ADULTERATED JELLIEs.

The. announcement that the Board
of Health has discovered that a large
proportion of the jellies sold in our
stores are adulterated will be no sur
prise to intelligent people. 1t has
long been known that such was the
case, and the only new information con-
tanned in the report OF the board is the
statement that considerable number of
these adultera.ions have been found to be
dangerous as food.
II is one of the strange developments of
modern commerce that in land like
California, where fruN is so abundant
such adulterations can be proftably sold.
We let thousands of tons of fruit 60 to
waste every year in our orchards or our
marketplaces and yet import from abroad
pretended fruit products which are not
only adulterated, but are absolutely in
furious to the health of the people.
According to the analysis of the chem
ist OF the Board of Health the purchaser
OF currant jelly may get harmless mix
ture Of apple and currant jelly, or harm
full mixture of apple jelly and starch COL
ored with aniline dye, or dangerous
mixture IN which coal-tar colors and

pies of jelly purchased in various parts Of
the City, ten were found 10 be SO adul-
terated as to be dangerous as food, and a
number of others were sufficiently doc.
tored to render their sale as currant jelly
fraud upon the public.
Sooner or later the people OF the United
States will have to ADOPT radical and dras-
tic measures in dealing with the adultera-
ton of foods. Modern science has now
advanced so far in the mastery of chem
ical compounds that swindlers who make
use of SCIENCE can be effectually COM
bated only by persons who have an equally
scientific knowledge Of food products. 1t

THE ARBITRATION TREATY.

As was expected the Committee on For
eign Relations has decided 10 make several
i'm portant amendments to the proposed
arbitration treaty with Great Britain be-
fore reporting it TO the Senate. These
amend ments are of q charact ter which will
render the treaty much more in accord
ance with public opinion and will go far
toward making it acceptable to the people.
According to reports from Washington
the committee has decided to strike out
all the Objectionable features in the Olney
agreement. The designation of King
Oscar of Sweden and Norway as umpire
has been removed and so also has been
ali reference to the Supreme Court of the
United States as members of the arbitra-
ton tribunal. In place of memb bers of the
court the amended treaty will provide
tn at our representatives among the arbi-
traitors shall consist of 'iurists of repute,"
to be appointed by the President
The most notable amendment is one
which reserves to the Senate equally with
the President the power of deciding what
questions shall be submitted to arbitra-
ton. This change materially affects the
whole nature of the treaty and puts it in
accord with our form of government.
Under the Olney plan the President
would have had absolute control of all our
relations with Great Britain and could
have submitted any question whatever to
arbitration without the consent or even
the knowledge of the Senate. That clause
would have virtually set aside the consti-
tuition, which provides that the Senate as
well as the President shall have control Of
our foreign relations. The amendment
therefore is one which is certain to be
adopted and which in itself viii! go far
toward relieving the treaty as frat pro-
posed of its most Objectionable features.
1t is probable the first important work
to be undertakes by the Senate will be
the consideration of this treaty, and as it
is favored by the administration, its adop-
ton may be expected. 1t will be. how
ever, an altogether different treaty from
that proposed by Mr.. Cleveland, and may be
clearly accounted among the accomplish
ments of the Mckinley administration.
The Cleveland treaty would undoubtedly
have beer defeated. That which is pro-
posed will not only win the approval of
the Senate, but will have the commenda-
ton of the whole people. and will be one
of the first good results to the country of
the substitution of statesman in place
of a dogmatic theorist in the Presidency.

TAX REDUCTION.

The announcement that the Governor,
the Controller and representatives of the
Finance and the Ways and Means COM
mittees of the Senate and Assembly are
engaged IN an earnest endeavor to reduce
the appropriations of the Legislature to
such an extent that all expenditures may
be provided for by tax levy not exceed.
ing 40 cents on the $100 is in the highest
degree gratifying to the people. 1t is to
be hoped these efforts will not Ee in vain,
and that such reductions may be made
without i'm periIing the service OF any OF
the institutions of the State or involving q
deficiency which wiiAentaii excessive tax
alton later on.
1t is beyond question that many of the
appropriations made during this session
can be reduced without materially njur.
ing any institution or depriving the State
of any necessary public improvement. 1t
will be the duty OF the Governor and the
conferees of the two houses of the Legis-
lature to decide where these reductions
can be made. 1t 10 upon their judgment
that the people must rely for protection
from waste and extravaganza, and for
tunately the earnestness with which they
seem to have undertaken the task prom.
ises good results.
The need OF economy at this time is
everywhere recognized. The long de-.
preston resulting from the experiments
with Democratic tariff has carried a
sense of want into every household and
comparative destitution to many families
That depression still weighs upon the
people, and while there is now every
prospect Of a revival of industry and a
return OF prosperity it will not do for the
Legislature to torestall it by any taxation
not absolutely necessary TO provide for
the maintenance of the State govern
ment. 1t will be with close interest.
therefore, that the reopie will watch the
proceedings now undertaken to reduce the
rate of taxation. and If it is effected to
anything like the extent desired, the MEM
bers of this Legislature, upon their re-
turn home, will receive degree of COM
mendation and approval from their con-
stituents which has been unknown in the
politics of California for many years.

