Short Weight In Australia.
rom the Melbourne Times.

from the MeiD0urne Times.
The disclosures that have recently been
made of the serious extent to which the
public are made to suffer loss through the
lightweight methods adopted in supplying
many articles Of common consumption
should STIR up the community to insist on
preventive action 1t IS nothing short of
public scandal that people should be served
as at present. With short-weight allowances
of 50 many of the necessaries of life. to say
nothing Of the comforts and luxuries. The
deception. 1t is clear from the statements
published. Is very widely practiced. and. in
fact. has become general in certain
branches of trade. There Is either fraud on
the part Of the seller, pernicious Gus
tom of trade sanctioned by usage; and the
wholesale tampering with weights should be
sternly suppressed.
1t Is a matter of common knowledge that
in the supply of bread there are numerous
sellers who are guilty Of giving short
weight. and the list Of successful prosecu-
tons has been along one, but bread is only
one out of numerous articles in the pur-
chase OF which: the public pay for more
than they receive. apart altogether from
the question of quality AS the public ap-'
pear to have no legal protection they should
protect themselves by first making them
selves acquainted, as far as they can, with
the tricks Of the trade. and then insisting
in the light of their knowledge. on getting
full weight for their money. A fragrant
case Of injustice done to the public Is in the
sale OF lightweight candles.

Coffee,
From the New York Times.


Recent news from Brazil brings the IN
formation that the coffee producers of that
republic are contemplating the reduction
of the areas to be devoted to coffee plant
ing for the purpose of restricting the coffee
output and so securing a larger price for a
smaller crop. from which there may be a
more anxious demand. Whether that course
will. II adopted and persisted in raise the
price of Brazilian coffee in the United
States market. which Is the market to
which the greater. part of the coffee Of
Brazil finds its way, Is an experiment the
outcome Of which can only be ascertained
by a trial. The trial may also be aeeommo-
dated by some losses by diversion of the
trade to other countries that 1t may take
years to recover.
We get our Brazilian coffee cheaper than
that we take from other countries. For the
quantity imported during the fiscal year
ended June 30. 1903. reaching pretty well up
toward a billion pounds, we appear from
the government reports to have paid Brazil
at the average rate of So cents a pound. To
from that continent. not a large quantity,
we paid a little less-5.7 cents a pound. TO
other countries we paid various prices all
better than the price paid to Brazil The
average price per pound paid for coffee
from Mexico was cents: for that from
Central America the average price per
pound was cents, while for all the cofYee
we imported from the Netherlands. includ-
ing. presumably. our supply of Java coffee.
from Porto Rico. we paid at the rate of IL
cents pound. For all the coffee imported
from all countries We paid the average per
pound of 81 cents

ground Is twenty-five feet, including cap
itaI of three and half feet. MAJ. G. A.
Cunningham, R. E., c. S. l., director gen.

reported in 1868 that the total length Of the
pillar is upwards Of forty-eight feet, and
possibly sixty feet
The lower diameter is "a inches and the
upper diameter 1875 inches. The pillar con-
tains about eighty cubic feet Of metal and
weighs about seventeen tons. The metal
was for long time reputed to be bronze,
owing probably to a curious yellOWish
shade on the upper part. A sample from
near the base was analysed by DR. Murray
Thompson, and found to be pure malleabie
of course charcoal iron, made directly from
the ore in small billets. but how 1t was

an undivided sovereignty on the earth for a
long period. The date OF the inscription has
been referred to the third or fourth CEN

Living in California.
From the Los Angeles Times
Living In peaceful retirement In q palatial
hotel In San Diego IL Mrs. Robtsa Napier
Washburn. the widow of the late Israel
Washburn. r., who named the republican
party and was Maines war governor"
Mrs Washburn IL a lady Of stately Dig
nifty. yet is most affable and Is very pepu-
lar with those who know her. She is an
accomplished conversationalist. and pos
sesses a rich store of "reminiscences, having
enjoyed the acquaintance of such great men
as James G. Blaine. Thomas Bracket Reed
Nelson Dfngley. ex-Vics President Hannibal
Hamlin. Senator Eugene Hale and many
other notable men of the pine tree state. Of
whom she relates many anecdotes Of per-
sonal experience
but for the past fourteen years has lived In
California
To her deceased husband belongs the
honor of naming the republican party. Is
from Maine from 1851 to 1850 When he
was elected governor. and after the war
until hts death was collector OF the port at
Portland. Me. On May %. 1854, the pro-
slavery advocates passed the Kansas
Nebraska BILL. which was very obnoxious
to the free state men. of whom Mr. Wash
burn was leader, and on the night of its
passage he called q meeting Of the anti
slavery members Of Congress to meet with
him the next morning in the rooms Of Rep
resentatfves Elliott and Dickinson of the
Massachusetts, delegation. At that meeting
MT. Washburn showed to them the utter
utility of attempting legislation through
the whig and democratic parties and ad-
vocated the organization of a new party
with declaration Of principles along the
lines afterward followed by the republican
party. His earnest appeal bore fruit and
then and there the new party was launched.
When the question of name for the new
political organization came up there was
some difference of opinion, but, In the Ian
s,iage Of the bfographer Of Mr.. Washburn.
he said: The name republican is the most
proper and suggestive name and the least
Objectionable that could be adopted. 1t Is
name to couture with, honorable In it's
antecedents and history. and under 1t peo-
pie ever so much divided In their political
views on other and minor questions could
unite on footing Of perfect equality and
with no implied surrender of principles or
convictions
The idea was received with enthusiasm by
every member present except one. who was
not yet prepared to give UP the long cher
ished name Of whig.

From the Providence Journal
There are no women writer's among the

brash man. The only exception to this
statement which he will admit is Sappho
and no one knows much about her. Yet
there have been several women whose
work in literature seems likely to endure.
George Sand might pass one such and
Jane Austen as another. OF course. no
woman has reached the extreme pinnacle
with Shakespeare Goethe and Dante. But
who can tell what may happen when the
higher education has had its full chance!
