MUST HAVE PURE MILK.

From an interview with the Chief Clerk
of the Health Bureau published in our
local columns it will be seen that there is
altogether too much milk adulteration GO
ing or Pittsburg just now. There is only
one cure for this evil, and that lies in the
prompt prosecution and iDfiction of maxi
mum penalties on all offenders
Both wholesale and retail dealers are at
fault The former do not seek to excuse
themselves, while the latter are apt to
plead the keenness of competition as an
extenuating circumstance. They claim
that they cannot purchase milk for less
than twenty-five cents gallon, and that
they have to sell it at six cents quart to
obtain a market This is all nonsense.
The law says that pure milk shall be sold
and nothing but pure milk, and the law
must be enforced. Those who cannot
deal in the lacteal fluid at profit without
adulterating it had better 60 into another
business unless they have a desire to pay
the penalty or conduct charitable distri-
button.
But it is very evident that one inspector
Is utterly unable to cope properly with the
immense shipments made in this city
daily. The demand for second inspector
should be granted at once, for the public
must have pure milk even if it have to pay
q trif1e more for it than for mixture of
unknown quantities.

To RETURN To ACTIVITY,

Eighty thousand iron ard steel workers
more or less directly affected by the Anal.
mated Associations scale were out of
employment on July1 Forty thousand of
these are already back at work, and the
great majority Of the rest are expected to
be busted again in day or two. Any
Slight differences which threatened to
arise within the association itself have
been amicably settled, and the particulars
of individual steelmakers' demands are
all that now remain to be settled. There
is every probability that even before the
end of the hot weather the great bulk of
these men Will be busily engaged.
Coming during the hot season, when re-
pairs and vacations are always the rule,
the delay has been comparatively small
evil, and the uncertainty involved was the
worst part Of it, Both employers and
employees are to be congratulated on the
prospect of an Immediate return to in
ddstrial activity. And every amicable
settlement of this kind is an added prece-
dent to the feasibility Of deciding differ
ences between capital and labor by delib-
crate discussion and mutual concession.

TOO EARLY TO TELL.

Supervising Architect Edbrooke esti.
mates that the new eighthour law will
bring to the Government an increased ex.
pense of So, 600, 900 year on its building
contracts alone. He bases his calcula-
tions on the assumption that the average
increase in cost resulting from the bill
recently passed will be IL per cent Then
he figures out that IL per cent of $25, ,OOO,.
600, which, he says, is about the annual
national expenditure on public buildings,
is 50, ,0Oo, 900.
There is matter for discussion In these
calculations. The law does not necessi-
tate any increase in cost at all 1t does
not, in the first place, demand that the
contractors whom it will employ in future
shall pay men at tho same rate for an
eight as for nine-hour day. But this is
hardly worth noting, since the law will
probably act in this direction. The point
of real Importance is found in the expert
ence of various employers who have VOL
UNFAIRLY made a reduction to the eight
hour day without lessenipg the amount
formerly paid for nine hours work. They

THE OUTLOOK FOR PROTECTION.

Whitelaw Reid's remarks on the RepuO-
lican situation are reassuring to all patri-
otic supporters of Protective policy. His
estimate of the bright outlook for the sue
cess of his party is the more valuable In
that he prefaced 1T by pointing out the
danger of er-conidence in victory, and
under estimation of the enemy's strength.
No precaution should be neglected, and
every assailable point is the better for
strong fortifcation.
Simultaneously with his statement as to
the solidity of the party in New York
came the news that Platt and Quay have
fallen into line to march with their party
in defense of its principles. While there
is danger at such times as this of over
estimating the necessity and value of pla-
eating individual leaders, their unqualified
adherence to principles after disappoint-
ment in the selection of the men to repre-
sent them is no slight help to the success
of their party's cause.
Once again Mr.. Reid clearly define d the
issue of this campaign as being a struggle
between Protection on the one hand and
Free-trade on the other. The party Of
Protection is rapidly organizing a solid
front, for it has a patriotic principle to be
proud of. 1t stands upon the ground
which its National Convention occupied
and holds it against all comers. On the
other hand the Free-trade forces are di-
vided as to men, and many of them shirk
the issue made by their authorized repre-
sentatives. They are pledged by their
platform utterances to disregard entirely
the welfare of the American workmen and
the prosperity of American industries.
They evade their pledge and seek other
battle-cries to lead them in their fight
Judging between these rival hosts, the
voter who reserves the power to think for
himself can hardly make a mistake. He
must as a patriot vote for the ticket
pledged to American prosperity, and he
cannot lend his allegiance to rabble
that disregards the orders of the leaders it
chose for itself, and knows not for what it
is fighting. The Free-trade plank is the
Democratic party's greatest weakness be-
fore the nation, and it has already proven
source of schism even within itself. A
party pledged to a policy which is ex-
tremely distasteful to large section of its
partisan supporters has little chance in
appealing to those without its ranks.

