power of inspection is nothing more
or | 50 than right of search, and vio-
latss that constitutional provision which
declares that the people shall be secure
in their houses against just such un-
reasonable searches. This infamous
statute contcmptuOusly treats the whole
city of New York as an infected city
subject to inspections: it regards the
people as lawbrcakers and opens up
their houses to the inspection of 4
horde Of Republican partisans: it makes
1t Il crime TO refuse to answer any or all
of their inquiries and it is made u felony
for any citizen to refuse to assist these
deputies
The law is based upon the assump-
tiUn that the people of the city of New
York are unable or unwilling honestly
to enforce the election and registration
laws at their own home. and hence that
tn. state has a legal and constitutional
right to usurp such functions. ignoring
local officials, local sentiments and local

as an excuse to provide for partisan
favorites.
There was neither any necessity nor
demand for the measure, and every con-
servative and Independent newspaper
in the state so concludes. The ntima-
tion contained in the pettyfogging mes
sage of Governor Black that there was
a demand for such legislation on the
part of conservative citizens of every
party was false and must have been
known by him to be such.'

Ohio claims the honor OF being the
birthplace of the first American to
hoist flag over captured fort in the
Old World.

Americans Shut Out OF the Philippines.


As is we'll known, America was su

opening of tho export business of the
island on large scale until within
few years. Thereasonsfo for the decline
of American influence were largely the
drawing out of capital by the older
members of the great American trad
ing firms, and their leaving the busi-
ness to younger members of their FAM
lilies, who found themselves with
great responsibilities and reduced
capital Gradually English firms,
with abundant capital, succeeded to the
bulk of the business. The last Ameri-
can firms in Manila were crowded out
three years ago by Spanish intrigues,

growing ont of the Cuban troubles.

A man, who had. until recently, been en-

who was relieved of his work and wages
because of a chronic thirst for alcoholic
beverages. awoke one morning to find him
self without money or friends. This do
not surprise him, for he had gone to bed

something, however that he did not have

he hastened to the nearest wholesale drug
store. Here he explained that he was EN-
ployed on one Of the steamboat lines; that
they desired two gallons of alcohol to be
used in cleaning the brasswork- on the
boats; that he had obtained one gallon
which was in the jug, but that was al
the dealer had that he first called on, and
he wished to procure another gallon.
Accordingly The clerk poured gallon Of
alcohol in on the gallon Of water which
formed the beverage known to thirsty ones

and water, leaving an equal amount of tho
