SpoGner and the Octopus.

Yes. shouted Senator SpOoner of Wis
cOnsin. with remarkably well simulated
hysteria, 'let the people Of Porto Rico
starye until the courts have determined
whether we shall pay back the money col
lected as duties 10 the sugar and tobacco
trusts" Evidently. the moral of the story
is in the application of it, Mr.. Spooner, in
the frankness of his peculiarly open ma
ture would let Us into the dark secret that
it is the trusts that want free trade with
Porto Rico. while he and his octopus hunt
ing associates. Hanna Hale Payne. and
the rest are trying 10 extend the bounte-
Gus boon Of Dingleyism to the suffering
islanders.
The Spooner position will not stand the
test Of historical analysis. 4 few weeks
ago when President Mckinley was firmly
for humanity toward Porto Rico and i'm
mediate recognition of the inherent con-
stitutional right of domestic free trade
possessed by that American Territory;
when even the elastic and versatile Payne
was declaring that Porto Rico must have
what was accorded to every other State
and Territory, and Alaska not organized
into a Territory" not a voice in the coun-
try was lifted against the Administration
programme, until the trust magnates and
attorneys swooped down upon the Capitol
and the White House and ordered a change

Then il was, and not until then, that
the subterfuge of treating integral Ameri-
can territory as foreign, for purposes of
tariff taxation. was invented and resorted

SO feelingly refers and which would like
to get back customs duties, while the

certain that they do not include those in

Rockefellers. the HayemeyeTs, ONnard,
Spreckles and Duke.

Practical puIpit Politics.

/; is sometimes said that the clergy
man of today does not follow the pre-
cepts of the New Testament as closely
as his predecessors; that he neglects TO
visit the poor to comfort the unfortunate,
and 10 aid those IN need Of material or
spiritual assistance.
The former rector Of church in Pough-
keepsie is in q position to say something
about the reasons for this alleged degen-

II is reported that mis- clergy yman Las bsen

spent so much Of his time among the

is privileged to have viii probably see the
futility of trying to live up TO the stand

devote his time TO church politics instead.

their work. and others undoubtedly truckle

realizes that something ting wiil
have to be done, and done at once, to as
sure the American people that it is op-
posed to the trusts The size OF the I'M
dertaking it proposes may well be realized
from the condition OF public sentiment
throughout the country at the present
time. The relations between the Adm nj =
tration and the Standard Oil bank in
New York: the abandonment OF the Presi-
SCENTS free trade position with regard to

The dictation of trust magnates-tEese and
other like developments have made it in
deed no easy task for the party in power

the United States that its dearest wish Is
to throttle and destroy the thing upon
which il lives and thrives. and to which il
owes allegiance unlimited by humanity,

Republican party talks about action

Stli. the party of Hanna Rockefeller

The Destruction of Trees.
Trom the Minneapolis Times.)

PAPER manufacturers throughout the country
complain that they threatened by wood
pulp famine The demand for paper is steadily
increasing at rapid rate, while the forests which
furnish the pulp are being ruthles;fy destroyed.
roI the manufacture of cheap paper no good sub
stitute for pulp from spruce and poplar has been
discovered and the country has been to a great
extent denuded of these trees. whit nothing has
been done to repair the damage by starting a
new growth.
While the spruce and poplar have been turned
into paper and other forest trees have been cat
into lumber and fuel and railroad ties until it
has become matter OF prime importance that
steps be taken TO stay the destui Non. 1t will
not do to delay much longer the establishment
Of forestry commissions like those in the countries
of Europe. Il must soon be made the rule that
trees shall be cut only when Saplings of the same
kind are growing. 4 one must lac set out
for every cid one destroyed. By following this
rule such countries as Germany and Denmark have
kept their forests intact, although timber has
been freely cut for hundreds of years. We in the
United States mus come to it. We cannot forever
go on consuming the natural wealth of our coun-
try without doing something to repair the waste.

