we are in still in receipt Of ample reve-
nue.; having conducted an expensive
war inaugurated four years ago, we
have paid all of its cost and still find
the national treasury today richer by
$33,000,000 than 1t was before the war
began We believe 1t to be the dictate
OF wisdom to let well enough alone
and not to imperil business interests
by any suggestion of present interfer-
ence with revenue legislation.
While we owe deep sense OF graft
tude to the soldiers and sailors who
fought to preserve the Union and re-
commend now, as ever, just and lib
eral pensions to those who were wound
ed, as well as to the families Of those
who gave up their lives in the service,
we also commend the gallantry and
self-sacrifice Of the younger generation
OF soldiers and sailors who served in
the war with Spain and who are now
engaged in maintaining the authority
Of their country in the Philippines.
The same fair treatment that the Re-
publican party has always insisted
upon for men of the Grand Army OF
the Republic is commended with equal
force and sincerity to the partici-
pants in our more recent wars.
FIGHT ON COMBINES UPHELD.
We heartily approve the action of
the president OF the United States
through his attorney general in insti-
tuting proceedings to check the growth
Of unlawful combinations intended to
raise the price OF commodities at the
expense of the consumer, and we re-
commend that similar action be taken
in all cases where the people are op-
pressed by trusts or combinations
through the illegal manipulation Of fue
or food supplies.

Stammering Prisoner.

Judge Pimbrick, Of Arizona, while
visiting New Yorker few weeks
ago, relates an amusing experience
which he had in his younger days when
presiding over q police court in south
western town. His story is something
like this:
One morning an Irish policeman
brought q man named Sisson up
for trial. The man suffered, and
when asked his name, he stammered
out, "S-s-s-s-s-sis.' and then gave it
up.
Again I asked his name. "S.s-s-s-
Sis" the same futile attempt.
After few more efforts to obtain
his name, which called forth more
''sisses," I turned impatientiy to the
policeman and asked; "What is this
prisoner charged with, oficer?"
II don't know for certain, yer
honor" he replied, his eyes twink
ling, "but I suppose it must be soda

Counterfeit Foods.

Senator McCumpcr, Of North Da-
kota, is making strenuous efforts to
secure pure food legislation that will
be practical ana effective.
There is on the Senate calendar a
bill introduced oy him which is one Of
the hest measured of the kind yet Of
fered. 1t has received the hearty en-
dorsement of a great part of the press
OF the country and its passage is re-
commended by number of societies
and organizations, which should have
large influence. In one Of his speech
es in advocacy Of this measure Sena.
tor McCumber expressed his surprise
that while our law against counterfeit
ing money is SO severe and so thor
oughlY enforced, thousands of persons
are couuterfeitiug food products Of al
most every kind with absolute impu-
nifty, and are permitted to work off
their impure, and often dangerous,
stuff in increasing quantities in every
section of the country
The reports Of the Federal and State
officials who have looked into the
matter of food adultcrations show such
articles are consumed TO an extent
that will surprise those who have never
studied tie subject.
Some Of the States have laws in.
tended to prevent the adulteration of
articles of food aud drink, but we have
as yet neither State nor Federal laws
which can be called effective to any
marked degree for the suppression Of
the impure food traffic, but the de-
mand for such legislation is growing
so fast that we may expect to see Q
decided reform in this respect before
long. g.-Atlanta Journal.
