Talk about government inspection !


We take the following from the an
nual report of DR.. Charles J. Whalen
Commissioner Of Health Of the city OF
Chicago. Just published. The facts
speak for themselves
AT the Union Stock Yards during
the last five months Of the year, seven
inspectors five Of whom were appoint
cd In Novcmher) have condemned and
destroyed 2.104. O3S pounds OF meat. as
being unfit for food: all OF which
would have been sold In the city OF Chi.
cagO. ana for which the purchaser
would have paid hrst.class prices"
"From these figures It is very evident
that inspection by the city Of all food
products Is Of untold value. not only
from financial hut from sanitary
ana hyglenic standpoint"

The city Is fighting the ravages OF
the Beef Trust again with four meat
inspectors.
This number Is very Insignificant
and wholly insufficient to inspect TO-.
900 cattle and 100000 hogs a day.
But, as the Beef Trust aldermen
won't appropriate money for any more,
the Health Department does the best
1t can and that isn't very much.

BRITAIN HOLDS
COTTON MARKET
IN So. AMERICA

Washington, Dec. 10.-"The entire value
OF shipments OF cotton piece goods from
the United States 10 South America for
the past fiscal year was s3,946567, while
the shipments OF Great Britain for the
six months ended. June 30 last. were wall
ueG at nearly s1S.0O0.00o. and for 10 months
ended October. 1906. nearly s3e. 100000. To
Argentina alone Great Britain in the six
noEths ended with June. 1906. sold abotit
twice as much as the United States sold
for the entire past fiscal year TO all South
America"
This statement was made I'm the annual
report of John NJ Carson. chief of the bu-
reau OF manufactures in the department
of commerce and labor. The report por-
trays the results OF the next years efforts
of the government directly 10 promote
American export trade I'm manufactured
goods. The bureau has furnished Ameri-
can manufacturers and merchants with
lanes or parties throughout the world
engaged in the sale OF imported merchan-
disc. The report says
"rhc cotton piece goods trade Of China
is large and constantly growing. The
exports of cotton cloths from Great Brit
ain to China alone for 1905 were greater
than those of the United States to all
countries for that period.
1.-The entire trade OF the United states
with South American countries for the
fiscal year was sl4O. ,S76 In imports and
75.l59,7Sf I'm exports. The present com
merce of all South America is placed APP
proximately at $3.50, 100000 in imports and
S75G. 100000 I'm exports. England domi-
mates I'm the commerce OF South America,
followed by Germany.
Neglect OF the South American mar
kets by American manufacturers ana
merchants. lack OF direct steamship COM
munication and absence OF banking faclli-
ties are contributory causes To this condi-
ton, and until they are overcome the
trade of the United States with the coun-
tries of South America will continue TO
be relatively OF slow growth.
"Of the annual products of manufac-
ture $3.50 600 worth was exported the
last fiscal year The value OF farm prod
ucts exported that year, excluded those
of the forests. the mines and the fisheries,
was $685., 600, 900. The report says an In
crease OF nearly 30 per cent in the value
of manufactured products In the last five
years is a forceful reminder OF the urgent
necessity for immediate and organized et-
forts TO find foreign markets for an out
nut which already in many lines of indus
trv largely exceeds home demands, and
is in itself an urgent appeal for the los
tering care OF the congress.
The report urges American business
men 10 send TO foreign fields personal
repre- sentatives TO establish and maintain
agencies and branches.

The hall was crowded to it's utmost
capacity. mostly by Jews from the
lower east side. DR.. Levin had fn-
ished his address and Mr.. Schiff was
uttering the closing words Of the meet
ing when a rush was started toward
the platform. Everybody in the great
audience apparently wanted to shake
hands with the Jewish patriot. The
crowd climbed over the reporters table
In the midst OF the rush there came
a great crash. The northern half of
the platform dropped to the floor,
distance Of about three feet. and near
~ everybody standing on the collapsed
part was thrown off his feet. There
were several women in the heap. Sew
eral OF the women shrieked, but those
who fell were more calm than they
might have been expected 10 be.

for the exit, heard the crash and

heap and was one OF the first TO get

within a few minutes and while no one
was seriously hurt there were some
dresses torn and some bonnets crushed.

ISSUES" ANALYSIS
OF THE ELECTION.

Under the caption "Braytonism and the
Election" the Rhode Island Issue. organ
Of the Rhode Island Temperance league.
saws:
There are some facts that furnish en-
enlargement for the continuance OF the
conflict with Braytonism which has so
automatically controlled our legislature
as TO protect the liquor traffic from the
passage >of laws which would compel IL
To restrain it's chief evils and at least be
Gecent on Sunday and in it's relation to
women and children.
THE apparent victory i'm the election OF
the members OF the senate is with the
machine; but consider the following facts:
There are about 10000 possible voters I'm
the state. OF these Sl,97l were entitled 10
vote on Nov. g. but OF these only $65, $50
voted for governor, leaving about 5000
who might have voted.
when our league first began its sys-
tematic propaganda TO stir independent
voters TO action the total wos 40 per cent.
Of the possible vote. The Democratic
party did not usually poll over 5000 votes,
and the Republican party had never polled
10000 votes.
'In the fourth year OF our continuous
efforts to awaken the independent vote.
the Republican party polled $245il and the
Democratic party polled S2279
The first Republican candidate for gov
ernor was George II. Utter; and he is the
only Republcan candidate for that OF
fee who has had so large a vote. Gov.
Utter this year received over 500 more
votes than last year: but last year the
Independent voters did not vote as this
year.
Gov. UtteE this year received at least
5s12 more than the straight Republican
vote OF last year; but Mr.. Higgins re-
ceived 1906 more than the straight DEM
ocratic vote of last year. The independent
voter has again come out TO strike AT
the same foe that has been his objective
for the past four years, the "Brayton
machine
1T seems from this study Of the cleo
tion that, so long as the Republican party
is controlled by the Brayton machine. IL
cannot hope TO receive more than a maxi
mum of 10000 votes. even II the 5000 who
did not vote this year could be aroused
to vote and that the number would likely
be far short Of that.
IF the 10000 other possible voters can
be reached who have not qualified the
field for the development of opposition 10
the control of the present boss is appar-
