HOW WILL BRYAN DO IT?

1t viii be very interesting next year,
when Bryan goes upon the stump TO
attack trusts, to learn how he is to
treat the meat combination for the re-
cent increase in their prices.
In 1896, it Will be remembered, Bry-
an fairly wept when he told of the
hard work the FARMERS and others en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits had to
make beth ends meet, and he longed
solely for the day when the price CT
everything should be what it ought to
be, and the sellers OF land products cor
reepondingly happy. just at this time
cattle On the hoof and other food ami
mails are fetching a higher price alive
than for many years. As a result the
men Wiho buy the animals for the pur-
pose CT Strengthening them have put up
their price, and in turn the retailers
have done the same thing.
Bryan must go buck to first pr.n-
c.ples.. If he attacks the men who buy
and kill the cattle and other animals
he cannot fail to recall that the men
who raised the animals got their IN
crease of price and they are just the
1nen toward whom the Nebraska coln-
nel's sympathies go out
Tt is the same way with the raise n
the price of flour by the millers' trust
last year The farmers get more for
their wheat, the millers more for their
flour and the bakers more for their
bread. AS soon as the p1lce of food
products go up the consumers must
necessarily pay the increase. The
price of wheat and c9ttls cannot be
advanced solely for the benefit OF
farmers and cattle raisers. 1t is non
sense to expect such thing. The only
point at issue Is whether the men who
buy and Kill cattle and the men who
sci the meat increase their prices out
Of proportion to the increased price
pi.id FOR the hive animals. Cattle rails
ens are surely TO be considered as en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits. Do
Bryan and his followers bogIudge
them their prosperity?

THE FRENCH FARCE.

There is not high school debating
Grub in this country that could not
give the court now attempting to try
the case Of Captain Dreyfus some ma
tera1 points on course Of procedure
and regularity of action. The court
martial as conducted at Rennes is a
G.sgraca There is not the slightest
semblance of regularity of action and
the hit-or-miss manner of calling and
recalling witnesses ard permit ing
every general or colonel who sees fit
to jump up and have lbs shy, becomes
amusing were it MT for the serious
ness of the subject under discussion
If the trial at Rennes had been con-
ductad as a court should be conducted,
case would have been closed by this
time. 1t is difficult to comprehend
the French method as now disclosed.
1t is neither fair to the accused nor to
MS eccuseTs. Ii is a parody on justice
and those who are responsible for the
absurd proceedings have demonstrated
their unfitness for the work imposed

succeeded in dragging from most IN

There is NO dO'ubt th-t if the trial had
been held in this country counsel for
the defence would have long since
shattered every bit CT testimony Of
fered against Dreyfars. Even an insig-
nificant Georgia paper proclaims the
fact that it could Iiok cut lawyers OF
its personal acquaintance who would
hava brought about an acquittal by
this time.
The whole thing has been a tumble
ard a parody. M. L9ibori, who re-
turned to the court ate, an absence of

themselves upon their patience, when
they are really lazy. Others think
they shculd be praised for being re

they are anaemic. Nobody ever yet
Wen by patience as it is commonly IN
der~i5COd. Certainly there is a spirit
which endGres and still strives, but
that is mot mere patience. 1t is the
grander quality of perseverance.
There IS no d,sadener % ambition
and achievement like cOntentment and
patience The Swede girl in your
kitchen is patient beyond words. She
listens to your eXpostulaitions, your
reprimauds, with wide-Cipen, patient
eyes and gentle face. and she strai ght-
way gees and fOrgets whst manner of
suggestions you made to her and does
this wrong things in the wrong way

ISSUES ITS ANNUAL REPORT
Statistics Regarding st. JOseph's Hos.
pital Are Given to the
Public.

The annual report of st. Joseph's hospital
has been given to the public. The pamphlet
recites the many advantages the hospital
possesses in the way Of accommodations for
the care Of the sick and gives the statistics
showing the number Of cases treated during
the year.
During 1898. to increase the facilities of
the surgical department, a building 35x70
feet and two stories in height was erected
at a cost Of $40, 1000. 1t was opened Septem-
Der 1. Besides two special operating rooms,
%oculist, bath. case and cloak rooms, 1t has a
spacious and well lighted rotunda. which is
fitted with the latest modern appliances and,
for clinical purposes will seat 100 students.
The hospital will accommodate 300 patients
at one time. During the year 1898, 1,703 per-
sons were treated at the institution. Nearly
half this number were purely medical and
a great majority Of those remaining were
surgical cases.
The hospital Is under the charge OF the
Sisters Of Saint Francis and is based on
charity in every sense Of the word. 1t is
open to all the afflicted and patients are ad-
mitted regardless Of nationality or religion.
The poor are admitted free.
Those who wish to inspect the general ar
rangements of the building Will be shown
through on the first and third Sundays OF
each month.

AUTOMOBILE CABS IN PARIS
Coming Into General Use-Electricity
the FavOrite as a Motive
Power.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Consul General
Gowdy at Paris reports to the State depart
ment that there has been a marked increase
during the last year in the use of automobiles
in the city Of Paris, not only as pleasure
vehicles, but for practical application as
public cabs and for business purposes as
delivery wagons. 1t is announced that soon
there will be 100 motor cars driven by cleo
tricity running in the streets of Paris, and.
If the experiment be successful, the cabs
will be increased to 1000. With this par
ticular project in view a large plot of ground
has been secured, where the building Of
works necessary for the housing OF the cabs
and machinery for the electric supply are
being rapidly completed. The training
ground also has been made for the cab
men. This is laid out with every possible
form OF p~aving-wood, asphalt, stone, ETC.
including two steep hills. Here and there
are dotted about a number of dummy figures
and in and out of these the cabmen have to
maneuver under the orders of an instructor.
AS a rule in four lessons the driver Is ready
to navigate Paris and after ten lessons is
considered thoroughly competent. Each cab
is supplied with sufficient power to be driven
thirty miles at about eight miles an hour.
Among these systems of automobiles in
Paris there are many using petroleum, which
called forth a most pronounced objection
from the public by reason, first, OF the odor
Following their passage; second, the noise,
and, third, for the passengers, the extraor-
binary vibration. A contamination OF great
value would be a machine which would
combine durability. speed and economy with
out these annoyances and defects.

SIXTEENTH INFANTRY ARRIVES

The Missouri Pacific landed the battalion

The battalion was carried over the Mobile G.
Ohio from Huntsville to st. Louis, and there

Word has been received from w. c.
