SECRETARY SMITH.
He Delivers a Political Speech at
. #.f Atlanta, G;t. s..s

AtAsaHlh, "aIs
Atlanta, Ga, Sept. s. = Hon. Hoke
Smith delivered an address here to-
day. In opening his remarks the secre-
tary reviewed the financial troubles Of
the past eighteen months, and con-
graduated the South as well as Georgia,
upon the excellent showing made. The
attention of the commercial world had
been attracted, and he predicted for
the section a period Of development
and marked prosperity such as never
before experienced. The cotton states
and international exposition would
prove of great assistance in this work;
but the attention of capital once Sc
cured, it's confidence must also be wOn
and it was therefore of the utmost i'm
portance to the future welfare of the
state that in the coming election the
people Of Georgia should show the
world that the wild theories Of the
lPopulists had no foothold amongst
them. Calling attention to the recent
experience Of the great States Of Kan
sas and Colorado under Populistic rule,
the secretary asked who would wish
to see Georgia follow the leadership of
/ a Lewelling or Waite. Bad as was
the record Of the third party in the
West, the crazy theories of their lead
ers in congress were enough to stagger
comprehension and shock thoughtful
men. They sought disbursements
amounting to over $25,0O0,0 900, 900. The
people Of Georgia could not afford to
endorse such a party. The state
would be disorganized locally and dis
credited before the world if it appeared
to have listened to their impracticable
theories. He especially denounced the
cry for free coinage Of silver at 16 to l.
Speaker Crisp also spoke.

FOOD ADULTERATION.
America Should Compel Branding
Of Manufactured Articles.
Washington, Sept. 1.-THE question
of adulteration OF food and drugs in
this country is discussed in detail in
the report of Special Agent Alexander
y. w cuucA DuIu, u IuC agricultural uc-
partment. After referring to the fact
that the public idea of adulteration Of
food is in many cases very much ex-
aggerated, the report says: T..
THE attention of foreigners has been
drawn to the fact that greater or less
adulteration exists among us. AS a
result, foreign competitors of our man
ufactures of food products have used
the fact to their own advantage.
America to-day occupies the unen-
viable position Of being one Of the
very few countries that fail to require
by law the proper branding Of their
manufactured food and drugs. Wheth-
err such requirements would accomplish
the desired result is unknown, but the
evil would be mitigated by wholesome
legislation. This belief is sustained
by the results Of the food laws of
England and other foreign countries,
us we'll as of the various states. The
concurrent testimony of state officials
charged with the enforcement of state
and local laws is that national law
is necessary to secure proper enforce
4 ment Of state laws"

An Appeal Issued.

the people of Minnesota, in which it
tells Of the work of relief thus far car
ried on. The address concludes as fol-
lows:
"The fire sufferers may be classed as
follows:
"First- Single men who need only an
outfit Of clothing and perhaps a little
money to enable them to look for work.
Second - Small farmers, most Of
whom have bought forty to 12O acres
Of land on contract, on which they have
paid small amount. Most Of these
people want to 60 back on the land.
There are probably $50 Of these farm
erS
'Third--Vilagers Of Hinckley and
Sandstone Some Of these people want
to return at orce; others may have to
seek new homes if the industries at
those places are rot resumed.
"Fourth-Widows with small chill
dren who ought to locate in the smaller
towns of the state.
The sufferers by this fire are an ex-
cellent class Of people, and they repre-
sent fairly the people of the state.
Their requests are moderate, but the
commission finds that a very large
amount of money, building material
and supplies will be needed to provide
seed and food for the stock
while contributions of material are
acceptable, the commission would re-
mind til pc ople Of the state that money
is the most portable and useful con-
tributior possible. A large proportion
of the people are farmers They must
be fitted out with houses, farming i'm
plements and supplies until they can
raise crop, and this will require a
large amount of money. We appeal
therefore, to all towns and municipali-
ties to give to the extent of their abili-
ty. The con mission wishes to ac-
knowledge the magnificent liberality of
the contributions already reported, and
it will endeavOr to use every dollar en-
trusted to it to the best possible pur-
pose.
''Casf: contributions should be sent
direct to Kenneth Clark, treasurer, ST.
Paul. Those having supplies will mott
fy him. and he will send instructions
as to shipment. The commission has
designated it's secretary, III. III. Hart, tc
represents it in general execution OF
the work. Communications not relat
ing to contributions should be ad
dressed to H. II. Hart, Pine City. The
commission will have representatives
at Hinchley, Pine City and Duluth.

