Adulterated Flour,

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 2S.-Ihe scan
dial arising from the discovery OF adulter-
ated -four here is apt to make trouble Tor
a number of people. The consignment
comprised 100000 pools (7,SOO,OOO En-
glish pounds) of barley flour, which had
been purchased from dealers at Libau
with a view to regulating the price OF
wheat in the st. Petersburg market as
we'll as to afford relief to famine suffer
ers. Investigation proved the entire
consignment had been adulterated with
chalk dust and other substances. To
make certain of the nature of the adul
terates employed government officials
had a quantity of the so-called Hour sub
jected to chemical analysis. This dis
closed the fact that several substances
had been used for the ad~ulteration OF
the flour and that they comprised such &
large proportion of the consignment thai
the use of the alleged -four would have
constituted a very dangerous menace t.
the health if not to the lives of those
who partook of it.

Humphreys In No Hurry.

TOPEKA, Kan. Dec. Qualifications
are arriving daily to urge the claims of
different candidates for appointment to
succeed the late Senator Plumb. Gov.
Humphreys has been importuncd and

A Social Hint.

Men should go early to party, adj
vises the Atchison Globe, even If they
have to go before supper, and sit in the
parlor all alone while the hostess is
dressing. If a man is late he is taken
around circle of about forty people
and introduced to every one of them,
and there is nothing more awkward
than a man when he tries to bow. Eve
~ one in the room stops talking and
stares at him, and if there are any six
teen-year-old girls present he can hear
a suppressed giggle when he is trying
his best to be graceful. A man is never
graceful except when he is saving
wood or hammering nail, and society
should not expect him to bow like a
woman who has spent years learning
how to handle her feet and hands.

Success in Life.

Success means different things to diff
ferent people. When that phrase:
''There goes a successful man."
is heard it probably means one who
has attained unusual wealth. 1t is
understood that our visiting English
cousins show more curiosity to see some
of America men who are millionaires
fifty or hundred times over than any
thing else we can show them. Yet sue
cess is but relative term. Henry Will
son, for nearly double score of years
prominent in Massachusetts, politics
and in both houses of congress, was SO
poor that when elected vice president
on the ticket with Gen. Grant his
friend Charles Sumner had to lend him
one hundred dollars to pay his expenses
to and in Washington for the Inaugural
ton. But Mr.. Wilson certainly was q
successful man. Longfellow, with his
bust in Westminster Abbey and his
songs in the hearts of the civilized
world, was grandly successful, though,
perhaps, Commodore Vanderbilt, with
his accumulated millions, wouldn't have
thought him so. Gen. Grant, dying rel
atively poor, and Gen. Sheridan, leav-
ing only some life insurance and a pros
pective pension, would scarcely be set
down as unsuccessful men!

OutraGing Immigrants.

Gov. Tillman, of South Carolina, has
received letter from Arthur v. Brie-
son, of New York, president of the
German Legal Aid society, calling his
attention to complaints made by Ger
man immigrants against treatment re-
ceived by them at the Pom Pom phos-
phate mines in Colleton county. The
letter states that last December twenty
five Germans were induced by an adj
vertisement in Philadelphia paper to
go to the mines and work for one dollar
and fifty cents day. They were re-
ceived by guards carrying Winchesters
and revolvers, were paid seventy-ive
cents per day, and had to buy pro-
visions of Contractor Salvatore at ex-
cessively high rates. They were
watched as though they were criminals.
Declining to work Sundays they were
told they would be shot, and endeavored
to leave, but were driven back by the
guards. Two escaped and laid their
grievances before the society in New
York. Gov. Tillman has instructed So
hcitor Murphy to go to the mines and
make an investigation. 1t is said that
If the abuses complained of exist they
are unknown to any except the Italian
bosses at the mines.

NIOlasseS as Fuel.

a calculation has been made of the
comparative results, from an econom-
ical point of view, of the substitution
of molasses for coal as fuel, which
has now for some time been practiced
in certain parts of the south. Accord
ing to this the lowest grades of vacuum
pan Of molasses contain from 20 to 25
per cent. of sugar, which cannot be ex-
tracted by existing machinery, and, es-
timating barrel of such molasses to be
worth net so cents orS1, and that a bar
rel holds $50 pounds of molasses, the
molasses would thus be worth one or
two cents q gallon, and from one
eleventh to one-ffth of cent per
pound. Now, Pittsburgh coal brought

years cost one-ffth of cent per pound.

that only one-half the quantity of mo-

Lincoln Relics at the Worlds Fair.

