STANDARDS FOR MILK.

Now that pure'milk bill is pending in the
Senate recent opinion OF Judge Thayer on
standards for milk is worth considering. he
says:
at is an incorrect use OF words to speak Of
legally pure milk. for 1t is not the object Of
legal standard to fix standard OF purity,
but rather to prevent fragrant adulterations
While few abnormal milks are found close
to the minimum standards, yet the vast ma
jority of pure miks are far above the legal
standards in percentage constituents owing
largely TO their richness in fat or cream.
Nevertheless a trifling amount of adulteration
by added water would lower the percentage
OF solids other than fat not only below any
legal standard but also below that found in
the milk from herd OF COWS Of any breed,
however inferior, or in any condition, how
ever unsatisfactory. Experience proves that
a legal standard for milk does not protect the
consumer by preventing the sale OF aduiter-
ated aud impure milk.
"A milk standard cannot be considered too
high If the dairyman can readily and uni
formlY furnish milk OF the required quality.
In Massachusetts the standard Is l3 per cent.
and 3.79 per cent; in Minnesota, 13 per cent.
and 3. so per cent; In New Hampshire, 13 per
cent; in Iowa, LIS per cent. and $50 per
cent OF total solids and fat respectively; and
| the dairymen in these States have no trouble
in meeting the requirements OF the law. Fur
thermore, as the quality has improved, the
quantity consumed has increased. 1t is a
significant fact that these standards could
not have been made by the legislature with
out the consent and approval OF the dairymen
themselves. Suspicion OF adulteration by
skimming or watering, or both. is excited
/ when the milk is close to the legal standard
(this is a eorollary of the proposition upon
! which minimum standards are based. and
also when there is a lack of symmetry in the
relative proportions of toal solids fat. and
solids not fat. In the latter case suspicion is
not always susceptible of proof by physical
/ inspection or chemical analysis.
"A grave danger may be alluded TO in this
connection, in the use of separator milk.
! The dairymen send their milk TO Il creamery
where the milk from all the dairies in the
| district is mixed. the cream taken out by q
centerfUge, and some of the separator mill
may be sent back to the farms and some SEM
to the city. If the milk from any of these
dairies should contain the specific baciili o
typhoid fever or diphtheria the result would
be the widest dissemination of disease through
the infected milk"

When the announcement OF the death of
Miss Mary Stevenson. daughter of the Vice
President, reached Washington a week ago
an informal meeting of the Cabinet was at
once held TO decide whether or not there
should be any delay in the regular order of

that as Miss Stevenson's death did not occur
in this city, ard that further the interment
was to be elsewhere. the customary halt in
social doings would not be necessary.

ARBITRATION HELPLESS

For years the correspondents of
American papers in Europe made
themselves ridiculous by predicting
war. One Of the things which led
them into their predictions, of course.

BIG FOOL TALK.

As such the South has adhered, in
party sense, TO its Democratic tradi-
tions. the North TO the principles of the
Republican party. AS for anything
else outside of the slavery question, a
question which has been for a quarter
Of century relegated, there is little
difference between the North and
South over the sentiment of states
rights" So when the London papers
give expression to the idea that the
sectional feeling of this country is yet
so strong that in the event of war the
South would sympathize with England,
they talk not only ignorantly, but fool
iShly. There would be nothing but
the utmost unity between the South
and North. Even party would largely
be lost sight of. Those who know the
temper of Southern people need not be
told that there would be as many pen
sionerS Of such war from the ranks
of the ex-Confederates as from the
ex-soldiers Of the Union ranks. Mason
and DiXon's line is lost, save in party
politics. That this is true the late re-
unions between the men who fought on
both sides are not only cited, but the
first unanimous act of congress on the
reception of Cleveland's message was
one relieving ex-Confederate OF the
disability OF becoming federal sol
dierS. The South Is and will be for
fayoring a low tariff while the North
Is more emphatic for protection. This
is but political or party antagonism,
growing out of material conditions.
The bloody shirt" so effectively waved
in the campaigns of the past was 4
party, not a national emblem. The
first blast of the trumpet of war would
be the signal for an uprising in the
South only equalled by that Of the
North. There would be no trace of
doubt or diStruSt anywhere. The gov
eminent would lean Just as confidently
and with just as much absolute trust
on the South as on the North. The
Southern brigadier would be shoulder
to shoulder with the Lodges and Chan
dlers in any fight which threatened the
Union. America is the home of the
representatives and people of both of
these sections, and few nations. ont

THE CANADIAN PARASITE.

The Leavenworth Times observes
that the fact that the Canadian author
tiles were as swift in resolving to fort
ify their borders and lake ports would
seem to indicate that England is de-
termined not to recede from her de-
clination TO arbitrate the boundaries OF
her South American possessions, the
editor concluding with the declaration
that Canada cannot be protected if
hOstilities commence"
The Times is right Our Canuck
neighbors have always inclined TO the
bumptious. In worshiping her lordly
boss. who names her governors, Can
ada has never failed of Growing over
every supposed little difficulty growing
out of elf-government, and has aSsid-
uously sought on many occasions to
embarraSS this government over in
ternational affairs and interests. All
our fishing and sealing troubles have
been directly traceable to the envious
and meddling spirit Of this sprig of
monarchy, which as a civilization is
scarce more than a border line, but
which stretches from ocean TO ocean.
However in the event of war with her
ruler the existence of this monarchial
parasite on our northern border will be
q fortunate fact. The fighting in
stead Of being wholly at sea would be
largely ON land and on that same
Canadian territory. The United States
would Immediately destroy the Wei
land canal and then move upon British
territory. England in protecting her
subjects would be compelled TO send
her soldiery by way of the st. Law

be met, practically, in our own waters,
and within reach Of our own coaling
stations. The lakes intervening would
be bearing five United States vessels
for every one carrying the British flag.
Whatever else might happen the boun-
diaries of the United States would be
carried north to the Pole in which
event there would be at least one con-
tinent free of any and from all British
dictation.
