in the Review Of Reviews for Septem-
Der. A most important chapter in the
history OF our Philippine campaign
finds it's inspiration in the conditions
that existed in December, 1898, and jan
uary, 1899, or the two months before the
first fighting with the insurgents. In
most records of that period very little
prominence has been given to the work
of the commission appointed by Gen.
Otis to confer with a similar body
named by Aguinaldo for the purpose of
reaching some common basis of settle
ment. He says:
Before the critical student of the
warfare in the Philippines draws his
conclusions about our responsibility for
the present conflict he should consider
thoughtfully the efforts of this commits

the disease In India, Professor Vaughan
discusses the possibility Of Its spread
to other parts OF the world and the
measures taken to prevent it. It has
already reached Europe and he shows
that 1t may be carried to other coun-
tries. Professor Vaughan asks: Are
we In America in danger of the
plague? His answer 1t. Yes, we are In
danger, but this danger, being foreseen,
may be easily avoided In his opinion
the most vulnerable point is along the
Pacific coast. With the plague at Hong
Kong, it may jump to Manila and then
be brought from there to San Fran
cisco. This country ought to be suffi-
GENTLY aroused to prevent its coming
by the strictest of quarantine regula-
tions.
The treasury officials of the govern
ment expect the receipts to exceed ex-
penditures at an early date. While of

RESPONSIBILITY FOR aTRAMPS.
1t appears that the trainmen or more
especially the brakemen of The railroads
are between two fires in dealing with
the tramp nuisance. as disclosed by the
talk of C. & N w. brakeman to the
Rockwell City Advocates representa-
tive, published in our columns Monday.
This brakeman made a strong protest
against the injustice of the situation.
The company gives strict orders to put
all tramps off, but gives trainmen no
authority TO carry weapons TO defend
themselves. He said that if he allows
charged, but if he takes extreme meas
ures to put them off he may be killed.
A fair illustration of this peril is af-
forded in the killing of two brakemen'
near Marshalltown who We're trying to
do their duty. The railroad companies
are censured a great deal for carrying
neither by their consent nor by that of
conductors or brakemen. In this re-
spect the companies and their employees
are trying to comply with the law. The
code of Iowa does rot permit the carry
ing of concealed weapons, the most for
nlidable measure of defense against this
class, and hence the railroad companies
do not authorize them to use them,
The fact is that the civil authorities
and the state, and not the railroads,
are the responsible parties. Until some
general law is framed that will require
counties or their civil authorities to CO.
operate with each other in enforcing
measures to do away with these law
less classes they will continue to exist
to the menace of all the people.

WHY TILE ADVANCED

There is an impression among eastern
meat eaters that a trust has raised the
price OF beef to consumers. Whether
trust or some other agency or the laws
of supply and demand have been the
cause of this has been the rational in
been looking into the matter carefully
and after q thorough investigation it
declares that the beef trust or combine
If there is such a thing--is not in the
slightest degree responsible for the adj
vance in the price of beef and other
meats. 1t shows there has been within
the past year a rise of about i cent a
pound in the prices of beef on the hoof
or of the live animal. This rise is due
to the partial falling off in the supply
of cattle, but more particularly in the
animal foods among the working men
of the country, as the result of higher
wages and more permanent employ
> ment or, in more general terms, of
prosperous times.
The Investigations of the Pioneer
Press led it to the conclusion that the
retail dealer and the farmer, and not
the packer. are the chief offenders in
the matter of advanced prices. 1t shows
that the packer mas not raised the
wholesale prices of the slaughtered
i'm LaF sc
ders in anything like the proportion of
the rise in the prices of the live stock
While the farmer gets an advance of s12
on the average animal over the prices of
year ago, the packer sells the slaugh-
tered beef at about 81 advance over the
prices of a year ago. But the retailer
has advanced his prices from s12 to SIS
So that 1t is the retailer-and the re-
taller In ST. Paul as we'll as in the east
not the wholesaler or packer who is
responsible for whatever there is to
beef. The wholesaler is not getting as
much profit out of his beef this year as
he was last. The retailer is getting g
good deal more. If he had only KEEP,
pace with the wholesaler he would have
added about cent or 11s cents poune
to his cuts on the average. He has il
fact added from 2 to cents or even
cents pound. 1t is the farmer and tn,
retail butcher who are getting all tn,
proht out OF the rise. The so-callec
beef trust, which it is the customar,
thing to hold up to abuse, has not com,
in even for its proportionate share

Birds That Fight Eagles.

In Foula one of the Shetland Islands,
the natives make business of rearing
skau gulls in order to rid the island Of
the eagles that congregate there and
commit many depredatiOns. The mag
nificent red sandstone cliffs that skirt
the northwestern coast became a IA
vorite haunt Of the eagles, and In this
inaccessible spot they Increased so
rapidly that they became terror to
the farmers and fishermen who dwell
on this isolated spot. The skau gulls
are also strong and fierce and the in
veterate foe OF the eagle. In battle
the gulls are nearly always victorious,
and so the inhabitants of Foula hit
upon the novel plan Of feeding and car
ing for the skau gulls, which. though
formidable to their feathered enemies,
are very peaceful and docile when
brought in contact with man.
