In recent article on Coffee and CO.
Goa, the eminent German Chemist,
Professor Stutzer, speaking of the
Dutch process of preparing Cocoa by
the addition of potash, and of the pro-
cess common in Germany in which
ammonia is added, says:''The on ly re-
suit of these processes is to make the
liquid appear turbid to the eye of the
consumer, without effecting real
solution of the Cocoa substances
This artificial manipulation for the
purpose of so-ca!led solubility IS, there
fore, more or less inspired by decep-
ton, and always takes place at the
cost of purity, pleasant taste, useful
action and aromatic flavor. The
treatment of Cocoa by such che micai
means is entirely Objectionable. :.
Cocoa treated with potash or am
monia would be entirely unstable but
fer the supplementary addition of ar
tificial fiavors b y which poor substi-
tute for the aroma driven out into the
air is offered to the consumer" The
delicious Breakfast Cocoa made by
WALTER BAKER e CO., of Dorchester,
Mass. is absolutely pure and soluble.
No chemicals, or dyes, or artifi
havors used in it.

reserve, there never was a necessity
for 1T, there never was any antecedent
discussion in regard to it, and there
never was particle of financial sense
in it.
0Nobody ever presented greenbacks
for redemption until Mr. Carlisle made
his famous ruling, under which gold is
paid out for paper money, and bonds
issued to get the gold back again.
The gold reserve was absolutely use
less until it became, under Carlisle's
ruling, bait to set the bond trap
with.
To show that it has no influence
upon the value of the greenbacls, we
need only to point to the fact that al
though the size of the gold reserve has
constantly f1uctuated for about year,
the value of the greenback has not
varied at all.
If the greenbacks depend on the gold
reserve, their value would rise and fall
with the gold reserve.
The greenbaclzs no not, and never
did, depend on the gold reserve. They
depend on the government, and the
known fact that the credit of the
government is based on SO, 600, 900, COO.
Their legal tender quality, their re-
ceivability for taxes and public dues,
make them good in the eyes of the
people, irrespective of any gold re-
serve whatsoever.
John Sherman had no more right to
make a gold reserve than he had to
make silver reserve

Civil or Militarv

In recent decision of Judge Hughe
OF the Norfolk (Va.) circuit the plain
announcement is made that the civil
authority is above the military. This
decision was called out through a suit
between the corporation of Norfolk
and soldier stationed there. The
Importance of it can be gathered from
the fact that Secretary of War Lamont
asked Attorney-General Olney to give
his opinion of its soundness, who said
In substance: THAT the expression
laws of the land in the fifty-nintb
article of war includes CITY ordi-
nances and laws, and therefore that
soldier may be arrested, tried.
and punished by the proper civil
authorities for the violation of a citv
ordinance, and that, if he escapes to
military reservation, his surrender
may be demanded by the proper mill
tary authorities and should be made by
the military officer in command. s
Under this construction Gov. Altgeld
could have imprisoned every United
States soldier sent into Illinois. The
matter has been kept very quiet, but
it is making stir among the military
gentry who have INDUCED in the idea
that this country has been fully Rus
sianized. 1t is well to have Judge
like Hughes. who is able and courage

is MODERN PLAGIARISM.
GOLD WORSHIP AS PRACTICED
IN AMERICA.
It Is Our God and We Pay Reverent
Homage to It's Wonderful Power
Has the God of Creation Been For
gotten Forever?

The savage African, in the wilds of
his native home, takes few sticks and
some cloth, and out of these rude ma
terials makes an idol which he calls
falls PROSTATE, in devout worship.
Whereat we civilized fools all laugh
at SAID African, and call him barba-
rian.-as, indeed he is.
Nevertheless, it is quite apparent
that while we make no gods out of
sticks and calico, we worship Mumbo
Jumbos, of our own make, just the
same.
Take for instance the 'Gold Re-
serve" Nature did not produce it: it
has no life, no motion, other than that
which we lunatics give it.
One day it occurred to old John
Sherman that it would be good
scheme to stack up, in the treasury, a
cool one hundred million dollars in
gold, and keep it there, idle.
Acting upon this idea, he straight
way created the fund known as the
gold reserve.
Any law for this?
No.
any necessity for it?
No.
Any popular demand for it?
No.
His excuse was that he wanted a
gold reserve out of which he could pay
off the $346, ZOO, 900 in greenbacks when
presented for redemption.
Was anybody clamoring for the re-
demption of greenbacks?
No.
Was there any law under which any
body had a right to go to the treasury
and demand gold for greenabcks?
No.
Was there any custom or policy
which authorized this setting apart of
gold to redeem greenbacks?
No.
But Sherman did it, just the same,
and it soon appeared that he had made
US Mumbo Jumbo which we all wor-
SHIPPED, and before whose mysterious
power we fell PROSTATE.
AS long as Sherman was secretary
of the treasury the gold reserve was
sacred. Congress looked upon it with
awe. The President did it reverence.

less alteration. The politicians rubbed
the skin off their stomachs groveling
before it. The people-the great inert
mass within whom is irresistible might
if they but had courage and co-opera
tion-patiently padded their knees,
and likewise knelt in mute submission
to the yellow god which John Sherman
had condescended to make for them.
When Sherman went out and other
secretaries came in, the spell was al
ready upon the public, and Mumbo
Jumbo reigned by the omnipotent title
of universal consent.
The gold reserve was a national in
stitution-like Washington monument.
1t was not to be desecrated. It was
to be recognized, supported, defended.
Senators in their speeches alluded to
it as they would to Plymouth Rock or
Mount Vernon. It was fixed fact
which nobody disputed and all re-
spected.
Congressman referred to it as they
would to Arlington or Bunker Hill.
1t was. in their eyes. consecrated.
Statutes referred to it, in passing, as
they would to West Point or Yellow
stone park, something that was per-
manent. national, and inseparable
from the life of the republic.
There never was law for the gold
