Something 1ust as Good.

An East End man was advised some
time ago not to drink coffee, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. His doctor told
him it helped to make his liver torpid and
his liver was doing its best to render life
miserable for himself and all the rest of
the family.
But no, he couldn't give up his two cups
at breakfast time. Nothing could take the
place of the delicious Java and Mocha
mixed that he had learned to love
One day his wife suggested in a mild
way that he might be just as well salts
fled with one of the brands of imitation
coffee He almost frothed at the mouth.
THAT Internal stuff" he cried. Not
much. The very first gulp would settle
me- I'd like to see anybody try to fool me
with a counterfeit of that sort.
He didn't notice that his wife quietly
smiled. But, strange to say, from that
time on he grew better. His bilious ten
dency was greatly lessened. He felt like
new man.
One day he met the doctor.
Hello, doc" he cried I'm getting bet
ter in spite of you"
"Gven up coffee, have you?' queried
the smiling doctor.
Given up coffee? Not much. Coffee's
all right"
A few weeks later he met the man from
whom he orders his groceries.
"Hulo' quoth the grocer, chow well
you are looking.
Yes said the convalescent, I'm feel
ing a great deal better"
by the way" said the grocer, ''you
seem to like that substitute I've been send
ing you"
What substituted"
why the substitute for coffee" and he
named one of the numerous limitations of
the fragrant berry.
Never had a cup of it in the house."
said the bilious man emphaticaly
That's funny" said the grocer 81
haven't sold your folks a pouNd of genu-
inc coffee in the last three months"
The bilious man didn't say anything fur
Their, but his thoughts were busy. The
next morning he looked at his cup a little
suspiciously, but he drank it without a
tremor Perhaps he fancied he detected
the difference. Perhaps not. Anyway
his wife still fondly imagines he doesn't
know of the deception.t And every time
he drinks a cup of the decoction he con-
graduates himself on the fact that his
health is so much improved that he can
control his temper. r..

A 10 Per Cent. Advantage.

Mr.. Dingley, chairman of the ways and
means committee, speaking of the cause
of the trouble of the cotton manufacture
ing industry of New England, said, in an
interview day or two ago, that the South
has an advantage of about 40 per cent in
the manufacture of cheap cottons. If that
Is the case it will not be very long before
all the cheaper grades of cotton goods pro-
duced in this country will be manufactured
In the South.
In his interview, Mr.. Dingley insinuated
that the greater part of this advantage
was due to the degradation of labor He
said: mo attempt should be made to in
terfere with the natural advantages
which one section of the country may have
over another but advantages gained
through the degradation of labor cannot
long survive.
Low wages and the consequent low
standard of living defeat their own pur-
pose by reducing the power of consump-
ton, and, therefore, in the end, limiting
the field for production"
But is it a fact that the advantage the
South has is gained by the degradation of
labor? Let our manufacturers answer.
We feel certain it is not. While it may be
true that wages in the South are not quite
so high as they are in the North it doesn't
follow that southern operatives don't live
as well as the northern operatives do. The
fact that it costs less to live in the South
is one of the natural advantages of which
Mr.. Dingley speaks. In the South compar-
atively little clothing is required and the
amount of fuel needed is small. The cost
of food is also less. When all of these
things are taken into consideration it is
probable that southern operatives live
about as well as the operatives of the
North. Assuming that such is the case.
Mr.. Dingley does the South injustice by
ins!nuating that whatever advantage she
has in cotton manufacturing is due to the
degradation of labor.

Not Comforting.
scheme.

The Philadelphia Ledger says that the
people of Savannah cannot accuse the
President of partially In appointing a
Collector of the Port who is not accepta-
bic to them. The Ledger says he treats
Northern cities in the same way. The
Ledger's explanation is not comforting
As far as we are informed the President
has not appointed a colored man to the
office of Postmaster of Collector of the
Port in any Northern city.
We are not Directing to republican,
however Objectionable he may be from
a partisan point of view. We are object
ing to colored man because we believe
that colored man in so important and
prominent a position would be detrimental
to the interests of our city.
We are doing our utmost to build up our
city-to increase it's wealth and popula-
ton. To accomplish that we depend large
ly upon Northern capital and immigration.
If we should have colored men In our
highest public offices the difficulties in
the way of getting either capital or i'm
migrants would be greatly increased.
Northern people have a greater prejudice
dSdli4Sl COiOltN pSOpic imam tHe southern
people have, and they hesitate 10 invest
money or make their homes where colored
people appear to have unusual prominence.
| OF the truth of this the North furnishes
plenty of evidence. The President would
not. for instance, appoint colored man
| Postmaster at any Ohio town, although
there is a large population of colored peo-
pie in Ohio. If he should indicate an in
tention to do so he would receive more
protests against such an appointment than
he has received from Savannah against
appointing a colored man Collector of Gus
toms al this port.
The President understands the situati ton
| thoroughly. but he prefers to do what he
thinks will contribute the most TO his re-
nomination rather than comply with the
wishes of the people of this city.

