Mutations of Twenty Years


Editorial Correspondence Of The Beef
WASHINGTON. March Twenty years
ago to the day I looked down from the
press gallery Of the house OF represen-
tatives upon the closing act Of a great po-
ltical drama. the memorial exercises in
honor Of James A. Garfield. On Thursday.
February "a, I occupied almost the same
seat In the press gallery and viewed much
the same Sad and solemn scene CON-
memorative Of the deeds and virtues Of our
late president, William Mckinley. In all
essential particulars the exercises OF
Thursday were a replica Of those Of twenty
years ago.

tic science advances a BIT girls classes will
be taken through the markets mornings be-
fore the stands are despoiled Of their
produce.
1t is In the market that the first princi-
pies Of aesthetic gastronomy may be in
stilled and acquired. Here the actual
beauty Of the common foods that come to
our tables is in full evidence. The early
morning visitor cannot fail to be i'm
pressed with the wealth Of color, the trop-
ical glow about the stands Of fruits and
vegetables where tender green's mingle
with all the rainbow hues in exquisite
freshness and beauty.
Great artists have chosen the markets Of
Paris for their canvases and have seen
beauty CROUCH 20 perpetuate In lows OF
ducks and chickens. partridges and quail,
the glow Of beef and mutton. the scaly
brightness Of the fish, and 1t Is all there
for eyes that can see to feast upon.
Many Of the up-to-date dealers now dis
play their wares alive-silver-backed trout
swimming about their glass-walled tanks,
spring lambs ganiboiing in little pens, and
chickens and small birds In netted coops.
When one takes a child with her to market
she begins to learn what a wonderful place
1t is.
There Is an interest and education to be
found there. Each day In a market there
are marvellous happenings-such as the ar
rival of a consignment Of strawberries In
mid winter, big as plums; the first coming
of y~enison, OF the soft-shelled crab, the
oysters in their seasons-and with the
knowledge Of this new world the homely
task Of menu-making is filed with new in
terest and new ideas.
There will always be those who will say
that this subject Of what to eat Is not OF
SUFFICIENT Importance or dignity to be
ranked with those that women are taking
up in these modern and progressive days.
This is an old argument, just as the servant
girl question Is an old problem. But women
are getting further away from reality in
their advancement, while they relegate
these important matters to their domestics.
their grocers and their butchers.
We have grown from q h~ideously inartis-
tic era in our house furnishing TO IA time
when We can laugh at the parlor stove, the
horsehair sofa and wax flowers under a
glass case. Once the aesthetic side Of gas
tronomy is brought before the eyes Of
women SO that they may see Its vital rela-
ton to the important happenings OF tndi-
viduals, families and nations, then only
will we pass into a promised land where
woman win actually reign as queen. with
man irrevocably her subject.

Looking backward at the assemblage Of
twenty years ago one is almost startled by
the inroads Time has made In the ranks OF
public men within the last two decades.
To the men who dominate the politics today
1t will be startling to know that out Of the
449 men who occupy seats in the present
congress only twenty-three occupied seats
in the national legislature that participated
In the GARFIELD memorial exercises just
twenty years ago. OF that lumber eleven
occupied seats in the senate at that time
and four, who occupied seats In the house,
have since been transferred to the upper
branch. The eleven surviving senators who
occupied seats twenty years ago are Aldrich.
Allison, Cockrell, Frye, Hale, Hawley, Hoar,
Jones Of Nevada, Morgan, Plat OF Con-
necticut and Vest. The four members who
have passed from the south to the north
side Of the nations capitol are Blackburn,
Burrows, Jones Of Arkansas and Money. The

brief and comparatively uneventful, while
Mckinley had successfully grappled with
great problems and left a most enviable
record as a statesman.
Barring the presence of Prince Henry OF
Prussia and his suite, the view from the
press gallery was less brilliant and less
impressive than twenty years ago. The
change was especially marked in the per-
sonnet Of the army and navy. the supreme
court and makeup Of the national legis-
lature. Those who were in attendance upon
the memorial exercises to James A. Gar
field will recall the stalwart and dignihed
figure Of General Sherman, commanding the
army, and the less stalwart but more dash
ing General Phil Sheridan, the superb figure
Of Hancock, with a dozen officers Of high
rank who have since passed with them over
to the majority or ave been retired for age
or disability, while Admiral Porter Of the
navy. with a retinue OF naval officers, made
an equally spectacular showing. The diplo-
matte corps OF 1882, while perhaps not moro
renowned, was more numerous and more
conspicuous by reason of their dress. This
refers more especially to the oriental rep
resentatives, who have since that day, for
the most part, laid aside their operate
costumes for the commonplace garb Of the
European.

TREAT 1 ALIKE.

