Paris, May, 1900.-''French children
are allowed to grow W on the street,
which is one of the serious evils and
errors, to my mind, of their rearing"
That is what an American woman said
as she sat under the horse chestnut
trees of the Champs Elysees, watching
scores Of youngsters at play.

ton" she went on. with smile, but,
I suppose, because I've got q flock Of
babies of my own at home in the
states, and because I've read such a

French population, I give a good deal
Of my time to watching the Partisan
child. Perhaps I I'm prejudiced or par
tial, but my conclusion is that young
France is not nearly so sturdy of limb,
rosy, self-reliant strong-iunged and
frank OF manner as young America.
There is plenty of beauty among the
babies, dainty coIoring, too, with grace
and charm. but after the baby days are
gone the girls grow up lean and pale:
the boys have none of the making of

Politics and Principle.

Il am as good a republican as the
senator from Wisconsin," said Sena-
tor Hale, of Maine, replying to a
taunt from Senator Spooner, of Wis
consin, in the course of last Wednes-
DAYS debate on the Cuban frauds,
''but do not recognize any party o. b.
legation that compels me to consent
to the proposition that everything has
gone right in Cuba"
Mr.. Hale had just been accused of
using democratic arguments because
he had dared to remind the Mckinley
administration of its solemn duty to
fulfill the American pledge for the ma
tional independence of Cuba, because
he had ventured to deplore the con-
tinued military occupation of the ISL
and by this government, and because
he had unqualifedly condemned the
official fraud, speculation, cheating,
appropriation of revenues, stealing,
carnival in every direction of corrup-
ton and fraud" now prevailing in
Cuba. 1t was for this that Senator
Spooner attempted to read him out of
the republican party.
And it is to imperial prescription
of this nature, declares the St. Louis
Republic with much logic, THAT Sena-
tor Hale and all other republicans
who oppose the looting of our prov
inces' must make up their minds to
submit. 1t is variation of the cries
of treason and traitor that were
hurled at all Americans who were so
bold as to lift their voices against i'm
perialism when that Roman policy
was first advocated by American en-
pire-plotters. The Mckinley admin
istration has formally declared for
empire, the first fruits of empire have
been corruption in our 'dependen.
cies'-it is the determination of the
president and his followers to dis
credit and to crush every republican
who shall dare to cry out in protest.
1T is for men like Senator Hale and
his few republican allies in the senate
to determine whether they shall be
party-lashed into silence and submit is
sion at the sacrifice of their convic-
tons as Americans. The president
and such henchmen as Spooner are
forcing the issue. The result should
not be entirely what they now seem
to expect

ConsumptfOn.

Pulmonary tuberculosis is not con-
tagious, but only a communicable dis
ease. The contact per Sc of the con-
sumptive individual does not convey
the disease. 1t is now well known that
it is mainly the tuberculosis eXpectora-
ton, which, when dried and pulverized
to dust, constitutes the main danger of
infection. The means to prevent infec-
ton from tuberculosis eXpectoration or
saliva-expectorating only in proper
vessels, spittoons and pocket TASKS,
proper use of handkerchiefs during
coughing, etc.-are now also universal
ly taught.
1t is absolutely demonstrated that
tuberculosis patient, if he takes proper
care of his eXpectoration. does not con-
stitute any danger to his fellow men.
In sanatOria and hospitals exclusively
devoted to the care of consumptives it
is of the rarest occurrence for an at
tendant to contract the disease, the
hygienic precautions being so thor
ough. 1t may indeed be said that in
these houses for consumptives one is
less liable to contract consumption than
outside of them.-Dr. S. A. knopf in
Forum.

Some Facts.

