Less Liquor Drinking.

The bulletin for the Federal depart
ment of labor for July gives figures to
show that there has been a large decrease
in the consumption Of Intoxicating liquors
by the people OF this country. In 1880
the consumption of distilled spirits in the
United States was p gallons for every
man, woman and child; in 1896 it was less
than one gallon. Such decrease in the
use of strong drink probably never &C.
Cured before among any people. There
has also been a decrease in the use of wine
in this country. The per capita consump'
ton of wine in 1880 was 30 Of gallon,
and in 1896 it was .26 Of gallon.
But while there has been some decrease
in the use Of wine and a very great de-
crease in the use of whisky, brandy, gin
and other spirits, the consumption of beer
has increased immensely.
In 1896 no les than 1,170,379, AS gal
Ions of beer were used in this country.
The beer used for medicines, in cooking
and for other purposes except drinking is
comparatively very small. The great bulk
Of the beer consumed in 1896 was drunk
The per capita consumption of beer in
1880 was only 1.36 gallons. BY 1896 it
had increased to 1916 gallons.
In spite of this fact there is good rea-
son to believe that there has been great
growth of temperance among our people
during the past eighteen years. Their
larger use Of mild drinks is more than
compensated for by the great reduction
Of the quantity of strong and fiery liquors.

PRINCE BISMARCK DEAD.

Prince Bismarck, Germany's distinguish
ed statesman and ex-Chancellor, died at
FREDERICKSBURG on Saturday night at IL: 20
O'Clock. He was born at Shoenhausen
(Fair-house), Saxony on April lst, 1915.
Bismarck was really the founder of the
present German Empire, as it was by his
spirit and policy that modern Germany
was unified. No man who has lived dur
ing the present century has played more
important part in the political history of
Continental Europe.
When the present Emperor assembled
the throne the great Chancellor was forced
into retirement. His assertion that:
ssIhe Prussian sovereigns are in posses
sion of a crown, not by the grace of peo-
pie, but by Gods grace though full Of
fealty to the crown, did not protect him
from the dislike of the arrogant young
man who now reigns as Emperor of all
Germany.
Though political giant Bismarck was
not an orator, but when speaking he was
very forcible in his phrase making.
During the present Summer highlands
aGrand Old Man," (Mr. Gladstone}and
Germany's "Iron Prince" (Bismarck)
have both passed from the stage on which
for many years, as contemporaries, they
had appeared as the leading figures.

HOW THE FEVER STARTED.
Carried TO Our Soldiers in their Own
AmbuIances.

Chicago, July %. Tile first definite
statement was made to-day as to how yell
low was brought into the ranks OF
the American army in Cuba. Mr.. II. L.
Beach, who represented the Associated
Press along the fighting line at Santiago,
made the statement as follows:
sit is an actual fact, something 1 saw
with my own eyes,-that our army ambu
lances were used to carry Cuban refugees
who had fled from Santiago and who were
carrying the germs of the dread fever
with them. The people waded through
the mud and were picked up by the ambu-
lances. But, worst Of all it seems to me,
is the fact that the commissary wagons
which always were going to Siboney and
back carving food, returned loaded Nith
refugees and went back again loaded with
food. No yellow fever appeared in the
army before the lines were open to these
people from Santiago.

The Issues of 1900.
Richmond Times.l

Richmond Times.
We mentioned the other day that Col
onel William J. Bryan had asserted to- q
representative of the Macon (Ga.) Tele'
gpaph that he was not prepared to say
whether the free silver. sentiment was on
the increase or the decrease, and that
with the end of the wal new issues would
probably arise.
On commenting on these remarks of Mr..
Bryan the Telegraph in its editorial col
umns said that Mr. Bryan was right; that
those who claimed to own the copyright
of certain declarations of 1896, and who
expected to reach the first fruits in case of
popular endorsement would doubtless
struggle to keep their patent to the front,
but that the irrepresaible current of hui
man progress would sweep it out Of sight.
There is nothing significant in this COM
ment, seeing that the Telegraph has ever
been opposed to Mr.. Bryan and free sill
yer. But the comment of the Memphis
Commercial-Appeal on the Telegraph's
comment1is full of significance. Repro
ducing the Telegraph's article the Mem
ohis paper says:
The Telegraph has never agreed with
COLONEL Bryan on the financial question,
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1898-08-04

our would-be statesmen seem not to COM
prehend the situation, that we are now
sailing on the broad seas of national and
international politics.
The great need of tie South especially
is broader craftsmanship. The chief pur-
pose of our political leaders seems to be
that of discussing such stale questions as
the ratio of Is to and the ANTICIPATED Their
cries of our fathers on the tariff and social
questions. Machine politics has become
paramount i'll most of the States and in
Virginia especially has brought statesman
ship to the lowest condition it has occu-
pied in its history.

