Rev. Norman Fox is a preacher and also Mayor of Elizabethtown, N. J. In a recent paper he detailed the evils of in- temperance and in the most unmistakable language showed himself an advocate of temperance and good order. but in tho same paper he said:
 As clergyman and an advocate of temperance, I advise men not to drlnk, but I fail to see on what ground l can call on the law to forbid all drinking. This is a free country, ana that means that a man Is free to do foolish, even fatally foolish, things, free to squanoer his money and reduce himself to beggary' free to disorder his stomach with gut tony. free to commit suicide If he VIII do it gradually and quietly. But his right to drink carries with 1t a right to ouN4 which covers some mans right to sell And even when a man Is drinking so much that his eye Is bloodshot and wa terv, when there is no denying that ne does himself an injury, if he never be- comes really intoxicated, never becomes noisy and dangerous. never is guilty or 2 breach of the peace, do not see now tne law can interfere
 This was by way of reply to some over jealous refcrmers who had censurec him for not entirely suppressing the sale of liauors. notwithstanding the fact that such traffic is legalized by the laws oi that State. The Rev. Mayor has dis tinctiveIy level head.

THE CHARLESTON EXPOSITION.

+
 The staid old Charleston News and Courier resents the assertion of con temporary that there will be no midway feature at their exposition, and thus makes reply:
 No midway indeed! We will have the genuine article with a variety oI attraGo that will make all previous midwaNs comparable to punched nlckel' Nnhe our midway will be deliciously warm and entrancingly frisky. we can assure the public that it will offer nothing that will offend the most fastidious taste. Twenty enc acres of the exposition grounds have been reserved for this part ot the show. and nearly every foot of this large area has already been taken. There will he camels, elephants and gOndolas and wild Indians and buffalo, and congresses or Oriental beauties and dancing girls who have taken medals at all the great expo sitions. and restaurants and refreshments without end"
 That settles it. Twenty-one acres would make a fair-sized farm fin some localities. and the man who can't find enough warm attractions in a ramble over field more than 300 yards square, all devoted to char acteristic midway exhibits, would be hard to satisfy.
 But the South Carolina Interstate and west lnulan ILApOctli1hg NlbiNh opNHS aN Charleston December 1st and contin ues six months is to be something else than an exhibition of midway attractions. Its declared object is announced "to re- veal to the world the marvellous develop ment of the South in the last quarter or the nineteenth century. and to emphasize the importance of developing the rich commercial possibilities now open to the N1aa Auf and we are assured that it will carry out that object in a manner that will be both cred itable to Charleston and prohtable to all the South.
 It is going to be Pan-American in some respects, but will be more largely devoted to exhibits from the Southern States. and
 to show to all the world the vast re- sources of the South and the advantages of trade with this section. Especially
 will efforts be made to develop and in crease trade with the West Indies which l have of late become important factors in the commercial world. The trade of these | islands will he of vast importance to the ports and cities of the South, and the Charleston Exposition will be the means | of turning that trade to Southern ports. This exposition it must be borne ir
 mind, is due to the enterprise and liber- ality of Charleston. It gets no aid from l the general government but is to be backed and its expenses borne without Federal appropriations. That it will bc successful is hardly to be doubted. and | the Southern States. especially. should join hands with Charleston and Soutl | Carolina and make this a credit to the | country as well as the beginning of a new era in the trade and commerce oi this section. The world haj not yet learned the possibilities of the South. and
 all our people should welcome the oppor' ! tunity now presented of showing wha
 we have and what we can do.

A NEW FOOD PRODUCT.

Tn view of the constant predictions that the food supply of the world will event uaIly give out. it is pleasant to Know that substitutes or additions to our pres ent menu are continually being exploited. The latest, 90 far as applies to civilized people is ants. Among savages almost any sort of insect is used for food. put ants for others than savages is new proposition. A London paper assures us that they ''are now regarded as great delicacy and the only trouble is that there is not enough of them" and we can almost see and hear the eoitos smackine his lips over this addition to the civilized bill of fare
 Now, it is commonly accepted as a fact that human beings can cultivate or ac- ouire q taste for almost anything even good beer is not relished by some un' cultivated palates till they have been ed- ucated up to it. and 1t may be the same way with the formicidae. It may turn out that civilized man has failed to rec ognlze the fact that what has heretofore been looked on as nuisance Is really valuable and toothsome food product, and instead of planning to rid ourselves of them tho future may find us exerting all our ingenuity to increase the supply.
 It is said that in cold regions the ap- petite demands something sour. and as lemons and pickles are not always avail able recourse was had to ants. which have considerable acid in their compo- sition, and are said to form very good substitute for the continents usually found on a we'll filled table. The taste thus formed has been cultivated and ex- tended till ants are now claimed to be in demand, and it may not be a great while till "canned ants will be part of the stock of every grocer, and will be in demand for picnics and other outings where ready-prepared food is a neces- sity.
 One way of preparing ants for food, when a sufficient quantity has been col lected. is to first scald and then dry them thoroughly in the sun when they are ready for use. either in that condt- tion or made into such other dishes as the taste or the ingenuity of the COOK may suggest. They can become part or the regular bill of fare or come on with other parts of the dessert. If they De- come fashionable as food there will soon be q demand for them, and then we may expe,t the scientific and economic papers to favor us with learned disQuisiuons on the best varieties of them. How to raise ants for profit" will be common head line in the newspapers. and the cook books will add another chapter to their list of recipes. Who bids for ants?

Suppose the protection of the law should be entirely withheld from the per sens and property of all anarchists. how long would they. exist in the United States? And has any man the moral right to claim protection frAJn the laws of his country if he believes and teaches that both law and government are wrong? As a matter of fact every citizen is en- titled to the equal protection of the law. fart if that protection were entirely with drawn from the anarchists would they not be loudest in their complaints about the injustice done them?

Even The New York Tribune speaks of ex- President Cleveland's remarks on the death of President Mckinley as not being surpassed by any euicgy written or spok- en on that occasion. The truth Is. that there is hardly a man living who pos sesses the faculty of saving the right thing at the right time to greater ex- tent than Mir. Cleveland does. Not only that, but what he feels called on to say is always said in such way that no one can possibly mistake his meaning. The art of using words to hide meaning was never learned by him.
