There arc plenty to laud and crown with
Tho hero who falls in strife,
But few who offer word of praise
To the crownless hero of life
He does his duty and makes no claim;
And tonight ! propose q toast
To the silent martyr unknown to fame,
1he man who dies at his post.

JOhn Wanamaker Says There Is
Nothing Else in Philadelphia.
NEW YORK, Nov 1s.-The World will
print the letter signed oy John D. Wan
amaker, dated Philadelphia, Nov. ID;
1.-The recent revolutions connected with
the elections of Philadelphia ought to i'm
press thoughtful citizens the whole coun-
try over Of the urgent necessity for bal
lot reform. By ballot reform, 1 mean
such legal enactments and legislation as
will make the ballot first, quiet and,
therefore, absolutely free; second, such
devices, whether mechanical or otherwise,
as will make a true account and return
of the votes legally cast as near as may
be an absolute certainty. This, it seems
to me, is the desideratum of modern pol
itics in this country.
Political freedom and equality are Sc
cured by constitutional and statutory
enactments, and the only thing needful
is an electoral system, which will enable
the free men of the country to cast their
votes without intimidation and coer-
clon, and to have their will thus freely
ez pressed, honestly recorded and re-
turned
In Philadelphia we have not had an
honest election for many years, and the
debauchery of the ballot has acquired the
system and precision of a science with the

ing to their perfection In fraudulent arts
and extOlled and honored the leadership
which best knows how to devise and avail
itself of corrupt practices and protect and
promote its debauched tools and disciples.
'Of course 1t would have been impossi-
BILE for the dominant machine in this city

POISONING THE PEOPLE

The pure food investigation now going
on by a congressional committee will, the
Globe hopes, be followed by good re-
suits in some one or other direction.
The American nation Is fast becoming
a nation of dyspeptics. The fault, Of
from their own barbarous disregard Of
the ordinary rules Of true dietetic regula-
ton They gulp their food rather than
eat it. In this way they are the authors
of much Of their own distress; but when
the national habit in this regard Is con-
sidered in connection with the almost
universal adulteration of food, the won
der is that the effects are not more pail

Prof Hart, one of the witnesses ex-
amined before the committee a few days
ago, made a somewhat remarkable state
ment when he declared that white bread,
being denuded of certain elements of nu-
triton natural to the wheat, created a

beverages. Whether he Is right or
wrong the world has come to recognize
the truth that beers and wines in a
state of purity are essential to, or at
least promotive of, the healthful opera
ton Of the principle Of secretion
We are a beer and whisky-drinking ma
ton. We are reasonably certain so to
remain. In the face of the wonderful
consumption of those drinks which pre-
walls among us the federal government
nor those Of the states do nothing what
ever to protect the people from the in
furious results of adulteration. While
European governments take the best pre-
cautions against the poisoning of their

which are intended for home consump-
ton. Imported beer is usually aduI-
terated, and the belief that prevails
among Americans that the imported beer
is free from poison is foolish. In it's
report Of 1887 the department of agri-
culture showed that six bottles Of i'm
ported beer out of twenty-six contained
salicylic acid, and that one out Of two
bottles of so called Kaiser beer. bot
tied in Bremen, also contained the poison.
Ten grains of this dangerous poison Is
the least quantity per gallon that is avail

fertilization, as the process SENS to BE-
called in the trade. The same report
showed the result of the analysis of sew
enty samples of American wine to be
that eighteen of them contained the poi

Of Mr.. Schwartz, made yesterday before
the committee, that half ounce of SAIL
cylic acid to the barrel of beer is the
usual measure in which the drug is used
by native brewers in the beer which they
prepare for export, is true
In this matter of the adulteration Of
alcoholic drinks there is one course for
our internal revenue authorities to pur-
sue, If the people are to be protected.
and that Is to adopt the German fashion
of destroying all beer and other liquor
which is found adulterated. To each
package of liquor the government stamp
of purity should be attached. and any
