BEYOND REACH
OF POOR PEOPLE
Meat Scarce and Prices Prohibitive
in Germany.
DEBATE IN THE REICHSTAG
GOVERNMENT NOT LIKELY TO
TAKE ACTION.

Berlin, Nov. 30.-The reichstag today
discussed q socialist Interpolation ask
ing Chancellor Won Buelow what meas
ures- the ioperial ga,NrAmsnt propos
to take against the meat scarcity.
Herr Scheidmann, socialist, quoted hg
ures showing the decrease in the
slaughtering of animals at the public
abbattoirs and their lighter weight
compared with previous years. The
price of pork. he said. was 40 marks
per metric hundredweight in Chicago,
IS in Rotterdam, 125 in Berlin and l55
at Stuttgart He denied that the
closure of the frontiers was necessary
TO protect German livestock against
foreign diseases, since such diseases
were very rare in France, Holland and
Denmark. whereas $4,000 farms in Ger
many were reported to be affected
with red murrain in 1904 and $4,000 IN
1905. The dearness of meat, Herr
Scheidmann declared, was partly due
10 the meat law, which necessitates
heavy inspection charges.
Question for the States.
Vice Chancellor Count Won PusadoW-
ski-WehneT answered the inteTpelld-
ton in behalf of the chancellor. He
said that the opening of the frontiers
was a matter for the individual state
governments to decide, but the Saxon
and Bavarian governments had re-
jected such reciprocity. The relaXa-
ton of veterinary control at the from
tiers would shake the foundations Of
the domestic animal industry and pro-
mote dependency upon foreign coun-
tries The surest guarantee for rea-
sOnable meat prices rested in the pro-
lection of domestic livestock.
Due 10 Poor Crops.
The minister of agriculture, General
Won Podbjelski maintained that the
high prices of meat represented a
transitOvy condition due to poor crops.
He admitted that if the present prices
became permanent it would be neces-
sary TO take steps to get cheaper meat,
and said that the animals brought 10
market slaughtered in 1905 were per
cent lighter than the animals slaugh-
tered in 1904. President Count Won
BaIstrem called General Won Podbjel-
ski to order for saying that Scheide-
mann had made himself the mouth
piece for all the malicious nonsense
printed about me in the newspapers. D."

Opened for Defense.

james Munroe then opened the case
for the defense. His first line of argu-
ment addressed itself 10 the medical
testimony produced by the defense
This, he said, was incOnclusive except
as 10 the fact that none of them had
ever seen injuries such as were received
in this case from fist blows. but all had
seen injuries from impacts against hard
substances, as was testified TO. such as
the deceased had received in the falls.
Therefore the court should hold that
the accused had no criminal connection
with the death of Branch.

ter is concerned" Mr.. MunrOe said, I'VE

4 WHOLESOME LESSON

Philadelphia is teaching the country not
lew wholesome lessons. Its successful revolt
against the corrupt political machine which
dominated its local legislature has demonstrated
the enormous power In city politics of an
aroused and united public sentiment The ease
with which the Quaker City freed itself from
the clutch of its overconfdent and overgreedy
oppressors has set other municipalities TO think
Ing that they. too, are capable of working out
e similar emancipation. Mayor Weaver has
promised TO give Philadelphia for the next two
years model edninistra tion-an administra-
ton divorced from politics and devoted sim
ply and solely TO the public interest In the
measures he has taken since the fight TO xii,
the gas steal opened he has shown abundant

FEVER AT PANAMA.

IT would be exaggeration to say there is ah ePi-

alarming, but it is serious There Is no occa-
sion for panic, but there Is urgent cause ror
prudence and for all possible energy in dealing
with sanitary conditions. We may add tnat
there "a cause for regret at some of the red tape
md DELAY Of the last year. There were thought
FIJI observers who said last fall that unless
something was done speedily IN exporting san

stronger hand to the sanitary officials there
would be an epidemic of fever. That predicuon
has come sufficiently near to tulflment TO give
rise to keen regret that the things which should
then have been done were not done.
We must, however, regard the present Attic
tons on the isthmus as the losses Of soldiers In
battle Such losses may be minimized by
shrewd tactics, but they bound TO occur to
some degree. We are fighting at Panama
tremendous battle against q terrible foe ana
we cannot expect to win 1t without some losses.
We are waging the battle by building sewers,

