The Philadelphia North American publishes pic
ture OF steer with dotted lines dividing 1t into the
parts into which beef is cut up when butchered and
upon each part Of the picture is printed the normal
price of the meat and the present price, due the
gigantic conspiracy OF the beef trust.
Here the prices Neck 6 cents now IL cents;
clod TO- now 20; shin 6, 49, chuck rib 10 now 20;
shoulder and flank 6. 49, middle rib 16, now %;

1t charged that the trust besides the profits that
win make out of these advanced prices expects to
make money still out of the sale of canned meats
of which the store houses of the trusts full The
class of cattle is used for canning 1t is charged
that diseased animals often used. 1t is impossible
to tell the age of the trusts canned meat During the
Spanish in 1898 a number of cans became wet and
the outer labels peeled Off revealing the inner labels
which showed that the meats had been packed canned
and sealed for the Chicago Worlds Fair in 1929 So
that the labels prove nothing Everybody remembers
the widespread sickness caused among our soldiers by
the "embalmed beef furnished them during the Span
sh war.
There is no doubt that great hardship and wide
spread suffering among the poorer classes of people
has been caused by the trusts extortion Every cti
zen has felt the squeeze" For the first time the
American people have been made to feel sharply
actly what trust is, A cry has gone up from the
people all the country The evil calls aloud for
remedy The oppression of ancient peoples is brought
to mind The trust barons are the 'peopledevouring
kings' of the present day. What mean ye that We
beat my people to pieces and grind the faces of the
poor? saith the Lord God of hosts"
popular revolution is a fearful thing. Yet in the
past the uprisngs of the people have caused by
this very thing Beware OF hungry people is the les
son of history, The republicans travelling dan
geroua road, To hesitate about pointing this out
would be a failure of patriotism.

THE PEOPLE AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

Easy is the descent to Avernus" the poet Virgil
wrote nearly two thousand years ago. Whom the
gods would destroy they first make mad" said Caesar
an exceedingly shrewd observer of men and human
events The recent Of the republican party in
this country affords striking instance of the truth
of these ancient observations.
There are two great questions OF public policy with
which statesmen of the present day have to deal The
one involves the foreign policy of the government the
other its domestic policy What shan we do about i'm,
perialism and what shall We about the trusts are
the two problems Immediately pressing for solution
upon people and our National counsolors with an
insistence that is daily becoming more apparent
Now, to an impartial observer the fact that the
democrats have all along been declaring that tho TO
pubicans are radically wrong en- both of these mos
tons might be taken simply expected position of
the opposition II is the meter Of the democrats 10
declare the republicans wrong. Party spirit and party
policy, it might be urged. require the democrats to
dissent.
closer examination of these two great questions
however and consideration OF the theories involved
and the facts as they brought to light In tho news
columns of the papers Of all parties win Inevitably
bring the investigator possessed OF a strong moral
sense to the conclusion that the republicans are in the
wrong because the trusts and the policy of Imperialism
are both founded outright violation of the eighth
commandment delivered in the ancient DAYS amid the
thunders of Sinai and recognized by Christian and
philosopher and the conscience of all men as oardl.
nal law OF morality the commandment which reads
Thou shalt not steal" The taking of the land and
liberty OF foreign people, the corneng of the neces
sites OF life to raise prices and empty the pockets of
the poor man. are both theft in principle and in prae
tice The fact that both done on gigantic scale
merely adds to the Nervousness of these ofenses and
invests them with attribute spendor with which
men should allow their maginaons to be dazzed and
deceived.
The people throughout the country are beginning
to appreciate this Since The report of Major Gar
dener and the revelations Of the Waller court martial
have brought home to the people the conditions in

kes Of the moderately welltodo throughout the
try, there has been wonderful revolution in feeling
even in dyodinthe-woo republicans. The adminstra.
ton Is to blame The Philippine atrocities have given
us knock on the conscience and the beef trust has
given us rap in the stomach. II may have a humor-
sound to put it but the humor is of grim sort
that will be translated into deadly seriousness Of
action. These wrongs will be righted at election
time by republican defeat of such magnitude as has
never before been seen in our history.

Brussels. Feb. 15.-It is said that the
desire to keep secret the departure of
Or. Mueller, former consul of the Or
ange Free State On Holland, for the
United States was so keen that the
Boer emissary was booked passage un-
der an assumed name.
According to information from re-
sponsiblc Boer quarters, Kruger's let
ter to President Roosevelt, of which
Mueller is the bearer, does not appeal
for Intervention, but expresses regret
that he is unable at present to person
ally congratulate President Roosevelt
on his accession to office and con-
cludes with gratified allusion to the
numerous invitations to visit the great
republic.
Besides reorganizing the Boer pro-
paganda in the United States, DR..
Mueller will direct his efforts princi.
pally to obtaining government prohibi-
tion of expectation of articles regarded
by the Beers as contraband of war,
thus indirectly eliciting an opinion on
the war from the United States govern
ment.

BULLET IN BRAIN.
W. H. Jessup, of Fort Sumner, N. N.
Commits Suicide.
TAKES LIFE IN COLORADO.

