Aaulterated Coffee.

New YORK. May 5.-The board of health's
charges that coffee is largely adulterated
here with poisonous mixtures were confirm
ed this morning by the admission of some
coffee merchants to Post reporter, who
stated that several houses and well known
firm of coffee brokers say it is found by roll
ing green Maracibo coffee in heated cylin-
ders and sprinkling it with water contain
ing gum arabic, yellow color such as that
of the best Java being obtained By us
ing solution of Indigo, helped by the using
of soapstone, a bright green tint is obtained.
Coffee coloring has become so common that
nearly every coffee merchant resorts to it at
times. By slight change in color in coffee
it can be disposed of to advantage where it
had been impossible to sell before A doc
toring agent of the New York and Brooklyn
Coffee Company, which does the largest
business in coloring and polishing coffee,
says: 'sWe color coffees and polish and
clean them, having a patent which would
never have been Issued had our processes
been injurious" From several coffee brok-
ers it was ascertained that in more than
half the retail groceries Maracaibo and Rio
coffees colored to initiate Java are sold at
large profits.
Found Guilty at Last.
SALT LAKE, May 6.-Fred Hopt, alias
Welcome. who has been on trial for seven
days for murder committed July 3, 1880.
Of 1,f fho i
gree. 1t was his third trial. An appeal
was carried to the supreme court of the Un-
tied States twice, and new trials ordered.
The trial caused more excitement than any
other held in this city. Officers had to use
precautions to prevent lynching at the time
of the verdict. The crowd was barred cut
of the court room. Five hundred men are
in front now, waiting for admission. The
father of Hopt's victim, John w. Turner,
the sheriff of Utah county, dispersed the
crowd by making speech, asking them to
abide by the law. United States Marshal
Ireland captured long rope from negro,
who was secretlng it in the building ready
for the crowd.
Invented solidifed Whisky.
P1rrsBURG, May 5.-M. G. Petterman, q
German farmer of Pittsburg suburbs, has
made wonderful invention-a new method
that will revolutionize modern whisky
distilling. He has discovered way of
making solidifed whisky, making it into
pocket plugs just like tobacco. Besides
that, he says he can also distin in iquit
of two and three year old whisky when i
comes out of the still. Last month som,
persons from New York offered him 500,
600 for his invention.

PIT serving Public Lands.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-The bill intro.
duced by Senator Plumb to prevent the
acquisition of real estate by aliens provides
that aliens who have not declared their
intention to become citizens shall not
acquire real estate in any of the territories
or the District of Columbia. 1t provides
that no foreign corporation, more than 10
per cent of the stock of which is held by
aliens, shall acquire title to any lands
in the territories or in the District of Col
umbia and that no corporation, native or
foreign, except railroad, shall acquire
more than 5000 acres. The exception re-
specting railroads limits their privileges to
the lands necessary to the transaction Of
their business and to such as may have been
granted by the government. With respect
to government grants the bill provides that
the lands must be sold within ten years o,
they shall revert to the government.

Cyclone in the Mississippi Valley.

Rock ISLAND, May ct has been rain
ing almost steadily for three days. Yester-
day afternoon about 4:30 o'clock cyclone
swept across the southern end of the town
carrying everything before it. Three hous-
es, one of them a two-story brick, were
completely demolished. Half dozen other
buildings were unroofed, and many barns
yielded to the wind. The fair grounds
were in the track of the storm, and all its
buildings were leveled and trees uprooted.
1t is impossible as yet to estimate the dam
age. Fortunately nobody was killed though
four persons were more or less seriously
hurt. Boats in the river were driven to the
Iowa side, but no serious damage to them
has been reported.
DAVENPORT, May GA cyclone struck
the lower end of this city and levelled a
number of buildings. One person was kill.
ed outright and a number of others badly
injured. 1t is impossible to get the loss at
this time.

Two Letters,

The PRESS received two interesting.
anonymous communications yesterday,
which, contrary to our rule, we will print in
part, because they so happily illustrate the
wit and wisdom of the order of beings
who sneak behind an anonymous, when
they cannot resist the impulse to unload
their spitefulness. TIE first sends an edit
orlal cut from the PRESS with this apprecia-
tive remark scribbled on the margin:
"what SET of dirty. lying, lousy constituents
Blaine must have in Portland, the editor of the
blackguard PRESS included
The second is valuable chiefly for its exhi-
bition of dense and hopeless ignorance of
the business of publishing newspaper 1t
says:
"We don't find fault with you for not publishing
Head Lines, but We do complain that little 1.-TWO
for cent papsr' like the sPrsss' should take it
upon itself to Concede the election of Cleveland
and issue an Extra to do so. Time enough to issue
Extras when we are sure of good news in them"
The man who gets Indignant because the
important issues of this day paper which his,
is enterprising enough to publish does not
suit him, ought to have lived century ago !;
or, if he must live in this age, he should live
in Russia or SEINE other country where 1t is
still considered the proper thing to super
wise the papers to see that they print only
"geod'' news and suppress everything that is
not favorable to ''oEr siae." When the early
edition of this paper had to go to press
Thursday morning, election returns were
still coming by telegraph. Whether they
were good or bad, we could not tell; bat we
presumed the people would want to know
what they were and inserted a notice that
they would be printed in an extra edition,
and they were. We did not publish the Extra
because we liked the news, but because the
people had right to expect the PRESS
would give them whateverwas received; and
it was the only paper in the State, we believe,
which did publish everything received that
night relating to the election. OF this fact
We are proud, and can endure with equamin-
ity the criticism Of those who vent their dis :
appointment at the nature of The news upon
the paper which printed it.

