The action of the organization
seemed to be directed towards promot-
ing harmony of feeling between them
selves and denlers. They instructed
members vi the executive committee
of the State Association from the two
counties to favor a rate of $l.35 for
Stars, and $l.55 for Clears at the
mills. A provision was likewise in
corporated that If the market should
justify further increase, that it shall
be divided between the producers and
dealers. A dealers association was
likewise favored.

To PAY McKINLEY's Political
DEBTs.-Vice President Hepburn, of
the National City Bank, in a letter to
Secretary Gage, gives an intimation of
the origin of the special favoritism
manifested by the administration to-
wards it. In the concluding sentence
of request to retain the appointment
as U. S. depository, Mr.. Hepburn very
ingeniously says: "Of course the
bank is very strong, and if you will
take the pains to look at our list of d.
rectors you will see that We also have
very great political claims in view of
what was done during the canvas last
year." Thus, it will be seen, hobs up
the little joker, which will probably
lead to impeachment of the Secre tary,
despite the efforts OF the administra
ton to save him.

PROBABLY PROMPTED BY Envy
Prof. Schenk, who claimed some time
ago that he had discovered the secret
of sex, has been censured by the fac
ulty of the University of Vienna, of
which he a member, for publication of
his discovery through the press. Such
treatment of University professor is
unprecedented, and probably owing
more to professional jealousy than
charlatanism on the part of the pro-
lessor. Certain it is that DR.. Saml
L. Schenk has for years been consid-
cred the leading embryologist of Eu-
rope. In January, 1898, he first an
nounced that he had discovered the
secret of sex after twenty years of ex-
pertinent. By his own choice. he said,
he was the father of six boys.

REPUBLICANSM is UNGRATEFUL..-A
short time ago it was confidently al
firmed by the Republican press that it
was " Copperhead" Atkinson who was
responsible for the continuance OF the
Filipino war, from the despicable habit
he had of sending incendiary docu-
ments, many of them of Republican
origin, into Aguinaldo's domains. Now
the responsibility is shifted to other
shoulders and it is claimed that con-
tinued hostilities are due to Hoar's
speech, which had been cabled at an
expense OF 81 900. by Carnegie, direct
to the insurgent leader, and the Mas
sachusetts Senator, who built the Re-
publican party, is as ingloriously as
sailed by the combine of avarice and
greed as was Horace Greeley, the
father of the party, when he endeav-
ored to discipline his offspring.

Too MUCH The railroad
war in Seattle goes on. 1t is reported
that j. J. Hill in a speech before the
State Farmers Association, at St.
Paul, ON the 10th, incidentally stated
that the immense amount of freight
to be handled by his road and the
great ships he is building for the ORR
entail trade, must find transfer point
somewhere else on Puget Sound than
Seattle, if fifteen hundred feet of the
waterfront is given to a rival road.
So Seattle is unhappy, and realizes
most fully, in the scramble Of the gi-
ants for supremacy, the truth of the
saying, "How happy could 1 be with
either, were 'tother dear charmer
away" The matter is likely to enter
into politics and rend the Republican
party in twain. Ex-senator Wilson is
said to be making a determined rally
for the Northern Pacific, and his enc
mics, by the rule of opposites, are lin
ing up for the Great Northern.

THE ST. PAUL WINTER CARNIVAL
At the great Winter Carnival, to be
held at st. Paul, next month, a COM
plete model Of the magnificent Dewey
arch in New York, and the flagship
Olympia, all in ice, will delight the
hundreds OF thousands of visitors who
will be attracted by the unique dis
play. Plans of the arch will be oh.
tanned from New York, and measure
ments and details of the flagship from
the Navy Department at Washington,
SO that the models will be an exact re-
production OF the originals in the
frigid element. They will be hollow
and provided with an elaborate plan
of illumination in which colored cleo
trio lights will be used. The turrets
and ports of the cruiser will be used for
pyrotechnic display which will give a
very fair imitation of a warship in &C.
ton. The ship will be erected within
the carnival grounds, which will be
entered through the great arch.

Now let US sec if this is so. The
World, We maintain, has taken the
i,Ull 10y the tail instead OF the horns
The FIST century was completed after
the lapse oi nincty-nine years and 3G3
day, which constitute the full hun
drodth year Of the count. If it be
conceded that nincty-nine years and
3Gj days complete 4 full century,
Under what system OF computation
docs the HorH claim that 800 days, or
one year, more, must be added to com
plctc the same subdivision of the rec
ord OF time? What is true OF the
first century is just as true of the
others. Applying the same principle
to the familiar illustration of our coin
age, we find that dollar consisting OF
100 cents, is fair example for demon
stration. Nine dimes and nine cents
do not complete the dollar, but nine
dimes and ten coppers do, just as 1899
years and IL months do not complete
the 18th century, but 1899 years and
IL months do, and no reasoning can
make it require 1899 years and 81
months to do the same thing. The
trouble arises from the fact that some
people begin enumeration after the
year is completed, and that of course
keeps the count one year ahead.
The first year grew, day by day, and
month by month, till the last day and
month was completed, and on the
3G5th diurnal revolution of mother
Earth year One, closed volume, was

A Newspaper Angel"

