Castro is held there as an undesirable immigrant on the ground of “moral turpitude,” it being charged against him that he robbed the Treasury, murdered one Paredes and was unkind to the Barber asphalt intercste. He has money, his health is good, he has never been tried for or convicted of any criminal Offense. “Moral turpitudg” is all the State Department has to fall desk upon to hold him out. - Now comes Gen. Reyes—former Prosidont of Colombia—aleo « a weluntary exile from his country. He, too, is accused of plundering te the public purse, he also put to death one Ortiz—not for bearing arms j tm @ revolution, but for a political conspiracy—and his record {a evon iy Jess savory than Castro’s. ; Will he be welcomed as an honored guost, or will he join Castro t on Jillis Island? ooo | THE FOOLISH WAITERS. i HE public is, after all, a patient, indulgent, justice-loving pub- | lic, with a quick sympathy for the man who is getting the worst of it, and a wish to see those who servo its needs and Pleasure well treated and happy. All along it has been more than dalton the side of tho hotel and restaurant waiters in their effort to get better working conditions and better pay. But the public is not ail kinds of a fool. It is « pretty keen judge of docency, fairness and common sense. ’ When the wrongs of the striking waiters found voice in the coun- el of Joseph G. Ettor “to make it unsafe for capitalist guests to eat” the public heard with incredulous amazement and indignation, ' Now that the waiters applaud the advice of Miss Elizabeth Gurley 2 g Flynn to make affidavits of the foulness of the food they serve, to “inform the guest who sits down to a dainty dinner that ite daintiness rose out of a vile spot like « lily out of # mud pool,” and that it is “one-fifth poison and four-fifths covering up of poison,” the public is not only indignant but thoroughly disgusted as well. : In the first place, it does not believe these sickening tales. In 4 the second place, it begins to distrust the spirit that prompte them. |. If the waiters are foolishly and recklessly bent on sullying their own nest, degrading themselves and their case, they are on the right road. But let them expect no more sympethy. ey WHERE ARE THE OLD-TIME WINTERS? 4 ANUARY half gdwe end where is winter? Nothing yet even approaching sero weather. The Hudson is open. The river boats ave still running to Albany. The grass in Central Park is as green as if it were April. Cold waves are half-hearted affairs, ashamed to hang about more than twenty-four hours, Europe has had no severe weather. Black fog descended upon London two days , ago with “frost.” But what the English call “frost” is often only a * mild 25 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit. The Atlantic, to be sure, has been breezy and restless enough; but what has become of tho famous old land winters of bitter cold and terrible snows? What has happened : te our fino old Western blizzards that it used to make one ehivor only to read about?

During the last censue our cattle decreased 6,500,000 head. So that while our population increased 21 per cent., our cattle decreased tn nuinber 4.7 per cent. In 190 there wag in the United States one sheep for every citizen, in 200 only four to ten persons. In ten years the number of sheep growers decreased, 182,000, In ten years the number of calves fell from 15,000,000 to 7,000,000, (Perhage @ Jaw preventing the killing of calves and lambs for three years would eglve the meat problem.) How can we sustam our rapidly growing population with @ steadily declining food supply? Remedying the serious condition of our agriew: tural life ie as tmportant as an investigation of the Beef Trust. Woe submit that national aid for the promotion of agriculture fe the question that needs our most rerious thought. For the ‘food supply is a matter of prime importance.
