The evils of food adulteration have be-
come so conspicuous that public senti-
ment everywhere demands decisive legis-
lstion on the subject. Some of the States
have already enacted restrictive laws,
and this winter others will undoubtedly
follow their example. 1t is high time
that the sale of vile compounds to I'M
suspecting consumers should be stopped
in every State. To run the risk of sick
ness from eating impure articles, and to
be swindIed at the same time, is little
more than the average citizen can en-
dure without vigorous protest. The
American people favor fair dealing.
They believe in calling things by their
right names. If each individual must
eat his peck of dirt, let him at least
have the privilege of selecting the
dirt; and so of other substances more
harmful. The Wisconsin Legislature is
the first, thus far, during the present
winter to consider this class of frauds;
and from the manifest temper of that
body, the trade in bogus butter. bogus
honey and other unwholesome mixtures,
will not flourish hereafter in the Badger
State. 1t Is proposed that limitations of
food articles shall be branded and sold
as such. All the States, probably, will
soon have similar statutes. No other
legislation is needed. People simply
want to know what they are buying, and
this they have right to know.
Our own State Legislature in this mat
ter might well follow the example OF
that of Wisconsin.

That stsunch, Conservative Denccra-
tic paper, the Baltimore Gazette, does
not approve the course of the Democra-
tic Senators who voted to retain the in
terloper Kellogg in his seat in that body.
The Gazette says: kellogg, of Louisi
ana, was chosen to the Senate four years
ago by body Of men who did not sit in
the capitol of the State, q part Of them
were never chosen as Senators or Repre-
sentatives, and there was no quorum OF
members. 1t was Hota Legislature. Three
years ago the Republican United States
Senate found these facts, and voted that
Kellogg was not entitled to seat in that
body. But two years ago, when the
Republicans found that they were losing
control Of the Senate, they voted to adj
NIT Kellogg, who was not elected by the
Legislature of Louisiana When the
Democrats got control of the Senate,
Kellogg's case very properly came up
for consideration. 1t has been hanging
in that body for two years, and now ten
Democratic Senator'S vote to retain Kel-
logg in his seat, though he has no legal
rights there. 1t is such weakness that
defeats the Democratic party, which
greatly needs an able leader.
With all due Difference to the Demo
cratic Senators who voted to keep Kel-
logg in q seat TO which he has no more
right than Mad Wells or Eliza Pinkston,
we are constrained to concur in opinion
with the Gazette. The question
of Kellogg's right to his pres
ent position is one of simple fact.
law and right, and should long since
have been decided on its legal merits.
He is either duly elected and qualified
Senator of the State of Louisiana, or he
is not. If he is, he should be permitted
to disgrace that body until the expiration
of the term for which he was elected. If
he is not, be should be promptly expelled,
regardless of Radical precedents or the
pleas of 'fGliuHds" and ''res GdjHdicdtd, .
Of which the country has had enough.

In his inaugural message, Governor
CrittendeS, of Missouri, took most de-
cided ground in favor of the enactment
of liberal laws and their fearless enforce
ment against all violators, and he
promised that, as the Executive of the
State, he should insist upon the punish.
ment of all law breakers, without "fear,
favor, or affection" The Governor has
reference, more particularly, no doubt,
to the gangs of desperadoes who have
frequently robbed railroad trains, and
sometimes banks in Western States.
1t is commonly known that these
gangs, or rather the one that Is believed
to be the most desperate and active
of them all-that headed by the
notorious James brothers-fnd shelter
and protection in Missouri. In one sec
ton OF the State, the man who has an
ambition for political preference under
stands that he must not advocate the en-
forcement of the laws against the James
brothers, if he would not destroy his
prospect of success. These notorious
brothers have numerous friends and re-
lauves, whose influence is invariably
exerted in their behalf The news
papers have even spoken in defense of
these desperadoes. 1t is to be hoped
that Governor Crittenden will have the
courage to carry out his promise that
ono political affiliations" or influences
shall protect any violators Of the law
under his administration.

The New York Sun holds that Blaine
is not going into the State Department
as a mere igure-head. He will exercise
the directing power and enjoy the
patronage to which his rank in the
party, his following in the country, and
his pre- eminent services to the new
President, entitle him. The Secretary
of State will again assume the headship
in the Cabinet His relations to the
Presidentelect are strikingly like those
of Mr.. Seward to President Lincoln.
He was himself the real choice of the
party for the nomination; he is keen,
aggressive politician, of original concep
tons and fertile in expedients; and he
has been designated as the head of the
Cabinet almost from the day Of the cleo
ton. All OF which proves that the willy
imperial fox got his tail caught in a steel
trap in the treaty Of Mentor; and that if
he is not finally knocked in the head and
done for, it will be because there is no
axe handy with which Blaine can hit
him the finishing blow.

concerned the Senate is to be satisfied

Senator Browns SwallOW-TaiIed
Coat.

The Washington Star having pub
hshed the current joke about Senator
Joe Browns swallow-tailed coat, which
was given by our Washington cores
pendent, feels called upon to make some
corrections Of the story as published by
its reporter. The Star says; while
his narrative was exceedingly accurate
in the main, he was misinformed In one
or two particulars. Thus it is stated
that Senator Hill and Senator Brown
have not attended fashionable dinner
together since this session began, and
we are informed further that
Senator Browns swallow tail was
made at one of our most
fashionable tailoring establishments
and is considered most perfect fit, and
was not made of heavy beaver cloth.
There is point in the Senator's dress,
however, that is peculiar He all the
time in the winter wears a high-cut vest,
buttoned up closely around his breast. on
account of the fact that he suffers with
bronchitis and is obliged to protect his
breast in that manner. Otherwise it is
believed there is nothing peculiar in the
dress of the Senator. AS he has been
considerable of a traveller, we under
stand he is not entirely unfamiliar with
the use of the swallow-tail."

Naturally, the Pacific coast is more in
terested in the new Chinese treaty than
any other section of the country, and
the document is likely TO be very closely
examined by the Congressman from
California, Oregon, etc. So far, the
representatives of neither party are salts
fed with it. There is said to be an OPP
portunity for a misunderstanding over
the word '1aborers." 1t is over this class
of immigrants only that the treaty gives
this country jurisdiction as 10 limitation
of numbers. 1t may be urged that the
word " laborers" does not apply to
mechanics or to immigrants intending to
learn mechanical trades, and certainly
the word would not cover the class of
Chinese tradesmen who work the great
est injury in the cities Of California by
monopolizing every branch of business
in which they engage There is evil
IDENTIFY very good reason for the hostility
of the California Congressman to the
treaty.

A writer in the New York World tells
of French gambler named Dupont who
was never out of money, though he
squandered it in vast amounts and rarely
won. The way he was wont to make a
raise is thus described: when in need
of funds he did not hesitate to visit some
wealthy merchant, request a private in
terview with him and then hypnotic or
mesmerize him, after which he would di-
rect his unconscious victim to draw a
check for such or such an amount. The
document would be drawn, and when
Dupont had pocketed il, he would waken
the hypnotic, converse for O while on
other matters and depart in peace. As
the experiments of DR.. Beard have
shown, the hypnotic would know moth
ing of what he had done in his trance,
the signature would be genuine, and Du-
pont would depart to draw the money
and spend 1t in gaming"
