FILTHY BAKE SHOPS.
Report of Gotham Labor Bureau Re

New York. Nov. pa good portion Of
the report Of the bureau of labor stats

is devoted to the condition of bakers in
this city Among other things the re-
port says.
The sanitary conditions of the shops
furnishes an Interesting chapter of VAL
liable information for the people who are
consumers of the food produced in these
greWsOme bake shops. Of the 1 .O59 visit
ed only five could be designated as pos
1tively clean. while 176 were noted by the
sanitary bake shop experts as healthy
Twenty-three were classed as bad. while
SIX We're designated as in an exceedingly
bad condition Twenty-three were class
ed as dirty seventeen very dirty. while
90 We're recorded as unhealthy. 1t is an
unpleasant commentary to make that 692
bake shops out of 1859 invest igated in the
city of New York should be designated as
wholly as unfit to be used for food pro-
ducing purposes by the best possible ex-
perts- 1T is only a fair and reasonable
presumption that the productions from
these places should also be unhealthy
There is only one bake shop inspector
for New York city. and no matter how
he works he could not possibly inspect
each bake shop every two years

DIR. ABBOTT GONE CRAZY.
Repudiates Sentiments in the De-
claration of Independence.


New York, Nov. 25.-The Rev DR.. Ly-
man Abbott, pastor of Plymouth church
Brooklyn, last night closed one Of his
critical lectures upon the Hebrew
scriptures by a population of the the
DRY of the Declaration of Independence
that government rests upon the consent
of the governed
The action of the north in the civil
war and of the soldiers at the Chicago
riots We're, he said, the answer Of the
American people to that proposition
Tt is years since Plymouth was crowded
as 1T was last night DR. Abbott has been
attacked, first by Brooklyn preachers,
and then by Dwight L. Moody, the
evangelist, for the freedom of his talk
on the Bible. He began his sermon with
what might be construed as defense.
THE Bible needs neither defense nor
eulOgy," said he. Your presence here
tonight in such numbers is evidence of
the hold the Bible has on all thoughtful
men and women. 1 desire to explain
simply certain aspects of the book, and
1 leave it to be its own defender"
Moses and his works were the proper
subject of the evening. The question of
authority of the government. said Dr.
Abbott, had always perplexed thinkers.
One theory was that law should be en-
forced by the superior of the inferior.
with the penalty for violation, that IN
derlie all despOtic forms Of government.
The second theory was that government
rested on the consent of the governed.
Our fathers had adopted that theory
and placed it in the Declaration of In
dependence.
when Horace Greeley said. let the
erring sister go, we answered that the
DRY. When We, with muskets faced the
rioters at Chicago, who demanded that
We govern them only with their consent
that was Americas answer to a decla-
ration that government rests on the
consent Of the governed. 1t still stands
in the Declaration of Independence, but
we no longer believe in it, nor in the
philosophy on which it is founded"

For CUBAN lNDEPENDENCE.--O On
the 18th, the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations, by practically
unanimous vote, ordered n favorable
the Cameron resolution, recognizing
the independence of the republic of
Cuba. A verbal change was made
in the text Of the resolution, so that,
as f@ally agreed to, it reads as fol-
lows:
" RcsOIrCd, etc., That the indie
peudcncC of the republic of Cuba be,
and the same is hereby, acknowl-
edged by the United States of
America.
Second. That the United States
will use its friendly Offices with the
government of Spain to bring To a
close the war between Spain and
Cuba"
Secretary OlnCy was before the
committee and explained the situa-
ton in Cuba as he had gathered it
from Gen. Lee and from other Off
cial sources. He was opposed to the
resolution, but his opposition doesn't
seem to have had much effect. 1t is
believed that these resolutions will
pass the Senate after the holidays,
but that they will pass the House
seems to be matter of much doubt
lust now.
