THH KAISER'S REVERENCE.

Kaiser William visited the Dom
Chapel, last Monday, where he inspect
ed the new altar piece representing the
kings Of the earth laying their crowns
and scepters at the feet of the Redeem
er. Replying to all address made to
him on the occasion by DR.. Koegel, the
court chaplain, the old Emperor said:
AS for what you have said about
me personally | accept it with all mod
esty as q man whose days are now num-
bered. In my life time Heaven has COW
cred me with blessings and mercies,
especially in my old age, but the homage
paid inc 1 lay at the throne of the High
est, from whom we derive strength to
execute all the best things that can be
done on earth. Within the last few
years, before the eyes of all of you,
things have happened by which Prussia
has been raised higher than ever we ex-
pected. You have all been witnesses
of the great work accomplished, which
will continue to endure if its founda-
tons remain in purity of religion and
progress in every good deed. In my
old days l can call Heaven to witness
that I have ever looked upon religion
as the sole foundation on which every
thing reposes, and as the highest good
of my people,"

q CASE OF REL.
IFrom the n. Y. Sun.l

The existence of the Canadian Do
minion may hang upon SO small a thing
as the decision of its government with
regard to one mans life.
The execution of Riel will inevitably
stimulate the disruptive tendencies
which already make the maintenance OF
union between the French and English
sections of Canada extremely difficult.
The French element of the population
will look on Riel as a martyr, and 80
in one sense he would be, for there
would have been no second rebellion
tor him to head but for the administra-
tive ~maltreatment OF the French speak
ing halt breeds in the Northwest.
That from this point of view Reil
may be fairly regarded rs a victim OF
he governments own wrong-dolng,
will Be clear by and by even to the
Orangemen of Ontario, who just now
are clamoring for his death. 1t will be
clear, for they will see the present min
1stry virtually admit responsibility for
the late outbreak by proposing legisla-
tive remedies for the grievances of
which the half breeds complained and
which Reil strove to redress. When
the hour comes tor confessing the prov
ocation given to the revolt. the present
Premier will be lucky if he does not
find himself at once deserted by the
English and detested by the French.
We believe that Sir John Mcdonald
will be lucky in this instance, because
we believe he will be wise, and thai
his wisdom will be proved by the com
mutation of Riels death sentence int

G1Oh4 49,
The contest for the Joplin p%ostoftice is
ended and there is great Indignation
among the democracy of that town.
Among the applicants we notlcea tne
name of A. w. Carson, editor OF the
Herald, who has faithfully and heroic
aIlv served the democracy OF Jasper
county and Joplin for many years as a
fearless champion of the cause. we
fear that the mantle has fallen on an
other. as Hon. w. J. Stone made his
recommendation on the 10th, and we
have it from pretty reliable private
sources that Mr.. Stone has recommends
ed an unfedged, callowy fellow. VINO
never struck q blow or cast a vote for
the party. He was the candidate OF
Tom Conner, who bet heavy on ms
appointment. We regret b deieat
OF Brother Carson, and advise MIN, as
we have all other journalists, to attend
closely to their newspapers-ask No
ofice-battle for principle and ask
favor of no man. Then you will be re-
spectsd by the world and under no Do,
LEGATION to the politicians. Let all
YOUR aims be for God and your coun'
try. What you find true hold on to
with hooks of steel. Eschew evil. In
scribe on your banner God and democ-
rscy and make no compromise with the
politicians or the devil. Make the
Joplin Herald the best paper in Jasper
county, be true to your country, cause
and friends, and next year when Hon

BROOKLYN HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
frank Leslie'B Weekly.l


Candies, drugs, tea, coffee, sugar, and
even articles of food, are so frequently
%adulterated that, unless dealers and
manufacturers discover that they have
a conscience, and that human life has
some claim to consideration even when
dollars are concerned, people will in
self-protection have to return to print
tive modes of living, and eschew alto
gether their poisonous or adulterated
compounds. Last week Chemist Bar
tley, of the Brooklyn Health Depart
ment, reported that he had found in
the city shops large quantities of yell
low lozenges and "conversation tab
let's" colored with poisonous chrome
yellow. What real difference is there
between the manufacturers who make
and the c~onfectioners who sell such
poisoned sweets to children and the
robber who murders so as to replenish
his purse?

badly surprising any ever before at

Everglades of Florida, is now being
successfully prosecuted in Illinois.
The work consists of g canal 10 miles
long, 35 feet wide, and "a feet deep,
situated in the eastern part of Piatt
county. 1t runs through a large tract
of low fiat prairie, subject to annual
%inundation, having no natural drainage
or outlet. The dredge boat used In Its
construction is rs feet long, 26 feet wide
and cost its owners, Pallard, Golf Co.,
$24,5 500. Fourteen hands are employed
upon it, and the dredge advances about
400 feet a day.
AS far as completed the results of the
work are very satisfactory, having
lowered the water level in the surround
ing country almost equal to the depth
of the canal. About 10000 acres OF
overflow lands will be reclaimed, and
at lease So, 900 acres more will be great.
