BOGUS FOOD.

The discovery that an enterprising firm
of New Jersey manufacturers have been
producing an imitation of ''pure" Java and
Mocha coffee, indicates a development ol
home industry which is not likely to meet
with public favor. The general tendency
of the press is to regard this as a new thing;
but it is really modern and probably i'm
proved development of what was generally
and openly done in this country during the
war when coffee rose beyond the means of
the common people, and the entire United
States set to the search for substitutes.
There is no inherent reason why imitation
coffee should not be as much of a success as
imitation butter, imitation olive oil, imita-
tion lard or imitation eggs. The public
wrong or right of the manufacture depends
on the character of the ingredients used to
flavor the bogus coffee; but the secrecy which
surrounds the process does not inspire the
hope that the substances are such as to COM
mend themselves to public favor As the
trade is likely to be principally in selling
the imitation article as genuine, that branch
of the new industry, as in the case of most
of the other food limitations, will be little
more than an organized practice of getting
money under false pretenses
The approach of the day when the Ameri-
can citizen will sit down to his breakfast
to drink imitation coffee, sweetened with
bogus glucose sugar, and eat imitation eggs,
or possibly imperil his digestion with dough-
nuts fried in imitation lard. appears not far
away. Only the discovery of bogus cream
for the coffee and bogus -four for the bread
is necessary to make it possible for the COM
mon American to take meal without aston
ishing his stomach by single genuine arti-

BURLINGTON, N. ]. February 2-Announce-
ment of the marriage of Walter Clark, who
has reached the age of 16 to Miss Phoebe Jones,
a spinster of 40 summers, forms the latest topic
of vigorous talk in this city. Miss Jones was
housekeeper for John Kane, neighbor of the
Clarks. and the boy became infatuated with
her. She received the advances of her youth
full lover with all the abandon of giddy girl.
The strangely-mated pair went to Camden
early this week. but that marriage mill did not
pan out a certificate of matrimony for them.
They then tried their fate in Philadelphia,
not knowing the marriage law. Failing there
to have their wishes crowned, they visited Ran
cocas small village five miles from here,
where a country Squire pronounced them man
and wife. The parents of the boy-husband
have as yet made no move to set aside the mar
riage,

TT has been argued that, by this ruling, a
measure may be passed with but one man
voting for it, and the other hundreds refusing
to vote either aye or nay, but, nevertheless
counted bythe Speaker to make up quorum.
The proposition is absurd; but, even If 1t were
possible, the wrong would lie with the members
who refused to do their duty and vote.
The outcry against the Speaker, therefore,
has been merely the fury of minority which
demands the opportunity to accomplish by par
lIamentary trickery what it cannot by the hon.
est and Constitutional method of voting.
Every ruling of Speaker Reed has been in the
interests of orderly and speedy legislation. 1t
can injure none but demagogues and trick
sters and oorTuptiOnists. If under it
the majority may accomplish some Injustice
more easily than it would otherwise, it must he

its act. The minority can always expose the
wrong and the people can pass Judgment

Corn is selling at eighty cents q bushel

Cotton picking will soon be over in

Cane can be grown to perfection aud at

The farmers of Whit have been agree
ably disappointed in the cotton crop and
have more picking on hand than they
were prepared for.
Every body in Burnet county is busy
picking cotton, and the gins are kept
busy. The bulk of it is out already and
is in excess of the expectations.
The general estimate in BOsque county
is that it will require the increase in acre
age TO supply the deficiency in the cotton
yield.
An exchange speaks of the crops in
Coleman county as follows: Some crops
are short, but this year will compare
well on the average. We have good
fruit, fair wheat, oats and corn. and an
average cotton yield. Should the fall
continue warm and dry as ordinarily,
the top crop will be the heaviest ever
picked in this county, aud make the total
av rage yield close on to bale per acre.
Our farmers have all made enough to do
them and a good deal to spare, and
owing to good prices, have realized more
money per acre on their produce mar
keted than they ever did of best crop
years.
