with his neighbor in furnishing the finest herd of title for the home mar kets, aLd they, as well as butchers, were prosperous. How changed IS the scene. The home market for the cattle producer has ceased. The butchers oi the country have been driven from thelr trade or converted into mere meat cut ters, distributors or salesmen for the beef barons and if this continues few years longer and the combine carries their scheme the butcher will be finally bounced and the
 BOY AND DELIVERY WAGON
 WILL DO THE WORK.
 I claim that the cattle and beef com- bine fight not to cripple, but to anni- hilate. The cry of the dressed beef men @ few years ago that we had an over production of cattle in our country was all bosh, and the cry now of cattle shortage Is all rot. The world market regulates the So-called market value. When this market Is manipulated and controlled by cliques, combinations, pools, trusts and optfon spectators, values naturally for the time become the shuttle-cock of gamblers. That the beef barons have and are controlling the cattle and beef market was proved by Senator Vest and his Congressional committee in 1890, and can be proven again by proper committee. It has been shown by Philip Armour's evil dence that they are in @ combine" trust" or company to fix the prices. Of beef to the purchaser or consumer, ana they have an agreement not to interfere with each other in certain markets and localities. It can be shown now that the combine are opening shops to un- dersell and ruin butchers who buy live cattle. They also have uniform price on their beef and pork products, thus practically destroying all
 COMPETITION AMONG THEM
 SELVES.
 Mayor D. R. Francis at the opening of the first National Convention of Butchers in St. Louis in 1886 said: "A sad day it will be for this country when the dressed beef interests are In the hands of a few moneyed kings" The time is nearly at hand and apparently the sad day will soon be here. I claim that a sad day has dawned on Ameri- can politics when our legislation, State and national, is dominated, guided and controlled by monopolistic influences. This is my apology for earnestness in these matters. and when representa- tives of the people refuse redress they should seek 1t themselves. The cure for these evils are: Opposition in all trades against monopolists; competi- tion in the butchers trade by the erec- tion of abattoirs in the different centers. All that is required Is intelligent leader ship and education for the industrial war in this country Is more serious and threatening to the liberties of the na- tion than was the struggle of our fore fathers one hundred years ago. The struggle was then against the domina- ton and the taxing right of another country, while now 1t is against the domination and taxing power of CO., operative industrial monopoly.-Chris D. Brokate, in St. Louis Butchers and Packers Magazine.

FOR HUMANITY's SAKE.
Women's Clubs VIII Give Moral Sup
port to Mckinley.

CHICAGO, April 1.-The club women of
the country, a quarter of a million strong,
to-day expressed themselves regarding
Cuba in letter written to President Nc
Kinley by Mrs. Ellen NJ Henrotin, of Chi
cago, president of the General Federation
of Women's Clubs. The letter, in part fol-
lows:
1.-The members of the general federation
would condemn a war which was under
taken for ACKNOWLEDGMENT or for territorial
acquisition as the federation is founded on
the principle of fraternity and reciprocity;
but it's members recognize the fact that this
Nation, in the vanguard of all republics,
must stand alone for the cause of humanity.
for the cause of the weak as against the
strong, for the right as against might We
feel that you represent this cause. There
fore, as a federation we tender you our
sympathy and express to you our confidence
in your wisdom and your devotion to the
highest good of this dear country of ours.
while most of the members of the fedora
ton represent no vote on subjects of ma
tional politics, We do represent great in
iuence. On us war will fall the heaviest,
for we must give our sons. and must, dur
ing and after the war, help to repair the
ravages and losses and mitigate the suf-
fering which such d terrible event must in
eYitably bring in its train. therefore. we
have the best right to an expression of our
opinion. We pledge you while II is ques-
ton of humanity you may. count on the
moral support of this organization.
In an interview regarding the letter. Mrs.
Henrotin said: THE industrial position of
the American women was greatly influenced
by the recent civil war Thousands of
women. both in the North and in the South,
were forced into the labor market through
the death of father or brother, husband
son. This was especially the case in the
South. The loss in idealty TO a nation is
very great by war. General Walker has
said to me that he considered the present
overweening commercial spirit of this coun-
Try due TO the fact that so many of the
ideal persisted in the war both North and
South. leaving the mechanically minded or
business minded men in the aScendency.
The race also suffers physically. as the
army takes not the lame nor the blind nor
the delicate son, but the strong, well-de-
veloped man. For those reasons women are
vitality interested in peace and its attendant
train of blessings. But they are even more
interested in upholding the cause of hu-
rnanity before all commercial considera-
lions. The American people have been very

President be permitted to continue his cor

that little delay is a good thing for us as

open confession of unpreparedness from
these members, but their position on the

well-known sympathy for Cuba, will be suf-
ffciently significant to make the House

In discussing this phase of the matter
the speaker quoted statements of Cabient

the force of it. He said this would never

CANNOT WED AGAIN.
Important Church Canon Relating to
Divorced People.

NEW YORK, April 1.-The World to-
morrow will say: After nearly six years of
labor the joint commission appointed in
1892 by the General Conventions of the
Episcopal Church Of the United States to
revise the constitution and canons of the
church has completed its labors. Yesterday
the commission submitted it's report to the
delegates to the General Convention to be
held in Washington next October. In the re-
port Section 8 of the canon 'of marriage"
reads: mo ministers of this church shall
solemnize the marriage of either party to
a divorce during the lifetime of the other"
The commission Is composed of such
churchmen as the bishops of Albany, New
York. Kentucky, Chicago and Maryland,
and many other prominent prelates. Bishop
Potter is opposed to the revision, believ-
ing that the innocent party to divorce
should be allowed to wed again.

Urging Arbitration.

PARIS, April 1.-The French International

Spanish minister of foreign affairs, Senior
Gullon, and to the American secretary of
state, Mr.. John Sherman, urging the advisa-
bility of the arbitration of the differences
between Spain and the United States.
The Journal DIES de Bats, commenting on
the 'inadmissibility of Americas exorbitant
pretensions," complains of the American
and English papers that are advising Spain
to sell cuba. 1T says: 1t would appear
that for these journals the view point of
national honor does not exist"
The sympathy of Frenchmen inclines
rather to Spain, and the hope is still chung

ernments and the good offices Of the pow
ers.''
