I,Es ABOUT THE e

A union labor organ has recently
published a manifesto regarding con-
ditions in the west that is evciting wide
in the press of the western
states. In the interests of laboring
men this organ has called attention
to the glittering falseties regarding
the golden opportunities in the west
contained in the advertising literature
circulated by railway land offices and
real estate companies. The charge
is there made that there is no golden
opportunity in the west for men who
come without money to invest, h a
thousands Of idle men are now seeking
employment and that the poor man OF
the eastern states had better remain
where he is than to seek a fortune
of high wages in the west.
The manifesto was evidently issued
in the interests of the laboring men of
the west who, very naturally, do not
welcome competition for their jobs
ana 1T is u Ills dppaiSAe
motive that the western press con
dennis the efforts of a union organ
10 check the development of the u
try in which it lives, yet there is un-
doubtedly a great deal of truth in what
it says. While no n will believe
for a moment that there is any con-
siderable number of idle men in the
west, the fact remains that the mali
who seeks his fortune in that coun-
try without a dollar to invest is
doomed to many disappointments,
Wages are very little higher than in
the we'll settled states and the cost
of living is far out of proportions
Many and many a family will be en-
ticed to hunger and deprivation on the
arid farms Of the west by the glitter
ing pages of railroad land pamphlets
It Is true, as the union organ says
that there is very little good land left
in the west for homestead entry and
unless a man has money with which
to either irrigate or stock his farm
with cattle he will encounter many
acknowledgements. There is altogether
too much booming done for the good OF
the poor man who must seek EN-.
ployment for his days labor.

Hired Girls in Chile.
New York Tribune

Senorita Carolina Huldobro of Chile,
last week gave a lecture in Boston or
the women of her country. Her ac-
is interesting.
"There are two kinds of cooks" she
said. Advertisements read: "A cook
with bed inside or Wanted, a cook
with bed outside The latter sort of
cook can always be had. Domestics
prefer the bed outside because a cook
who does not sleep In the house has
more liberty. She does not begin quite
so early in the morning, her mistress
can not get quite SO much work out of
her, and she can steal a little more: yet
her services, in the main, are s%atisfac-
tory. After dinner every evening the
book comes for orders as to the next
days meals. Even If unable to read she
will remember every item of an elab-
crate menu. She is given q certain
amount of money to buy the provisions,
for everything is bought in small guam
tities-just enough for one day. The
cook will only cook; she will o wash
the dessert dishes, for that belongs to
the table girls work; the table girl will
not Clean tne Knives, lOT lndl belongs
to the boots The washing is all done
out, and the clothes are brought back
in from three days to five weeks.
'The laundress has most winning
ways. and often brings her employer
lowers and candy, but she asks for a
dollar for soap for each washing, and
has to be closely watched. Every SER
want who lives in the house brings her
own bed and furniture. A girl from the
country will arrive with only q hin
mattress and one poor coverlet, and
will leave at the end of three or four
wears with a CARLOAD of goods that she
has accumulated. When several SER
wants are leaving at once, with their
bedding n furniture, it looks as If the
whole family were moving out.
'.The women of Chile are not of
mixed race. They are pure Spanish,
and of the fines blood of Spain. They
speak Castilian Spanish. and have the

German Scientist Plans to Fight Tu-
berculosis.
Berlin, May 2.-Advance sheets OF
Prof. Behring's forthcoming book on
tuberculosis in cattle yesterday are
available here. From them 1t is seen
that in his book h professor details
the results of six years Investigations
at Marburg, where he was assisted by
Drs. Rupert and Roemer.
Prof. Behring affirms that tubercuio-
sis in man and cattle is propagated by
identical bacilli, and that the seeming
differences between the human and
cattle bacilli to accommodate them-
selves to the organism in which they
live.
The writer explains the process by
which he reaches the conclusion that,
chemically and physiologically. the tue
bercle bacilli in a man and cattle are OF
the same species.
Prof. Behring says he has success
fully infected cattle with virus from
human beings, producing thereby fatal
animal tuberculosis. He also says he
has discovered a method to render cat
tie immune against tuberculosis, which
is done by vaccinating the cattle when
they are young.
This he declares to be his greatest
discovery, and says the method is IN
use On farms at Marburg. He alluded
to his method of ~inoculating cattle in
his speech at Stockholm, hen he was
warded one of the Nobel prizes.

THE CONSUMER WILL CONTROL.

