THE aoBBLER's ADDRESS.

Friends and Fellow Sufferers,
1 come not here to talk.
You know too well
The story of our thralldom.
We are slaves;
The bright sun rises to his course and lights
race of slaves-upa tree!
He SETS and his last beams fall on slave
Going to roostl
Not such as swept along by the fun tide of power
The ccnqueror led to crimson glory
And undying fame,
But base Christmas slaves
Whose crimson glory is no more
Than Cranberries,
Mingled with the pale cast
OF celery,
And whose martial cloak
And winding sheet
Are oysters and gravy.
Such shames are common.
But have known deeper wrongs
that speak to you,
had brother once,
A loo loo bird
Full of bronze feathers and hope,
And with a gobble in his manly bosom
Like the melodious pleasing
Ola big bass drum.
How loved that gracious boy
Younger by fifteen months,
Brother at once and son.
He left my side.
An autumn bloom on his
Waving wattles
And strut in his proud naughty tread
In one short hour
That pretty, harmless bird was slain,
Butchered to make human holiday
Gods can turkey long debate
Which of the two to choose,
Christmas or Death?
And am told that vengeance is not ours
Oh peers of mine,
To you must unload by grief
If you have tears to shed,
Prepare to shed them now
Are we to bear the ills we have,
Or fly to others that we wot not Of?
Ny voice is still for war
Rouse, ye Turkeys!
Rouse, ye slaves
Have We fat sonsg
Look at the next Christmas
To see them die
Have ye tender daughters
Look to see them torn from your arms,
And carried to the shambles-
And If you dare call for justice,
Be answered by their hash
Yet this is thus.
And this Christmas law

Halifax, N. S., March 19.-The steamer
Delta arrived from ST. Vincent to-day
with the cargo of the wrecked steamer
Castilan. Members of the crew of the
Delta report that the Castilian may be
floated. They say she is apparently not
any more damaged than when she went
on the ledge. The Delta's people are
loud in their denunciation of the van
dalism they saw and they were in
formed of. A hundred boats swarmed
around the Castilian and the people in
them defied all authority. They carried
away everything they could in the
shape of cargo and smashed the saloon
doors for the sake of the brass fittings
Captain Perrett attempted to drive the
wreckers off the ship at the pistols
point, but they dared him to shoot
Customs officers from Halifax and Var
mouth We're also put on board, but the
wreckers only treated them with con-
tempt and went on with the work of
destruction uninterrupted. Hundreds of
boats were there from all around, while
men swarmed over every part of the
ship, hacking, smashing and destroying

taken out of it. but it was worse to
serve it to the army in the putrid con-
dition in which so many have testi-
fed it was found. But there is an
other thing about the beef scandal that
the inquiry has disclosed. and that is
the quality of the meat selected or
iginally for canning. A condensed de-
scription of Gamers taken from
Chicago despatch cannot be suspected
as unfair to the packers. 1t says:
THE cattle used for it are known
as Gamers, and they are lean, lank
unprepossessing brutes. with very lit
tie but hide and horns. In the prepar-
alton of canned beef. only the brisket
plate or small ribs or the thin part
of the neck are used. This tough and
strngy meat is cut into strips and sec
tions. from three to six inches long,
and then boiled. The water and juices
are then drained off and the meat is
damned into cans. Then it is boiled
again. and after the vent has been
This is the canned beef of commerce.
1t is not roast beef in any sense what
ever, but boiled beef. 1t is made of the
portions of cattle which, if the beasts
were fat, would be utilized for corned
beef, but there was nothing on the bony
Gamers to corn"
Eagan thought that kind of meat
good enough for the men behind the
guns. Miles didn't think so, and the con-
sequence of Miles protest is that the
war department has quit using canned
roast beef as an army ration.

1T HAS REACHED ST. LOUIS.
Quiet Investigation in That City Into the
Beef Scandal.

st. Louis, March 1e.-The army beef
scandal has reached st. Louis in the shape
of quiet investigation for the purpose of
obtaining what available evidence exists
for use before the war board of inquiry.
Last week Colonel E. Darlington, one of
the inspectors general was in the city to
see number of prospective witnesses
with the view of ascertaining II their tes-
timony would be material. 1t is unofficial
~ announced that the result was more
than startling.
Inspector Darlington paid the city a
hasty visit and proceeded to Omaha,
where he is said to be engaged in obtain
ing evidence germane to the points at is

or 20 witnesses have been summoned and
If rumors are true their testimony will
prove highly interesting. Most of these

personal experience as to the quality of
the beef served to their respective regi-
ments and companies.

