FOOD ADuLrERAT1oN m ENGLAND.

The common idea that the people of Eu-
rope have better and purer food than we
receives q rude shock from United States
Consul Smythe. at Tunstall. England.
Some years ago q fearful epidemic
Of poisoning broke out which was traced
to arsenical contamination Of beer. This
forced the Government to make an exam
ination, and committee of scientific ex-
perts, Of which Lord Kelvin was the head,
found that all the beer was poisoned by
arsenic derived from sulphuric acid used in
making glucose, which enters extensively
into brewing. One great manufacturing
firm was forced into bankruptcy, and all
the brewers very much hurt. 1t was found
that enough arsenic entered into the manu-
facture Of glucose to kill 100000 people
week. In some instances as much as ABA
grains Of arsenic were found in q pound
of glucose, and from IL grains to three
grains in gallon of beer. This produced
in the drinkers q variety Of diseases which
carried them of with appalling rapidity. A
startling quantity Of arsenic was found In
the manufacture Of table sirups. Arsenic

the drying Of malt with gas coke. The in
tense interest developed by these revela-
tions compelled the Commission to widen
its scope, and it was found that pretty
nearly everything that the English ate was
adulterated, sometimes harmlessly, often
dangerously by coal-tar colors, and by
everything which would increase the bulk
or the attractiveness Of the articles offered
for sale. In brief, the people were eating
the contents Of drug store without know.

THE Democracy's first and vital need is
for a candidate and platform which will
pile up such big majorities in New York
and Chicago as will take New York and
Illinois. with their 66 votes, into the Demo-
cratic column. Beside this everything else
is subordinate.

JUDGE PARKER's worst disadvantage is
that d. B. Hill cannot sufficiently oblit-
crate himself. Hill is much more obnox-
ious to large part of the Democrats than
he is to the Republicans. They cannot en-
dure him, his ways, or the crowd that is
behind him.

If THE Democrats follow Bryan's ad-
vice and taboo the hundreds of thousands

1T HAS been seriously proposed that a
company of United States cavalry be sent
to Morocco to recover Mr.. .Perdicaris and
his stefFon. This is not haIf-bad idea.
A company of United States cavalry, ex-

which would certainly astonish them, if il
didn't do them any good.

THE prolonged contest in the Illinois
Republican Convention came to an unex-
pected conclusion on the evening of Thurs
day. June 2, by a combination being
brought about among the followers of
Yates, Hamlin, Sherman, and Deneen, by
which the combined vote was thrown to
Deneen, giving him 957 1-2 votes against
for Yates, 522 1.2 for Lowden, and 21
for Warner. The combination prepared a
slate which was; L. Y. Sherman for Lieu
tenant-Governors James A. Rose for Secre-
tary of State, Len Small for State Treas
urer, James s. Mccullough for State Au-
ditor, and b. NJ, Chiperfeld for Attorney
General. The State went through except
Chiperfeld, who was beaten by w. F.
Stead for Attorney-General. Now the abb
sorbing problem Is whether the beaten fac
tions will unite heartily in carrying the
State, and this seems to be assured by Col.

THI Il1PUbk,(r COAL sAaoxs.

TIE testimony 81 the ''coal barons'' BE-
fore the Interstate Commerce Commission
will 60 far to ALLEVIATE all public sympathy
with them in AMI FIGURE troubles. Il will b
remembered that Mr.. Baer. President Of the
Philadelphia & Reading Railroad Co. and
other companies, was quite impudent to
President Roosevelt when the latter tried
to bring about "A settlement Of the coal
troubles sometime ago. He and Mr.. Trues-
dale. President of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna & Western Railway Co. and others,
aggravated this bfeuse by refusing to tes-
tify before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, telling them that their private bus-
mess was none of the public's business.
The Supreme Court, however, brought
them to time, and ordered them to appear
before the Committee and answer such
questions as might be propounded. Their
testimony was coolly insolent. Mr.. Baer
said: Gas long as there is q demand for
all the coal that we can mine at the price
we ask, there Eill be no reduction in the
cost to the consumer" Again he said:
1--WE shall hold up the price of coal just
as long as the people will pay it." While
both witnesses denied that there was any
combinat ton to maintain the prices, they
admitted that the rates were uniform, and
were all that the traffic would bear. This
is beyond a doubt the worst that has been
said about these combines. They are Of the
worst character Of trusts. The anthracite
coal field is limited. These men and their
associates control it, and they have agreed
among themselves upon the highest rates
that those who use anthracite can be COM
PEELED to pay. They are extorting from the
people every dollar that the situation can
be made to produce
People must have fuel, it is one of the
absolute necessities of life, and those who
prefer apthracite must pay dearly for their
preference. The question is whether men
who are holding up the community in this
! way can be brought within the range Of
the law. This is matter which must be
settled, not by incorporate denunciations
and windy speeches in Congress or on the
| stump. nor even by hot-blast editorials in
the yellow papers. 1t is a favorite belief
of ours that the law furnishes a relief
for every wrong, and there ought to be
some way in which the law can be made
to cure these manifest evils.

JUROR ABLES'
LEGAL KNOWLEDGE
THE CASE OF BROWN AGAINST
SPRECKELS, TRANSFERRED
FROM HILO, BEFORE GEAR.

L. G. Ables, called as a juror i'm the
case of G. A. Brown VS. J. ID. Spreckels
ct al, suit transferred from the Hilo
circuit court. was excused this morning
because he said that he would take his
own view of the law in preference to
that of the court. Ables under eXamiu-
alton by Judge Stanley stated that if
the views of the law expressed by at
torueys in the case agreed with ms own,
he would accept them in preference to
any the court might give. He would
rather follow good attorney than q
poor judge.
Ablas was examined at considerable
length about his peculiar view Of jur-
or duty, but insisted that ne would al
ways be influenced by his own view Of
the law. He was excused by consent,
and Judge Gear advised him to get a
certificate to practice law. The Judge
compared the Jurors attitude to that
of an Eastern jury in jurisdiction
where the jurors We're judges of law as
well as facts. A jury bringing i'm YER
dict contrary to the courts legal in
structions was told by the presiding
judge that the verdict disagreed with
his Instructions and member of the
jury replied: we considered that
point"
The Brown-Spreckels case was first
tried before Judge Little and the YER
dict there rendered against Spreckels
was reversed i'm the Supreme Court. and
later a change of venue to the First
Circuit was secured. Twelve jurors
were secured this morning, after spend
ing most of yesterday examining Jurors,
but ga. Berndt arose JUST before be-
ing sworn i'm ana stated that he did not
think he could fairly try the case
Berndt only just passed for cause on
his examination. He was excused by
consent. Several other jurors at once
began to ask for excuses, but no more
We're allowed to go. The attorneys
agreed to draw others and select the
most probable men and the case was
adjourned to 1880 this afternoon for
completion of the jury. Magoon and
Stanley appear for Brown and Kinney.