An American citizen with an in
come of 800, 900 does not eat, nor
wear. nor use a hundred times as
much of articles taxed as the aver
age man with an income of $1,000.
The people with small incomes, there
fore, paw. as a rule. larger percent
age of their incomes to support the
federal government than people with
large incomes. The same is true of
internal revenue taxes collected upon
liquors and tobaccos. Men do not
use liquor and tobacco in proportion
to their incomes. Thus it will be
seen that our federal taxes are, in eff
feet, an income tax; not only an in
come tax. but a graded income tax,
and heaviest, in proportion, upon the
smallest incomes.
If we could supply a part of our
necessary revenues from direct in
come tax the burdens of a large army
would be more equitably borne; but
according to the republican policy of
taxation the income of an individual
is more sacred than the individual,
because the citizen can be drafted in
time of danger. while his income is
protected from taxation both in peace
and war.

MEDICAL DEPARTMENT FREE.
The British Medical Institute Offers Three
Months Services Free to All Iuvalids
Who Call at Its ONCE, No.
1902 Second Avenue.


A staff of eminent physicians and
surgeons from the British Medical in
stitute have, at the urgent solicitation
of large number of patients under
their treatment in this vicinity, estab-
lished a permanent branch of the in
stitute in this city at No. 1902 Second
avenue.
These eminent gentlemen have de-
cided to give their services entirely
free for three months (medicine ex-
cepted) to all invalids who may call
upon them for treatment between now
and May 80. These services consist
not only of consultation, examination
and advice, but also of all minor sur
gical operations.
The object in pursuing this course
is to become rapidly and personally
acquainted with the sick and the af-
ficted, and, under no condition what
ever will any charges be made for any
services rendered for three months to
all who call before May 80. =
The doctors treat all forms of dis
ease and deformities, and guarantee a
cure in every case they undertake. At
the first interview a thorough exami-
nation is made, and, if incurable, you
are frankly and kindly told so; also
advised against spending your money
for useless treatment.
Male and female weakness, catarrh
and catarrhal deafness, also rupture,
goitre, cancer, varicocele, and all dis
eases of the rectum, are positively
cured by their new treatment.
DIR. Z. Valentine Heaton, the chief
surgeon of the institute,

from the Occur d'Alene investigation
held in Washington, said:

likely there will be two reports. The
vote in the committee was repeatedly
drawn on party lines. do not care
to express any positive opinions. 1t
is possible Mr.. Mckinley may be
cleared of all responsibility and Gen.
Merriam shOuldered with the entire
blame. In my remarks / undertook
to show that the law holds the high
est military official responsible for all
acts committed under military law,
and therefore the general must stand
the brunt of criticism for the permit
system, which is absolutely illegal.
Blanket warrants, practically let

own authority. Men were arrested
for working without permits on their
own property. and one man testified
that he lost a valuable claim because
of his arrest. This property was

The permit system is invalid. The
same thing was attempted during the
reconstruction period and found to be
unconstitutional"

CHOCOLATE FiENDS.
There Are Those who Become Slaves
to This Nerve Soothing Food.

1.-THE manufacture OF chocolate" said
J. z. Anso Of Brazil, sis a great indus
try. OF all the chocolate beans import
ed into the United States two-thirds go
to one firm in Boston, and the other
third is distributed among the other
manufacturers. The chocolates sold
are of various grades The Caracas
chocolate is supposed to be the best.
eff you take the various grades, tech
nically known as the Caracas, the
French, the German and so on. and
take piece of each and place them in
Il pan of water and allow them TO dis
solve, any expert will tell you which is
the best chocolate The better grades
will leave no sediment. The others
will This is explained by the fact
that in the cheaper grades the shell is
ground up and used as n filler The
lighter the chocolate the better the
grade. The cheaper grades are dark
owing to the ground up shell.
1T is a queer thing about chocolate
consumption. There are chocolate
fiends, just as there arc opium fiends,
tobacco slaves and liquor slaves

begin to eat chocolate the habit grows

course the cheaper grades of chocolate
have large percentage of sugar in
them, and sugar is To certain ex-
tent injurious, but for the chocolate
