ANOTHER man has invented q pro-
cess for making milk by combining
chemicals. He is Chicago man; but
not the same Chicago man who in
vented artificial eggs which could be
put on the market at half the price Of
genuine hen berries, and claimed that
he would soon have an egg perfected
that would hatch. The foolkiller got
the egg nan, and is supposed to be
after the milk maker now. He might
also give some attention to the people
who Eelieve such fakes.

JUSTICE Harlan is making reputa-
ton fer vigorous English. He says,
in reference to the destruction of the
Maine: But if.,it should turn out not
to be an accident, We will not hear
any more of north, south, cas-! or
west, no more of Republicans, Demo
Gratis or PopuI:st; VIZ will hear only Of
Americans. To that sentiment all
Americans will say aye.
a dispatch from Havana says
special guard is ready to be called out
in anticipation OF an attack on General
Lee. The news OF the Spanish govern
ment's request for the recall of Gen.
eral Lee and its refusal by President
Mckinley has had the effect OF further
exciting the enmity against Lee which
is felt by the Weyleritss. Lee keeps
cool.
The Chicago Chronicle recently
contsined scathing cartoon. In the
ocean is the wreck Of the Maine, with
the 7ultures picking the corpses OF
the dead seanen. In the foreground
is the great American Eagle trying to
90 to the rescue, but Marx Hanna has
him tied with strong cables to Wall
street. II Mckinley permits this,
Congress will not.
The supreme court of the United
States rendered an opinioU that rate
of interest, charged by a national
bank, in excess of the interest rate
prescribed by law OF the State in which

er twice the amount of the loan. This
decision puts national Danks and
tate banks on the same footing.

ditions might change by 1900," said
Mr.. Springer, "but judging by pres
ent indications, Mr. Bryan will be

The diabolical NJ. a. Hanna says
war is foolish. Not one in 500 OF those
clamoring for war have dollar's
worth of business interest at stake.
The L aited States will arbitrate. She
can't afford to fight, says this old
money grab5er.
The Charleston Critic says no hall
in that city would contain the popu-
lar cu!pouring that would greet Wm.
Jennings Bryan, the tribune OF the
people, if he should favor this city
with date for an address. And yet
two OF the Charleston papers claiu
that the silver craze is dead.
EX-PREsIDEST Cleveland suggests to
the gold men no. 70 lsy the 12ttering
JUNCTION ID their souls that the silver
craze is dead. The gold bug press
have ben proclaiming for months
that the silver craze WIS dead, but
they have not fooled Grover, VINO
