 We pick up the paper every day and l read of some man who has died very suddenly of heart failure" 1t is of ten a man in the prime of life, and thousands every year. Nearly all these people are poisoned. The lawmakers know they are poisoned; the general public know they are poisoned, but mo- body has yet been prosecuted for It. Here is how 1t is done. Years ago somebody extracted the juice out of carrots and little of 1t put in 8 ehurn, even in midwinterS made the butter a rich golden color. It was perfectly harmless and perfectly wholesome. It was used extensively and blessed by | both the dairvman and his customers Not long ago 1t was discovered, you that would color butter exactly as the liquid that came from the carrot that oolered it.. It was rank poison; but it drove the carrot juice out of busi- ness, for it was ten times cheaper. Now the beautiful and golden cream cry butter you eat attacks your kid- neys, and helps to kill you of heart Aniline and coal tar dyes are staple articles of food in our land of liberty. ten m of the. heart failures" You read of in the newspapers. Buy a can of peas-have they an appetizing green pea look? Then be sure they are pois-
  beans. Canned tomatoes generally get their tomato red color from poison. and with catsup 1t is even worse. Nearly all the candy of commerce is, poisoned It is estimated that the American people spend every year as much as 1 $T50 1000. 900 flor adulterated foods and drinks, and generally adulterated goods Is poisoned goods that shortens human l life I get the above facts out of an article in The New York Sun. and l have selected only a very few of many. | "A -N-- --..A l..

 There is said to be an insurrection on the Republican side of the House of Representatives. have seen them succeeded. The Republican party is the best disciplined thing I ever saw. It has no appetite for anything in the world but unconstttutionaltty and a majority; The first insurreetion ever saw in the Republican ranks was when the vote was taken on the last of the Bland silver bills that got on the call publican side and he did 1t like a Prus- sian drill sergeant of old Fredericks time. He made men vote against the bill who really favored 1t; He chased and down dale. but when he caught him the Hon, Pickler refused to do the bidding of his captor.

 There was an insurreetion on the RepGbiesn o11U sid side naTt oyer the PhilippsnS amounted to much Discipline pre- vailed and the recalcitrants were too few in number to seriously disturb the leaders. There were always nut. terings when Reed was speaker. but with the single exception of Grove Johnson. of California, never saw the Republican who, in open session challenged his parliamentary Czarism They eternally threatened 1t in the cloak room and In the committee room but they never "belled the cat"
 That was serious insurrection in the Republican ranks in the Fifty seventh Congress. They killed Cuban reciprocity for the session;- but when Roosevelt ordered Congress to pass the bill the recalcitrants came back with two or three exceptions and did what was required of them. And now there is an instruction against the Philippine tariff. I do not believe II will prevail. When they hear the crack of the party lash enough oi them will fall in to do the business Old Joe Cannon is not DaYe Tender son, and UnclA Joe is reading the riot act day and night. If the pinch comes the President 4 will send for some oi
 them and then the bottom will dror out of the rebellion.
