more meaning in these provisions than
In the inspection sections of the law, be-
cause they declare new policy on the
part OF our government in regard to its
treatment of those governments which
discriminate against our products.
When the French government learns
that French wines may be excluded
from the markets of the United States
If our pork is continued under an unjust
ban, it is very probable that it will dis
cover that the American hog is fit food
for the French people.
1t may be asked why this has not been
done before-why, year after year, our
government has permitted our pork to
be excluded from the French markets.
1t is easily explained. The Republican
Senate passed the inspection bill
during the last Congress, but the Demo-
cratic House was never able to reach it,
or did not see its Importance. COnse-
quently the measure has been delayed
until both houses are Republican, and
the business in both branches is di-
rected with view to promoting the
public welfare. Furthermore, an earn
est and business-like administration is
giving its attention to matters of prac-
tical Importance to American producers.
In short, Congress and administration

nothing in the training of the human mind

principle, we shouldn't wear any clothes,

PROBABLY the last survivor Of the SOL

1S14-15. is Col. Charles b. Tappsn. of New
York, who marched out to McGowan's
Pass IN the company which Thomas Adds
Emmett commanded. and, like all the
youth of the period. was as ready to work
on the glacis with the shovel as to shoulder
a musket and watchout for red coats. The
only trouble with this youthful veteran of
ninety-five ia that he prefers TO talk of
what he will do next year to telling of
what he did seventy or eighty years ago.
Only recently this hale survivor of Fort
Fish took it into his head that he would
like to visit California, and resisting all
entreaties to take a valet. or wait for
friends. he started out alone with the
physique of sixty, and the heart of twenty,
on his voyage of exploration.
