Cost of Living.
Chattanooga Times.

A patron wants to know how Mir. Roosevelt's statistician reached the conclusion that the cost of living has increased very little under the present administration. It is very easily done. Your average statistician can take a classified line of figures and make them show anything. This particular ex- pert to whom was intrusted the duty of fixing up this particular juggle sim ply selected a lot of articles. giving the cost of these formerly and now. and then striking an average. For in- stance, he takes nutmegs. which he showed to be 45 per cent less than the cost for the years ending 1899; eggs he finds have increased in the same way from to 10 per cent. but the average of these two--nutmegs and eggs-show that the cost of living is largely below what it was. Nutmegs, of course, do not figure much in the dinner pail, but they are very useful, it will be seen. in the computations of this partisan ex- pert. This same statistician takes alum-although nobody ever eats alum and very rarely uses it-and averages 1t with corn. Alum Is down and corn IS up. but the average shows we can live cheaper than we once could
 A party that has to resort to this kind of stuff to bolster up its declining prestige deserves to be summarily kicked out of place by the people whom 1t seeks to dupe and deceive.

GAINEY V. THE STATE

Prosecution for Carrying Concealed
 Weapons.-Appeal from the Coun-
 ty Court of Geneva.
 l. Carrying concealed weapons; the fact of defendants being drunk irrele- vant.-On a trial of defendant charg. ed with carry pistol concealed about his person. 1t is not competent for the State to ask one of its witnesses who had testified to having seen the defend ant with a pistol concealed on his per- son, as to whether or not the defend- ant was drunk or sober at the time he had said pistol; such question calling for evidence irrelevant or immaterial to any issue in the case.
 2. Same; same; as to circumstances of difficulty inadmissible.- While on the trial of a defendant for carrying a pistol concealed about his person it is competent for him, on the cross-exam. ination of a States witness who had testified to his having carried the pis- toI concealed, to ask said witness if he had not been convicted for assauiting the defendant with a gun at the time inquired about, yet 1t is not competent for the State. on the rebuttal exami- nation of said witness, to prove the particulars of the difficulty which oc- cured at the time of the assault.
 8. Reasonable doubt; charge in ref erence thereto.-In the trial of a crfm- inal case. charge asserts a correct proposition. and should be given at the written request of the defendant. which instructs the jury that If there is a reasonable probability of defendants s innocence. then this is a just founda- tion for reasonable doubt, and au- sthorizes an acquittal."
 Reversed and remanded.

A Monumental Danger and shame.

If a Democrat were President of the United States and were running for election for another term. he would be criticised. If he took his Secretary for Commerce from that office which in- sures to him power over all corpora- ttons. with secret knowledge of their resources, their interests their fears and their combinations. and made that Secretary his collector of campaign contributions!
 If a Democratic President did that Republican criticism upon him for do- ing that would be relentless and would be just. A Republican President. Mir. Roosevelt, a candidate for election for a second term, has done just that Democratic criticism of him for doing that is relentless and Is just. That criticism, which Republicans would not resent, if made by them against q Democrat, Republicans should not re- sent when made by Democrats against them The action referred to Is mon umental for hardihood. It Is preg- nant with possibilities of scandal and of shame. It Is significant of the American politics. It is suggestive of a courage for doing and for daring, in directions of danger and of wrong, that that has never been shown before. It ought to arouse the morality and tho manhood 9f the people of the United will or not. It will if those people are vitally and vlvidly honest. It will not, if those people have become sod- den and shameless.
 All suppositions or comments aside. the thing is a fact in our present his sun among men has ever presented such a fact. Our own government never before among men presented such fact Were Mir. Cortelyon the

not affect the Presidential result in that State. but if the Democrats cleo, a Governor and control the Legislature so as to elect Democrat to the Sen ate. 1t will be 90 much clear gain. But if the bitter light Is kept up. 1t will be strange if 1t does not extend beyond local and State affairs. There is much bitterness already existing. which bids fair to grow as the campaign proceeds. and 1t will be strange if 1t doesn't af- feet the Presidential and Congressional election. The electoral vote of that State. and few Democratic Congress- men in place of the solitary one we now have. are results worth fighting for. If the Democrats can do anything to encourage and intensity the factional fight 1t will be good and profitable poli- tics.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful it in |,
 Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char coal is the safest and most efficient dis infectant and purifier in nature. but few realize its value when taken into the human sstem for the same clean sing purpose.
 Charcoal is remedy that the more you take of 1t the better; it Is not a drug at all' but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and car ries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating on- ions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and inn proves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is In Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health, better complex ion, sweeter breath and purer blood and the beauty of it is, that no pos sible harm can result from their con- tinued use, but on the contrary great benefit.
 A Buffalo physician in speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says: T advise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patient suffering from gas in sto- mach. and bowels and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; I also believe the liver Is greatly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and although in some sense a patent preparation. yet believe I get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets"

