CHANCE IN ADDRESS-When ordering a change in the addre-i.t-ub-criljers Rhould be sure to ri vu their old as well as their new address. General Kuropatkinski will have to hurry if he eats his Christmas dinner in Tokio this year. Election is past and the football season gone and winter coming. Not mnch to live for any more. Wo are hoping that somebody around Port Arthur will get licked pretty goon and end this awful suspense. Sir Thomas Lipton will have to take off his hat to Patrick E. McKillip. Sir Thomas nevor. after defeat, smil ed so broadly or shooK the hands of his opponents so warmly as Patrick E. McKillip has, since his unmerciful drubbing at the hands of Congressman McCarthy. Senator-elect Hugh Hughes and Postmaster Kramer were down from Columbus on Monday, coming down to see their friends and rejoice over the election results. Mr. Hughes did not carry Colfax county, but no carried Platte by -ISS and that when the fu sion htato ticket had about SUOjnajnr ity, so ho had cause to feel well over his heme endorsement. Ho proved to bo an exceptionally strong candidate as ho was so well known up there and is a man of many friends. He was in the lumber business for nearly thirty years there and his relations with the people was very pleasant as a business man as well as personally. He is a Welshman and when hero was anxious to sec onr David Jenkins, whom ho heard was also of that nationality and it would be a pleasure for those two to meet and have a talk. Schuyler Free Lance.

Tho farmers havo pocketfnls of money to spend for the necessaries and com forts of life. Tli9 qcestion is, where will they spend it? Will they spend it at the post office for money orders to send to tho cntaloguo houses, or will they spend it with the home mer chants, where thev can buy better goods for less money? It is a safe guess that the most of it will bo spent with the home merchant who advertises. Nearly every home in Platre county last week got a copy of the Jonrnal, containing special offers from Columbus merchants that cannot be duplicated in any mail cata logue house in the land. Thoso who read those offers will think twice be fore they sign a money order applica tion to send money out cf the county. It is a strange fact thai tho farmer Borne times forgets that the money he spends with the home merchants goes to built! the buildings that employ the help that makes a steady market for the product of the farm ; and that the price of his land is high in proportion as it is near the home market which ho helps to tear down every time he sends a money order to a foreign mer chant. . XEEDED LEGISLATIOX. If our legislature will do as ninety nine per cent of their constituency, regardless of party, would have them do. they will go on record against the political pass and they will appoint a commission to make a thorough in vestigation of Nebraska freight and passenger rateo. This investigation should not be made in a spirit of hostility against the railroads, but in a spirit of fair ness. If passenger mileage cannot be re duced to 2 cents and if freight rates cannot be reduced to a parity with rates in eastern states, the people shonld know why. The value of railroad property seems to have depreciated since the max imam freight rate law was declared nnconstitntionaL Perhaps with the lower railroad valnes and the greatly increased business in Nebraska, tail same law would be constitntionaL At all events, the people want a straightforward investigation of the rate question. The action of the railroads aince lection,, in resisting their tax, has exonerated the republican party front the charge that the was passed in the interest oi tho rail roads. If the next lesislaturo will go into the freight rate question, and will express themselves in no uncer tain way on the political pass system, they will not only perform a service due the people of Nebraska bat they will forever still that false charge that republican party. in Nebraska is a "railroad tooL" And whatever this legislature may do they should not forget that tho interests of the pro ducers and the railroads are identical and they should be friendly. THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY. What ticket will former democrats vote at the next election? Just at present nobody knows. Cleveland and Hill have failed to prove their title as prophets of the real democracy; and failed even more lamentably than Mr. Bryan did. About the oniy safe guess at this time seems to be that in the next national division of parties the democratic party name will be appro priated by the so-called Bryan wing, which is to say the radical, popnlistic element of the old democratic party. Whether Eryan is again tho candidate, or whether it is Hearst, or another unknown picked np and nominated with an emergency clause, it will bo some one representing the element of discontent and he will be nominated on some revolutionary platform, whether free silver or some later dis covery. That is, if present conditions and sentiment continue. The floating vote of tho cities will be largely attracted to such a plat form, bnt what will become