Hubert o. Thompson.

0dtn III Inc Enquirer
This man Thompson has aspirvd for years
to be Kelly's successor in the boss-ship of
New York. He is not as clean lookin Q
man as Kelly, and has not Kelly's good hab-
its. Kelly is temperate, domestic, strict in
his religious observances, quiet to talk with,
a once industrious mechanic, and a polti-
clan of very long experience, having been in
Congress years before the rebellion. Thomp-
son is nearly twenty years his junior; is said
to be better educated, has certain genius
for staying up all night and working at po-
ltical organization, but has no business hab-
its, scarcely any domestic associations, lives
with the boys, and in the way of general
morals promises to be, if he is success full
here, a letting down from any boss New
York city has ever had. His Office is an i'm
portant oDe-commissioner of public works.
He employs all the laborers on the highways.
bridges, &C., enormous in number, and has
the distribution of large funds of money. He
assesses regularly from these employees a
campaign fund, and for good while past
has had more patronage here than Kelly.
Nobody knows much about him except the
politicians. He is not very communicative,
has kind of idiotic grin or stare, wears
spectacles, and has grown Fallstafian and
fat. He has dark hair and complexion, and
would appear to be candidate for the apo
plexy.

1887 and the Herald 1905, while the Tribune
fgues show plurality for Blaine. As the
Boston Journal points out, between the
highest and the lowest Of these statements
there is variation of TOT votes, or nearly
two-thirds of the entire plurality claimed by
the infallible authority which is lowest in
the list. Besides these general DISCREPANCIES
the Sunday Tribune publishes attested re-
turns of pluralities from several scattered
counties, which show errors in the claims
concerning those counties put forward by
tue other papers. For insf ance, Blaine's
ascertained plurality in Livingston county
is 1913, and yet the nfallible Times makes
it 1853, while the equally infaible World
prints it correctly, but nevertheless brings
out the total plurality 107 larger than that
claimed by the Times. In Sullivan county
CleVeland's correct plurality is 275. and vet
It is given in the Herald as 318, and in the
World as BAT. The certified returns from
Delaware county give Blaine plurality of
978; the Herald makes it 968. The correct
ed return from Essex county gives Blaine
l775 plurality; the Herald makes it 1850.
La view of the acknowledged closeness of
the vote and the errors above pointed out it
is foolhardy for anybody to say that the re-
suit of the election in New York is settled,
or can be, before the returns are officially
canvassed:
The Portland daily press., 1884-11-11

In 1868 Samuel J. Tilden sent out the
blank dispatches TO picked men in every
town in the State with the following direc-
tons: "F up the above dispatch as soon
as the polls close, with about the majority
you think your town will give, putting it
high enough, and send it by telegraph to Mr..
Tweed. The expense is guaranteed at New
York." This was one of the features of
plot concocted to count out fairly elected
Republican candidate for Governor. The
plot succeeded, and his Democratic rival was
declared elected. There is no reason to be-
lieve that the Democratic managers in New
York to-day are any more vrtuous than Mr.
Tilden. They need watching, and their per-
formances since election ought to be sub
jected to the closest scrutiny. They may
have acted honestly, but their characters
raise no such presumption in their favor.

RAE Hartford Conrant mak a

The Hartford Courant make COMPARE
son between the electoral vote of the South
ern States and the white voting population
of those States and similar comparison be-
tween the electoral votes of the Northern
States, and the white voting population of
those States, by which it appears that 4, 1922
648 Southern whites have II electoral votes.
while 20,335, 051 Northern whites have only
151 electoral votes. If the colored popula-
ton were counted a nullity las it is in the
South, and the electoral votes of the North
were assigned according to white population
a. In the South, these Northern States would
be entitled to 304 votes instead of ISL, or
more than twice the present number Or if
the electoral votes Of these Southern States
were assigned according to the Northern ra-
Ito of white population the States would
have but "a votes instead of II. That is to
say, in each of these States the vote of every
white man counts for more than the votes
of two white men in the North.

The determinations to seat Cleveland on
the strength of the returns received by the
Democratic National Committee whether
they are correct or not is becoming more
and more apparent. The public declara-
lions and the private talk of the Democratic
leaders looks in that direction, while the
burning of Mr.. Blaine in ethgy in New York,
and the throwing out of banner inscribed
with Cleveland or war" shows that the
iawless element of the party is fast catching
the inspiration breathed out by the leaders.
