ca.vAoo's DILEMMA.

It occurs to us that the people of Chicago are In a bad way. They arc assured by the doctors that snow makes for the health of the city because. as they reason 1t out. the thickly falling flakes gather all the impurities. microbes and other dangerous elements which are sus- pended in the air and carry them down with it. This purihes the atmosphere and that naturally conduces to the health of the people. That is all right but there's another side to it. The snow must melt when a warm spell comes on and the water flows through the sewers, carrying, with it all the impurities it collected from the air and all that it had sathered on the streets and sidewalks and in the sewers themselves. All this &C., cumufated disease-producer is carried into the lake and the people drink the water.
 It is continuous performance and one fails to see how to dodge the con- bsequences. True, they can boil the water. but that is troublesome. often incon- venient and sometimes impya oticabie
 They can't keep the snow from falling, nor can they prevent the melting process. Nor can they, apparently keep it from flowing into the lake, or abstain from drinking the water. That is. most people look on water as a necessity. even If it is not of the best. and refuse to take any substitute for it. It Is a perpiexing problem. - - +%~'

--------- HEARST'S MONEY
Must Be Taken Into Account-That
 Only Makes Him Important.

Louisville Special.
 The Courier-Journal says:
 That 0 man wholly untried in political affairs, untrained in office, personally un- public arena, should appear as candi- date for President of the United States seems anamalous to the point of absurd ity, and it would be easy enough to dis miss the aspirations of MT. Hearst as d piece with the fantastic ebullitions of the late George Francis Train, or even the unseXed whims of Victoria Woodruff of other days. But, as MT. Wellman shows, those who make light of him and ignore the power of audacity and enterprise working with unlimited means. Mir. Hearst, at least, is dead in earnest. Eth CT he or some one tor him is an energetic League of Democratic clubs, of which he is President, and certain labor unions all over the country which rally to his cali he has not merely a barrel of free silver but a hogshead of standard gold. We say nothing about his newspapers, for they will do him more harm than good, and if he had any real chance, either for a nomination or election, they would de- Stroy it.
 ''The Courier-Journal wishes to have only a friendly interest in MT. Hearst Assuredly 1t is conscious of no unfriendly sentiment It fully realizes that his can- dluacy Is actual, that 1t has elements of strength and that it will have to be met at St. Louis. It would dignity. not be- little it. But the party has rights US well as MT. Bryan and MT. Hearst. It must not be taken unaWares. 1t must not be the victim of any snapshots. Thus it is that We ring the getting bell for Demo- crats and call time on MT. Hearst"

SENATOR GoRMAN
Does Not Look Happy-Leadership
 Path Beset With Thorns.

Washington Special to Chicago Record
 Senator German does not look happy these days. The lines of care are show ing dark and heavy on his usually placid face. What appeared q few months ago like q Howery path to the Presidential nomination of his party-the path Of lead ership of the minority in the Senate-has turned out to be q way strewn with thorns instead of roses. His own party has split in twain, and half of 1t refuses to follow his leadership. Defeat in the end stares him in the fact, and the long CT he delays the inevitable by a Fabian policy the greater the disgust Of the coun- try To make matters worse, large part of this popular impat1ence shows ltSen in the section of the country where MT: Gorman's greatest strength as political leader was supposed to lie-in the South. It is a matter of common gossip among the Democrats of Washington that MI. German actually threw" away his chances for the Democratic Presidential nomina- tfon when he started on this fruitless ef- fort to hold up a great national enter Dr!se. t
 Whether that in the end shall prove to be entirely true it is interesting to know that there is a'method in MT. Germans madness. lie has never really hoped to defeat the. treaty, his friends explain. They say his real purpose has been to start a debate and scrutiny of the Pres ident's course in the isthmus, which might convince the country that Mir. Roosevelt is too impetuous and reckless to'be safe man to have in the White House. He be lieves. the one winning issue will be the alleged "snsafeness' of President Roose- welt, who without doubt is to be the Re- ,pubucali standard bearer. MT. German is understood to be well satisfied with his work ill this respect, and after he has carried his war on the President to the extent which he thinks juStifiable in eX- posing what he calls the great weakness of the Republicans in the approaching po- litical battle he will gracefully step aside and the treaty will be ratified.

TOO MUCH MILITARY
To Suit Staid Conservative Folks of
 Both Parties.

Washington Special
 There is a good deal of gossip among public men of both parties over the some what extraordinary action of President Roosevelt in ordering out a squadron of cavalry yesterday to meet Governor Taft at the railway station and escort him to his hotel. The critics of the President say this was a mistake; that it savors too much of imperialism and militarism; that 1t too much resembles the pageantry and display which the Romans loved to throw about the triumphant return of the Gov ernor of distant province. Some of tbe leading Republicans admit they were a little surprised when they heard the Pres ident had ordered out the cavalry as a mark of honor to Governor Taft. But after all they have no fear that the Amer iean people are going to get excited be- cause a few troopers ride up Pennsylva- mia Avenue in escort of an American who has just come from the Far East crown ed with the plaudits of the whole world for his successful labors there in the cause of good government and the uplIft- ing of a poor. people. These Republicans say the American people do not have conniption fits and imagine a Caesar is within their midst every time they see a squad of soldiers performing an act of courtesy. And yet the Democratic desire for an issue is so strong that efforts are to be made to magnify this trifiing inci- dent into an affair of national signifi- canoe.

NORTH CAROLINA DEMOCRATS
Want No More Bryan or Bryan Plat
 forms.

