PROSPERITY SUBSIDIES.

The spectacle OF from 1000 to 5000
people blocking the street in front of a
New York department store last week
to apply for 200 or 300 positions is de-
cidedly instructive. says the Salt Lake
Herald, and asks: Has the East en-
tered upon a period Of depression. that
there should be such a clamor for small
places? 1t would seem 30, for surely if
New York's workers were happily and
steadily employed such a mob as that
described in the dispatches would
hardly have been possible.
Employees often change their positions
for little reason and for no reason, but
they do not change in such large bodies
as that reported. The truth is that
many working people in the East are
suffering the pinch Of poverty. Numer-
Gus mills and factories have CT wages
materially, others are curtailing their
output, which means the same thing,
and some are closing altogether. The fact
that this is a Presidential year accounts
for some Of the depression. but not for
all Of it. Has the prosperity wave re-
ceded entirely?
Another notable feature of the situa-
ton lies in the fact that the cost of hv-
ing does not decrease. On the contrary,
all the n-ecessaries of life cost more
money every day. The purchasing
power of a dollar is not as great by 10
OF 90 per cent to-day as it was a year or
two ago. If wages continue to go
down and prices to 20 up where will
the working people end? There must
be an adjustment, and that very shortly,
or great suffering cannot be avoided.

Canadian Town Swept by Fire.

Toronto, Ontario, April 20.-The fire
that ragged throughout the night and
up to an early hour to-day in Toronto's
wholesale and retail business district
was the most disastrous in the history
Of the city. The total loss is conser.
vatively estimated between five and six
million dollars. The principal ware
houses Of the city were reduced to ashes
and nearly $50 firms were put out of
business. The area covered by the fire
is three blocks in length and varies from
half a block to two blocks in width.
LATER-The total loss by the Toronto
fire is now estimated at twelve million
dollars, with eight millions insurance.
The fire covered fourteen acres, and five
thousand persons are thrown out of
employment.

This is Worth Keeping.

A few years ago when the dreaded
diphtheria was raging in England, avery
simple and rapid remedy for it was. it
is said, discovered by the celebrated
DR.. Field. He put a teaspoonful of -four
birthstone into q wine glass of water
and stirred it with his finger instead Of
a spoon. as the sulphur does readily
amalgamate with water. When the sui
phur was well mixed, he gave it as a
gargle, and in ten minutes the patient
was out of danger. Birthstone kills all
species of fungus in man, beast and
plant IN q few minutes. Instead Of
splitting out the gargle, he recommended
the swallowing Of it. In extreme cases,
in which he had been called just in the
nick of time. when the fungus was too
nearly closed to allow the gargle, be
blew the sulphur through a quill into
the throat, after the fungus had shrunk
enough to allow it, then the gargling.
He never lost a patient from diphtheria.
In cases where good medical aid is not
at hand this simple remedy should Ger.
tainly be tried.

FOLK FOR

There is encouragement for all be-
levers in good government in the race
being made by Joseph W. Folk Of st.
Louis for the Democratic nomination
for Governor of Missouri. Mr.. Folk is
the District Attorney who has become
famous for his prosecutions Of the bood-
lers in st. Louis and elsewhere about
the State Of Missouri. He has permit
ted no influence, and plenty of strong
influence was exerted, to swerve him a
hairs breath from the line of duty he
laid out for himself. And the great
people Of Missouri are with him. That
much is made plain by the returns from
the Democratic County Conventions.
One after another has instructed its
delegates for Folk.

NATIONAL PURE FOOD BILL.

The whole country follows with in
terest the progress Of Mr.. Hepburn's
fight for a National Pure Food Bill.
The demand is a simple one. 1t goes no
further than to itsist that every article
sold for food or as a drug shall be pre-
cisely what it claims to be. 1t does not
debar from sale the thousand and one
substitutes, many of them harmless,
which have been provided for staple
articles, but it insists that every such
substitute shall cease to masquerade
under a false name, and that it shall sail
under its own colors. The principle of
this measure is that Of simply honesty
and it would seem that there ought to
be no objection to it. But when it is
remembered how large a proportion of
the industry Of the country. and in the
aggregate how large an amount of capital
is invested in the making of imitation
goods of one kind or another, it is not SO
surprising that the opposing fight is a
bitter one. Whether Mr.. Hepburn will
carry his point during the present ses-
sion of Congress is very doubtful /; the
progress has not been rapid up to this
time and the end of the session is not
very far distant, and it is very likely
that the measure will be carried over to
next year. But Mr.. Hepburn's pro-
posals gain force with time. They have
only to be understood to be approved,
and every discussion either in Congress
or out of it tends to strengthen a move
ment which in the end is bound to sue
coed, for the good reason that it is right.

.An,rAsY PULLMAN sLEEPERs.

II is said that the Pullman Palace Car
Company is about to introduce a sleeper
which, from q sanitary standpoint, will
be considerable Improvement over that
hitherto used on the railroads of the
country. The new standard is severely
plain and is devoid of all scroll and grill
work. The upholstery of the a has
been reduced materially and all the
angles possible have been taken from
the car. Imported mohair has been
adopted as a standard curtain and the
entire design of the decoration and
furnishing is planned with a view to
minimizing the work Of cleaning the car
and preventing the Judgment of germs.