From q recent report it is learned
that the women of illinois contemplate
an exhibit of Lincoln relics at the
worlds fair. 1t is said that the women
who compose the Sangamon County
Worlds Columbian Exposition club
will devote all their energies to the
preparation of a Lincoln exhibit for
the worlds fair. Now Menard county
proposes to join Sangamon in this un-
dertaking. At the last meeting of the
Menard county committee a committee
was appointed to confer with a COM
mittee to be appointed by the Sanga-
mon county club to see what could be
done in the way of cooperation in the
matter. The Sangamon county club
will prepare a Lincoln souvenir volume
and will also make a collection of Lin
coin relics. Ample space has been set
apart for the display and it will consti-
tute the chief feature of the Illinois his
torical exhibit.

An Interesting Lawsuit.

A recent decision of the United States
supreme court revives interest in liti-
cation which is based upon business
transaction during war times. An out
line of the case. is thus given in the
Washington Post:
In 1856 FL. L. Opie sold for forty-one
thousand dollars large tract of farm
land in jefferson county, then Virginia
and now West Virginia, to Henry w.
Castleman, part of the payment being
made in cash and the rest in interest
bearing notes. Those payments, which
fell due between 1851 and 1854, Castle
man paid in confederate money and
Virginia bank notes, both OF which
were deprecated currency, going for
the purpose of payment from the United
States military lines in West Virginia
into the confederate lines in Virginia
and making the payments to Mrs. Opie.
The sons Of Mrs. Opie were in the con-
federate army and she accepted the
money, which was divided between the
members of the family, and in 1865, at
her request, the trustees executed
deed of release. About fifteen years af-
terward suit was brought against Cas-
tleman and the point made that the
payments in confederate money did
not constitute a payment in lawful
money, as required by the terms of sale.
The United States district court Of
West Virginia gave Judgment against
Castleman, but the United States SUI
preme court, in an opinion by Justice
Harlan. reversed that judgment, hold
ing that the action on the part of the
Opies came too late.

The Chinese Incensed.

An emphatic protest by the Chinese
minister has been filed already at the
state department against the Chinese
exclusion act, which has just become a
law. The protest was fled before Pres
ident Harrison had attached his sigma
ture to the bill in the hope that he
might veto it.
The protest goes over the history Of
American legislation and the treaties
by which China and the United States
have bound themselves, and declares
this particular bill to be the most fla
grant and direct violation of treaty
stipulations which has ever passed con-
gress. The scathing denunciations of
the measure which were uttered on the
floor of the two houses by Senator
Sherman, Congressman Hit and other
opponents of the bill are turned to
good account in the protest as descrip-
tons of the real character of the meas
ure by American statesmen. There is
fine vein of irony running through
some of these citations, although it is
carefully yelled in diplomatic language.
The Chinese legation at Washington
was in constant cable communication
with the home government during the
consideration of the bill in congress,
and the Chinese government has been
promptly informed of every step taken.
There seems to be no undue irritation
felt in China over the matter, but there
is disposition to make it plain to the
United States that the government of
China views the enactment of the bill
as discourteous act hardly to have
been expected from a friendly nation.

scientific Progress.

Intellect is the great factor in COM
mercial success, whether of individuals
or nations. Take the case of the skilled
bricklayer and the bod carrier. The
first is using brains on his work; the
second is using brute force. When he
goes up the ladder with his hod Of
bricks he has also to carry his own
weight, thus wastefuIy expanding
force. Some one notices this, and sub
stitutes for the brute force Of the hui
man that Of the horse; then the horse
is displaced by the mechanical force
of the. steam engine, which can do the
work of fifteen men or of two horses
in the same time. Coal converted into
heat is doing all the work. The coal
mined each year in the United States
represents in actual work more than
the sum of the force of the total popu-
lation of the globe, assuming all to be
strong men. Thus the substitution of
q natural force for human power vastly
increases the productive capacity of the
human race.
Guided by intellect, taught by science,
the natural forces can do in few
hours what the unaided labor of many
men could not do in a lifetime. It was
not prophecy, says the Aluminium Age,
but flash of genius, that drew from
Stephenson the assertion that it is the
sun that drives the locomotive engine
by being liberated from the coal in
which it has been stored for ages. But
man can neither create forces nor en-
dow anything with properties. Allthat
he can do is to convert and combine
them into utilities. The man that does
this with knowledge is spared the dismal
failure of ignorance, but he that tries
to use powers without understanding
them is inevitably punished for rash
presumption. It is this presumption
that causes the mortality and disease
that follow in the wake of civilization.
Natural law, like the civil, never admits
ignorance as an excuse.

APPARENTLY the only way to keep
safe is to keep going. Somebody has
figured it down fine and proved to the
most skeptical that a man must travel
thirty miles an hour for each day of the
year for one hundred and fifty-eight
years before his turn would come to be
killed. Nowhere in the world is travel
by rail so comfortable, not to say lux
urious, as in America; but before the
one hundred and fifty-eight years
should have come we would be looking
for somebody to give Us the coup de
grace with club. We are half in
clined to think this statistician has
overdone the matter and proved too
much.
