to chemical analysis, In order 10 test tnelr pu-
r1ty, and that thus far not one or the sam
pies has been found to be free from adutera-
tons. The principal substances used In adul-
teratine are glucose, tin and muriatic acid, and
their use is asserted to be injurious
to health. The refners claim, 1t Is
understood, that the murate OF TN,
formed in the process of manufacture, Is
eliminated before the final stage, and that the
sugar is chemically pure. The representatives
of the Government, however, point to the re-
suits of these analyses as proof OF the
unsoundness of this claim. This is
matter Ill which the Government has an
interest which is represented now by an
alleged loss III revenues annually OF about five
millions; but if the official statements are
correct, there is a question involved beside
which that of, a few millions more or less
of revenue sinks into insigniicance. Our
Boards OF Health can have no ex-
cuse for allowing the sale of deleterious artl-
cles of food, after the facts have been called
to their attention which they ought to have
discovered. 1t may be that the charges OF
the Government experts will not be sustained
but the subject deserves investigation, at
least.
In his dispatch in reply TO Lord salisbury's
note, Mr.. Eyarts protested against the exer-
else of provincial control over our fishermen, and
declared that $50 grave question Ill Its bear
| ling upon the obligations of this Government
under the treaty, makes it necessary that
the President should ask from Her Majesty
Government q frank avOwal or disavOwal OF
d" the paramount authority of provincial legls-
citation to regulate the enjoyment by orr
"peOple of the inshore fishery, which seems
"to be intimated, if not asserted, in
Lord Salisbury's note" In his re-
ply, published to-day, the British For
eign Minister contends that some super
vision is absolutely necessary to prevent
anarchy, but substantially comedies all that Mr.
Evarts required when he says: Her MaJesty's
Government will readily admit, WHAT indeed
"self-evident, that British sovereignty as re-
CARDS these matters is limited in its scope
"by the engagements of the Treaty of Wash
"ingtOn, which cannot be modified or affected
"by any municipal legislation" Having made
this necessary admission, he goes on to say
that eff a law has been inadvertently
"passed, which is in any degree, or respect,
|" at variance with rights conferred on n for
=" eign Power, by treaty, the correction of the
mistake, as committed, at the earliest period
after Its existence shall have been ascertalned
"and recognized, is matter of international
obligation" This removes all doubt as to
the position of the British Government upon
this point, and the joint convention which
MIR. Eyarts suggested is now only needed to
assure our fishermen ample protection.

General Di CesnOla's second lecture, the
most important portions of which are given
on another page, dealt with the sources of the
arts of Cyprus as disclosed by the remains
found among the ruins on the island. The dis

the arts and customs of Cyprus naturally
brought great number of interesting topics
under review.

The opinion of the Deputy Attorney-Gen-
eral that the trustees of the Manhattan Saw
ings Institution have no right to pay ransom
for the stolen bonds out of the bank funds, is
as sound in justice as Mr.. Ruggles be-
lieves it to be in law. The robbery
owed its triumphant success to carelessness
on the part of the officials of the bank, and
the least they can do is to pay out of their
own pockets the fine which the robbers have
inflicted. The Dock Commissioners this very
week have made good the sum stolen
by a defaulter, although it was by no
means clear that they were morally responsible
for his good behavior, and it was entirely clear
that they we're not legally responsible. 1t is a
good fashion to set for people who undertake to
administer large trusts, and even if the law
did not require it, the public would be glad
to see the officials of the Manhattan Bank
follow it.

Yesterdays session of the International HUI
name Society, which is another name for a
convention of Mr.. Bergh's societies, was made
noticeable by a singular announcement from
one of the officers that he had purposely
refrained from inviting a single clergyman
of Baltimore to the meeting, because " they
"dIffer so much in their views generally that
che thought their presence might break up the
"harmOny of the society,"" Mr. Bergh himself
also reflected very severely upon the cloth. 1t
will astonish good many excellent men to dis
cover that they are regarded as such lnveterate
disturbers Of the peace that they have been
excluded on that account from all participa-
ton in the meeting of peculiarly benevolent
society, but they may console themselves with
the reflection that this same society refused
TO take children under their protection, resolv-
ing to confne themselves exclusively to the relief
of animals in distress Why this was done is
clear enough. of course, but Mr.. Bergh ought
to justify himself, if he can, on the other point,
by proving to what extent clergymen are
looked upon as a dangerous class in the COM
munity, and submitting o schedule of the
meetings they have turned into riots during
the last year.

promise made our readers on the first of

Judge Peters has just rendered de
cision of interest with reference to the
status of some of the western counties.
A crime was committed in Browns
Grove, Ness county, by a man named
Ruth. That county, although organic
ed. has as yet no officers, and the offend
er was brought before a justice Of the
peace of PawBee county for trial. The
constitution provides that new or un.
organized counties shall be attached, for
judicial purposes, TO the most ccaVen.
lent judicial district" Ness was thus
attached 10 Pawnee, but the question OF
Jurisdiction was raised because it was
claimed that the certificate Of organize
ton from the Secretary of State severed
that relation between the two counties
Judge Peters decided that Ness, though
organized, but without Ofsicers was ju
diciaiiy attached to Pawnee, and that in
consequences, the Justice of the Peace
had jurisdiction. He therefore remand
ed Ruth to Jail to await Trial at the reg
ular term of the istrict dcourt. ibis

APPRAISENIENT.

A petition is being circulated and
signed by a number of our citizens
here, stating that the Kaw land APP
praisement is too low and ought to be
raised. We have declined TO sign any
such petition, because we would rather
have settlers get land at $3.50 per acre,
than pay five to ten dollars and have
a large per cent go into the pockets of
Indian claim agents, contractors, &c.
No matter how much or how little mon
ey is realized from the sale of the land,
it will mainly go to satisfy claims held
by white spectators against the Indi-
ans, and we are for the settlers
against the contractor, every time. We
hope the Secretary of the Interior will
hold to the present appraisement and LEI
the settlers have the land at low rates

REPIIRLICANs- no WORK.

Every effort is now being made by
Democrats and their aideTs and abettors,
the sO-called Greenbackers. to disorgan-
ize and scatter the Republican party.
All sorts of falsehoOds and ISLANDERS up
ON the Republican party are being re-
sorted 10, and it seems evident that IN
less Republicans stand firm considera-
BILE losses will be sustained in their vote
this fall. Men are engaged in this work
in this county who owe all they are,
whatever of political prominence they
have attained, to the Republicans of
this county, and none know better than
they that the charges they make against
the party are pure fabricatiOns. We
have no objections 10 men running for
Office, but they ought 10 run on their
merits, and not ON attempts to throw
dust in the eyes of the public, by SIAN
dering those who differ with them.
Are the Republicans aware that siren
nous efforts are being made in this cOun.
" to put men in the legislature who will
vote for Democrat, or those who are
aiding the Democrats, for United States
Senator the coming winter? Do we

this we must bestir ourselves.
We ask a comparison of the tickets
and platforms. The Republican party
has taken che position the people ask II
10 take. It always has been and is the
party of the people. Is the GreenbacE
ticket, which will receive the Democrat

Not one whit better. Is the Greenback

No one can read the details of the vel
low fever scourge in the south, which
we print elsewhere, without being deeply
moved by the sad, terrible story. The
least we can do is to extend the hand of
sympathy and aid, and no one should
fail to respond to the effort our must
clans are making to help the sufferers.
Emporia will undoubtedly follow the ex-
ample of most of our Kansas cities and
villages and contribute generously on
Monday evening. Buy tickets, whether
YOU go to the concert or not.
