There is possibility that if the four territories are
admitted as two States their six seven electoral
votes will go to the democratic party and this Is
contingency that the Republicans can not contemplate
with favor. That the omnibus bill prepared by the
Republican majority Of the subcommittee may pass

Is among the probabilities. That it viii be posi-

by any one The indications are that the statehood

An Americanized Russian has patented new
process Of embalmings which consists in casting q
solid block Of glass around the subject TO be preserv
ed through which the features and outlines Of the
body will be perfectly visible. AS 20 air can pos
sibly enter, the remains expected to last indef
nitely, till sope shock destroys the crystal block
which ncases them like so many flies in amber.
The inventor hopes that the relics Of great will
be preserved in this way remaining to aitertme in

which to place them, entrance to which will be
deemed honor like that Of burial in Westminster
or Santa CrOcc. The mechanical process by which
all this is to be made possible, and on which the
government has issued.a patent, is quite simple.
The remains are first surrounded with coating OF
sodium sileatp, or water gass, which is allowed to
dry. When the water has been sufficiently evapor-
ated, the subject is placed in mold which is to de-
termine the size Of the glass block, and molten glass
is poured in till it is filed.

might have changed in that time and the acceptance
OF two States by Seuator Quay would probably have
very great effect upon the possibility Of such leg
slation. Beveridge answered this suggestion: ssNo
change In the situation whatever There is not one
chance In hundred for statehood legislation by the
Senate. We are making good progress on theapprO-
priation measuresand yOuwill the sessiOnclose

upon, and the Democatic campaign speeches to be
made there will be quite enough to occupy the SEN

it is OF little moment whether the bills are acted up
on at present or not, it will be impossible for the
necessary fOrmaities to be complied with and the

mess than before n the history Of this country
The creation Of great corporations, which we call
''trusts' the transaction OF commerce on a broader
scale requiring immense capital and Regulation of
competition" have made it more and more difficult
for the small business man to maintain himself.
B. G. Dun & Co.'s statistics show that the total
number Of business firms in this country in 1882
was 81, 256; in 1892 1,172 7O5; and in 1902, 1253
172. The increasing from 1882 to 1892 was 350,
449, or AZ per cent; and from 1892 to 1902 only
80 457, or less than per cent. In some lines Of
manufacture it is known that there has been an ac
tual decrease in number OF separate establishments
notwithstanding the increase in popu ation. It can
not be denied that the process Of the concentration
of the CONTROL of wealth and the various devices in
vented TO secure its perpetuation in a few hands,
serves to contract the horizon OF high ambition. It
is certain that our young are not going to be
cheated Of their chance for success. II the
nomic conditions stand like rock In their path, OBJ
structiDg their progress, they will either go arOund

acting wholesome laws for the benefit Of all people
fail or refuse much longer to do their known duty,
there will be revolution IN this land which will
shake from center to circumference. Those in
authority will be wiseif they read the rigns Of the
lines and act promptly.
