and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life OF the indi-
Vidual. Such q remarkable event is
treasured in the memory and the agency
whereby the good health has been at

is that so much is heard in praise Of

GAINESVILLE, Mo, Jan Yester-
day afternoon Harry, the five year
old son of William Squires, was left
alone while his mother went to a
neighbours. The child locked the
door and in some way got his clothes
on fire from the stove. His screams
were heard by his mother and she
fastened home. Finding the door
locked she climbed through a window
and found the little fellow almost
dead. The chlId died in a few hours.

Who PAID for the Hat9

"Papa, will you please give me fifty
cents for my spring hat? Most all
the academy girls have theirs" mo
May; I can't spare the money" The
above request was persuasiveIy made
by a sixteen year old maiden as she
was preparing for school, one fine
spring morning. The refusal came
from the parent in a curt, Indifferent
tone. The disappointed girl went to
school. The father started for his
place of business. On his way thlther
he met friend, and, being a hail
fellow well met, he invited HIM INTO
Macs for a drink. AS usual, there
were others there, and the man that
could not spare his daughter fifty
cents for a hat, treated the crowd.
When about to leave he laid hall
dollar on the counter, which just paid
for the drinks. just then the saloon
keepers daughter entered, and gong
behind the bar said: ''Papa, I want
fifty cents Tor my spring hat" "Al
right" said the dealer, and taking
the half dollar from the counter, he
handed it over to the girl, who de
parted smiling. Mays father seemed
dazed, walked out alone, and said t.
himself: 81 had to bring my fifty
cents here for the rumselIer's daugh
ter to buy hat with, after refusing
to buy for my own daughter. II
never drink another drop" And h
kept his pledge. The same none!

Generals Morrel of Massachusetts,

millions of dollars anyway, so give III
a little to emigrate upon.

It is absolutely IudicrOus to observe
the GOODNESS with which the southern
white man decides both what is best
for the negro and what is the divine
will concerning him, without consult
ing the negro or having any special
authority to speak for the Almighty.
As long as the negro remained a slave
we were asked to admire the infinite
goodness displayed in inclining the
white man to transport him from At
RIGA in order that he might be Christi
anized and civilized. Just as soon as
he made a citizen, and there is a
prospect that he will achieve intelli-
gence and exhibit the qualities Of d
higher civilization, it Is discovered to
be the will of God that he be cast max
ed, unequIpped, unfriended into the
midst of the barbarous millions of At
RIGA, to act as an advance guard for
the civilized white powers who are
already at daggars drawn with each
other in their rage to destroy the peO-
pie and possess the treasures ofithe
Dark Continent! Poor negro! As
long as we could enslave his body we
were anxious to import him In order
that his soul might be saved by heal
ing contact with white civilization
| AS soon as he demands pay for his
labor, and a mans malienable right
of seIf-cOntrol, we discover that the
sweet impulse of Christian charity
demands that he give up his Ameri-
can citizenship; surrender his oppOr-
tunities for education and develop
ment; renounce the inheritance of
American civilization and be deport-
ed to Africa, either to SINK beneath
its overwhelming barbarIsm or serve
as a cats paw for the white Christian
robbers who are even now planning
its conquest and depOpulationl -

THE NEW TARIFF.

The bill reported by the Ways and
Means Committee will, it is estimated,
reduce the revenue of the Government
by about SGO,000,OOO. OF this reduc-
tion $1s,000,0 900 will be effected by the
abolition of internal revenue taxes,
mainly on tobacco, and 500, 900, 900 by
lowering the duty on sugar. \ million
and quarter will be surrendered by
additions to the free list.
Present rates, however on con
siderable variety of products are in
creased, but, on the whole, the measure
may be taken as an honest effort to carry
into execution the promises repeatedly
made in Republican platforms with re-
spect to tariff revision,
y curious feature of the bill is the
increase of the duty on potatoes, bar
ley, buckwheat, oats, butter and other
products. AS our farmers produce these
articles in excess of all domestic de-
mand, and, in the case of each of them,
desire a large, liberal and lively export
trade, which might take up our surplus
crops, the lack of any beneficial pur-
pose in these provisions is very evil
dent. In our potato and buckwheat
markets our people do not at present
fear foreign competitor. In these re-
spects, what they most earnestly desid-
crate is foreign purchaser,
The duty on wool of all grades is in
creased. Under the present tariff raw
silk is on the free list. The proposed
measure makes it dutiable. The same
thing is true of several materials used
in our manufactures. Under all cir
cumstanCes, and for either party, the
tariff is difficult matter to handle A
multitude of interests must be respected
and cared for. 1t is probable that the
Ways and Means Committee has sur
veyed the field with great thorough
ness and planned its revision with all
the wisdom available in the case. Every
provision of the bill will be carefully
scrutinized by Congress. The great
thing to insist on and secure is that the
public interests shall not be betrayed to
build up monopolies.
The Washington critic., 1890-03-21
FOOD ADULTERaTION

The bill now being considered in
Congress, which aims at the imposition
of discriminating tax upon compound
lard, seems to be conceived and framed
in the interest of class. 1t is not pre-
tended that this composite product of
cotton seed oil and beef tallow is not as
pure in its nature as the fat of the hog.
AS fact, cotton seed and beef tallow
are as much products of the farm as the
lard of swine, and there is. on the sur
face, no reason why the policy Of the
Government should discredit one agri-
cultural industry for the benefit Of
another.
The tax which the Government i'm
poses on oleomargariue is intended to
favor one product at the expense of an in
teTest which has had ample time to grow
from the of days Abraham dowuwards.
The oleomargarine investment is like
the compound lard interest in this re-
spect, that both are certified on the
highest scientific authority to be abso-
lutely wholesome. What can be the
possible interest of States, or of the Ma
tional Congress in legislating on such
questions? Why should either the
nation or a State discriminate in favor
OF any particular industry at the ex-
pense Of another.
But all this curious law making,
prompted by greed and evaded only,
ii evaded at all, by doubtful eXpedi-
dents, suggests that it is the duty both
Of the Federal and State Governments
TO investigate the character and quality
Of the food supplies of the people. At
this point most State Governments are
50 remiss that they may be said TO be
altogether imperative. Congress can
only control the District of Columbia
and the Territories. For this reason
The power Of Congress is, Of course, cir
cUmscribed, but if il can be once
awakened, it may at least become eff,
fective within its limited range.
The real object which legislation,
both national and State, should aim at
IS the suppression of the fraudulent
adulteration both of food and drink.
The statutes Of the several states con
demn and denounce this thing, but no
effective machinery is provided for the
disclosure Of the oliense and the prose.
cution Of the offender. What is whole
some TO eat and drink is of the utmost
consequence to the people. The public
expects the Government to ascertain
asd inform them In this respect, but