THE CAUSE OF CUBA.

The dispatches of yesterday from Wash
ington announce that Cabinet meeting
had been held to consider the case of the
Dauntless, now under surveillance by the
Government officials at Jacksonville.
Upon the solution of this case depends
the decision of the new administration
with regard to its Cuban policy, and the
conference therefore was of no little i'm
portance to the country at large.
While no decision was arrived at in the
particular case 1t is gratifying to know
that the new administration has so
promptly given consideration 10 the prob
lens arising from the situation in Cuba
1t is to be hoped the Government will see
its way clear to taking position wnich
will materially aid the cause of the Cuban
patriots without violating any OF the
duties which international law imposes
upon the United States.
1t is worthy of note that since the new
administration came into office the Span
ish officials in Cuba have been careful
not to Cypress or wrong any American
citizen in the island. No issue has arisen
which would give to Secretary Sherman
an opportunity to show his zeal in pro-
tecting our citizens abroad. This careful
ness on the part of Weyler may be due to
the fact that he recognizes in the new ad-
ministration force quite different from
that of Grover Cleveland, and is wise
enough to give it no occasion for inter-
ference.
1t will be remembered that in his inaug
ural address President Mckinley declared,
at will be our aim to pursue firm and
dignified foreign policy which shall be
lust, impartial, ever watchful of our Ma
tional honor and always insisting upon
the enforcement of the lawful rights of
American citizens everywhere" 1t is evil
dent that these diplomatic words have
been understood in their true meaning by
the Spanish authorities, and that we shall
hear no more of those complaints of ill
treatment of Americans in Cuba which
were so frequent under the Cleveland
regime.
In all that Mckinley has said about our
non-interierence with the domestic con-
Germs of other nations the people are as
fully agreed as they are in support of his
declaration OF an intent to maintain the
rights of Americans abroad. Neverthe
less they do not regard the affairs of Cuba
as altogether foreign. 1t is all American
island, and of right ought to be under the
protection of the American continental
system. Public sentiment on the subject
will be fully manifest at the mass-meet-
ing to be held in this City tomorrow
evening, and that sentiment, while declar-
ing emphatlcally for the protection OF
American citizens in Cuba, will be hardly
less strong in expressing itself in favor of
the cause of the patriots and the inde-
pendence OF the island.
The San Francisco call., 1897-03-19
RECIPROCITY.

Under the new tariff the reciprocity pro.
visions will be much larger than those
under the Mckinley tariff Of 1890. Not
only have all the reciprocity features OF
the former act been fully restored, but the
policy has been extended by adding to
sugar, tea, coffee and hides as articles OF
which 10 MAKE reciprocal agreements such
articles as champagne, brandy, wines,
artificial and natural mineral waters,
argols and silk laces.
While the addition of these new articles
to the list Of goods on which the Govern.
ment has the right TO reduce duty in order
to promote com mercial relations with for
eign countries will materially aid the
administration in arranging reciprocity
treaties, it will be seen there is some dan
ger in them to California. Our people are
materially interested in the maintenance
of protective duties on champagne,
brandy, wines and mineral waters. 1t
would be an injury to some OF the most
important industries of this State if these
articles were placed on the free list in
order to facilitate the commerce OF our
Eastern cities.
Under the new tariff, as 1t stands, ample
duties are placed on champagne, wines
and brandles. These duties. however, are
none too large to main tain the prosperity
of the grape-growing industry in Cali
fornia against the competition OF older
vineyards and cheaper labor in Europe.
There would be q distinct loss to US in
these industries in any and every treaty
OF reciprocity which would permit the free
entry of foreign wines and brandy to COM
pete with the home industry.
The subject is one to which the attention
of the grape-growers and wine and brandy
producers of the State should be called.
The Republicans of California are AZ
favorable to reciprocity treaties as those Of
any other State in the Union, but there is
no reason why California industries
should be sacrificed to promote the trade
of the East. 1t will be the duty of the
California delegation in Congress to guard
carefully against any injury to the State
on this score. Reciprocity treaties which
will allow the free entry of wines and
brandies should not be negotiated with
any nation which is q large producer of
those articles. If due protection is given.
California can produce all the wine that
the people of the United States need, and
no treaty should be arranged that will
interfere with the development of the
industry.