Current Comment.
Willing to Take Clark.

From the Yellowstone Journal.
A repetition of the war that tore the
democratic party of Butte asunder las
fall is promised this spring. The demo-
cratic city convention was held a few
days ago and. as usual. the "Hll' aai
things its own way and nominated the
ticket. The Clark crowd was totally ig-
nored and now the Miner bolts AMI lie"
fuses to support the nominees of the con-
vention. Like last fall. it will probably
now come out in support of an indepen-
dent, or citizens movement. composed Of
soreheads of all parties. To one at this
distance it looks very much is If the best
thing the Miner and its owner, w. A.
Clark, could do would be to split blankets
with democracy and come out squarely
with the republicans. In a speech made
after his election Clark declared himself
as opposed to the democratic policy Of
free trade, and as the silver question is
dead beyond all hope of resurrection,
nothing remains of the democratic party
to which he can subscribe. To simply call
himself democrat without being in ac-
cord with the principles of that party
places him In an anomalous position
which he will find it hard to explain.

ANIMALS WILL SUFFER,
Deer and Elk in the Park Unable to OBJ
tain Food.

washington. March 19.-Captain Erwin.
acting superintendent of the Yellowstone
National park has reported to the
interior department that the unprecedent-
ed fall of snow in the park this year I'M
questionably will lead to the death of
many antelope, deer and elk before the
winter is over
In places in the park the snow is more
than Il feet in depth and is firmly crusted
everywhere which prevents these animals
from digging through and obtaining their
food from underneath. This state of af-
fairs, it is said, will last all this month,
and perhaps next A small appropriation
from the park revenue for buying hay is
asked. Many deer are now in the imme-
diate neighborhood of the military post
picking up bits of hay. The scouts report
the elk very weak and believe that unless
steps are taken to feed them the deaths
among them will amount to thousands.
The main herd of buffalo. however, being
in region of hot springs that melt the
snow, are getting along fairly well.

Fresh Light on the Dreyfus Case.

@ COMMENTING upon the flight of
Of General de Boisdeffre to Join
Major Esterhazy In London the
Buffalo Express regards it as the most
convincing evidence that the tide has
turned in favor of justice and that the
vindication of Dreyfus is near at hand"
1t will be remembered that Boisdeffre
was chief of the general staff at the
time Dreyfus was tried and convicted
and it has long been the belief of those
best qualified to know that he was
really the man whom the prosecution
of Dreyfus was intended to shield. The
story with which Boisdeffres name is
connected does not concern the rela-
tons between France and Germany,
but the alliance with Russia. 1t goes
back to the time when France resolved
on equipping her army with quick-fir-
ing cannon-a task which has only Just
been completed at a cost of some $780,
100000. The alliance with Russia had
then just been formed and the French
populace was in a frenzy of delight
over it. Russia asked the French war
office for plans and drawings of the
cannon it had decided to build with
view to supplying the same type to
her own army. The French replied that
they would furnish the plans only after
they had completed the rearmament
of their own troops and then on condi-
ton that Russia would agree to give
the order for the manufacture of the
Gums n French a tho p,,s
sian government has several good gun
factories of its own, it refused to buy
the plans on those terms and set
about getting them by underhand
means. 1t succeeded, according to the
story, through no less a person than
General de Bosdeffre himself, the chief
of the general staff
Rumors of what had been done be-
gan to come out. They were not def
mite enough to hint at more than the
| fact that some one in the war office
had sold plans to a foreign govern
| ment, but this was enough to fill Bots
deffre and his friends with alarm. The
anti-Semite agitation was then at its
| height and the plan was hit upon of
making Dreyfus, the only Jew connect
| ed with the general staff. the scape-
| goat for his superiors. So the case
against him was trumped up, the pre-
| tense being made that he sold plans
| to Germany. This version of the af-
fair fits in admirably with all the
known circumstances. 1t explains how
the German emperor was able to make
such positive and indignant denial that
any representative of his government
had secured plans from DreYfus. 1t ex-
