which involves the constitutional CUES

. law which inpairs the obligation of con-
tracts. At its last session congress passed
an act reducing the com pensation Of surf

the great lakes. The question at issue
was whether this reduction applied where
contracts with surfmen at the old rates
had already been entered into. The solic-

an emphatic denial of all of Breckin.

WILSON II LONDON.
Tariff Reform Leader interviewed

by Engi SH Journalists.
LONDON. Sept. IL representative
of the Associated Press had all inter
view today with Mr.. Wilson, the dis
tinguished congressman from West
Virginia. whose tariff measure has at
tracted so much attention in Europe. Mr..
Wilson said that his trip across the
Atlantic had greatly improved his
health. UnleSS,hS programme is changed
Mr.. Wilson will sail for home on Sept.
%.
Referring to the recent election in
the state OF Maine, the gentleman from
West Virginia said that he did not con-
slider the Republican victory as pro-
nOuncpd criticism of the tariff Iegisla-
ton OF congress. According to Mr..
Wilson, some OF the Democrats of Maine
are temporarily angered at certain tariff
reductions. especially at the reduction
OF the duty on luinoer. But, he added,
Names situation prevents that state
from being an index of the political
currents Of the United States.
President Cleveland had no thoughts of
dency. MeSSrs. Reed and Mckinley
were, in his opinion, candidates for the
Republican nomination, but he Thought
the Republican party would probably
select tariff conservative like Allison.
The United States, Mr.. Wilson also
said. would never revert to Mckinley
ism," nor to a blind, greedy. selfish
protection. The tariff will not be at
tackled, and when congress meets its
errors. which are i'll detail only, will be

When Food Fails to Give

Any Child Should bs Used.

Don't take chances with the baby.
These summer disorders. diarrhea and
cholera iDfantum. come with sudden
ness and progress from bad to worse
with rapidity that throws unprepared
mothers into helpless confusion.
Every experienced nurse knows that
it is of the utmost Importance to keep
at hand lactated food as substitute
for baby's food, even when the child is
fed at the breast. Often the heat SO
weakens the infant stomach or the nat
ural milk fails, so that partially di-

the warnings that baby is not only not
thriving, but in great danger of cholera
infantum and diarrhea that carries off
so many infants.
IL is far easier to prevent these sum-
mer disorders by using pure, highly

When babies throw up their milk or
when they are not keeping up their

Physicians. when called i'll such cases,

Being partially digested food, as ply

possible substitute for healthy moth
er's milk. Its parts are well nigh
Identical with baby's earliest and
best food. healthful breast milk.
Babies that seem to mothers to
take "hardly enough nouriShment TO
keep them alive" eat heartily when fed
on lactated food. because that great OBJ
ject of successful infant food has been
thoughtfully attained - it pleases the
infant taste and induces the child to eat
heartily.
Babies are safely and readily weaned
during the summer months on this
splendid nutritIve. And for the same
reason that lactated food is by far the
best diet for young children, so it is
peculiarly fitted to the needs OF nursing
mothers. a. well as invalidS who have
slight energy TO extract strength and
nutrition from ordinary coarse, hearty
food.
I.actated food is used in all the large
homes for children throughout the
United States and Caua!a and in fam

ing the best for their children; and yet

THE ASPHALT MIDDLE.

There are some conditions Of the
streets with asphalt that are clear.
The streets must be repaved. The
cedar blocks are gone in places, render
ing the street unsafe and dangerous.
All along the line of. both streets they
are out of repair. The work of repay
Ing cannot be delayed longer than an
other season at the farlhest. They are
daily increasing disgrace TO the city.
The property owners along both
streets are agreed as to both the neces-
sity of repaving and the use of asphalt.
The council has acted; the bids have
been received and accepted, and re-
sponsiDle company is ready to begin the
work at once and complete it this fall.
So far all is clear. The street car
company has the right of way and is
operating its cars over these streets. 1t
will have TO bear the expense of laying
the pavement between its tracks.
These cover nearly half the street.
10 this extent they are as much inter
ested as are the AUDITING property own
ers. They do not object to repaving the
streets. bat they claim that it will in-
voive large expense which they are
not prepared to incur The tracks are
paved now with granite. and the con
dition of the sides of the street does not
eoncer, them. They claim that as they
could not have ready access to their
tracks and wires if the track spaces are
paved with asphalt, they could not use
their present return system, and would
have 10 relay their tracks with a rail
made expressly for such pavements.
| This claim has been made, we believe,
| since the GLOBE assured them thai
electric cars were operated in other
| cities on asphalt streets.
1t will thus be seen that there are
! two sides to the matter. one the impera-
tive need of the public. the other the
| convenience of the street ear company
| The streets must be repaved. The car
| company dislikeS, naturally, to incur
| the cost. Is its excuse sufficient? Some
of the aldermen think it is. If we get
the opinion of the public accurately,
not only of the parties Immediately in
terestrd. but of our citizens generally,
| the opinion is that the excuse is not
| good. The company has been given a
right that is of immense value. 1t bears
portion OF the public burdens entirely
| diSpr0portiUnate to the value Of its
| franchise. 1t is in no position to Oh
struct needed improvements OH the
score OF expense. Its granite pave
ment is an eyeSore and nuisance at its
best. Its only merit is Its durability;
all its other qualities are demeritS. 1t
is rough, uncouth, unsightly and noisy.
Its present style of rail is the worst
possible. obstructive and destructive.
The rail adapted to the asphalt is the
least obstructive or dangerous to We
hicles. The public seem to us to have the
better of the argument, and the work
should not be longer delayed. Ii it is,
the public will be heard from.
