President Faure Dead.

~ HE news of the death of Francois
Felix Faure, president Of the
French republic, came with
great suddenness, no intimation having
been received that he was in i'll health,
Stricken with apoplexy death came in
few moments.
1t seems to be the fate of the presi-
dents of the French republic that they
shall not serve out the terms for which
they are elected. Whether it be death,
removal from office, resignation or as
sassination, something happens to
make a change in the presidency be-
fore full term is served. The Third
republic was established in 1871 after
France under the second empire had
been so soundly thrashed by Germany.
Theirs was the first president, and
after serving two years of the term of
seven, he was forced to resign. He was
not popular with the military element
although to-day he is one of the most
revered Of Frenchmen. Marshal Mac
Mahon, the choice of the soldiers, sue
ceeded him. After five years he found
iiiiSSAi unpopular anu pOWefleSS, ana
on January so. 1879, he resigned to be
succeeded by Jules Grevy.
In recent years Carnot, after a few
years of service, was assassinated
Casimir-Perier succeeded him, but sud
denly retired after serving only four
months. Faure was elected on Jan
uary Il, 1895, and had served little
more than four years of his term.
Faure was of Protestant descent. al
though personally a Roman Catholic
and was born in Paris on January 80,
1871. He was a self-made man and
began life as a journeyman tanner in
Touraine, but eventually became a
shipowner in Havre, where for some
time he was president of the local
chamber of commerce. During the
Franco-GeTm war he was at the
head of a detachment of volunteers
and brought supplies from Havre to
Paris in aid of those burnt out by the
commune. AT the election of August
q, 1881, he presented himself as a par
liamentary candidate in the third cir
CONSUMPTION of Havre and was elected
as republican by 5s76 votes as
against 5,675 polled for NJ. Levafllant
du Douet, his monarchist opponent.

penalty. A highwayman, or anyone
who shoves a revolver in ones face and
calls on him to throw up his hands or
die is murderer at heart. In several
instances in Butte and elsewhere in
Montana highwaymen have committed
murder and escaped punishment. If
there were a law enacted by the Mon
,tana Legislature making highway rob-
berry punishable by hanging it might
save citizens from the necessity of exc
cutting a first class lynching or two
But perhaps before, making highway
robbery punishable by hanging Mon
tana should see to it that murder in
this state is punished by death. That
would be a great improvement.

BUTTER FROM PEANUTS.
Process Simple and the Resulting Product
Cheap.

From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat
A new factory has just been put into
operation in Kokomo Ind, for the manu-
facture of butter from peanuts. For
year or more Lane Bros. of that city have
been working on process for making
butter from the peanut to compete with
the product of the farm COW, and have
succeeded in producing the desired article.
AT the present price of the nuts the but
ter can be sold at Is cents per pound.
The process of manufacture is no secret
The nuts, after the hulls are removed, are
carefully hand-picked and faulty kernels
removed. They are then roasted in
large rotary oven. Again they are gone
over by hand for the removal of scorched
grains. The nuts are then put through
mill and ground as fine as the finest -four,
the natural oil in the grains giving 1t the
appearance and consistency of putty as 1t
leaves the mill, except that it is more of
an orange color. By the addition of fl
trated water, to reduce it to more plia
BILE state, the butter is complete, no other
| ingredient, not even salt. being used. 1t
never grows rancid and keeps in any eli
mate. 1t may be put up in one two, five,
10, % and 100-pound tin cans and sealed.
The new butter Is already in great de-
mand at sanitariums and health resorts.
1t is used for all purposes ordinary butter
Is used for, including shortening and fry
ing. Physicians pronounce it more health
full than COW butter, and it is much less
expensive. By the addition of more water
a delicious cream is made, and, If de-
sired, it can in the same way be reduced
to the consistency of milk. The new but
ter factory is located but few rods from
a large dairy farm and is running in OPP
position to it.

