EMERGENCY RATIONS TEST.
A Condensed MIX Wafer Being
Tried by Captain Foster.

Tried by Captain Foster.
Captain Fred W. Foster and % troop
ers of the Eighth United States caval-
ry recently left Fort Reno, o. r., for a
ten days march through the .Caddo
Indian country to make a second test
of the emergency rations, says a Wichi-
ia (Kan.) dispatch to the New York
Post. The test will be a novel one, as
the three cakes of sweet chocolate
which constituted part Of the rations
tested on the march to Fort Sill will be
omitted. and a preparation composed
Of condensed milk viii be substituted.
They will also make a more severe test
of a meat compound, food prepara-
tion prepared under the direction and
supervision of the war department.
Captain Foster is of the opinion that
the condensed milk food will prove to
be great success and give better sat-
isfaction than the chocolate, which was
of little service during the test just
completed. The milk food is made up
in the form of waters. and when dis
solved with water it forms a kind of
soup. Soldiers who have tried the
preparation say it is palatable and af-
fords considerable nourishment. A de-
tailed report OF both tests viii be sent
to the war department soon by Captain
Foster.

LEAGUE TO PROTECT BIRDS.


Audubon Societies Take steps to-
Begin Organized Crusade.
There are 10000 persons in Boston
who refuse to wear feathers In their
hats. But they are not all women, for
there are many male members of the
Audubon societies which held their
first congress at Cambridge the other
afternoon.
They constitute an organized protest
against the use of birds in millinery,
says the New York Telegram. Hither-
to their work has been on the lines OF
lessening the demand for the plumes-
1t was realized that the plume hunters
were prompted to what the Audubon
ties call a fell deed by a very natural
motive of profit.
About all that has been required OF
the members was to sign a pledge not
to wear feather millinery. Each socie-
.ty was an independent body, with a
membership of more than $1,000. The
other days congress, attended by dele
gates from as far away as Illinois and
the District of Columbia. took steps to,
form some sort Of a league.
1t is proposed to institute a bird
study scheme suggested by Frank Nj.
Chapman to include an annual summer
gathering modelled on the Chautauqua
idea. Both the schemes were so well
received that it is believed they will be-
come a part of the Audubon society
programme. A committee to formulate
a plan for carrying the ideas into effect
is to be chosen by President Charles
Sedgwick Minot.

with a strong probability of Nebraska
unless State pride is extremely strong
joining them. 1t is hoped to make up this
loss by carrying Illinois. Indiana and
Ohio. Any one who knows Illinois poll
ties realizes that it is naturally n Repub-
litan State, md has gone Democratic
only once in forty years, and that when
the business elements We're favorable to
the Democratic candidates.
The same is to be said of Ohio, with
the added statement that it has never
given its electoral vote to Il Democratic
candidate for the Presidency since the
war. Indiana is the only close State, and
those who know it best believe that the
Democrats will not win there. In both
Illinois and lndiana, exceptionally strong
men have been named as Democratic can
didates for Governor. and to an extent
they will aid Mr.. Bryan. but not enough
to overcome the sentiment held every
where against him by conservative and
thoughtful people. All this apparent
prospect of success over Mr.. Bryan ought
not to cause IL lessening of the struggle
against him. 1t will not do in this contest
to simply prevent his having 81 majority
in the Electoral College by giving Presi-
dent Mckinley barely enough to win.
DECISIVE DEFEAT FOR BRYAN.
What ought to be accomplished is the
decisive defeat of Organism as n disturb
ing factor in the politics of this country.
The country cannot afford with each re-
curing four years to be upset from one
end to the other by the danger of a man
of such vagaries us he e%ntertains obtain
ing control of the nations affairs. The
plea that is put forth by some men Of
ability that he can be rendered harmless
before election by the enactment of new
laws is hardly craftsmanship. Why place
a man in the Presidency whom you must
virtually put under bonds to keep the
pence?
Mr.. Bryan has SO grievously wronged
the Democratic party that no Democrat
who really wishes to see the party get
back into public confidence ought to aid
and abet him ut this time. He would de-
strOy the country's currency system il he
could by substituting the silver standard.
Why give him Endorsement in that deter
mination? He would abrogatc the right
of private contract, Overturn the tradi-
tions. practices, and high position of the
Supreme Court, and make impossible the
quick and effective maintenance of public
order in times of excitement and stress.
Why make it possible for him to even
undertake so much that is revolutionary,
even though he fail in it all?
No Time for Experiments.
1 hardly think the thoughtful Judgment
of any citizen will say That the possible
ty that Mr.. Bryan may do better in the
Philippines than President Mckinley is
doing justi6es an experiment franglst
with SO much danger to the stability Of
things at home. The question may be
very properly raised whether n man who
is wrong on every important problem
which affects the citizens of the United
States ct home can adjust and administer

