QUE FOREIGN MARKETS.

Foreign markets for American products
are constantly and rapidly increasing This
is especially true of farm products. Almost
any farm product of which this country
raises a surplus finds a ready sale in some
foreign market. Even American squashes
are in demand, and our national Depart
ment of Agriculture has been requested to
send an agent who is well skilled in prepar-
ing squashes for table use to introduce them

The necessity for the enactment and en-
fOrcement of stringent pure food laws seems
to be constantly increasing. Consumers of
manufactured foods of all kinds are 80 alb
sOlutely at the mercy of those who prepare
such foods and the temptation for dishon-
esty in the preparation seems to be so great
that the rigid enforcement of laws to pre-
vent the adulteration of all articles Of food
is imperatively demanded. A recent case in
Ohio furnishes a rather startling illustration
of the extent to which such adulterations
can be carried and the brazen selflshness
with which they are defended. A manufac-
turer of alleged maple syrup was arrested
and tried for violating the pure food laws.
tain any maple syrup at all, but was made
from ordinary granulated sugar highly
favored and colored with decoction made
by boiling maple chips and old pig skins in
water in large copper kettles until it
reached the required consistency and color,
when it was SKINNED and filtered and the
product used as a flavoring and coloring ex-
tract to give the cane syrup the appear
and flavor of maple syrup. 1t was hand
somely labeled and sold as pure maple
syrup. The manufacturer stubbornly de-
Tended the prosecution on the pretense that
the composition did not contain anything
that was deleterious. But he was rightly
convicted and the full penalty of the law,
whatever it is, could not be adequate pun
ishment for such villainOus and unscrupu-
lous imposition upon innocent consumers.
There ought to be uniformity of legislation
by all the States upon this subject of pure
foods, and the penalties ought to be severe
enough to prevent the violation of such
laws. The tendency is to cheaper these
products by adulteration. And the fraud
consists in selling an adulteration for pure
and standard article. The law ought to
protect innocent consumers. They have no
means for detecting the fraud or of pro-
tecting themselves Food inspectors ought
to see that pure food laws are rigidly en-
forced. The health of the consumers de-
mands this. Unscrupulous manufacturers
will not hesitate to use unwholesome arti-
cles in making adulterated foods. Milk,
butter, tea, coffee, sugar, maple syrup and
many other articles have by long use ac.
quired we'll defined and established mean
ings, and no adulteratiOn or imitation of
such articles should be sold as pure or under
the name of the genuine product All arti.
cles Of food should be sold for just what
they are, and nothing that is deleterious or
injurious to health should be sold at all as
an article of food.

OONsT1TUTIONAL LEGERDEMAIN

Race prejudice in the Southern States is
still controlling the making of cOnstitu-
tiOnaI amendments. Mississippi, South Car
Olina and Louisiana have adopted consti-
tutional amendments which have for their
objects the disfranchsement of the colored
citizens. These amendments have been very
adroitly drawn with that one purpose in
view. Mississippi adopted an amendment
fixing an alleged educational qualification
which required an ability to read section
of the constitution or to understand and
explain it when read. AS the judges would
be white men prejudiced in favor of "white
supremacy" the negro citizen who applied
for registration could be readily rejected.
In Louisiana it was discovered that an
educational qualification would disfranchise
fully One-ffth Of the white male citizens and
a villainous expedient had to be adopted in
order to disfranchise the blacks and still
permit these illiterate whites to vote. To
accomplish this it was also provided that no
naturalized person of foregn birth and no
person who was entitled to vote prior to
January /, 1867, and no SON or grandson of
any such person 81 years of age, should be
denied the right to vote. The acknowledged
intention of this amendment is to entirely
disfranchise the negro citizens and still per-
NIT all the whites to vote The fraud in this
is so palpable that the supreme court Of the
United States ought to and in due time
probably will set this amendment aside as
being in violation of the constitution of the
United States.
Alabama is about to act in this same di-
reetion, and the Legislature has provided for
the submission of the question OF consti-
tutional convention TO a vote OF the people
for the purpose Of following the example OF
Louisiana in disfranchising the negroes.
n this sort of constitutional trickery
proves successful in these States, and aCcom>
plishes the avowed object for which it is
done, it will probably be followed in the
other Southern States.
II the negroes should all start to move
away from any one of these States the white
people would mob and butcher them for at
tempting to go, and yet the Southern whites
will not accord to the negroes the rights Of
citizenship which the constitution Of the
United States guarantees to them. Thirty
six years ago the negroes were liberated
from slavery by the proclamation of Presi-
dent Lincoln because their masters were
seeking to destroy this government, and an
amendment to the national constitution
gave them full rights of citizenship. They
are natural born citizens, and no State has
the right by any constitutional trickery or
legerdemain to deprive them Of the right to
vote, and it will devolve upon the national
government to see that they are fully pro-
tected in the exercise of this right in every
State in the Union.

Ignorant Butter.

Ten-cent butter, as rule, is loaded down
with ignorance. Ignorance presides at every
step in its history-ignorance of what the
maker should have known to have made it
worth as much as the best. The original
butter fat as it came from the cow is all
right; but ignorance took it in hand and its
course was downward from that time on.

