that is, 1t does not require any amount

degree of skill which can be acquired

Turkish Police Justice.

A trif1ing dispute between a Kurd
and an Armenian on Il street in Con-
stantinOple the other day led to an
amusing instance of justice as it is dis
pensed by the Turkish police.
A tobacco box was found on the pave
ment, as alleged. by Kurd. An Ar
menian claimed the box as his own.
Neither would give in, and the dispute
waXed warm. From words they Were
near coming to blows when police
man came up. but he could not decide
the question of ownership.
At last the Armenian suggested that
the policeman ask what was in the box.
Tobacco and cigarette paper,"e said
the Kurd promptly.
The box contains nothing but 10
piaSters.' said the Armenian, smiling.
The officer opened the box and find

dispute by giving him the box. sic 8

Hobart, in 1896, and that the legisla
ture will be republican and Senator
Elkins reelected. Mr.. Smith is
speaking in Ohio this week.
Mr.. Thomas Lowry, Minnesota
member of the advisory committee
of the republican national commit
tee, has gone carefully over the polit-
zeal situation in his section and SAYS
that outside of Illinois, which the
tremendous foreign population of
Chicago makes doubtful political
battle-ground, the republicans have
no cause for anxiety about the North
west, as Minnesota will go republican
and send solid republican delegation
to congress, and Michigan, Wisconsin,
Iowa, and Indiana will all certainly
go republican. Mr.. Lowry says his
information from west of the Missis-
sippi is most encouraging. That Cali
fornia, Oregon and Washington are
certain to go heavily republican on
the expansion policy of the admins
tration, which is bringing them so
much direct benefit, that Montana is
doubtful, with excellent chances for
republican success on account of the
Clark-Daly nght; that Colorado, not
withstanding its big Bryan majority
in 1896, is debatable with an even
chance for republican success; that
Utah and the Dakotas and Wyoming
are reasonably sure to go republican,
with probability of bel ng followed
by Idaho. Mr. Lowry is not as conf
dent about Nebraska and Kansas
going republican as some other re-
publicans are, but is afraid that local
pride will keep them in the Bry an

Tint Low Animal. Man.

Instead of the highest, man is In
some respects the lowest of the animal
kingdom. Man is the most unchaste,
the most drunken, the most egotistic.
the most misery, the most hypocritical
and the most atrociouS of living crea-
lures. No animal, except man, kills
for the mere sake of killing. For one
being to take the life of another for
purposes of selfish utility is bad
enough, conscience knows, but the In
discriminate massacre of defenseless
victims by armed and organized packs.
just for pastime, is beyond character
ization. The human species is the only
species of animals that plunges to such
depths of atrocity. Even yipers and
hyenas do not kill for recreation.
No animal, except man, habitually
seeks wealth purely out Of an insane
impulse to accumulate, and no animal.
except man, gloats over accumulation
that are of no possible use to him, that
are an injury and an abomfnation and
in whose acquisition he has committed
irreparable crimes upon others. There
are no millionaires-no professional, 1e-
galized, lifelong kleptomaniacs-a
the birds and Quadrupeds. No animal
except man spends so large part Of
his energies striving for superiority
not superiority in usefulness, but that
superiority which consists in simply
getting on the heads of ones fellows to
crow-and no animal practices COM

The Production of cavtare.

Two distinct varieties of caviare are
manufactured in Russia-the granulat-
ed and the pressed forms. The granu-
lated form is obtained by passing the
fish roes under pressure through fine
tact, but the envelopes are retained in
the sieve. To these pure salt is added
in the proportion of one-twentieth or
one-fortieth 1t is intimately mixed
with the eggs by means of a kind of
wooden spoon. The caviare is then
ready for consumption. 1t is packed
in round metallic boxes of one and
half to five pounds and enveloped in
parchment for transportation. The
pressed caviare keeps better than the
granulated form.
To obtain 1t the fresh caviare is treat
ed with a solution of salt at % degrees
Baume until the eggs acquire a GER
tain degree of hardness. This opera
ton requires considerable skill and ex-
perience. If allowed to stay in the So
luton too long, the caviare will be too
salty, and if not long enough the eggs
cannot be preserved. The caviare is
then put into small sacks, which are
pressed under a screw press to drive
out the excess of salt. 1t is packed in
barrels containing up to 1000 pounds
or left in the original sacks, which
measure s by 20 inches. The average
export of pressed caviare for the three
years 1896 to 1898 has been more than
1900 tons. representing a value Of ST.

USELESS PHILIPPINE WAR.
AcIcinley's Persi.tent Policy Of
Subjagation by Military
Conquest.

Dispatches from the Philippines are
authentic. They are from our own
officers there, and they make known a
terrible condition of affairs. Over and
over it has been asserted by the adj
ministration that the war there is
ended. Now our officers are calling
for more men, saying the present
forces are inadequate to meet the in
surgents and compel submission. One
body of 30 United States soldiers
was compelled on Monday to fight for
their lives with. 1000 entrenched and
armed Filipinos, with a loss of about
one-third of their number. Gen. Mac
Arthur pays a glowing tribute to their
heroic defense, 1.-The splendid response

Either Bryan or Mckinley will be

Either the republic or the empire will

If Bryan wins, it will mean the end

If Mckinley wins it will mean that
that war will go on; that American
ideals will be repudiated; that nation

ly looked into conditions in the east
and the prospects for American ant
western civilization and has come te
the conclusion that America is max
ing a great mistake to enter the Phil

Ladd said:
"The attitude of the United States
in retaining the Philippines is en-
tirely unjustifiable. 1t was wrong
from the very beginning. from the
moment when the commissioners o,
our government forced Spain to sci
us the islanas. 1t is impolitic, i'm

till they either have se.f-government
