THE PURE FOOD BILL.

Assembly bill 70 has been reported
hand, with amendments, putting it in
a new form, and with the recommends
ton that it do pass.
This is one of the especially import
ant measures of the session. In 1895
the first genuine pure food and anti
adulteration law of the State was pass
ed. 1t was laughed at ait first, held to
be too cumbersome to be effective, and
1t was forecast that it would prove
dead letter. So far as the interior of
the State is concerned so it has been,
but not from any defect in the bill
passed in 1895, but because it has not
been the special duty of any one to en-
force it.
In San Francisco the case has been
very different one. There local organi-
cation put power behind the law with
efficient administration to make the
needed tests Of the law. The result has
been that the statute has safely passed
the ordeal of the lower courts, has been
tried on appeal, and it has come out
of the whole unscathed In that city
the law is enforced, and has proved
beneficent not only to consumers, but
has worked in the best interests of
dealers in food supplies, thought at first
not few of them were hostile to it.
Tho hill now offa,-a1 for
as we read it, little more than a meas
ure to put power behind the old law
and thus insure its enforcement 1t
makes it a duty incumbent upon the
State Board of Health to see that the
laws forbidding fraud, adulteration and
impurity in food, drinks or drugs are
enforced; that the regulation concern
ing true labelling of food, drugs, drinks
and all articles for human consumption
is observed; to prosecute firms, manu-
facturers and individuals who defy the
law, by making or offering for sale as
wholesome, pure and unadulterated,
that which is fraudulent, impure and
adulterated, without so plainly mark
| ing such goods as to disclose their true
character.
In other words it is now to be made
the duty of the State Board of Health
to enforce the present law strictly. But
| that body is unsalaried 1t must,
therefore, be given the sinews of war
against fraud, which it is directed to
assail. Therefore, to it is committed
the expenditure of $4,000 to pay its
attorney who is to diligently prosecute
/ offenders, to meet the charges neces-
sary in a clerical line; to respond to
the employment Of manager inspec-
tor and chemist, and to pay the travel

The Memphis (Tenn.) "Scimetar," in
no subdued tones reminds the anti
expansionists, and such as are of it's
Democratic faith, who are represented
by Mr.. Stephen M. White, of Califor-
MIA, that precisely the doctrine
they now advance in defense of their
positions-best stated by Senator Hoar
was maintained by the Secessionists
of the South. They, too, held, and they
fought bravely to maintain their faith,
that all sovereignty and power not ex-
pressly conferred by the Constitution
upon the United States as a unit, are
reserved to the States and the people.
But the anti-expansionist of Massa-
chusetts whose head was silvered in the
service of his country, waged long
and bloody war against the secession
lists to impress them with different
view of the question and to force them
into a Union, or rather hold them in a
Union from which they struggled to de-
part. The question is when was Mr.
Hoar right?

The Africans Endurance.

Two cases notably illustrative of the
African natives power of endurance
are reported from the British Central
Africa Protectorate. In each instance
a man was dragged from his canoe by
crocodile, and had an arm bitten al
most to a. pulp. The @men had to be
taken long distances overland. On
reaching Zomba each had the injured
limb amputated and quickly recovered.
Dr. Douglas Gray, acting chief medi-
cal officer there remarks further, in
his report, upon the growing confidence
of the native in the European medicos.
Reports of cures-more especially in re-
lation to surgery-spread rapidly among
the natives. and the one old cure-a

candidate receives.
Section 1,1S7 designates that all NOM
nations made by conventions shall be
entitled party nominations" requires
that the certificate of nominations must
be in writing and shall contain the
name of the person nominated, his res
idence, the office for which he is NOM
mated, and shall designate the princl-
pal, and in not more than five words
the name of the political party which
the convention making such non1ina-
ton represents 1t also imposes upon
such convention the duty of selecting
some simple design or emblem to des-
ignate the candidates of such political
party.
1t also likewise provides that when an
independent body makes nominations,
as provided in Section /, 1873 that it shall
likewise select some emblem or device.
It gives directions for the style and
character of device or emblem, and
how the choice is to be made where swu
or more bodies select the same; also
that where there is failure of any par
ty to select an emblem there shall be
one chosen by the officer with wnom
the certificate of nomination is filed.
All nominations by petition are to be
known, in the proposed law, as indie
pendent nominations (Section 1.1SS).
Section 1,196 sets forth in detail the
duty of the County Clerks to furnish
proper ballots.
Section 1,197, is entirely reformed to
conform with the proposed changes for
the form, printing and everything in
connection with the ballot By the
change in Section 1,205, the voter is
given instructions as to the marking of
the ballot, or the writing in of the name
of some candidate in the blanks; also
for voting upon Constitutional amend
ments An amendment to Section
1,210 requires that card containing in
structions such as are posted, shall be
sent to every voter in the same man
ner as sample ballots are now for
warded.
Section ] ,211 permits voter to mark
his ballot in different ways without
losing his vote. The changes appear
to simplify the process and to prevent
any loss of the vote through a mere
technical error. Sections 1,257-1.25S
provide how the ballots shall be count
ed by being first segregated into
straight and split ballots; that then
the number of straight party votes for
each candidate shall be entered in gross
opposite his name, and then the split
ballots by tallies; the clerks are also
required to keep an accurate tally

date, so that the number of straight

1t is to be hoped that this important
bill will not suffer delays nor meet with
distractions that will prevent its con-
sideration while there is still time to
give it the calm elaboration a meas
ure fraught with so much of interest
ought to have. So far as we have been
able to analyze it, the bin is one worthy
of adoption. There may be found ne
cessity to make few notifications. but
the main and essential features move
in a right direction, and their purpose
is one entirely commendable

gan this fight in the Roanoke con
ventiOu, in 1897, and though his
resolution was defeated there, it
was clearly seen that the senti.

Recent senatorial elections in

the necessity Of allowing the pco-

such measures us will secure such
a result. Tho address is signed by