Thursday night, the local correspond
ents of the Denver newspapers re-
ceived kilograms to furnish some in
formation about a man named w. Ii.
Jessup, of Fort Sumner, N. NJ, as he
had committed suicide near Magnolia
station, Colo. Upon inquiry among
certain citizens yesterday 1t was learn
ed that man named Jessup was, once
upon a time in the cattle business in
this territory. but no facts regarding
him or the Colorado suicide could be
obtained
The News of yesterday contains the
following article on the suicide:
"A body, supposed to De that of Will
liam II. Jessup, of Fort Sumner, n. M,
was found lying near the Kansas Pa
cific tracks near Magnolia station yes
terday morning. There was bullet
hole in the right temple and 3S-cali-
ber revolver near the body. Coroner
Horan, who did clever detective work
in establishing the identity of the dead
man, says it is plain case of suicide.
"The suicide was evidently contem-
plated since Monday. On that date Jes-
sup, who had two good suits in his
grip, purchased new suit OF clothes
at the May. which he had delivered at
the Brown hotel, where he had arrived
the day previous. and registered from
Fort Sumner. He took his meals at
restaurants, and so far as is known
made no acquaintances. He was not
noticed around the hotel Wednesday
and the room showed that he had not
been there since the chambermaid had
cleaned il.
when a train crew on the Kansas
Pacific got into Magnolia yesterday the
conductor notified the operator that
mans body was lying on the prairie
about forty feet from the right of way.
Coroner Horan was notified and sent
deputy for the body. Ii was lying on
the right side and the revolver was
about foot from the right hand. Moth
ing by which the body could be identi-
fed was found. On the hose were the
initials, "W. j." A sack of tobacco,
some cigarette papers and knife
were found in the pockets. The name
of the May was found on the collar or
the coat. and this led TO the Identified
tion of the body. The shoes indicated
that he had walked to the place where
he was found The body was brought
to the morgue.
THE coroner telegraphed to Fort
Sumner asking il Jessup was known
there, but received no reply. He learn
ed that On Monday Jessup sent a tele-
gram TO Mrs S. f. Jessup, 106 Eighty
lirst street. New York.
"The cause of the suicide is not
known. 1t is believed that. having no
money. he became desponGent. His
clothes were all expensive except the
suit he purchased since coming here,
and he had an air of refinement about
him. Jessup was about 80 years old,
smoothly shaved, had a prominent
nose of the Hebrew type, and wore a
wide-brimmed white Stetson hat"

IMPORTANT CONFERENCE.
President Roosevelt and Cabinet Held
Meeting with Senators.

Washington, Feb. ia very impor-
tant conference was held by the cab
met at the white house today. At the
presidents request he was joined there
shortly after 10 o'clock by Senators
Allison, Aldrich and Spooner, Speaker
Henderson, Representatives Cannon
and Grosvenor. The conference lasted
until few minutes after noon. Previ-
Gus to the conference the president
breakfasted at the white house with
Attorney General Knox, Postmaster
General Payne and Senator Hanna.
When the conference broke up those
who participated in it were extremely
and unusually reticent. That the sen
ators are the members of the steering
committee of the senate and Speaker
Henderson and his two lieutenants,
who were present today, practically
control the legislation of the house.
gave rise to the belief that the con-
sultation referred to the legislative
program of congress and might have
a bearing upon the shaping of the
Cuban, Philippine and war revenue re-
peal legislation.
There also was intimation that the
president talked with the party lead
ers of congress about the Schley case,
and color was given to this surmise by
a remark dropped by one of the sena-
tors. But nothing definite as to the
purpose or result of the consultation
could be obtained.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
Plan of Work for En-
suing Year.
Governor Taft's Report on the
Philippines.
Hundreds Buried by Earthquake in
the Russian Caucasus.
PRINCE HENRY WILL SAIL.

Washington, Feb. 15.--Interest in
the national woman suffrage associa-
ton meeting today was heightened by
the fact that it marked the eighty-sec-
ond birthday of Susan B. Anthony. She
was the recipient of many congratula-
tions and floral tributes.
Mrs. Boyer, of Philadelphia, present
ed plan of work for the coming year.
The part relating to taxation without
representation caused considerable dis
cussion which developed the fact that
in paying taxes number of delegates
insert in the tax certificates the
words: Paid under protest"
recommendations by the committee
were to appoint a special committee
to double the membership; that clubs
seek qualified women as local organ
iZers and when such are found invite
them to assist; that in the national
capital there should be published a
woman's journal; that systematic work
be done to increase circulation of suf-
frage documents; that presidential suf-
frage be urged and that there shall be
woman's suffrage stamp, similar to
that used in France; that prizes be
offered for best essays on woman suf-
frage and that we continue our plea
for the sixteenth amendment respect
ing suffrage"
The recommendations were adopted.
The convention recognized Miss An.
thongs birthday by raising $4,000 to
carry on an educational campaign
Resolutions were adopted protesting
against government regulation of vice
in our new possessions; pointing with
satisfaction to our equal suffrage in
several states and declaring that the
beneficent experience of those states
confirms every hope and refutes every
objection; calling attention to the civil
service commissioners and all heads
of departments, and calling notice tc
the unjust discrimination against wo
men.
