There is blood on the moon; at least, it
looks that way in the neighborhood of
village not forty miles from Chicago, says
the Chicago Times-Herald. Old Man Drew
the farmer CHI" Drew, they call him
up there, came into town last week on
the sly to buy a birthday gift for his
wife. He cast about vigorously and strug-
gled in a valiant way through the crowds
finally being washed ashore in the door
way of a hardware establishment Des-
pairing of fighting his way any further,
he made up his mind to make his pur-
chase right there. Martha wanted new
stove, any way. SO he allowed himself
to be taken in hand by an energetic sales
man, and had soon purchased for 81 an
article that was guaranteed to cook any
thing and everything, all at one time. He
had it expressed out to the village, and
by cunning strategy succeeded in getting
it set up in the kitchen on Tuesday morn
ing without Marthas knowledge. When
she saw it she Rugged him and beamed
all over with delight. Then he went out
and killed a young sucking pig and two
chickens and prepared for royal
spread.

Oliver Herford repeats with great de-
light a story James Whltcomb Riley tells
about twins, relates the Washington Post
These particular twins live near Mr.
Riley out In Indianapolis. Once not very
long ago one of them was naughty, and
to punish her the mother made her stay
indoors all day. To add a keener edge to
her disgrace. favors were showered on her
sister. Sister was dressed up in her very
best Sister was given a new parasol and
went prancing proudly up and down the
front walk In the greatest glee. Presently
one of the neighbors came by, and paused
at the gate to speak to the child.
You're one of the Brown twins, aren't
you?' asked the neighbor.
"Yes'm," answered the little girl.

people with a vague alarm. No informa-
ton has been furnished as to what the
inquiry was based on. There is therefore
a vast amount of conjecture. Some think
Russia is again threatening India and 9th
ers are OF the opinion that France is
planning 10 attack Great Britain. 1t is
certain that the French hate the British
with an intensity that hardly finds ex-
preston in the public prints, and from
present indications they viii not be con-
tent until they try each others strength
on the field of battle. II is asserted that
this hatred of the British is even making
the French people indifferent to che sue

OWNED BY THE TRUSTS.

The country is having a practical dem
onstration that the Republican party is
owned by the trusts These infant indus
tries which it has been nursing so long
have grown 50 powerful that they dom
mate it. At the opening of Congress in
December the President in his annual
message, said it was our plain duty to
grant to Porto Rico free trade with the
Union. There was not a single protest, as
far as the public knows, to this announc-
ed policy of the President. Apparently
the Republican leaders accepted it and
there was no opposition to it from the
Democrats. 1t was well known that the
Porto Ricans were poverty stricken, many
of them starving. Besides, the under
standing was that Porto Rico was a ter
rtory of the United States, and there
fore had right to free trade with the
United States. Some of the protected in
duslries, however, saw great danger to
the protective system if free trade with
our insular possessions We're accepted
They We're not so much alarmed by the
prospect of free trade with Porto Rico as
by what would likely follow, namely
free trade with cuba and the Philippines
They said to the Republican leaders of
Congress that the free trade policy for
Porto Rico which had been announced
by the President was not satisfactory to
Them and that the party must face
about and legislate for Porto Rico in ac-
cordance with the party's doctrine of pro
lection.
And the leaders obeyed. They recogniz-
ed that the trusts were their masters.
They dared not refuse to obey. Disobed-
fence meant dissatisfaction in The party
and refusal of campaign funds for the APP
preaching presidential contest.
Right here the Republican leaders were
met with a dilemma. 1t had also been
agreed that there should be free trade
with Hawaii. 1t is asserted that the great
sugar interests of the Hawaiian Islands
are largely owned by millionaire Ameri-
cans. who are Republicans. These mil
lionaires demanded free trade with Ha-
wall. So the doctrine was announced that
Congress has the right to make one tariff
for one lot of our islands and another
tariff for another lot or to tax the people
of some of our insular possessions and to
grant free trade to those of other such
possessions.
Is any further evidence needed that the
trusts own the Republican party? If it
We're not in their power would it permit
itself TO be forced into such a humiliating
position?
The President is reported to have said
recently, when, questioned in respect to
his change of position on the Porto Rican
tariff question. that it was better for the
Porto Ricans to be taxed than that thers
should be a want of harmony in the Re-
publican party In other words, he was
willing to assist in doing what he knew
was not right, on the demand of trusts,
for partisan political reasons. With such
a record what will be his chances for re-
election in the event of his denomination?

