A report of the proceedings says that
when the
amendment was called up Mr.
Pettigrew desired the clerk to read an
account of the Santiago campaign from
history of the Spanish war from the
pen of the most eminent of modern
historians
"'Who is the author?' some one
asked.
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, ,
responded Mr.. Pettigrew.
"a general laugh, in which Mr.. Lodge
joined, followed"
A significant part of Senator Lodges

senators, and then voted to make the
man he had so thoroughly condemned q

The vote of Senator Lodge in this case
illustrates the Indifference of senators to
their own personal opinions or convic

to the influence of the administration
The Shafter promotion amendment was
distinctively an administration measure,
and even so morally pretentious sena-

It is very exhilarating to read that
Bryan, Towne and Dubois are to renew
the democratic party. The first has
never supported democratic candidate

evil to be enuured for the purpose of

neither good trade nor good dollar. If

dollar coined in it's mints being worth

The answering devotion of the re.
publican party to political purity in the
expulsion of Senator Clark is emphasized
by the election of the Hon. Mat. Quay
of Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania bears
the proud record of the most purely re.
publican state in the Union. The purity
of it's republicanism is untainted by a
trace of democracy. AS Protestants love
to point to Spain as an examplar of
Catholicism unfettered and the Catholics
dote upon Scotland as an exponent of
Calvinism. so can we turn to Pennsyl-
vania and learn the beauties of political
purity of the pure and unadulterated
republican vintage. Even the prayers
of the sanity Wanamaker, with his
Monday bargain of cabinet position,
could not prevail against St. Matthew
of the Quay.

ARSENIC EATERS.

Persons Able to Take Enormous
Doses Without Fatal Effect.
From Science Gossip.
White arsenic is the form in which
arsenic is eaten by the peasants of
Styria and the Tyrol Prof Schall-
grueber of Graetz was the first to
call attention to this practice. in a
report which he made in 1922 to the
Austrian government on the cause OF
the numerous deaths from arsenic
poisoning in those districts. He
found that arsenic was kept IN most
of the houses in Upper Syria under
the name of "hydrach." evidently
corruption of 'huttenrauch," or fur
mace smoke. His statements were
subsequently confirmed from personal
observation by a DR.. Michigan of
Edinburgh, but for many years after
ward the arsenic eaters were gen
orally disbelieved in, as 1t was not
till 1860 that C. Heisch published
convincing evidence.
Arsenic is principally eaten by
hunters and woodcutters with the OBJ
iect OF warding of fatigue and inn
proving their staying powers. Ow-
ing to the fact that the sale OF arsen-
ic is illegal in Austria without a doc
tors certificate 1T is difficult to OBJ
tain definite information OF a habit
which is kept as secret as possible.
According to a DR.. Lorenzo. in that
district the arsenic is taken fasting
usually in a cup of coffee. the first
dose being minute, but increased day
by day until it sometimes amounts to
the enormous dose of twelve or fif-
teen grains. He found that the ar
senic eaters were usually long lived,
thugh liable to sudden death They
have fresh, youthful appearance and
are seldom attacked by infectious
diseases. After the first dose the
usual symptoms of light arsenic poi
soning are evident, but these soon
disappear on continuing the treat
ment
In the arsenic factories In Salzberg
| il is stated that workmen who are
not arsenic eaters soon succumb to
the fumes. The manager OF one of
these works informed Mr.. Heisch that
he had been medically advised to eat
arsenic before taking up his position.
He considered that no one should be-
gin the practice before twelve years
old nor after thirty, and that in any
case after fifty years of age the daily
dose should be gradually reduced.
since otherwise sudden death would
ensue. II a confirmed arsenic eater
suddenly attempts to do altogether
without the drug he Immediately sue
cumbs TO the effects of arsenic poi
soniRg The only way to obviate this
is gradually to acclimatize the system
by reducing the dose from day TO day.
As further evidence of the cumulative
properties of arsenic it is interesting
TO note that when the graveyards
in Upper Syria are opened the bo-
/ dies of the arsenic eaters can be dis
tinguished by their almost perfect
state OF preservation, due to the gra-
dually accumulated arsenic.

A contemporary says that Hawai-
ian oranges are not in demand on
the mainland because they are. COM
paratively. an inferior fruit. OF
course they are inferior because no
attention has been paid to their cul-
tivation. The only oranges raised m
Hawaii at present are seedlings OF the
poorest varieties. Let the people OF
these Islands cultivate the Washington

cause OF their superior quality and
flavor We have every condition here
in soil and climate to produce the
finest oranges in the world.
Because the shipping OF certain
fruits. notably pineapples and bana-
mas, did not pay when Hawaii was an
Independent nation and there was
consequent duty on sll shipments to
