A DEMOCRATIC POLICY.


1T is reported that the Democrats have
agreed upon line of policy in regard to
the Spanish treaty. 1t is to amend It so
that a declaration will be made that the
Filipinos snail be treated the same as the
Cubans. This means that whenever the
former shall give evidence that they can
sustain an independent government, the
United States shall withdraw. 1t may be
that there can be no objection to the injec-
ton of such a statement into treaty which
relates exclusively to an agreement between
the United States and Spain. but it would
not seem to be a fit place for it, nor would
it seem to have heavy force upon anybody,
it being a simple declaration in a treaty
with Spain. 1t is not probable that Spain
cares what is done with the Philippines
The course we may pursue is certainly no
affair of SPANS, consequently it is simply
a declaration of a policy which can better
be made by a resolution of Congress than
inserted in treaty to which the avowal
of our future policy in reference to the ISL
ands is entirely irrelevant. The truth is the
Democrats in the Senate have learned that
it will not do for chem, as a party, to vote
against the ratification of the treaty, SO
they propose TO prevent ratification by Of
fering an amendment which they hope will
not be adopted Failure to have their
amendment incorporated viii give them a
pretext to vote against ratification and in

PURE-FooD LEGISLATION.

The National Pure-Food Congress. which
met in Washington yesterday for a. four
days session, represents the growing senti-
ment against the adulteration of foods and
the sale of imitation articles for genuine.
The evil is one that seems inherent in
highly organized communities. Civilization
develops some crimes of its own, as well as
diseases. In new countries and communities
the abundance and cheapness of foods leave
little inducement for their adulteration, but
as population increases competition becomes
sharper, manufacturers and dealers grow
less conscientious, and the demand for cheap
food offers an inducement for authorizations
and limitations. This has been the experience
in all countries, including the United States.
Thirty or forty years ago such thing as
food adulteration was almost unknown in
this country Now it is very general AS
long ago as 1881 a committee of the Califor-
MIA Legislature presented a report, in which
they said:
The extent to which poisonous adulteraiion
appears to be carried on in the United States
is such that it would hardly be an ex9ggera-
ton to say that murder had become one
of the commonest incidents of trade and
manufacture. Nothing can be more horrible
than the cold indifference 10 consequences
with which manufacturers OF all kinds APP
pear to employ deadly and nOxiOus mater
ias. We are forced to conclude that there
are in this country thousands upon thou
sands of men who are perfectly willing to
spread death and disease broadcast over the
community If in doing they can make
a little larger profit. Swindling, cheating,
substituting bad and sham for good and
genuine materials, are methods so usual as
to be almost the rule. Authorizations enter
into almost everything that is eaten or that
is drunk and disease and death go hand in
hand with adulteration everywhere.
Those who are best informed concerning
the extent of the evil are least hkely to re-
gard this as too strong a statement. What
is true in California is true in other States,
and the evil is greater now than it was when
the above was written. 1t is not confined to
| this country Most European countries have
had laws on the subject for a long time.
That of Great Britain was passed nearly
! hfty years ago.
As long ago as 1877 the report of the Cana
/ dian commissioners of inland revenue stated
that out of $50 specimens of groceries ninety
three were found by analysis TO be adulter-
ated The variety Of these authorizations is
only eQualed by their ingenuity, the aim

in one walk in life against others by ap-
peals to prejudice has had its day in In
diana. The fight for cheap dollars was
made mainly by appealing to farmers. wage
earners and people Of small means gener-
ally to vote against the bankers and the
British money combine On that appeal
the Bryanites were beaten by the votes Of
the men to whom they appealed. The Won
der is that after that experience the dera-
gogues in both parties should not have
learned that such pleas are no longer eff
fective. The people have learned the diff
ference between reason and appeals to
prejudice. Those speakers in the House
who assai reputable citizens in connection
with township reform by appealing to class
prejudice have made a mistake.

FACTS FOR MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE.