wHA1 SHALL TIE TERMS BE2

1t is now pretty well settled that peace
will be made in short time between Spain
and the United States. 1t is also we'll set
tied as to what the terms WILDE, with the
exception of the disposition of the Philip
pines. Spain will have to renounce ali
claim to Cuba and cede-Porto Rico to our
government. These results have been in
evitable from the very beginning of the
conflict. What the future of Cuba will be
will not and cannot yet be determined. 1t
will be made free from Spanish rule and
relieved from the burdensome debt which
its oppressors has fixed upon it. We may
rest assured that the United States will re-
deem its pledge of giving to the people Of
the island a stable, good government
which will be independent when all classes
of people of the island shall be prepared
for it.
When the war was commenced few per-
sons, if any, realized that the first battle
would be fought and the first conquest
made in the East But the unexpected
came and we are now in control of the
great city of Manila, in the Philippines,
and also of the Ladrone Islands. The
question is what will we do with them ?
Whether it is best or not the public mind
seems to be made up that we should hold
Manila and the Ladrones. Since the be-
ginning of the war it has been demon
strated that the policy of the United
States should be to control the trade of
the Orient as far as possible in the future.
For the base of such trade and for
coaling station and dock yard for our Pa
cific squadron Manila is the very place we
need. 1t is already great city, situated
on magnificent bay, can be easily fortl-
fed so strongly that it would be secure
from the assaults of a most formidable
foe. 1t is the gate through which the
S25, 900, 900 exports and imports of the
Philippines have been flowing, and through
which they would continue TO flow if the
United States should hold the city in the
future. 1t will become the rival of Hong
Kong in the trade of the "Orient."
1t, therefore, seems best that the United
States should hold Manila, but nothing
more in the Philippines. 1t should also
be provided in our treaty of peace with
Spain that Spanish oppression should
cease in the Philippines and protection be
given to Aguinaldo and his insurgent fol-
towers.
In the settlement of all these vexed
questions We have the most implicit faith
and confidence in President Mckinley.
He has shown himself equal to every
emergency that has arisen since the re-
sponsibility of war was thrust upon him.
He is in position to know what the
country needs and what itshould demand.
We are willing to trust him with its adj
iustment.

CURRENT TOPICS.

Commenting upon the fact that several
public houses in England are conducted
by clergymen. The London Chronicle
says: ''The first known TO enter on this
new line was the Rev. Osbert Mordaunt,
rector of Hampton Lucy, Stratford-on-
Avon, who has managed the local inn for
twenty years, the profits of which go to
local charities. The Rev. f. Willett, of
Scaynes Hill, Sussex, runs onaimilar lines,
and the working has reduced drunkenness
to a vanishing point, for the manager re-
fuses drink when he thinks the bibber has
had enough"
Egypt and the Orange Free State are
the only countries whose Governments
have declined to participate in the Paris
Exposition in 1900. Fifty States have ac-
cepted the French invitation, and four
others are still hesitating. The foreigners
will be represented in the general eEhibi-
ton buildings, but will also have large
share of space on the left bank of the Seine
upon which to erect special national build
ings.
The London Graphic has in its most
recent issue an illustration representing
President Mckinley in consultation with
his Cabinet. Among those grouped
AROUND the table, according to footnote,
are ''Lyman 7. Gate" and Charles
Elnorz Smith," Our English friends are
a triAe premature in mixing up with the
Germans.
Coney Island has new device to sep
arate the nickels from the multitude. 1t
is variation Of the oldtime maze. Wire
netting is set UP to form little avenues,
with doors here and there. The amuse-
ment consists in deliberately losing your
self in the maze and then trying to find
your way out 1t is by NO means selfish
pastime, for, inasmuch as the netting af'
fords clear view right through, the eff
forts of the prisoners to escape furnish fun
for the outgiders. !
The Boston Transcript expresses the
belief that Lake Tahoe, in the high Sier'

many Californians about the scenery of

1t is very hard for some of our political
leaders to realize that the world has pro-
dressed during the past fifty years and is
still progressing. If they have realized it,

the country said and did rather than prove
themselves capable of dealing with the

President Don't Fret.
Boston Journal. ]

Boston Journal.
There is one public man who is not
theorzing and fretting as to the problems.
which the war will bring in its train.
That man is the President of the United
States. president Mckinley" says
Coolidge" the Journals correspondent
in Washington, "has always been good
and patient waiter. He is not deaf to the
discussion which is going on in the press
as to the future of the island possessions
which, as a result of the war, are coming
into our control. He is not Indifferent TO
the suggestions as to our duty toward
these new acquired territories which are
ctowding in upon him. But che looks to
the God of nations and the universe for
his guidance, and he is willing to leave all
the future policies regarding the Philip
pines, Porto Rico and other Spanish pos
sessions that have been and must be taken
by our arms until the war will have been
ended and an honorable peace secured. "
To every request to express his own opln-
ion as to these things the President replies
that tive are not yet through with the
war-we have only begun it" His ener'
gies are concentrated on caring for our
army and our fleet and upholding them
as they move restlessly on from one vic
tory to another. His mind is devoted to
the work Immediately before him. Presi'
dent McKinley's position is the same and
right one.

There Is something quite refreshing
about the way the Spanish garrissons in
Eastern Cuba are surrendering. AL that
seems to be necessary to convince them OF
the desirabilitY of becoming prisoners of
war with a promise of a free ride to Spain
is glimpse of Toral's army at Santiago.
Lieutenant Miley, of General SKATER
staff, makes little excursion almost daily
to Palma, Soriano, Hongo or some other
fortress in the interior and gives glowing
account of the surrender idea. The Span
ish officers want to see for themselvse.
They return with Miley to Santiago. There
is tantalizing odor of American bacon
and beans hanging over the city. In the
cafes and saloons there is much gayety and
many rounds of free drinks.
Then there is a certainty of speedy re-
turn to mother, home and friends. We
can fancy the willy Miley saying, "Have
one with me, Senor," as he prepares to
bid goodbye to his guests. Certain it is
that they gallop back to their mates, and
surrender follows just as surely. This
mode of procedure reflects great credit
upon Spanish intelligence. Itshows that
the DUns know good thing when they
see it and are pushing it along. The diet
furnished to the prisoners by the Ameri-
can commissary is said to have remarka-
BILE effect upon them. Many are showing
a desire to become citizens Of the United
States or to remain in Cuba under the de-
lightful conditions now prevailing in and
around Santiago.
Bacon and beans, not bullets. may be
the ammunition Of the bloodless war of
The future. !
