thorough investigation, and will soon
print important facts showing the abuse
OF the present loosely drawn section re-
lating to personal effects.
According to Robert P. Porter the rec.
ords OF the New York Custom-h house show
that the officers do not pay much atten-
ton TO people who bring in less than
twelve pieces of baggage each. Out of
1925 declarations examined it was found
40 had twelve pieces of baggage each, 81
had seventeen each, 81 had twenty-five
each, % had twenty-seven each, 10 had
thirty-two each, 4 had thirty seven each,
forty eight pieces, and sixty-four pieces.
The Bradley Martins, when they came
nome with the trosseau of their daughter,
who was 10 be married to the Earl of Cra-
ven, had 138 pieces of baggage, all con-
tanning wearing apparel and personal eff
fects not dutiable under the present law.
People who thus purchase their cloth
ing abroad can best afford 10 pay the duty.
By making their purchases abroad and
bringing them into this country like The
smuggler, free of duty, they not only de-
prive the Government of revenue, but
deprive home manufacturers and mer-
chants of profits and home labor of en-
ployment. The tariff bill should GER
tainly include restrictions on these whole
sale importations of foreign goods by rich
families.

A BOOM FOR PURE FOOD.

The proposition TO make the pure-food
exhibit one OF the prominent features of
the Mechanics Institute will be generally
approved. Too much cannot be said in
favor of the pure-food agitation, and it is
to be hoped that the institute will adopt
the sugges ZION that samples of the brands
of food exhibited shall be selected from
the various stores where they are sold
and examined by chemist in the employ
of the institute in order to insure the ex
hibition of only bona-fide pure food prod
ucts.
1t is gratifying to observe the general
interest taken in this matter by the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Association.

the idea somebody has advanced that at

tions.
The fight for pure food is a contention
not only for honest goods, honestly Ia
beled; it is grand effort for the protec-
tion of the public health, which is men
aced by the deleterious compounds often
attempted to be sold under fraudulent
labels. Praise and support will be ac-
corded by the people to those influential
men who are working to the end that
adulterated food products may be driven
out OF the market.

THE SUGAR BEET IN CALIoFNIA.

Correspondence of the New York sun.
The reason sugar is going all over Califor-
MIA is because beets do not freeze in the winter
there, and they can use less machinery and
feed out all the beets TO stock after the sugar
is extracted. In Nebraska the beets have to be
harvested and treated, before the frosts come
Ten thousand dollars worth of machinery in
California will manufa cturc as much sugar as
$4,000 worth will in Nebraska. Still Nebras-
"a is doubling her acreage OF beets and chic
ory. There is one cbicoTy farm at O'NeiI, Neb
covering $500 acres. The old Mckinley bill
put cents a pound duty on manufactured
ehicory and let raw chicory come in free. This
policy brought twentY-seven chicory factories
from France and Belgium 10 America The
Wilson bill took off that tariff and the twenty
seven Mckinley chicory factories closed down
and our money went to Europe for chicory
sgain The new Diugley bill puts IS cents on
manufactured chicory, cent on raw This
tariff will bring back the factories again, and
chicory viii take the place of much wneat land
in this country.

THE DBBs COMMONWEALTH.