NOTICE OF SALE WITHDRAWN,
Order by Judge Bradley ARectin,
AnacOstia Railroad

Justice Bradley this afternoon signed an
order directing that the notice of sale of
the Anacostia and Potomac River Railroad
Company be withdrawn from advertise
ment and the sale not be made.
This action was taken in connection with
a petition presented by Frederick c. Ste
vens, Oscar t. Crosby and Charles A. Lieb
They set forth that they have obtained con-
troll and ownership of nearly all the bonds
Oh the Anacostia and Potomac Railroad
company, secured by deed Of trust under
which Charles A. James and Charles G.
Glover, trustees, have been advertising the
ROAD ana property for sale. The exception
was explained to be 81, 600 par value, which.
II was added, will be secured so soon as the
same can be found.
1t was further set forth by the petition
ers that they have also obtained ownership
ana control of all bonds of the raiIroa d
company secured by the second and third
Geeds OF trust. except a very small portion
as 10 which they are now negotiating They
also control they say, the other claims. so
that there is 10 one now insisting upon a
sale OF the road and property, and no one
mat VIII or can 40 SO outside of the petit
TONERS.
In conclusion. the petitioners stated that
the dlHerences heretofore existing between
them as the holders of the securities and
the fal!rcad company have been adjusted
and therefore it was no longer wished to
have the sale.

Effect of Competition.

Representative Jenkins referred to the
experience he had in his town in Wisconsin.
n competitive company had come in, and
the Bell company had Immediately reduced
Its rates. He thought, however, the ideal
plan was to have one company in a town
furnishing the service at reasonable rate,
II that plan could be carried out.
Mr.. Jenkins asked Mr.. Hemphill il the
men he represented could present a writ
ten contract to either undertake the SER
vice at the lower rate or forfeit money.
Mr.. Hemphill said there was no doubt
That competitive company would be Or
ganized and would furnish the service, 1t
was not fair to assume that the company
which comes here will be inferior to those
operating in Detroit and other cities.
The hearing closed at this point.

WANT Of PRESSURE.
Complaint by Senator Foraker Of
Failing Water Supply.

Complaint was recently made to the Dis
trict Commissioners by Senator Foraker of
Ohio of lack of water pressure at his
house, 1900 10th street The Commission
ers today informed the senator that the
pressure in his house and it's vicinity is
nearly normal, about 1913 pounds, but they
explain that the supply is such that when
ever there is large draft upon the mains.
such as always occurs when the weather is
exceptionally cold and water is allowed to
run to prevent freezing, it is impossible to
times. say the Commissioners, 1t is not at
ali improbable that the water will fail to
reach the highest fixtures on the third
floor of the house.
The Commissioners express regret that it
is at present impracticable to increase the
pressure in that part of the city, and state
that it is difficult to see how permanent re-
lief can be afforded until the completion of
the new aqueduct tunnel and the Howard
University reservoir

Mr.. Hcmphilrs Rejoinder,


Mr.. Hemphiil said it was not desired to
force the company to do business at a loss
but If the company was not willing to fur
nish service at the rates imposed by Con-
greSS, there were others who were ready
to obey the mandates of Congress and give
the people of Washington telephone SER
vice at those rates
Mr.. Hemphil reviewed the history of the
organization and conduct of the telenbore
companies of the District, resulting in the
establishment of the company which is now
doing business. He went at length into the
financial operations of the company to
show that the business had been exceed
ingly profitable. His remarks summarized
the testimony which has been presented
several times at congressional hearings
Mr.. Hemphill said the company claimed
the high rates were necessary. He said one
trouble was that the company was a
licensee of the Bell Telephone Company,
and paid royalties and rentals upon the
mechanical appliances of the exchange
Cost of Service Lessened.
There has been great development in the
telephone business and the company claims
that the improvements increase the cost of
service, which it charged up to the SUBJ
scribers. There many people in this
country who do not take this view, and
there from 900 TO 1000 telephone ex-
changes in this country established upon
this basis In every city where rival com
panies have been located the rates have
been reduced at least 80 per cent In those
cases the Bell telephone has come down
to the competitive rates, and in some cases
lower. The Bell Telephone Company has
continued to do business
Mr.. Hemphill said if the Bell company
could reduce it's rates in cities where there
is competition the rates coulG be lowered in
Washington uE-E
He cited the city of Detroit as case pre-
senting features similar to the situation in
Washington. The Bell company in Detroit
had reduced its rates below those of it's
competitor. In Canada similar conditions
prevailed and the rates We're very much
lower than in Washington.
Actual Cost of the Service.
Mr.. A. s. Worthington, for the telephone
company, said it was not eontended by any
| one that Congress should compel the COM
pany to do business at rate less than cost
The only question is enc of fact, whether
| it IS possible to do business at the rate pro-
posed. The company of the opposition have
| been taking testimony here upon the cues.
| ton of fact. The testimony showed, ne
| said, that 1t cost so year OF. an average
| for each telephone, while the average rate
allowed by the statute was S44. The oppo-
sition is to take testimony in other cities
/ to show, If possible, that the rate is too
| high.
| In view of these facts, he said it was
| preposterous proposition to ask Congress to
| force the company to do business at loss
TO It's Stockholders. He said it would be
