Methodist Bishop Censures the Presi
dent.
From tlio I'ubuque Telegraph
Bishop Andrews of the Methodist
Episcopal denomination, preached ty
request in the Fifth Avenue Presby
terian church, New York ity, Sunday
morning liist. President McKinley was
present, and in the course of the sermon
he received a rebuke. "Whatever may
be tho doctrine of depravity," said the
bishop, "man lovea his family, his neigh
bors and his country. This love makes
society possible. We should love our
friends and neighbors and country, but
we should love the people of every
other race as we love ourselves. There
are indications of a tendency not to
value men of other races as we value
those of our own." The sort of love
McKinley has «for the Filipinos is
shown by his slaughter of them. This
is not the love taught by the Gallilean.
But the liishop might as well have re
served his censure. McKinley will per
severe in the policy of bloodshed and
oppression regardless of pulpit and
press protest.
The hiBtoriao, John Morl°y, a most
dispassionate and fair minded states
man, in a speech before his constituents
at Forfar, among other things said "If
the sensible sober, honest people of
Great Britain were to examine in de
tail the grievances of theuitlanders not
one in a hundred would say that the
question of righting these wrongs soon
er or later is worth the sacrifice of one
brave man like General Wauchope, and
the desolation of a single ^English fire
Bide." And further, the "British Gov
ernment allowed itself to be dragged
by an unscrupulous ring into a
policy which made war certain."
The trail of the stock speculator
over it all. There has been a
conspiracy of gold hunters."
The present pouring out of British
and Boer bloo is needless, and would
never have occurred but for the plots of
interested money schemers." The fi
nancial ring and money schemers, not
only in England but in this country,
have many sins to their charge, and
some time tLere will come a day of
reckoning. Our own unholy war in the
Philippines cannot be charged directly
to this ring, but was born of similar
impulses, a desire for military and oftic*
ial greed, vain military glory and to
farm the islands for profit. Not an
atom of patriotism, hu manity or Chris
tianity or the spirit ef the higher civil
ization has entered into either of these
wars. Both were begotten of human
vauity and greed.—National Rural
William J. Bryan c»n go down in his
tory as the American who has traversed
more territory, seen more places, faced
more of his fellow mortals and talked
more words than any other living man.
His traveling record iB phenomenal.
In two months last year he covered 18,
OOOmileB. This is equal to nine tripB
across the ocean. It is nearly three
fourths of the distance around the
world. Time was not so very long ago,
when two years were deemed necessary
for a round the world trip.
Mr. Bryan has been in smash ups and
has come out of them right Bide up
with care. He haB taken the leader's
part in rescuing the injured and cutting
out the dead, has gone on hiB way,
nerves undisturbed, ready to apeak
with his accustomed fervor at the next
place on his schedule.
He has met with all conceivable inci
dent's, delays, mix-ups, failures to con
nect has been storm bound or land
slide-bound or wreckage-bound. HaB
suffered from thirst and hunger and
cold and heat and all the ills that trav
el lag liesti is heir to, and has come
through them all with health unimpair
ed, with voice in good order, with nerves
steady, with infectious laugh, with an
everready fund of anecdote and repar
tee, and always ready to get up and
talk for silver or to send sound money
and the administration to the lowest
depths of condemnation at a moment's
notice
He has worn out politicians who
tried to keep the pace Bet by him. He
has killed olf correspondents. The
asylums of the land are filled with
poor wrecks of humanity whose man
Aging editors tola them to "go with
Bryan." He has won tbe undying ad
miration of the ebony brethren who pre
side over the fortunes of parlor and
sleeping cars, and who admit that,
tough travelers though they be, "the
kunnel" can tire thom out.
And he has preached the funeral
sermons over the collins of many Pull
man conductors who have died trying
to see him through.
And the secret of it all? Tomp
perance in all things but travel and
sleep. Eight hours of sleep in the
twenty-four, no matter what happens.
That he must have. That he will have.
And as a sleeper Colonel Bryan is an
eminent BucceBS.
No matter how weary and worn he
may be, no matter how cold the car or
bow hot,no matter whether he be feeling
under the weather, Bryan will not touch
alcoholic drinks. He even eschews the
nonalcoholic stimulants, but drinks
copiously of good, clear, honest water.
His appetite is good his digestion per
fect. He likes an abundant but whole
some bill of fare, and he does justice to
it. His teeth are fine and play their
part to perfection. He never rushes a
meal in the headlong and headstrong
American fashion, but chews slowly
and swallows with deliberation. All
these things help, he believes.
They support his natural good health
and strong constitution. But sleep is
the grandest of all his tonics. It is the
force which enables him to live the phe
nomenally active life be leads.
He is the great peregrinator. In 18B7,
18,000 mile8 in 1898,18,000 miles in 1899,

