The High Price of Beef.

 perity prices of everything advance, because the general public are able to purchase supplies literally and the demand exceeds the supply. The people of Imperial are interested in the price of beef, for beef cattle will soon become one of our principal products. On this subject the Irri- gation Age says:
 "1here is hardly any one of mode rate means who has not felt, in a slight degree, at least, the hardship entailed by the high price of provis- ions. An increase in the price of any necessity works the greatest hardship on the poor, and in view of the almost prohibitive price of meat at the present time, the government inquiry now being made regarding the alleged beef trust will be hailed with joy by those who are not vege- tarians. Ten years ago there was an investigation to discover why the price of cattle was so low. Now, it is claimed live stock received at the six principal markets during the last six months has netted the farmer from forty to fifty million dollars more in money than last year during the same period. The packers claim that the price of cattle on noof is higher than it has been for twenty years, the greatest advance having taken place in the past few weeks. They further claim that the supply has diminished 11a per cent. in num- Der and per cent. in weight while the consumptive demand is greater than ever before. The people of the South,' says the Chicago Tribune, rel ative to the subject, have been edu- cated in the use of fresh meat, and whereas formerly they lived mainly upon hog and hominy,' they now have beef. The big packing-houses in Chicago have established branches all over the South where formerly they had none. The export trade, until quite lately has been larger than ever before. The failure of the corn crop put a good many farmers out of business as far as cattle rais- ing is concerned. There are as many cattle in the country, but not as many in marketable condition.'
 Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, in a recent interview on this subject, said:
 "'I am not an expert on the trust question, but I do claim to know something about the raising and sell ing of beef. Others may talk about the beef combine as much as they like, but to me the raise in the price of beef is very easily explained. It is due almost wholly to short corn crop last year and great demand for beef caused by the prosperity of the people of the United States. The high price of corn has made it nee essary for Western cattle feeders to send to the South for cottonseed meal to feed their stock. There is great demand for cattle, and that means a great demand for beef. The people of the United States are eat ing more beef now than they ever did before in their history. Ths is because they are making money and spend it.
 "' Under such circumstances it is only natural that the price of beef should advance. Cattle and meat, like all other commodities, have to follow the laws of supply and de- mand.'

FOREIGN IMMIGRANTS
Ninety Thousand Foreigners Came to America During the
 Month of June.

During the month of June 90,- 900 foreigners came to this coun- try and are to learn the lesson of republican government by unlearn ing he political bias inherited through thousand of years of sub- mission to kingly authority. A million per year of alieu political pupils would seem to be enough to tax our ability to assimilate in- congruous political elements. But this is not all, we are now d world power out for career of con- quest. Already we have in the meshes of our grab net about ten millions of people, simi-barbar- ians and of divers races, which we must make room for in our body polite. These conditions call for great armles and navies, which must be maintained by the industrious taxpayers of the country. Great standing armies are menace to liberty, and have Caused the downfall of every de- funct republic of which we have T history. The arts of peace in this country are to be made sub- seryient to the bloody art of war. and at the present rate of pro- gross it will not be many years until military garrisons will awe the people into submission, and all because the people refused to see the danger until 1t was too late to avert it. Foreign immi- grants usually make excellent cit- izens. They are industrious and thrifty, and promptly pay their taxes and their debts eff they con- tract any). But we cannot ex- pect that they will suddenly change their ideas If government upon touching our sol, and are certain to be an importan. factor in the political changes that are now in progress in this country. No other nation in modern times has had similar problem tb solve--how 10 assimilate n pow erful foreign influx. In stead of the conquest of far away islands, that cost our tax payers fur more than they are worth, had we not better improve our manner of governing the people We already have?

A THOUGHTFUL CABMAN.
Returned Part of FaYs to Passengsi
 Who Had Missed Her Train.

Some doubt being prevalent in New York as to whether csbmen have or dinary human feeling towards patrons who are forced by pride or necessity, now and then to call upon their serv- ices, this incident iS thought worthy of record: Last summer young woman, wearing deep mourning, beckoned downtown cabman to take her to the Long Branch boat. It was arranged that he would do it for 50 cents. They arrived at the wharf just after the gang-plank had been pulled in. She may have pushed her veil up with the hand which carried her handkerchief; anyway, she made some sign, this girl in the dress of grief, which seemed 10 betoken addi- tional trouble. She handed dollar bill to the driver, and turned away. He called to her: You've got some change coming, miss" and passed down some silver. Presently, when she looked at it, she found that he had returned to her three silver quar- terS.-N. Y. Post.

President Roosevelt there being no vice president-he would be succeeded by the secretary of state, Hon. John Hay.
 In an act passed by the forty first congress it is provided that in the event of the removal, death, resignation or inability of both the president and the vice president, the secretary of state shall act as president until the disability of the president or vice president Is re- moved, or a president is elected. If there be no secretary of state, then the secretary of the treasury will act; the succession running through the cabinet in this order: secretary of war, attorney gene raj, postmaster general, secretary of the navy, secretary of Lhe in- terior and secretary of agriculture the order being the same as that of the creation of the departments.

Why the Kaiser Is Uncrownsd.

Probably few people out of Eng land regard with more interest the proceedings in regard to the kings coronation than his imperial nephew at Berlin, and all the more so that, as emperor, he is still uncrowned, as were his father and grandfather be- fore him. The reason why is some- thing of a mystery, but the explana- tion most generally accepted is that the original imperial crown of the German emperor is in the hands of Austria, and that she shows no dis position to allow it to leave Vienna.

moment, and it's help can be rem dered in one or all of three ways:
 1. It can increase its deposits in national banks. The sum of $28, ,000,0 is at hand for thls purpose, without encrhachmeht upon the $50, 100000 "available cash" which the treasury mast theoretically maintain as d work ing balance.
 , It can buy bonds, and thus put more money into circu.a- tion.
 3 It can authorize all increase of national bank notes up to and inclusive of the premium value of the bonds deposited to secure cir culation.
 Az there has heen no occasion for resort to any of these exped- tents, treasury officials are now hopeful that the little furry of demand for crop and speculation money may be easily weathered.
 Notwithstanding the fears of treasury officials that on account of the repeal of the war taxes and the heavy appropriation by con gress they might soon De conf ont ed with d deficit, no such thing Is in sight now. Although the ex- pendltures so far this year have exceeded the receipts ny nearly sl0, ,000, ,000, the outlook now is favorable that by the end of the fiscal year all this will have been regained. The receipts from GUS toms duiles during the six weeks of the current fiscal year have ex- ceeded those of the corresponding six weeks os last year by more than $9,000.000. Last year they were s33 1000, ,000, thIs year $39,- 000,000. This increase is alto gether unexpected. The officials of the treasury cannot account tor it, nor can they do more than guess how long it will continue. All calculations have been upset. The figures showing big deficlt for the yeyr have been laid aside.
 Those charged with the duty of reckoning how the balance sheet will stand have given up in des- pair. Customs receipts is not the only thing that worries them. They are not sure yet whether the $l0,0O0,000 Panama canal money will have to be spent, nor the money for the Danish West Indies. There Is no official opin- lon whether there will he sur plus or deficit next June. The less by repeal of war taxes will amount to $65 1000, ,000. If the customs receipts continue at the present rate this will be recouped, and instead of deficit there may be another surplus.-Chicago Re- cord Herald.

UNCLE SAM IS LIBERAL
f1as Over a Hundred rIiIliOn Dol lars Loaned to Banks in
 This Country.

Uncle Sam is the greatest mon- ey-lender in the country. If 1t were not for his enormous loans through bank depositaries the business men of the United States would find it impossible to get hold of enough money 10 carry on their affairs.
 The government has on deposit with the various banks today the snug sum of $128,000, 900. This Is virtually money lent to the busi- ness interests of the country. It Is money which the government has collected in tue way of taxes, hut, having no immediate need for it, is willing to leave 1t in the hands of the people for use. As long as the government has sur plus and can leave funds in the banks it will do so. Treasury tficidls, as we'll as business men, are dreading the possibility that tue government revenues will soon fall below expenditures. leading inevitably to a contraction of the currency.
 During the last five years there bas been wonderful increase in the amount of government money in national bank Repositories. In 1897 only sixty-five banks were designated as such depositaries, and the amount of money placed with them waS only $l6, ,000, 900. Now there are 300 bank deposi- tarics and they have an aggregate of SIPS, 100000 of govei nment money Ill their DO session. These depositaries are in every State aud territory except Alaska.
 There is great rivalry among hanks throughout the country for the privilege of handling govern cntdeposits. Political influence of all sorts Is brought to bear to secure the much-coveted "dcsig- nation."
 The sum which Uncle Sam now has on deposit with the 800 desig- mated banks is the greatest in the history of the country, excepting that in 1879, during the refunding operations, when Secretary Sher. man had $279, 100000 of govern meut money in the nands of the banks which were aiding him in carrying out his measures.
 Although there are signs of Il tight" money market iu New York-low reserves, big loans and demands for currency from the interior-the treasury department has not Us yet received any calls for help. It stands ready to ga to tue ald of the situation at any
