CoTTON-sEED OIL AS FOOD.

The vigorous campaign which the
cotton-seed oil men are making in be-
half of their product as food is interest
ing and it deserves to succeed. Undoubt-
edly cotton-seed oil is quite as good as
all but best olive oil. and very much
better than poor olive oil and many
grades of lard and butter. 1t seems to
be easily digestible and as valuable a
food as any other fat. Therefore, it
ought to be sold on it's merits, and the
people buy it as such instead of buying
it at very much higher prices disguised
as Italian and French olive oil. COM
pound lard and compound butter, etc.
1t is said that 10000 barrels of cotton
seed oil are used every year in Maine
to pack sardines; Holland uses 900, 1000
barrels to extend" her famous butter,
while Italy and Spain import 100000
barrels to bottle, label as pure olive oil
and sell back to us at fancy prices
1t is cotton-seed oil or cotton oil, as
some prefer to call it, that is entering
so largely into the dietary of the Aus
tria-Hungarians chat the tariff bars
have been raised against it with the
result of reducing the importations
nearly 100000 barrels in year. The
English import about 10000 tons a
year for various food purposes. In the
households it is used for frying instead

buy it direct from us for this purpose
to purchasing it secondhand from the

AN AMEND.

Some months ago, during the absence
of the editor. clipping appeared in the
Northern Christian Advocate, of Syra-
cuse, N. Y, rejecting severely upon the
Incorporate habits of the veterans, and
this was accompanied with an editorial
Endorsement. The matter was discussed
at that time in The National Tribune,
and has excited the attention of Metho-
dist veterans everywhere. 1t is due to
the editor of the paper, DR.. Liston H.
Pearce. to say that the offending article
was put in the paper during his abb
sence that it did not reflect his senti-
ments at all, and that he deeply regret

KING EDWARDS BIRTHDAY.

King Edward VII. has now entered
upon his 9th year, with the prospect
of many Years before him in spite OF
the diseases which threatened his
youth. The 66 years which ne has lived
have been far more prosperous and
happy years for his country than for
any other in Europe. During that time
France has changed her Government
three times, and has had four great
wars, in one of which she was crushed
and humiliated. Prussia, which in his
boyhood was only a small Kingdom
has absorbed very nearly all the rest
of Germany, and is now the greatest
power in Europe.
During the same time Austria has
sadly waned.
When he first heard of the Emperor
of Austria he was the autocrat of Aus
| tro-Hungary, large part of Italy and
the Emperor of the German Confedera-
ton. Since then have come two great
| wars, in which Austria has been badly
defeated. She was forced out of Ger
many. driven out of Italy, and has been
almost torn in two repeatedly by in
ternal dissensions.
While Edward was yet a young man
Italy was an aggregation of petty little
States. part Of them under Austria, part
under the intolera5le tyranny of the
King of the Two Siciiies and part under
the control of the Pope OF Rome. A
smaller. but the best part. was under
the King of Sardinia, realm consist
ing of the italian side of the Alps and
the Island of Sardinia. Now the King
of Sardinia is the King of United Italy
with all the Italians, except those who
yet remain with Austria and with
Switzerland. under his dominion.
For SO years of Edwards life Russia
was the COLOSSUS OF the North" sup
posed to have irresistible power, and
to be the perfection of a despotism
Since then she has waged one great
war against Turkey. in which she came
off with some success, and another with
Japan, from which she emerged broken
and dishonored, and to-day she is a
turmoil of revolution and anarchism
the end Of which no man can foresee.
In the meanwhile Great Britain has
increased in wealth, strength and ter
| ritory, with the people everywhere un-
der her flag contented and prosperous
Canada and Australia have risen to the
| dignity of Nations, with only a nomi-
nal but lovingly confessed allegiance to
| the mother country. India, after the
terrible Sepoy insurrection of 1857, is
more contented and prosperous thar
ever before in the thousand years OF
the history of the Hindoo Peninsula
There is the constant talk of serious
unrest there, but 1t is nothing to that
which has preceded it, and probably
means far less than the surface indi-
cations. Altogether the friends of the
! King had abundant reasons for the fe.
hcitations they gave him upon attain.

THE CLEVELAND, o., ELECTION.

