CoRTLANDT PALMER, the eccentric
New York millionaire just dead, will
be remembered as the founder Of that
unique association called the Nineteenth
century club. This is a debating So
piety where problems etfecting society,
economies, theology and science are dis
russed pro and con in the spirit of the
broadcast liberality. For five years the
bociety flourished under Mr.. Palmer's
guidance, and its force and influence
made itself a factor in New York
City. Every winter the rooms
pf the Nineteenth Century club
would be crowded with the foremost
men and Of educated New York
Dociety where the weightiest problems
Affecting the w%ellbeing of the world
were taken up and solved to the salts
faction OF the members. Over these
debates Mr.. Palmer always presided.
His enthusiastic devotion to the society
earned for it a high reputation, and
people came TO hear Mr.. Palmer's sum-
mary OF the debates as much as to listen

md ~Ingersoll. Mr.. Palmer's
pwn opinions on all subjects
we're extremely advanced. He
was dubbed the millionaire social
lst. For in spite Of his great wealth he
advocated not alone the land doctrine
pf Henry George, but shared the .ex-
IRENE ideas Of the socialists in religion

THE gold product of the United
States last year was less by a million
dollars than that of the previous year.
An increase had been expected. The
yield of the gold mines in Australia,
Russia and South America declined in
a corresponding ratio with those of this
country. This will doubtless explain
the decline in silver in London. The
indications are not favorable to any in
crease in the gold supply, either in this
or other countries. The product of the
mines OF Australia does not increase.
Russia appears to have reached the
limit OF its possible output. The African
mines have not fulfilled their promise.
A handsome yield is re-
ported from Venezuela, but it
Is toe small to cut any
figure in the worlds supply. The
Michigan discovery is not to be largely
counted upon. The gold product of last
year probably did not exceed ninety
eight million dollars. The coinage vas
nearly one hundred and twenty-five
millions. 1t is evident that this dlspro-
portion between the supply and the
coinage cannot be maintained, and that
either new sources of gold supply must
be discovered or some other form of
money must be substituted for gold
coin. The enemies of silver may study
to advantage the situation presented by
these figures.

THE committee IN agriculture Of the
house of representatives had an awaken
ing II few days ago and resumed consid-
Grafton Of the pure food problem, re-
garding which a great deal was said
and proposed earlier in the session. Its
most important action was in instruct
ing the committee to report the pure
food bill introduced early in June.
This bill is general in its scope, prohib-
iting, under penalties, the manufacture
and sale of adulterated food products,
provides for the creation in the
department of agriculture of Il
division to be known as the
food division, equipped with a
chief and corps of assistants, and makes
provision for the appointment by the
president of chemists in a dozen of the
principal cities whose duty 1t shall be
to examine and analyze food brought
to their attention. A food inspector
with assistants for each state and terri
tory is also provided for. The COM
mittee agreed with Mr.. Laird that
there should be an in Investigation of the
packing and refining establishments in
the large cities, and his resolution to
send out a subcommittee for this pur-
pose was adopted, Desirable as it may
be, however, to secure adequate legis-
lation for preventing the adulteration
of food, there is little proba-
bility that anything decisive
will be done at the present
session. The departure contemplated
by the bill to be reported should receive
more thorough and careful considera-
ton thar can be given it in the time
that congress will probably still remain
in session, and it is IA matter of toe much
Importance to be hastily disposed of.