AN EMPHATIC AUGURY.

If any Republican has suffered from
faint-heartedness concerning the outcome
of this falls campaign the double-leaded
outbreaks of the New York World with
regard to carrying divers and sundry
Western States for the Democracy ought
to reassure him. That vigorous but ex-
tremely slap-dash exponent of New
York Democracy has recently devoted a
large share of its editorial space to the daily
capture of Western State for Cleveland.
1t takes Iowa by storm on Monday; makes
an assault on Wisconsin Tuesday; places
the Republicans h0rs du combat in Illinois
on Wednesday; captures Nebraska by a
brilliant dash on Thursday; adds Kansas
to the triumphant procession on Friday;
and winds up the week by grand and
universal campaign which brings the
whole West into camp on Saturday.
Ali this is done in the impressive
double.leaded style, each article closing
with the declaration sensationalized by the
aid of italics: "a Democratic President
must be elected" This is wound up by
starting big campaign subscription under
the evident impression that the Western
States can be bought up.
All of which is encouraging for the Re-
publicans. For the esteemed World has
adopted this method of accomplishing nu-
merous political tasks; and its peculiar
style has never failed of attaining results
by contraries We are not quite sure
whether this is the fourth or fifth labor of
our journalistic Hercules; but it is far
enough along in the list to make it plain
that the Worlds double-leads and italics
are the reverse of a mascot 1t first un-
dertook to carry Rhode Island by these
convincing methods, which landed that
small Commonwealth decisively in the Re-
publican list Then 1t essayed placing q
restraint on Hill's midwinter convention
by a series of Intellectual 'Don'ts." The
next labor was to keep the anti-snappers
from kicking over the traces by the same
means. 1t mercifully spared Mr.. Cieve-
land its peculiar methods of booming the
Democratic cause before his nomination;
but having brought them to bear on the
election the usual result may be securely
foretold.
The esteemed World appears to have
usurped the function of its cotemporary,
the Herald, which used to Invariably get
down on the wrong side of the fence lust
before the national election. The World
does it in different style, but its hoodoo is
equally effective.

Of course, future developments alone can

At any rate it is generally acknowl-

TENNEssEE,s TROUBLE.

The present violent outbreak of lawless-
ness in Tennessee is the boiling over of
troubles that have been simmering for
months past There is only one question
now before the public in connection there
WITH and that is whether the law shall be
observed or whether it shall be openly
and disastrously defed. There is no
longer room for discussion as to the ad-
visibility or the reverse of employing con-
vict labor Tennessee is presumably a
Commonwealth constitutionally governed
by the representatives of its citizens.
These representatives enact certain laws,
and until those laws be repealed the man
who seeks to set them at naught is MOTH
ing more or less than an Anarchist to that
degree in which he defes them.
There has been far too much delay in
the executive suppression of insurrection.
But this is only one sign of the lawless-
ness prevalent in one form or another In
Tennessee. Matters came to a crisis in a
bloody struggle between the miners and
the military yesterday. Fortunately the
troops representing constituted authority
were victorious But the delay which al
lowed the lawless element to reach its
present strength is in no small degree re-
sponsible for the bloodshed which it in
VOWED.
A self-governed Commonwealth can
only maintain the liberty and peace nee
essary to a continuance Of healthy pros
perity by respecting the laws it enacts for
the regulation of its own afflirs. Ten
nesesans are long in learning this lesson,
and the sooner they get it by heart and
elect legislators and executive officers in
whom they have confidence the better it
VII be for them. In the meantime peace
must be preserved at all costs, and the
military must be kept in the field until the
whole uprising has been stamped out