New York Tribune: According to
Governor DoIe's official report, Ha-
waii is prosperous, and it's goose hangs
as high as at any time in it's history.
But he thinks it's situation would be
improved by the repeal Of the Chi
nest exclusion laws, so that the sugar
planters could get more and cheap
labor, and thus increase their output.
But this is not SO easy a matter as
the governor evidently imagines. Con-
gress is not likely to make fish Of it's
Sandwich possessions and flesh of all
the rest, letting in Chinese there and
fencing them out elsewhere, to enrich
still further In already opulent hand
full of island sugar growers who ought
to be we'll content with the measure
Of prosperity they already enjoy

MUST GRATlFY HIM..

1t will no doubt be the source of
much qualification to President Roose"
welt to learn that he has finally sue
ceeded in winning the commentator
Of a Montana democratic newspaper.
One of the 'trooly loyI' organs COM
mends him for having refused to shoot
a zeal that was fastened to a tree,
and sarcastically and untruthfully de-
clares that that act of commission is
the only one in his career as president
that "even a democrat can commend.
This will probably surprise the
president, for he may have foolishly
believed that in throwing the weight
of his influence in the direction of
securing passage Of the irrigation law
he did something that might evoke a
feeling of kindness for him, even from
democrats, particularly those Of the
west. Then, too, he may have labored
under the absurd impression that
when he defed the coal barons and in
sisted that they treat with a commits
sion appointed by him for the purpose
of looking into the matter of a seri-
Gus grievance labor had against them,
he did something that might meet
with the approval of ''even a demo-
GRAFT" But if he was guilty of such
foolishness in either or both events
he will be duly grateful for having
his mind disabused of any such hal
lucination and should return thanks
to providence for the opportunity at
forded him to do something that has
finally found favor in democratic
minds.
However, all democrats do not seem
to regard him the same as does the
newspaper referred to. This is attest
ed by the declarations of so many OF
the party that if given the opportun-
ity to do so in 1904 they will vote for
him for president. But for all this he
should not allow his im~pulsiveness
and strenuosity to plunge him into
the doing of something likely to cause
a forfeiture of the esteem in which
he is at present held by his critic
over toward the west side OF the state.
Such a result would be simply awful
and would undoubtedly blast all his
prospects, bright as they now apear.

r BIGGER GAME.

EA. ~ 4 ELN
New York Sun: Colonel Moses
Cincinnatus Wetmore, the chief of
all the trust busters and the pride
Of st. Louis, will not fight a duel. He
has declined an invitation to fight
sent him by a Louisville man. Vulgar
rumor pretends that the colonel will
not go upon the field because the 9TH
er man is a good shot. This is un.
just to as brave a man as ever faced
a trust before selling out to it. While
on q hunting trip with Mr.. Bryan in
1899 Colonel Wetmore lassoed a jack
rabbit, hit a barn door and had to pay
for damages to the COW inside. His
skill is beyond question, but he has
no time to meet private antagonists.
While there is a trust in existence
Colonel Wetmore will devote his own
to starting an opposition and making
the enemy pay dear.

Palma government was married the

caparisoned horsemen and .serried

the less attested a high degree of
popular enthusiasm. What was it all
about? It was in the interest of legal

the terms of which the Cubans' favor

While his statement that he wanted
to kill Leopold as much for the in
human treatment of his own daughter,
the Princess Stepahie, a. for being a
detested king may cause Rubino to
lose caste with the anarchists, he
will probably be regarded with a
kindlier feeling by the rest of the
world and some no doubt are sorry
that he did not succeed. Because of
his immortality and general d~epravity
the old king has long baen regarded
with contempt by all decent people
and his cruelty toward his daughter
has only a%ccentuated that feeling and
had he been killed by the Italian an
archist there would have been little
genuine sorrow and regret despite the
show of official mourning that would
have been made by the representa-
tives of the other nations.

ADVISES SURRENDER.
General Uribe-Uribe Says Further
Warfare Is Useless.

Panama, Nov. ia letter from the
revolutionary general, Uribe-Cribe,
who recently capitulated, to General
Herrera, who is still in arms, is pub
lished here, in which Uribe-Uribe ad-
vises the latter to come to anarralge-
ment with the government similar to
that made by himself. He expresses
the opinion that Herrera might obtain
better terms from the government
general, Perdomo, who has requisite
authority to make an arrangement.
He believes that the interior Of the
republic is now completely pacified
and therefore no effort made by the
combined forces in the department of
Panama, Bolivar and Magdalena could
change the fate of their revolution. He
claims that the failure of General Her.
rera's military operations was due to
American Intervention, which made
it impossible for the revolutionists to
attack Panama and Colon, which were
scarcely defended.

A FARMERS SUGGESTION.