stroying mosquitoes. There can be no doubt

Governor Magoon's reports Of new cases and Of
deaths they are not surprising. When the works
now nearing completion are entirely done we
may expect din1inution and gradual extinc-

passed without a case Of yellow fever on the

Until then the situation must be regarded
with patience and with some anxiety, though
always with hope and with confidence In its
ultimate redemption. 1t is also gratifying that
the officers the isthmus are brave enough to
let the whole truth be known, no matter how
bad it may be- Governor Davis sent true re-
ports, and happily he did not have so much of
evil to report as there now is. Governor Ma
COON has thus far had TO report deplorably
bad state Of affairs, but he has done SO with
frankness and courage. 1t is best to know the
worst, especially since there IS reason to be-
heve that the administration which has the cour-
age to tell the worst is making toward and will
presently achieve the best

SPANISH KINGS IN ENGLAND

Some little controversy has been provoked by
our recent correction of the erroneous current
statement that Alfonso XIII was the first King
of Spain to visit England. We reminded our
readers that in fact he was the second, Philip II
having preceded him. A few correspondents
have taken exception to that, and have cited by
way Of criticism Of our correction the observa-
ton of THE London Tines that when Philip
H. in times of trouble and passion, came to
marry Queen Mary, he was but Prince of Spain
his father had not yet sbdicated" That state
ment Of THE Times's'' is entirely true, but 1t
does not In the least conflict with our conten-
ton because it Is not the whole truth. When
Philip went to England to marry Mary he was
only Prince Of Spain. But that was not his
only visit to England. He went thither sec
ond time, after he had become King.
Let Us cite two other authorities Of the very
highest rank. One is 1.-THE Encyclopaedia
Britannica:
Charles V. out by the fatigues of a long
reign, resolved to abdicate in favor of his son,
and this he did on 18th January 1856. Philip
II was now King of Spain. Naples and Sicily
The other authority is the great Dictionary
Of National Biography" In its article Oh Queen
Mary:
On II March. 1857, Lord Robert Dudley
brought the welcome tidings that Philip was at
Calais, and on the Goth he with her at
Greenwich. Since his departure his
father had resigned to him his thrones in the
Netherlands and in Spain. . On Julv he
stood godfather to the of the fourth Duke of
Norfolk. On the Bird King and Queen
slept at Sittingbourne. and next day Philip left
Dover for the Low Countries
1t is clear, then, that Philip II became King of
Spain on January IS, 1856. and that more than
year and two months later, on March 20 1857
he visited England and remained there more
than three months, until July 4. Thus he was
the first King aP SDain IN vi EnoIopd o-5

the minor facts, of history.

THE ROYAL ARCANUM CRISIS.

The dlsquieting and perhaps omtnous con-
uoVersy In the Royal Arcanum is Of much more
Importance than the troubles which few years
ago put so many mutual benefit associations out
OF business. Some of those other concerns were
or mushroom growth. and never contained ele-
ments of permanence. Some were so falsely
founded as TO resemble the "get-dch-quick" en-
terprises, and II Is hard to resist the conclu-
sion that few men went into them with
more creditable expectation than to get hand
some profits out Of them at the expense of
others before the inevitable crash came. The
Royal Arcanum. however, has always been re
garded radically different from these. It
was founded upon honest and supposedly
judicious and practicable basis, 1t has secured
a numerous membership among the most
thoughtful and substantial men OF the nation
and 1t has been supposed TO be assured Of
career Of lasting prosperity. Now. however, It
is proposed, upon the ground OF alleged neces-
slty, to increase its assessments for insurance
to what many members regard as a prohfbitive
degree, and there is talk Of legal proceedings.
Of wholesale Withdrawals from the organizs-
ton and of other disastrous doings.
The fundamental question involved is, Of
course, the practicability OF "fraternaP or 'as-
sessment'' life insurance. or its dsSirabiity as
