existing railways have been built with
money borrowed on the public security,

that If the enhanced rentals Of the public

In time wipe 1t out, there can be no posi-
BILE objection to the rather startling inno-
walton they wish to introduce.
The proposition is not so utopian as 1t at
first appears, mainly owing to the fact that
the railways already belong to the public
as also do the interior lands; and II it can
be established beyond doubt that the en-
nanced returns from the latter will make
up for the loss in operating the former

WHEN UNCLE SANS IN TROUBLE

When Uncle Sans in trouble, what should
a patriot do?
Just fix your eyes upon the flag and pull
your uncle through!
His heart Is WIDE his hand is warm-but his
plumbers make you flare!
Don't you think the world would miss him
If your uncle wasn't there?
When our country needs her heroes, what
should a brave man do?
Give your service to the country that has
done so much for you!
In the galaxy of nations she's the fairest
ever seen,
And shines, for all her failings yet, with
hopes immortal sheen.
When the battle flags are flying, what
should our navy do?
Oh! Dewey set the pattern, and the rest
will follow, too!
The vikings came a-coasting here before
the ships Of Spain,
And their conquering blasts are blowing
still adown the northern main.
When little kids in trouble, what should
a neiChbor do?
Find out the troubles cause, then act the
neighbor true!
Face might with right and save the lad
from cruelty and spite,
And shame the bully if you can, by the
power of grace and light.
When the warning nations jar the world,
what should our country do?
Still hold aoft the stars of peace above the
fighting crew!
The stripes are few-we'll lay them on with
vlgor II we must
And pray for grace to make our flag the
banner Of the Just.

Food Stuffs in Paris

Every year the prefecture of the Seine
makes public detailed account of the con-
sumption of the various food stuffs in
Paris, an account which can be made UP
very exactly from the octrol figures. Every
week 5000 live beef cattle, $4,000 sheep and
500 calves enter Paris. OF the 800, 900 cattle
sold in Paris last year, only 5000 were Of
foreign origin. contrasting. strangely with
London, where the foreign beef outranks
the home grown. OF the 1000, 900 odd sheep,
hardly any came from abroad, II Algiers
be excluded from that term. All these fig
rres do not include dead meat brought
! Ito Paris, of which there is a great deal,
V..iore especially of veal. In addition Paris
ate 1000 900 chickens last year and $500 900
raboits-of which Australia, by the way,
contributed fair share. About ~ 900 tons
of vegetables were consumed and an even
greater quantity of fruit. The statistics
as to horsefiesh seem little vague. We
are informed that there has been a diminu-
ton of horses slain for food by about 200
head, but the precise number actually slain
is not given. Only 400 diseased animals
were detected by the veterinary service,
which speaks pretty we'll for the quality
of meat entering Paris.

And my soul with rage is pent-up in q;
For know almighty well you have caught
another fel,
And your thoughts no longer dwell love,

When we kissed last good-by-tearfully-
You but worked girlsh guy off on me;
o, you sweet bewitching jade, what a
clever game you played
For your tears were ready-made, Sweet
Marie.
When I donned the soldier blue, Sweet
Marie,
Like picnic woodtick you stuck to me;
And the smile you used to wear was as
full of cleaning glare
AS sunbeam on tear, Sweet Marie.
How your cunning head you'd lay-lov-
ingly-
On my bosom, while you'd say things to me;
There you'd rest in loving pose, right be-
meath my very nose,
Swiping buttons from my clothes. Sweet
Marie.
To the Cuban isle CO. Sweet Marie,
Where the tropic sun will glow over me;
And I'll wander through the dels with the
dusky Cuban bellies,
Who are dressed in beads and shells
scantily.
There your face I'll soon forget, Sweet

I'll be frisky you can bet. as flea
I'll be giddy, I'll be gay. I will sing the
hours away

AUSTRALIANS NOVEL PLAN
Distance Not to Be Considered in Rail
road Fares

While the legislation Of the Australian
colonies Is patterned upon English prece-
dent, it by no means slavishly follows it.
In fact, 1t often leads it. novel PROPOSE
ton In regard to transportation by rail
that Is now being discussed and may before
long enter into the sphere Of practical
politics In one of the colonies is calculated
to give conservative hereditary legislators
a severe shock. The proposition Is that n
uniform rate should be charged on the
railways for both freight and passengers,
irrespective of distance. The proposal
looks at first little startling, but the more
it is examined the more feasible 1t appears.
It's advocates propose to carry passenger
one journey as far as he likes to go for
one shilling (5 cents), and to haul freight
from any point in the interior to the sea-
board or vice versa for five shillings (S1.25)
ton. 1t must be remembered that the
railways, as also the telegrap hs, are owned
and operated by the government. The
lands also of the interior, which are more
valuable than those on the coast for wool
growing. are principally owned by the gov
eminent and let on lease to the sheep
owners. The rental of these lands is small,
owing to the long and expensive land car
rage to the point Of shipment for wool,
mutton and beef, and the lessees would
willingly pay enhanced rentals for the pro-
posed reduction In freight. Estimates
have been prepared from which the advo-
Gates of the new proposal claim that the
enhanced revenue from the government
lands would more than compensate the de-
ficiency in operating the government rail-
roads.
They claim. too, that 1t would be the
most effective way OF settling the Interior
of the country in small holdings, which
has always been a difficulty. as the people
congregate in the large cities in numbers
altogether out of proportion to those who
populate in the back country. AS regards
passenger traffic, It u claimed that, ~

