The Ill effects of the intense August

No summer for years has seen so
many deaths OF little children in this
state, and there was never more sick
ness among children IN Grand Rapids.
As cool weather comes on children
require the most wholesome, nourlsh-
ing and palatable diet possible. and
laciated food should be in the hands of
every mother. Sudden changes of the

CHICAGO REJECTS THE NUDE.

New York Herald: Some of the Chicago
people are trying hard to blush over Dianns
lack OF store clothes, but thus far the efforts
have been a dismal failurel
Kansas City Star: Tho Womans Chris
tian union is scanoaliZed by the proposition
to place statue of Diana upon the agricul
tural building at the Worlds fair. The point
is made that it would be disgrace to display
4 nude figure In SO prominent place.
New York Sun: What is most interesting
in the human cody, clad or unciad, is the
spirit that animates it. What gives value to
representations of the human body IN art is
ing that spirit. Whether the work is moral
or not depends not on its draperies but on
the spirit that it expresses.
Buffalo Express: Now, in the name of all
that is chaste and pure, we ask these women
what they mean. They arc intelligent they
are edu Gated, and, without doubt, as true
women they love the beautiful Is there
anything more beautiful that an artistically
constructed statuel Is there anything i'm
modest in the representation in marble or
bronze of the curves and outlines of q
woman's figure, even III that woman happens
to be heather goddess!
at Chicago object to the reception and use of
the nude statue of Diana taken down from,
the Maids on square garden tower in New
York and sent to the windy city. The only
trouble with Diana was that she was not in
harmony with her surroundings IN New
York, her merit as work of art being UNI
questioned but with her travels her trou bles
began. Art in Chicago must be curious
thing and its devotees strange prlestesses
when "a weathervane, the only fault of which
is that it is the female form divine Is to be

Tho work Is in tho hands Of Sonor Canovas
Vallejo, nephew Of the Spanish pre- nier,
and Prof Traynor. The original CHART
which was traced In tho year 1900 by the ia
nous navigator and photographer, Juan de Ia
Cosa, who acted as pilot to Columbus In moro
than one Of his voyages across the Atlantic
has beon carefully preserved in tho Naval
museum in Madrid. II presents some most
interesting features showing the extent Of
the knowl edge OF the best informed geogra-
piers Of the day. On 1T are depicted tho
West Indies aud a small part OF South Amer
ioa-the northeastern section lying between
the river Amazon and Panama. To this land
the general name OF Tierre Firme Is given to
mark tho contrast between the continent and
the Antilles. Here aud there are traces of
modern names, such as Venezuela, Mara
caibo and Brazil. The chart contains some
particulars of the discoveries made In North
ern America by Sebas tan Cabot in 1497 and
such titles as these: "Sea discovered by the
English" "Euglish Cape" Lizard" and
"St. George" La Cosn has also clearly de-
picted Cuba as an island. whereas Columbus
died in the belief that 1t was continent,
and it was not until eight years later that
the correctness of La Cosa's chart was in

UTAR rs PROGRESSING.
Report of the Utah Commission for the Year
Made Public.

Made Public.
WASHINGTON, d. G., Sept. 23.-Secretary
Noble has re eceived the annual report of the
proceedings of the Utah commission for the
year ending September last, during which
tune three sessions were held, one ut Chicago
and two at Salt Lake City.
Speaking of political matters, the commits
sion says that change is apparent in the
political situation in Utah. which, il prop
erly fostereu and honestly managed, will be
productive of good results.
Considerable space in the report is devoted
TO a discussion of the subject of polyRamy.
The commission insists that polygamy still
exists, and that there are many cases cou-
stautly coming to the public knowledge of
association between polygamists and the
plural wives they had confessed to have put
away is fact that cannot be controverted.
The commission says that fifteen male per-
sons ure believed to have entered into polyga-
nous marriages during the last year, and
moro than 300 persons who are known are
believed to be now living in polygamous rela-
lions. 1t is not true, the report says. that
the commission has ever selected, knowingly,
"a corrupt man." "known gambler" or a
''disreputable character" for registration
or election officer. and If by chance such a
person has been appointed 1T has not vot
been brought to the attention Of the COM
mission.
December last the church authorities petit
toned the president for general amnesty
for the Mormon people. In the opinion of the
commission, the report says, it is the most i'm
portant document that the church has yet Is
sued, and contains the most direct and posi-
tive statement of Its desires and promises
for the future which has yet come from that
source. Without asserting to all the asser-
tions of the appeal, the commission would be
glad If the relief prayed for could be granted.
That Utah is advancing on the plane oil
progress the commission freely admits.

