1t is becoming clearer every day that
Senators Platt and Depew misled the
President when they recommended the
nomination of John II. Hazel for judge
of the District Court at Buffalo. The
more Hazefs qualifications are examined
the more they fall short of what a judge
of the United States court should possess.

Senate committees report will be Of the
same tenor when one is made. Hazel
might make a good enough collector or
post master, but he evidently does not
possess the knowledge of the law or the
experience needed in n judge.

Corn and Candy.

During the fiscal year ended July 81,
1899, the consumption of corn for glu-
cose and its by-products amounted to
over 27,000,000 bushels, which is equiva-
lent to the whole yield from one million
acres, based on an average of 81 bushels
of corn to the acre. From one-thrd TO
one-fourth of the glucose product Of this
same year went directly into the manu-
facture of candy, according to State
ment which is made by one of the lead
ing authorities in the glucose trade. The
prosperity in the candy trade which is
directly responsible for such big part
of last years great consumption Of glu-
cose, and the absorption at good prices
of large portion OF the 1899 crop of the
corn growers of the West, was directly
due to the general prosperity. When
the mills are closed, and the workman
cannot fill his dinner pail with the nee
essarics OF life, candy is luxury for
which there is little demand. That cam
dy can now be eaten in the families of
workmen is one of the best evidences of
prosperity that there is.

Mai. Arlington U. Belts of Toledo,
Ohio, brave soldier now serving in the
Philippines, writes to friends in his home
city that the Tagal rebels in the islands
are constantly encouraged by men of the
Bryan stripe to continue killing our sol
diers, and that the rebellion there can be
suppressed most effectually by ballots
cast in the United States next November.
When the American troops took the
town OF Tobacco, in Luzon, they found
posters everywhere bearing a proclama-
ton, copy of which Mai. Belts sends
in his letter. Note we'll the following ex-
tract:

Z What People Are Saying. (

Candy is one of the luxuries. When
times are h and money scarce, we feel
it, l tell you we do. The last three or
four years show vast increase in our
business. There has been Improvement
each year over the preceding one, and
this year the prospects are that business
will be better than il has been for six
years. The general trade throughout the
United States in the last four years has
increased fully 80 per cent. In some
cases il has doubled, the increase being
specially noticeable in large establish
ments. This business is essentially an in
dicator of the moment. Supply equals
demand. We cannot store our goods
away in barns and warehouses and wait
for the market to rise or the trade to
come to us. Instead We are controlled
by the demands of the hour. Take the
chocolate trade alone. Americans are
only now beginning to awaken TO the nu-
tritive and delightful qualities OF good
chocolate and chocolate candies. Euro
peans have been familiar with this for
years. During the past year or two our
trade in this line has increased by
bounds until to-day half of our custom
ers call for chocolates. I am Demo-
crat. but am free to say that while con-
ditions exist as they do at the present
alone and make no chsnge.--C. +. Gun
ther of Chicago, ex-Alderman, Democrat,

Our business has been more prosperous
in the last three years than in the entire
previous history of the company. This is
true not only of Chicago, but elsewhere.
1t is chiefly due to two causes. Not only
has the telephone established itself as a
necessity TO business and private inter-
ests, but it is also owing to the pro-
nounced prosperity which has been gen
eral throughout the country. As | said,
the growth of the Chicago company in
these years has been equal to the entire
growth before that time. Personally
