has at last rugged up an outfit that will
help him greatly in the future. In the

weight of the fish that got away, but
they have been skeptical
Now Cox has bought a spring bal

is a small affair but has been tested
and found to be accurate. He will at
tach this to his line near the pole and
when he hooks a fish the jerk will cause
the balance to register the weight Of
the fish. Hereafter Cox will be able to
tell the weight Of those that get away
as well as the weight of those cap

FRANCE IN DREAD
Of BREAD F ANIME
People Hungry and Desperate
as Spectators Coin Necessi-
ties of Life Into Gold.

PARIS, July 11.-"Let us smash the
infamy! Let us smash the infamy!"
This is the shibboleth which has been
resounding through the legislative and
municipal halls of Paris during the past
few. days. The infamy referred to is
the coming of the necessities of the
people into gold by speculation; espe-
cially in wheat, -four and sugar.
1t is calculated that there viii be
bread famine in Paris by July u and
the municipal council of Parts recon-
mends the communes of France to buy
up the surplus of wheat. -four and
sugar so that their people may not be
charged famine prices by spectators.
This follows closely the doctrine
preached recently by the Socialist lead
err NJ. Jaures, whose advocacy of a sim
liar purchase by the nation for the
benefit Of the people was recently pre-
sented in America
From the whole discussion in the
chamber, senate and city council it is
quite clear that speculation is the en-
envy of the people Georgeu Berry, dep
uty for Paris. man whose name stands
for civic virtue. says
Lower. T arifF the Remedy.
AT Toulon. Bordeaux and Limoges
the municipal councils ask how long
they will be able to give bread to the
population. Thus we may have a short
age of bread all over France any day
We must not shut our eyes so as not to
see. nor close our ears so as not to
hear The situation is all the more
serious because in France bread is the
basis of all sustenance, and for ma
| jority of the population is half their
food
Those who do not lower the barrier
of tariff and let in wheat to feed our
people forget the lesson of history
While our people are crying for bread,
they do not offer them stones. but
they are practically saying with Marie
Antoinette Why not give them cake?'
why should people be allowed to go
hungry as long as hountiful Mother
Earth produces cheap wheat in Aus
tralia and elsewhere? Free the latter
from tariff and you will liberate home
grown wheat from unruly speculation
and save our workingmen from starva-
ton. Unless remedy be found,
foresee the direst consequences for the
tranquility of my country. The old
Romans at least gave bread and cir
cuses to the people. We, the heirs to
| the Roman civilization, should have
been able to improve on that during all
the long centuries which have since
elapsed. Instead Of which, spectators
the lineal descendants of the money
changers whom Christ elected from the
temple-have got us by the throat.
Paris is threatened with such q
shortage as we have not seen since the
siege and the commune"

Far remote, and distant was 1t from
anybody to dispute the ruling, in the cir

not a small degree of bitterness was

that the Tippins bill was up for consid-
Grafton, and there was evidence of sui

There are members of the legisla-

poor kin.
Mr.. Converse, OF Lowndes, enjoys quite
reputation as word singer among his
legislative colleagues.
In addressing himself adversely to the
Tippins bill on Tuesday, the honorable
gentleman released vocabulary that
clothed his ideas in grand, gloomy. and
peculiar dignity at times, but went pref
~ well over the heads of some of his
hearers. nevertheless.

late Frederick Douglass as "a little black

This writer ayers that Mr. Howell didn't
know what he was talking about when
he described Douglass after that fashion.