After the sharpest contest for years
son has been elected Mayor of Cleve-
land, o., over Theodore Burton, who
left his seat in Congress to enter the
| municipal contest. At the close of the
polls it was believed that the vote would
be close, with the chances somewhat in
favor of Burton, but the count showed
a majority of 9,313 for Johnson. The
entire Democratic ticket was elected
with the exception of a Police Clerk
and three members of the School Board
The City Council will stand 25 Demo-
Gratis to seven Republicans. Johnson.
of course, proclaims this as great vic
| tory for the people. but his opponents
| say that 1t was due. first, to the general
| feeling against the Cleveland Electric
Railway Company. which has been ty-
rannic and obstinate in its attitude for
years, and furnished most of the ma
terial which johnson has used to such
good advantage. Next, a number of
smart negro politicians were influenced
| to fight Burton. which they did upon
| the pretext that he was in sympathy
with the Presidents dismissal of the
black battalion. Third, Johnson had
built up machine of unusual strength
He had thousands of men in municipal
employ, whose retention of their places
depended upon his will, and they con-
trolled friends and relatives enough to
make a powerful faction. The liquor
interests of the city We're another fac
tor, as a strong effort is being made to
secure closed Sunday, which IS being
| resisted by the liquor men and rallied
against 1t the vast mass of foreigners
which now fill up Cleveland. The Gen.
eral Electric Company bowed to the
storm, and one month before election
began selling tickets at seven for a
quarter with one actual transfer and a
qualified transfer. It Is claimed that
this would be better than Johnson's rate
of a three-cent fare with no transfers.
Immediately after the result of the cleo
ton was known the Electric Railway
Company resumed selling tickets II for
80 cents. AS Johnson was elected on
a straight three-cent platform and pre-
sumably will at once proceed to put
this rate into operation, the Electric
Railway Company determined to make
hay while the sun shone. Those who
are not favorable to the Taft boom re-
gard the decision in Cleveland as a
black eye to the Secretary, but his
friends stoutly deny this. Tho Senator
Foraker issued very proper call to
his friends to cordially support Burton.
it is undeniable that great many took
advantage of the occasion to put knife
into the Taft-Burton combination.

The first of the sensational cases
promised by the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau is the seizure of the great plant OF
the Dry Fork Distilling Co., located
about 15 miles from Lynchburg. II
is estimated that the Government has
lost between $4,000 and 100000 in
the last two years by frauds practiced
upon the revenue. The capacity of the
plant is about 1000 barrels, or between
$4,000 and $4,000 gallons annually. The
first item in the exposure is an exam

THE REAL JAPAN.

We are beginning to learn something
of the real Japan. So many perfervid
emotional writers have been straining
themselves to9fill our periodical litera-
ture with pretty pictures that we have
come toiregard Japan as land where
big chrysanthemums are always in
bloom, oyer which bend only blue skies;
where the plump and pleasing little
women with their shining, black, elab-
orately- -cOiffured heads shuttle around
with mincing, grace. clad in the pic
| turesque,kimono; where all the men are
brave and asvexalted in honor as they
are in refined politeness. The impress
sion has been fastened upon us that
Japan is an immense garden. titled with
| cheerful zeal by willing laborers. land
where neither riches nor poverty are
conspicuous to the eye, abounding
everywhere in dainty, artistic. immacu-
| late, cigar-box homes, wherein all the
domestic virtues are practiced. There
has been such a monotony in this pic
ture of Japan that possibly revelation
of the seamy side will not be unwel-
come. The men who go to Japan to see
| things as they really are. and tell of
them in terms Of Western life, give us
chillingly different picture. Zola has
represented to us with great graphic
force the naturalization of the French
peasant, whom iron fate has forced to
| exc what subsistence he can for him
self and family out of few unfertile
l1craS CTR Uula full
| omy and absolute deprivation of all the
finer things of life make the poor peas
| ant and his wife sordid, mean, intensely
greedy. 1t seems almost impossible that
a ray of higher life should ever enter
their squalid homes.
Unpromising as is the French peas
ants condition, it must be infinitely su-
perior to that of the japanese peasant,
for the simple reason that the conditions
of life for the French farmer peasant
are all the time much better than can
possibly be those of his little brown
brother" in Japan. The Frenchman has
more land than the Japanese, can get
more out of 1t, and much more for
what he gets out of it than the Jap can,
| and therefore his life, miserable as it is,
| is on higher and more liberal plan
| than the poor Japanese. If the hard
conditions of life make the Frenchman
lhopelessly sordid, greedy, coarse and in
calculably cunning, what must therefore
be the condition of the Japanese people,
when millions more than the entire
population Of France depend for their
entire living on less than a quarter of
| the arabic soil that there is in that
country? Plain-speaking travellers will
tell. in little circles where they meet
experienced men, of the bigger part of
the great Japanese cities being occupied
by slums Of a lower type of degradation
and human vileness than can be found
| in even such slum-cursed cities as Lon
don. Berlin, Antwerp or Naples. The
Japanese Government spares no effort
to prevent any knowledge of this from
reaching7the outside world. Foreigners
are kept away from these slum districts
as much as possible. and shown only
the brighter, attractive side of japanese
life. whtie all attempts to write them up
or photograph them have encountered
the heavy hand of the japanese police.

