finds the person who actually adulterates
the milk 1t must assume that the dealer
who sells it to the consumer. or in whose
possession 1t is found, is responsible for its
ccEdition. If the dairymen in the country
are chemicalizing the milk to prevent sour
ing, and their patrons in the city are sys-
tematically fined to the extent of the law
for handling this line of goods, doubtless
in a very short time the traffic will cease
for the lack of patronage. Formaldehyde
renders the milk indigestible and seriously
affects the lining of the stomach. Milk, as
the court said today, is too large an item
in the dietary of the people to be tempered
with in any way. 1t is the duty of every
housekeeper whose suspicious are aroused
as to the quality of the milk supply to
secure an analysis which will test the re-
liability of the dairyman, and SO start in
motion the processes of the law to give
force to the statutes and to protect from
poisoning the people, and especially the
infants, of the city.

In 1896 the Kentucky democrats gave to
the Palmer and Buckner organization in
that state the name of the Mckinley Aid
Society" 1t was asserted that the real
object of the organization was to benefit
the republican ticket it ought to be asso-
ciated by name with that ticket. For the
same reason the Goebel democrats are now
calling the anti-Goebel organization the
Taylor Aid Society" Mr.. Taylor being the
name of the republican candidate for gov
ernor and certain to receive aid from the
democratic division.
Have we not here pointer as to the
proper name for the new national party of
Atkinson. Boutwell, & Co.? Should it not
be called the Aguinaldo Aid Society?
The name of Anti-Expansion League does
not fit. 1t is too late to oppose expansion.
which is an accomplished fact. Neither is
the name Anti-Imperialistic League, as
employed by some, well chosen.
Fighting Imperialism is not impressive
employment. The country will refuse to
get excited on that subject Expansion,
therefore. we already have. Imperialism
We are not in the least likely to have. But
as Aguinaldo is the chap whom these gen.
tlemen have uppermost in their thoughts.
and their object is to aid him, why not
ronjure boldly with his name?
All the clatter about Imperialism centers
In the Philippines. Cuba is a problem
apart. Porto Rico made resistance.
Hawaii held out her arms and asked to be
taken. But Aguinaldo resists. and the
transcendentalists around Boston are very
greatly impressed with his spirit. He fills
their eye. He appears to them as hero
of goodly proportions. and they are cheer
ing him on. But ii is to be doubted If even
they expect him to accomplish anything of
real value. STILL there is excitement in 1t
all for them. He is carrying the big end
of the stick. So it will only be fair-and
1t will testify to sort of molly-coddle
courage-if they come out plainly and by
fighting under his name make entirely plain
what they have in view The name pro-
posed is alliterative and easily spoken, and

as to what the members of the organization

Washington will undoubtedly send large

to Baltimore for transportation to Porto
Rico On the steamer which is soon to call
at the latter city for contributions. Thus
far the receipts have been small This re-
suit has probably been due, first to the
midsummer handicap, and second to the
failure of the people to understand that
they are invited to offer all sorts of ma
terials which might be of service in the
tempest-strcken island. well as money.
The official reports indicate that hundreds
of people. perhaps many thousands, are

Porto Rican climate. Such articles Will

Ctation for generosity and practical char
ity. Meanwhile. of course, the fund will be
swelled by the addition of sums given by
those who can most readily express their
sympathy for the sufferers in this form.
The two enterprises will progress together
Washington will receive due credit for the
amount it turns into the general fund, and
its charity boxes on the relief steamer will

Thomas B. Reed does not invite, but he
cannot avoid, the political speculation
which plays about his name. His retire.
ment from Congress will not end it, The
gossips have already discovered opportuni-
ties in his change of base to New York
w,Ich they are very certain man of his
gifts and ambition will improve to advan-
tage. They in him the inspiration and
the hope of a new political organization,
which is certain to cut figure in our af-
fairs in 1904, if indeed, rapid turn of the
wheel does not develop its usefulness in
time for 1900. They suggest and the more
adventurous predict, great things for the
next eight months, calculated to upset all
existing political alignments and force a
new deal all around. And they see in their
minds eye the figure of Mr.. Reed rising
out of the wreck in very commanding posi-
ton.
Those who are of this way of thinking
are under no restraint. They may figure
on the future to suit themselves. Occupa-
ton like that is seldom profitable, but it
may be made very interesting. Nineteen
hundred and four, in a political sense, is an
age away There have been such rapid turns
Of the wheel in the past fifteen years that no
che is safe in writing platforms nomi-
mating presidential candidates for a period
distant. Consider how many carefully
prepared booms went to pot in 1881, when
Mr. Cleveland, a rank outsider, won. Con-
slider the Bryan surprise of 1896. when the
neatly laid schemes of all the manipulators
went sadly agley. Who then shall say
what 1904 may present in the way of oppor-
tunity for some man no taller in the public
estimation now than were Mr.. Cleveland
and Mr.. Bryan when they won their spurs?
Speculation on this subject is of no more
Importance on one side than on the other.
But there seems some ground for supposing
that Mr.. Reed has retired from politics
permanently. He quits the field out of
touch with his party, and at a time when
his party needs all of its strong men to
help shape the new issues and direct the
battles in support of them. If the party
wins. the rewards will go to those who
have assisted in achieving victory. If the
party loses. it may remain for a long time
out of power, and Mr. Reed is sixty years
old
