you will look at the clause defining the mode l of amending that instrument, you will find a very remarkable exception made to the pow CT of amendment. It is specially provided l that mo State without it's consent shall ever be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Sen ate.' This, you remember, was the guaran- l tee of equality required by the smaller States as condition precedent to entering the Union. On every other subject three -fourths of the States can amend the Constitution, but equality in the Senate cannot be changed ex- cept by unanimous consent. I know" con
 tinued Senator Blaine, 'sit may be contended
 that ex-Presidents as Senators-at Large
 would be held to represent one State as much
 as another, and therefore there would be no
 interference with equal suffrage in the Sen

 practice and in fact the ex-President would
 be third Senator from his own State. :"
 Last winter the National Board of Trade
 planned competition for ''the best act or
 acts, accompanied by an essay, designed to prevent injurious adulteration, and to regu- late the sale of food without imposing un- AASSSooNAy thousand dollars were offered in prizes and a committee of award was appointed This committee has made it's report and awards the first prize to G. w. Wigner, F. c. S., of London. It also reports that none of the essayists produce any definite or satisfactory evidence as to the widespread existence of very dangerous adulterations in this country The absence of such evidence, in addition to the results recently obtained by several ex- pert chemists in extensive series of analyses of the usual articles of food in this country, the committee thinks, warrants it in declar- ing that none of the staple articles of food or drink are so commonly adulterated as to be dangerous to health or life. Such dangerous adulterations appear to be mainly in the form of poisonous colors or coloring matters, as, for instance, in confectionery, and even these are rare. The question of the adulteration of food, with, perhaps the exception of milk, should therefore be considered not so much from sanitary standpoint as from that of commercial interests; as being in the nature of fraud, in aiding the sale of articles which are not what they are represented to be. The committee is of the opinion that there is much more danger to health and life in this country from adulterated drugs than from adulterated food, and that any legislation which is to deal with the one should also deal with the other

Colonization.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The New England States have surplus of
 workingmen, many of whom would make
 successful farmers if they could get fair start. They have the tact, will, energy and a strong desire, but little or no capital. The Irish have sent out several colonies. The
 Church in some sections has lent helping hand to the worthy poor. Its object in so
 doing is not to be questioned The result to
 the poor is good. The Hebrews of New York have not only given land, but furnished
 equipments and paid the fare in many cases.
 The Germans also have been active in help
 ing their worthy poor, and so far as I know
 no colony has been 8 failure. A colony at
 Cullman Alabama, composed mostly of Germans from Chicago, is a forcible
 example of the advantages of colonization.
 It was speculation formed by one man, and is very successful, even though located on poor land There is proof enough to con vince any one that a colony composed of good, steady, thrifty men will prove a good paying investment to the capitalist. And I believe that if capitalists will investigate the subject they will take the matter in hand. Try a small select colony first take only first-class men, who can furnish S2OO; select ten families; secure good location have few simple rules, and the result will be home to them and money in the purse of the capitalists. Will not some one or more men who can spare the money study the subject There is a vast amount of talk about benefit ing the workingman. Will some of those who talk so much about it do something practical I guarantee to convince any of them that it will pay better than bonds There is no need to go to the far West to succeed best. There are many places away east of the Father of Waters that offer equal advantages to those beyond. For myself let me say that I am not land agent, have no interest in any land except a small farm in Delaware, which is not for sale Ihave been a farmer Gin my dreams) forssfve years, and at last see my way clear to be one in reality. I have worked for it, but if can help others on the way by my experience or advice I will gladly do so. Beyond the wish to help others have no interest in the matter. To any one wanting information that can give either on colonization or buying for oneself, I will give it cheerfully. w.
