4 serious defect in American public Iii
has received, incidentally, a vigorous ham,
ling By Rev. LEONARD WooLsEY BAcoy, in
sermon recently delivered in Philadel phil
upon the subject: The private character o
pu6lic officers" Says Mr. BACON: 81
would be better for the real dignity, the sell
respect, and the consistent republicanisn
Of the nation, ifthe whole system of otticia
social obserysnceS that has come 10 be at
tached to the Presidents office bya sort o
urwritten law should De done away and i
the cheap little imitation Of royal couri
which we keep up at Washington should b'
fsirly and squarely abolished.
When BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, clad in his
suit of home-spun and devoid Of decorations,
stood at the court Of France as the repre-
sentative of the now republic, he established
a precedent which has been theoretically
followed to the present time, but which, IL
truth, was long ago abandoned The law q
social precedence though unwritten, is yea
by year growing more powerful. The Presi
dent Of the United States elected to a higl
and res ponSible Office, is forced by a falS'
etiquette TO pose as the leader of fashions
ole society at the capital, and is Obliged b.
custom to extend large proportion OF b
salary in the giving Of state dinners an
ceremonious receptions. The women
Washington have built up false system O
social precedence and contend among them
selves concerning their relative social rank
Wives and daughters Of army AMI MAJ
officers dispute with the wives and daugh
,ers Of members Of the House Of Represer
,atiyes regarding their precedence in tn.
social scale, AID so the struggle goes on.
1t must be source Of tho greatest amuSe
ment ameng members Of the EuroPea'
aristccracy to regard our stimulation Of re
publican p!ainness and simplicity, and a
The same time time our mimicry of a roya
court at Washington. 1t is scarcely to q
expected but 1t issincereiy to De hoped tn
some administration Of the future will b
sufficiently democratic 10 refuse to ap
monarchial institutions, and that som
President of the United States may b
sufficiently brave to insist that, boron h
official relations to the government, no on
has any claim upon his time or attentiOn
and that, so far as his social relations ar,
concerned, his rights and privileges ar,

TEE SAFETY OF CANNED FOO

a sufficient number Of instances Of poi>
ouing from the consumption Of came
foods continue to be reported from Jime t.
time from various parts Of the country i,
the daily press and at times under cover 0
3 certain degree Of medical sarction to
seriously interfere with very importan
american industry. We do not doubt thai
many OF these reported cases are greatly
exaggerated aud tina, in sill larger nun
Der. whether exaggerated or not, something
else than canned food. which Is now 50
readily accused, is really guilty Of heeaecls
observed.
II is one thing for physician to pro
rounce a case TO which he NAV be sum
Toned one Of poisoning; it is quite another
aud often lar more difficult thing to desig
hate the precise article at fault; and before
discriminating any individual substance, too
much care caunoI De exercised upon
thorough examination Of all the premises
especially where such substance happens to
be an article OF daily consumption for
which in some parts OF rhe coun;ryit would
be difficult, If not impossible 70 provide ~
equally satisfactory substitute.
There are no food proIacis whether in
the fresh or preserved form, which may no.
at times be met with in an uawholssome
state, but We believe the preserved forms
are really less frequently poisonous than
the so-called fresh forms Notwithstanding
the vigilance Of TODD inspectors in our large
cities, there can be no doubt that no ia.
considerable quantities of fresh meat,
fruits and vegetables unfit for consumption
escape detection and go into use among
some classes of the population. The in
stances in Europe where large numbers Of
partakers Of fresh meat from deceased an.
mails have been seriously aud fatally 9ois
,oned thereby are By no means few.
The average annual production Of canned
foods in the United States is nov estimated
to be upwards Of 5OOOOO.OOO of tins, Or
about ten fcreyery inhabitant of toe coeu.

A HUsBASD,S VALUE.

1t is one Of the most difficult things il
The world to estimate the value of an uu-
,alable article. II is equally impossible t.
pu, price upon domestic happiness. ST
long as individual opinion has no criterion
Of Judgment but its own estimate Of a mans
worth no accurate value can be fixed upol
a man either in his relation as husband o.
citizen of the community. Not grea'
while since a jury in ueighboring STATE
allowed a bereaved widow $40 50 for the
loss Of her husband By an accident origina
iing in a defective boiler. On the other
hand a grass widow in Omaha gets 81 ,Oav
from woman who robbed her of her nus

by no means unanimous in the estimate,

pearance, his lack of polish, and remiui
him with naughty contempt that he ga

are of the pecpEarities of the feminine
mind, are forcibly illustrated in the account
which the Eastern papers bring us Of suit
brought BY Mr.. PLUMB "a lueious lady, no
doubt) against Mrs. WILSON, a person OF
uncertain standing in society, whose arts
and fascinations have beguiled the sffec

fact we discredit the superstition that Mrs

her affections in her own possession, put
any such value upon her fugitive treasure

APARISIAS PANIC.

The Paris correspondent Of the LoadO
Times writes: "A phenomenon is now Oh
servable in France which is occ' pying n
attention Of financial circles. New sPecn

places and under many circumstances. II
is frequently not question between fresh
roast beef or mutton and canned meats, bat
between these latter and smoked or saltel
meats; not q question between fresh or
canned vegetables and fruits, but between
these latter and none at all We are not
arguing that the canned articles are as
nutritive or as toothsome as the fresh, but
merely that with the exercise Of ordinary
care on the part Of the consumer the ike,i.
hood Of being poisoned by the former is Ger,
tainly as small as by the latter. The ap,
pearance of the head ofthe can is generally
a pretty safe index to the condition Of the
Contents.
Among other testimony as to the quality
and reliability Of American canned foods
we notice, very recently, that of General j.
P. Hawkins, chief of muissary, United
States army, who, during an extended ex-
perienee of the use of such foods in mill
tary department never knew Of a case Q.
poisoning, nor could he learn Of any fro il
inquiry of the medical director.
A striking example ofthe keeping quail
ties Of canned fish is found in the fact that
the American canned salmon which wa
awarded the first prize at the Fisheries Ex-
hibitiOn IN Berlin, in 1880, was packed in
1875, and had previously been exhibited
and took the first prize at the Centennial
Exhibition in 1876. The same permanency
may be found in many other articles when
the can remains sound, and has not been
accidentally or purposely tempered with.
Whilst DESTROYS that those engaged il
this important national industry should be
protected from unjust suspicious and un
tenable charges, it is, as We realize, no les
necessary that the more numerous con
sumers should be protected from fraud or
injury; but we imagine the laws Of trade
are still quite competent for that end with
out any medical or sanitary crusade.

| Two great lessons. The FIRST was to rely
con6dentially in that order of the universe
which makes it really worth while to do our
