A BLATANT anarchist at a Chi,

A BLATANT anarchist at Chicago
meeting, held the other day, said that
ain this great country it is crime to
speak German, but during the late
war it was not considered crime for
q German to fight for the Union. !"
The Germans who fought for the
Union, their descendants and rela-
tiyes are Just as ready to fight against
loud -mouthed hlatherskites like this
fellow, who are generally driven from
their home countries for the country's
good, and who begin to reform the
Government of the United States be-
fore they get rid Of the steerage smell
that follows them.

WITH the lake carrying trade at its
lowest ebb and half the boats tied up
for lack of cargoes, the Seamen's
Union has at last reached the conclu-
sion that vessel-owners cannot be
coerced into paying union men So a
day when hundreds of sailors are
willing to work for $3.50. 1t was
about time The Seamen's Union
has gained for itself nothing but an
unenviable character for lawlessness
by its summer campaign. Men have
been beaten and nonunion crews ter
rorized, but no benefit has resulted to
the union. On the contrary, the
smuggling tactics of the union men
have only made f1rmer the determi-
nation Of the veSSel-owners to hire
whom they pleased. The edict has
now gone forth that men may ship at
whatever wages they can get, which
is the common sense plan. Supply
and demand regulate the wages of
sailors as they do those Of all other
classes of workers. and the union was
only kicking against the pricks when
it sought to nullify the laws Of trale.

IMMIGRANTS are continuing to come

IMMIGRANTS are continuing to come
to this country from all quarters.
Thus far, because of special care I'M
der our new quarantine system, we
have escaped. and there is, perhaps,
no probability Of serious inroads
here; but, to avoid unnecessary risks,
we believe it would be wise policy to
suspend immigration temporarily.
The President has the authority to
do this under the quarantine act.
We certainly do not need the thou
sands of immigrants who come here
every month. Aside from the chol-
era danger, there is still an industrial
danger. The situation has improved,
indeed, but there are thousands of
men out Of employment. 1t is our
duty to protect our own, 1t will be

THE country might well rejoice if
the optimistic view taken by factory
inspectors Of their duties and the re-
suits of their performance were well
founded. A number of Chicago fac
tory inspectors are Of opinion that
they have abolished the sweat shop.
The policeman with hoe might as
we'll claim to have abolished the
Canada thistle. The sweat shop is a
sporadic growth liable to break out
from time to time wherever con-
ditions exist favorable to it's exist
ence. Poverty, especially poverty
among among women, and more par
ticularly among women of foreign
birth and language, nurtures these
institutions at the roots, and no
police power or inspection is a check
upon unsanitary conditions and les
sening of social evils arising from
various causes. Eternal vigilance
will mitigate the sweat shop, but
cannot destroy it.

A Great French Pathologist.

Charcot's interest in the study of
nervous diseases was so intense that
he came in time to regard all men.
even his friends, from a pathological
point Of view. He was certain that
the unclean bent of Zola's, mind was
due to neurosiS, and he was not sure
that it did not prevail in Wagner's
music. He looked upon the German
Emperor as neuropath, and was
rather disappointed, perhaps as
much as a Frenchman as a
physician, that the Kaiser did
not become afflicted with general
paralysis. Charcot was ever on a
keen hunt for the brains of diseased
patients who interested him, and
when he learned of the death of
Burg, half-m mad man of genius whose
career he had watched, his first ques-
ton was: What has been done with
his brain?" When informed that it
had been buried with the body he
cried out, "The monster!" and then
added: 1T must have been rare

in Burq's face, such as / had never

It was the Duke Henry Of Brunswick

Ihh BLACK Jack inn.

A few days ago the ancient "hos-
tclrie" familiar to readers Of Dickens
as the "Black Jack" in Portsmouth
street, Glare Market, closed it's doors
forever, as the entire block of build
ings surrounding it is about to be ue-
molished. The "Black Jack" is the
house to which Sam Weller escorted
his master when that gentleman was
in search OF LoWtOn, Mr.. Perker's
clerk, on which occasion Mr.. Pick
wick heard the story Of the Queer
Client" related by the mysterious
lawyers clerk. The "Black Jack"
has for many years been a veritable
Mecca to the medical students who
have successfully braved the terrors
of the examination-room, for it was
customary for them to adjourn to it's
hospitable bar and duly inscribe the
names of the fortunate medicOS in d
register kept in the house for that
purpose. Among the signatures to
be seen are those Of James Paget and
Andrew Clarke, together with many
others who have since attained celeb
rity.
The death Of the BLACK Jack" adds
one more to the ghostly taverns
which have abounded in the immedi-
ate vicinity. The Spotted Dog"
the "White Lion" Of Jack Sheppard
notoriety, the "Bull's Head" where
Hogarth met his brother artists, and
the "Spillers Head" the Savage club
of those days, all stood within few
yards: while the Angel" another
house, claims Immortality as being
the place whence in 1854 Bishop
Hooper was taken to meet his death
at Gloucester. At this inn, so late as
1879, a negro girl was sold. The

that year, had the following adver-
tisemcnt: "To be sold, black girl,

The Breathing Cure.

