THE INNER LIFE.

We know there is a life within the life
Of each Whu, toiling treads the conquered
way;
Ever fiercer strife behind the strife
That each is seen to wage from Cay to day.
We find ourselves contending with world
In which ambition rules and pride holds
sway;
We drink and scott, like others. are possessed
With zeal to grasp the baubles as we may.
So we are Judged to be alike as base
AS he who sells for pottage all he hath
Who yields not only love and joy and truth,
But Yields for this his souls immortal
worth.
Be thou serene before the heartless judge,
Brave heart that hath with unseen valor
fought;
And sell the sunshine of thy life for naught.
The world can never know thee as thou art
Much less with truth can judge thee as it
ought;
But if thou hast with courage done thy part,
For thee there's nothing further to be
sought.
TITS we'll for us to toll and strive to win
All that our health and comfort may re-
quire;
But let the angel still within US reign.
That he may aid the world to something
higher.
Then let the inner life be full and free
Let mind rule with the scepter of Its might,
Let heart and soul with aspiration turn
Toward all that's great in nature, grand in
thought.
Then be the world in judgment true or false.
The heart, secure III consciousness of
worth,
Can find within its battlements of truth
The greatest pleasure possible to earth.

TO STOP ADULTERATION.

The protests from the drug trade have
been influential in the framing of the
new bill by the senate committee on
agriculture, as a substitute for the
other bills for the prevention of adul-
teration in foods and drugs. This mat
ter of looking after the health of the
people is conceded to be the duty of the
state and local authorities, but it is en-
tirely neglected in many OF the states,
including some where the adulterants
have their most active career. Penn
sylvania, for instance, is one OF the
chief manufacturing states, and sends
out to the trade vast proportion of the
completed goods. Its Legislature has
not seen fit to put any distractions in
the way of the business. The local
authorities exercise the police powers
to protect the property and lives of the
citizens from the assaults of the vi
cious and criminal. 1t is equally
a proper function of that power
to see that the food and drink of the
people are not contaminated, or that
they are not robbed by being imposed
upon with fraudulent articles. The
general government would have no oc-
casion to act in this matter if all the
states did their duty. Its opportunity
is found in the interstate feature of
traffic. The scope of the new bill is
broad. 1t will establish in the agri-
cultural department an analytic bureau
to test all samples of food aud drugs
presented. Severe penalties are pro-
vided for those convicted on trial of vio-
lating the law in manufacturing the
foods probably too severe to be effect
i've; but, while the results of the analy-
sis are to be published, the names of the
aduIterants are not to be made public
until after conviction. 1t would be
manifestly unjust to publish the
retail dealers, as they are usually
as innocent as their customers as
to the composition of the ar
ticleS; but where the adulteration in
Iured the consumer, either in health or
to any considerable extent in pocket,
there should be no hesitation in making
the name of the guilty party public and
stopping him from carrying on the bus
mess. The exposure is the great check
to the nefarious traffic. 1t would be
ruinous in most cases to be published
as an impostor and fraud. The new
bill seems to be defective in this feat
ure. The definitions OF what constitute
authorizations Of articles of food and
drink are pertinent, and may be adopt
ed by the local authorities. More at
tention has been given this matter in
the West than in the East. and in this
state and some others excellent work
has been inaugurated. The passage of
the senate bill may partially supplement
the failure Of some states to act, as
thorough work must have general CO.
operation.

The explanation of the postmaster

claim of business equity, but is reform

COME WEST.

Tho Atlantic steamship companies es-
innate that 100000 Americans will visit
Europe during the present summer. 1t
is very low estimate to say that the
average expense of the American visitor
to Europe will be $1,000. 1t is more likely
to double that amount. But at the esti-
mate of $1,000 each it will drain this
country of S1000OO,OOO. This is no in
considerable sum to be taken out of the
country each year, and the worst of it is
it goes there to stay. The European
travel to America is slight in compari-
son, and our European friends are more
economical in their expenditures than
American travellers.
We are not disposed to quarrel with
our rich Americans for lavishing their
money upon European innkeepers and
European transportation companies.
Their money is theirown, and they have
the right to spend it as they please.
But we do regret that there is so little
national pride among the wealthy
classes of America that they leave the
marvels and wonders of their own land
unseen to go abroad in search of scenery
that doesn't begin to compare with what
we have at home. There is nothing in
all Europe at all comparable with the
National Park, and the scenery of the
Alps grows tame in comparison with the
canons of the Colorado and Columbia.
There is no plain in the world so pleas
ing to the eye as the stretch of prairie
between st. Paul and Helena, nor does
the famed Lake Como of Italy sur
pass in beauty that lovely sheet
of water in Idaho known as Pend
d'Oreille.
Yet our Americans are impressed
with the false belief that they are not
doing the proper thing unless they
spend few of their many thousands
each year in visiting the scenes of the
old world. Still, if it were not such a
costly operation, we would not be
grumbling about it. If the amount ex-
pended by our countrymen in European
travel each year, on which there is no
return, were distributed throughout our
Western country, there would be less
privation and less grumbling Old account
of bad crops. Say that the country be-
tween st. Paul and the Pacific could be
flooded each season with the 100000 900
that go to Europe, what difference it
would make to this great section that is
now struggling for development.
Might not greater effort be made to
divert travel in this direction? Most
of the travel to Europe goes from along
the Atlantic seaboard. Have the attrac-
tons of our own great Northwest been
properly placed before the Eastern peo-
pie? These are questions we commend
to the attention of those who are inter-
ested in the development of the North
west.
We cannot restrain our Eastern cous-
ms from spending their money in
travel, nor would we if we could. But
we may possibly induce them to lavish
it where it will do them and us more
good than the present mode of expendi-
ture. If the 100000 Americans who go
to Europe every summer would turn
their footsteps toward the National
Park, or some other Western direction,
this country would be in pocket pref
ty big sum of money each year, that
we are now being drained of.

STUDY OF THE BIBLE.
DIR. Patton's Baccalaureate Ser
mon at Princeton.

PRINCETON, N. j., June S.-The eX-
crclses of the 143d annual commence
ment of the College of New.Jersey were
begun this morning with the baccala-
ureate sermon delivered by DIR.
Patton. Speaking of the study of
the Bible and the methods of
its Interpretation, DR.. Patton said:
''When l find men treating metaphor as
fact, reading poetry as they would con-
strue an act of congress, seeking Spir-
itual sense in any commonplace express
sIoD, missing the point of parable,
feel that Matthew Arnold was right
in reminding us that the BIZ
BILE is literature. You have made
great trend of evidence and don't halt
for minor difficulties, and don't let
trif1es feed double. We formulate our
faith in creed statements, and after
century or two find that the church and
the creed are not in exact accord. There
is nothing to wonder at. 1t is the same
old question of the letter and spirit. The
science of ethics is becoming the science
of what is, rather than what ought to
be, and if doctrine of right succeeds
at all. it is the determination that what
ever is, is right. In the name of reason,
/ protest against this tendency in
thought. l refuse to abdicate I'M
der the terrorism of popu-
lar sentiment. Historic move
ment as we'll as the actions of individu-
ais must be judged by fixed principles.
