In all cases being To cheaper the article
without regard to whether the adulteration
is injurious to health or not A manufac-
turer or dealer who is dishonest enough to
adulterate his goods does not care whether
he nelson's people or not.
Several of the States have long had laws
on the subject, and others are agitating the
matter. Massachusetts, New York. New
Jersey and Illinois enacted pure-food laws
as early as 1881. and other States have done
so since The Illinois law which is based
on the British statute, applies to liquids as
well as solids, and provides that no person
shall mix any food or drink with any in
gredient so as to render the article injurious
to health or to depreciate its value, and that
no person shall offer such articles of adult
terated food or drink for sale, that no in
gradients, even when not OF harmful char
| acter, shall be incorporated in any article
| of food or drink unless the true name of the
ingredients shall be stamped upon the pack
age, or unless the purchaser shall be in
formed by the seller of the true name of
such ingredients. The penalties for violation
of the law are very severe. bill on the
subject will be introduced in our Legisla-
ture at the present session, and it should
receive careful consideration. Any law on
the subject should include drinks as well as
food, and probably medicines also, as repu-
table physicians say that lives are some
| times lost through the adulteration of drugs
A great deal of the whisky and much of
the wine and beer sold in Indiana is adulter-
ated. If a law is passed on the subject the
| health board or some other authority should
| have ample power. TO enforce it. A case oc-
since, in which a rich and prosperous wine
| dealer was found to be selling adulterated
wines. His whole stock was confscated,
the heads of his barrels knocked in, flooding
his cellar and the gutter in front of his
place, and he was sentenced to ten years
imprisonment and disfranchised for life
That is the way European governments
treat what they regard as a crime against
society.

The daily news from Cuba is of the most

4 sTRANoR MULTIPLICATION.

About ten days since the Journal. without
giving the name of the county, made the
statement that its commissioners drew $500
or more as compensation the last fiscal
year. There was some comment upon the
statement which led the commissioners Of
Tippecanoe county to infer that allusion
was made to them. Thereupon the auditor
of that county sent the Journal a statement
under his SEAL showing that the commits
sioners were paid during the last fiscal year
as follows: Commissioners, $1,095.50; audit
ing board, $3.50; gravel road directors.
81, 246; total 81, 1885, Upon this certified state
ment the Journal made full retraction.
Knowing that the figures originally pub
lished came from the state statistician, his
attention was called to the apparent dis
crepancy. Thereupon Captain Conner pro-
duced the original return made to his office
by the same county auditor in effect, eX-
cept that it was attested by his deputy In
the return to the statistician the compensa-
ton of the county commissioners is given
as Sc, 5000 for the last fiscal year, and those
figures will appear in the report of the
Bureau of Statistics, already in type
The Journal simply calls attention to this
discrepancy in the statements of the same
officer to show that it had authority for it's
original statement and that it promptly re-
tracted upon the certified statement of the
county auditor
In this connection it may be stated that
the Lafayette Courier. severely reproved the
Journal for rec1lessness and righteousness
in making the original statement, with sun
dry remarks as to the duty of a newspaper
to the public in reference to statements at
fecting the honor and integrity of officials.
The Journal is not aware that the Courier
published it's correction upon the reception
of the auditors statement, but now that it
is certain that the former statement was
made from an official return made to the
state statistician it may be able to inform
the public how the mistake was made in the
Office of the auditor of Tippecanoe county.
Or if the Courier cannot explain perhaps the
auditor or his deputy can.

The address of Senator-elect Beveridge to
the Legislature yesterday was worthy of the
occasion. 1t is the expression of a man in
the presence of great responsibility. More
than his words, the bearing of Mr.. Bever-
idge. when speaking, was that of man who
realized the great honor, and, above all, the
great responsibility which had come to him.
There is no tone of triumph in his words,
far less was there in his bearing anything
of personal elation. There are sentences in
his speech which are full of instruction. mo
class has a monopoly of citizenship" is one
of them, but more timely, and more to be
held in remembrance, are his words de-
fining the phrase, "Vox popul, vox Del"
Those sentences need not be quoted here.
that they should be read and reread An
other thought which ran through the adj
dress is nationality. The United States is
a Nation, not living for to-day, but for the
centuries to come The American people
are the propagandsts not the misers of lib
erty," is a sentence to be remembered, for in
it is the answer to those who believe that
it is unsafe Tor the American people to take
a part in the work of uplifting humanity.
If, in this address. Mr.. Beveridge has stated
the truths which he viii champion, and the
rules of his public conduct. he will honor the
State as one of its senators.

twice through the heart and Shaw five
times through the head and body. Both had

The St Louis Post-Dispatch asks if the
President believes in the doctrines of the
Declaration of Independence in regard to
the consent of the governed. One may
ask If the Post-Dispatch had that doctrine
in view when it approved the disfranchise-
ment of majority of the voters in Mssis-
sippi South Carolina and other States by
constitutional amendments not submitted to
the people for ratification?

The Journal would fail in it's duty of fairly
representing the sentiment of this commun-
ity if it permitted to go anchallenged the
attack made Under the protection afforded
by state laws to members of the Legislature
upon the character of William Fortune,
president of the State Board of Commerce.
The statements of Mr. Reser in the House
en- Tuesday were evidently based upon mis-
information. Indianapolis people are IA
miliar with the controversy that shortened
the life of the late Eli Lilly, and suffice it
to say that the courts have thus far sus-
tanned the action of Colonel Lilly and his
committee in voting compensation to Mr..
Fortune To say that Mr.. Fortune stole
or diverted public funds is not only alb
surd, but cruelty slanderous. On the con-
trary he is a man who has rendered public
service of the highest order without cher
ishing thought Of public office, and has
time and again proved himself highly val
liable to the community.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1899-01-19

On Tuesday. while Mr.. Reser was attack
ing the local government reform bill, he was
interrupted by such questions as IF the
members of the commission are to draw up
the laws, why are they not members of the
House?" A fair rejoinder would be IF mem
bers of the House can draw up better BILL
why don't they do it?" 1t would be a great
mistake for members of the House to as
sumo that they monopoize all the lawmak-
ing wisdom of the State. There are a num-
Der of bright and able men in the House, but
there are also some outside. There has been
a good deal of talk in recent years in favor
of the initiative and referendum in legisla-
ton. This means the right of the people to
originate measures and to ratify or reject
such as are passed by their representatives.
The Legislature must not forget the people.

Commissioner General Peck wants Con-

Old residents of Wisconsin recall the fact
that in 1855 the late Mr.. Dingley, then quite

The failure of the doorkeepers of the
House to provide seats for the members of
the Senate and to keep them for the oc-
cuparcy of the members of that body at
yesterdays joint session was ineXcusabIe.
The members of the Senate were there not
out of curiosity, but as a necessary part of
the proceedings, in accordance with the
Constitution and the law The election of
a United States senator should be attend
ed with all the dignity that the occasion
demands, and the spectacle afforded by
one-half of the members of one branch of
the legislative body by which it was con-
Quoted scrambling about for standing room
in one corner of the chamber was by no
means compatible with the requirements
of good order and decorum. There is no
disposition to criticise the public for usurp-
ing the space that should have been re-
served for the senator's, for they very natur-
ally took the places allowed them. The
fault lies with those officers of the House
whose duty it was to see that the affair
was properly conducted.
