KNOWS HOW TO DO 1T.

There is no man in Congress to-
day that can do the ''skinning act"
better than our own representative,
and when he gets the floor under the
special privilege" order, the men,
bers listen for something worth hear
ing and the fellows he is after seek
talltimber. While Judge DeArmond
was absent in the orient the republi-
can papers in this district, and of
Butler in particular, charged that he
was holding up the rural mail routes
to suit his own convenience. He
arose to a question OF personalprivi-
lege last week and denounced these
stories as false in every particular.
He then recited that the department
had agreed to divide the carriers on
the free mail routes equally between
the two political parties, That he
learned on the routes established at
Clinton all republicans had been ap
pointed. To this action OF the de-
partment Judge DeArlnond protest
ed and wrote three letters to the post
master general, requesting him to de-
fine his position on that point. To
these letters of inquiry no answers
were received.
In conclusion, Mr.. DeArmond de,
clarcd that the department had not
treated him frankly, fairly or in a
manly way" 1t had not answered
the pertinent question regarding the
division OF carriers between the par
ties. He charged that the conduct
ofthe department was in the interest
of certain Republican bosses in Mis-
souri,, one OF whom hoped to getinto
the United States senate.

A Look at the Bright Side.
Republic.

Republic.
Secretary George B. Ellis, in his re.
port to the State Board of Agricul.
ture, has called attention to the gen.
eral activity of the farmers in prepar.
ing themselves for future periods Of
drought, To those familiar with
conditions in the country there can
be no doubt as to the truth of the
statement.
Though Missouri farmers estimate
their losses because of last summer &
dry spell at about 81 000,000,000,
they realize that in the end they may
be able to regain the lost ground by
a serious application OF scientific
principles to general agriculture.
The many preventives of possible loss
that farmers are inaugurating show
that the years lesson has been we'll
learned.
Mr.. Ellis confidently predicts that
many will be able "to look back to
the year 1901 as the beginning OF
better methods in farming, more sys-
tematic rotation of crops, breeding
better live stock, boring deep wells
instead depending shallow
ponds, the more general growing OF
drought-resisting Notwithstanding
crops, the building OF silos and the
saving of the entire fodder crop"
If these things are secured to Mis-
souri, agriculture the State will in the
end be the better for the drought,
dark as the losses of the past few
months may seem. With properly
directed intelligence farming in this
State should yield higher returns
than any other section OF the coun-
try.
There must be a better outstanding
OF resources. Mr.. Ellis says that
there is less live stock in the State
than at the same time last year.
This is a direct result OF the dry
weather and the great demands ofex-
porters. In the future it is probable
that higher grade of cattle and
horses will be raised The facilities
forkeeping them are being improved.
There are many offsets to the $l00,-
600, 900 loss of the past SUNNI. In
enumerating them, Secretary Ellis
has shown some permanent advan-
tages gained through a most severe
period of adversely.

Zacatecas, Mexico, Dec. 22.-The
principal market house in this city
was destroyed by fire to-day and
over forty men were buried under
falling walls.
Fifteen bodies have been recovered
and there is little hope that any of
the Others will be taken out alive.
The exact number of men caught un-
der the wall is estimated at forty-five.
The lower part OF the immense
structure which is owned by the city,
was divided into cellars and refriger-
ating apartments in which was stored
meats at all times sufficient for the
city's consumption. 1t was in these
underground apartments that the
fire had its origin.
When FIRST discovered the flames
had gained considerable Roadway,
but had not penetrated the upper
portions Of the buildings. In order
to save as much OF the meat as pos
sible a large force of men were order
ed into the cellars to bring out what
could be saved.
While the work was under way
flames ate their way to the upper
floors. completely enveloping the
great market building, The fire de-
partment was utterly powerless to
save the structure and all it could do
was to prevent the flames from
spreading.
The force of men at work saving
goods stored in the cellars and re-
frigerating rooms filled all that por-
ton OF the building in which it was
possible for them to enter and live.
The intense heat weakened and crack

warning they crumbled and fell. The

The market building was one OF

and it is a total loss. The loss in

the city and is heavy, How the fire
originated is not known.

Bryan's Friend Accuses Hanna o
Double Dealing.

D0uDle Dealing.
New York, Dec. 19.-Norman Mack
OF Buffalo, who is a..friend of William
j Bryan, and is the Democratic CON-
mitteeman for this state. threw a
whole handful OF rocks to-day at the
labor capital arbitration movement.
Said he to reporter:
mark Hanna, Charles NJ. Schwab,
j. Pierpont Morgan land the Rookie
iellers, as the friends and well-wishers
oilaboring men are:indeed a spectacle
to make men wonder.
"Men who haveHsqueezed fully two
and a half billion dollars from the
necessities OF all and the toll OF the
laborer, now come here and loudly
pledge their friendship. 1t means
that these far-seeing philanthropists
are beginning to see a great light.
thrust the laborer will gain some
thing from the conference, but would
it show a doubling nature if one
were to whisper to organized labor:
Don't be deluded into buying any
gold bricks?'
"There are greatIand good men on
the committee selected" said Mr..
Mack, "but there are some others
who have better claims to greatness
than to goodness. Does anybody
seriously believe that Mark Hanna
or Morgan or the Rockefellers have
any friendship for the laboring man2
They have not proven it in the last
thirty or forty years and man can

The national conventions are to be
held in 1904. A President is to be
elected. The Republican party has
to face the people again onits record.
That accounts for the conference
here, for the handwriting on the wall
is that trusts and labor oppression
are to be paramount issues Of the
campaign.
"Hanna is shrewd enough to real
ize that the Standard Oil Co., the
Billion-dollar Steel Trust and kindred
corporations that are sapping the
life blood OF the nation are about as
heavy a burden as any political par
yscould ever hope to bear.
"He has planned this play to the
galleries-this cementing of labor
and capital, for political reasons.
It's spectacular and some real good
may come from it. But whss he and
Others profess deepest, sincersst af-
lection for the toilers, it rather an
gers me. I'd rather have somebody
