole theory of our
form of government. fval elections
would settle nothing, majorities would
cease to rule and when a political issue
which once joined, the warfare over, it
would go on until one or the other of
the parties to it was totally annihi-
lated"
This letter is unfavorably received in
democr attic circles and occassiOned the
writer some bitter abuse.

CANAL BUILT BY JOSEPH.
One of the Worlds Oldest Engineering
Works in Egypt,

Works in Egypt.
How many of the engineering works
of the nineteenth century will there be
in existence in the year 5000? asks
"Engineering:" Very few, we fear,
and still less those that will con tinue
in tina far-off age to serve a useful pur-
pose. Yet there is, at least, one great
undertaking conceived and executed
by an engtu eer which during the space
of 1000 years has never ceased its
office, on which the life of fertile
province absolutely depends today.
We refer to the Bahr Joussuf-the
canal of Joseph-built, according to
tradition, by the son of Jacob, and
which constitutes no. the least of the
many blessings he conferred on Egypt
during the years of his prosperous
rule. This canal took its rise from the
Nile at Asuit, aud ran almost parallel
with it for nearly 25O miles, creeping
| along under the western cliffs OF the
| Nile Valley, with many a bend and
winding, until at length it gained an
eminence, as compared with the river
bed, which enabled it to turn westward
| through a narrow pass and enter 8
district which was otherwise shut Off
from the fertilizing floods on which all
vegetation in Egypt depends. The
northern end stood II feet above low
Nile, when at the southern end 1t was
|
| Through this cut ran perennial
| stream, which watered province
named Fayoum, endowing it with fert-
| lily and supporting large populatlOn.
In the time of the annual food great
part of the canal was under water, and
| then the rivers current would rush in
a more direct course into the pass car
rying rwith it the rich silt which
takes the place of manure and keeps
| ha in
tivenesS.
All this, with the exception OF the
tradition that Joseph built it, can be
verified today, and it is not mere sup
position or rumor. Until eight years
ago it was Fl mly be ieved that the de-
sign has always been limited to an ir-
rigatiOn scheme, larger, no doubt,
than that now in operation, as shown
by the traces of abandoned canals, and
by the slow aggregation of waste water
which had accumulated in the Blrket
ell Quorum. but still essentially the
same in character. Many accounts
have been written by Greek and
Roman historians, such as HerOdOtus.
Strabo, Mutianus and PlIny, and re
peated in monkish legends, or por-
trayed in the maps of the Middle Ages
which agreed with the folklore of the
district. These tales explained that
the canal dug by the ancient lsrael1te5
served to carry the surplus waters OF
the Nile into an eXten@ive lake lying
south of the Fayoum, and.so large that il

A WRITER in an American journal
devoted to milling says Siberia is too
cold to compete with this country in
the production of wheat, and that the
opening of the Great Russian railway
across northern Asia will not lessen
the demand on this country for bread
stutfs. Siberia is unsuited to large
production of wheat. Its winters last
eight months, the area available for
wheat is comparatively too small, and
all that is produced will be needed for
home consumption. The Russian rail-
way, for the most part, runs north of
the 55th parallel of latitude.

no detention to Sunset route seaboard

prohibiting the handling of freight or
iginating in New Orleans, or passing
through that point, either having des-
tinatiOn in the state of Texas, or des-