Are the members of the House ready to
join one of their number who declared
that he desired to let the laws affecting
township government remain as they are?
Are they going on record to the effect that
the law shall put no check upon township
trustees? Do they desire that these officials
shall have wider discretion than the Pres
ident of the United States? AS the laws
now stand the township trustee who cannot
be reelected can impose whatever tax he
sees fit upon the people-how many mem
bers of the House desire to go on record in
favor of continuance of such an indie
feasible system? Are they going to stand
by a system under which township taxation
for special school levies ranges from three
to fifty cents on each 500? Do members of
a Legislature elected upon a pledge to re-
form township and county government pro-
pose to repudate party pledges and permit
system to continue which enables one
township trustee to levy fifty cents on each
500 for roads. while another finds five or ten
cents ample?
The statistics furnished by the trustees
themselves show that scores of them levy
taxes that are unnecessary simply that they
may have the peoples money to spend.
There are scores of such trustees, and when
the report of the state statistician is placed
before the members they will see figures
showing that trustees have assessed twice
and even three times as much money as
they have expended. Cases are on record
where trustees began the year with more
money in their pockets belonging to town
ships than they expended during the year,
and yet they went on and made new levy.
1t is probable that the amount of unex-
pended balances in the hands of trustees in
this State at the close of the last fiscal year
aggregated several million dollars Is there
a member Of the Legislature who wishes to
go on record as a protector of this legalized
robbery?
Again, the compensation of township
trustees is fixed by a system which per-
mits great injustice In Clark county the
average compensation of trustees is $685. to
each trustee; in Vermillion county it is $685.
in Elkhart, $162.5O; in Warren $2SSSO; in
Washington, $16725; in Lake $4O1.51; in
Dubois, $2@1.75; in Perry, S455; in Morgan,
$315.75; in Montgomery, $780, in Franklin,
$256.SS; in owen $198.77; in ST. Joseph, $2S7.SS;
in Vanderburg, $61Z25; in Upton, $519.66; in
Jasper. $226.46; in Posey, 1886 20; in Koscius-
Ike, $255SS; in Howard, 1927 .6S; in Clinton,
$500; in Huntington, S267O6; in Hamilton,
$3.50; in Orange, 1921. 70; in Clay, $45672 Is a
system which permits such inequalities to
be Endorsed by a majority of the House?
Are those who are in conspiracy with sup
ply dealers to defraud the people to be en-
couraged to continue?
1t is not claimed that any considerable
part of the township trustees are dishonest
but it will be found that the long exist
ence of a vicious system has made many
careless, and it has caused many abuses to
become precedents with the force of law.
The time has come for change.

STEEL BRIDGE WRECKED.
Carried Away by the bursting of an
Ice Dam at Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 1S.--A costly steel
bridge crossing Kingsburg run and the
tracks of the Nickel-plate Railroad at Will
son avenue was wrecked this forenoon by
flood caused by the bursting of an ice dam
a. mile or more above the structure. The
disaster to the bridge has been pending for
three or four days. or ever since the dam
burst on last Sunday, after the heavy rains
of Friday night and Saturday The great
flood of water liberated came rushing down
the ravine to the culvert under the bridge.
There a dam formed and the water backed
up until many acres of the surrounding
fields were covered 1t was at first hoped
that the culvert could be opened and the
water let off in that way, but when the OBJ
struction was removed the torrent rushed
through with so much force that the founda-
tions of the bridge piers were undermined
one after another. Great sections of earth
some Of them twenty feet deep and seventy
five feet square, We're carried out and soon
the water was swirling about the abutments.
-Four of the piers were carried away in the
morning and at about 10 o clock fifth pier
went, carrying down with it a sixty-foot
span of the bridge. Two other shorter spans
were bent and twisted out of shape. For a
time it was feared that the Niclxel-plate
trestle. at the side of the run, would be car
red away also but this was saved by
prompt work on the part OF the otheials or
the company.
AS a result of the accident Wilson avenue
one of the great cross-town thoroughfares,
will be blocked for some time to all but
pedestrians The bridge was about three
hundred feet long. 1t was built jointly py
the city and the Nickel-plate Railroad, cost
about 800. 900 and was opened for traffic last
summer 1t will cost. it is estimated, about
81, 900 to repair the damage.