The lesson of the miserable fate of the
Topolohampo colony seems 10 have been
wholly lost on Eugene Y. Debs and his
lieutenants, who are now busily advertis-
ing the scheme of a Utopian common
wealth, wherein none of the ills of in
dustrial com petition shall exist and where
the true brotherhood of man shall be
ushered in to bless and beautify the
world.
This sounds about as we'll as the pre-
dictions for that colony of heaven.on-
earth which ended in woe and disaster
only a few short weeks ago. Rich and
poor joined the army of enthusiasts in
tent on building up terrestrial paradise
on Mexican soil, far away from the mad
ding crowds of big cities; far away from
clashing interests in the trades and occu-
pations of men; removed from all the tur-
moil and worry of industrial strife; out
of hearing OF the siren voice of am bition,
and out of sight of the struggles and
achievements OF private enterprise. Thev
succeeded in getting away from all these
things for a brief period. Then they
wanted TO get back among those very con-
ditions to which they had bidden adieu.
Topolo bar DO was com posed of all sorts
OF people, and they soon ranged them
selves into "sets." Ambitions grew among
them and increased the discomfort and
dissatisfaction. Crops failed, the treasury
became bankrupt, famine ensued, and
while some pershed others reached their
old homes in the East through the aid of
friends and were thankful to get back into
the everyday world. The perfect social
democracy" was proved utterly impracti-
cable.
Mr.. Debs does not propose. however. 10
get very far out of reach of what he terms
oar abnormal civilization" lie declares
his inten tion OF establishing an Eden in
one of the Western States. Mr.. Debs has
some rank as an agitator, but his own out
line of his plans for "The Social Demo-
cracy of America" will not commend him
to thinking people as a man of much
wisdom and forethought. a cooperative
colony, to succeed, N ust conform TO sound
business principles. If it follows fads and
fancies it will wind up like the farmer
who had so many "isms" to occupy his
time and attention that his crops went to
ruin and his farm to the mortgage.

BRYAN AND JEFFERSON.

The literary societies of the University
of Virginia have recently received lesson
IN politics of sufficient force and direct
ness to be of interest to the whole coun-
try. short time ago Charles B. Rouss
presented the university with handsome
laboratory building and its equipment OF
scientific apparatus. For the dedication
of the building, the literary societies
invited Mr.. Bryan to be the orator of the
occasion, requesting him at the same time
to speak of Thomas Jefferson, the founder
of the university. Mr.. Rouss, of course,
was also expected TO be present, but when
he heard of the invitation to BRYAN he
wrote to the university a letter, from
which these words are being extensively
quoted:
While it would give me great pleasure to
enter into the enjoyment of the proceedings,
1 would not be able TO listen with any salts
faction to an address delivered by Mr.. Bryan
upon Thomss Jefferson. He and his Cocoon
spirators succeeded at Chicago in stealing the
time-horored Democratic party organization,
and now they want to steal its great founder
No. He and his conglomerate political
fusion will not be permitted by my presence
and silent aequiescence, humble citizen
though l be, TO become the champion of
Thomas Jefferson. Let US at least prevent
this monstrous usurpation and robbery.
Thomas Jefferson is about all that true and
loyal Democrats have left of the great party.
Let US at least hold on % MIN until we can
right ourselves. To permit a heterogeneous
combination of anarchists and party wreckers
to Thomas Jefferson as a shield for the eir
disloyalty to the public veal would be unpa-
triotic and criminal in the highest degree.
The letter is Justly regarded as an ex-
preston OF the sentiment of the great
body of conservative Democrats. The
Southern people accepted Mr.. Bryan last
year because his nomination was sprung
upon them UNEXPECTEDLY, but many of
them did so under protest. and rot few
of them refused to vote for him. There
are thousands of men In the Southern
States who, like Mr.. Rouss, consider the
followers of Bryan to be "a heterogeneous
com bination of anarchists and party
wreckers." Like him they resent thu at.
tempt OF Bryan to pose as a representa-
tive of the principles and policies OF JEFF
ferson, and like him they will refuse to
give even silent acquiescencs to what
they regard as "monstrous usurpation
and robbery"
The new South is changing from the
old in many respects, but it is not chang
ing toward Organism. The votes for pro-
lection given by many Southern men in
both houses OF Congress show that the
tendency there as in other parts of the
country is toward industrial security and
prosperity instead of toward new agita-
tions and class antagonisms. Mr. Rouss'
letter will open the eyes of the young men
OF the University OF Virginia and make
clear to them the wide difference between
the principles of Jefferson and the vsgar-
les of Bryan.