Silver in the Senate.

rs HARTMAN JONES of the demo-
" cratic national central commit
tee has recently issued letter
devoted to discussion of the proba-
Bile complexion of the new senate and
of the one which is to follow it with
reference to the silver question. Sena-
tor Jones bases his calculations on a
test vote taken January %, 1898, on the
Teller resolutions, and he concludes
that if the bimetallists succeed in elect
ing their candidate for president in 1900
they will also secure a clear working
majority in the senate. On the Teller
resolutions the bimetallists had ma
jority of fifteen. A gold man was SUBJ
sequently elected from Oregon to fill
a vacancy, reducing the majority to
fourteen. Seven of those who voted
for the Teller resolutions will be sue
ceeded on March by senators opposed
to the unlimited coinage of silver. The
seven silver men retiring are Allen of
Nebraska, Mitchell of Wisconsin, Muir
ply of New York. Roach of North Da-
kota, Smith of New Jersey, Turpie of
Indiana and Write Of California. This
would leave the next senate a tie on
the silver question.
Speaking of the chances of the bimet-
allists controlling the senate in 1901,
Senator Jones says that this year the
terms have expired of an unusual num-
Der of bimetal1ists coming from close
states. In 1901, however, the terms will
expire of larger number of gold men.
The terms of thirty senators expire
that year. Silver men will undoubted-
ly succeed retiring silver men in these
eleven states-Ala bama, Arkansas, Col
orado, Idaho, Mississippi, North Caro-
lima, South Carolina Tennessee, Texas
and Virginia. Gold men will undoubt-
eddy succeed gold men in Maine, Mas
sachusetts and Rhode Island The gold
men may make gain in New Hamp-
shire where a silver man retires, but
the silver men are sure ITO gain two in
Louisiana and Kentucky now repre-
scented by gold men. In South Dakota
and Delaware silver men may be sue
ceeded by gold men, while in the fol-
lowing states Chairman Jones believes
| the silver men have splendid prospects
of making gains: Iowa, Kansas, Michi-
gan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey,
Oregon, West Virginia and Wyoming.
There is much encoura cement for the
cause of silver in the letter of Chair
| man Jones, showing as it does by care
full estimates that while the silver
| cause may have temporarily lost
ground, with good work there is no
reason why the senate in 1901 should
not again be on the side of silver

Miller at IloilO.

~ DVICES from Washington indi-
cate great satisfaction in gov
! eminent circles over the easy
triumph of the American arms at Iloilo
The war department admits that it ex-
pected the capture of Iloilo to be the
most difficult enterprise yet undertaken
in the war. 1t had been reported that
for four days previous to the landing
of General Miller's troops armed natives
had been swarming into Iloilo Fully
1000 soldiers, armed with Remingtons
and Mausers, had taken possession of
the church and government buildings
Outside of the city were camped nearly
10000 mixed natives armed with knives
and spears, and in Negros, a nearby
island, 10000 more men We're reported
to be in readiness for the call Works
We're being thrown up and streets bar
ricaded. All reports indicated desper-
ate resistance. Yet Miller with the assis-
lance of the guns of the ships put the
enemy to flight with ease that was al
most ridiculous.
General NJ. P. Miller, the officer in
command at 1loilo. is Col. Marcus P
Miller of the Third United States artil-
lery. He graduated from West Point
in 1858. ranking eighth in a class of
twenty-seven members. General Mil
Ter was brevetted during the civil war
for gallantry at Malvern hill in July,
1862, and at Dinwiddie courthouse in
April, 1866. He was also brevetted col
onel for gallantry against the Modoc
Indians in the lava beds, April II, 1873
and for special gallantry and ability
against the Nez Perez Indians at Clear
water, Idaho, July II and u, 1877. He
became major of the Fifth United
States artillery in September 1888; lieu
tenant colonel of the First artillery in
October, 1894, and colonel of the Third
artillery. April 80, 1897. He is the only
West Point officer of high rank in the
Philippines.

