Accented Plea of Ignorance.

The fight made for years past by the
District Health Department, through
Chemist Hird, on the sale of fadulterated
food in the District received an unex-
pected setback in the Police Court last
Tuesday when Judge Taylor, who IS
presiding in the absence OF Judge
Kimball, accepted the personal bonds
of eight dealers on their plea that they
did not know the food products sold by
them were not pure. This same excuse
has been offered in every prosecution of
this kind, and tue Judges OF the Police
Court have invariably informed the
retail dealers that 1t was their duty to
secure from the wholesalers a certificate
that the goods they purchased were
pure and that ignorance on the part OF
the retailer would not be accepted as an
excuse except where such a certificate
could be produced and the responsibility
for the sale of adulterated food placed
directly upon the wholesaler.
The parties on trial were charged
with selling aduIterated mustard, cream
,Of tartar and butter. These are the
most widely adulterated food products
in the market, and hundreds of Wash
ington grocers have been fined for sell
dng the impure articles. Those fined
in previous prosecutions nearly all
pleaded that they supposed the article
they sold was pure.

A Gathering of Noise.

The Afro-American Council, which
met he,e for five days last week, was
composed of between 800 and 400
delegates from twenty eight States in
the Union--bishops, ,clergymen lawyers,
educators and otiers-supposed to be
the foremost colored men OF the country.

in demonstrating the incaPacity OF their
leaders not only to guide but to govern
themselves. From the moment the
council was called to order. says the
Washington Correspondence Chicago
Record, until the moment 1t adjourned
it was the scene of continual and dis
graceful disorder. Every delegate
seemed to have the same purpose,
which was to make as much noise and
confusion as possible, and the most OF
them were remarkably successful. The
disturbances were so frequent and con-
fusing that three.fourths Of the pro-
gTamme was not carried out, and the
only tangible result Of the convention
was an address to the public which was
prepared in advance. II required an
entire day to get a vote upon the adOP-
lion OF this address. The first roll call
took two hours, its accuracy was djsput,
ed and for a time it looked as ifthe whole
convention would have to be arrested

Virginia's Claims

Representative Swanson. OF Virginia,
proposes to introduce a bill authorizing
payment to Governor Hoge Tyler OF
about $4,000. the sum advanced from the
contingent fund Of the State for expenses
Of equipping the Virginia volunte ers in
the war with Spain. AS previously told
the vouchers for these expenses were
held up by the Comptroller Of the Treas
urv.Iwho decided that the amount should
be applied in payment Of bond to amount
Of about Ssooooo, which the State Of
Virginia sold to the.Government some
wears ago. When Virginia repudiated
her State debt some years ago these
bonds we're expressly exempted, but
neither the principal nor the interest for
recent years has been paid.

IMPORTATION FOR BREWERS
AND OTHERS.
The War Tax On Beer.

The report Of the remarks made by
Mr.. H. II. Rueter, of Boston, before the
recent Brewers Conference in New
York, having been inaccurate, we take
pleasure in placing before our readers
a correct version Of what Mr.. Rueter
said on that occasion, as follows:
ITO the beer consuming public the
question of relief from the excessive tax
on their habitual drink should surely be
of much interest. Eventually the con-
sumner must pay the tax, and the danger
for him is that, If the present unproft'
able state OF the brewing business and OF
the retail trade goes on unrelieved, the
tax will have to come out of the quality
OF the beer he drinks. No one would re-
gret such state of affairs more than the
brewers themselves, as they fully realize
the fact that only through the good
quality of their product they can secure
and maintain for it the popular favor in
which it stands at present.
THE war which made necessary the
levying OF the internal revenue tax on
maltliquors, so long and so ouncomplain-
ingly paid by the brewers, was a loyal
peoples struggle TO keep the Union
whole, destroy slavery and maintain the
Constitution The war with Spain, now
ended, was undertaken against the calm
er judgment OF a verV large portion OF
the people, probably against the inner
most convictions of President Mckinley,
on informstion which has since proved
unreliable, for humanitarian aims thus
far disappointing in their results, IN re-
sponse to the cry Remember the
Maine, and for political ends.
Unless the Government finds itself
compelled by dire necessity to draw to
the fullest extent upon all other sources
of revenue that contributed to its needs
under the internal revenue system of
1867, the continuance Of the double beer
tax is an injustice to the brewing
industry, amounting to persecution, an
injustice which Congress ought to
terminate at once. II the additional
dollar per barrel is hereafter exacted by
the Government. in order to enable it
to embark on a policy of territorial
expansion OF, to say the least, very
problematical wisdom, the brewers of
the United States feel that they are not
unpatriOtic in making this appeal to the
people and to Congress to relieve their
Industry of this crushing double war tax,
and to restore the original rate of one
dollar per barrel"

An Extra Session.

VIII there be an extra session. From
present appearances one can hardly be
avoided. More time is going to be con-
sumed in the consideration ofthe peace
treaty. than most people think 1t is not
poing through so smoothly as many
imagine. Seven weeks remain to the
present session, and in that time Con-
gress lis expected to pass the regular
appropriation bills, ratify the peace
treaty, pass the Nicaragua Canal bill,
the army reorganization DILL, fix up
scheme OF government for Hawaii, and
provide for the taking OF the Twelfth
census, not to mention halt a dozen
other matters of great Importance 1t

Moore for the recovery OF rebate of

hold that it became law at four o'clock

A Christian Scientist Proves Discrepancies
in Allegations by the Lecturer at the
Presbyterian Church Last
Evening.

To the Editor of The Daily Leader.
The lecturer last evening stated that
Mrs. Eddy in her book, Science and
Health, denied tae resurrection OF Jesus
Christ. Will you please print the fol.
lowing quotations from her book:
Human theories are inadequate to
interpret the principle underlying the
miracles wrought by Jesus, and especial
~ the mighty, crowning, and unparalleled
miracle Of his triumphant exit from the
flesh"
"The efficacy OF the cru~ciixion lies in
the practical affectation and goodness It
demonstrated for mankind. The Truth
had been living in their midst; but un.
til they Jaw it enabled their Master to
triumph over the grave, His " dis
siplee could not admit suoh n event to
be possible. Alter the resurrection,
aver the unbelieving Thomas Was forced
to acknowledge how complete was the
proof"
THAT Life is God. Jesus demonstra.
ted by his r~eappesrance after the cruel.
fix,on. in accordance with His scientific
statement, Though you destroy this
temple (body),, yet l (sp,rit) build II
again."
.Jesus' students, not sufficiently nd.
| vanoed to fully understand their Mas
ter's triumph, did not perform many
wonderful works until they saw Him
after His c%rucifixion, and learned tina,
| He had not died."
"Jesus could give His human life into
His enemies hands in appearance. and
to belief; but when His earth mission
was accomplished, His divine life, indie
structible and eternal, was found for
J ever the same"

two-thirds of the new judges, who are