The falling off of the demand for beef
seems not only to have had its effect OF
the packers, who are reducing the
number of men employed by them. but
appears to have brought dismay to the
feeders as well. AT Chicago markets
on last Thursday the surplus of cattle
left over from the days sales was the
greatest in twenty years. and prices
heavy shipments We're due to the desire
of the cattle feeders to get their stock
on the market during the high prices
and the drop in price was forced by the
packers, who refused to buy.
Most of this falling off in demand for
the packers product is traceable to the
practically concerted action of consum-
ers along the lines suggested and urged
by the newspapers. People have re-
fused to buy beef and have fallen back
on the cereal foods. There has been a
decided and most noticeable decrease
in the sale of beef from the block, and
of course a corresponding dullness at
the packing houses. Packers estimate
that the decrease already noted would
reduc the sales Of the beef trust at
least $50, 0o0.o 900 annually.
1t would appear from this that the
people hold the key to the situation in
their own hands and that the price of
beef must be and is subject to the law
of supply and demand. If the trust has
been responsible for the high prices it
has overreached itself and in an at
tempt to feather its own nest has
taught the consumer a valuable les
son. Il the demand continues to fall off
The oversupply will settle the problem
of price. Without my doubt the con-
sumner has the final decision and in
these days, when nearly every home
receives it's daily newspaper, concerted
action by individual is rem
aered easy and even probable.

A DEAL IN PORK.

Gr%eeneville, Tenn, and Batesville and
Harrison, Ark, are three southern vii
lagos for which the latest census report
records figures of populations of 1874.
1927 and 1851 in the order given above.
Compared with the ensus of 1890 the
populations of these towns have in
creased In ten years from 5 to 10 per
cent, the greatest increase being that
OF Batesville, which added 173 persons
to it's census by birth and fmmigra-
ton. Thus it will be seen that the past
held no prediction pointing to Bates
vile, Harrison or Greeneville as future
figures al hand, 1t might be surmised
that these were typical Arkansas and
Tennessee county seat towns, strong in
country lawyers, negroes and the in
Gigenous raZor-back.
1t is consequently somewhat aston
fishing to find in the public buildings
bill an appropriation Of 100000 for
Greeneville, $4,000 for Harrison and
$50, 900 for B~atesville. In cold figures
it allows for every soulin Greeneville an
expenditure of $3.50 for a postofice.
This would, if applied to Marshalltown.
give this city a building that would cost
in round numbers 100000 to erect. APP
piled to New York City, the appropria-
ton required would be $1s6, 100000

with a combined population of 5,752,

When the Fish Are Bitln..

Along about this time of year, back
there in Bowersville,
The purtiest crab apple tree is bloomin.
on the hill;
The dandylions fairly grin along the
little street,
An early locus blossoms Is a-smeii1n'
mighty sweet,
An when noon comes the little town IS
peaceful like an still.
An then the fish is bitin' just below
the old -four mill.
AS soon as the April gets a start an,
shows what she a do
The rosebuds down in Bowersytl1e IS
smilin' thru the dew;
The lilac bushes seem to say they wish
that it was Juneii
An then it gets so quiet like an peace
full just at noon
You cam hear nothin' but the bees
an everything's so still
An then the fish is bitin' just below the
the old flour mill.
There's johnny-jump-ups in the grass
so pertlike and SO blue,
in the wind just like they're
sayin' "Howdy do"
An then the mornin' glories creep up
each veranda post.
AS if they tried to see which one could
climb and bloom the most.
I guess there amt nc other spring !
that at Bowersville-
An then the fish is bitin' just below
the old flour mill.
Below the old Hour mill the crick goes
Iazyin' along,
With here an there a ripple, like q bro
ken bit of song
A broker bit of song that seems to echo
in the trees,
Except when some woodpecker inter-
rupts 1t, just to tease.
You're mighty glad to loaf an sniff the
crab blooms on the hill
An then the fish is bitin' just below
the old -four mill.

a Visit to a Saint Factory.