Wheat a Year Ago.

~ NE year ago yesterday wheat was
~ bid up to s1.O3B cents per bushel
the highest price it has reached
since 1891 Yesterday wheat was quoted
at 72h cents. 1t was the wheat cor
ner which broke young Letter that made
the price of wheat so high a year ago.
Otherwise the price at that time would
have been about the same as now.
There was no reason other than spec
ulation for the high price that was
reached one year ago yesterday.
What was ruin for Letter was I'M
doubtedly a good thing for farmers
who had wheat to sell. His money paid
off many mortgages of long years
standing for farmers in Kansas, the
Dakotas, Minnesota and other wheat
growing states, and built many new
barns. But instead of Letter getting
the credit for it, the republican pa
pers insisted that the credit belonged
to the administration, that it was NC
Kinley prosperity"
If Mckinley is responsible for the
lISh pllSG "IiCdl ItdSutu veal dSo,
why doesn't he keep 1t up? If he is
responsible for the high price then
why is he not responsible as we'll for
the low price now? Has he lost his
grip? AS matter of fact, with the
element of specula ton left out wheat
should be higher to-day than it was
a year ago. The war and the famine
in Russia should make the price higher
this winter than it was last winter.

The White Mans Burden.
ON the Chicago Times-Herald

From the Chicago Times Herald.
From General Ludlow, governor of the
city of Havana, comes this evidence of
how we are taking up the white mans
burden in that breeding spot of the yellow
fever
Death rate for January reduced 40 per
cent. below last year. Causes, sanitation
OF streets and houses cleaning local points
OF inspection, vigilance in watching and
lsolating infectious cases, medicines and
supplies to sick and food to starving"
And the best of 1t is we are doing it
with Cuban labor and out of the customs
receipts of a Cuban port. Thus again, in
the language of a Buffalo parodist, have
we proved in action as on the stump
The Lord made Anglo-Saxons
To make poor natives hump"
1t looks as If we were about to convert
Havana into reproach and shining
example to uncleaned and badly policed
American cities.

In the cabinet formed by Gambetta on
November IA, 1881, Felix Faure was
under secretary of state to the new
ministry of commerce and the colonies.
He went out of office with the other
members of the government in January,
1882, but was recalled to the same post
in NJ. Jules Ferry's last cabinet, formed
in September. 1888. He retired with his
colleagues in March, 1885. Subsequent
ly. as one of the chiefs of the group oil
the republican union, he often spoke
on colonial questions and was consld-
cred an authority on the Chinese,
Japanese and kindred questions. AT
the election of October, 1885, M Felix
Faure was returned as a republican for
the Seine Inferiure, and for the third
time occupied his old post at the colon
ial ministry in the Tirard cabinet from
January 5, 1883, to the following Feb
ruary.
At the elections of September, 1889,
Faure was returned for the second
division of Havre, beating his mon
archist opponent Manselme. by large
majority. In the Dupuy government
he was minister of marine, and in this
capacity showed a reforming spirit. On
January II, 1895, he was elected on a
second ballot to the presidency of the
French republic, rendered vacant by
the sudden retirement of NJ. Casimir-
Perier At the first ballot M. Brisson
was returned by an insufficient major
ity, and when this was announced, M.
Waldeck- Rousseau, another candidate
for the presidency, retired in favor of
his fellow moderate, NJ. Faure, who was
elected by 430 votes, as against 361
given to NJ. Brisson. M. Faure was
government or moderate republican.

stirred up irrespective of him and in adj

were driven by the stencil of the rotten
beef to bury it as soon as the cans were
opened and the surgeons who found the
eating of the poisoned food a chief source
OF disease and death in the army and the
officers, scores of them who made the
cutlery, which it was their duty to make,
against the hideous crime perpetrated up-
on American heroes, for gain, stirred UP
the scandal and would have stirred it