INTEREST ON BONDED DEBTS,

Some interesting facts concerning in
terest charges on public bonded debts
are presented by the census bureau,
showing great decrease in the amount
of interest now paid and also falling
Off in the rate. Leaving the national
bonded debt out of the account the av-
erage interest rate has decreased during
ten years 0.SS per cent, and tho average
interest charge on the aggregate bonded
DEBT has decreased 039 per cent. 1t ap-
pears that the decrease would have been
much greater if the government had re-
served an option on its AS and per
cent boTIs. On account of q lack of
such option many states and cities are
also paying high rate of interest. An
illustration of this is furnished by the
city OF New York. In 1889 that munich
pality sold $l2,93l ,63S of long time bonds
at par or above, though they only bear
2. 8 per cent interest. OF the entire in
debtedness of the city S25,9sO,60O bears
per cent, s36, ,270,Oi0 bears per cent,
1885, .S4S bears per cent and n
large amount per cent. II these
large sums could have been refunded
into bonds bearing the low rate placed
on those of 1889 an enormous sum Of
money would have been saved to tho
taxpayers, but the option was lacking,
so the high rates of interest continue on
the greater portion OF the city's debt
Tho same is true OF the bonded debts of
other cities and states. If tho right to
| refund had been reserved the prevailing
| low rates would make it possible to
] vastly decrease the interest charge.
financial writer in lhe New York
Commercial Bulletin expresses the belief
that if all the bonded indebtedness OF
the country could have been refunded
in 1890 at the best rates obtainable, in
bonds worth par in the market, the av-
erage rates on the resulting indebted
ness would have been little, if any, in

DISPLEASED UGWUMPs.

1t is not surprising that the mugwump
supporters of Mr.. Cleveland and those
New York democrats who fought Sen
ator Hill at Chicago and are designated
'anti-snappers," are displeased at the
shot which the senator fired al them in
his Brooklyn speech. His declaration
that there is no place in honorable
American politics for the political guer-
rillas who do not attach themselves to
either of the great political armies, but
who, while swearing allegiance to nei
ther, criticise them both, and fight first
upon one side and then upon the other"
while it delighted the hearts and minds
OF the faithful, is said to have deeply
wounded some of the so-called indepen-
dents, who it is but fair to say were
justly designated by Senator Hill.
There is manifest determination on
the part of the regular democratic or
ganization in New York to give the
mugwump element to understand that
its help is not desired, and this is the
significance of the thrust of Mr.. Hill.
This element has always eXerted more
or less of an influence with Mr.. Cleve-
land. In the early part OF his admins
tration its wishes were more potential
with him than those of democrats who
had never wavered in their fidelity to
the party, and since then he has shown
great deal OF fondness for their bland
ishments. 1t is not doubted that one OF
the reasons for summoning Cleveland to
New York two weeks ago was to get
from him an assurance that in the event
of his election he would recognize as
having claim to his consideration only
democrats, and there is reason to believe
that such an assurance was obtained.

THE activity which the health author
tiles are showing in their efforts to put
the city In Il proper sanitary condition
is reassuring. The large number of

GETTING BADLY DEMoRAL1zED.

In view of the fact that election day
would seem to be high time for the dom
ocrats who are discussing the tariff to
hold general conference and try to
ascertain their bearings in relation to
this important subject. "Where am |
at?' is getting to be q pertinent ques-
tion for the democracy. Its leading
spirits are not IN accord upon the sub
ject Of the tariff, and the open rebellion
against the Chicago platform has so de-
moralized the party that it is now COM
mitted TO a larger assortment OF views
upon this issue than any party can en-
brace and still remain sane. We are
panied to see indications that the men,
tai outfit of the Kansas City Times has
already broken down under the strain.

lican vote in Maine to the reduction of

Perhaps it does. This kind of tariff
reasoning Is too deep for the average
mind. There seems to be a sort of double
action about it that is confusing, to say
the least.
When Senator Hill made his speech
in Brooklyn the other night it was ac-
cepted by the democrats generally as

Among the lowest rates paid on state
bonds are per cent by Ohio, 3.2l by

Congressman Springer is talking about tin
plate now just as his party talked about steel
rails when only per cent of those used in this
country were made in this country. Now all
are manufactured in the United States, which
makes more iron, more steel and more steel
rails than Great Britain. If Mr.. Springer's

will make more tin plate than Great Britain ,
and the $50 900 persons needed, taking work

use up the wheat Mr.. Springer wants to send
abroad, and a good deal more.