Raleigh Special to The Chronicle.
 If W. J. Bryan is looking to North Car olina for votes to reaffirm the Kansas City platform, he will experience d dis appointment in the delegation that will be sent to the St. Louis Convention next July. Ten years ago the Democratic State Convention made an abjCct Surren- der to Populism and the party met with overwhelming defeat. Two years later 1t had not recovered it's senses and the dis aster was repeated, with the result that the entire State administration was over turned. In the Legislature the following winter the Democrats were mere hand tul and the State appeared to be nope Iessly lost. But defeat had the effect Of bringing the party to it's right mind, ana the convention of 1898 repudiated the par gain with Populism, with the result that there was a decided Democratic majority in the Legislature elected that year. TWO years later the party was entirely re- stored to the courage Of it's conNlctollS and the Republicans were voted out ol oit1Ce. Since then the party IS appdlcllty more firmly cntrenched i'll pupHc 4aNoi than ever before.

HOLDS FoRAKER BACK.
The President Very Anxious For
 Peace in Ohio.

w WaShlnSton Special.
 The President is still working bravely and zealously to bring about a peaceful settlement of the Ohio complications, He Is obviously so much in earnest that he has restrained Senator Foraker from re- turning to the State and beginning cam paign that would at least destroy all hope of peace. Several days ago when it be- came apparent that Senator Hanna was too i'll to discuss politics in Ohio or else- where thePresident intimated to a mutual friend that he would like to See General Dick, chairman of the Republican State Committee.
 The friend tried to deliver the message. He sought for Dick in the House of Rep resentatives, at his law office, his home, the hotels and wherever else he deemed it probable he would find him. The Gen eral, however, seemed to have vanished completely. The mutual friend, much discouraged and not q little crestfallen, was forced to report at the White House that he was unable to find Dick. The President was surprised. He finally met Dick face to face at Senator Alger's re- ception to Secretary Root
 Delighted" said the President, biting the words into three sy fables, as he seized Dick by the shoulders and deftly ran him into corner. 50 am I, Mir. President" Dick gasped, and submitted to the run ming. The interview was long and vigor- words with vigorous gesticulations for which he used both arms. Dick was meek and patient
 4 Next morning Dick appeared at the White House. He was promptly admit ted to the Presidents reception room and all other visitors were barred for nearly an hour.
 There are offices there which ought to be filled by appointment and Senator Hanna and Foraker should get together and try to agree on nominees" said tho President F. -
 Tt is my profound wish," said the gem eral, softly. that there shall be peace and harmony in the State of Ohio, but you know, in regard to this matter of appointments and delegates to the na- tiOnal convention, Senator Hanna alone has the right to speak. The Senator is too i'll to talk politics, but just as soon as he Is able to sit up or leave his r0Om will be delighted to take up the subject with him. "

Faults of. American Men.

London Ladys Pictorial.
 While the American maiden proves 90 irresistible to our men. her brother finds little favor in the sight of the English girl. and there is very little chance, 1t would seem. of the old and the new coun- tries being united other than through the womenkind of America. It is remarkable that although our peerage has now beeh recruited for many years back from America. the sisters and daughters or English peers have shown little disposi- ton to enter the families from which their sisters-in-law and mothers and step mothers have come Yet We are always being told that Americana make ideal husbands But. if the truth must be told. the reas6n why they do not appeal to EnElishwomen is that they lack manner while their eourtesy and admiratlon de- generate into the familiarity that breeds contempt Furthermore. they are busl- ness machines. and finally they seldom understand how to dress.

TO PnEvENr ADuLTERATroN.

The national House of Representatives has just passed a bill which provides that aduIterasions of foods and drinks. including intoxicating liquors, are to be punished in the federal courts, and com menting on the measure The Indianapolis Sentinel says:
 When the law becomes effective it is promised that severe measures will be Immediately taken against all adultera- tors. The abuse which this bill is h. tended to correct has long been one of the most pernicious and dangerous con- ceivahle. Its continuance 5sas been a crying shame, The people have been ex- ceedingIy patient with the prisoners who have gone unwhipped so long. A serious effort to bring them to justice will be welcomed with open arms. In no other country has there been so much neglect in safeguarding the health of the people, as affected by adulterations. as in Amert- ca. From now on it Is to be hoped that we may expect better things.
 While it might be better if the State courts could punish those who trifle with life and health as do those who adulterate our food and drink, We have long since arrived at the conclusion that it is idle to expect adequate relief from that source. Some States have laws on the subject and probably there is an honest effort to en- force such laws, but 1t is not done. just the same. One of the great obstacles in the way of enforcing such a law in Ala bama for example, lies in the fact that dealers here in Montgomery, we will say, have no means of knowing whether the goods they sell are adulterated unless they have each article analysed. which is manifestly impossible. If the manu- 6acturer in another State mixes cheap worthless or hurtful materials with the Hour, lard, sugar, etc, that he puts up. the Montgomery man might continuously violate pure food law of Alabama with out in any way being to blame. for it is plain that our merchants cannot make a critical investigation of every article they offer for sale. Then, too, it would cer tainly be unjust to punish Montgomery cage man.
 The man who wilfully adulterates our food. even if the adulterant is harmless, is Q criminal. He may mix fine corn meal with flour, or pure lard with butter.
 
 or pea flour with sugar, and no injury to health would result. but at the same time he would be getting first-class prices for second rate articles and would thus be obtaining money under false pIetences, for that is what it amounts to. and that is certainly a crime. How much worse is it, then, when some adulterant is used which endangers life and health.
 As before stated, it would be we'll if it were possible for State laws to deal adequately with all deliberations of food drink or medicine. but that seems impos, sible. at least for the present. If the United States courts can take hold and suppress the evil practice and punish the offenders let it be done. It cannot be done too soon.