Importance of Dutch Cooks.

Yesterday I went marketing and bought
half a dozen hens eggs, says an isabella,
Negros, correspondent of the New York
Sun. "Eegloogs" the natives call them.
They cost two dukkos each Eight duk-
kos make an American nicl1le. / don't
know If I spell 'dukko" right. Well. az
supper time / took my "eegloogs" to the
detachment cook and asked him to fry
them
Well" he said, you vas a damned null
sance, but l fries him this time. Which
side NIT der eggs do you want fried
first?"
l laughed
Now, the Hull bill made "non-coms'' of
all the Dutch cooks. Men have been known
to talk back to corps commanders and es-
cape with their lives. But the man who
laughs alta non-commissioned Dutch cook
had better ask for transfer. Starvation
stares him in the face.

with sugar at six cents a pound It Is
claimed that the Sugar Trust is losing
big money. Accordingly the statistical
idiot has suggested that each tea and cof-
fee drnker, estimating the number at So 81
100000 in this country, use one lump more
in his morning and evening cup. or a
total of 1OOOOOOOO mere Jumps each day.
AT five cents a pound he has carefully cal
culated that this would give the trust
magnates $500 900 more each year. there
by enabling them TO pay the usual prince
ly dividends. Undoubtedly this is a good
suggestion from the standpoint of the
trust, but the statistical idiot has over
looked the fact that the majority of those
100000 do not have the option Of sweet
ening their own coffee. And there are
some who use long sweetening.

From letters in the newspapers it APP
pears that Senator McLaurin is not the
only Democrat in South Carolina who is
opposed to the effort of the leaders of the
Democratic party to make an issue out of
the expressed intention of the Republic
can party to hold the Philippines as a
permanent possession. 1t is undoubtedly
a fact that there are very many Demo-
Gratis in the South who are of the opin-
ion that it Is the duty, as well as for the
best interests, OF the United States to
retain permanent possession of the Philip
pines II has not been more than a month
since cotton manufacturers of several of
the Southern states adopted resolutions
in favor of retaining them. on the other
hand there are Republicans who are OPP
posed 10 the position taken by their party
in respect to them. If the future of the
islands should become an issue in the
presidential campaign it is probable that
there would not be a strict observance of
party lines.

Is beer one of the necessities of life?
The Cincinnati brewers have so announced
it in their advertising literature, but when
suit was instituted against them to pre-
vent them from forming a combination TO
raise the price of one of the necessaries of
life, they suddenly took the other tack
claimed that beer did not come IN that
category and that they were not, therefore
violating the Ohio law. 1t looks very muc1

Without in any way questioning the mo-
tives of Rev. Mr.. Sheldon, it begins to
be more apparent that his editorship for
a week Of the Topeka Capitol "As Christ

of Christian Daily. is. from one stand
point at least, a business proposition pure
and simple. The report from Topeka Is
that the subscription list has passed the
100000 mark and that the rush has only
commenced. With a record like that It
is no wonder that whisky advertisements
and accounts of prize fights will not be
needed TO insure financial success.

Is 1t at all probable that the municipal
elections soon to take place in Cuba have
any bearing on the future of Cuba? 1t
is certain that unless Cubans. express a
desire for annexation they will be given
their independence in accordance with the
resolution of Congress. But may not the
limiting of the suffrage in the municipal
elections to those who can read and write
or have 800 worth of property, be in
tended as a test as to whether the Ignorant
and moneyless masses VIII permit the ele-
ment selected TO exercise the right of suf-
frage to speak for the island? If they
will, the question of annexation may
be submitted to d vote. The members of
the educated and property holding class
are for annexation. They want a strong
and stable government. They think it is
doubtful if they would have that under
Cuban rule. In fact, they are almost GER
tain they would not. Secretary Root
may inquire into this matter of suffrage
during his stay in Cuba. There are of
course things going on in government cir
Giles of which the public knows nothing.

