An Emphatic Reminder.

During his campaign as Democratic
candidate for Congress from New
York city district, William r. Hearst
made use of an illustration that should
be- carefully studied by the admins
trative authorities at Washington. Mr..
Hearst said:
"There were 10000 good, brave
American soldiers at Santiago, and
Mr.. Roosevelt was one of them. Now,
| wish to cite the behavior of those
American soldiers at Santiago as an
example of what Americans do when
they mean business. OF those Ameri-
can soldiers, regiment after regiment
was armed with old-fashioned, out-of-
date, worthless Springfield muskets.
And opposed to them was regiment
after regiment of Spaniards armed
with the best and most destructive
weapons Of modern warfare - the
Mauser rifles. Did our boys hang
back and refuse to fghtP Did they
spend their time devising reasons
for not going into battle9 Did they
sit down and say they would wait
few years for a constitutional ship
ment of Mauser rifles from Washing
tonP
"They did not. They took their
fashioned, out-of-date Springfield
muskets, and they fought the Spaniards
with them, and they whipped the
Spaniards with them.
"Now, my friends, when your politi-
cal soldiers, your Representatives, your
Senators, and your President, are as
anxious to fight the trusts as our boys
at Sat tiago we're to fight the Spaniards,
they will take the legal and political
weapons they have at hand, and they
will fight the trusts with them, and
they will whip the trusts with them
and you will not haye to wait for a
constitutional amendment.
This is complete answer to those
Ewho claim that we must wait for con-
stitutional amendments to give US re-
| lief from trust exactions. While wait
ling for constitutional amendments the
trusts will be growing stronger and
more exacting, and fortifying their
position against any onslaught Of con
stitutional writ.
The way TO fight the trusts is te
make use OF the weapons now at oul
command, and keep on using them tt
the utmost while looking about fol
weapons that promise to be more effec

Arbitration by Agreement.

Voluntary arbitration as a peaceful
means OF determining controversies
between capital and labor seems now
to be considered, by the public gen.
orally, the best and most effective
method at command. The benefits
conferred on the passive party, the
public, by arbitration have been in
estimable, while, if the contestants
were to measure their gains, it would
be found, no doubt, that arbitration
has served their opposing purposes
with equity. Arbitration has brought
blessings 10 all parties concerned.
Compulsory arbitration, however, is
receding rather than advancing in
favor.
The formation of gigantic trusts in
the past five years or SO, whereby
monopolies have been established over
the necessities OF life, and immense
private corporations, possessed of un-
limited financial resources, have ac-
quired great power, has stimulated
the growth OF labor organizations. As
capital has gained in strength, labor
has grown in numbers. Meanwhile,
the public, standing between the two
forces, and sensitive to vibrations from
the power centers, has watched with
anxiety the outcome of the struggle.
As general proposition it must be
conceded that the interests of the third
party are, in nearly every controversy,
greater than those of the principals.
Whenever the issue is one of fact, or
conditions, it can be settled compara-
lively easily by evidence and testi-
mony that are readily available; but,
when the issue is one OF principle,
rather than of conditions, solution is
not so easy.
Opinions are diversified concerning
compulsory arbitration. Its advocates
are generally doctrinaires. President
Gomphers expressed his views Thurs
day on compulsory arbitration to the
American Federation Of Labor and
took rather pronunced attitude
against it. 1.-The men OF organized
labor want arbitration" be said, "but
only arbitration as a last resort after
conciliation has absolutely failed, and
then arbitration only, voluntarily en-
tered into by both the organized work
ers and employers, the award volun

The Atlanta Journal says: at is
serious indictment,of the sex to charge
that women are mainly responsible for
the slaughter OF birds OF plumage in
this country, but there is, We regret

When Z fashion requires such sacri-
fees for its qualification as this folly
OF bird ornameptation does 1t 10 time

form which kindness and good taste
should be able to accomplish. Would
IL not be fair 10 include In the indici-
ment the men who actually slay the
birds and the other men who place
them on the market and reap enormous
profits from the sales? And at the
same time this indictment is being
brought against the sex. would 1t not
be well to remember that the most
persistent effort to make this particu-
lar fashion unpopular has been carried
on by womenp 1t is not at all likely
that a law on this subject will eyer be
necessary, If, indeed, it could be en-
forced. 1t 10 safe to say that the
native tenderness of woman and the

Substitute for Sleep,

"A London paper says that the health
of people in fashionable society is be-
ing dangerously threatened by a new
drug which is popularity regarded as
substitute for sleep. Very discreet
ly it declines to name this dangerous
substance. When tea was first intro
duced, into Europe it was commended
for the same virtues, and it was be-
lieved that it would no longer be nee
essary to waste seven or eight hours
in sleep. But extended experience has
shown the disastrous results of cut
ting short the period of natural rest
and keeping awake by the help of tea,
and there is no reason to suppose that
chemists will ever be able to devise any
substitute for sleep which will not in
the long run bring nervous breakdown.

