TO FORESTALL THECOMBINE.
Mexican Government Will Prob

Mexico City, February lit is
remored here that the Mexican gov
erment has in contemplation the
admission of sugar from Cuba free
of duty in order to forestall the
operations of the combine that
recently purchased the entire
product of three Of the leading sugar
producing states of Southern Mex
leo. Since the deal was put through
by the combine, sugar has steadily
advanced in price, causing loud
complaints by consumers. 1t is
believed that ifthe price goes higher
the government will use its power
in behalf of the consumers and put
sugar on the free list, as it did when
it was found necessary to relieve
the shortage of wheat for bread
stuffs.

MEXICAN LIQUOR LAM

There Was Only One-ffth of the
Usual Number Of Arrests in
Capital City

Mexico City, Fec. 2.-The au-
thorities on receiving the reports to-
dav of the results of the first Sun
day closing of bar-rooms and all
drinking places for tine lower classes
were much gratifed. All bar
rooms and pulque shops were clos
ed sharply at noon Sunday and no
attempt was made in this city or
any Of the towns in the Federal dis
trict to evade the law. There were
10 rear doors or side entrances.
Foreigners resident here were sur
prised to find the law so universal
ly obeyed. The result on criminal
statistics was at once felt, their hav-
ing been only one-fifth of the usual
number Of arrests. This fact justi-
fies the law in the eyes Of all re-
spectacle and law-abiding people
and the Federal District Govern
ment is praised for its effective tenn
perance work. Tonight all bars
were closed at 9 o'clock.
The Federal District Government
has in contemplation other meas
ures for controlling the liquor
trade with a view to diminishing
the volume OF crime and misery.

It's rank foohshness to attempt
to remove sallowness or greasi-
ness of the skin by the use Of
cosmetics, or "local" treatment
as advocated by the "beauty
doctors. " The only safe and sure
way that a woman can improve
her complexion is BY purifying
and enrichiDg the blood, which
can only be accomplished by
keeping the liver healthy and
active. The liver is the seat of
disease and blood pollution.

rectly on the liver, cleanses and

The tariff fight Is coming on again;
and 1t is the duty of every newspaper
man to get a good understanding OF
the present system Of federal taxation
which affords a shelter for trusts, and
then say something about it In good,
plain words. This he should do not
only for his own benefit and behoof,
but also to promote the general well
fare. Unfortunately a great many
Wisconsin editors have long exalted
the protective system as the source
from which nearly all material bless

POINTS In POLITICS.

Ellis b. Usher thinks that Roosevelt
may share the fate of Arthur and fail
to receive the republican nomination.
Thefollowing are extracts from recent
correspondence hy Mr.. Usher in tho
Milwaukee journal:
"These election triumphs all point
to one possible purpose-tho oncour-
agemcnt OF democratic hopes, ut least
to the point whore Mr.. Rooseyelt's
position In the east may appear TO be
weakened.
MIR. llanuas victory was not all
personal rs his friend Col. Dick +,
would have II appear. II was proSa-
bly, assured by his opponents, but that
assurance became doubly sure when
Mr.. Bryan took the stump in Ohio for
Tom Johnson. The Germans of
Ohio made again emphatic their de-
termination that anything bearing the
Nebraskan's label will be buried out
of sight every time they get after II,
Chairman Babcock said, last year,
that Mr.. Bryan removed all doubts OF
republican success In the congressional
elections when he appeared ON the
stump In the east,

SOMETHING ABOUT FREIGHT RATES.

In his statement Of freight rates,
when he spoke at county fairs and
claimed that Iowa was much better Off
than Wisconsin, Governor LaFollette
neglected to tell the people that most
OF the business done In Wisconsin was
under either concentration or com
modify rates, which are much lower
than the Iowa schedule, and are par
ticularly favorable for agricultural
products.

wanted to concentrate 10000 pounds

tration, aud you have total expense
OF $S7.37 for getting your cheese to
market.
1t makes no difference what Gov
ernor Lat'ollette, or any other man
may say, the above are true figures OF
the actual expense, and they show a
saving OF 1898 to the Wisconsin
shipper who may want to send cheese
to market.
