CANAL GRAB MUST BE BEATEN.

Commenting on the forthcoming
Morris Canal STEAL" the Paterson
Press remarks:
"The scheme Is to obtain legislation
permitting the present owners of the
canal to abandon 1t for transportation
purposes. If this were all there might
be little objection to the proposition.
But 1t Is not all. The owners Of the
csnal do not propose to turn the rights
and franchises granted them by the
state back to the state. They expect
70 dispose of them to other interests
for their own benefit. These fran
cs1ises are of enormous value. They
were granted by the state solely in
consideration of the benefits to be de-
rived by the people from the canal as
great highway of commerce. The use
Of the canal as such highway has
been languishing for many years, and
It may almost be said to be already
practically abandoned as route of
transportation. To allow the canal
company to sell its franchises, especial
ly its water rights which are of in
calculable alue, to other parties, and
thus increase the already serious d.
version of water from the Passaic riv.

THOMAS sRAcKETT REED.

The Republicans Of New Jersey were
always friendly to Mr.. Reed, although
the delegation In the National Con

In the second P.tney campaign Mr.
Reed addressed the Republicans OF

From first to last Tom Reed kept a
aleeplessly vigilant guard over his rep
NATION. In all matters touching per
sonai integrity he avoided even the
appearance Of evil. He was out Of
reach of scandal, because he visibly
stood above suspicion. The political
opponents whom he sometimes dashed

OF mis-, and who hated and loved him
by turns, will be the first to testify
to Mr.. Reeds honesty.

ADuLTERAreo FOOD AND DRUGS.

Food stuffs and drugs sold through
out this state are adulterated to very
alarming extent, according to the an
nual report of the State Board OF
Health, now in the hands of the Gov
ernor. OF 1872 samples of drugs col
lected and analysed during the year
240 or go per cent, were found to be
below the standard of purity required
by the United States pharmacopeia
About fifty per cent. of the food stuffs
examined was found to be adulterated
Hamburger steaks collected from
butcher shops were found to be drug
ged with boracic acid. Other articles
drugged were olive oil, molasses and
syrups, mince meat, sausage and scrap
pie, cream of tartar, coffee, cocoa and
chocolate and mustard
The Investigations of milk and but
ter showed that these articles are now
being sold almost entirely in a pure

Chinese Bill Amended.

Washington-By an almost unani
nous vote the house committee on for
eign affairs has stricken out of the
,Mitchell-Kahn Chinese exclusion bill
the paragraph prohibiting ships flying
the American flag from employing Chi
nese sailors under $4,000 penalty for
each offense. This provision has
proved one of the chief sources of con
troversy over the bill. The senators
and representative from the Pacific
states regard this provision as most
important.
The main argument leading to strik.
ing out the provision was that Amer
lean ships on the Pacific coast com,
pete with English and Japanese lines
and that the latter ships would indi
rectly receive a great advantage in
continuing the employment of Chinese
az $3.50 per month, whereas the Amer
lean ships would have to pay about
$50 per month for white sailors.
Representative Kahn of California
has talked with Speaker Henderson
as to the exclusion bill when it. reaches
the house, and it is understood that
while Mr.. Kahn considers the sailor
clause most important, he will not in
sist upon it to the extent of jeopardiz.
ing the entire exclusion measure.
