Pure Food Laws.

1t is unfortunate indeed that along
with the antioption bill in congress the
pure food bill was defeated as well. The
authorizations that are employed in tea,
coffee, sugar, spices, condiments and pre-
served fruits and jellies are enough to
make one resolve to starve before touch
ing any of the articles named. The adul
teration extends to the bakers bread the
poor man eats, and in many states to the
butter he spreads upon it.
A persistent effort is now being made
by grocers of the best class against this
wholesale poisoning. They have mighty
manufacturing interests arrayed against
them, and these doubtless helped defeat
the pure food bill. But it will come up
again, and it will keep bobbing up till
its iniquitous and diabolical opponents
have gone to the reward they earned by
making white clay candies, yellow ocher
mustard, brick dust red pepper and chic
ory coffee.

The informal discussion which took
place yesterday at the city hall indi-
Gates disposition on the part of some
of the members of the council to hold
the street railway company to strict
compliance with the terms OF its char
ter in the matter of building two miles
of extension Of its lines during the
present year. In determining the wis
dom of such course 1t would be well
to go back little and look at the in
itiation Of this enterprise and what the
company has already accomplished, as
well as to examine the present condi-
ton of affairs. When the company
was organized and charter applied
for the boom was on, and the charter
was framed in such manner as to meet
what seemed to be boom requirements;
and moreover, it was confidently ex-
pected that the development and ex-
tension Of the city would continue with
the same rapidity as had already been
experienced. If these authorizations
had proven to be correct, the residence
portion of the city would now cover an
area which would make the two mile
extension desirable and useful. All
agree that in this respect there has
been great disappointment, and the
occupied territory is not now greater
than it was when the charter was
granted. The charter was in some re.
spects hard one, and imposed onerous
burdens upon the company. Notwith.
standing this, the company constructed
and has operated a first-class line OF
road, and 1t is very difficult to see
where two additional miles could bt
placed so as to add materially TO tn,
accommodation of the people. Tn,
line is not paying, and the company Il
carrying heavy burden; construction
is expensive and operation a loss
Under these circumstances it certainly
would not be unfair to grant the com
pany such an extension as would en-.

needed for the peoples accommoda-
ton, when doubtless the company will

find it to its advantage to make the
extensions required.

Seattle stands in great need Ofedi-
tors who know some little the mean
ing of gentlemanly courtesy. In Its
! Thursdays issue the Press-Iimes
makes a personal attack on the editor
of the Telegraph, which, even were the
statements true, are uttered with such
indecent coarseness and vulgar disre-
gard of the refinement and culture Of
those who might happen to read the
unmanly attack, as to at once rank the
editor Of the Press-Times in the cate
CORY of tenth-rate journalism, if not to
entirely outcast him from any standing
whatever as a journalist. Following is
| the Press-Times article, under the
heading.of "The Tramp Confesses :"
Ever since Mr.. V. A. Ryan retired from
the management Of the Telegraph, the
tramp from Labrador, who jobbed Ryan
out Of his place by offering to do his work
for less money, has thought it advisable

proprietor. its editor and its business in

an ignorant, malicious, envious black
guard; without conscience, without prin-
ciple. without character. Having ex-
posed this tramp from Labrador for what
he is, an unnaturalized alien, a pauper
immigrant, an emissary Of sedition, an
enemy Of the state, fomenter Of strife, a
viliiier Of character, forger OF news, a
circulator of libels, a non -taxpaying par
asite, he throws up his hands at last,
confesses guilt, and begs for mercy, say
ing he won't abuse the Press-Times any
more. II is a good thing to have abated
nuisance, to have reduced tramp to
OF der.
Some few days ago the Telegraph
gave an editorial criticism of Mr..
Bailey, the proprietor of the Press
Times, which doubtless called forth the
extraordinary language quoted above,
but the criticism of the Telegraph,
though strong, was certainly couched
in such manner as to set forth the
tramp from Labrador" in much
more enviable light than the supposed
American tramp who wrote the Press
Times reply. 1t doubtless goes without
saying that Mr.. Bailey himself could
not stoop to such an attack, but Ger.
tainly his estimate of the dignity of
journalism must be very meagre if it
allows him to continue such an I'M
mannerly demagogue in control of his
editorial columns, who while formu-
lating an estimate of his own character
has the cowardice to use the name of
another where his own ought to be
written.

