Adulterated Drugs.

\ consultation was held yester-
day between Health Officer Veale
and DR.. Henry Lehman, and the
views of Chemist Charles Bullock
were considered at length. Both
gentlemen expressed great indig-
nation at the rumor that the inyes-
tigation on the adulteration of
drugs was the outcome for sensa-
ton and a desire on their part for
newspaper notoriety. Major Veale
declared that it made no difference
to him what Mr.. Bullock or any
one else said, for he felt that he
was in the right. Had the drug
trade done its duty the necessity
for this investigation would never
have arisen. "The trouble is Just
here" he said ; ''hundreds of drug
gists make their drugs under the
standard of 1870 instead Of that of
1880, as they should. This makes
vast difference, for many of the
most important drugs are a great
deal weaker under the old standard
than under the new, hence the
cost of their production is much
less. Now / don't propose to let
the drug trade impose on the pub
lie if | can help it. The Pharma-
copnia of 1880 is the standard
which they all should adopt and
my object is to compel them to do
so. 1t is my opinion that a drug
gist who compounds prescription
under any other than the standard
;, of 1880 is liable to criminal prose-
cution. The sole object of our
investigation is to compel the
drug trade to live up to the stand
ard of 1880"
| DR.. Lehman said: eve are
doing this work simply because
the drug trade has failed in its duty
to the public. If the Pharmaceut-
ical Association would pass a
resolution in conjunction with the
drug trade, agreeing to live up to
the standard as laid down in the
PharmacopGia, it would cover the
whole ground. The variations we
have found in the strength of drugs
examined is due to the fact that no
single standard is followed. \ very
few recognize that of 1SSO-the only
correct one-but the majority fol-
;! low that of 1870" The latest re-
suits of the analysis made by Drs.
Lehman and Cresson show rather
startling results. The eleven sam
Piles of laudanum analyized vary in
strength from 5.55 per cent of
morphia to 40 per cent. The sam
pies of CELEBRATED soda were found
exceedingly weak and far below
the standard, some being as low as
1.8 per cent, while the minimum
quantity demanded by the stand
ard is 10 per cent. Out of thirteen
samples of mercurial ointment only
! five were found anywhere near the
required standard Many of the
twenty-seven samples of tincture
of iodine were found to contain
only one-qnarter of the required
strength. The examination Of
milk showed u great variation in
the quality sold, but many of the
, samples were found to be very good.

STEAMBOATS, VS.. RAILROADS.

The recent agreement between
the VI up. and the L. NO. d I,
r. r., by which all the cotton
handled by the former, is to be
transferred to the latter road for
shipment to New Orleans, has
caused considerable comment, that
is, instead of shipping the cotton
by boat from Delta it is taken
across the river and sent by the
Valley road, to New Orleans.
This arrangement, it is supposed,
will seriously cripple, if not break
up, the New Orleans d Ficksburg
packet line. This result, would be
n misfortune. for if the steamboat
opposition were removed, the rail
roads would have it all their own
way, and in such an event, the
freight rates would be, naturally,
increased.
Railroads, arc neither better nor
worse, than any other corporation.
With no opposition, the temptation
to make the most of the situation,
would be irresistible, and freight
charges would increase. The op.
position of the steamboats, has been
insufficient, to hold down prices.
Local freights are entirely too high,
and without the steamboat oppo.
sition, there would be a bad state
of affairs.
The boats arc not the best dis.
pensers of justice in the world

WELL DONE.

Now this looks handsome. Our esteemed,
charming and distinguished, but highly
iniammatory contemporary the Chicago
Tribune, in heading over its Inauguration
dispatches on Thursday morning the 5th,
had the following:
THE FRIEND o. THE WIDOW AND THE FATHER
LESS IYAUGURATED PRESIDENT.
An Eastern Republican paper promptly took
the Tribune to task, commenting upon the
headlines as a gIatnitous insult to the Chief
Magistrate of the United States and also
urged the Tribune management to prevent
such exhibi ions in the future.
The Tribune in answer rises promptly
and handsomely to the requirements of the
occasion in the following editorial COM
ments:
at ought to be unnecessary 10 say that the head
lines referred to were not auh orized nor approved
OF by the editor in-chief or the management of
the Tribune, and would not have appeared in
print bat for the temporary absence of the latter
from the city. MIR. Cleveland's private affairs
during the late campaign are no longer proper
subjects OF public discussion his intersections
were condoned Dy the vote that made him Presl-
dent. So far as ar. CIeveland's past life is con-
ceIned, the Tribune has nothing more 10 say; we
chiefly interested in his conduct as Chief Mag
istrate OF this nation. He is the President OF all
Republicans as well as OF all Democrats. and. IN

