Considerable information for beer drinkers is floating about nowadays. One cheerful statement is that Chicago brewers use large quantities of tan bark to adulterate their beer. It is not poisonous, and it gives fine color to the liquid while it supplies just the pungent, bitter taste appreciated by beer drinkers. It is great deal cheaper than any other adulteration and the brewers are coin ing money out of the tan juice.

 The Scott liquor law continues to grow in favor in Ohio Senator Sherman is con- vinced that it is becoming so popular that no party will agree to repeal it. In his jour neys through the State he says he has found strong sentiment in it's favor among Demo- crats as well as among Republicans. This is especially true in the rural districts, where the tax is looked upon as moderate and just. He finds the people much interested in the liquor question and attentive to any discus sions of it.

SOME of the northern papers became
considerably agitated on account Of the
President in his message using the form Of
expression "the United States are, ETC..
They think they detect in this lurking
recognition ofthe doctrine that the States
are sovereign, and that this big nation is
only a union ofsmall nations. ThePresident
may have been governed by grammatical
forms or usage rather than any political
tenet or dogma But if it can be shown
that he limited at the existence or survival
of any States rights it will settle him in
the Chicago convention, especially il
Southern representation is not cut down,
For il is to be remembered that Southern
Republicans do not believe in the heresy
of State sovereignty even in the fifth de-
gree, and that they are about as numerous
in national convention as all the North
Possibly the President had read the con-
stitution Of the United States in which
the plural form occurs If 50, he is
considerably ahead Of most Of his party
outside of few lawyers and Congressman
The lay members for the last ten or IF
teen years have been content to read thu
post bellum amendments and not g
backwards. Their party notions ar,
strong enough If they could prevail t,
break down the well established rules o
grammar as we'll as wipe out State line
and have the country ruled by Unite'
States Marshals.
