The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1899-01-04

The question of the bearings of our
federal constitution on the government
of newly acquired territories, about which
so much haze seems to have gathered in
the popular mind, is very clearly and ex-
haustively treated in the American
Monthly Review of Reviews for January
by Prof. Harry Pratt Judson of the Uni
versty of Chicago. Prof. Judson reaches
the conclusion that the constitution pre-
\ents no difficulties whatever to our ac-
isition and control of such territories

IMPREs SEQ with the fact that there
was an increase of 25 per cent in the
Chicago death rate for 6iphtheria and
scarlet fever during the month OF Sep
tember az compared with August, DIR.
w. S. Christopher sets up theory
that, inasmuch as the two months
closely resemble each other in climatic
conditions, the greater number OF
deaths must have been due to assem-
bling the children in schools In Sep
TENDER, and he proposes, according to
an exchange, that an examination be
required of all children for evidences
of infectious diseases, particularly
diphtheria and scarlet fever, when
they enter school. A similar examin-
alton would also be required whenever
a child re turned to school after an Alb
sence of four days. EPupils displaying
symptoms of poor health would also
have to be examined. DR.. Christie
pher claims that by following this
method of supervision a considerably
higher average OF public health could
be attained.

A. PHILOSOPHER has arisen who
thinks he can prove that the earth Is
fat. He will have his cult, q magazine
organ, and, mo doubt, q place in the con-
gress of the history of religions at
Paris. He will be more prominent than
q congre ssman and less than q puRilist.
His fame is assured, and If he will go
on the lecture platform be can travel
around the globe on his proceeds. The
aforesaid philosopher and his prospec-
tive globe trot remind one OF another
curious anomaly. Bryan goes about
the country preaching the gospel OF
hard times to people who travel far by
rail and crowd by thousands into the
ball where the attraction Is presented,
paying over their dollars like little
men-dollsrs out of filled pockets,
spent to procure amusement,- where
upon Bryan pockets from two hundred
to twenty-five hundred dollars for his
paine, and goes elsewhere to tell these
generous alms-givers how bad off they
are. There ia flaw in the logic OF
these two demagogues, but it never
shakes their own belief in their ability
to hood wink the plain people.

Something Of that sort has

NEW YORK. Nov. New York's
election this year nae little Importance
outside the state. A number OF high
judicial positions are to be filed, but
these have been lost sight of in the
contests in few election
districts which TAmmany is
particularly anxious to carry.
One of these is the 10th dis
trict in which Croker is making q
desperate effort to upseat Robert
,Mszet.. Rep. ,)::chairman OF IRE legisla-
tive investigating committee that has
recently incurred the antmosity of the
Tammany boss by uncovering SO many
dissgreeable facts about Cookers ad-
ministration of the city government.
Colonization of voters and Wholesale
fraudulent naturalization by the
democrats in this district is charged.
The process of naturalization is very
simple indeed. The embryo citizen
never appears in court at
all. He ia impersonated by
dummy who is coached to pass
the required examination. The papers
when obtained are delivered to the
future "citizen" either in exchange
for his vote or for So or $40 or both.
Many are very willing to pay the
money, as the certificates of natural
cation or intention to become citizens
enable the holder to obtain work on
municipal improvements, as street
poieted an extraordinary session of the
sudreme court to be held in this city
Nov. 20 to try violations of the regis
trstion and primary laws.
One of the campaign documents cir
culsted by Tammany declares that
now, under democratic rule of the city,
sthe personal liberty of every citizen
in the metropolis is respected. The
spy system is gone. Fallen women are
not prosecuted and hunted like wide,
beasts, and the story of their unfor-
tunate condition heralded far and wild
thereby corrupting the morals of the
innocent children in our homes. The
liquor traffic is now regulated in q
manner that gives least offepse to the
people, and the result is less drunken
ness and fe yer arrests." The fact ie
that immortality and law-breaking is
open and widespread, and that the ar
rests are few simply because the poll
ice, to an extent never before known,
are in tho pay of the law-breakers.
The chairman of the republican coun-
~ committee charges that pool rooms
alone have paid Tammany. $780, 900 in
the past year for election purposes.

q clever skillet regarding "Our noble

of putting everything for which no
other use can be found into aforesaid
Chop-Suey. The dog is really named
"Bob" but that does not rhyme as we'll

other took advantage of the admiral's
visit to q burlesque "Cyrano de

that the thing which put to flight our
Spanish foes was the Dewey nose.
The admiral having at last selected

which are trying to diffuse a better knowl-

The editor Of this famous Russian news
paper is NJ FederhOn, n man OF very
broad views and high educational attain
meuts. Like an other Russian editors,
however. he is somewhat hampered in his
task of keeping the public in Russia up

Austria's chief newspaper Is one
which has gained great renown
even in the British Isles and
America for its faithful rehec-
ton of the best republican sentiments.
The Neue Freie Presse, or New Free
Press, Is published twice day In Vienna.
II is far and away the most-read and best
liked paper In Austro- Hungary, and has
for more than thirty years maintained an
exceedingly high reputation. IL may be
said to be the organ OF the liberal-tninded
ana IIee-tnlhkink citizens or all countries.
In Austria the Neue Freie Presse repre-
sents the ideas of the German-liberal par
~ of the empire. Its very high position
amongst European newspapers is due TO
its literary style, as well as to its politi-
cal opinions.
The newspaper which may be looked up
on as the leading ono IN the capital OF
Italy is la Trlbuna, a paper written es-
pecally for the people and in popular
style. There are several editions of II
daily. and most Of its subscribers pay their
Announcements in advance, as with other
continental papers. When one considers
that there are no less than twelve dailies
published in Rome alone, which has only
population of 4J0,000-one can form some
Idea OF the competition that goes on
amongst these journals. Il Is doubtless
for these reasons that La Tribuna, owing
to its spirited policy and popular style,
has made such Roadway In such short
time against its rivals. The paper takes
the tone OF what In Italy IS called the
liberal party, that Is the democratic
section of the pOpulace Every week 1t
issues a weekly edition, which Is called by
the name Of La Tribuna Supplemental, and
Is illustrated.
