PROLoNGING LIFE.

We believe 1t was General Schenck. the man who wrote treatise on the game of draw poker who lived quite while on crackers and sour milk and was cured of serious ailment by the treatment. Now we have the as- surance of a Russian professor that the constant use of sour milk will pro- long human life far beyond the present limit. We presume he means butter milk, though of this we are not sure. and 1t may be that both would have the same effect. The butter milk would be much cheaper as a regular diet than would be the sour milk before churn- ing, but if either or both will prolong life and Insure health they will become popular.
 Like most other scientists who treat of human life and human health this Professor rings in the germ theory as an explanation of his alleged discovery. He reasons that there is an old age microbe which preys on the sources of human vitality and causes what he con siders premature old age. Then he tells us that the sour milk contains a bacillus of another breed and that when 1t tackles the old age bug 1t at once puts the latter out of business. As a natural result. if the old age critter is not at liberty to run riot In the hu- man anatomy the man or woman will have no reason for. growing old and may live for centuries.
 This is all very interesting, but like other untried theories it's value de- bends on the results to be obtained by putting it into practice. And we can not help wondering how the early inhabitants of this old world escaped

LIGHTNING ARTIST CHANGES.

Whenever President Roosevelt sees a vote or a body of votes lying round loose, he goes straight after them like A chicken after a June bug. His latest achievement in this fashion Is to run after the peace vote and influence. Nobody except himself could keep his face straight with the record he has and deliver a glowing eulogy on the charms of peace. The one question that interested The Hague Tribunal and left undermined there was that of international disarmament. This light ming change artist will call the Trib- unal together once more and urge upon them, without a doubt that disarma- ment is a fine thing. and they must concert some plan to bring 1t about.
 As a matter of fact. if there Is any one conviction that he holds more firmly than another; that springs from his deeper feelings. it is that peace Is A more or less dishonorable condition for any nation, and true greatness Is only to be achieved with cannons and ships. He has pounded at this Idea ill season and out. making 1t clear not merely by what he says, but by what he does. that he would rejoice at an opportunity to embroil the United States in some struggle worthy of our immense power as a fighting force. This is so plain that whatever prospect he now has of success in this campaign is due to the restless and adventurous spirit of the Western people. If he is elected 1t will be because the people of the Middle West are not only willing but anxious to see this country get "a hump on" and go shouldering around the world looking for a quarrel and a fight.
 It it one of the curious clements in the Presidents character that what he says in one minute he fully and wholly believes for that minute. It would be unfair to him to charge him with con- scious hypocrisy in haranguing about the virtues of peace. He temporarily believed what he said. No man could be as repeatedly and ridiculously in- consistent in so many ways as he, un- less he was with each change of opin- ion sincere in the change.

 There was a lull in the election pet- ting on the curb today.
 The significant thing, brokers sald' was the withdrawal of some cons1dera- ble amounts of Roosevelt money which had been offered on Saturday. one broker said that of s20,000 which ne had been commissioned to bet on Roosevelt at the prevailing odds that day, $1S,000 had been withdrawn. Other brokers also reported that several offers made on Saturday, but not accepted, had been cancelled This was due, 1t was asserted to the publlca- ton today of Judge Parker's letter of acceptance.
 Thus there was less money offering on Roosevelt today, and corresponding ly a little more on Parker. Brokers were offering 1-2 to 10 today on Parker, and there were some offerings at ? to l on Roosevelt, but no active betting up to the hour mentioned. ex- cept for one or two insignificant amounts. Even money was offered that Parker would carry New York State, and no better terms could be got from the Roosevelt adherents.
 This afternoon Fred NJ Brooks plac- ed bet of $1,000 to $900 that Herrick will be elected Governor of New York State, and is offering s2,00O more on the same basis.

New York Times.


 Something of how the tariffs are made was told the other day by Colonel Wu- kinson, formerly a United States Gen eral Appraiser. The DingleY bill was largely written by the late Colonel Tichenor, then the President of the Board of General Appraisers and one of the leading tariff experts in the country. When he came to revise the free list he found a provision on it for | "brime.' He went with it to Con- gressman Dingley.
 "Dingley, whats prime? he asked. "I never heard of it, and I cant find lt in any of the dictionaries.
 Dinglcy could not tell him. but re- minded him of the axiom of tariff mak- CTS that the free list was sacred and advised him to let it alone. Colonel TiChenor Was not satisfied, but hunted up the law preceding the Mckinley law and found that brine" was on the free list there. IL did not appear, however, in the law preceding that, and Tich- enor finally started to canvass the Con [ gr essmen to find out if he cOuld what | brine" was and how it got on the free 1 list, Finally he discovered that it was | included in the list at the request of a former member of Congress, and Tich- enor whose curiosity was now aroused went to see him.
 The statesman didn't know what ! brine was, but he did remember that | 1t was included in the free list at the request of one of his constituents, and ] the two went to see the constituent.

TT WAS TRUE, ALL THE SAME.

The Chicago Chronicle refers to the complaint made during reconstruction days of the forty acres and a mule" doctrine. and says:
 This complaint carried with 1t the prepostereus charge that the Govern, to conflscate the lands of the whites and give them to the blacks. It also inn piled that the negroes were credu1ous enough to believe that the Government was going to set them up in the busi- ness of farming.
 It Is not possible for The Chronicle to laugh or sheer the charge out of court, for there are plenty of witnesses yet living who know that the negroes were led to believe that each oolored head of a family was to receive forty acres of land and a mule, and that In order to obtain the necessary land, the of the white rebels and divide 1t among the former slaves. This was but one of the many low and despicable means resorted to by certain Northern adventurers to line their own pockets and advance their own ends.
  ern men who came South soon after tho war were Ion the make" or that they made use of the ignorant and credulous negroes to further thetr own vile pur- poses. This would not be true or just charge, but there were many among the visitors from the North who were as thoroughly without honor or conscience as so many wolves. Some of them wanted office, and others wanted money, and all used any means that would ac- complish their ends. They were not long in finding that the colored people would believe any lie that was told them by a Northern man. Under such conditions 1t is not to be wondered at that the forty acres and mule argu- ment was used for all it was worth and that a majority of negroes believed 1t and acted on it.
 That this vile story had much to do with fomenting and perpetuating the troubles which transformed the South into an earthly hell during reconstruc- ton days is beyond doubt. The negroes were taught that their long service as slaves gave them a right to a portion of the soil and that the Government would give it to them. Such a prospect was sufficient to not only demoralize labor. but to render the negroes dan gerous in many localities, and it was not till the whites took affairs in thelr own hands and sternly applied the only remedy open to them that the trouble passed away.
 Such Roosevelt worshippers as Thc Chronicle may sheer at the story. but they cannot thus wipe out the disgrace of that era in our history. And we can assure it. further. that the course pursued by its candidate for President tends to conditions as unbearable as those of thirty-fve years ago.
