good as ours

The beef trust has since the election,
advanced the prices of all kinds Of an
imal food about 20 per cent, thus ad-
ding to its profit, says the Washington
Times, thirty-nine millions year. The
coal trust, continues the Times, "has
increased its popular tax on consumers
by twenty-seven millions. Sugar
Is fifty per cent, oil fifty per cent,
and most other things from thirty to
fifty per cent. higher than they were
two years ago. During the same per-
iod there has been an average advance
In wages amounting to four per cent,
according to statistics published by the
department Of labor. But since the
successful appeal of the trusts to the
country we can safely count upon a
rapid rise in the cost of all commodi'
ties and an equally rapid and import
ant drop in wages. In both ways the
standard of living among the working
classes will be lowered, and they will
be prepared for that station In life to
which the trusts have destined them
and to which they have elected them
selves by paralyzlng majority"

1t is somewhat startling to learn now,
on the authority Of the Army and Navy
Register, that there is absolutely moth
ing new about the use OF the soft-nosed
cap on shells: that in fact its ad-
vantages were thoroughly demonstrated
several years ago; and furthermore that
every naval shell fired during the naval
operations Of the Spanish war was fitted
with this device, the invention Of I. G.
Johnson, Of Spuyten Duyvil, N. Y. 1t
is apparent that the energetic sem
ator from South Carolina either had
simply uncovered a mares nest. or he
was working a very smooth confidence
trick to endeavor to delay the work Of
building the ships needed for the navy.

The navy department complains great
ly because men are not enlisted rapidly
enough to keep up the quota allowed by
congress. and 1t is freely asserted at-the
navy yard that the stoppage of the beer
privilege keeps many a good man out of
the navy. The lieutenant in the ward
room can have anything TO drink-bar-
ring distilled spirtuous liauor-that his
purse can afford. but the blue Jacket in
the forecastle can only sigh and wish for
the pleasures of the shore. For the pres
ent the situation seems hopeless but II Is
fervently to be hoped that the next secre-
tary of the navy may see fit 10 give back
to Jack this harmless privilege.-Brook-
lyn Times.
1t is not possible that these officers
wish to promote drunkenness and bad
conduct among the soldiers. They are
after efficiency, and efficiency and
sobriety go hand in hand in the army
as they do In business. But all the prac-
teal sense Of the officers goes for moth
ing before a theory In which these pro-
hibitionists believe with zeal which does
more credit 10 their consclences than to
their common sense. The management
OF soldiers Is emincntly practical mat

From this it will be seen that there
are few counties in the state which
have not had one or more citizens in
office during the past eleven years.
Some Of them have been represented
during the entire period. The larger
counties have naturally been the most
favored. King county has had the gov
ernorship eight years; Pierce county
will have had It four years. King
county has had a senatorship eight
years; when the terms of present in
cumbents shall have expired Pierce
county will have had a senatorship six
years. and Spokane county ten years.
King county has had a congressman
two years; Pierce county six years, and
Spokane county ten years. King county
has had the governor and senator at
one and the same time; Pierce county
congressman at one and the same time.
and Spokane county has had two sena-
tors and a congressman at one and the
same time. No fair-minded man can

"hoggishness'' on the part of King
county. Especially is II with poor