THE BIG STEAL,

A discussions Of the big land steal OF the
last Republican administration Is gradually
forcing its way into the newspapers. The
New York Times gives Mr.. Teller the follow
ing sprightly leit-hsnder: Senator Teller is
quite right the resolution of inquiry into
the issue of patents confirming the Back
bone grant is reflection upon his motives
as Secretary Of the Interior. 1t is such
resolution as would sting al honest Federal
officer to the quick. But Mr.. Teller can not
properly call the introduction of the
resolution an impertinence. On the
contrary, the issue of the patents
10 a very proper substitute for in.
quiry, and we hope the inquiry
will be searching. The ex Secretary will
gain nothing by denounciug Mr.. Van Wyck
as a special champion of the laboring classes
and OF the downtrodden people of this conn
try, and as the special opponent Of the cor
porations.' Such language suggests too vivid
ly for his good comparison OF his own
official record toward the laboring classes
End the corporations with that of the Senator
from Nebfaska. We are unable to reconcile
Mr.. Tellers professions of eagerness for the
investigation to 90 on with his abuse of the
author of the resolution. Does he really
want the aylight in upon the issue of the
patents, or is there something hidden which
makes him fear the light2'

The Journal has always had 'pick" at DR..
Bartlett, and has seen proper to attack him
in season and out of season. The Reverend
Doctor is Republican and is no particular
friend of the Sentinel, yet flair play is de-
sirsble, even If it is not our political OK that
is being gored. In this connection it is well
to notice the fact that some small mind in
control of the Journals columns evidently
feels great responsibility to reform and rear
range matters of vast importance in this
mundane sphere Its utterances on all topics
have the authoritative and dogmstioal tone
of judicial dictum. Neighbor, while at
tempting to regU ate things, don't encompass
the grave matters of the universe in too
small a sphere, or you'll find yourself in the
predicament of the fellow who "bit of more
than he could chew" 1t might be good
stroke of policy on the part of the Journal
to discontinue its attacks upon DR.. Bartlett.
Its course is exciting unfavorable comment.

THE Sentinel has more than once sug.
gested that with the largely increased wealth
and population of Indiana, the present ses-
sion time OF the Legislature should probably
be extended. The increase of National Leg
islation has been steady. Speaker Carlisle
said at the close OF the recent session of Con-
gress that nearly as many bills had been in
troduced as in the FIRST fifty years OF our Ma
tional existence. This increase in National
legislation is Kept pace with by that Of every
such growing State as Indiana. Is it not a
reasonable proposition, them that our Leg
islatures need longer sessions than they did
thirty YEAR, ago?

THOSE who are selected for a limited time TO
manage public affairs are still of the people, and
may do much by their example to encourage that
plain way OF living which, among their fellowcit-
lzens aids integrity and promotes thrift and pros
perity.
The sentence above, from Mr.. Cleveland's
inaugural, excited favorable comment from
source that was hardly to be expected
viz, an English paper-the London Echo.
In commenting upon 1t, the Echo exclaims:
Hear this, We Kings with your tawdry
crowns, ye Dukes and Esrls with your tinsel
coronets, We Lords OF the Bed chamber and
Gold Sticks in Waiting, with your salaries
drawn from the hard earned wages and slen-
der resources Of the thrifty poor-sslaries
paid to you for no service productive of good
to the public, but only for playing the
Aunky and the fool Is it not time, o pa
tient English democracy, for US to open our
eyes and take counsel of our wiser children?
The money wasted over the pomp and
psgeantry OF courts is spent in bolstering up
the prstensions OF rank and birth. Would
II not be better spent in feeding the poor and
teaching the ignorant?'
