Detroit Journal We see no reason,
that does rot apply to any other coun-
try, why we should amend our tarih
to discriminate favorably to Canada and
Canadian products 1t is doubtless true
that Canada would like free entry for
her products to this country So would
any other country on earth. But II
Canada were permitted to send her prod
ucts in here, duty free, she would by so
much as she sent in curtail the market
for home products. This government
is not maintained to provide a market
for Canada or any other dependency OF
foreign government
British Medical Journal Oondon):
The question has been raised whether
there is any reason for supposing that
the practice of gum chewing, so preVa-
lent in the United States is on the In
crease in this country. We have made
some inquiries and have ascertained
that many young women, students, ac-
Lresses and others appear to have ac-
uuired this disgusting habit, and are
inyeterate cheWers. We have examined
specimens of chewing gum obtained
from various fashionable sweet shops
In London and find that, as a rule, 1t
consists Of rubber favored with aniseed
or peppermint, or some other aromatic
substance.
Baltimore News Mr. Cleveland has
a son, and doubtless feels happier and
prouder than If he had been elected to
the Presidency for a third time. This
Is evidently a Cleveland year, and con-
seuuently an anti-Gorman year. Good
fortune Is still on the side Of the great
Democratic champion Of tariff reform,
ballot reform and civil service reform.
His followers in the United States and
elsewhere may see an augury Of VIC
tory In the addition which has just been
made to the ranks OF the Cleveland
Democrats. May he grow up to become,
| like his sturdy father, the opponent or
cunning compromises and compromisers
and the determined defender OF the true
Democratic faith
Lewiston Journal Eugene Debs is
now telling New England how to abol-
ish personal capital and poverty. He has
started a Social Democracy in which
everybody is to be equal to everybody
else, and he proposes to abolish pow
erty and millionaires. The wage sys-
tenn he wants to get rid or. Something
was done under the Cleveland admins
tration to abolish wages, but social dis
content was more rife as wages dis
appeared. But Mr.. Debs would substi-
tute for wages a painstaking paternal-
ism in which everybody shall look out
for everybody else. The object Of Debs
is not to anarchlze society by Chicago
mobs-he has found better Way-the
way of free discussion.
New York Tribune: Stanley has
gone to Africa to attend the celebration
OF the opening of branch line Of rail-
road to Buluway0. II he lives as long as
such a stout-hearted explorer ought to,
ne may be able to survey the field Of
most Of his early explorations from the
window of a Pullman car with buffet
and dining-room attachment Even now
some of them are open to that easy and
luxurious mode of access, in such
marked contrast with the peril and
hardship of his pioneer journeyings. His
will be marked figure among those
who assemble to participate in the COM
ing celebration set down for November
8, henceforward to be red letter day
in the Buluwayo calendar.
Twentieth Century: 1t is far from
likely that President Mckinley will feel
any embarrassment in consequence Of
the practical failure Of his famous BIZ
