HARD RESTRICTIONS.
Placed on Exhibits Of American
Products at Raris Exposition.
Incomplete Display of 1.-Two oettle
and Dressed Beef Because of An
moving and Unreaaonable Con-
ditions Laid Down.

The exhibits of the United States
at the Paris exposition are less COM
plete and interesting, as well as less
valuable In respect to the extension
of the demand for American prod
ucts in France, than would have been
the case If so many obstacles had not
been placed in the way by the French
authorities. This refers especially to
the proposed exhibits of American
live cattle and also of dressed meats.
1t is learned from good authority
that after every preparation had been
made for large and important e1-
hibit of live cattle the application to
install 1t was either refused outright,
or the approval of It was saddled
with SO many conditions and restric-
tions that the exhibit had to be aban-
doned. This was severe disappoint-
ment to the American cattle industry,
as we'll as to the official representa-
tives of the United States in Paris,
who strove earnestly but in vain to
overcome the obstacles thrown in
their way by the French authorities.
and so that feature of the proposed
exhibit of the United States had to
be abandoned.
Such may also be the fate of the
proposed exhibit Of American dressed
meat and meat products. The United
States government officials also made
elaborate and expensive preparations
for an imposing exhibit of American
fruits and dairy and meat products.
An elaborate and COSTLY refrigerat-
ing plant, with all necessary APP
paratus and appliances, was installed,
and it was not foreseen that any OBJ
stacles would be placed in the way
of comeplete and noteworthy ex-
hfbit, until the French authorities be
gan to interpose objections and sug-
gest and impose hard conditions,
which 1t may be found impracticable
fully to meet. One OF the conditions,
for example, was that fresh dressed
beef, etc, should be exhibited only in
| the form of whole carcasses, contain
ing the heart, liver and other inter-
nal organs of each animal. 1nasmuch
| as the exhibits were not to be sold
or consumed in France without the
consent of the authorities, and as no
such condition had been foreseen and
expected, it at first seemed to be one
which could not possibly be complied
with, but it is understood that ef-
forts are being made by the United
States officials to do 80, and with some
prospect of success.

Official Rascalitv.

Some of Mark Hanna'S thieves, sent
to Cuba to occupy official positions,
have been caught in the act of pur-
Joining public funds. Ifthey are pun
ished it will be enforced by public
sentiment. They have stolen about a
million dollars while the public treas
ury at Washington and the people at
large have been robbed of more than
two billion dollars by class legislation,
unconstitutional grants and pecula-
tions authorized by congress. Toavoid
exposure of treasury frauds the house
of representatives has refused to
adopt resolution offered by congress-
man Sulzer of New York, calling for
a special committee of nine to investi-
gate the transactions of Secretary
Cages department with the National
City bank and the Hanover National
Bank of New York, and other nation
al banks, from the 4th of March, 1887,
down to the appointment of said COM
mittee. In the alleged frauds the no.
torious Standard, Oil trust has been a
great gamer, to the advantage of
Mark Hanna and the administration,
as is believed, and for which Mark
declares the allegations "all rot. "
Were there no reason for the charges,
every Republican senator and con-
gresham would have fastened to the
the support of the resolution and the
appointment of fair and disinter-
eSted committee. Secretary Gage
would have demanded the committee
if the charges are unfounded. Pres
sing the question, Mr. Sulzer said:
''The charge is made and not denied
that the Secretary of the Treasury has
violated the law knowingly and in
tentionally to carry out apparently an
infamous political bargain" that he
"has tically turned the treasury
funds of the government over to the
Standard Oil trust and it's bank, the
most gigantic and cold-blooded mo-
nopoly the world has ever seen, and
has permitted it and its agents to rob
and swindle the people," No honest
man would rest under such a charge
until he was vindicated by the invcsti-
CATION called for, and yet there are
men who go right along voting for
scoundrels because they call them
selves Republicans. How could they
more successfully promote the over
throw of free government by the i'm
perialists now in charge of affairs at

standard bearer of democracy.
Money.
We are opposed to the single gold
standard and denounce the action OF

and the placing of this power in the
hands OF banking corporations

We deplore the adoption of the
recent Porto Rican measure which
the people and the press of all parties

the Porto Rican tariff.
Imperialism.
We condemn theimperialistic policy
of this administration as fraught with
danger to the best interests of oul
country and destructive of the princi

Many returning tourists say that
they found the Paris exposition very
much behind. They were unable to
pay any visit to the exposition at
night, since the buildings were not
lighted; everything was in confusion.
Those who are fond OF disorder had
an abundant opportunity to crafty
that taste. Others found that the
conditions almost distracted them. 1t
seemed to some as though the expo.
sition would not be worth visiting I'M
TIL the middle Of June, and that was
one reason why they decided to re-
turn.