of the conservative democratic voter? The Cleveland democracy cannot repeat the Palmer and Buckcer play, because they have had their inning and have filed to mako good, even with Mr. Bryan helping them out to tho b?st of his ability. If they voto nt all, and vote their sentiments, thov must voto with the republican party. This is one of the influences that will keep Platte county in tho repub lican column. The majority of tho voters of this community aro of the conservative class. Thoy will nat urally go to the party where tho con servative element of tho democratic party will go. And it is very certain that that will not bo tho party com manded by Mr. Bryan and Mr. Hearst. Barring the prohibitionists and social ists, there is jnst one party left and that is tho conservative party the party of Roosevelt. THE CANNING FACTORY. Since the departure yesterday of M. B. Miller, the promoter of tho canning factory, tho Jonrnal has been asked by many if the canning factory will really go, or if it has been dropped. We can answer this question only from the opinions of bnsiness mou who have interested themselves in the enterprise. These men havo suggested that thoy aro anxious to invest in n canning factory, provided they can get a properly equipped factory at a reasonable price and secure tho servico of a competent man to run it. Thoy realizo that if tho Hastings Industrial company represented by Mr. Miller, is a reputable company, that from a business standpoint, it could not afford to mako any other than an honest proposition. Thoy know, also, that this company has eqnipped successful factories at St. Paul and several other places in Ne braska. M. D. Karr has known Mr. Miller personally for many years and can vouch for his integrity. L. F. Phillipps has seen the St. Paul factory in successful operation. Tho further investigation necessary to determine the standing of the company can bo made in a few days, and doubtless will be made by those interested. The business men know that delays are dangerous, and that if they delay long, Mr. Miller may be invited to establish a plant at Schayler or some other neighboring city. If this is done he knows that Colnmbns mer chants will soon be bnying their canned goods from Schnyler, while ihey will lose the trade of the factory employees, and that the city as a whole will be the loser. These considerations lead them to the conclusion that tho progressive business men of Columbus will not allow this great industry to slip away from them by foolish delay, but will make prompt and full investigation end then organize. THE CONTEST. The following named young ladies have been entered as contestants for the beautiful Journal piano : Mary Wilson. Colnmbns, Lottie Becher, Columbus. Metta Henslcy, Columbus. Leona Harbart, Creston. The names are civen in the order in which they were entered. The Erst announcement of the vote will be made through the Daily Jonrnal, jiext Saturday, Dec. 3. At no time during the contest will any comment be mail concerning the age or occupation of any contestant, or any other comment tending to give one contestant advan tage over any other. The prospects are good for the most lively contest ever made for a piano in Platte coun ty. It is not so much the idea of getting a piano for a small expendi ture of timo and labor that attracts the young ladies, as it is the idea of getting a high-grade Story & Clark in strument that would be an ornament in the most aristocratic home of any city. There is yet another reason why a large vote will be cast in this contest. The Journal is offering special con test subscription rates. It is as much to the subscriber's interest to sab scribe or to pay an advance subscrip tion now as it is to the contestant to get the vote. When a contestant so licits a subscription, she is not com pelled to say, "Help mo out," but rather, "Let me help you out." To fully appreciate the beauty and richness of tone of the Journal piano, it must be seen and heard. The free concerts at Grays every Saturday afternoon are attracting crowds. After you see the Jonrnal piano and hear it, send in two or three hundred votes for one of the young ladies named in today's Journal, or for another young lady to whom yon would like to see the piano go. THE MEAT TRUST. For several months, Mr. Moody, Sc rctary of the Department ot Com merce and Labor bos been collecting evidence relative to the operations of .he so-called " 'packers trust. " Mr. M ody's investigations have been made qn etly and not in the spirit of hostil ity to the packing industry. Whether thoy shall be made public depends up on the discretion of the President and Mr. Moody. The law which permits the investigation does not compel the publication of the result of the in vestigation. President Roosevelt can be relied upon, however, to make the investigation public if the public good demands such a course. And the gen eral belief is that the lecent thorough investigation, made possible by the Elkins' law and the law organizing the department of Commerce and La bor, has uncovered transactions on the part of the packers, which President Roosevelt