1t is customary with those theatre
cal companies which take the road
without IA star" of established repu-
tation, to secure, if possible, what is
technically known as an "angel," u
gentleman generally as long on purse
as he is short in brains, who is relied
upon to help the company out of all
sorts OF financial straits encountered
on the rough road they sometimes
travel. The motive which prompts
the "angel' to sacrifice his time and
money, is generally tender passion
for the leading lady, or he may find
the object of admiration several grades
removed from the star, if beauty and
grace lend their potent charm to en-
snare the angel.
That newspaper should resort to
such an extraordinary expedient, and
secure an "angel" TO put up for
its shortcomings is, however, an evo-
luton of the Goth century, and the
unanswered query has often been
made where is the motive for such a
sacrifice, as the controlling impulse
the master passion-like Noah's dove
on its first mission, finds no resting
place for Cupid's bower in a print
ing office. Can it be that Ambition
casts magic spell DER Reason, and
that Judgment is lulled to sleep by
the mythical charm OF printers ink?
Or has Flattery sung syren songs to

cess?
Whatever may have been the incen-
tive for some such noted examples of
folly, from business standpoint, it is
safe to advise the victim to venture
only upon moderate flights, lest his
wings be scorched, or he may, indeed,
meet the fate of Icarus, whose wings
being cemented with wax, melted at q
high altitude and he ingloriously fell
into the sea.

WASHINGTON, Jan. II, 1900.
Imperialism, as everybody who has
read Of Julius Cesar and Napoleon
Bonaparte knows, is always accompa-
MED by spread-eagleism. II is one OF
the methods of imperialists to dazzle
the eyes OF the people with glitterlng
words and promises so that they will
be unable TO see the many and glaring
evils OF imperialism. Therefore, the
spreadesgle speech in favor of the adj
ministration's Philippine policy, made
by Senator Beveridge, of Indiana. was
not a new policy. but merely revival
of one as old as Imperialism itself.
Mr.. Beverage, although young man.
is an orator of the old school, a master
OF diction, and o psinstaking elOcu-
ZIONIST. So his speech sounded well.
But his facts and his logic were some
wha. shaky. Senator Hosr said that
practically every statement OF fact
made by Mr.. Beverage was refu.ed by
official reports from Admiral Dewey,
Gen. Otis, and other officials in the
Philippines. Senator Hoar also said
the eloquence and beauty of the
speech as whole recalled to his mind
the incident OF Satan taking Christ on
q high mountain and promising him
everything in sight if He would only
kneel down and worship him. Christ
replied: "Get thee behind Me, Sa-
TAM" and Mr.. Hoar believes the
American people will eventually say
Get thee behind me. imperialistic
tempter." Mr.. HOar expressed regret
that the speech of Mr.. Beveridge was
so full of "wealth" and "glory" and
kindred things that there was no room
for such words as fright" Justice"
"duty," and "ireedom."
The bosses Of the gagged House not

that eulogies were delivered of the late

The one thing that members OF the

Is Righteousness Waningp

This paper has, on divers occasions,
deprecated the cruelty Of the so-called
"sport" known as live-bird shooting
contests. To such proportions has
this unwarranted practice grown that
regular tournaments are now held ut
stated times in both Seattle and Ia
coma, where the crack shots of West
crn Washington assemble to try their
skill in craftsmanship by shooting as
many pigeons as can be brought
down after being liberated from the
elevated cages provided for that pur-
pose. "The Washington State Live.
Bird Shooting Association" recently
held one of its tournaments in Seattle
where hundreds of birds were either
killed or miserably MANNED and man
gled, to suffer more lingering death
\ similar slaughter OF these harmless
birds was also perpetrated at Tacoma,
where the press of that city of boosted
Christianity and refinement published
under glaring headlines, the names of
the talented sportsmen who won honor
by killing and disabling the largest
number OF pigeons. TO supply the
demands of these fiendish contests
professional pigeon-breeders have large
establishments at various down-Sound
points, where tine birds are raised by
hundreds and thousands and sold at
profitable prices to the sporting associ-
atoms.
1t was Cowper who said a hundred
years ago that cruelty was devilish,
and yet in our own fair land and in
this age OF enlightenment, this devil
ishncss is an organized system, and
carried on according to established
rules and regulations, under the I'M
mediate supervision of salaried officers.
When it is known that these I've
bird shooting associations exist in
every considerable city from British
Columbia to Southern California, it
will be seen at once that there is no
exaggeration in the assertion that
there is to-day more money invested
in this fiendish business on the Pacific
coast alone, than half-civilized Spain
has spent in hundred years for her
bull-fghts. And yet preachers tell us
that the world is growing better and
the millennium is coming!
While this article was being written
the report came that the Los Angeles
Society for prevention of cruelty to
animals has taken up the matter in
good earnest against the live-bird
shooters of Southern California. Dur
ing a late shooting tournament in
that city, sheriff's deputy and his
men dashed into the grounds and ar
rested every man who had shot bird,
and they are now under bonds to ap-
pear before the next session of the
grand jury.

FROM HOME OF LUXURY TO THE
STAGE.-Mrs. Neville Castle, of San
Francisco, has the ambition of Mrs.
Potter and is willing to make an equal
sacrifice for it. Under her maiden
name of Mary Scott, she will leave a
home of luxury to take tho part of
Fay" in Princess and Butterfly"
with the Frawleys. When she mar
ried Mr.. Castle, two years ago, she
told her husband CT this lifelong am
bition, and he said, "Wait, and if in
two years you still desire to enter the
dramatic profession, and those capable
of judging decide you have talent for
it, l will not withhold my consent"
The two years have expired and Fraw-
ley says she has talent, so the matter
has ended by her signing contract
for the season beginning this month.
Mr.. Castle is one of the wealthy men
of San Francisco. His wife is q sister,
in-law of Mrs. Walter NJ. Castle, who
was arrested in London in 1896 for
shoplifting and held in $3.50, 1000 bail
for trial. Pleading guilty, she was
sentenced to three months imprison-
ment, but Minister Bayard interced-
ing for her on plea of kleptomania,
she was released on the third day of
her imprisonment.
