On first reading, the statement Of Dr..
Wiley. chief chemist of the department
of agriculture. that fully 90 per cent.
of the articles of food and drink manu-
featured and used in this country are
frauds" must strike the reader as
alarming in the highest degree: but a
calm analysis of the Doctors state
ment, like his analysis of the articles
III question. serves to restore conf
dence. 1t seems there are adulterants
and adulterants, and some of them are
harmful while others are harmless
and some actually beneficial Nearly
all of those specified in the published
abstract of the experts testimony be-
long to the two latter classes. Beer is
largely counterfeited, while coffee and
spices are mixed with injurious or inert
substances, though to how great an
extent is not stated. but most Of the
other adulterants are wholesome. and
none is reported to be absolutely
poisonous. So our stomachs do not
suffer. however the case may be with
our pockets and We need have few
approximations on hygienic grounds.

The only piece of good news which
the Bryanites have received in the past
three years has just come. 1t is the
report that the winter wheat crop in
the West has been damaged by the
cold weather to such an extent that
there is likely to be a falling off of
about $4,000, 900 bushels on the basis Of
an average crop. This is causing JOY
in the Bryanite camp. The advent Of
an epidemic of Asiatic cholera or the
occurrence Of an earthquake or any
other calamity would also arouse de-
light among them. But the Bryanites
are whooping too early. 1t viii be very
easy to make up for the failure in The
winter wheat by the planting Of an
extra acreage of spring wheat.

THE WIRE TRUST.

Editor of The Sunday Spy:
The Washburn & Moen Manufacturing,
Company, which has recently entered into
consolidation with the American Steel and
Wire Company, has been identified with
the life and development of Worcester al
most from the infancy of the city. From
the smallest proportions it has gradually
expanded into its present mammoth con-
dition, and the city of Worcester grew
with and in a large measure is dependent
upon it for its prosperity. The impending
change of management and ownership
may involve the substitution of different
methods and the application of the busi
ness principles of concentration and CEN
tralization. Whether these prospective
changes may or may not be an advantage
to Worcester it is too early even to guess
with any degree of accuracy. One thing
is certain--these foreign purchasers will
not be impelled by any patriotic motives
toward Worcester,
Undoubtedly the business will be con-

Mr.. Griggs Speaks on Final
Ratification of Peace.

Washington, Feb. 4.-The House to-
day passed the military academy APP
preparation bill, carrying S6O1 SIT. It
served as g. text for a speech by Mr..
Griggs of Georgia, on the president s
suggestion that the government care
for the graves of the confederate dead.
After 8 o'clock the House devoted it's
attention to eulogistio speeches on
Thomas Benton and Frank z. Blair,
whose statues have been presented by
Missouri for erection in Statuary hall.
In the discussion on the military
academy bill, Mr.. Griggs took up the
presidents recent utterances as to gov
eminent care for confederate graves.
He referred to the devotion of south
ern men to the country, from the days
OF Appomattox to those. of Santiago
Later therefore he urged to the con-
slant reiteration of RECOMMENDATION be-
tween the sections. That the reconsoli-
dation had long ago been accomplished
and with the new general convention
of the south, there was no need of rec
onciliation, as there has been no sep
aration.
We accept the words of the pres
ident in good faith" said Mr.. Griggs,
but we insist that this shall be the
last reconciliation of the sections. Let
this be the final ratification of the
treaty of peace between the north
and SOUTH"

NOT FAR DISTANT,
Inc settlement of the EIectroIytc Ma
rine Saltser's Matter.

Boston, Feb. AT a meeting of the
committee for stockholders of the Elec-
trolytic Marine Salts Company, today
Winslow Warren made an oral state
ment in the nature of report of prog
ress, to the effect that of the 10000 900
shares of stock which We're originally
Issued about 1854, 900 worth was sold.
The balance stood in the name of
Rev. p. F. Jernegan. This balance has
been turned over to the committee, and
probably Will be cancelled Of the
stock actually sold, more than 5000. 900
has been turned over to the committee
with instructions to represent the hold
ers in making the best possible settle
ment. With reference to the $50 900
said to have been returned by Jerne-
gan, Mr.. Warren said the company
were not bound to settle on that basis
He admitted that the committee desires
to get as much as the stock pledged to
them as possible. in order to speak with
the fullest authority when treating,
with Jernegan through his counsel. He
said that he had every reason to be-
lieve that the time for the final settle
ment was not far distant.
The report of the expert appointed to
investigate the process of extracting,
gold from sea water, has not yet been
received
