SUBJECT TO OBJECTION.

re The Department of Agriculture has
sent out a number of recipes for abat
ing the mosquito nuisance, and one of
them is: Hang up a fine, uncooked
beefsteak beside the bed upon retir-
ing" the theory evidently being that
the pests would much rather chew at
fine beefsteak than the tough ear or
nose of human being..n Perhaps the
theory is all right, but good many
people will find difficulty in applying it
practically. Fine, uncooked beef
steaks" cost money, and many people
would rather eat them, If at hand, and
take subsequent chances with the mos
quitos Then there is an absence of de-
tail about the recipe which is exasper
ating. For instance, the Department
neglects to tell how long the ''fine"
beefsteak should be allowed to hang
beside the bed. Few families, even in
these times of alleged prosperity, can
afford to hang up fine beefsteaks for
mosquitoes to feed upon, and to adjust
one every morning, in series of sleep
ing rooms, would prove serious drain
upon many purses, while to leave the
same beefsteak, even though it was
originally a fine" one, hanging in a
bedroom for several days or a week,
with the thermometer lowering about
ninety, would scarcely be beneficial,
even though recommended by a gov
eminent Department. The Department
OF Agriculture should be more expi-
cit.

Philippines? Our assertion of authority
in those islands Is in contempt of the
principles jefferson laid down in the Dec
laration of Independence, which were the
ruling principles OF the American people
until Mckinley set TO work to destroy
them. This argument is the principal one
of Mr.. Bryan's speeches. 1t involves the
future Of the country and the maintenance
of true American principles of govern
ment We cannot have both subjects and
citizens under our form of government.
This week Mr. Bryan will make several
speeches in West Virginia, and his efforts
will stimulate the patriotic people OF the
Mountain State TO their best efforts to
carry the State in November. The pros

be able to do so. The Democracy is

Bryan Not so Easily Trapped.

Springfield. Mass, Republican
The correspondent of a leading New
York paper bounded in upon Mr. Bryan in
Lincoln the other evening and pumped
ten questions at him, most of which were
direct inquiries as to what he would do
concerning the finances of the government
in case he were chosen President To
each question Mr.. Bryan suavey replied
Il will discuss public questions in my own
way and in my own time" And that was
all the satisfaction the visitor extracted
from Mr.. Bryan. The purpose of such
tactics is apparent. BY entrapping Mr..
Bryan into a detailed discussion of finan-
cial questions the hope was to push the
silver issue to the front again. The Incl
dent shows how desperate the Republicans
are in their efforts to ignore the issue of
Imperialism and keep the attention of the
country upon an old issue In which the
people have lost their interest.

DAWSON FIRED
Out of Union rs Active Member of
Typographical Union.

Charleston Gazette.
Secretary of State Dawson has le1rrcd
TO his sorrow that it is not as easy to
break into the Typographical Union as 1t
is to falsify a roll of legislators. At the
last meeting of the local union, on Satur-
day night, formal protest was made
against the manner in which his applica-
ton to become member was railroaded
through A spirited discussion ensued.
The anti-Dawson men were in the major
ity and they insisted that Mr.. Dawson
be transferred from the list of active
members to the list on honorary mem
bers. The Dawson men begged that he be
allowed to resign and present his applica-
ton to become an honorary member. but
this the anti-Dawson men refused to en-
terrain and he was forced from the roll
of active members. A member of the
union stated that the only reason why he
was not fired out of the union altogether
was because, as he had been admitted i'll
some way or other, it would have been
necessary to prefer charges, and that the
union did not care to do.
AT the same meeting L. A. Fraser, who
has been appointed to a clerkship in Mr..
Dawsons office. resigned the offices which
he held in the local union.

man at day wages, and the other half
have not even employment. There is

CHINA HAS WON HER POINT.

Whatever the nations may do, it is
her point in making ii so unpleasant
for foreigners that they will have to
leave the Empire. Already all foreign
ers not murdered have sought refuge
in the seaport cities, under the guns of
men of war, and Peking, Tien Tsin and
Taku and the surrounding territory are
only held by forty thousand armed
men, with about one hundred and sew
enty-five guns. If the concert of the
powers be broken. and it looks that
way, there must be a withdrawal from
the Pei-ho valley to the coast, and al
though certain seaports will continue TO
be held the interior of China will be
swept clear of Americans, Europeans
and Japanese. which is what China has
been working for. No Christian mis-
sionary Will be left in the length and
breadth of the Empire, the churches,
stations and other mission buildings
will be destroyed utterly. and the efforts
of half a century will have been COM
pletely wiped out with the merciless
massacre Of all native converts. China
will thus return to her original condi-
ton of paganism, with Confucianism.
Taoism and the worship of Buddah as
her only religions, and there will be
great rejoicing at the victory won over
the powers. If civilization is to pene-
trate China either with religion of trade
Peking must be held and guarantees de-

The way the sugar trust is making
the people shell out, these days, is
enough to cause consumers of its pro-
duct to look concerned. King Have
meyer has cornered all the raw sugar in
sight, has the situation we'll in hand
and is showing up the price by leaps and
bounds. On May 22d the price of sugar
was $500 per 100 pounds; the next day
it was $3.50, on the Goth of the same
month s5.40 on the last day of the same
month $3.50, June LIST $780, June Goth
$3.50, July 3d. $500, July 9th, $500, and
on the Both day of August $6.15. Where
it is going to stop no man but Have
meyer and his pals knows. 1t may go
to $500 per hundred before snow flies,
for the people can do nothing to pre-
vent the squeeze except to stop using
sugar altogether, and, of course, that is
not possible.
Nine advances in price in three
months is bad outlook for the future
all the people can do is to look pleasant
and pay. The last raise means a net
profit for the trust Of fifty million dol
lars year, and every cent or it is a di-
rect trust steal from the people Sugar
selling at retail at ten cents per pound
is not an impossibility. Indeed, it is a
probability. 1t is fair exemplification
of the "benefcial' results of great COM
bines. The benefits are centered in
the trusts themselves every time, a fact

DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET
HORRORS OF FOREIGN OCCUPANCY


Yesterday morning the Associated
Press delivered to the papers of this
city, at an hour too late for publica-
tion, telegram from a correspondent
at 1aku, China which affords a glimpse
at least of the horrors resulting from
the presence of foreign troops on Chin

treachery. 1t is a gruesome tale, and
one well calculated to make the reader
think that the thin veneer of civiliza-
ton" with which the people of enlight-
ened nations are supposed to be clothed,
wears off very quickly once the soldiers
of these countries get a chance at an en-
envy. The telegram in question says:
