Omaha, Oct. 14.-Farmers and
stockmen of the west have been
robbed of millions of dollars in the
past six weeks by the meat trust, and
consumers in the east and south have
been robbed of still further millions

The big packers have, by their
agreements to refrain from bidding on
stock at the stock yards, beaten prices
down almost to the breaking point
and at the same time have raised the
prices on dressed meats to eastern con-
sumers until the prices paid are far
above what they were one year ago,
when the meat trust Is supposed to
have been formed.
The packing trust is paying to-day
40 per cent less for pork than one
year ago. while the retailers are pay

dressed pork than one year ago, max

The recent petition of the American
Authors Society for a reduction of postage
has brought on a discussion as to the
number of people engaged in writing for
the periodicals., or. one puts 1t who
made the figures, 23,0tD that write for the
maya zines" Others that may be said to have
some sort of idea of the facts think that
these figures are below rather than above
the mark. Large cities like New York.
small cities probably have more than
thousands" in proportion to size; villages
have still more, perhaps. who are steadily
at work contributing to the flood. 1t is
all rough guesswork, but of the vast num-
Der of people that are engaged in turning
out short stories, novels and poems there
can be no doubt. There is an old anecdotc
of the editor of magazine a few years ago
who said that his publication had already
accepted articles sufficient to run MANY
years without taking anything else of any
kind. 1t was estimated recently that $1,000
looks had been turned out by the book
publishing houses last year. Emerson
says. and truly. that 1T is necessary to re-
write everything, even history. every few

are more than up with the demand, ac-

BISMARCK THE MAN.
Some Intimate Glimpses of the Great
North-German Statesman.
Andrew d. White. in the Century.

Andrew D. White. in the Century.
My first glimpse of Bismarck was OBJ
tanned during journey through middle
Germany just after the war between Prus-
STA and Austria. Arriving at the Kissin-
gen junction, we found a crowd gathered
outside the barriers, and all gazing at
railway carriage about to be attached 10
our train. Looking toward this. 1 recog-
nized the face and form of the great North
German statesman.
He was then in the prime of life-sturdy,
hearty and happy in the presence of his
wife and children The people at the sta
ton evidently knew what was needed, COR
hardly had he arrived when walters APP
peared bearing salvers covered with huge
mugs of foaming beer; thereupon Bismarck
took two of the mugs and poured their
contents down his throat In immediate sue
cession, evidently with great gusto. A
burly peasant just back Of me-, unable
longer to restrain his admiration, solilo-
quized in a deep, slow, cultural. rever-
berating rumble: "A-a-aber er silent Sch
r-r-r gut aus" So 1T struck me also. The
waters of Kissingen had evidently restored
the great man. and he looked a Titan
ready for battle.
eleven years later, when, as chancellor of
the German empire, he received me as min
lister of the United States. On my entering
his work room he rose, and 1t seemed to me
L
ering save Abraham Lincoln. Beside Inn
were his two big black dogs. the Reichs-
hunde, and, as he put out his hand with
pleasant smile. they seemed to join kindly
in the welcome. The conversation ran, for
a time, upon commonplace subjects, but
finally struck matters of interest to both
our countries. There were then, as ever
since, a great number of troublesome ques-
lions between the two nations and .monS
them those relating to Germans who, hav-
ing gone over to the United States just at
the military age, had lived there merely
long enough to acquire citizenship, and
had then fastened back to Germany TO en-
joy the privileges of both countries with
out discharging the duties of either. These
persons had done great harm to the inter-
ests of bona fide commandments and
Bismarck evidently had an intense dislike
for them. This he showed then and after
ward: but his tendencies to severity tc-
ward them were tempered by the minister
of foreign affairs. Baron Won Bulow, one
of the most reasonable men in public bust
ness with whom have ever had TO do and
father of the present chancellor. who
greatly resembles him.
