According 10 the report for 1901 Just pub

Wheat Fed 10 Cauie-.BaIsnoc R%ations.'

From The NEBRASKA state Journal.
The Kansas mlllers ard elevator men have been
worrying all winter over the limited supplies OF
wheat coming into market. They have been com
forting themselves with the theory that the farm
es were holding II back for better prices. and that
a steady stream OF gram would begin rolling In
just as soon as the farmers felt co rialn OF a new
crop But a stockman gives IL as his opinion
that the wheat has been fed TO stock and will reach
the packing house markets In due time, instead
OF the mills and elevators.
Cheap wheat has been found an excellent sub
stitute for the corn crop. which proved so complete
a failure. The larger ranches have Installed
grinding machinery 10 facilitate the preparation OF
what Is known as the balance rations." These
stockmen have introduced scientific methods IN
feeding and caring for the cattle, and they are
doing so well that they have already forgotten the
famous drought OF 1901. This feeding OF wheat
has been so general that ONE authorities are es
tmnting that the total amount used In this way In
Kansas alone will reach 5000, 900 bushels In q single
season.
The abundance OF the wheat crop thus compen-
safes for the failure In corn. and the change in
feeding methods eaualizes prices and keeps both
grains from going 10 unpleasant extremes.

Mckinley.

As an orator and literary artist, Mr..
JOHN HAY reached his highest plane
Of achievement in the address at the
memorial session Of Congress. Three
months ago at the Chamber of Com
merce banquet his brief incidental trib-
ute to the greatness Of McKrNLEY's
character touched the heart Of the
nation. At that time Mr.. HAY unoon-
s~ciously indicated himself as the nan of
all men TO pronounce the eulogy at the
historic ceremonial Of yesterday. The
universal recognition Of the Secretary
Of States preeminent fitness for that
honor has been quite independent of
the circumstance Of his official station.
In the Grafton before the Senate and
the House of Representatives Mr.. HAY
fulfilled all the expectations based on
his previous performances. His SYM
pathetic conception of the significance
of President MCKINLEY's life and death
Is presented in beautiful rhetorical
form, wherein the dignity and sobriety
and melody of phrase impress the nearer
like the music of a requiem.
This is genuine art; and in this case
# has shaped the utterances Of philo-
sophical insight. adequate knowledge
and finely discriminative appreciation.
1t has been Mr.. HAYS lot to be closely
associated with two American Presidents
whose great careers have ended in
tragedy. History will gain if the defini-
tive biography of WILLIAM MCKINLEY
shall in course of time be written by
the same hand that gave il the life of
ABRAHAM LINCOLN. We sincerely hope
that the purpose TO perform this task OF
love and duty is already fixed in Secre-
tary HAYS mind.

PLEAD IRELAND'S CAUSE.

An audience which filed the hall at st.
Joseph's Parochial School on Washington
place TO the doors turned out last night
20 hear William II. X. Redmond, NJ. P,
and Joseph Devlin. the Irish ENJOYS, talk
on the freedom OF Ireland from landlordism
and unjust government. The meeting
was held under the direction of the John
Mitchell branch of the United Irish League.
Anthony J. Barrett, President of the
branch, said that the meeting had been
called in the cause Of liberty. He declared
that the spirit OF liberty has never been
crushed out by oppression In Ireland, and
II Great Britain were not afraid Of that
country and for that reason had not pro-
hibited the possession Of arms there Ire
and would declare war to-day and fight
for her liberty.
Mr.. Redmond said that the United Irish
League had done so much that Lord Sails
bury feared il. and had styled IL the most
dangerous organization that Great Britain
has ever seen. II the Irish tried to fight
for freedom by force of arms, he said,
they would be slaughtered as Great Britain
always slaughters those who fight when
not properly equipped. Mr.. Redmond
said that II the laws OF lreland were in
hicted upon England she would have a
civil war on her hands within three weeks.
Mr.. Devlin declared that IL was through
the efforts OF the United Irish League that
the Irish Members Of Parliament are banded
together to balk the party Of the Govern
ment until justice is lone 10 Ireland.