What lends a peculiar interest to a
visit to such a factory is the curious
suggestion Of humor which in ones
conversation with the workmen n
employees, comes to relieve the deep
sense of awe and reverence winch at
all times weighs upon me.
I remember that having contemplate
ed, not without a painful feeling In my
breast, the most lamentable figure OF an
old mar in monks attire, whose hands
were pierced, whose side was pierced,
and from whose furrowed brow large
drops of blood were trickling down, l
asked a passing workman to tell me
whom the statue represented. And he
called to a fellow-workman: "Who is
that old gent up there?" It was st.
Francis d'Assisi. The painful feeling
was for a while dispelled. This was
but a figure after all, an article of
trade. And so also, when one hears the
clerks calling thru the telephones:
when is that ST. Maurice coming
DOWN." Five ST. Anthonys, with their
pigs, wanted at once" And so on. There
is not a vestige of irreverence in these
remarks, but, as l say, they are not
without a most welcome suggestion Of
humor.
For, indeed, the terrible realism of
many of these statues must impress
even the most Indifferent. 1 could not
refrain from asking the maker of saints
why he allowed his artists to carry the
horrible to such extremes. Here was a
st. Jean de Dieu succoring a leper, on
whose body the modeler had not omit
ted one of the horrid signs of that most
foul of maladies. Here was a writing
st. Sebastian streaming with blood.
Here a chained woman in the flames of
|purgatory extended her anguished
hands.
I'VE export very largely to South
America" said Monsieur Pacheau, land
1t is necessary that, to impress the i'm
aginations of the people there-who
are Indifferent, as a rule, to suffering
we should strike hard. Yet in none Of
our figures Is truth surpassed. That
'leper is studied from life. Those horrid
bruises We're copied from a corpse.

OUR PRODUCTION OF MINERAL.

Estimates of the mineral products
of the United States, which have
reached the treasury bureau of t
~tistics, indicate that they will exceed
in nearly every particular those of n
preceding year, but exceed in nearly
every case those of every other
try. In gold, in silver, in iron, in steel,
in copper in coal and in mineral oil
the products of the United States in
1901 exceed those of any other country,
and in every instance except possibly
copper surpass her own record In any
preceding year. The estimates of gold
and silver production are from the
mint buerau and those of pig iron,
copper, coal and mineral oil from the
Engineering and Mining Journal.
These estimates put the the gold pro-
duction Of 1901 at $sO,21S, 500, against
$7s,171,O 900 in 1900, which was the high
est record in gold production that the
United States has even made. They
put the silver production of 1901 at
SO, 653,7SS ounces. against 57,647,0O0
ounces in 1900. The pig iron produc-
ton is estimated at 15,S00,00O long
tons, against 13,7s9,242 long tons in
1900, in which year the figures exceed
ed those of any preceding year. The
coal production is estimated at 267,-
$50, 600 long tons, against 240,965,917
long tons in 1900, the year Of highest
production HERETOFORE. OF petroleum
the production is estimated at &C mil
lion barrels, or 2,772 million gallons,
against 2,661,233,56s gallons in 1900,
the year of largest production here
tofore.
That these figures clearly put the
United States In the lead in the pro-
duction Of all these articles is shown
by a comparison Of the 1900 figures of
production Of the United States with
those of other countries. The London
Daily Mail Yearbook puts the pig
iron output of 1900 at: United States,
49, S9 ,242 tons; United Kingdom, s.
90s,57O tons; Germany. s,494.s52 tons;
Russia, 2,s21.0oo tons; France, $685.
"a tons. With the 1900 figures for the
United States 1890, 900 n there can
be no question that the United States
maintains the lead in iron production.
That the coal output Of the United
States for 1901 will surpass that of any
other country is evident from a state
don Daily Mail Year Book, which
states that the United States has for
the last two years outstripped us as a
coal producing country. In 1900 the
United States total output was 245,-
1872, 900 (metric) tons; that Of the
United Kingdom, 225,1S1,o00 tons; Ger
many, 100, 225,O 900 tons; France, 32.577.-
900 tons; and Belgium. 23,352,000 tons"
This statement, coupled with the fact
that the figures Of the United States
production in 1901 exceed by ~ million
IONS those of 1900, make it apparent
that the United States was in 1901
clearly in the lead in the worlds coal
production.
AS to the precious metals the esti-
mate of the mint bureau is that the
United States product of both gold and
silver exceeds in 1901 that of any other
country.

Now that the trust has raised the

Express, eastern papers are adyocat-
ing the removal of the tariff on cattle.
Perhaps the east can now understand
why the west is in favor Of a revision
of the tariff on goods manufactured or
controlled by trusts"
The Spirit Lake Beacon notes that
while 'the newspapers have com
mented a great deal on General Fun
ston's recent too free expression Of his
opinions on the Philippine situation
and his consequent muzzling by the
president, but few Of them criticise
Funston's sentiment"

charges that more than half the trou-
BILE we have had in the Philippines has
been due to the democratic party. 1t is
treason in it's essence" say the Re-

to be a virtue, and it is time that the
mask of hypocrisy was torn from the
faces of these men who put party adj
vantage before patriotism"
