MANNERS.

Discussing this Interesting question in

Florence Howe Hall says
British frankness of speech makes the
English man or woman say things that APP
pear indelicate 20 us. They consider us
prudish. while we think them a little
cOarse-everything depends upon tho
point OF view. There is a primness OF
speech and manner which is indicative OF
halfway stage of culture. II is true.
The woman who 'sustains a fracture of

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER "a, 1906.
UP TO THE ASSEMBLY.


The large and influential minority in the gen
eral assembly that will come into office in January
next should labor zeaously for a radical amend
ment in the caucus law that will place Rhode Is
land somewhere near Massachusetts, in the con
duct of the party caucuses. Fair caucuses and ar
honest count are among the strongest supports Of
our American system of government.
Citizens of Rhode Island. especially those in the
larger cities and towns. have had many striking
examples of the efficiency of dishonest caucuses in
perpetuating dishonest and dishonorable ring rule
Through the medium of such caucuses it is pos
sible for the corrupt ring of one party to gain
ascendaney to do infinite harm to the honest n.en.-
bers of all parties.
Neither of the great parties desires that sort of
thing. Neither of them can afford tolerate that
kind of chicanery. The rank and file of every party
are normally and habtually honest, and will not
stand for continued dishonesty by the few who
happen to have gained control of the party ma
chinery through unwise and unfair caucus laws.
In this 7tate the Republicans have been much
less troubled than have the Democrats in securing
a free expression of the partys will at the partys
caucuses But is not this result due in large part
to the fear of the average Republican voter that
if he revolts against the machine he will be pun
ished?
On the other hand there can be no question that
the rank and file of the Democracy are not afraid
to according the dictates of their civic
science Why should not that expression of the
civic conscience of Democrats be properly re-
corded and registered'
1t may be claimed that the Democrats of Rhode
Island require special urging to exercise their fran
chise, but that fact is probably due to their fear
that the odds against them too heavy to insure
any practical permanent results
But experience shows that the militant Demo
Gratis have found themselves also denied of their
rights at the caucuses. This denial came from
aiders and abettors of the violation of the caucus
law, and that violation was as serous and crin-
nal any violation Of the election law could pos
sibly be.
1t is clear to every honest citizen. whatever his
political affiliations may be, that the present caucus
law is a miserable makeshift, intended to aid one
party to overcome the opposing party by crooked
means and methods.
Decent Rhode Islanders do not wish the con-
tinuance of that kind Of law in their statutes and
they look to the incoming general assembly to so
amend it that its present vicious features will be
entirely removed and honest caucuses assured
every party that has any standing in the state

AS wine doesn't exist and as alcoholic
poisoning doesn't exist, the trick should

That strikes us as a fair question and
n sound conclusion. Drunkenness,
whether considered as a disease or as a
consequence OF putting intoxicants into
the stomach, Is merely an error OF NOR
tai hought from the Christian Sci
ence' point OF view. and 1t can be de-

How much sleep do men need? Jeremy
Taylor was content with three hours.
Baxter with four Wesley with six, Bis

You made your bed some grassy dell,

You did not choose TO hear their call,
But fingered I'm your chosen spot.

But tarried still; and still you stay,

sumption as in the fourth quarter of
1905, namely, horses and dogs. While
the number Of horses slaughtered IN
the fourth quarter OF 1904 amounted
TO but 1869. and in the first quarter
of 1905 to but IS eos, it rose in the
fourth quarter Of 1905 to 52,5S4.
In Mecklen5erg Srrelitz there were
slaughtered twenty-nine steers and
136 horses; in Meckelnberg Schwediin
7S3 horses and only 256 steers. Very
high figures were reached by Anhalt,
with COS horses slaughtered. as
against 312 steers. and at Dubeck,
with 369 horses and ia steers. The
number of horses slaughtered in South
Germany is comparatively small, as
also in Saxony, where only about
half as many horses as steer were
consumed.
"On the other hand, in the matter of
Strengthening dogs. Saxony took sec.
ond place, with 1,464 head.
"A similar condition was shown In
Anhalt, with Is dogs slaughtered for
food. In the other German states this
species Of flesh is less valued. In
Prussia only 526, in Bavaria lS1, ana
in Baden three dogs were slaughtered
in the last quarter of 1905. while in
Hesse there were none.
ITO be sure, here are reckoned only
the common species of dogs, which un.
der official inspection were compelled
to give up their lives and allow them
selves to be eaten. According to Of
fetal record there were 2,4O5 dogs
slaughtered during the fourth quartz,
Of 1905, against 1,762 during the same
period of 1904. Hence it will be seen
that the German nations food depen Is
more and more on the dog"

BAD BLOW To
BEEF BUSINESS

Kansas CiCy Mo, June THE
Journal says that it is estimated that
the business of packing houses here
will suffer to the extent of $4,000 900
as the result of the agitation in con
nection with the presidents crusade
against tTdressed' mea'C. Represrn-
tatiYes of various plants seen yester-
day agreed with the estimate in tele-
graphic dispatches that the business
of the whole country would show a
loss of at least S150000, 00o Charles
w. Armour said:
"All this agitation is going to do an
immense amount of damage, and in
quarters where it will be hardest to
overc ONE the prejudices aroused. 1t
will be a long time before the pre-
JUDGE against American meats in
England is allayed and it will be still
longer on the continent The packing
industries of the country have enough
obstacles to contend with without in
creasing the number unjustly or mis-
chieviously. Everybody knows how
hard it is to control the meat trade in
Germany and France. The world is
allied commercially against the United
States 1t is only by dint of sheer
superiority of products, better methods
and American strenuosity that America
holds her own and is conquoring the
markets of the world. 1t is not from
any commercial hospitality.
Il do not think the estimate of
$3.50, 100000 loss to the packers in the
whole country is exaggerated. That
is only a shrinkage of about 10 per
cent on the total volume Of business
done, which think is easily $780,
900 900 in ali branches of the trade.
We have complaints from England
that the canned meat trade is decreas-
