An addition of tJhreo or four cents a pound to the price of meat means for many families a considerable hi crease in the cost of living, while to cithers It means the ejcoluuton of meat from their taMe or Its use only occasionally. The aggre gate addition to tfve living expenses of the wQiwle people from such an ad vance In meat Is very large. The mat tor Is, Wierefbre,- manifestly of muoh Importance, broadly considered, as to warrant an Inquiry as to Its causes. There In a belief fflmt the advance In the price of moat Is iwt wiholly due to natural conditions. That there Is a reduced supply is , shown by the best available statistics, but It Is thougfhft ix t to be so great as to warrwrilt Oho large Increase In price. lit Is estimated that tliore are about 2,000,000 less boot cattle and 6,000,000 less lii In the country now than a year ago, the reduction In tlws fornix being about 6 1-4 per cent and In the latter about IS per cant. The advance In ifha price of moat Is from 15 to 25 per cent, whlah is out of proportion to the reduced supply. It Is alleged that liners is a 'beef trunt whose manipula tions are responsible for the eroesslve advance, and lit dm quite possible there is ground for this charge. The cattle raiisera say 'tiltnit such a combination . exists, and that It Is getting all the bertoftt from the advance. It Is easy to understand that the great stackers might unite under existing oomllti-aria to force up prices, for It 4s rarefty that tthey (have so favwalble an opportunity ito euaot tribute from the meat con sumers of the oounitry. Alt any rate It appears to bo the lrnnranlon at Wash' tngitun tftvat there Is eomotliing of this kind and the eeorebary of agriculture has Instructed the chief of the bureau of animal Industry to obtain data re gardlng the supply and prices of cattl at the leading packing points for the first three months of the present year, from which It may be determined how far The Increased piioe of meat la to be ascribed to a diminished supply. Agents of the bureau are also to maks thorough Inquiry as to whether there la any combination far putting up the price of beef products While putting down the per capita price of cattle. TUie Investigation thui ordered is tune, ly and will probably be productive of gxod results. If tlvere Is a cattle trust It will be well for he people to know It. One effect of the advance In the price of meat will probably toe to Induce the farmers of the country to raise more rattle and sheep timrn before, though of course this wiil depend upon wheth er the advance Is maintained. At tills K-awm of the year itflie consumjrtlon sf meat falls off and tho reduction will t muoh giveiter thun uxuuil because of the Increase In price, so ithwt It Is possible the alvfinoo will not l Vxig main talned. TUB THUEI PEACBMAKEli. Tho iM-actlo? of ww grows more in-cn-tflnx os 'the IHtth dtfavtla of Die ,.,.!,,;, thi-reof are devJUnn-d, la time i t-.-.,- t.i.ii.Ij to be so much developed r t:w!f is ilkeiy Ho t admired i a thfviry tihsm as practice. : t'uiles seems to be largely . . - : th'j condition of thins " "vve and defensive v fcer mllliary clen- lists. We all know about the Impene. tnalvle armor ptolte and the Irresistl. b!e long range and rapid Are artillery In use In the wavy, ami now there Is another interesting feature In the de raitmertt of smaill arms for the land forevs. A teat of tlhe Krag-Jorgensen rin, maide ut Fort Leavenworth re. cewtly In public, proved that at a dis tance of 1,000 yards a bullet bored thtoujj'h a target of solid oak nearly three feet thick, without being mis- tra.;:i, and at 2,000 yards a similar bullet penetrated a seol plate an inch thick. At 1.500 yards a human "cad- aver" and 24 Inches of oak were pierced through. The capacity of the K.-J. mlnsrl'.e for making "cadavera" to or der out of raw material, while you wait, Is thus clearly demonstrated. If any one wants any more practical and personal demonstration, all he has to do Is to get up a war with Uncle Sam and he will doubtless get all he wants and more. But the- chances are that these little episodes will cause war to be admired from a distance and avoid ed as an amusement In future. They are the true peace-makers. Tlile (historic .bonservtutlsm of the British government is never more man ifest than wtien tlhe exerctee of Its no less noted meddlesomeness would avail her notliiug. So it is that Sir Edward Gray, parliamentary secretary of the foreign office, -has made reply to In quiries that while the government has heard of the Imprisonment of ex-Queen Lllluokalani, of Hawaii, the matter is not one in wliich Great Britain can In terfere, nor are Where any grounds on which dhe can base a representation on the subject. This means that L41 la down, and there's nothing for England in taking tier part. In the meantime, the annexation sentiment Is growing. The Hawallans want a United States army officer to train their troops, and are 'getting ready generally to come In under the Stars and Stripes. The Anarchist of Illinois Who was elected governor, and preached lawless ness Is not only pardoning ' oonvlcts concerned in the murder of men for doing police duty, but is abusing the court for not yielding! to the threats of organized assassins; the same man who, as governor, gavo aid and com fort to the Ddhs Insurrection, and squealled iwihen ihe felt the power of the United States, is said to have made serious charges against Olmuncey M. Depew. It seems tlvait he and the president of the New York Central railroad ai-e not In agreement as to the way the world should be run. The news that Justice Jackson, of the supreme court, will resign If his health does not Improve rapidly this summer, Is regarded as meaning that Cleveland will rush at the chance to elevate, as It were, the celebrated diplomat Grosh. am to tho supreme bench. The presi dent is said to he encouraging Carlisle to run for the senate against Black- bum, but it is a pretty sure thing that riding the silver saddle horse, Joe would come in ahead of John. Ken tucky Is largely misinformed about the science and arts and the ancient and current history of money. THE LAST PEOPLE ON EARTH To reasonably expect relief are those who are continually dosing themselves with calomel, blue pill, podophyllin and other drastlo cathartics. Constipation cannot be permanently overcome by such violent disturbers of the bowels, stomach and liver. They lnfllot more harm Ith'an they temporarily relieve. Hostettor's Stomach Bitters is a safe and effectual substitute for such hurt ful drugs. The effect of this medicine la easy and natural, and is not accom panied as In the case of strong pur gativeswith griping and abrupt oper ation. Materia, dyspepsia, biliousness, sick headache, heartburn, and nervous ness are entirely aad yromptly removed by Uila excellent remedy, commended by physicians everywhere. NOTICE.