Socialist Lauds Trusts.


kTOW we 81 fdu AS4OOt'
The Rev. David Morgan delivered an address yes
terday afternoon before the Socialists club on
the subject OF Trusts. Mr.. Morgnn's address
was something OF a surprise 10 a great many mem
bers OF the club. for he failed 10 condemn them.
He said:
These trusts are Q good thing for the country.
and have resulted In making this the greatest
commercial nation in tho world. The Trust simply
means the maximum production az the minimum
expense. This enables the country TO take us place
at the head OF all the nations OF the earth, for II
can produce the goods needed al a lower expense
then can the other countries of the world.
1T Is folly for us 10 talk OF doing away with the
trust. One might as well say to the city: DO sway
with the electric car and use the mule ags'n;' or
10 the farmer: Throw away your sefelnder and
get out the old cradle Trust Is but the idea OF
concentration in It's highest and most practical
sense.

and dissipation lessened in no way the
! popular idolizing OF men OF the highest
distinction In our official life, and such
exhibitions were rather usual than
extraordinary among them. In proof
Of this it is only necessary to run through
the earlier history OF this Republic.
Political criticism on grounds of moral
delinquency or offence Is far closer and
sharper than il used to be.
In all this there is no indication OF
9 n wave Of moral d~epravity;' 1t seems
rather to be a a of moral cleanliness
that is sweeping over us. But, unques-
tionably, there Is now an influence which
tends toward social decadence. and it
proceeds from the loss OF idealism or
from a spirit in the new generation which
makes or pretends to make poetic ideal
ism n butt of ridicule and an evidence Of
bubbling q freshness
Not long ago, at one of our play
houses where the prices Of admission
are smaller than those at the run of the
more considerable theatres-though fully
as large as those prevailing at the best
houses twenty-five years ago" Romeo
and Juliet was presented and very
creditably; but it wa surprising TO
find that the most romantic love pas
sages, the most poetic expressions Of
the passion Of love, we're received in
variably with filters and giggles by
very many Of the young women Of the
crowded audiences. They seemed to
treat them as guf.' to have no respon-
sive sentiment in their hearts, to be
beyond the reach of any appeal TO ideal
ism. This proclamation of poetic SEN
timent. too, was not by humble working
girls, for they would have been aroused
and upliGted by it's romance, but by young
women forthe most part, apparently, who
came from at least relatively well-to-do
homes and were supported by them.
The incident is a symptom of what
we e in suggesting that society in
our time is suffering from the effects Of
a " wave which il sweeping away the
idealism which is the salt that savors
society and preserves it from the degra-
dation of sordid materialism.

is Peace in south Africa within
SlChto

Those who wish well 10 the Beers
have hoped that terms might be offered
then less unacceptable than the de-
mand for unconditional surrender.
There is some reason to believe that
the hope may be gratiied. il we can
trust the report that Lord KITCHENER
has been recalled and will leave Cape
Town early in April. 1t is scarcely
credible that so capable a commander
would be withdrawn against his will
from Il scene of active operation, and
he cannot want TO leave South Africa
unless he has ground for thinking that
the war is practically at an end. Such
a conclusion can only be based on the
knowledge that conciliatory overtures
have been made, and that they are
likely to be accepted.
The umo Of Lord KITCHENEH's
speedy return, coupled with the natural
desire of King EDWARD VII. to see
his coronation preceded by the at
tainment of peace, lends color t o an
other report, also current in London,
that, after the rejection of the Dutch
tlti vi lltuldllOU, bOIu
was instructed to enter into communi-
cation with Gen. BoTHA, with a view
20 the arrangement Of a peace on the
lines suggested by Lord RosEBERY
That is to say, while the Boer demand
for independence il, of course, rejected
and England insists that the South
African Republic and the Orange Free
State shall be transformed into a single
crown colony, concessions which under
the circumstances may be described
as liberal, are proposed to the Boer COM
manders in the field. 1t is said to be
promised, for instance, that in the ap-
pointive council Of the new crown COL
ony, Beers shall figure as well as Eng
lishmen, and, although the latter will
at first preponderate, the former will,
ultimately, have an equal number Of
seats. II is further stipulated, we are
told, that, when the country shall have
become definitely paciied, 1t shall pass
from the status Of a crown colony to
that Of a self-governing Common
wealth, like Natal.
Touching other points, also, the oonoes-
SONS are alleged 70 be generous. Thus
from the amnesty TO be granted to all
Boer combatants are TO be excluded
only a few men who are accused OF
numbering prisoners and natives. We
assume that the citizens OF Cape Colony
are no longer to be excepted from the
beneficiaries Of amnesty, for il they
are, the negotiations will come TO naught.
OF the Beers already exiled, we are as
sured that all will be brought back to
South Africa, an assurance that seems

