The present is time when class of ex-
citement-loving persons take delight in
scare heads and what are known as cock
and-bull stories. Saturday a number of
that class of persons sent dispatches indi-
eating Increased activity at United
States navy yards, arsenals and forts. The
purpose of these purveyors of excitement
is to feed the war spirit and incidentally to
add a dollar or two to a weeks stipend.
Possibly the latter was the first object.

unreliable reports-unreliable because the
authorities at washington denied that
there is increased activity at the navy
yards or arsenals.

the laws apply with equal strictness to
both, and the authorities do not hesitate to
condemn and destroy everything in the
way of foods and drinks that does not
come up TO the official standard of purity.
In the absence of legislation on the subject
in this country, until within few years,
there has been wide and tempting field
for the adulteration of both foods and
drinks for the purpose of gain, and experts
say it has been assiduously cultivated.
Many articles of food of common consump-
ton have been injuriously adulterated and
the manufacture of liquors and wines out
of hurtful ingredients has been carried to
great extent. Glucose enters into the man
ufacture of most of the syrups, honey,
jellies, molasses and other sweet foods on
the market and physicians say it's extern
sive use is a prolific cause of Bright's dis
ease of the kidneys. Spices, teas, coffees
and other articles urged upon the public
on the ground of cheapness are all more or
less adulterated. In the way of drinks the
most fiery alcohol, sometimes even wood
alcohol is used as the foundation Of liquors
and wines, and sulphuric acid is used in the
manufacture of so-caled port, sherry and
Madeira wines, which are concocted by a
fixed formula and colored and flayored so
as to bear quite a deceptive resemblance
to the genuine. ''At least half of the
vinegar sold in the Cities" says an author

rent in Germany before the enactment of
a law for the prevention of adulteration

the only one that survived. Now that
country has strict laws on the subject, and
they are rigidly enforced. A few of the
States of the Union have enacted laws on
the subject, and all should do so. A bill
Oh the subject applicable to the District Of
Columbia and the Territories was sub

orders from the department, is superintend-

soon as they have removed all the bodies
that can be found and the personal prop
erty in the ship they will begin to inves-
tigate the cause of the explosion. Consid-
ering the suddenness of the disaster and
its appalling character these results have
been accomplished in very short time,
and they are a sufficient answer to the
charge that the government was slow to
act or was trying to conceal the facts.
Really, it has acted with promptness and
energy, and has adopted the only proper
course for ascertaining the facts. 1t will
be time enough to talk about suppressing
facts after they have been obtained Mean
while critics of the government would do
well to suppress their groundless charges.

WHAT CONSTITUTES A CAUSE OF
WAR.

The Marquis of Dufferin, British diplo-
mate of high standing and wide experience,
was asked the following question:
If the Maine explosion shall prove to have
been caused by design, yet through no fault
of the Spanish government what action by
Spain would satisfy the diplomatic require
ments of the situation? Could the crime
be treated as casus belt?
The answer was that, according to the
code of international law, it would not be
a just cause of war. I'm my opinion" said
Lord Dufferin, "the crime of d private in
dividual, however wicked and abominable
and however disastrous in it's consequences,
if committed on his own initiative can never
become a just casus bell between two ma
TONS" From technical, diplomatic point
of view this is probably correct, but all
tional law is not hard and fast CODE A
nation is accountable to itself alone, and
in the last resort every nation judges it's
relations to foreign powers and what con-
stitutes a cause of war for itself In the
case of the United States, violation of
the Monroe doctrine is cause of war, yet
European governments do not recognize it
DIS SucH. Moreover, with NATIONS as WITH
individuals, it is the last straw that breaks
the camel's back and in estimating the
gravity of any particular act it must be
construed in the light of previous acts and
existing conditions If the relations be-
tween Spain and the United STATES had not
been strained for two years past; if Ameri-
can commerce had not been injured to the
extent Of hundreds of millions of dollars; if
a brutal and barbarous warfare had not
been going on for three years almost at our
very doors, and if all sorts of insults had
not been heaped on our government and
country, the case would be different; but,
under the circumstances, the sinking of a
battle ship and $50 sailors by hostile Span
lard would be good cause of war if the
United States chose to make it 50. AT any
rate, it could easily be made the ground
of an ultimatum that would answer the
same purpose. Lord Dufferins government
has never been restrained by the technicali-
ties of international law from finding a
cause of war when it wanted one.

ments then become infected with microbes
they are his own particular family microbes
and will do him no harm. But it is utter
folly to assume that the sterilizing of the
pencils will protect child from any dis
ease that affects another child. If an in
cipient case of scarlet fever or diphtheria
is in the school every one who has had any
experience in the matter knows that per-
sonal contact, or the handling of common
objects is not necessary in conveying the
contagion. The germs of the malady are
carried in the air and cannot be guarded
against. But personal contact is an i'm
portant element, and if pencils, books,
chalk, tablets and all the parphernalia of
the schoolroom were put in a sterilizing
oven daily the children could not be kept
apart on the playground, or even in the
room itself. The fact is that the microbe
nonsense is getting to such point that
sensitive human beings are in danger of ac-
quiring fear OF each other that will lead
them each to seek refuge on a desert island
or in steriized tower, isolated from all
their kind. If people are to continue to live
in the same towns and the same houses
they must take some chances. a good

have Il separate room and a teacher for

smiled and seemed supremacy happy.
The last thing she took much notice of
was Hoffman's Christ" a picture which
had been given to her by Lady Henry Som

of the bed. She called Miss Gordon and
said;
