MISREPRESENTATION" IA

From Mail and Express.
One of candidate Bryan's pet theories
in 1896 was that the country was suffer-
ing not from overproduction of cominodl-
ties. but from underconsumption. Speak
ing on this subject at st. Louis ON octo-
ber of the year mentioned he said:
MY friends. when our opponents tell
MS that the gold standard is good for
man who earns wages they forget
that a larger and larger number of men
each year are not earning larger wages
they forget that Il larger and larger
number Of men are finding that th"lr
services are unnecessary. not because "f
overproduction, but bccause Of under
consumption.
Conditions III that time Were such rs
to almost verify Bryan'S theory. Near
~ A. pcr cent Of the colintN's wage
carnerS were out Of employment hav-
ing been forced into idcncsS IN the
Wilson Golmun free trade law which
Bryan himself helpcd 10 piss through
Congress. Their earning power Was par
alyzed. ami their cousUmpiivc power war
temporarily suspended. Surh labor rs
had employment WAS pnpl'ly paid. price
were ruinottsly low and both pro,inr"!
and consumer were suffering from what
has been rightly described as il p,Iiut
of the greatest industrial depression
which the country has ever eNpcr
fenced.
But these abnormal conditions WET,
due to abnormal causes and when th'
latter were removed the former disap
peared. The 2.500000 workmrn VIII,
were idle when Bryan spoke are III
at work again. Their wages are high
er than ever befOre, and the purchaS
ing power Of wages is greater than IL
any former period in our history. Bryan
and Altgeld, however. insist that tn
country is still suffering from under
consumption.
Let MS see how far this is true. Il
1896 the domestic consumption of ray
cotton was 1910 pounds per capita bu
under Republican protection il rose I
1916 pounds in 1897, 1926 pounds i
1898. and to 27,14 pounds in 1898. Th
consumption of wheat and wheat tluu
has Increased from AIS bushels per cap
ia in 1896 to 5.95 bushels per capita i
1899. 1t appears, therefore, that the d'
nestle consumption of these staples ha
increased nearly ~ per cont in for

PHILIPPINE INS ANITY.
The United States Government Tnves-
 tigating Mysterious Disease.

The United States Government Tnves-
 tigating Mysterious Disease.
 Much attention has been called to the number of men in the army. serving in the Philippines who have gone in sane. The government has sent 9 special commission out there to tnyes-
 te the matter, and there has been
 a mysterious disease called the
 4danese Fever It is believed by sHs that this disease is peculiar to East Indian and African tropics; that it was this which caused pr. Peters to get into trouble for filling Africans and made the French ehieers in the in terior of Africa recently slay other of ffeers sent to their relief. Everybody has heard of the Malay who runs amuck and, frenzied. kills right and left until he himself is killed. The word "amuck" is a corruption of the Javanese word "amoak, to kill. There seems to be no doubt that the Malay occasionally goes crazy through an overindulgence in opium or hasheesG and. springing from his shack runs naked through the streets of the vil- lage, killing all whom lie may meet. When in a Malay village the cry "Amuck' is raised, it is like the cry of Mad dog!" in an American village, and the populaee turns out with long bamboo spears and kills the man as soon as they can. But the 'Soudanese fever,' if it exists, is another thing apparently. It may be that the disease which has afflicted white men in the Philippines and in equatorial Africa is only variation of apoplexy brought on by indulgence in heating and stimu- lating foods The London Lancet re- gently had something about the alleg- ed disease. People who had been af- dicted with it and had recovered said that they had a sudden sensation Of a desire to kill, and that they saw red. " 4 sudden afIlux Of blood to the head and the bursting of q blood vessel would produce insanity or coma. In northern elimes it more usually re- suits in coma; in the tropics it seems to result in insanity. All the soldiers of our army in the Philippines who have been sent back as insane have been violent

How Hassars Got the Name.

Hussars de net derive their name rom any sort of war cry or cheer. The name is from the Magyar word houtzar. meaning the twentieth. Illus saes, aa cavalry soldiers, were first confined to Hungary. In 1445 the crown passed a law compelling the peasants fo supply one man out of every twenty of their number, and that man a horseman, to the army of the state. The first hussars were recruited from the inhabitants of the immense Hungarian plains-strong, hardy fel lows. with sineWs supple as steel, who spent their life in the saddle. To the present time the Hungarian hussars are considered to be the finest body of light horsemen in Europe.

Grea FrenclE Disas ters.

