Bogus Cream.

A lady who resides in the west end re-
lates today the strange confession Of q
milkrnan. For some time past she had sus-
pected that the cream left at her house
was diluted. Although it had plenty Of
foam on top it did not seem to be equal
in quality to good milk. She determined
to interrogate the milkman, and so she
watched for him. When he came she
informed him Of her suspicion. At first
he insisted that the cream was as good as
any sold, but when she persisted in her
statement that she had dranl. country
mill; that was far better he weakened
and said:
"Can you keep secret, mum? Well.
to tell you the truth, mum, the cream
you got is not cream at all The foam
that is on top is made from the white Of
eggs. and is put there to make YOU be-
lieve you are getting the genuine article.
But you are right in suspecting that you
amt. mum. It's nothing but q delusion
and maybe you might say shame
too. But | don't know Most people
never find ont the difference, and as
long az they don't know as how they are
being fooled, why, what's the odds?'-

An IElporfant Decision.

The supreme court of Rhode Island
has jHst set aside viii probated fifty
years ago. The late Joseph Green. q
stanch Quaker, was greatly disturbed
during his latter years by members of his
family marrying without the pale Of the
society. and attempted BY his will to be-
stow his estate for the benefit of those
present whom he considered orthodox
Friends. or Wiiberites, as distinguished
from other branches OF the society. The
will was unContested until abont two
years ago
The property involved comprises about
100 acres i'll the center of jamestown, on
the island of Conanlcut. The petitioner
contendtd that the application of the es-
tate rested upon the trustees determining
the true and actual religious belief of the
benefciaries While It II possible to
ascertain ones religious professions, the
petitioners claimed that it is not within
human power to ascertain belief The
court declared the bequest voil. -Ex-

Cheap Sugar.
New York Herald,

The increasing emphasis with which Repub-
licans boast that the Mckinley bill has cheap
ened sugar by two cents per pound Is both IN
teresting and amusing.
Everybody uses sugar. and therefore We
congratulate everybody on the fact that II has
dropped in price. The saving will be very
considerable. even in families where economy
is a necessity. but when We come TO think of
the inexphcable tons which are annually used
by sixty-hve millions of people who are all re-
markable for u sweet tooth and of the mil
lions Of hard money which that decrease Of
two cents per pound represents, 1t cheers the
cockes Of our heart and we feel a sense Of
profound qualification.
As We understand il, the reason for this i'm
mense jubilaton is found in the fact that
cheap sugar is regarded by the Republicans as
a good thing. Ii reduces the cost of living
aud is a boon TO the wage-earner. We are
impelled 10 ask. therefore, whether cheap
sugar is the only blessing which ought TO be
conferred upon the poor! Why not give them
cheap clothing also, and cheap everything
else Why take two cents per pound of Of
sugar and put fifty cent tax on the price Of
wooden shirt OF pstticost: II the principle
Is a sound one. and 1t Is not true, after all
that cheap necessaries OF life make cheap
men. why in the name of common sense
should the benefaction be confined 10 one
article rather than extended 10 all?
The laboring classes are sufficiently grateful
for cheap sugar. We hope. but they would
doubtless be very much more grateful if the
Republican party would drop the high tariff
on other articles of daily consumption. If
this is refused. perhaps they will help to elect
the other party and see what that will do for
them.

Our Terrible Visitor.
lAtlanta Constltntion.l

The grip thi, winter has numbered NOR
victims and filled more graves IN this coun-
try than the cholera. yellow fever. OF any
other plague ever rolled up IN It's mortuary
list
After it's disastrous ravages in the South and
Southwest the disease struck the northern
halt of the Union. and is carrying death IN It's
march. In Chicago 1t has killed at the rate Of
81 per /, 900. and the authorities have been
urged to fire cannon and build bon-tires 10
purify the atmosphere
New York has had 1876 policemen down with
the malady Cincinnati has had about $1,000
cases. aud Pittsburg has suffered heavily.
In New York the doctors agree with the
physicians of Edinburg that there is Nh intl-
mate relation between this epidemic and mel
ancholia. a form Of insanity. The disease
affects the mind and the nerves The mental
excitement sometimes resembles that pro-
duced by alcohol. There are Authorizations,
and occasionally temporary or permanent IN
sanity Dr. Sptza is not willing To admit
what is said about insanity. but he flnds IN
those who recover from the grip morbid fears,
loss of will power. and what IS called anxious
melancholia He IS confident that these dis
orders are durable.
But the people in New York believe that
the grippe frequently runs into insanity. and
naturally they are IN a panicky condition
that increases their danger. II IL 10 be hoped
that this plague will not be an annual visitor.
At present medical science ia hardly equal TO
the task of successfully combating 1t.

The Indelible Billion.
Nav York SUM

NEW 1OTh SUM-
From one end OF the land TO the other the
Republican Fifty-frst Congress is now known
as the Billion Congress. Here and there it is
called the Billion Dollar Congress The first
style is the better. II is more compact, more
euphonous, and sufficiently descriptive and
damning.
The brand of the slender unit mark and the
nine fat ciphers is on the Republican Fifty
first, and there il will remain forever. There
have beenI congresses Of one sort and another,
but there was never one like this. IL stands
in history as the first Billion Congress known
to infamy.
II must be the last
Let the Democratic newspapers keep the
black 81, 900 900, 900 before the eyes of the
people. Let the phrase the Billion Con
gress, ring in every Democratic platform and
from every stump. IL is more than an cpl
tibet. II is a political argument, convincing
and unanswerable, and political indictment
terrible beyond precedent.

played and conscientiously employed, will

Mr.. Porter on the Progress of the South


Mr.. Robert f. Porter. superintendent of the
United States Census. after trip through the
South. being asked his reason for visiting, the
South. responded. The South's develop
ment" and afterwards remarked: why, the
South's progress is marvellous. just think OF
il. The South ia to-day producing as much
pig iron as the entire country did in 1870. The
next step is steel. believe that the next ten
years will show as much relative growth or
past has shown in the production of pig-iron.
The census has startled me in the enormous
growth Of the South in every respect. These
statistics are correct Take the coal produc-
ton of Alabama In 1880 the production was
$50. 900 tons: in 1850 it was 100000 Cotton
factories have more than doubled.
Surely this is testimony, indeed. favorable
to the South. and it simply illustrates the
views Of every intelligent visitor 70 the south
ern States No country ever had a brighter
future. and the next ten years will show
marvellous development.
