Eloquence of Bryan.
On the resumption of the sessions OF
the conference of the Interparliament-
airy union today the above was unan-
imously adopted after speeches by for
mer Austrian Minister of Commerce
Won Plener and Mr.. Bryan, warmly
supporting the amended rider. The lat
ter said that his amendment was aimed
at widening the scope of arbitration so
as to include questions of national hon
or, the chances being a hundred to one
that the proposed investigation of facts
would also settle the question Of nation
al honor If the hand of war could be
stayed till the conscience awakened.
wars would become more remote. The
amendment, therefore, was a long step
in the direction of peace.
Mr.. Bryan'S speech was brief, but
eloquent. and aroused much enthusiasm
among the delegates.
Limitation of Armies and Navies.
Baron dEstournelles de Constant.
head of the French delegation, SUISSE
quently opened the debate on the limit
alton of military ,and naval forces. He
declared that, if the powers were unde-
cided among themselves how to act
for their common interests, they would
be forced to do so. first by bankrupt
cy and then by revolution. He said
that limitation of ornaments had no
connection with the chimera of disarm-
ament The arguments against disarm-
ament were based on the augmented
expenditure of the powers. The aug
mentations in the United States were
due to the unfortunate example of Eu-
h1rf in m la
ton the American forces had not been
increased unreasonably and the ex-
penditure has augmented proportion
ately, the ornaments proving the in
aptitude of the Americans to trans
form themselves into nation OF
soldiers.
Germany's Mistake.

mits the grave fault of struggling with
the United States for naval pre-emi-
nence, and this divides her energies
both on land and on sea uselessly, for
the American states were united and
inaccessible. while the states of Eu-
rope were divided and will always be
menaced by the possibility of a coaii-
ton against them.
resolution was agreed to in princi-
pie urging that the question of disarm-
ament be placed on the program of the
next peace conference at The Hague.
The exact wording of the resolution will
be discussed tomorrow.
Congressman d. l.. d. Granger OF
Rhode Island was elected vice president
of the American delegation for the COM

Rartholdt of Missouri and T. E. Burton
of Ohio were elected members of the

As to Christmas Cards.

A distinguished English painter
once said that the modern Christ
mas card did more to spread love
of art than the Royal academy.
These were not exactly his words,
but they accurately convey his
general meaning. But the remark
was made a good many years ago.
and since then the higher class
Christmas card has become more
artistic than ever it was before.
Old-fashioned things, who cherish
the customs that were, will re-
joice to know that the Christmas
card Of the good old days'-a
picture of glistening snow. with
frost bitten old gentleman or rubi-
cund visage struck in the eye by
snowball-is still to be bought.
But 1t is not so much in demand
as it was formerly. Perhaps it is
that the opportunities for snow
balling in this country have sensi-
bly, decreased, and such a picture
as that described consequently
lacks versimilitude. Or it may be
that little boys manners have i'm
and that they no longer
do such things. But whatever the
the experience of recent
years has made it evident that the
public taste in Christmas cards has
reached a high level, and accord
ingly there would seem to be some
ground for indorsing the opinion
of the famous artist whose words
have been recalled.

Fever at Havana.

Dispatches froRl Cuba don't say
much about yellow fever in Ha-
vana. but it ifs there. A New
York correspondent in a recent
letter treats of the subject at
considerable length. He has no
doubt from the Information he has
been able to collect that its presence
IS due to neglect of sanitary reguIa-
tons. 1t is fact that after the
American sauitarians cleaned the
city and partly drained the adj
jacent country, the fever disap-
peared from Havana, though pre-
vious to that the fever appeared
regularly every year. In some
years there was very little of it,
and in other years there were
epidemics. From September, 1901,
to October, 1905, there wasn't a
single case in the city. The belief
gained ground that the disease had
disappeared altogether. But it lis
back again. Since early last
October there have been 122 cases
and twenty-five deaths. In Ha-
vana, it is stated that the fever is
of a very mild type, but this is
denied, the claim being that it is
of virulent character. That be-
ing the case an epidemic may be
looked for next spring, unless
measures are taken to
stamp the disease out and to re-
move the cause of it.
Of course, the Cuban authorities
will not admit that they have been
the sanitary regulations
that were introduced by the Ameri-
cans, but it is declared to be a fact |
that these regulations are no longer
in such way as to make
hem effective. There is a sanitary

truth douBfress i4s-that they don't

in the city or not. The Cubans
have no fear of it, and are not

people of Havana therefore, feel

The argument IS made by attor-
neys for the Pullman Company that
if our railroad commission takes
charge of their cars in Texas, the
cars Will by that act be designated
as common carriers. A common
carrier, from its chronological deri-
walton to the present time, means
a conveyance or means Of convey
ance. that must, sswben their fixed
price. as regulated by law at pres
ent, is rendered, take, carry, and
treat without discrimination, all
corners, regardless of size, color, or
previous condition of ancestry. So
saith the law. Now in Texas there
would, under such an arrangement,
be just sufficient negroes, who
would demand their rights to make
about one to each and every sleeper
in the state. Not enough, by any
means to justify the company to put
on an extra Pullman with every
train that now hauls them. Then
what are we going to do about it?
Sleeper rates are a trihe high in
some cases but if the commission
regulates them, it can only be done
on the ground that they are COM
mon carriers. For statement of
the problem and a solution, see
Hamlet's sOliloquy.

to the conclusion that my kidneys
were out of order so procured a box

the work in a short time, clearing
up the kidney secretions and re-

To The Other Fellow

I guess you know this fellow
He's found in every place
Who favors all improvements
To benefit the race;
He with the 1oudest shouters
Is always to be found,
But somehow he IS missing
When the list goes round
On Sunday morning early
TO church he always goes,
And listens to the sermon
From the start until the close;
He looks up at the preacher.
With gaze that's most profound
But his eyes are on the ceiling
When the plate goes round.
He'll 60 on an excursion
And listen to the bands;
He thinks the music charming,
And loudly claps his hands;
He keeps his ears wide open,
He does not miss sound;
But he's gazing at the ocean
When the hat goes round.
When all his days are ended
And he reaches Peters Gate,
He'll find that he's been selfish
To let others pay the freight.
If Peter lets him enter,
And in heaven he is found,
I'll bet he's disappointed
When the crowns come round.
