1t is officially announced that
D. B. Hill will be the next Demo
cratic candidate for the President
of the United States. On the sup
position that Hill receives the nomi-
nation he and President Roosevelt
will have a nice little scrap in New
York. Mr.. Bryan thinks, and says,
the next Democratic candidate
must be heartily in accord with
the Democratic platform of recent
years. He is not at all in favor of
giving those down east sound money
boilers any supremacy in the party.
He thinks great majority of the
party are in sympathy with the Kan
sas City platform, free silver and all.

February IS was the fifth anniver-
sary of the sinking of the Name and
the famous battfeship was suitably
remembered" by American resi-
dents of Havana as well as by
Cubans. The wreck of the Maine
still stands up in the harbor. About
a thousand Americans went out to
the wreck on ten steam vessels.
From the wreck were strung stream
ers of bunting and crepe. There
were several large floral wreaths, one
from the Cuban veterans, and flag
flew at halfmast. The ceremonies
opened with Chopin's funeral march
by the United States military band,
and were followed by the opening
address by w. A. Merchant, who in
troduced the Rev. Lowell c. Nc
Pherson, who gave prayer. Then
there was a dirge by the band, after
which Ernest Lee Conant delivered
an eloquent Grafton. General Emilio
Nunez, Governor of Havana prov
ince and president of the Associ-
alton of Cuban Veterans, spoke
feelingly in Spanish, saying that
this day would never pass unremem-
bered by the Cuban veterans. The
Maine martyrs, he said, were COM
panions at arms of the Cubans. The
band played "Nearer, My God, to
Thee" The Rev. Mcpherson then
gave the benediction, and the SER
vices closed.-Topeka Capital.

wholesome products as glucose and
oleomargarine, or placing any hind
erance on their manufacture or sale,
but it seems to be necessary to pro-
tect the people from the frauds of
adulteration.
If man wants to buy glucose
syrup because he likes it and be-
cause he can buy it cheap, he should
have right to do it, but he should
not be furnished glucose when he
buys Vermont maple and pays the
price. If a poor man wishes oleo-
margarine because it is cheaper
than butter, he should be allowed
to get it, but if another wants good
butter he should not be sold oleo-
margarine under the brand of choice
creamery. This discussion of food
authorizations will open the eyes of
many who keep tab on it and, we
hope, will result in some kind Of
law for the protection of the people.

Pure Foods.

The pure food bills IN Congress
are attracting great attention at
present and are being discussed
with considerable warmth on both
sides. 1t seems from these discus
sions that we poor mortals have but
slight ideas as to what we are eating.
1t seems the pure vanilla extracts
of the rich red color that our good
wives use for havoring is the doctor
ed article. That the genuine pure
extract has the color and appear
ance of right good quality of dish
water.
The baking powder, except our
own brand OF course, is composed
mainly of alum which is not con-
sidered very great assistant to di-
gestion. Then our Vermont maple
syrup is composed mostly Of glucose
and our butter is simply travesty
on the good, honest old COW. The
yeast powder is favored with am
monia and the basis of the baking
powder is pulverized rock. Olive
oil is made from the peanut and
many of our imported wines are
made from the California grape.
Our sugar is filled with sand, our
coffee with small rocks and our
spices with ground tan bark, and so
on through the list of manufactured
food. 1t seems to be about time
for Congress to take up the matter
and adopt some kind of stringent
laws covering these adulterations
and receptions. We do not believe

Wages in 1892 and 1902.

