The Worlds Drinkers

Of beer, the greatest consumer
is Bavaria, the average quantity
drunk per head being fifty gallons
a year. This estimate is no doubt
trustworthy, being based upon
official data; but at first sight one
would expect it to be even larger,
seeing that infants are not infre-
quently taught to drink beer by
Bavarian mothers. In Germany,
considered as whole, the average
consumption of beer is much less
than in Belgium, which uses for
ty-two gallons head, as against
thirty in England and five in
France. It seems that in France
very little beer is drunk outside of
the towns. Americans are sup
posed to be great beer drinkers,
but the figures show that on an
average they consume less than
fifteen gallons per head. Mr..
Bateman points out that of late
years the consumption of beer in
the United States has not percep-
tibly increased, if we keep in view
the increase of population, while,
on the other hand, the use of wine
and spirits has been signally di,
minished. It is a mistake to sup
pose that distilled LIQUORS are
drunk in England; in 1896 the
consumption was about a gallon
per head, and there has been
scarcely any increase of quantity
during ten years. The Dutch and
Belgians drink twice as much OF
distilled liquor as do Englishmen
mostly, in the form of gin. Strange
to say, the Frenchman, who is the
greatest wine drinker on earth, is
also the largest consumer of ar
dent spirits with the possible ex,

The De Lome Imbroglio.

Daily Item.
The Spanish minister, De LONE,
whose insulting letter regarding
the President and the American
people has caused such excitement
and indignation, rendered his re
signation to his home government,
and it was accepted in advance of
the action of this country.
Properly this invites some seri-
Gus complications. President Nc
Kinley, through Assistant Secre-
tary of State Day, has cabled to
Minister Woodford at Madrid,
protesting on the part of the
American government, against the
acceptance of Minister De Lome's
resignation. Such hasty action as
this is evidence that Spain accepts
responsibility for the unseeming
and grossly vulgar effusion of its
resident minister rather than ex-
press regret for conduct which
shows he is destitute of the quail
ties required by his position.
The refusal of Spain to reconsi-
der her action in accepting Senior
de Lome's resignation will un-
doubtedly lead to complications in
the present relations between that
country and the United States.
These relations have been strained
ever since the outbreak for liberty
in Cuba, and public sentiment,
which President Mckinley patrio-
tically represents; will sustain him
and his party in whatever mea-
sures he may determine to protect
his own honor, which is that of
the nation.

Daily Item.

DAILY Items
The following named gentlemen,
who are deservedly held in high
esteem and favor by every self-re-
specting Republican within the
borders of the State, are about to
visit the Capital for the purpose
of opposing the confirmation of
Henry Demas as Naval Officer at
New Orleans: Capt. John N. Pharr,
Senator F. B. Williams, B. Huard,
John Baldwin, w. A. ONeil, j.
Barnett, Prof. S. A. Knapp, Gen.
A. S. Badger, Major Andrew Hero,
Jr., w. s. Wilson, Gen. A. H.
Leonard, o. V. Waggener and
Gen. l.. j. Souer.
In their protest against the de-
grading effect of this unfortunate
nomination they do vote, as they
represent, the sentiments Of the
great body of the Republican par
ty of the State without distinc-
ton as to race, color or nationali-
ty." More, in their indignant op-
position to the recognition Of the
notorious corruptionist and bride.
taker, they are giving expression
to the attitude of the almost
united press and people of Lou.
isiana upon this burning question
No man of character will under
take to uphold this unblushine
renegade and political Judas who
has repeatedly sold the rights Of
his party and of his race and pro.
stituted himself for money. Who.
ever pretends to endorse him, hav.
ing knowledge of his past scanda.
lous conduct, must himself be deat
to every sense Of decency and o.
shame. Nothing will so surely re
suit in the irretrievable disruption
of the Republican party here as
such calamitous appointment
1t will cover it with contumely
and disgrace with it can nevel
hope to survive. In defense O
the honor and life of the organiza
ton it is imperative that the con
firmation Of Henry Demas SHOULD
be defeated. In the name of com
mon decency We ask that his no
mination be withdrawn.