will deem best not only to make public, but also to prosecute as violations of the Sherman anti-trust law. The public should not; overlook the great economies, the great benefits brought to them by the big packing houses. Their development on the scientific side has been scarcely less than their wonderful industrial de velopment. They havo brought out tho best scientists from the greatest laboratories to teach them how to make money out of products, formerly waste. And while tho packers have made money by the utilizing of these wasto products, scientific research has been stimulated and the pnblic has received immeasurable benefits. On tho other hand it is American government. American schools, Ameri can skill, American standards of liv ing that have made tho packers' ex istence and wonderfel organization possible. The public's interest- in the oieratiou of tho packing houses is, therefore, greater thni that of any individual parker. And when the packers either by en advantage of geographical position or by illegal dis crimination in rai:ro:::l rates are able to conspire to drive out tho small competitors and thus make tho price of meat both to the consumer and to tho producer it is time for the public to assert its superior interest. There shonld bo no monopoly in the K' nt business and thoi" could be none without rebates or unjust discrimin ations in freight rotor A fair field and an open ficbt is all that is needed in the packing businu.F. It is to be hoped that tho investi gation under dtscnssin-i will be made public before the clo.-o of the next session of Concress. Ir is not enough that the packers lit prosecuted, if goilty. The causo which makes pos-t-ililo the nnlawtnl combination shonll 1)3 removed. That mo.se is freight rata discrimination. Congress can go far toward remov ing the ranso by granting to the In terstate Commerce Commission the rv.vcr to enforce their own findings, 1 tower which the commission in its Inst report most emphatically demands. If republican cocgressmea will not work in this direction, they need not bo surprised to find their places filled iu a few years by men elected on a government ownership" platform. THE OLD COMPLAINT. "John O.VanHousen was slaughter ed for senator by tho Platte county democrat8,and while it was not antici pated it is not surprising, as that is the old game up there. Those fellows aro loyal to nobody and always have a deal on to elect a Platte county man. List year they traded off Judge Grim ison and this year it was Senator Van Honsen. A county that gave McKillip 711 for congress, Bergo 874 for gover nor and 400 democratic for the state ticket shonld hardly turn around and slaughter their nominee for senator by 4S8. The democrats of Colfax county can do a little thinking in the mean time. "Schuyler Free Lance. For the informaion of the editor of tho Free Lance we will explain that Platte county did not trade Van Hon sen for Hughes. Hagh Hughes has been in business in Platte county for thirty years. In that time he has transacted business with nearly every voter in the county. These men are all his friends. They could not have been bribed to vote against him. As to trades in general in Platte county, not a single candidate on the repub lican ticket was traded. The vote &iven to Berge and McKillip while be low what has beeu claimed as Platte county's normal democratic majority, was given them not through trades but because they made a personal cam paign and spant thousands of dollars. The real explanation is that there are fewer democrats in Platte county than there used to be. And if the republi cans here continue to nominate candi dates like llugh Hughes and the rest cf this year's ticket, the editor of the Free Lance will soon forget that Platte was ever a democratic county. SMOKERS DULL PUPILS. It is well known that smokers are aull pupils in school. Any boy under eighteen yars of age who is addicted to the nse of tobacco or cigarettes might as well give up the hope of competing with the non-smoker. He may attain a certain proficiency, but ho will never equal the boy of no greater ability who does not use the weed. No doubt many teachers could pass through class rooms and nick out the tobacco users. Athletics has taken hold of some boys and caused them to abandon the weed. Some months ago an investigation was made in the town of Kokomo, Indiana, and it was found that more than one-third of the boys in school smoked or had smoked. The smokers averaged one year older than the non-smokers, and the regular smokers were two years behind the non-smokers. This was true through out the grades. An apparent exception was noted in the high school where the divergence in age did not increase as might be expected. This was ex plained upon the ground that the smokers had dropped cut of school be fore reaching the high school, and that smokers in the nigh school had not been addicted to the habit when in the grades. The investigation showed a great lorn to the pupils. Sap't W. M. Kern in Nebraska Teacher. THE CAXNING INDUSTRY. A brief history of the canning in dustry, written by Wm. E. Curtis for tha Chicago Record-Herald, May '.). 