In 1892 many of the wage earners
and the baser sort of employers were
found in combination to destroy the
Mckinley Tariff. The wages paid
in this country were then higher ana
more general than ever before
known, and the profits of its employ
ment were greater. The wage earn
ers wanted to down the bosses and
the bosses wanted to down the wages.
Both parties were gratifed with an
enthusiastic consciousness UNI
anticipated by either. When the
wages downed, and they were down
ed essentially, the employers, find
ing scant market for their products,
went down with them. When the
bosses were downed two men were
everywhere looking for one job. II
was predicted, and by some hoped,
hat wages would never again equal
those of 1902. But Commissioner
of Labor Wright says that the wages
now paid in the United States are
higher than in 1899. And many
jobs are now looking for two men.
In looking back over the last ten
years, with the want and panic of
Cleveland's ad ministration, no nee
essity for a cessation of prosperity
can be seen. 1t is true, as Free
Traders contend, that retrenchment
IN nearly all lines of production had
commenced before Cleveland's in
or even his election, but
the fear, if not certainty, that he
would be elected destroyed com
mercial confidence in our industrial
future, and it was only bankers and
Spectators who got out from under
the impending ruin and want. They
in general reaped a splendid har
vest, but the farmer and the wage
Garner had four or more lean years.
Without the destruction of conf
dence caused by the election OF
Cleveland and the Congressman
that went in with him there seems
no reason that our prosperity should
not have been continuous, and the
wages production and consumption
of the first years of this century
should not have been enjoyed
the last decade of the
last century.
Now the question of great interest
to all producers of value is: Are the
producers of water to have another
such opportunity as was afforded
the m by and at the election of Grow
er Observation-Disclosures.

Women's Democratic Club in
Brooklyn, Monday. The statement
was superfuous. Everybody knew
already that Mr.. Bryan would never,
never change any of his views. He
is not one of the changing sort. He
seems to have come into the world
with full set of "views," and never
to have altered one of them. If any
thing could have caused him to
"change his public opinions" he
would have changed them within
the last seven years. When he was
nominated for president, the bust
ness of the country was PROSTATE.
The ratio between silver and gold at
that time was 81 to I. Mr.. Bryan
declared that we could never have
good times again without adopting
free coinage, thereby, as he argued,
raising the ratio to I6 to 1. The
ratio is now about SO to I, and we
are having the best times any coun
try ever had, but Mr.. Bryan is still
spoutlng away for I6 tot. "Views"
that remain perfectly steadfast in
the face of such changes as these
evidently are unalterable. The mind
If their possessor appears to be pet
rlfed.
Perhaps there are few people in
the country who admire Mr.. Bryan's
consistency and pertinacity, even if
they ara exhibited in wrong and a
lost cause. But the man who de-
clares that he will not change his
views on public questions, regard
less of what takes place IN the world
about him, and who sticks to it, is
hardly a proper object for admira-
ton. The man who died few weeks
ago, after having never left his house
IN daytime for twenty-five years, be-
cause he had agreed not to do so if
he lost a wager on an election, show
ed Just as much wisdom. Every
citizen ought to study public ques-
tlons on their merits, and have we'll
defined opinions in regard to them.
But no man and especially no pro-
fessed statesman, ought to go to the
extreme of declaring that he will
never change his views. All sensi-
BILE men do change their minds more
or less.
Mems political opinions relate, or
should relate to the conditions which
exist in contemporary political and
business affairs; and since these con-
ditions are constantly altering, SEN
sible men will constantly be chang
ing their views regarding them.
Forty years ago and more, when the
market ratio between silver and gold
was IS to I, business men and states
men favored that ratio as the ratio
of coinage between the two metals.
But because that was the proper
coinage ratio then, 1t does not nee
essarily follow that it is the proper
one now, when the market ratio is
about so to 1. And even though
conditions were not constantly
changing, the possibility that he
might later discover that he had been
wrong should prevent man of sense
from resolving or saying that he
never would change his opinions.
The people of the United States
generally take much broader view
Of political questions than they for
nerly did. 1t is hopeful sign that
the number of those who boast that
hey vote their party ticket straight,

ter how much evidence is offered to
prove that they are wrong, has
grown comparatively small in the
land. This is one of the reasons why
narrow men like Mr.. Bryan do not

that a large trade would naturally

with the law, stated that he would
much prefer to close il the commiss-

facts are not mentioned with O. view