Mckinley carried New York in 1896
by 26S, 1859. In 1898 Roosevelt with all
his rough-rider Accomplishments fresh
upon him, carried it by only 1876.
Evidently the republicans are alarmed
about New York, and evidently, it is
believed, that putting Roosevelt on
the national ticket will help him.
Whatever the cause, everybody sees
that the nomination of Roosevelt was
planned by Hanna and his pretended
opposition was entirely for theat rical
effect.-Indianapolis Sentinel.

The republican party of to-day is
made up of promoters, exploiters,
pluderers and their dupes. tits an
institution for revenue only. 1t is en-
tirely fitting that the republicans
should nominate for the head of their
ticket a man without conviction, ideas
or spinal column, and equally fitting
that they should choose for his run
ming mate man whose greatest claim
to popularity and fame lies in his de-
yotion to brutality and Slaughter
man who would write his own BIZ
ography and shamelessly boast of the
number of people he had killed.

Tenant Farming Increasing.

A recent circular from the census
department says:
ssAnother problem of great impor-
lance is the increase of tenancy, as
opposed to the ownership of real prop
erty. From 1880 to 1890 the number
of farm tenants in the United States
increased at least 80 per cent. This
increase was general, but greater in
the South Atlantic and South Central
divisions of the United States than in
other parts of the country. In general,
the thirteen original states, rich in
wealth, trade and manufacturers, are
those in which the percentage of own
ership of farms and homes is lowest.
and in keeping with this fact, statis-
tics of valuation show almost uniyer-
sally that tenancy is most common
where land is most valuable.n
The chances are that the number OF
tenant farmers will show a greater
increase the past decade than it did
ten years ago. During the past ten
years there has been great concen-
tration7 OF wealth. In France the
number of owners of farms in proper.
tion to population is nearly double
what it is in this country. In England
the ariStocracy owns the lands anG
the people are tenant farmers. Thi.
country now occupies middle ground
between the land-ownlng farmers o.
France and the tenant-farmers O.
England, but we are drifting very
rapidly toward the methods which
prevail in the latter country. We arr
getting away from republican ideas
and adopting those of the monarchy
aud in no period of our history has
the transformation been greater thar
during the past four years. Shall il

chosen Prof. e. G. Cooley superintend-
ent of schools for Chicago. The unan-
unity Of the board in making the Sc

tional opportunity for rendering good
service and for making a name for
himself. Those having the welfare of
the school system at heart wish him

In speaking of the republican con-
yention the Chicago Record says:
"The Administered ton forces at the
Philadelphia convention, having dis
covered, apparently to their surprise,
that President Mckinley was not suf-
ticiently popular with the voters, ac-
cording to the belief of shrewd poll
ticiahs of his party, to render safe or
desirable his nomination with color
less running mate of his own choosing,
surrendered as gracefully as they could
on Wednesday and sent for Gov. Roos-
eyelt. That able exponent of the
strenuous life seems to have been
waiting-it may be little inpatient
ly-to be sent for. When he received
the message he generously withdrew
his numerous refusals of the nomina-
tion for vice-president, and as conse-
uuence was nominated yesterday for
that office by the vote of all the dele.

THE Richest Woman in America" in
Ladies' Home Journal. 1.-THE result is
that they don't know as much as they
ought to about any one thing, and
they naturally fail. The trouble with
young men who work on salaries is
that they're always afraid Of doing
more than they're paid for. They
don't enter into their work with the
right spirit. To get on and be appre-
ciated a young man must do more than
he's paid odo. When'he does something
that his employer has not thought of,
he shows that he is valuable. Men
are always willing to pay good salaries
to people who will think of things for
them. The man who only carries out
the thoughts and ideas Of another Is
nothing more than a mere tool. Men
who can be relied upon are always in
demand. The scarcest thing in the
