Everything he stirs up pans out well.
All he kneads is his. he has dough to

Beers AND BRITQNS
TO BE TREATED ALIKE
English Governments Plans For
TransvaaI Constitution.
VOTE FOR EVERY ADULT MALE
Churchill in the Commons and Elgin
in the Lords Explain the Pro-
iect--Wild Scenes Follow the
Speeches.

London. - In a speech Of great
moderation, carefully designed to
propitiate his opponents, Winston
Spencer Churchill, Parliamentary
Secretary of the Colonial ONCE, in
the House Of Commons explained the
Governments plans to confer con-
stitution on the Transvaal. Dwelling
on the urgency of the question, he
described the Transvaal as the nerve
centre Of South Africa, and said the
new country reproduced in miniature
all the dark and tangled problems of
the old-established European States.
The Governments guiding princi-
pie had been to treat Boer and Bril-
ton alike, and to make no distinction
IN granting the boon of British citi-
zenship both to the men who fought
Loyalty for Great Britain and to those
who resisted the British arms with
desperate courage. While the Gov
eminent had been careful to secure
for the British every advantage they
might justly claim, South Africa's flu.
ture depended on both races learning
to look to the mother country as
friend, The Government decided for
the principle Of manhood suffrage
against any property qualification.
Therefore, every adult male twenty
one years old, who had been a resi-
dent six months in South Africa, ex.
cept members of the British garrison.
would be entitled to vote under the
secrecy ballot system.
An animated debate followed the
closing of Mr.. Churchill's remarks.
Mr. Balfour, winding up for the
Unionists, pronounced it a reckless
and audacious experiment. He ar
gued that it was too near the war to
expect the Dutch to forget what they
had suffered, and moro than human
nature could grant to expect them to
be loyal to Great Britain. He said
an explanation of this hurried proceed
ure was the Governments burning
desire to get rid of all its economic
questions in South Africa which its
rash pledges of general election
had brought upon it.
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerm
the Premier, answering Mr.. Balfour,
said that never in the course of his
parliamentary career had he listened
to more unworthy mischievous and
unpatriotic speech.
An exciting scene followed these
remarks, the Unionists shouting
Shame, Gag, p Apologize, With
draw but the chairman promptly
called division ON the question OF
the Colonial Secretary 'ssalary, which
was carried, 316 to SO.
While this was occurring in the
Commons, Lord Elgin, Secretary of
State for the Colonies, had made the
same statement in the House of
Lords as Mr. Churchill made in the
House of Commons. While Mr..
Churchill was praising the new con-
stitution his cousin, the Duke of
Marlborough, who was Colonial I'm
der Secretary in the former Govern
ment, was denouncing it in the upper
house.
Lord Harris asked what flag would
wave over Pretoria twenty years
hence. Lord Miner declared he saw
a tragedy behind the precipitancy of
the Government, and mourned that
the future of the Transvaal was to be
left to chance.

Did you know that if you cut a

poor cat. The balance of power and

SECRETARY WILSON

Carcass in Storage.
CALLS AGENT TO ACCOUNT
Quick Visit Of Secretary Of AgricuI-

Philadelphia. Not only slaughter
houses but also the storage plants Of
the Beef Trust in this city were
inspected by Secretary Wilson, Of
the Department of Agriculture, in the
course of his whirlwind visit, This
fact developed after Dr. Charles
schaufer, chief Of the federal corps
Of meat inspectors in this city, haa
vainly tried to suppress the details
of the inspection 1t may have been
that a reason for DR.. Schaufer's Sc
cretiveness lay in an episode connect
ed with the visit of Secretary Wilson
to the big storage house of Armour
& Co, at Second and Norris streets.
In superficial survey of one Of
the big refrigerators in this place, the
quick eye of the Secretary caught
condemned tag upon the carcass of
a calf. It was the tag of a Chicago
inspector, and showed that the car
cass had been condemned as unfit for
food
Wheeling sharply upon DR.. Schauf-
Ter the Secretary rasped out.
How did this meat get into Phila-
delphia?n
The local man could find no an
swer He stammered something
about oversight, and was about to
order the meat thrown into the fer
tilizing tank when he saw that an
approved" stamp was upon the in
side of the carcass.
It was evident that the animal had
been condemned as unsound when
alive, but that examination of the
organs after death showed the meat
to be fit for food To the mind of
the Secretary, however, the existence
Of the second tag did not excuse the
failure of the local inspectors to re-
move the condemned tag, and he ex-
pressed himself sharply to that eff
feet.
A total Of 1853 examinations were
made by the municipal inspectors.
AS a result of the days work three
meat shops we're reported to be UNI
sanitary and notices were served
upon the proprietors that unless con-
ditions are remedied their places will
be closed. All the stores are in the

meat, total of 762 pounds.
While the new Federal Inspection
law is expected to aid in publication
Of the meat supply, which goes into
interstate commerce and foreign
trade, and incidentally also the local
meat trade, the bulk of the work in
assuring pure meat supply for local
consumption must be done by the
local inspectors.
For this reason the ordinance
which has been framed by Dr. Leon
ard Pearson, and behind which will
be aligned all the influences of the
Department of Health and Charities,
will be of paramount Importance to-

guarantee the fitness of pound of

It will be concerned with the clean
Illness and freedom from disease of

to safeguard the people of this city