1003, will be of interest to Journal readers at this time. "J. W. Dutton of Valparaiso, Jnl., suggests that the canning industry furnishes material for a very interest ing article, which is true, and if we begin at the beginning we find that prior to 1795 drying and the use of salt and sugar were the only methods of preserving food. In that year Nich olas Appert, a Frenchman who had spent most of his life in the business, being stimulated by the offer of a re ward by tho French government for a method of preserving food fot lea ser vice, invented what is now known as hermetic sealing, which has since besn applied to all kinds of fruit, vegeta bles and meats, the object to inclose the fruit in a perfectly sealed jar or case from which the air is expelled. France purchased Appert's proces and gave it to tho pnblic. By this means the industry spread over Europe and was brought to America in 1S18 by Peter Purant, who. in company with Thomas Kensett, went into the bns iness of preserving salmon and lobsters. Thoy ware able to put up about 150 cans a day. Tho first fruit canning in America was dune by William Underwood and Charles Mitchell, who had been em ployed in canning factories in England and came to Boston for tho purpose of starting an establishment for the man ufacture of pickles, jellies, jams and mustard. They also canned damsons. qainccs, currants and different kinds of berries. In 1825 Kensett secured :i patent for tho use of tin cans as n substitute for glass jars, which bud bren used exclusively up tn that time. Since then tin has been the favorite material for cans. In early days cniis worn maun entirely by hand, tho bodies Iv-ing cut out witb shears r.m! tho joints soldered. In 1817 Allen Taylor invented a machine for making them, which bns been im proved upon until now they aro matte from Bessemer steel plates by a sxngln process nt a trifling prico. " Machine t-hown at the recent exposition will turn out from 30. COO to 35.0C0 a day, r.nrt I am informed that the American Can Company, one of the great trasts, organized in 1901 with a capital cf $88,000,000, has an ontputof more ikon 1,000,000,000 every vear. In order to avoid all dancer of poison by chemical action, before nse the cans are sub ject rd to baths in acids and oils. Until I84C verv little frnit, lobsters, oysters and salmon were preserved. The canning of corn began simul taneously at Portland, Mo., and Balti more in a small way. In 1847 Harri son VV. Crosby, steward of Lafayetto college, eastern Pennsylvania, pat np tho first tomatoes. In J 850 tho busi ness received great advertisement be cause large quantities of frnit, veg tables, meats and fish were preserved in hermetically sealed canB at Newark, N. J. for Dr. Kane's arctic expedi tion, and by I860 canning establish ments wero common throughout tho eastern states. The methods used were crude and imperfect and tho work was all done by bond. Now-a-days, everything, even to the box ing of the goods, is done by steam or electricity. The first cannery west of the Alleghany mountains was estab lished at Circleviile, Ohio, in 1S73. The largest cannery of vegetables and fruits is at Pittsburg, which cov ers 18,000 acres, and 2.800 employees are now engaged in forty-seven differ ent establishments. Baltimore is the center of the canning industry. The following table will give some idea of the volume of the canning trade: Number of establishments in United States, 2,195; capital employ ed 18,497,978; value of land occupied, 3,554.986; value of buildings, S,070.- 574; value of tools and machinery. $10,113,482; salaried officials, 2.47S; employees, 52,590; annual wages. $12,910,447 ; cost of materials anually, 153,305,055; value of products, 50, 068,343. The canning of fruit and vegetables is by far the largest branch of the industry, engaging S3 per cent of the people employed, 60 per cent of the a capital and wages, and furnishing nearly 70 per cent of the product. Fish rank second and oysters third. The ten states having the largest number of establishments and furn ishing the largest output of canned goods, not including meats, are as follows (giving number of establish ments and value of annual product) : California, 136, $13,081,829; Mary land. 271, $11,996,245; New York, 511, $8,975,321; Illinois, 61. $3,730, 030; Indiana, 60, $2,5S9,90S; New Jersey. 73, $2,199,176; Ohio, 70, $1,941,398; Delaware, 51, $1,570,790; Iowa, 26. $1,359,953; Maine, 59, $1,335,671. COLUMBINES. Port Arthur, thank the Lord, has not fallen for some days now. We hear that onr old friend How aid has resigned from the fire depart ment. A great many good people think they are writing novels when in fact they are writing sermons. The Rev. Thomas Dixon is one of them. Roosevelt and Parker can refuse in advance any presidential nominations that may come seeking them, if they want to, but as far as we are concern ed we refuse to make any such rash vow. We cannot remember that we ever heard two sweet things joyously dis cussing the shortcomings of another, that they didn't both end up with a declaration of how much they liked her.
