Whether this is so or no, 1 know that
my teeth have suffered from this busi-

The difference in taste between some
grades Of molasses is so slight that the
tongue must be IN perfectly neutral

not only must the tongue be cared for,
but the mouth, lips and teeth must be as
free as possible from any foreign sub

ADANCEROUs FRIEND.

Corporal TANNER will attend the Mil
waukee encampment in spite of the pro-
tests of the president and secretary of
the interior, and will probably succeed
in working up an enthusiasm in his own
behalf that Will be as personally graft
flying as it will be a rebuke to the bosses
at Washington who attempted to re-
strain his actions. Still, there are a good
many of the old soldiers who look upon
Corporal TANNERS performances with
a good deal of suspicion and no little APP
prehenSion as to what etfectit may have
upon the pension system in the future.
They doubt whether Commissioner
TANNERS personal eXaltation will COM
pensate for the injury that his excessive
extravaganza is likely to co the pen
sion system. 1t is becoming pretty
we'll understood by this time that
the liberal pension policy inaugurated
by the new pension commissioner is
really the work Of the pension sharks
who lnfest Washington, and that after
all they are the real benefciaries of the
TANNER crusade. The grave inquiry
now presents itself to the whole country
how long can this pension shark
crusade be continued without breaking
up our whole pension system? 1t it
goes on at the present rate of
speed. a reaction is inevitable.
for there is always limit to
the tax enduring capacity of nation,
and when that reaction sets in it is likely
to swing to the other extreme. Under
the new constructions of Commissioner
TANNER many millions of additional
annual pensions have already been prac-
tically established by the mere stroke of
his official pen, and scarcely a week
passes by without furnishing some
new constructions by which existing
pensions are enlarged or new ones Gre
ated. We have only to remember that
we are now paying more for pensions
than the entire cost of the standing
army of the great European govern
ments, to realize the danger to which
Corporal TANNERS arbitrary course is
subjecting the pension system. If the
bill which he has prepared for the ap-
prevail of the Grand Army organiza-
ton passes congress next session
it will bankrupt the treasury
the first year. Soldiers as we'll as citi-
zens doubt the wisdom of policy that
will force an already overtaXed people
to turn against a system that was de-
signed for good purpose, and which
should be maintained within legitimate
limits. Liberal, honest and legiti-
mate pensions should and must be
maintained, but it is taxing the
patriotism of the people beyond
limit to ask them, under the
plea of providing for the old soldiers,
to bankrupt the national treasury for
the benefit of the pension sharks. The
veterans of the war Whotake conserv-
alive view of things see itin this light,
and are disposed to look upon Commits
sioner TANNER as a dangerous friend.

IOWA POLITICS.

They are having some politics in Iowa
this year, and with good cause, for they
have state election in the fall. Being
the dominant party, the Republicans
are first in the field with ticket. Yet
the proceedings of the Des Moines con-
vention would Indicate that the Hawk
eye Republicans are not united
family. The farmers in Iowa think
they are entitled to the same privileges
that the farmers of Michigan and Wis
cOnSin enjOy-that of naming the head
OF the ticket, and thus they stuck to old
man WHEELER with remarkable per-
sistency. Like HOARD, of Wisconsin,
the old man WHEELER doesn't know
much about public matters, but he can
milk cow Or drive hay wagon with
consummate skill. HULL, who is the
present lieutenant governor, is the rep
resentative of the soldier element, while
HUTCHINSON has all along been recog-
nized as the candidate of the corpora
tons. The different factions went into
the Des Moines convention all loaded
for ''b'ar," and lively scramble they
had oft. The result is not such as to
justify the belief that much enthusiasm
will be injected into the campaign, or
that an excessively large Republican
vote will be polled. Still. the Republi-
can majority in the state is large enough
to justify the dominant party in taking
risks

WHAT THEY SAY.

The statement made by FOSTER and
WARNER, of the Sioux commission, in
regard to the lands to be opened, in in
terviews with newspaper people after
their return home, are not calculated to
stimulate migration. The area to be
opened is put at 100000 acres, and
Maj. WARNER speaks Of it las in the
main a treeleSs. waterless section, ID
area equal to half the state of Indiana"
He says the lands extend southwark
through Dakota to Nebraska. The COM
mission did not see any of the lands to
be opened, and have very vague ideas
as to their location. They had no other
occasion than natural curiosity to learn
anything as to the character of the
lands, and their seemingly reluctant
partial statements are calculated to
make impressions that will deter set
tiers. The parties who have personal
knowledge of that section will do well
to state what they know.

LABOR FIGURES.

Massachusetts is far in advance of
any other state in the variety and COM
pleteness of it's social and economic
statistics. A volume has recently been
issued comprising the figures gathered
in the state census concerning the COM
mercial and manufacturing interests.
1t gives the number of persons, sex. age
and wages of those employed in the in
dustries. About two-fifthS of the EN-
ployes are females, and more than one
fifth of the latter are paid less than S.
a week. Those that received $40 or
over are but handful. There is more
system in labor matters in MasSachu-
sets than elsewhere, but the discrlmi-
nation against women is as prominent
as in other sections. 1t looks unjust to
discriminate between equal service, but
it is human nature to pay the lowest
market prices. The figures show, also,
that with all the aids of protection, 80
per cent of the labor receives but from
rs cents to 81 day, and has protracted
vacations when the works are idle. An
income of S. or Sc week will not in
duce very extravaganza living.

WHY THEY OBJECT.

1t is beginning to be admitted that
the objection on the part of the experts
and scientists to the use of electricity in
the place of the rope. is n)t so much
due to apprehension of failure to do the
work with neatness and lightning dis
patch, as the notion that 1t involves
degradation to the agency with which
they are associated. They recount the
uses to which the rapid current has
been called, and the agency it is be-
coming in promoting the marvellous
developments of the age, and are filled
with disgust at the new role now de-
manded of it. AS they draw the pic
ture, the officer Of the law who inf1icts
the death penalty is hardly less dis
reputable than the criminal, and al
ways held in loathing. To put their
noble potency to this ignoble use is to
associate its tanners with the gallows
workers. This Is the view taken. The
apprehensions of cruelty and Ineffective
ness are not the substantial causes of
their opposition.

ATLANTA's DISGRACE.

Like a good many other Southern
towns, the city of Atlanta has class of
indiscreet white people who are capable
of creating a great deal of mischief, and
of doing a positive injury to their local
ity. The Atlanta people of this descrip-
ton recently demonstrated their ca
pacity in a miSchieyouS direction
in showing their contempt for
the new Republican postmaster by
burning him in efigy. There was just
cause for popular Indignation in At
lanta, just as there would have been in
st. Paul under similar circumstances,
when the postmaster turned out re-
spectacle white lady who held clerk
ship in his Office and filled the vacancy
by appointing a burly negro in
her place. Yet that was no justi-
fication for the extreme measures
that some of the white citizens EN-
ployed to express their indignation.
The burning effigy ceremony was made
public exhibition on one of the prin-
cipal streets of the city at night, and
the whole population, including white
and coored, turned out to witness it..
At best it was an exhibition of moboc-
racy that speaks badly for the Empire
City of the South, and it is to
be earnestly hoped that such a disgrace
full scene will never again be witnessed
in an American city. The postmaster
explains that the changes in his office
were made for political reasons, and
yet that, in making the changes, he
strictly observed the forms of the civil
service rules. While he may have been
guilty of bad taste and bad judgment in
making his appointments. he did moth
ing to merit the humiliation he was
subjected to by the indignant people
of Atlanta.