4 New Danger.

The oyer-cautious man has always cause
for Jrepidation. There are some people
who can never be comfortable so long as
they can see. anywhere in the distance
the smallest chance of harm coming to
themselves or their families. They Wor-
~ continually over the possibility of this,
that and the other misfortune happening TO
them as il has TO others. and cannot en-
JOY he good things they have because they
arc apprehensive of disaster and loss at
some time in the future.
This trait is good, when it exists in mod
Grafton II II would lead the cautious man
to be careful about spreading disease, or
allowing impure water. milk, or food to
be furnished the community. it would be
most useful to the public. But sometimes
he overlooks the plain and obvious duties
of everyday life, in order TO worry over
calamities which either cannot be prevent
ed or are not likely TO happen.
Timorous people Of this type will find
q new reason for alarm in an incident
which happened in Pennsylvania the other
day. 4 woman was peacefully working in
her kitchen. unconscious of any danger.
when there was a violent explosion, and
she was thrown to the floor and scalded
with hot water. 1t was subsequently dis
covered that a pot of beans had exploded
with such force that some of the flying
beans were actually imbedded in the wood
work
This is a truly ominous development.
Heretofore the bean has been considered
as one OF The most harmless and nutri-
tious of foods. and il was not known that
il could possibly be a receptacle for
stored-up energy OF this sort. If there
is not safety in the bean-pot, what is
Boston to do?
Some time ago. in the streets of an
Alabams town, a barrel of molasses ex-
ploded, covering the buildings, vehicles,
mules. and people in the vicinity with
sweet and sticky fluid. This was sufficient
ly alarming, but il beans as well as mo-.
iasses are proved unsafe. what will hap
pen next? VIII the -four barrel display
the properties of dynamite, or butter
tubs and potato bins turn out to be dis
guised bombshells?

Secretary Gage has submitted 10 the
President of the Senate the following

Il have the honor to transmit herewith
copy of a communication from the Audi

act of February 81. 1899, for the purpose
of restoring and repairing the worn-out

owing to the fact that the appropriation
is exhausted.
''It is estimated that il the force Low
employed on the work is dropped for want
of appropriation. there will be a reduction
in the number of claims settled of from
fifteen to twenty-five a day, which it is
desirable should not occur, and in view of
the urgency of the case, and because there
should be no interruption in the audit OF

THE SIZE OF A CROWD.
Difficult Work tn Estimate the

tFrom the New Orleans Times-Dcms cratD
Estimating the size of a crowd is the
hardest kind of guessing in the world.
said an cid citizen. Nothing is more
elastic more compres=ible. and more de-
ceptive than a great throng. On two oc
casiOns a street or square may appear 10
be packed to its capacity. and one would
say. roughly. that about the same number
of people were present each time. AS
matter of fact. there may have been
difference of several thousand. ] am
convinced. from observation covering
number of years that il is impossible
for anybody standing on the level occu-
pied by a crowd to form even an ap-
proximately accurate estimate Of its size.
Such a spectator has no means of arriving
at the density of the mass before him. and
that is the vital point in the who,e ealcu-
lation.
The proper place from which to size
up any great gathering is as nearly as
possible overhead-in other words. from
the roof or upper windows of some ada
cent tall building. 1t is only by look
ing down on crowds from a height
that you can appreciate their great differ

strange wave movement which occurs
in all crowds is clearly discernible. and 1t
is certainly a curious sight. sight ttsr
will be seen from some extreme corner; Tor
a few seconds il will travel toward the
centre exactly like a ripple over water.
then suddenly it will break and spread
itself along three or four irregular paths,
each ending in a crush which must be
entirely inexplicable to the people in the
vicinity What causes these movements
to take such eccentric routes through
throng is at first blush mystery, but l
suppose il can easily be explained on the
common principle of force moving in lines
of the least resistance Some chap on the
outskirts starts the thing by shouldering
his neighbor and the impulse is passed
along, always by way of the weakest.
As an illustration of how guessers wi |
differ in their estimates of crowds, | asked
two very level-headed gentlemen how
many people they thought were assemble
at the fot of Canal Street TO witness the
landing of Rex. One said 5000 and t3e
other 30,000. The reasons given in both
cases sounded about equally plausible.

The sheldon Experiment.

which has blessed their efforts, through

Christ would have done il. that they now
propose TO continue business at the o,d

This will be welcome intelligence to a
large element Of Americans who have re
GREETED that the test of the Sheldon idea
was so limited in duration as to not be
a test at all. People win patronize any
passing fad for a week. and the question
as TO the popularity and living chance OF
daily paper devoted primarily to mis-
sionary exhortation, and little mild eth
ics. could never be settled in that time.
We are glad that the Topeka Capital
directors have determined TO SheldOnize
their journal for good and all. Before the
'.season of unusual interest just about to
terminate they had a circulation Of few
thousand. II is now three hundred thou

ume of advertising common to provincial
publications Of the class. This week they
have been simply engulfed in patronage
from all over the world. and they must
feel because they certainly act as if they
had money for purposes Of confiagration.
Next week the real crux of their expert
ment viii come. We shall then see how
the subscribers and advertisers respond TO
the permanent scheme Of no news and all
