Messenger asks the following: SEN
ator Gears campaign manager in the
city of Des Moines is the Hon. Edward
H. Hunter, ex- democratic treasurer of
Adams county. ex-chairman of the
democratic state central committee, and
ex-democratic postmaster of Des
Moines. Why doesn't the senator get a
republican to run his campaign? There
are at least twelve thousand of these
in Polk county alone and some of them
pretty bright fellows, too. Or does Gear

RUssIA's OPEN DOORS.
New York Tribune.


Peter the Great, we are told, could not
endure to be shut up in inland Moscow.
He wanted "a window through which tc
look out upon Europe" And so he built
st. Petersburg. His SUCCESSORS have
found that window scarcely more salts
factory than he found Moscow's inner
room. They have wanted not a window
ice coated half the year, but door
open all the year: and not only one
door, but at least three of them, south.
and east and west For before Peters
time Russia touched no sea but the Arc
tic and the landlocked Caspian, and Pc
ter's utmost efforts gained for her only
narrow footing on the shore of the
Baltic. 1t remained for the great Cath
crime to extend the Baltic frontier down
almost to Memel, and to gain footing
on the shore of the Black Sea. and fol-
Alexander III. fully to establish the en-

people and plunge us into war with
that power. Almost daily, covering a
period of several months, the dis
patches from Manila declared Germany
was our secret foe. One cunning mis-
representation after another was ca
bled to this country and published in all
the newspapers. Acts that never took
place, declarations that were never
made, and circumstances that at no
time existed, We're cited as proof that
Germany was plotting against US. Not
withstanding frequent and official de-
malls by the German authorities, this
Internal prodding, these exasperating
tactics We're persevered in until
through unparalleled magnanimity of

German interests placed under our pro-

How any German with the faintest
spark of love for the old Naterland,
with even one drop of Teutonic blood in

stances cast republican ballot and

dastardly act of a party that tried to

bound shore Of the Japan Sea, but on
the always open Yellow Sea.
We discussed the other day the aig-i
niflcance of Russia'D acquisition OF and
opening OF Talien-W Wan. Her enjoyment
of entire freedom in the Black Sea and
through the Dardanelles has also long
since been considered. Not least im-'
portaht. though least noticed, is the
opening of the new port of Ekaterina,
on the Thurman Coast. Apparently Rus
STA has abandoned, or placed in abey-
ance, her desire to cut across the Nor
wegian panhandle and acquire Tromsoe.
just as Canada wants to cut our Alas
kan panhandle and take Juneau, Dyea
and Pyramid Harbor. She has. there
fore, contented herself with creating a
new city at the nearest available point
to the Norwegian frontier. This Is Ekat
erina. 1t lies scarcely a hundred miles
east of the Norwegian frontier. 1t has
a splendid landlocked but never ice
locked harbor, hundred feet deep. 1t
has massive granite docks and quays,
warehouses and fortresses, courthouse
and hotels: in fact is a we'll equipped
city. And 1t is connected with st.
Petersburg and with all Europe by a
trunk railroad. The whole thing is the
result of the work of the last three
years.
So the great empire has at last Its
three open doors, looking south and east
and west, and giving 1t easy and direct
intercourse with all the world. We have
been told hitherto, innumerable times,
that these were all Russia was fighting
for. and that when she secured them
she would cease her restless aggressions
and settle down to that industrial and
commercial development which the pos
session of such doors would make pos
sible, and for which they were absolute
lily requisite. Now we shall see. The
time has come. The doors are open.
1t is the happy omen that simultan-
eously with the opening of them the
Russian Emperor issued to the world
his irencon. But beyond doubt Russia
now has great opportunity for peace
full domestic development, and has in
calculable need of 1T. Beyond doubt,
too, such development. sincerely entered
upon and earnestly pursued, must make
for peace. We shall see whether the
militant restlessness of Russia has led
lsup to greatness in peace or whether
| vast possibilities in peace will only In
cite to further schemes of warlke con-
quest. At present the world has ground
for hoping that the opening of these
three doors will prove of purport con-
| trary to that of the opening OF those OF

Regarding the nomination of David
Brant, in Clinton county, for represent

to say: 1T is not often that the merits
of newspaper man are recognized so
quickly as they have been in the case of
David Brant, of Clinton. Mr.. Brant
went up from Linn county year ago
to take charge of Clinton's leading re-
publican newspaper and the Clinton
county republicans have now nominated
| him for representative. He had the
/ honor of representing Linn county in
the legislature at one time, and the
Clinton county republicans have made

usual honor. He is hardheaded,

THE CATTLE SITUATION

The cattle situation seems to indicate /
beyond doubt scarcity of matured cattle
suitable for the feed lot, and scarcity OF
we'll bred animals of all kinds likely to I
to feed and make finished cattle [
of quality sufficient to command the |
higher prices in the market. We do not
wish to deter any of our friends from
feeding cattle; indeed under proper
conditions, we are more inclined to en-
courage it, but 1t should be remembered
that good profit and large losses may
both be found in the feed lot the same
season. One man will buy badly, pay
ing moderate price for poor feeders or
an extravagant price for good ones, and
then feed carelessly and lose money;
another may buy carefully, allowing
nothing to come into the feed lot except
good steers at fair prices, and feed them
carefully and make money. All ques-
tions about whether 1t is advisable to
feed, and we receive great many OF
them, must be eventually answered by
the man himself who proposes to feed,
and the answer must depend on his own
individual conditions Can he get cat
tie of good quality, at fair figure, ana
does he know how to feed them after he
has bought them? II seems to be fairly
certain that we'll finished cattle Will for
some time TO come command a good
price in the market, and 1t also seems
certain that feed will be plenty and
fairly cheap These are two points upon
which one is entitled to venture an
opinion. On the other two points,
whether particular individual knows
how to buy good cattle and knows how
to feed them after he has them,
stranger can hardly venture an opin-
ion.
1t seems to be reasonably certain that
fairly high meat prices. and consequent
lly fairly high prices for cattle. Will pre-
| vail for some time to come. Since lS92
! there has been decrease in cattle
amounting in round numbers to about
\ 400 900. Demand has increased partly
because of increase in population, part
| ly because times have become better
| and money to buy with plentier, and
partly because the foreign demand has
| taken more OF our cattle. With more
mouths to fill and more wages to buy
WITH coupled with fewer cattle IN sale
condition, stronger prices up to GER
i tain limit can be expected The limit
will lie in the fact that II prices become
too high consumers will con