Rapid Campaign Development.

lnd1dnapolts Sentinel.
 No longer can 1t be said that the people take no interest In the present campaign. Quite suddenly there mas been distinct impetus in this particu, 1, lar and from apparent indifference ane Inactivity the people have aroused Themselves to a pitch of interest. par tfculariy In the States which are down on the Republican list as doubtful. that speaks volumes fer the issues and principles upon which the Democrats have made their appeal. On one hand hlled by their best political correspond ents, are conceding that the triumph pr the Democracy in New York State Is altogether probable. and that no ef- fort can save Indiana for Mir.

Republicans who are familiar with the Wisconsin situation frankly admit that ex-Governor Peck. carry that State and that the immense foretgn-born population there. with its intense prejudice against expansion and large military establishment. places the Republican electoral ticket lin jeopardy. Another recent develop ment of the campaign is the fact that Republicans have been put plainly in with explanations and apologies. while at the outset they took the aggressive. This facing about is particularly evil dent in the effort of the Republicans to pose MT. Roosevelt as peaceable. tractable and conservative President a role in which he Is palpable misfit.

BOYNTON SUBMITS REPORT.
Work for Year of Chickamauga an'
 Chattanooga Park Commission.

Cn0ItHMOOBA EuEA NOhAhkA"SACAAs
 Washington. Oct. 12.-The War De- partment has just received the report of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Park Commission. submitted for the commission by Gen. H. ", Boynton, chairman.
 The Commissioners state that during the year monuments were erected and dedicated by the States of Maryland, Ohio and Pennsylvania. The State of Ohio has placed seventy bronze tablets on Missionary Ridge. The Commls sioners add that work is progressing very rapidly on the great New York monument on Lookout Mountain. The Commission recommends for the next fiscal year increased provision for maintenance of roads; also for rebuild ing the Peavine Creek Bridge; and that the Alexander bridge, which Is of wood. be replaced with one of metal.
 General Boynton refers to the sta- tJoninE in the park for the last two years of the 7th cavalry, and says the excellent health of that command has continued to demonstrate that the park Is a region exceptionally free from dis ease. and that for troops fully instruct ed in the sanitary care of their camps. no more healthfuI location could be found.
 Referring to some slight disorders that have occurred, General Boynton says:
 "The discords which have occurred are largely attributable to conditions which obtain about all army posts since the abolition of the canteen. which action has substituted for the restraining influence of the post ex- change formerly administered. the sur reptitious sale of the vilest liquors in the vilest resorts"

MINIS vs. THE STATE.

Prosecution for Wilfully or wantonly
 Killing of Injuring an ox.-Appeal
 from the County Court of Geneva.
 1. wilfully or wantonly killing or injuring an OK; habit of OK inadmis- sible in evidence.--In a prosecution for unlawfully or wantonly killing or in- turing an OK, the habit of the OK 'in breaking into and going in fields that were enclosed" is irrelevant to any issue involved, and is inadmissible in
 2. Charge as reasonable doubt; req sonable probability.-In the trial of a criminal case, a charge asserts n cor rect proposition. and should be given at the request of the defendant, which instructs the jury that eff there is from the evidence a reasonable prob ability of defendants innocence. then this is the just foundation for a req sonable doubt, and would authorize an acquittal."
 3. Impeachment of witness; charge in reference therto.-Where in the trial of a criminal case, a witness for the State upon his cross-examination. denies having made certain statements out of court, which were in conflict with his testimony as given on trial, and the defendant introduces a wit ness who testified that States said witness did make the statements in- quired about out of court. charge

There have been differences of opin- ion as to what the New Hampshire courts decided on the question of Christian Science" practice. We have seen the statement made that the courts of that State have formally decided that the Scientists have the same righ, to practice healing that regular physi- clans have, but this Is not correct. As we understand 1t, they do not decide that these people have or have not a right to practice. They only held that one who employs a Scientist and fails to obtain relief cannot obtain damages from the alleged healer. In other words. the court leaves them at liberty to practice. but holds that all who em ploy them do so at their own risk and we should consider 1t a very risky business. to say the least of 1t.

THE CONGO QUESTION.

