1T COMES HIGH.

The New York World thus sums up
the meat trust:
TO appreciate the refinement and
delicacy of sentiment of the meat
barons of Chicago we have only to
contrast their action with the coarse
and grasping disposition shown by
the coal barons in putting up the
price of coal without regard to the
political fortunes of their friends and
benefactors. This may not be an ad-
equate consolation to the American
people, who will hereafter pay a cent
or more extra per pound on their
meat or else go without it, but under
the circumstances it seems to be
about all the consolation they can
get "
But meat helps to fill the dinner
pail and the voters have decided it
shall be filled for evermore. 1t comes
high, but we must have it.

STRANGE to say the only place
Eugene Debs made any showing as a
presidential candidate was in Mas
sachusetts community. Haverhill
gave Debs 1881 votes. Mckinley
carried the city and Bryan came third,
with $40 votes No other community
in the country ran Bryan as third
choice in the presidential race. The
vote of Haverhill is somewhat signifi-
cant from the fact that the place has
had some experience in practical So
cialism. The mayor and council Of
the city are socialists and apply their
doctrines to civic management as far
as possible. The rest of Massachu-
sets is watching the Haverhill exper-
iments with interest. 1t would, in
deed, be odd, as the Quincy Herald
remarks, il the old Bay state, with its
scholastic environment. should be-
come the hotbed of socialism.

THE Blue Is THE BEST UNDER ALL
CONDITIONS.

Interesting tests are being made at
the cavalry post at Fort Meyer to de-
termine the relative protection of
khaki color and the blue shirts for
merly worn by soldiers. Complaints
have been made TO the war depart
ment that the khaki uniform. on ac-
count of it's color, offers better tar
get TO. the enemy than the old blue
uniform of the army.
The tests include observations of
garments IF different colors at vari-
Gus distances TO determine the rela-
tive cOnspicuousness under different
conditions Of time and weather.
1t was only the aping of the English
style of uniform that led TO the aban-
donment of the glorious blue for the
first time in American history under
the present administration, and the
strenuous Teddy was the first to in
augurate the dress reform" in army

THE VOTER is PECULIAR.

Rockford Star.
The American voter is apt to make
startling changes. In 1890 he wiped
the republican party out of power and
at the same time defeated William
Mckinley for congress. Six years
later the voter resurrected Mckinley
and made him president, to which Of
fee the voter reelected him little more
than week ago. When William Nc
Kinley was denied a return to con-
gress 10 years ago not person in the
land imagined he would ever be given
the most exalted of earthly offices.
There is moral in this to defeated
candidates: Keep pegging away.

Is the Work the British Doctors are
Doing at 100 Third Ave-, by Giving
Their Services Free for Three
Months, and Thus Demonstrate
Ing Their Ability to Cure
Many MaIadies That are
Called Incurable.i
A staff of eminent physicians and
surgeons from the British Medical
Institute have at the earnest solicita-
ton of large number of patients un-
der their treatment in this country,
established a permanent branch of
the Institutein this city at 100 Third
avenue, over Tremann's meat market.
These eminent gentlemen have de-
cided to give their services entirely
free for three months (medicine ex-
cepted) to all invalids who call upon
them for treatment between now and
No. 20. These services consist not
only of consultation, examination and
advice, but also of all minor surgical
operations.
The object in pursuing this course
is to become rapidly and personally
acquainted with the sick and afflicted,
and under no condition whatever will
any charge be made for any services
rendered for three months to all who
call before Nov. 20.
The doctors treat all forms of dis
case and deformities, and guarantee
q cure in every case they undertake.
AT the first interview thorough ex-
animation is made, and if incurable,
you are frankly and kindly told so;
also advised against spending your
money for useless treatment.
Male and female weakness, catarrh
and catarrhal deafness, cancer, with
out pain or cutting, rupture, all skin
diseases, and all diseases of the rec
tum are positively cured by their new
treatment.
DIR. t. o. Felts, the chief consult
ing surgeon of the institute, assisted
by one or more of his staff associates,
is in personal charge.
Office hours from 9 a. m. till p.
m. No Sunday hours.
Special Notice-lf you cannot call,
send stamp for question blank for
home treatment.