/ The ability of the people of this countr,
TO reduce meat consumption withou
going hungry is greater, perhaps, thai
that of any people on earth, for no civil
lied nation uses meats more wastefull.
than do the American people.
The supply OF cattle marketed durini

bean almost equal TO that for the sam
, lperiod last year. The receipts at en-
Ecago may be taken as typical OF those Q
other markets, and there the number

Chicago. Nov. 30-BefOre what was
probably the largest crowd that ever
gathered to witness a foot ball game
in the west the eleven from the Uni
versity of Wisconsin defeated the Uni
versity of Michigan eleven on the Ma
tiOnal league ball grounds this morn
ing. Probably 1000 persons saw the
game. The mighty right leg of Pat
O'Dea, the Wisconsin captain and full
back, was a big factor in the one
sided score of II to ;. as he was re-
sponsible for ten of the points scored
by his team. Once he lifted the ball
cleanly between the goal posts from
the 35-yard line and once his punt
went so far that Mclean misjudged it
and fumbling, gave Hyman a chance
to fall on the pigskin behind Michi-
gan's goal posts, which he did. The
other touchdown by Wisconsin was
made on clear hard foot ball in the
second half, the light but active line
men from Wisconsin opening holes in
the Michigan forwards, through which
Peele, Larson. Curtis and Blair plunged
for big gains. The defensive work of
the Wisconsin eleven was remarkable
and time and again Sweely and Keena
were forced to punt.
Michigan's only touchdown was
made by Mclean in the second half
after a beautiful run of ortyfive
yards, in which the fleetfooted Michi-
gan man cleared his field without diff
ficulty.

PITTSToN.

Special to The Scranton Tribune
Pittston, Nov. 90.-Mrs. John Lutz, of
West Pittston, who was murderously
assaulted by her husband with an axe,
still remains in a compatose state. Drs.
Bubler and Atherton are making every
effort to save the womans life, but
she stands one chance in a hundred Of
living. Several bones have been re-
moved from the skull and also a por-
ton Of the brain. Her left side is COM
pletely paralyzed.
The condition of Lutz was somewhat
improved today and he was taken to
the county Jail by Chief of Police Rich
ards and County Detective Johnson
this morning. The doctors say he
shows no signs of insanity, but is ap-
parently possessed of an ungovernable
temper. which is easily aroused when
he has been drinking.
When taken from the house this
morning LutZ begged to be allowed to
see his wife before she died. He cried
like a babe several times when spoken
to about the crime. Today he doesn't
deny he committed the deed but says
that during Tuesday something seemed
to tell him to do ii.

MONEY IN CoRNsTALKs.
Cause for Happiness on Part of the
Monroe Farmer.

Special to The Scranton Tribune.
Stroudsburg, Nov. 30.-Some years
ago the Monroe county farmer consid-
cred the value of his corn crop prac-
tlcally concluded with the husking Of
the corn. What was left was worth
perhaps. sixty cents an acre as fodder,
rather under that figure than over it,
as rule. Science, ever busily seeking
uses for by-products, sought to make
sugar and alcohol from the stalk of
the corn, but unavailingly. .... 90. ..
Now, however, experiments along diff
ferent lines have established the value
of the by-products of the corn crop as
probably second to no agricultural pro-
duct of a similar nature grown in this
country, and has almost. If not quite
doubled the receipts of the corn grow
ers, as the stalk is made practically as
valuable as the grain. There is now a
home market where the farmer can get
from SO to IS a ton for cornstalks: that
is, from $6 to $l2 an acre for what has
hitherto brought him in sixty cents at

GAME SHIPPER ARRESTED.
Patrick S. Kane, Of Forest Lake, Be-
fore a Justice of the Peace.

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Montrose, Nov. SO.-A warrant was
issued on Tuesday at the instigation
of La Grange Griffis, charging Pat
rick S. Kane, a prominent farmer, liV-
ing near Forest Lake with unlawfully
shipping game outside of the state.
The case was called before Squire
Courtright, Wednesday afternoon, and
after hearing the evidence of a fcw
witnesses the case was adjourned un-
til Friday. 1t is alleged that Mr..
Kane sent his. young nephew to Mont
rose to ship a box which the express
company, it appears, refused to ac-
cept, so the young man drives to the
narrow gauge depot and requests u
ship by freight box of young pigs.
In some way information leaked out
that the box did not contain pigs; so
Griffs informed Constable Chapman,
who at. once went to the narrow
gauge depot and upon opening the
box, found IL contained slXty-three
partridges, sixteen rabbits and tive
squirrels. The case will be looked
forward to with a great deal of in
terest among our local sportsmen.
