In fact, during the past seven years at least s70,000 has been lost in the busi- ness, about Sl0,0OO q year. This is not altogether due to bad management, not by any means. In the first place one half of the gross weight is lost in butchering, placing the dressed meat at double the cost on foot, not men, tioning labor and cost of maintaining a market. Of this meat, with each beef about fifty pounds of shank brings as little as does the neck Only four per cent. of the beef Is porter house, and here in Phoenix there is strong demand for choice cuts and a light cut for the poorer ones. Thus butchers are compelled to kill more than is necessary in order to supply the demand While prices look high to the consumer, rangi ng from six to eighteen cents per pound, it is a noted fact that the butchers are not becom- ing millionaires very rapidly.

Paris. Nov. 90. - The Figaro has
caused a sensation in connection with
the Dreyfus affair by publishing sew
eral letters purporting to have been
written by Comte Ferdinand Welsln
Esterhazy, who has been accused by
NJ. Scheurer- X estnar, one of the vice
presidents of the senate, of being the
author of the unsigned letter when
led to the condemnation of Dreyfus.
In one Of them, after expressing his
intention to enter Turkish service,
Comte Esterhazy is represented as say
ing: Il shall not leave without nav
ing played a trick of my own on those
amiable Frenchmen.'
Other passages illustrating the char
acter of the letters follow:
"Our cowardly and ignorant great
chiefs, will go once more to people
German prisons"
81 should be perfectly happy if |
were told l was to be killed tomorrow
as captain of Unlans sabering
Frenchmen."
81 am capable of great things or
crimes if that could avenge me. |
would not harm a little dog, but |
would have hundred thousand
Frenchmen killed with pleasure"
Comte Esterhazy proceeds to say
that "Frenchmen are not worthy OF
the cartridges intended to kill them"
and he conjures up dream OF fes-
tivity" in the shape of the pillars OF
Paris by hundred thousand drunken
soldiers.
interviewed by reporters as to the
publications in the Figaro of letters
purporting to be Of his authorship,
Comte Esterhazy displayed great in
dignation and declared that they were
forged by the friends of Dreyfus, who,
he said, had taken words and sen
fences from his letters and pieced them
together by a process with which he
was acquainted. He said also that he
had been warned some days back that
such a publication would be made.

The experiment of putting a woman
in charge of part Of the street clean
ing work in Chicago pleases the sweep
ers. One of them said, through an
interpreter, eve like the woman. She
doesn't curse and swear at us. Man
foreman drive us around like slaves
and call us bad names. She
say, How do?' and other nice things,
and then we do good work. She see
it and say SO. That make us feel
good, and we work more" You can
get better work even out of a dumb
beast by being kind to him; much
more out of man. as this woman's
dealings with unpromising material
abundantly show.

Proportional representation is be-
coming a rather live question in this
country. The more the people inves-
tigate the idea the more favorable It
appears. What can be more just than
the proposition that each party be rep
resented in congress or elsewhere ac-
cording to it's voting strength. the
present congress, for instance, is over
whelmingly Republican. Yet on the
popular vote the Democrats polled
within half a million as many votes as
the Republicans. Therefore to proper
w represent the wishes of the people
congress should be nearly tie. The
Populists, Silver Republicans, Prohl-
bitionists, Nationalist and woman
suffragists would also have represen-
tation according to their proportion OF
the vote cast. Big majorities are al
ways dangerous to political parties
and therefore double danger
GUS to the welfare Of the
whole people. Every congress that
has had big party majority has made
a bad record Every congress that
has had small majority has done
we'll. Proportional representation is
bound to become a very live question,
and that in the very near future.

les resulting fatally about half an

Thousands Persisted in the Philip

San Francisco, Nov. 30 - The ty-
phoon which swept over the Philippine
islands on Oct 6 was the cause of one
of the worst disasters that has been
reported from the Southern ocean in
many years, if not in the history of
that section of the world. Thousands
of lives were lost, including many
Europeans, and the damage to prop
erty is something appalling. Tele-
graphic advices concerning the calam-
ity have been very meager. The diff
ficulty in getting news from the is
lands is great at any time owing to
the remoteness of some of the prov
inces visited by the hurricane, full de-
tails of the storm did not reach Hong
Kong until Nov. 1. The steamer
Gaelic. from the Orient, brought let
tiers and papers which contain ac-
counts of the ravages of the tidal
wave and the winds. Several towns
were blown away. Fully 400 Euro
peans We're drowned, and it is esti-
mated that 5000 natives persisted.

The latest report of DR.. w. I. Harris,

1896. In the schools and colleges, pub
lie and private, there were then en-
rolled 1897, 1877 pupils-an increase in
one year of 30S,575. AS only 1918
of these were in private institutions,
parochial and otherwise, the friends OF
public schools can contemplate the
situation with composure. But the
order of the day which may still be
pressed upon the committee of the
whole people as urgent" is a steady

When the victory of party deter
mines who shall be the governors OF
neonle. an overruling Providence will
sometimes make the political choice
fortunate one. The available man
turns out to be a capable man. In
more than one instance during the
history of our country between 1860
and 1865. untried greatness developed
where to human foresight promotion
was only an expedient. High quail
ties are not suddenly created. They
sleep. but God knows where they are.
In a grand crisis they leap to light,
and men thoughtlessly say that cir
cumstances made them. Abraham Lin
coin. the Springfield lawyer, did not
nut on any one else's greatness, or the
greatness of circumstances. He simply
found his own when it was most
needed. Mr.. Woodrow Wilson, in his
admirable critical essay, says OF this
remarkable man: "He was not fit to
he President until he actually became
President. He was fit then because,
learning as he went, he found out how
much there was to learn, and had still
an infinite capacity for learning" 1t
is this capacity for learning that has
raised many boy from fioor-sweep-
er to the headship of a firm, and fitted
many an official novice for response
bilities which he never knew until he
was forced to carry them.