Whatever the merits or demerits of the Congo question. or, in other words the abuses practiced by Belgians upon the natives of tho Congo Basin, the Englishmen who have organized and sent a delegate to this country to ask the Intervention of the United States, have chosen badly in selecting an hour to begin their agitation here. This is a presidential year. They have clearly overlooked that fact. One candidate who would dearly love to play the role of war lord ordinarily is just now mug zIed and tied by his own Party man. agers and forbidden to talk at all ex- cept on the subject of peace" These facts the Englishmen have clearly over- looked too.
 We observe the distinguished coloreG educator of Tuskegee has been moved by the alleged horrors in the treat nent of natives in the Belgian African possessions. to come forward. and in the last issue of The Outlook, without saying what can be done, insists some thing must be done in the premises He mentions as one of the darkest fea- lures of the situation in the Congo. that some of the tribes are encouraged to eat the members of other tribes, and. being encouraged, the cannibals do consume their brethren in large num- bers.
 We wonder if any American in a po- sition of authority really believes 1t Is the duty of the United States to police tropical Africa, protect the natives thefe and guard them against killing, cooking and eating one another. We can understand the Tuskegee educa- tors point of view. In behalf of his own race, he would naturally be will ing to see this Government embark in any enterprise, looking to his races business? It has been urged that the United States was the first of the pow erS to recognize the Congo Free State as having flag of its own. Does this petty fact lay any obligation upon us to go over there and regulate the do- ings under that fag7
 The real gist of the matter appears to De A0el5 more COmpe- tent to manage and exploit that im- mense and rich area of Africa better, to greater advantage. than Leopold and his agents. No doubt England can, but England should attend to the case her self. If intervention or remonstrance Is considered proper. We do not mean, of course to say the English Government is behind this silly attempt to involve the United States with Belgium. but that English influences. having regard for the future interests of the British Empire, would cheerfully involve the United States in the Congo problem If it were possible.
 Senator Morgan was a great promoter of the Congo Free State. He believed 1t would furnish in the course of time an outlet for the negro race in America, and he looked forward. hopefully, to seeing negroes emigrate by the thous- ands to their old home. Possibly he still regards his plan as feasible. We gravely doubt many would return there when they learn what an enormous ap- petite for human flesh many of the Congo natives have.

TALKED OF CANAL WORK.
Members of Commission Call On Presi-
 dent Roosevelt.

Washington. Oct. 12.-Memoers of the Panama Canal Commission, now in the city. called today by appointment on President Roosevelt. short time this afternoon John Barrett. acting Minister to Manama, had conference with the President.
 The Commission remained with tho President about a half hour. In an in- formal way the Commission presented to the President the net results of It's consideration of the canal questions, and spoke particularly as to proposals of supplies. Among other proposals which the Commission has accepted were those for thirteen immense steam shovels and for 5000, 900 feet of lum- Der.
 If 1t should be determined eventually to have the canal work done by con- tract, an arrangement will be made with contractors for the purchase of the steam shovels and lumber as well as of other supplies now being acquired Dy the Commission. Whether the ca- nal work will be done by eontrant or

w1sooNsIN,s FRACTIONAL FIGHT.

To say that the Democrats have a chance in wisconsin sounds like the very extreme limit of optimism. A State which gave Mckinley a plurality of something over 1O6,0oO four years ago doesn't present sa very promising field for Democratic effort, but strange l things happen in love and politics. Mir. Cleveland carried the State In 1892 by safe plurality. The average Republi- can vote cast in the six Presidential elections prior to 1896 was only trifie over 145.oOO, yet in 1896 the vote was 26S,O00 in round numbers and 265, ,0e0 in 1900.
 This increase in the Republican vote cannot be accounted for on any other united in the last two elections and the Democrats were indifferent. There was not such an increase of popula- ton as would account for it. The con ditions this year are reversed. If the Democrats are not so thoroughly united as they should be, the Republicans are a thousand times less so. True, their fight Is on account of State matters, the LaFollette faction on one side and the "stalwarts" on the other. When the State Supreme Court decided that the LaFollette ticket was the regular one, S. A. Cook, who had been nominated for Governor by the "stalwart" faction, promptly withdrew, and his followers at once nominated Edward scofeld. a rich old lumberman. and his side is ap- parently in dead earnest. As The Chl- cago Chronicle. Republican, says
 When such men as Scoheld, the two United States Senators, Representative Babeock and scores of Republicans be- sides who deservedly enjoy the conh- | dence and esteem of the people and are | acknowledged to be among the best
 men In public life in the State are ar rayed against the La Toilette faction,
 1t looks to unbiased outsiders as
 though there must be strong reasons | for pursuing the course they have en- | tered upon.
 It is plain that the Republicans are rattled over the conditions. The Chronicle affects to believe that the split will not affect the national ticket, yet 1t pronounces the affair "deplora- ble in many ways" and admits that 1t may result in the loss of one of the United States Senators and some of the Congressman. Senator Quarles declares that the decision of the court "cuts no ice" and that the fight will go on.
 It Is very true that the division mex