Magistrate Dismisses Charges Against Him
OF Raising stock Certificate.

The scheme Of Lieut. Gov. Woodruff
and Col. Michael j. Dady TO cause the
arrest and the indictment Of Bert Raiss
on the charge of raising a certificate OF
M X. and T. stock from 5 to 500 shares
was knocked nut by City Magistrate Tighe's
decision In h Butler street police court
In Brooklyn yesterday that there were no
grounds on which TO issue a warrant.
II was Mr.. Reiss, the receiver OF the
John Good Cordage Company, who made
the famous charges against Sheriff Guden
and Col. Dady. When District Attorney
Clarke was In Albany q week ago he had
an interview with Lieut.. -Gov. Woodruff
and Col. Dady concerning Mr.. Reiss, and
on his return to Brooklyn he began pro-
ceedings against Reiss.
Joseph White. Secretary OF the Hamilton
Trust Company, testified yesterday that on
Jan. ~, 1901. Mr.. Reiss negotiated a loan
for $4,000, Offering as collateral 500 shares
Of the NJ. X. and T.. stock. which at that
time were worth t2l,O00 After the loan
had been made, Mr.. White t~elephoned
to the office of tho railroad company and
learned that no 5OO-share certificate Of the
company's stock had ever been issued.
Mr.. White Immediately notified Mr..
Reiss, who went at once to the office OF the
Hamilton Trust Company, returned the
OiicSh III <lo,opO anu TtCtlNtu TIC idiSth
certificate. Under cross-examination, Mr..
White said that neither he nor the trust
company had any desire to charge Mr..
Reiss with any criminal act or intent.
Reiss testified that the 5O0-share GER
tifcate had been given to him by John
X. Bacon. to whom he had been introduced
by Thomas O.. Mellefont, European agent
for the John Good Cordage Company.
Bacon had some NJ, X. and 4. stock and
Reiss bought five shares himself, which
he later gave to Bacon. Subsequently,
Bacon bought the 5O0-share certificate
and asked Reiss to raise SO 900 Of IL for
him.
Reiss said he had not seen Bacon since.
Mellefont died in st. Nincent's Hospital
last year, but before his death, Reiss tes-
tilted, he was visited by Bacon, who ex-
pressed regret over the stock certificate
transaction and promised to make amends.
Lawyer Hirsh testified that Reiss had
RETAINED from making disclosures under
MIR. Hirsh's advice, the object being 10
secure a trace of Bacon.
District Attorney Clarke OF Kings county
has written a letter to Jerry A. Weinberg,
counsel for Michael j. Lady, saying that
there are now no indict ments pending
against Mr.. Dady. Mr.. Clarke says that
the records of his Office show that Mr..
Dady was jointly indicted with George
G. Bennett, John W. Flaherty and Peter
W. Milne for conspiracy, and that there
were four other indictments Of a kindred
nature against Messrs. Dady, Flaherty
and Bennett. These indictments were
nolled, he says, one on Dec. "a, 1879. and
the others on March "a, 1881.