If an appropriation can be had rom
congress next winter, an electro .'oet
car line will be constructed all the way
from Washington to Baltimore. A pri-
vate company will build the line from
Washington as far as the single tax town
Of Hyattsville this summer Then it is
hoped that congress will appropriate
money to finish TIE electric road through
to Baltimore, as well as to construct an
asphalt drive alongside of it. This is a
magnificent scheme. Baltimore is 39
miles from Washington, and an electric
car ride between the two cities would be
delightful. Likewise along that magnif-
icent asphalt boulevard lot owners would
reap fortunes on the unearned increment
plan. There are intelligent gentlemen
already fully alive to this fact. These
intelligent gentlemen should at least help
to build the boulevard and the electric

Cost of Silver Mining.

Mr.. James d. Hague gives in The
Forum a comprehensive account of the
cost Of silver mining and the profits de
rived from it. The story is not one to
make the reader conclude that silver
mining pays much better than even a
government clerkship The richest mine
known in modern times is the great Com
stock lode. discovered 80 years ago. Since
then it has produced between $500, 900, 0OO
and 800, 000, 900 in gold and silver. This
mine it was more than anything else
which caused the lowering of the price
of silver and the present depression Of
that metal in the money market Dur
ing its most prosperous period the Com
stock paid a profit of go per cent. But
that was when silver brought $1.2O an
ounce. The price thence on fell off rapid
ly, and for 1892 averaged no more than
81 cents
The second richest silver mine is the
Crown Point and Belcher. When silver
sold at S1.29 an ounce the Crown Point
and Belcher yielded profit of 10 per
cent With silver at SO cents it would
pay no profit at all. Mr.. Hague gives
many other facts and figures, summing
up as follows:
II the cost OF producing silver has any bear
ing upon the questions at issue. touching its
value and its relation TO gold, these facts and
figures are worth consideration, because they
should tend to correct an apparently prevalent
impression that the average cost of silver is far
below even its present market price. These
statements go TO show that only the most for
tunate producers. the finders Of the great
prizes, can produce silver at any large profit,
while the average producer, especially at the
present time, must content himself with very
small profit and be glad II he does not make a
loss
Many Of the silver mines are closed as un-
profitable under existing conditions, and II is
my belief that the majority OF people whose
money is now invested in silver mining enter
prises can buy silver in the market cheaper
than they can produce II. | think IL doubtful
II all the silver ever produced In the United
States. reckoned at the old standard Of 1.29
would. after deducting from its value the cost
Of its production, return the capital invested in
the operation. The great profits Of silver min
ing go TO Che fortunate few; the average miner
of the precious metals Is not overprosperous
Good mines are like the saints-''for many are
called, but few are chosen"

THE SUMS ECLIPSE

The entire astronomical world Is awe
with enthusiasm over the total eclipse
of the sun which occurs today anu
which for various reasons, is expected 10
prove the most important event III
astronomy which has occurred during
the present century. The eclipse VIII
be invisible in North America, but Wis
ible as a partial eclipse in nearly the
whole of south America, Africa ana
portions Of Europe and Asia. The path
of totality, says the Scientific Ameri-
can, commences in the Pacific Ocean,
traverses the central part of South
America, crosses the Atlantic ocean and
ends in the center of Africa. Observers
on the line of totality will behold the
most magnificent phenomenon ever
visible from this planet, when for few
moments the suns face is hidden from
view.
The conditions required for total
eclipse are that the moon shall be at
her nodes or crossing points when at
new moon. She must be near perigee,
when her diameter is greatest, and the
sun near apogee, when his diameter is
least. These conditions are fulfilled in
the present eclipse. The moon is near
her node, and near perigee, and the
sun is approaching apogee. The
moons diameter is 33r 80. The suns
diameter is 81 55i'.4. The moons di-
ameter exceeds the suns l. MS. The
result Is that the eclipse will occur
under very favorable circumstances,
the totality lasting at some points of
observation A 42", making the eclipse
one Of the finest of the nineteenth CEN
fury for its comparative accessibility
and the length Of its continuance.
The eclipse will call out more observ-
ers than were ever assembled before.
American and European astronomers
have made extensive preparations for
the great event at the stations they
have chosen. Some are located at Ceara,
on the northeast coast of Brazil, while
others are in the rigion of the Senegal
in West Africa. The path of totality
has been carefully mapped for observ-
ers TO choose the localities best adapted
to their special work. The astronomi-
cal world is greatly exercised with the
hope of making discoveries within the
solar precincts.
Much is expected from the condition
of the sun, now at the maximum of sun
spots. The suns circumference will be
afiame with rosy protuberances. and
the silvery corona show signs, by It's
greater extent and more radiant glow
of the disturbances that agitate the sun
and are reflected on the earth in mag
netic storms and vivid displays of au-
roral light. If only the weather be
propitious and the wearisome travel
and great expenditure be not in vain.