NOr@an's Mistake.

Senator Morgan seems to be alone in the
belief that Mr. Cleveland favored the an
nexation Of Hawaii to this country. He
says that he knows a confidential friend
of Mr. Cleveland who entertains the same
belief in regard to the matter that he does.
but he has not yet named the confidential
friend, and it is pretty safe to assume that
he will not.
Senator Morgan so thoroughly dislikes
Mr.. Cleveland that it is not surprising that
he makes mistakes in regard to the lat
ter's position on public questions. The
idea that so clear-headed a man as Mr.
Cleveland favored the annexation of Ha-
wall to this country is preposterous The
calm and positive manner in which he de-
MES that he ever did is sufficient to salts
fy any candid man that Senator Morgan
must have dreamed that Mr.. Cleveland
favored annexation, and that his dream is
the only foundation his belief has in regard
to that matter. 1t is certain that nobody
except Senator Morgan entertalns such
a belief, unless it be the mysterious con-
tdential friend of Mr. Cleveland who vet
remains in the background.
As matter of fact Mr.. Cleveland. when
President, not only condemned the meth
DDS by which the Dole government got
possession of Hawaii, but he was against
the annexation of that country to the
United States under any circumstances.
That he was against it was evident from
the vigorous policy he adopted to defeat
annexation. He thought we had troubles
enough already from a mixed population
in the Southern states and politically rot
ten states like Nevada without annexing
the Hawaiian Islands with their mixed
population.
The native Hawaiians are opposed to
annexation. They have never been con-
suited in regard to it. President Dole
would like the world to understand that
they are so lacking in intelligence that
they have no right to ask TO be consulted.
Mr.. Dole, however is not a fair judge He
was the head and front of the conspiracy
which overthrow the lawful government
of Hawaii and he is the chief tool of those
who are scheming to have Hawaii annex
ed to this country. He knew also that
If the question of annexation were submit
ted to vote of the Hawaiians annexation
NOulu DC QeIedJeQ. therefore, he brushes
the Hawaiians aside with the statement
that they are not sufficiently intelligent
to pass upon the question of annexation
Only those who flched the government
from the Hawaiians are intelligent enough
in Mr.. Dole's opinion, to say whether OF
| not they want annexation.
Mr.. Cleveland says that investigation
convinced him that "our interference in
the revolution of 1898 was disgraceful' ano
that for the sake of our national honor and
the country's fair name he would have
repaired that wrong. Senator Morgan
doesn't want the wrong repaired He ap-
proves of the methods by which the little
| oligarchy, of which President Dole is the
head, got possession of Hawaii
and he calls President Dole a great an6
| good man. He may hold whatever views
he pleases in regard to the matter, but
he is evident that he will not succeed in
so using Mr.. Cleveland as to make him
contribute to the success of the Hawaiian
| scheme,

move the duty on German bicycles. They
are not afraid OF German competition
They make a better wheel than the Ger

the Dngley law went into effect they were
rapidly gaining control of the German
market. Under the short-sighted provis-
ions Of the new tariff law the Germans
are demanding ret0latory legislation
against the United states, and there is
danger that American-made wheels will be
shut out OF the German market In eonse-

The fact that those New England mills.
which have virtually locked out their en-
ployes by making wage reductions which
they say they cannot accept, having been
earning dividends right along, and have
declared dividends even since the begin

the contentious of the mill owners and
in favor of the strikers, in so far as public
opinion is concerned. 1t has been charc-
ed in the public prints in New England
that many Of these mill enterprises arc
over capitalized, and that the establish
ments are required to pay dividends upon
fictitious values. Suppose all of the water
were squeezed out of the stocks, would it