There are two places on this globe where consumption never makes it's haunt They are respectively within the arctic and antarctic circles close around the north and south poles These two spots, however, not being conven- ient or agreeable as place of residence to the majority of mankind, it is neces- sary to find some other way of relieving those whose lungs are weak.
 Persons who are threatened with con- sumption and those in whose families this disease is hereditary should try the breathing cure. It has really saved the lives of those who, so far as human in- telligenee could perceive. were doomed to an early grave. 1t consists simply in taking in all the pure air you can in long, slow breaths. Of course the suf- ferer should live outdoors as much as possible. Air and sunshine scatter con- sumption microbes But whether out doors or in 1t will help every one. con sumptive or otherwise, to draw in who'll ly through the nostrils long, deep inha- lations of the purest air he can get. Breathe slowly. but tremendously.
 A brother and sister who came of a consumptive family began the breath ing cure 20 years ago. The lady was 80 weak she could scarcely stand and had already cough when she began taking in at every inspiration all her poor lungs would hold of the air which the AL mighty has bestowed on us so lavishly. To all intents and purposes her doom was already sealed. But she persisted in the slow, deep hreaths. She has to- day no sign of consumption about her. The brother, who began the habit of taking long, deep breaths, is noticeable anywhere for his strong lungs and well developed chest.
 Even if as matter of good looks you want to develop fine, full chest, the way to do it is to hold your chest up, not allowing it for one moment to slump down upon your stomach, and persist in the practice of inha1ing slowly all the air you can at every breath.
 Fill the upper part of the lungs espe- cially, for this is the part that gets starv- ed of it's share of air. and consequently the part on which the consumption mi crobes frat fasten. Edwin Checkley, the athlete. says that 10 times minute is often enough for any one to take breath. Rapid breathing exhausts the muscles concerned in the operation.

A Bnn In a China Shop,

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 20.-An angry bull escaped from herd that was be- ing driven down Market street, when he dashed into Charles McNeaFs china store, and before he was driven out he broke everything within his reach. The herd was bound for Camden and was driven by Joseph Bates. AS Eleventh street was reached one of a crowd of small boys alarmed the bull, which turned and dashed into the shop. Once in, plates, bowls, crockery and every thing breakable were thrown down and broken. The proprietor, who was at work in the back office, came out and tried to drive the beast away, but it re- qnired quarter of an hour and the as- sistance of the herdsman and police man to dislodge him. Almost an entire corner of the store was wrecked and the damage has not yet been estimated

In case Of sickness we consult phy- siciasl, in property troubles We seek our lawyer, and it is but reasonable to suppose that in the financial troubles of the present day, the bankers must necessarily play an important part. The thinking peo- pie will watch with no small degree of interest the discussions and con. clusions arrived at by those whose experience and business qualifca- tions, enable them to advise and speak intelligently upon matters of finance. Horace White, whose abil- ity and judgment stand high in the commercial world, delivered an ad- dress pregnant with sound doctrines and timely advice. The want Of elasticity in our present system of currency and bond security for bank notes were discussed at length. Those who are interested in our na- tional banking methods will find that the proceedings of the Banksrs Convention furnish at least food for deep reflection. They are living questions-questions which can be dealt witE only by careful eontem- plation, business men whose attain ments in life have prepared them for such work Hasten the day when such deliberations will be en- couraged by our whole people.

To Send a Newspaper Clipping.

We find the following editorial para graph in reference to sending newspaper clippings in the London Times. Of course it has no application to similar postoffice regulations on this side the water, Oh. mol
 Let any one propose to send small newspa- per cutting. say an inch square, to a friend. A variety of methods of doing this are open to him. IT he chooses, he can send the whole pa per for Il halfpenny by means of a stamp or wrapper. Or he can cut out the portion Of the paper in which fl is found and send that in a wrapper. Or he can inelose the paragraph in an open envelope, and halfpenny stamp will frank 1t through the post. One method, how ever, he must not adopt under pains and pen alties, and that unfortunately is the easiest and simplest Of them all He must not by means Of a little gum affix the little cutting to the back of a postcard, for this is contrary to the regulations" and involves the payment C. an extra penny on delivery.
 Should he fail to appreciate the reasonable ness of this regulation" and ask for an ex- planation, the postmaster will reply in cour- teous terms and send him q copy ot the 'regu- lations," showing that he or his correspondent has been rightly surcharged with double post age.

It seems 10 belong to the category of vexatious and restrictive red tapeism once SD abundant in our postoffiee, and apparently so dear to the official mind.

 The governor says that since these outrageous stories began to be pub lished he has employed every means in his power to find out what foundation there was for them and he has found there is none. Not a single gin has been burned by whitecaps or any other kind of mob since the season of 1898 com menced. A few gins have been posted. possibly by some crank or harmless sneak, but not one of them has been set on fire as threatened. In conclu- sion the governor asks the editor of The Sun for the name of the cores pondent who sent out these reports.