WEBSTER AND SCOTT.

People with long political memories
see a gross irony in having the statues
of Daniel Webster and Gen Winfield
Scott placed within 100 yards of each
other. What embittered beyond ex-
preston the last days of the Great Ex-
FOUNDER of the Constitution was the
preference of the Wings for Gen. VIM
field Scott for the Presidential nominal
ton in 1852 Daniel Webster had want
ed to be President, with deep-hearted
hunger that few Americans have ever
evinced. If we should name the Amer
leans who have most earnestly longed
for election as Chief Executive we
should make the list Henry Clay, Dan
iel Webster. James G. Blaine and Lewis
Cass. Webster was one Of the men who
organized the Whig Party, and he was
from the first its greatest statesman.
He firmly believed that he had earned
the nomination, not only by his premier
ship among the orators and law-givers,
but by his prompt retirement from the
Cabinet Of President Tyler when the
latter went over to the Democrats, and
he entered the Wing Convention of 1874
as candidate, but was disappointed at
the smallness of his following. In 1S4S
he was candidate with renewed hopes,
and the nomination OF Taylor was pill
almost too hard for him to swallow
He at first made no scruple of denounc-
ing 1t as "one-not fit to be made" For
a long time he could not bring himself
to support Taylor's candidacy. but later
supported the Wing Administration with
all his mighty strength. His speech
March Z, 1850. in support of the Fugi-
tive Slave Law and Genunciatory of the
North for its agitation of the slavery
question, was regarded as a bid for the
support of the Southern Wings in the
Convention Of 1852. This, on the con-
trary, alienated from him the support
of the Free Soil Wings of the North
and particularly New England, who de-
nounced the speech as trucking to the
slave power. Gen. Winfield Scott re-
ceived the nomination instead of Web
ster, and possibly this disappointment
killed him, since he died in the October
following the nomination.
AS q matter Of fact, Webster's nomina-
ton was impossible, since the Wings
were very much in the condition of the
Democrats of to-day. There was nc
| issue upon which they could unite. and
they only succeeded in 1S4S by nominat-
ing Taylor and making his brilliant vic.
tories their sole platform. They tried
to do this again with Scott. but failed

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN COLORADO.

Woman suffrage has now been tried
for Is years in the State of Colorado,
and there is much interest in the result
of an experiment which started as the
result Of the agitation in favor of wo-
mans suffrage, and also was more or
less due to the desire of the people to
advertise their new State. What seems
a fair and impartial presentation has
been made by Mr.. William Macleod
Raine, who says that while on the one
hand Colorado has not been regenerat-
ed, nor political corruption abolished,
neither has the ward heeler, the saloon,
nor social evil been extirpated. They all
thrive as of yore. On the other hand,
homes have not been disrupted or wo-
men unsexed. Comparatively few women
in the State have shown desire to hold
office, and the position of Superintend-
ent of Public Instruction is the only one
which has been usually conceded to
woman. In the Counties that of Super
intendent of Public instruction is the
quently held by what Mrs. Partington
called "the opposite SEX" Years ago
the County in which Denver is situated
was in the habit of electing three
women to the Legislature, but this prac-
tice has ceased, and neither of the last
bers. In 1900 there were 20 women
elected County Superintendents and sos
School Directors. Occasionally Coun-
ty would elect a woman Clerk. Treasur-
er or Assessor. At the present time
the only woman who holds a County
office. outside of Superintendent of In
struction, is one who is Treasurer of
Gunnison County. AS q rule, women
do not make good politicians or manag-
| ers, and are not interested in merely
partisan politics. In things which re-
| late to the home women have made
themselves felt for the good In legisla-
ton in the interest Of purity, decency
and humanity. One of the recent de-
velopments has been in the sanitation
and artistic decoration of school houses,
and muca good work in this direction
can be properly attributed to them.

establishments for girls and boys in

much relating to the education and
character forming of girls has been
achieved by taking these matters some
what OUT of the hands of men and put
ting them in those of women. 1t is
claimed that Colorado has to-day the
best laws of any State for the care and
safeguarding of children and unfor-

men. The founder of the Juvenile Court
says that his success was due to the