PINE CITY PANIC
RESIDENTS AFRAID OF ANOTHED
FIERY VISITATION.
The Near Approach of Forest Fires
Causes the Greatest AlnrM--NIeno-
rial Services Held-An Address to
the People of the State.

Pine City, MINI, Sept. 10. Yesterday
was an eventful one in Pine City. All
day long murky haze hung over the
village like a pail, which up to noon
filed the people with anxious, nervous
unrest. About noon a strong west gale
set in, driving before it smoke, dust
and cinders from the burning forests,
entirely shutting out the sunlight, leav-
ing only cold, threatening glare on
the portentious clouds. The people
here strongly anticipated another
Hinckley horror, and Notwithstanding
the fact that cool heads and calcu-
lating minds tried to reassure, the anz-
iety and excitement rose to fever heat.
| The special train from st. Paul, hay
ing the officials Of the st. Paul & Du-
luth, ran past the town as far as
Browns Hills on its way to Hinclley,
! and came back and sidetracked here
for the purpose of rendering all the as
sistance in their power should neces-
sity require. Supt. Plough ordered a
+! long freight train coupled up and to
| stand in readiness to take an active
| part In relief should the fire break
! out. However. about o'clock the
wind abated somewhat and the trains
| which had hitherto been held at diff
| ferent points along the line to await
coming events, were ordered to move
and with. clearing skies and the reassur
ing resumption Of business the people
were Gained. There is no mistake but
the changed meteorological conditions
are such as to render the whole atmos
phere veritable finder box, ready tt
explode with spark. The woes al
ready upon us are enough to pail thu
stoutest heart, and the anxious antici
| patton Of further affliction keeps ner
vous excitement at an intense pitch

PUTTING ON 4 BOLD FRONT.

The Policy Of the Bancroft Managers is to
Claim Everything in Sight and Take
what They Can Get.
The Bancroft managers, heelers and
bow lers are putting on bold front.
They have to do il TO conceal their own
weakness This political bravsdo may
be convincing to some persons who are
unacquainted with existing conditions
but to those who know the sentiment in
many wards in this city and in nearly
every out lying hundred, the Bancroft
movement is a big bluff The head
centre of the movement Is credited with
having said to an anti Bancroft man
who demonstrated with him. Kick and
be id We are going to nominate
him and you'll have to vote for him next
/ fail whether you like him or not
This Is the spirit which underlies the
whole movement. IL was this spirit
| which set up two or three ward meetings
| in this city and secured Bancroft !dele
gates who, in no particular, represented
the wishes Of the Democratic voters Of
the wards. But the bluff has not been

THE LABOR DAY PUZZLE.

A Conflict Between the National and
state Laws which Ia worrying Some
People.
A question which Is puzzling a number
OF people Just now, especially the bank
men, and those who do business with
them, is as to which is the legal holiday,
known as Labor Day, Saturday, Sep
tember / or Monday. Sep.
tember On February IA, 1898
an act known as chapter 695
was passed by the State Legislature OF
Delaware setting apart the first Mondsy
IN September as Labor Day and making
1t legal holiday. At this years session
OF the National Legislature, an act WAS
passed making September /. q national
holiday to be known as Labor Day. This
causes conflict at once between the
national and state government,
Business men who have paper falling
due on those days are placed In an awk-
ward position. especially If the banks
see fit to close on both days as they
certainly have a right to. The banks
| themselves are uudecidedsand have con-
suited the authorities as to what their
course should be.
Ia the post office and other depart
ments of the United States Government,
/ Saturday will be observed as they are
| directly amenable to the national law.
Postmaster Carr, Of Philadelphia, in
T. which state the same condition Of affairs
exists, has so far determined TO observe
both Saturday and Monday, much to the
satisfaction of the employees. Postmaster
Moore has not given the thought much
consideration and has not decided on the
advisabilIty Of double holiday as yet
A majority Of the states which observe
Labor Day, have framed laws making II
fall on the first Monday and the same
iangle will exist there. The change IA
not looked upon as a wise one, for the
reason that it will at times fall on Sun
day, and cannot be observed in th'
manner which the workingman, foi
whom it was designed, intended Il
should. The action of the natlona
government will necessitate the amend
i Ing Of the state laws to conform.
