Appeal to anthropIsts.

An appeal has been issued to An
drew Carnegie, Miss Helen Gould,
Nathan Strauss, and all other wealthy
philanthropists by the officers OF the
Cooperative Brotherhood, asking them
to help the movements Of the brother
hood to establish cooperative bakeries
and provision stores for the poor in
New York city. Bread and provisions
are to be sold in these stores at cost
prices. The necessities Of life are to be
sold without profit. One thousand
dollars toward starting $500 CO.

No. l." said President Storken. II was
one Of the organizers of the co-opera-

been engaged in work of this kind all
my life. Neither politics nor religion
has anything to do with our move
ment. Workingmen Of all religious
beliefs and political opinions are ask
ed to join this movement. 1t already
has strong trades union backing Of
5 900 workmen, who are ready to carry
on this work unaided. But at the same

any offers of assistance that may come
from them. With the capital they have
at their command they could set the
cooperative movement in this country
so solidly on its feet that it would last
as long as the nation"

crop would be profitable one for
the farmer. In France this wheat
Is worth ten or fifteen or eight
cen cents per bushel more than ordi
nary wheat. There must of course be
some preliminary work and canvassing
done-contracts made with farmers
to insure a supply Of wheat before the
first factory Is built-but this should
not be difficult. The department ex-
periments have shown that this wheat
can be grown as we'll and as cheaply in
parts of the United States as anywhere
in the world, and it is therefore nat
ural that sooner or later we should
make at least our own macaroni, IL
we do not in time export it. More ex-
tensive experiments will be made dur
ing the coming year to extend the area
in which it is known this wheat will
thrive. The spring varieties have CIV
en- the best results.-Guy Z. Mitchell.

AND QUAY ALIKE

Sioux City Tribune: The protective
system" is to Pennsylvania as slavery
was to Dixie. The state is an oligar-
chy of protectionists and no other form
has chance to exist. Wanamaker,
who is at outs with Quay, hoisted him
self into official life by raising a cor
ruption fund Of 100000 in Philadel-
phia, after Quay had shaken the tree
to the limit of his strength. The diff
frence between these two men is,
therefore. but in degree of culpability.
Both are subordinate to the system
which has made them public charac-
tiers.

4 Kansas City Times reporter. "She IS
a very Iadylike person; finely edu-
Gated, of prepossessing appearance
and a person of power. In Chicago
we then tried not 10 dignity the an
archist movement by making arrests.
We simply watched them and pre-
served order at their meetings. There
were then about 25 or 80 leading an

ably 5000 TO 5000 in the city.
Something viii have to De done to
control the anarchists. OF course,
after the lamenUable death of Presi-
dent Mckinley, the question of an
archy will assume a paramount place
in the discussions of the prison con-
gress."
Both Mr.. Drake and Mai Nc
Claughry were vehement in their as
persions against anarchists. They
said the sessions Of the Kansas City
prison congress might evolve a plan
that would be practicable TO handle
these enemies of society. At all events,
the deliberations Of the congress Will
have much weight in the earnest dis
cussiOn of the matter, and inasmuch
as this Will be the first formal body of
its kind 10 take the matter up, it can
readily be fOreseen that its delibera-
tions and conclusions viii attract
world wide attention.
About 500 delegates from penal and
reformatory institutions all over the
country will attend the congress.
MANY others who are interested in
prison reform. in the subject of an
archy and like questions, are also ex-
pected TO be present. The congress
will convene on Saturday, November
Q. and will last until the following
Wednesday.
Mr.. Drake and Mai. McClaughry said
that probably one question 10 be con-
sidered was that of admitting news
papers into jails and Penitentiaries.
Heretofore they have been rigidly ex-
cluded, except in those instances
where they were admitted after they
had been ''eXpurgated" of all criminal
news. The idea is growing steadily TO
let prisoners have the papers. The
"Iock step" viii also be considered.
In discussing the presidents death.
Mai. McCiauGhry said he had observed
that eastern newspapers had sug-
gested that Senator Wellington, Of
Maryland. should be impeacsed for his
unfortunate remarks about the presi-

the senator be oStracized by his col
