Though the Single Taxer De-

New York, Nov. S.-The Journal

the results of the recent election indi-
cate popular dissatisfaction with the
policy Of the Republican party is un-
doubtedly correct His declaration that
they 'presage the overthrow of the
Republican party is not entitled to the
same credence as his conclusion.
I heartily hope that the Republican
party Will be overthrOwn in 1900, but
it is early for any one but an enthusf-
asst like Mr.. Bryan to make up his
mind what will happen three years
hence.
Most of the George men were en-
thuslasts, and believed that if q theory
to which they subscribed could be put
into operation upon the affairs of life.

of his words or acts was to our disad-
vantage. The secretary of the Demo-
cratic national committee who is pre-
sumably very close to him in sympa-
thy, repudiated the candidacy of Judge
Van Wyck on the ground that Judge
Van Wyck did not stand upon the sill
yer platform of the Chicago convention,
and gave to Mr.. George whatever sup
port he had to give, e,although Mr.GeOrge
had distinctly repudiated the silver
theory.
The trouble with Mr.. Bryan and the
secretary OF the national committee is
that they cannot adapt themselves to
changing conditions. They insist up
on following certain theories and in dis
regarding peculiar conditions of life.

theories in the various parts of the
country.
we are distinctly Democrats, who
insist upon taking things as they are.
I shall be happy if, three years hence
Mr.. Bryan's present prediction is veri-
fed; but / do not take much interest in
predictions that have so long to run.
Many things are likely to happen be-

ANDREWS A DISCIPLE.
President of Brown University
a Follower Of Henry George.

New York, Nov. 8.-A dispatch to the
Journal from Providence, R. L. says:
President E. Benjamin Andrews of
Brown university and James A. Hearne
the actor-spOke at a Henry George
memorial meeting Sunday night. 1t
was the first time the president had
spoken in public on political matters
since he withdrew his resignation as
he rendered last June on account of
question
His address was one of high eulOgy to
Henry George which he said he came to
pay as "a tax payer and a citizen of
Providence" He characterized George
as the most influential political econ
omist in the world at his DEATH" and as
certain to exert q great influence on
the days that are sure to come
DR.. Andrews thought everything that
George wrote well worth reading. He
ELECTED applause when he declared that,
in his belief, Georges theory touching
land tax, is substantially true The
most interesting part of the address
was when the president of Brown de-
nOunced the present system of taxa
ton as unjust, saying that IF the peO-
pie knew really how bad it is, they
would rise up and sweep the govern
ment way"
DIR. Andrews spoke with great earn
estness and was applauded repeatedly.
He received a hearty welcome when he
was introduced with the words reform
in Rhode Island, in the United States
and the world is greatly encouraged be
cause Benjamin Andrews is still pres
ident of Brown university"

New York, Nov. 8.-The Herald says:
The National League and American
Association of base ball clubs will be-
gin its annual meeting in Philadelphia
tomorrow. Standing out prominently
on the list of subjects to be considered
is the Temple cup question None the
less prominent is a mass of evidence
concerning the rowdyism of playing on
the field, which increased last year to
such proportions as TO disgust the pub
lie
There will be more or less talk of
the western teams making three trips
east and the eastern teams three trips
west next year, instead of two, as has
clubs gate receipts question will also
come up, its three years special privi-
lege by which it settled with visiting
clubs on a 25 cent basis having expir-
ed.
Some club owners are opposed to the
Temple cup altogether; others are in
favor of it and win work for its con-
tinuance.
Eward HanIon, manager of the Bal
timore team, has adopted the sugges-
tion of A. H. OGDEN, of the Boston
club, that the clubs contribute a fund
of $12, 600, to be divided among the play
erS of the three leading Clubs-the
champions to get Sc, 600, the second club
$4,000 and the third club $4,000. This
amount could be raised by each club

the clubs in proportion to the respective
amounts paid in.

City Meat Inspector Farnsworth's
New Indeiible Stamp for Meat.

Mr. J. W. Farnsworth, city meat in
spectOr, is now the pOSsessOr of a
stamp which prints in indelible ink in
large letters the word Condemned.
This is the first stamp that Mr..
Farnsworth has ever owned, and its
possession is the result of an attempt
of the Dold Packing company of Kan
sas City to place spoiled meat on the
Topeka market
When Mr.. Farnsworth inspected
the consignment of meat sent to this
city a week ago by the DOld company,
he found three large sides which
We're in a state of decay. The meat
bore the government stamp, and on
this ground the agent of the company
here held that Mr.. FarnswOrth should
also approve the meat and let it go in
to the Topeka market. Mr.. Farms
worth refused.
The last consignment of meat sent
by the DOld company to Topeka, con-
tained no spoiled Sides and Mr.
FarnswOrth has not yet had a chance
to use his stamp.
Very little spoiled meat gets past the
government inspectors at Kansas City.

Judge Hazen's Order

Judge Hazen and asked to have the

STRAINING.
Looks Like a Good Deal of an
Effort to DisprOYe Cooks
Election.

The papers in the Kepley-Cook con-
test were filed today. Probate Judge
Dolman will appoint two gentlemen to
sit with him, which viii complete the
contest board.
The scope of the contest has been
considerably broadened. 1t was at first
intended to base the contest wholly up
on ballots which had been marked for
KepIey in three places and which were
not counted by the returning boards.
But they ask to have the whole vote of
Oakland precinct thrown out on the
ground that the judge failed to clip the
numbers off the ballots Each ballot
was numbered as it was given to the
prospective voter and the number cor
responded with that on the tally sheet.
After he had marked it and returned it
to the judge, the number was clipped
off. In Oakland the judge failed to do
this. and the claim is made that the
returns are therefore illegal. This pre-
cinct gave a majority of As for Cook.
It is claimed that in one precinct in the
ed with a red pencil and counted. The
law says the cross marks must be made
with a black lead pencil 1t is also
claimed that in one precinct in Mission
township the judge failed to put his
initials on the ballot.
These, with the claim that the bal
lots marked on all three tickets for
Kepley should be counted for him, con-
stitute the grounds for the contest. A
date for the hearing will soon be fixed.

Photographs of starving children

photographs are taken at Guanabacoa,

Remember that with natural devo-
ton intensified by suffering and dan

given to them every morsel of food
they could scrape together. The moth
ers of these children denied themselves
food. refused to eat the miserab Bile scraps
OF meat and bread that they might
keep life in their children.
The children's legs were like pipe
stems. One could count their ribs
Their joints, made disproportiOnately
large by their extreme emaciatiOn,
seemed immense. These are not isOIa-
ted cases. There are thousands and
thousands like them. The assistant
mayor of Havana says that there are

The absolute fact is that in Havana
the conditions are five times better,
more favorable than anywhere in Cuba.
Yet the Spanish officials reports prove
that ], 1,77S persons died in Havana dur

HELP FOR WHALERS.

Washington, Nov S-There was a

Commander Dickens of the navy and
Captain Schowater, commander of the
revenue marine service, to consider
means for the relief of the whaling
fleet said to be ice bound in the Behr-
