do you approve of the reunion and

the following basis:
"The union shall be effected on the
doctrinal basis of the confession OF
faith Of the Presbyterian church in the

rRouBLE ron THE BEEF TRUST.


The whole country is interested in
the price of meat. Therefore, the res
olution introduced into the House on
| Tuesday, by Representative Martin or
! South Dakota, asking the Secretary or
Commerce to find out if there isn't
an understanding between the pack
ers to keep down the price of cattle
and keep up the price of meat, is at
tracing a good deal of attention.
There is no doubt the House will pass
the resolution. and that there Will be
an investigation.
It does seem remarkable that the
price of meat should rise when the
price of cattle is falling. If the pack
ers can explain satisfactorily this con-
d'tion of affairs they can do more
than stockmen think they can. 1t is
not believed that the packers are vio-
lating the injunction issued by Judge
Grosscup, preventing them from COM
bining to put down the price of stock
and TO put up the price of meat, but
they are satisfied that an understanding
between them is reached somehow
One evidence that there is an under
standing is the fact that there is no
competition in the cattle market in
Chicago. There is only one bid for cat
tie in that market and stockmen have
to- take that or else carry their cattle
back to their ranches. That is a con-
dition of affairs that is calculated to
excite susnicion.
1t is a difficult matter for either
the courts or the government to keep
up with the trusts. They are con-
Quoted by some of the ablest men in
the country, and they have command
of almost unlimited amounts of money
1t is not to be wondered at therefore
that they find ways for avoiding a
strict compliance with the law.
If Congress finds that the packers
have been using illegitimate methods
for increasing their profits the chances
are that there will be antitrust leg
islation of more stringent character
than any that has yet been enacted,
Stockmen are thoroughly aroused by
the low prices. which they have been
receiving for their cattle during the
past few months. and the prices of
meats are a cause of discomfort among
the people.

ANNEXATION SENTIMENT AT PAN
ANA.

There is not much ground for ex-
pecting that there will be safe and
stable government on the isthmus OF
Panama as long as the Panamaians
undertake to govern themselves. Al
ready there are signs of coming trou-
BILE. It is freely predicted that there
will be a revolution before many
months. There is a bitter feeling be-
tween the whites and blacks. There
is race problem on the isthmus and
the prospect of its peaceable solution
is by no means promising.
When the government of the new re-
public comes into possession of the
$40, 900, 900 1t is to get from this coun-
! try for canal concessions the differ
ences between the races are likely to
become even more pronounced than
they are now. Each race will want
TO handle the money
A good many of the negroes are very
we'll educated and have been promi-
nent In public affairs. Indeed, they
were more prominent than the white
people when the isthmus was a part
of the territory of Colombia. Some of
them are in the general assembly of
the new republic, and they are maxi
ing their presence felt by opposition
to most of the measures proposed by
the government For instance, the
whites in the constitutional conven-
ton wanted authority given to the
United States to interfere in domestic
affairs in the event of a disturbance.
The negroes objected strenuously to
this on the ground that the granting
of such authority would be depriving
the people of their liberty.
The merchants foresee that trouble
some times are ahead and they are
all talking in favor of annexation to

course will govern the ten-mile strip.
known as the canal zone, and they
will make conditions there so much
better than elsewhere on the isthmus
that the sentiment will become gen.
eral in favor OF annexation. Besides,
1t is probable that the race feeling
will become so much more intense
that it will be difficult to prevent rev.
olutions and other sorts of disturb
ances. If the isthmus is made healthy
there will be considerable white Inn
migration and that will tend to draw
the races further apart The United

THE OLDEST MAN.

source of income upon which New
Brunswick, n. j., newspaper corre-
spondents have drawn for many years
has been removed. Noah Raby is
dead, as the Associated Press dis
patches announced a few days ago.
The correspondents have written him
up periodically for quarter OF a CEN
fury. Noah is supposed to have been
the oldest man in the world, and the
officiai records say that he died in his
136th year. It is certain that he had
been an inmate of the Piscataway
poor house for thirty-six years, and
that he was a wrinkled and frosted
old man, claiming to be 100 years Of
age, at the time he was admitted. In
deed, it is believed his history is so
we'll authenticated that he was GER
tainly very nearly If not quite as old
as he claimed to be.
There seems to have been nothing
remarkable about old Noah except his
age, but that was remarkable enough.
He asserted that he remembered
George Washington and could repeat
a part of a speech he once heard the
Father of His Country deliver, He
saw Lafayette and recalled his per-
sonal appearance. He remembered
hearing from his elders of the fighting
in the Revolutionary War when such
matters made up the current news of
the day. At the age of forty he en-
listed in the war of 1872. For a time
| he was in the navy, serving on the
| Constitution and the Brandywine. He
was nearly sixty years old when the
first railroad was built, and was a
| hundred before there were electric
lights or telephones.
What was the secret of his longevity?
1t would be worth something to know
of certainty, but since there can be
only guesses, the safest guess would
| probably be that he was built that
way. Still some of the things he did
and did not, and some of the facts of
| his ancestry and history, are interest
| ing. And they may, or may not, have
had something to do with his accumu-
lation of years. He began smoking
tobacco when he was seven years old,
and drinking whisky about the same
age; but he got drunk only twice. He
| never got married, and had only one
slight attack of love-sickness. He
never worked except when he had to.
hence went to the poor house
in his old age. He never fret
ted about anything. He was
born in North Carolina. He had Eng
fish and Indian blood in his veins. He
left North Carolina when still a young
man. He liked to sit in the sunshine,
He was Democrat. All of these
things may have had something to do
with his great age. Old as he was,
however. he was not a record-breaker.
A contemporary recalls that Thomas
Parr of England married at 100. lived
thirty-two years thereafter and finally
died of over-eating.
