a fair contest on flooded grounds, and
it was won only after n hardfought

IN GOOD FAVOR,
Said German Chancellor Is on Good
Terms With Emperor.

Berlin, May 22.-There has been cansd-
cradle vague talk in the newspapers rep
lesenting the opposition lin the recent
debat in the Prussian House of Lords
that the position Of the German imperial
chancellor, Count Won Buelow, has been
shaken; hut so far as is ascertainable,
there is no foundation for it.
Several influential Agrarian leaders
criticised the chancellor in debate. but
absolutely nothing has occurred showing
that he had lost the favor of Emperor
William. Both the Emperor and Count
Won Buelow attended the wedding of
Count Eulcnburgs daughter. yesterday,
at Liebcnburg. Official interviews are oc-
curing as usual between the Emperor
and the chancellor.
The dea of making Gen. Budde. Prussian
minister of railroads, the successor of
Count Won BuelOw is regarded as ridicu-
lous his political experience being con-
sidered much too inadequate.

The Cost of Living.

After pondering over the figures
of the Department of Commerce
and Labor for about a month, the
Chicago Chronicle has discovered
Mr.. Wright's average man does
not exist, but that the standard
of living is better" than it was a
few years ago. Since the beef trust,
the coal trust, and the hundreds of
other trusts have advanced prices
to the top notch, the average .rnan
and woman have discovered that it
costs a great deal more to keep up
the standard of living, and that
present wages and trust prices are
an obstacle that every one feels.
Ali the sophistry of the Republican
statisticians cannot gloss over the
fact that the limited income cannot
be stretched to meet the demands
that are made upon it. High trust |
prices, fostered by the protective
tariff, may give a glamour of pros
perity to the protected industries,
but the many have to pay to the
few.

the location of the ten lost tribes
of Israel has been one OF the 1nys-
teries of history. That those ten
tribes are to reappear on the
world s stage, we have the author
ity Of holy writ. They are not per
manently lost, but will one day be
gathered together and the glory of
Israel re-established. This being
50, those lost tribes must today be
a separate and distinct people or
clan somewhere among the little
known races of Asia, and why not
the japanese? The writer is no an
thropologist, and is not qualified
to speak authoritatively on such
subjects, but that the aggressive,
shrewd, courageous Islanders are
even akin to the Chinese, Tibet
ans, or any of the other weak, be
sotted races of Asia. IS hard to be
lieve. So II IS by no means the
widest theory yet advanced as to
the identity Of those hidden Is
raelites to imagine they are the
men who are now being used as
the instruments of Almighty God to
avenge the long saies of hideous
wrongs the Russians have for ages
inflicted on His chosen people
Such a vengeance would be a ft
and ideal form of retribution and
such as, sooner or later, must come
to ali who persist IN the persecu-
ton of the weak and defenceless,
as have the Russians toward the
Tews.-CoFpus Christi Sun.
