 So great is the anxiety of the Repuol.' can managers about the coming elections for members of Congress that they arc endeavoring to induce the President to lend them a helping hand. What they are most, anxious the President should do is to aid them in raising money for their campaign expenses Today Chair mitte visited the White House and had d long talk with the President over the coming battle. As a result or his visit there were rumors that Mir. Roosevelt would enter the campaign. making tour of the country for the purpose of deilv- cring political speeches.

SUBSTITUTION IN DRUG STORES.
The Practice Robs the Manufacturer
 and Swindles the Public.
New York Journal.

New fork Journal.
 We again call attention to the dishonest practice of substituting an inferior article for that which is demanded, on the ground that the one substituted is just as good"
 The druggist who indulges in the game of substitution is open tY criticism from many points of view.
 In the first place he is ungratcful to tho men who manufacture. ana wno, through widespread publicity. promote the druggists business and profits.
 If a man spends hundreds of thousands Of dollars in advertising. and as result sends customers to druggist IL IS eE- tremely ungrateful as well as dishonest for the druggist to prevent the normal sale and for the sake of few extra pennies to substitute an inferior article.
 Substitution is dishonest toward the public The druggist is asked for cer- lain remedy or other well known and val uable article.
 He replies that he has something else just as good or better and often adds:
 T make this myself and know Just what it contains
 As a matter of fact. he rarely or never makes 1t himself he does not k-ow what it contains. He simply patr"nizes one or the numerous concerns that mako ouS- ness of putting on the market cheap sub stitutes to deceive the public.
 If druggist offers you something just ss good" you may he sure that he has not very niRn islIIon oi N'uI bi'V ut7 gence or of your importance. He does not tell his hest customers what what, thc! want to buy, he does mt tell them that they don't know what they want He takes good care to give thsm just what they ask for. because he wants io keep their custom.
 For those whom he considers inferior or transient customers he reserves his phrase about something Just as good that he makes himself.
 If you ask druggist for certain ar ticIe and he offers you something clso just as good. toll him that you know what you. want. and that. you will pat ronize a drug store that glNcs you credit for ordinary intelligence:
 You might ask the clerk who wants voH to take something just as good wheth,, CT he will accept button In place of the half dollar owing him. on the ground that the button is just as good, and that you know personally what it con tains.

rHuRsDAY, MAY go, 1902.
A FAULTY ASSURANCE.

wonder has been frequently expressed that the citizens of St. Pierre should have had no warning of the great disaster which overwhelmed them. but The Butte Mont.) lnter-Mountain states that there recently arrived in New York Danish ship which brought copy of procia- nation issued on May :, the day before the eruption, assuring the people that there was no danger. The paper adds:
 This proclamation was based on the in- vesfigations made by commission of scientific men who had been appointed by the government for that purpose, and. if the facts warranted, to quiet the fears of the inhabitants of St. Pierre, who were watching the threatening volcano with
 much alarm. The proclamation bore the sienature of Governor Mouette. The com mission visited the volcano and made careful study of the phenomena observed there.
 If this statement is correct, it shows how little Is really known about volcanoes and how little can be predicted. Not only the Governor who issued the proclama- ton, and all his family. perished. but the members of the commission were all caught and lost their lives. It may be that the men who made the investigation were not of the highest type of scientists. but they must certainly have been men of Reformation about such matters or they would not have ben selected by the authorities to make an investigation in- volving the safety and welfare of all the people of the town.
 1he truth is that with all the advance ln science and knowledge there Is very little known about volcanoes. axcept what can be learned after an eruption. and this 1s of little value towards predicting another. There seems to be no means of fcreteiling when there will be an out break, or how suddenly it may occur There is much to be learned about them and probably much to be unlearned be- fore 1t will be possible to foretell an erup- ton or to fix a date when it may be ex- pected.

The Other Woman.

The woman sat by the window, her fsce se white. and still. and rigid as that or the mai blc statue that looked at ner from amidst the silken drapery of the opposite wall. All day she had sat there, the spiend0r of life about her. the deso- lation of death within her soul From time to time soft footed servant came noieeieseiy to the door, but there was that about the tragic figure that forbade speech and he crept silently away.
 And % the hours passed, and the wo- man sttn sat at the window. the one dread dread fact beating in on her n,imbed band-the man she loved-the man she had married in spite of friend aud foe. She had defied her world wher she had chosen htm. He was poor. and obscure, deserted wife, a divorce and people had not scrupicd to hint to her that he was marrying her for her money.
 She had laughed at their warnings. His magnetism thrilled her. For the rest. she had rcjoiced that she had had so much to sgive. and that she could make his life soft and beautiful. Wealth them all upon him with an unstiuted hand. and now the bitterness was that he had gone where her tenderness could not follow him.

FROM A NORTHERN VIEW.

In a recent editorial on the subject Of "The Negros Place." The Minneapolis Journal takes a more than usually fair and conservative view of the question, viewed from Northern standpoint. From that editorial we take somewhat lengthy extract, as 1t relates to both social and industrial conditions. The Journal says:
 It is right here that there is a marked difference between the Northern and Southern point of view. The calm and unpre ejudiced Northern student of the question has, broad sympathy for the Southern whites and appreciates the difficulties of their situation confronted by numerous, undisciplined, untrained and largely non-moral. inferior race. He knows full we'll that if he were in the South he would not permit the reins of government to he given into the hands of such people He realizes that social equality between the two races is a dream. for the social relation Is one of taste and choice. and he realizes that racial dislike will never permit the races to meet on terms of social equality. But he does not like to have 1t said that a man. because he is a negro, shall not en- joy certain activities which are at the same time freely offered to any white man, because he is white. As he be- lieves in human progress. he holds that man should do those things for which he is it. He does not believe that it is wise to attempt to hold whole race to inferior or mcnisl services. Doubtless for generations to come those services will be rendered in the South by negroes. because they are incapable of doing better things. But the negro who hy Latural gift or by training, or by happy com bination of both. is worthy If higher offices. should not have the road 10 them barred by the higher race. That is helotsm. that is caste. and both those systems breed dssenslon and strife when they are imposed and not accepted.

Recently Congressman Deliver though he made good point when he said:

he made good point when he said: The Congress of the United States is more likely to cede back the valley of the Mississippi to the lawful heirs of Napoleon, the Great. than to leave the Philippine archipelago to become the prey of anarchy or the prize of some Euro pean power.
 A Congressman simply makes himself ridiculous when he talks such rot as that, and doubtless Deliver knows it. Con- Eress has no more power or authority to ..cede back the States formed out of the territory included in the Louisiana purchase than it has to dispose of any or all of the original thirteen States and of course 1t is not going to do il or try to do it. Whether our government shall retain the Philippines or surrender them Is another question, and one to be decided hereafter, but it's decision certainly can not depend on any such rot as Deliver got of.