WILL DEMOCRATIC PARTY
BE ON the FENCE

In 1896 and in 1900, the Democratic
party had something to say. aud said it
in unmistakable terms. says the Sacra-
mento Bee. In 1904. it looks as though
the same party would be sad. silent. and
dark on the vital issues o. four:and eight
years ago, and would treat even the
questions Of to-day with kid gloves
1t seems from private advices received
By the Bee, that the currency question
will be left severely alone. if the party
does not urn turtle on its principles
in two Bryan campaigns The belief is
the Democrats will put forth no vital
issue, but will harp on the alleged ex-
travagance and corruption Of the Re
publican administration, and on the
usurpation of authority by the President,
and that it will steer clear Of saying
anything that would In any way offend
the Trusts.
In others words, the ''safe and sane"
Democracy will scheme to so frame the
platform as to induce the s~yndicated
capital Of the country to aid the ticket
as a measure of revenge against Roose
welt.
If that game shall succeed, the earnest,
conscientious independent voters of this
country who were for Bryan in 1896 and
1900 viii be for Roosevelt in this year Of

NEW YORK FOR PARKER.
Unit Rule Adopted-Tammanv Waged
Intellectual Opposition.

Albany, New York, April 1S.-The
Democratic State Convention for the
election of delegates to the National
Convention selected the following dele
gates-at-large
David B. Hill of Albany. Edward
Murphy, Jr.. Of Troy, George Ehrel Of
New York City and James W. Ridge
way of Brooklyn. As alternates it
selected c. n. BuIger Of Oswego. W. Q.
Ely of Buffalo, c. A. Alderman Of
Bronze and Francis B. Harrison of New
York.
The delegates were instructed by a
vote of 30l to 149 for Judge Alton B.
Parker as the States candidate for
President.
Tammany was not treated as badly as
predicted, being allowed George Ehrel,
delegate-at-large, with F. B. Harrison,
alternate, and two or more district
delegates.
The platform, as adopted, is brief.
and in addition to instructing for Judge
Parker, compels the delegation to vote
as a unit.
An Intellectual effort was made by
Tammany leaders to have an unin-
strncted delegation sent to st. Louis.
Senator Grady offered a minority
amendment to the platform. He made
a strong speech for its adoption, and
was followed by Congressman Bourke
Cochran. but Senator Hill had his con-
servatives too well organized to pay at
tention to the opposition, and the plat
form as reported by the majority of the
committee, instructing delegates to vote
for Parker, was adopted.

Why Alexieff Resigned.

The immediate cause Of Viceroy
Alexieff's resignation is reported to
be the appointment of Vice
Admiral Skyrdloff, one of Admiral
Alexieff's strongest enemies and sharp
est critics, as successor to the late Vice
Admiral Makarof, in command Of the
Russian navy in the Far East. Skry-
dloff has not hesitated in talking to his
friends charging Alexief with respon-
sibility for the disasters to the Pacific
squadron by his division of the feet,
which segregated four armored cruisers
at Vladivostok and stationed the Va
RAG and Korietz at Chemulpo.
On the eve of the war Alexieff appar-
emily had the confidence of the Gar,
but the lack of preparedness of the Port
Arthur feet as shown in the cases of
the battleships Retvizan and Czarevitch
called the attention of the Emperor to
the s~lackness of the naval administra-
ton in the Far East. The anti Alexieff
party in st. Petersburg held that Vice
Admiral Stark, who was the Viceroy's
representative, was responsible under
him for the first reverse at Port Arthur.
Viceroy Alexieff recommended the ap-
pointment of either Vice-Ad niral Du-
basoff or Vice. Admiral Makaroff to
command the fleet in succession to Vice.
Admiral Stark. The Emperor selected
Makaroff and at the same time issued a
special ukase making him absolutely in
dependent. This was the first blow
publicly given Alexieff. The second
was the appointment of General Kurop-
atkin as Commander-in-Ch Chief of the
army in Manchuria. That there might
be no doubt of Kuropatkin's exact juris-
d~iction, the Emperor issued another
ukase. defining it. and gave the former
Minister Of War complete control Of
military operations in the Far East.
When the Petropavlovsk was sunk
Alexief started from Mukden for Port
Arthur. ~telegraphing to the Emperor on
his arrival there that he had hoisted his
flag on the battleship Sevastopol, and
would direct the operations of the feet
until a new Commander was sent out.
1t is said that no answer to this was
sent by the Emperor. Without CON-
sulting Alexieff's wishes and without
considering Admiral Dubasoff, whom
he had originally recommended, the
Emperor telegraphed Vice-Admiral
S~krydloff to proceed to Port Arthur via
st. Petersburg and assume command of
the feet. 1t is said that not even thi g
fact was communicated to Alexieff, and
he was allowed to learn Of it through
the press dispatches. Alexief consi-
dered the matter for three days, at the
end of which he is said to lave reached
a decision to apply for leave. By his
withdrawal from the Far East he will
not only lose the digniied position of
direct representative Of the Emperor,
but the salary of $50, 900 and an allow.
ance of s25. 200 per year.