FRANK JAMES

THE chief business of the Democratic
state convention was to adopt an anti
monopoly platform unite upon coalition
ticket and nominate anti-monopoly candi-
dates. These 1 think have been accom-
plished and the issues have been squarely
made. Every man upon the ticket has
been placed there only after a very care
full scrutiny of his public record touching
his relations with corporations and his
fidelity to the people.
Mcguire is the idol as he is
the only hope of the people of this
state. His unimpeachable record was
upon the tongue of every delegate. He is a
platform in himself, and this seemed to
be a unanimous sentiment that he should
be the standard bearer in the great battle
of the people which will soon be fought
No other of the many candidates whose
names have been entioned now and then
for gubernatorial honors had a ghost of a
show against him. In fact his rivals all
retired before the convention convened.
1.-THE opposition to fusion did not mate
rialize. In this the fusionists. alike with
the anti-fusionists, were surprised. Some
how or other the contest between the
Harvey and the committee delegations for
the San Francisco representation bore I'M
expected good fruit. The discussion be-
fore the credentials committee and before
the convention took wide range, and
brought out as never before the true in
wardness of San Francisco politics, and
the important part which such politics
played in state conventions and elections.
In the speeches of McNab. Gould and
Mayor Phelan, the rottenness Of machine
politics in the metropolis was presented in
all its frightfulness, and the undened
charge was made that the Democratic or
ganiza ton which Harvey represented had
been, as 1t was now being made, the tool
of Boss Rainey in the interests of the Re-
publican party.
with this clean-cut exposition of the
smooth ways of the San Francisco boss and
the objects for which the Harvey delega-
ton was asking for seats in the state con-
vention, the result of the contest was not
doubtful, and by a large majority the COM
mittee delegation was given seats.
This victory bore good fruit in various
other ways. 1t made the issue Of the cam
paign one of reform, of anti-monopoly, and
every candidate who presented himself for
the honors of the convention was care
fully scrutinized as to his relations to COR
porations and his fidelity to the people.
"This convention is an epoch maker.
Henceforth the battle cry of Democracy
under the leadership of James G. Mcguire
is reform and the rout of the baleful in
fiuences of corporations in this state
through political corruption. The nomi-
nees are all good call It a
strong ticket. From present indications 1t
will be impossible to defeat it, notwith-
standing there will be an attempt to Han
maize the state Of California in the interest
Of the Republican nominee"

Making a Home in Manila

When a person builds house in Manila
he must decide first whether he prefers
death and destruction by earthquake or
typhoon. If he wants to die by the earth
quake method he builds masonry house,
which tumbles down on him when the earth
quakes. If he prefers death by typhoon, he
builds bamboo house. The earthquake
doesn't affect 1t, but the typhoon moves it
over into Mindanao. AS Manila gets both
typhoons and earthquakes, the choice is

The War Footing Of Switzerland

The federal council or switzerland ordered
the military department two months ago to
ascertain from the cantons how many
drilled and fully equipped soldiers could be
put In the field in few weeks time for the
national defense. LIE Journal de Geneve
prints a synopsis of the report. 1t seems
that Switzerland could at very short no.
tice put an army of 5O2, 254 men In the field.
It is not generally known that every citi-
zen Of the republic of military age, not ex-
empt on account OF bodily defect, has to
bear arms, in the use of which the children
are instructed at school, from the age OF
8, passing through annual exercises and re-
views. Such military instruction is volun-
tary on the part of the children, but Is
participated in by the greater number Of
pupils at the upper and middle schools. The
troops of the republic are divided into three
classes: ~ me Elite (Auszug), consisting
in general of all men able to bear arms
from the age of 20 to 80; (2) the Landwehr.
comprising all men from the thirty-third to
the completed forty-fourth year; (0 the
Landsturm, which can only be called out In
time of war, consisting of all citizens not
otherwise serving, between the ages of II
and 80, or Qn the case of ex-officers) Sc.
The period of actual service varies in the
different cantons, but there are certain gen.
eral muster days. The status of the army
is preserved by countless so-called military
clubs, the fundamental laws Of the republic
forbidding the maintenance Of a standing
army. According to the report of the mill
tary department the Elite includes $50 Off
GERS and four army corps, averaging about
IS 900 men apiece, besides the special corps
of Gothard and Saint Maurice, making 14-
900 men in all. The different services of the
Landwehr include S32S3 officers and men
The armed Landsturm has total of 53,41
men, and the unarmed Landsturm of 21S ,300