Twenty-Five thousand French prison CTS were taken by the German troops at the battle of Sedan, tn the Franco German war, on the 3fst of August, 1870, while on the following day, as the result of the German victory, other 83,- 600 French soldiers surrendered, to- gether with 10 mftrailleuses. 400 field pieces and 150 fortress guns. About 14,000 French wounded were found ly~ ing on the battlefield and about 3,000 escaped into Belgium and laid down their arms. On the 27th of October, in the same year, Marshal Bazaine, after fighting and suffering several defeats ia the neighborhood of Metz, surren. dered with his army, including Mar shals Ganrobert aud Le Boeuf, 66 gen. erals, about 5000 officers. and 173, 900 men. including the Imperial Guard, 400 pieces of artillery, 100 mitrailleuses, and 53 eagles or standards.

wHAT,s IN A coRn STALK.
It Can Be Turned Into smOkeless
 Powder, Dynamite. Etc.

An immense cellulose plant IS near ing completion in Linden, Ind, and when it is in operation Indian corn pith, for ages considered worthless, will be put on the market as protec= tion for battleships of all nations, as 6nokeless powder, dynamite and other high explosives, as fine art paper, as varnish, kodak films, car-box packing, filler, waterproof cloth, Hnoleum, imi- tatton silk, patent leather finish, face powder, si1icate packing, and hum dred more as novel and varied forms of which the farmer, Whe has been throwing stalks away as waste, never dreamed The outer Iining-that part which ineloses the pith-will be made into four as an adulterant. as a cattle feed, chicken fattener and an egg producer. Part of 1t will be made up into candy, some of it into coloring dyes. and still other parts of it will become a part of far more novel pro- cesses. It will add thousands of dol- lars to the crop receipts of Indiana far mefs, will consume only that which  has been waste, and will furnish en- ployment for skilled workers. The an- nual average corn area of the United States is not far from S0.000.000 acres. Each acre yields on an average about 4,000 pounds of corn stalks, or total of f60. 100000 tons Of this weight 85 per cent, or 436. .000 GOO tons, has value as feed, but not over ten per cent of it is actually fed. The other fifteen per cent of the total weight. or 24,000. 600 tons, is the plth of the stalk, which las been 8 total waste. or even worse. This Indiana concern has a process which makes it possible for them to pay s a ton for the stalks, and pro duce q raw material which is worth seventeen cents a pound. or S340 3 ton. It is figured that if every ton Of stalks in tue United States could be so handled. it would increase the value Of each crop $48o, COG, GOO.

For exam pie, this order: "FoY the protection Of government interests and as safe guard against the machinations, de- vices and schemes of spectators and adventures, it is hereby ordered that all persons who claim ownership of land in this island or it's dependencies are prohibited from selling or trans ferring any portion of such property without first obtaining the consent Of the governor.

The constant rattle of dishes on the hard tables and the believing of the walters as they announced their orders to the cooks at the end of the room made him nervous.

FAMOUS CONVICT SHIP
hThe Chamber of Horrors, Which Was
 Built a Hundred Years Ago.


 Built B Hundred Years Ago.
 One of the curiosities in England at present is the old convict ship Success, which has recently been converted into a museum, or into what foreign jour nalist style "a chamber of horrors" She was built no years ago, and her first years were spent in cruising be- tween the East Indies and England In 1929 the British admiralty bought and stationed her in the waters of western Australia. Capt Stirling was then in command, and from his Scottish birth place the town of Perth in Australia takes its name. From 1847 to 1851 the Success piled between London and East Adelaide. On her last trip she had on board several hundred immi- grants who intended to seek tueir for tunes in the newly discovered gold fields. During the voyage the captain, the other officers, and the entire crew became seized with the same gold fever and the result was that when land was reached they, too, left the ship and went off to seek their fortunes. The Success was next used to transport criminals of the deepest dye to Van Diemen's s Land, as Tasmania was then called, and she also served as floating prison for especially dangerous erim- inals. The vessel then became popu- Iarly know mas The Hell of the Ocean," title which was evidently well deserved. Old records show that some awful scenes took place on her. The prisoners cells were in two tiers under the deck, and were so small that inmates could hardly move in them. Moreover, they were so fashioned that they could be made light or dark, and the most insubordinate prisoners were always placed in the latter. These curious cells, many of the old instru- menta of torture and a number of wax figures representing famous criminals are now being exhibited on the Sue cess, and are attracting a crowd of sightseers. The old ship is at present in Leith Harlsor, in Seotland.-New York Herald