So far as South Georgia is concerned
it is now settled that Senator Bacon will
have no opposition for reelection. Hon.
f. G. duBignon announcement this morn
ing that he will not be a candidate sets
at rest all rumors on chat score. While
Mr.. duBignon would no doubt have made
a strong race, he has, as a matter of fact,
never seriously contemplated entering the
contest against Mr.. Bacon. This leaves
the field for the opposition, so far as pres

Russell has practically stated that he will

that his reelection will be practically
without a struggle.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Discussing Porto Rican affairs the Chi
cago Daily News Dem.) says: Congress
and the President have apparently made
mistake. The Porto Rican question is
one that rises higher than dollars or poli-
ties 1t is a question of what Secretary
Root calls Justice and good faith. and
what the President in his annual MESA ee
termed a plain duty Porto Rico has
asked for justice and the fulfillment of
pledges. 1t is answered by charity and a
10 per cent tariff bar. When Gen. Mil IS
invaded the island he issued a proclama-
ton to the people telling them he had
come to bring to them the blessings and
imunnities of our system of government
As consequence of that proclamation and
of that promise the Porto Ricans greeted
him with vivas and his progress became
a triumphal march, the people scattering
flowers in his way and bringing him their
choicest fruits and foods. Now they are
given charity and the 'immunities' of a
tariff wall Upon such a violation of ma
tional good faith and honor and plain
duty the people may yet have word to
say unless Congress takes heed of the
rising storm"
The Louisville Courier-Journal Dem)
says; THE annual reunion of Confederate
veterans next May will bring a notable
the magnificent armies which held the
overwhelming numbers and power of the
Northern states at bay for four years con-
stitute a body of men whose meeting
would be of great interest anywhere. AS
long as courage and military skill and
chvairy in war have power to stir the
heart 50 long will these Southern soldiers
attract the admiration and attention of
the world whenever they assemble togeth-
er. The battles they fought have been
over for thirty-five years now, and as the
survivors are fast yielding to age and
hardships it is not in the nature of
things that these annual reunions can last
very long This is all the better reason
why they should be appreciated and made
the most of when they are here"
The Philadelphia Record Dem.) has this
to say of the case of Senator Clark Of
Montana: There is no reason to doubt
that the Senate Committee on Elections
will recommend that Senator Clark OF
Montana be unseated for bribery. The
revelations of wholesale corruption before
the committee will permit no other conclu-
sion. II would be manifestly iniquitous,
then, IN the Senate to permit Clark to re-
tain his seat long enough to vote for Quay
in accordance with the arrangement of
the pair Senator Hoar himself has said
that such an act would be false count
and false return"
Discussing the status of Gen. Joe
Wheeler in Congress. the Birmingham
Age-Herald (Dem.) concludes THE
chances are that Gen. Wheeler will be
seated, but the chances are equally good
that MIR. Bailey will first exhibit his con-

The plague did not reach sufficient pro-
portions in Manila to cause much alarm
From Dec. q to Jan. p there were only
sixteen cases and eleven deaths Pretty
nearly all who were attacked were China
men. In the hands of first-class SANTA
rians there does not appear 10 be much
to fear from the plague. The reason II
finds so many victims in the cities of the
Far East is that these cities are devoid
of sanitary regulations, and no effort IS
made in some of them to Isolate cases
of the disease when it first makes its ap-
pearance, The prompt steps taken at
Honolulu and Manila to check its spread,
wheA 1t made its appearance in those
places, doubtless saved them from severe
epidemics. Experience is all the while
teaching that wise sanitary regulations
vigorously and intelligently enforced are
barrier to the spread of disease
1t is not at all surprising that Count
Castellane is not popular in Paris. He
seems to be lacking in common sense.

ton from members of the Four Hundred.
Since his return to Paris he has been
writing his impressions of people and
things in this country. He speaks of New
York society in way that will hardly
please it. He is quoted as saying in an
article in the Gaulois that it apes the
British nobility 1t may be that it does,
but that is no reason that the Count Cas-
tellene should say in print that it does,
especially since he has eaten dinners and
been entertained in the homes of its men,