In connection with Montana's pros
pective exhibit at the Louisian Pur-
chase exposition a farmer of the Vel
lowstone valley offers a suggestion
that no doubt will commend itself to
many OF those who are DESTROYS that
an exhibit be made because of the
good it will result in to the state, al
though it is doubtful whether it could
be successfully carried into execution.
The idea he advances is that instead
of a general display each county
should be represented in a separate
exhibit, particularly the agricultural
counties Of the state. He argues that
while the ordinary method of calling
attention to the and posi-
bilities of the state may be resultant
of good in a general way it will be
too diffusive to be appreciate. if
possible he thinks the amount that it
is decided to appropriate for an ex-
hibit should be divided among the
various counties, each of which could
hen make q display particularly IL

Illustrative of it's resources. Several
counties with a commonality of inter-
ests might combine and make one
comprehensive and elaborate exhibit
calculated to show wherein they excel
and thus appeal directly to the in
tending emiglant and land buyer.
The value CT -uch exhibits no doubt
appeal to all who give the matter as
much as passing attention, but as to
their feasibility there may be much
and reasonable doubt. Too much
space would probably be required to

u of Showing Off" while the fear
that the money apportioned to some
might not be wisely or effectively ex
pended would probably also deter
some from giving their support to the
idea. But if it could be done it would
be something new in the way of ex-
hibits and would be bound to attract
attention as no other means of eX-
hibiting the states and adj
vertising it advantages could or
would.

e THEM r 1T.

1t is possible that the officers of the
anthracite coal mining companies
may really consider that an income of
$475.25 a year is ample for any man to
maintain a decent standard of living
and educate his children beside lay
ing something by for old age, but it
is doubtful whether any of them
would willingly submit to conditions
imposing such a restriction of income
upon themselves. Even the statement
that an occasional piano is to be found
in the homes of the men employed by
them does not strengthen their case
or satisfy the people that the de-
mands of the miners for a rate of
wages that will enable them to live in
a manne at least one degree above
the mules employed in the mines is
based upon unreasonableness. The
further fact that all or nearly all of
the munificent amount the Lehigh
Coal and Navigation company says
it pays on an average to it's miners
goes back into it's own treasury in
the form of rents and outrageous
charges for the things it sells to them
at it's own stores does not tend to
give force to it's claim of liberal and
just dealings with it's employees or de-
tract from the justice of the demands
of it's employees.

1t would seem that the subject had
become exhausted long ago, but there
are still newspapers in the state which
are writing learned articles to show
exactly why Montana went republi-
can at the late election. To n who
does not care to delve into the intri-
castles of subjects it appears that 1t
simply went that way because the
people wanted it and having wanted
that result, voted accordingly. At
all events, "she done went that a
way and the more the citizens think
of it the better pleased they become.

of criminal libel by Justice O'Connor

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER a.. 1902.
THE PRESIDENTIAL MESSAGE

st. Paul Dispatch: What the pres
ident will say in his message to con
gress next month, what affairs of
state he will make prominent, are mat
tiers about which Washington CORE
spondents are now sending out sur
misses. For the most part they take
their cue from the speeches the pres
ident made in his uncompleted tour
of the country-unfinished, thanks to
the high notion of a Massachusetts
trolley driver about relative rights of
way-and which vas cut short before
he passed out of the region where
trusts were the leading feature into
the n where they and their crutch,
the tariff, are the chief matters of
interest. Had the president got into
this region and filled his lungs with
this freedom inspiring air, he and the
correspondents would be reversing the
order of Importance in which they
guess the president will arrange his
topics.
Very likely they are correct in fore !
casting the trusts as being given lead
ing place in the message. There are
some conditions that give this proba-
bility. There is nothing that stirs to
forceful and determined action a man
of the presidents temperament like
an attempt to COW him; to scare him
with threats, even when proposed ac-
ton is wrong; much less will such tao.
tics work when the man knows he is
right. The ~mergerites learned this
when their delegations went down to
protest against the merger suit. The
coal operators found him a man who
did not "scare worth a cent" 1t is
more than suspected that the strin-
gency in Wall street, that brought
Secretary Shaw down off his high
horse and onto his knees, was intend
ed to convey to the president both a
perception of the underwriters power
and of what might betide the country
if he pushed their enterprises hard.
Recently hints have been thrown out
in Washington, SO says the CORE
the shake-up in Wall street last week,
was a warning that if he persisted in
pushing the trust question, he might
have a panic charged up to him as
that of '93 was to Cleveland.
1t is said that he will take the at
torney generals view Of plenary pow
er in congress under the constitution
to enact sufficing and efficient legis-
lation. Senator Nelson, in an inter
view, expresses the same regret that
the Dispatch expressed, that Mr.. Knox
did not indicate how the latent power
could be used. 1t would seem as If
the precedent of the bank tax act
would readily occur to any states
man, however, and that he would find
in that v~indicated use of power OPP
p%ortunity to compel the ~reorganiza-
ton, under a national incorporating
act, of every corporation in the coun-
Try trading beyond the borders of the
state. 1t throws suspicion on the
sincerity of any legislator who. with
chat source Of power open, says that
the country must wait the adoption
of an amendment to the constitution.
Knox cleared away that mist.
