The Nav York Herald, which recenllT
announced that it would support P,esi-
dent Mckinley for reelection. is not
advocating his cause in any half heart
ed manner. In a recent editorial it
takes for n text Abraham Lincoln's
quaint saying, Don't swap horses
while crossing a stream" and dilates
upon 1t US follows:

Dewey provided his political opponent,
Mr.. Mckinley. with crushing argu-
ment for reelection when he said: The

The greatest menace to the progress

Premier Salisbury set all England by
the ears last week by what some deem
understandable utterances, While 1t is
true. that the British prime minister
lives above the people, and is hardly
soeiable with his political associates.
that'does not account for his wholly un-
statesmanlike attitude. He appeared
to be entirely at sea and displayed n
woeful lack of judgment for one who
was supposed to be so well versed in the
arts OF diplomacy, His first break was
In the house Of lords where he virtually
paralyzed the Archbishop of canter-
bury, the bishops and the legislative
body by violently denouncing temper
ence legislation, and speaking against
temperance principles generally in a
spirit of Ieylty that would have only
been worthy of the most confirmed
topper.
Not content with this, he assailed the
whole principle of the prohibition Of
Sunday drinking, an accepted article in
the creed of both parties. He said: ~
have some sympathy with people who
want beer on Sundays. I don't drink
beer myself. but II did should want
1t as much on Sundays as on any other
day."
Continuing in this inexpllcable strain,
Salisbury struck the root of the whole
question of temperance reform. saying:
''You,wish to prevent certain number
Of people from getting drunk. therefore
you ask US to prevent six times as many
from an opportunity for that free In
dulEence to which they have a right"
To hear such words from the premier
Of Great Britain Is nothing short of as
founding, II a man used such language
in the American Congress he would be
suspected Of being under the influence
Of brewery syndlcates, and his political
career would end with such utterances.
HIS most astonishing break, however.
was his speech before the Primrose
League, during which he referred in the
most sighting terms to ireland, placing
the relation Of the Irish people to the
imperial government on the same foot
Ing as that of the Beers. This was not
only unnecessary at this time, but I'M
wise and foolish, especially when these
statements followed SO closely upon the
visit Of the queen to Ireland, and where
she was treated royalty and loyalty. His
unaccountable outbreaks have not been
explained on any reasonable grounds

a Parisian AFFAIR.

It would not be proper for a public
journal to advocate the forcible kissing
Of women in the streets by their admir-
ers, who have not gone through the for.
mality OF an introduction, but a recent
Amir in Paris shows that woman may
be sensible in spite of the handicap of
an attractive and Turing personality. 1t
appears that Cleo de Merode. the hand
some dancer. who visited America d
short time ago. while walking with an
escort in the most public thoroughfare
OF Paris, was suddenly grasped by a
ragged laborer and repeatedly kissed.
When her escort attempted to interfere
he was promptly knocked down by the
stalwart admlrer of the dancer, and the
police had some difficulty in landing
him in jail

hardly to the point, and GaspardIn now
languishes in Jail awaiting trial. 1t is

sensible action Of the lady who was

Business Situation.

The features in the business and
financial world the past week do not
show any material disturbance Of the
prosperity that the country has been
enjoying for the past twenty months 1t
is true that there is less activity In gen.
eral trade, but that is nothing more
than was expected after the big rush OF
the past six months. Besides unsettled
values are making buyers more eau
tious, The situation in general may b.
said to be sound and promising.
Henry Clews In his weekly circular
reviewing the conditions on Wall street
states that the most important feature
in the reactIonary movement In the
stock market was the setback given
the iron and steel stocks, which declined
owing to unfavorable reports OF the

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.


Divorce was made In heaven.
It's a funny thing how a woman will
always fix her glasses better Just be-
fore she begins 4 talk over the tele-
phone.
A woman can never resist n story
where the girl wakes up In the night
and finds handsome man, escaping
from Justice. in her room.
When a woman calls on another wo-
man and finds n man there and looks
mad. she has either got secret to tell
or else she likes the poor man.
No woman down in her heart believes
that she isn't really as good looking as
a photograph that she knows is n lot
better looking than she is.
A man is always afraid to try to get
4 girl to love him by acting nice to
her mother for fear she will fall In
love with him herself, and act mean

FOOD ADU1TERAT1oN ABROAD.
An Interesting Report Received
From Consul General Dubois.

From Consul General DUBOIS.
An interesting, and. in view Of the
prevailing tendency to adulterate and
debase the food supply Of the world, a
very timely treatise upon the extent
and methods of food adulteration in
Europe has been received at the state
department from Consul General Jas.
T. Dubois, at St. Gall, France.
The consul states that, in spite Of the
activity Of the authorities In endeavor-
ing to suppress the debasement Of the
food supply, the adulterators continue
to grow even holder, and extend their
depredatlons with discouraging rapid
Ity and success. A recent demand for
an increased supply OF chocolate, he
says, gave the adulterators their cue.
and at once there was pronounced In
crease in the sale Of mutton tallow,
low grade sugar, shells of the cacao
beans, saw-dust. potato meal and
ochers OF the desirable color. A scar
city In honey, too. has brought forth
n bogus product which defes detection
of all but the experts. Much OF the
wine produced has never contained n
drop OF grace Juice, and many Of the
liquors are far from the genuine artl-
Gle they are represented to be. Beer,
with a variety OF communicating ingre-
dents, bread of low grade and dan
gerously unhealthful flour; butter. coll

cheap, fatty substances; tea, whose
leaves. upon inspection. disclose guam
titles OF strawberry, linden and sage.
Cheese Is sometimes made Of potatoes
unit for market purposes, milk in all
qualities and all stages. and even some
times of tho blood from the slaughter
houses. These things are mentioned
as instances OF the deplorable debase-
ment of food and drink. AS to coffee,
Consul Dubois cleverly puts 1t that
should all Of the substances which pass
through o continental coffee-grinding
machine during year be written In
alphabetical order A would begin with
acorns and w would end It with
wormwood, sprouts Of which are some
times used to give the debased coffee

has not escaped, and, says the consul.
the proverbial pump Is not It's only
source Of increase. MS dllutions Of this
kind II apparent, and certain KINDS OF
soap are now used to cover this decep-
ton and restore the color.
In conclusion. Consul Dubois says:
THUS, Mt = time when American
meats and dried fruits arc having a
struggle for existence on the markets
OF Germany and Switzerland and some
other European countries, owing to the
unfounded and false ideas OF their un-
wholesomeness-ideas created by the
spirit OF competition alone-lt is not an
Inopportune time to call attention to
the we'll founded belief among the
breadwinners OF Europe that our meats
and fruits are cheaper and more whole
some and nourlshIng than tons OF other
food supplies. which they are purchas-
ing every day without thought OF pro-
test, and at prices high enough to sat
Isfy the most eager profit-taker in the
land"