Dreamery Interests Combine.
Topeka, Kas., March 7.—The ambi
tion of the Kansas farmer who a few
years ago was running to wheat and
corn is turning in the direction of cattle
and creameries and there is a desire to
build up out on the plains a rivalry of
the Elgin butter market. The growth
of the creamery industry in this state in
the past few years has been one of the
remarkable features of the business in
terests of Kansas, and the farmers who
are giving all their attention to the pro
duction of butter is larger than ever in
the history of tbe state.
The creamery industry was in the be
ginning the growth of hard times, when
the crops failed aud tbe farmers sought
something to lead them into financial
independence. The creamery checks
and the pension checks were all that
saved many a community f-um ruin in
the days of the early '90s, The humble
cow was eulogiged aud the creameries
started up all over the state. Some of
the companies grew faster than they
could keep up the pace and the result
was that they could not get enough
milk to supply the stations that they
have erected. The good-onp years
were the turning point and the farmers
who found that they could again get
good prices for cattle and that there
was money in the feeding of cattle
failed to look so closely after their COWB
and the business made a change to a
more substantial basis, but one that
had less of the boom about it than in
the beginning. The breeding of cows
for butter and the improvement of the
herds in order that more money might
be realized per cow has been the taBk
of the farmer in tbe past two years and
the creamery interests have been benefi
ted by it. Tbe creatnerymen have tried
to instruct their patrons so that they
could get better cijws, and have iu some
instances loaned to the farmers the
money with which to buy the stock and
so give abetter chance to the discour
aged patron who could not keep up
with his more fortunate neighbor.
The result of the growth of this sen
tioieut bus been that the creameries are
combining Into larger Institution!:, and
the uew movement lias resulted iu the
formation of what is claimed to be the
largest creamery company in the world.
It consists of the Kansas Creamery
company, the Brandt creameries, the
Burlingame creameries aud the Okla
homa 1'ioueer Creamery company, each
with a large number of plants and a
wide patronage extending from the
southern part of the territory to north
west Ktnsas. The plau of this com
bination—a trust, the papers ill it,
though it is not extensive enough for
that—iB to lessen the expense attendant
on the manufacture of butter and so
give a larger prollt.
The combined creameries have
already 1U0 Blutions, and expect to have
at least as many more when the work is
tuken up iu earnest this spring. They
will abandon all the oflices and manage
ic from this city,and will have traveling
ezperts,who will go from community to
community to teach the people how to

A busy vernmt?ut clerk hurried In
to an uvcpuo pie foundry during the
half hour allowed the department em
ployees for luuclieon. There were
iiiauy'little tabledabout, and each one
was attended to by an ebon hued
servitor, who floated back aud forth
from a Ion# counter that acted as a
sort of a coaling station, laden with
apple dumplings, deviled crabs, tripe
and oysters and other Hlmilur daiuties
so familiar to ilit* ordinary lunchroom.

the writing when he would stop, look
at the result and tear up the bit of pa

tomer called agniu Impatiently for the

The negro made a final effort and
handed the clerk the check, on which
was writteu. "One piece pie, one milk."

AitRwered Htn Own Letter.
A certain youug railroad man who
has charge of a department In the
auditing branch of his company's busi
ness had occasion recently to dictate a
letter to the head of a corresponding
department of another road. There
was a point In dispute between the
two railroads Involving money, and
this young official bad taken a stub
born ground that the other official was
totally at fault and advanced what
seemed to him unanswerable argu
ments to prove It.
A short time after he had forwarded
the letter he received a proposition
from headquarters of the other rail
road, which be accepted, and within a
few days he became the head of the
department with which he bad been in
dispute. Tbe first letter which he found
on file ready to be answered was his
own on the point In question.
There was only one thing to do. He
Immediately dictated an answer to his
own letter, refuting and repudiating
Its argument, and wound up by a heat
ed Insinuation that tbe writer of It was
an unmitigated donkey. Of course, the
letter was addressed to himself, but In
his enthusiasm for the luterests of his
new employer he did not mlud a little
thing like that.—Chicago News.

ou her.
"It won't hurt you. This pepper Is

"What Is that you say?" asked the
landlady from the uext table. "Speak
a little louder, please."
He reiterated his remark.
"That Isu't true," retorted the land
lady hotly. "I do uot use adulterated
goods on my table."
"My dear madam," said the blaud
joker, "there are always a lot of p's in
pepper."
There was an Impressive pause, then
the landlady said iu a erushlug voice:
"Oh, yes, just as you always furnish

cows for the patrons, the mortgage on
the cattle being ample security, as the
interest and payments on the principal
will be taken out of the checks given at
the creamery of the company for the
butter fat produced by the purchaser.
Th'iecan scarcely be any loss nd the
company will in the end be the gainer,
as well as the farmer, who can thus im
prove his stock. The butter will be
shipped in carlots from here, and it is
expected that Topeka will thus get the
business of many of the individual
creameries of the state and that it will
rival the Elgin market as a producer
and shipper of the well-known bricks of
butter.—Chicago Record.
Nature Studies la the Schools.
We are glad to see that our Agricul
tural college is taking up this work as
evinced by a phmpblet entitled "Na
ture Study Outlines," recently issued.
This pamphlet is the result of a joint
effort by the State Horticultural Society
and tbe State Agricultural College. The
Horticultural Society has in view the
advancement of the horticultural in
terests of tbe state by developing a
love for and a knowledge of plantB in
the hearts and minds of Iowa school
children. The Agricultural College
labors for the promotion of accurate,
systematic and business like farming,
in other words scientific farming.
\Vhen one is able to see the things
one looks at in the natural world and
is able to draw proper conclusions from
what one sees, then is the person a true
student of nature. It is not the aim
the promoters of this movement to in
troduce agriculture or horticulture Into
the already crowded school courses but
rather to break the monotony of the
dailv routine by puttiug in somuthi
which will quicken the phiiflren'a pow