1t will be seen by an examination of
the tables that in every article of farm
production named there has been an in
crease in price ranging with a single ex-
ception) from 35 per cent to 6S per cent,
or a III average increase in the entire Sc
ries of articles of 45.S per cent.
In. the list of the articles of farm con-
sumption there is u reduction i'll price
in two OF the articles named. while the
increase in the other articles ranges much
lower than that Of the farm products,
the average increase for the entire series
of articles Of farm consumption being
10 per cent.
Thus we see that in ten representative
articles Of farm consumption, the aver
g increase has been 10 per cent, while
in the ten equally representative articles
Of farm production, the increase has been
45.S per cent.

tell you that the gold standard
lowers the price of products of
him who sells without lower

ask how the gold standard af-
fects the laboring men, we re-
ply that 1t destroys the oppor-
tunity for labor. multiplies the
number of idle men, and nils
our streets with those anxious
for work, who cannot find the
opportunity. The gold STAN

The Democratic fault-tinders base their
efforts to create discomfort among the
farmers in 1900 upon a different plane
from that of 1896. Then their complaint
was that the prices of farm products
were too low Now they complain that
the farmers are too prosperous and the
prices of their products are too high.
Mr.. Bryan was nominated in Chicago
on July 10. 1896, and again at Kansas
City on July 5, 1900. Let lis take the
quotations of the first week in July.
1896, and July, 1900, the respective dates
ase brought as nearly as practicable to
the dates of his respective nominations.
Nobody will question the fairness of
selecting wheat, corn, oats, lard, pork,

and which has been widely discussed in
the study of national economic questions
Of late years. Why not measure by this!
A glance ut the table which shows the
relative prices of articles in 1896 and
1900 will answer this question. 1t hap
rcns that the percentage of increase in
the price of wheat is less than that Of
any other article of farm production,
since wheat is more directly affected by
the production in other parts of the world
where crops have been generally good
during the last two seasons.
Wheat has only advanced 30 per cent
from 1896 to 1900. while corn advanced
4S per cent, mess pork 60 per cent, lard
it is easy to see why the Democrats
happened" to select this particular item
wheat by which to measure everything
else. simply because it. shows a smaller
increase in price than almost any other
article in the list.
Yet they are gravely marching through
the agricultural regions of this country
stating to the farmer that "a bushcl of
wheat in 1900 will buy less of the articles
which you consume than Il huslel of
wheat would buy of those sam articles
in 1886" Let us accept the challenge.
Mr.. Bryan's first nomination occurred
on July 10. 1896. md his second nomina-
tion on July 5. 1900. The records of the

not adopt corn as u standard Of measure

Again, there is the item of provisions,

the New York market, 64Ac per bushel,
and on July s, 1900. was SSc per bushel.
Now let us follow the same general
plan adopted in the other comparisons
and by selecting ten principal articles of
farm consumption. obtain their relative
prices in the New York market in 1896
and 1900, at the dates nearest Mr.. Bry-
ans nomination, md thus find out what
quantity Of each bushel of wheat, at the
prices named at these two dates, would
have bought. The articles Of farm con-
sumption selected for this comparison are
equally representative with those of farm
production above named. namely, sugar,
coffee. petroleum, rice, salt, leather, cot
ton cloths, starch, mackerel and cut nails.
The authority for the prices is the same
as that already utilized-the bureau Of
statistics.
In every case the quantity of these
representative articles of farm con-
sumption which a bushel of wheat
would buy in 1000 is greater than a
bushel of wheat could have bought
in 1896.