FlRE-PROOF RAILWAY CARS.
Something That the Prussian Govern
ment Officials Are Seeking
to Accomplish.

The managers of American rail
ways might, to their own great ad-
vantage as well as to that of their
patrons, take leaf out of the book
of the government railway control
of Prussia. These officials have or
dered that experiments should be
made looking toward the substitution
upon the 10000 miles of railroads
which they operate of noncombusti-
BILE cars for the more or less inf1am-
mable boxes in which the public are
now transported from place to place.
The steel trucks are, of course, al
ready comparatively safe from de-
struction by fire, but the construc-
ton of the superstructure of these
coaches has always been of such Il
nature as to be something of a men
ace to the travellers safety. The
walls and floors and general trim of
passenger cars have ordinarily been
constructed of woods that are pecu-
liarly infammable, and the use of oils
in their cleansing and decoration has
intensified the danger. The Prussian
experiments, in recognition of these
facts, are to be in the direction of
making floors and walls of materials
chemically treated so as to make
them noncombustible, and of the
construction of seats stuffed with
ire-proof cocoanut fiber and having
asbestos COVERINGS.
1t is an important step and in the
right direction; and in country like
our own, where there is so much
more travel and correspondingly
greater duty for conserving the Sc
curity of the, travelling public over
more than 100000 miles of roadbed,
it would seem as if it would be a
wise precedent for the railway au-
thorities to follow, says Harper's
Weekly. AS a rule, our railways are
exceptionally well managed, and the
traveller in the United States gets a
vast amount of comfort and con-
venience at a very slight personal
risk, but the further step toward the
making of fire-proof coaches would
serve to greatly reduce that risk to
minimum which would amount al
most to its total extinction.

Bird Talk.

Experts in bird talk are compare
lively rare, but the Smithsonian insti-
tuition in Washington contains one.
DR.. Nelson R. Wood has made = study
of the conversation of many kinds of
feathered creatures. DR.. Wood be-
lieyes that the best conversationalists
among birds are found in chickens and
turkeys, these bipeds exceeding In this
accomplishment even the parrot and
the crow. In an article in the Chicago
TEbune, DR.. Wood says: "As takers
parrots have much higher reputation
than chickens simply because they are
imitators. Barnyard fowls, though
such close companions OF man, do not
mimic his speech; but this does not
imply that they have not language
of their own. On the contrary their
language is rich, as any observsnt per-
son may perceive for himself in the
course of brief visit to quarters oc-
cupied by poultry. Turkeys possess
a range of speech hardly less wide
than chickens, but ducks are inferior
as takers. Parrots are born conver-
sationalists, and even in wild state
they do an immense deal of talking.
These monkeys of the feathered world
are mimice above all else, aud in their
native forests, where they fly about in
great focks, they are constantly imi'
tating the noises of the woods and the
voices of other creatures. But, oddly
enough, the best talking parrott, in
confinement, is not necessarily the best
imitator The so-called double yellow
head parrot of tropical America is
unrivaled for conversation, but as
mimic it is excelled by the gray Afri-
can bird with the red tail. DR.. Wood
says that a good talking crow is a
much better speaker than a parrot.
1t is not so versatile, the sounds it
utters being less widely differentiated,
but its speech is more humanlike. A
parrots voice has been compared to
that Of crazy person, whereas the re-
marks made by crow in the next
room are readily mistaken for those of
a human being. As imitators, how
ever. parrots are unsurpassed, and
their mimicry of laughing whistling,
chuckling and other sounds is often
marvellous"

The ear is found by M. Paul BONNER
to have a sense of altitude in addition
to that of hearing. 1t depends on
change of barometric pressure due to
altitude, and he has proven its exist
ence by his sensations during bal
loon ascent. 1t is believed to be more
highly developed, and more useful in
such animals as birds than in man.
A new French refrigerator consists
of closed metallic cylinders surrounded
by freezing mixture, being designed
for keeping fruit at a fixed tempera-
ture with restricted amount of air
and'an absence of light. Thawing must
be gradual. After two months peaches
were in perfect condition, and the
method is adapted for transporting
soft fruits, including bananas.
An Austrian material for preventing
the rising of dust on sweeping proves
to be cottonseed oil. In test at vi
emma it was found that floors oiled

without any whirling of the dust, and
the material was recommended for
all rooms receiving many persons, as
we'll as for laboratories, libraries and
other places to be kept scrupulously
