this American senate declared that an

Mr.. Blaine In reply, read from a
Raleigh paper, to the effect that this
was a white mans government, and
that white men should rule 1t. But
they didn't intend that the negro should
be deprived Of the right of suffrage as
the south gained in representation, on
account Of such right to the negro.
Blaine said he indicted the democratic
party as the foe of free speech and as
the life long foe Of free elections In the
south.

Mr. CHALMERS, Of Mississippi, thinks
the way to democratic success Is to pre-
vent the officers and contractors un-
der the government from contributing
money for campaign purposes. Well,
1t was democratic president, Andrew
Jackson, who established the precedent
of parcellng out offices, on the specious
plea that ito the victors belong the
spoiis. =" That precedent was most re-
ligiously followed by the democratic
party 30 long as it was in power.

Joy and delight. but want other lotteries abol-

lotteries have offices in st. Louis and sell hun

think this ought to be stopped. and call on the
police and authorities to put an end to the lot

than probable they will do. This business

the presidents of the convention. with the ex-
ception Of two or three, were journalists. and
most oof them persisted on the scaffold.
Among the Royalist journals which appeared
atohe commencement of the revolution was
the Acts Of the APOSTLES. which was started
in 1889. The first number was dated "Year
of Liberty" and one of its articles says
six months ago Louis was master of
24,ooo,00O subjects. but now he is the only
subject Of $4,000, 900 kings" The fourth news
paper on Mr.. Scholl's list is the Defender Of
The Constellation, which had Macmillan Ro-
bespierre for chief editor. It first appeared
in June 1899, and advocated Conser 9,tive
principles. journal No. s, called The Patriotic

The New York Chamber Of Commerce has
been discussing, quite excitedly, the question
OF Determinations In freight rates against
that city. The facts and figures produced by
1T are conclusive proof OF great loss OF busl-
ness on the part of New York, although it is
doubtful whether this loss is not owing to The
greater inducements and facilities that other
ports offer Western trade, rather than to the
discrimination of the railroads and vessels
against New York. Among the facts sub
mitted to prove falling off in the business
was q table showing the decrease in the guests
ut the hotels Of the city. There were, the
table shows. 1000 visitors to New York In
1906 1885, 900 In 1871, 900 In 1874, and only
$4,000 last year. Such decrease of visit
ors is ample cause for the excitement that
the New York Chamber of Commerce shows
In discussing the loss Of trade by Manhattan
This loss of visitors is not owing to q de-
crease In hotel facilities, for these have been
greatly increased In the past few years; nor
is 1t owing to the panic, since the decrease be-
gan years before financial troubles visited
this country; New York is certainly a more
attractive place, and at the same time a more
economical place to visit than ten years ago.
The fact, therefore, that but one-third as
many people visit it now as in 1866 may be
taken as proof Of decreasing business,
which will be more thoroughly felt and ap
preciated in half a dozen years than 1t Is
tn-day

Tha%Boston papers began war some time
ago on the adulteration of articles OF food.
The stories told of these authorizations, and
Of how universal and dangerous they were
sounded somewhat sensational and majority
of those who read the papers undoubtedly
pronounced these stories newspaper sensa-
tions." The grand jury. however, thought
proper to Investigate the matter and reported
that they found the charges to a great extent
true, and that many articles Of food, and
candy In particular were dangerously adul-
terated with slow but certain poisons.
Nor does the matter rest here, for Herbert
Chase. a Boston confeetioner. has just been
found guilty of mnrderous offence in
using chromate of lead to color his
candy vivid yellow. Chase could not
deny the use OF the iead-his candy bore
testimony against him-but defended himself
on the ground that The coloring matter was
not poisonous, and that even if it were the
use OF chronlate of lead had become general
in the eonfectioners' business, so that he was
only following precedent in using it. The
