/ THE OPTIMEST's CORNER
BY George F. Butler. AN, MD.

~ .S'Soi &c y
Water constitutes more than one
fourth OF the bulk Of the body and all
the functions OF life are really carried
on In a waiter bath; and, although the
sense OF thirst may be trusted to call
for d draft Of water when required,
the fluid can be imbibed most advant-
ageously for many reasons besides
merely satisfying thirst.
Digestion is much facilitated by a
moderate draft Of water, which dlsin-
egrates and dissoves the contents Of
the stomach, fitting it for emulgence
and preparing it for assimilation.
The habit of drinking water in mod.
crate quantities between meals con-
tributes to health, and indicates the
fact that those who visit health resorts
for the purpose of drinking the waters
of mineral springs might profit by stay
ing at home and drinking more water
and less beer and whisky. Water is the
universal solvent of nature, and the
chief agent in all transformations of
matter. When taken into an empty
stomach it quickly passes into the
circulation to liquify effete solids,
whose excretion from the system is
thus Facilitated, Very few, people think
of the necessity on washing the In
side us well as the outside of the body,
and he who would be perfectly healthy
should be as careful about the cleanlt-.
ness of his stomach as that of his Skin,

LESSON OF a DISASTER.
Springfield Republican.

1t took an especially disastrous
Fourth of July to persuade Trenton, N.
j. as Cleveland, o., was persuaded last
year that radical restrictions need to
be placed upon the sale and use of eX-
lplosives. In the capital of New Jersey
on Independence day this year a little
girl was burned to death, two men had
hands blown off, two children We're
nlaimed for life, and there was the us
ual assortment of other casualties
When Trentontrealized the injury which
had come to it, the morning following
this oldfashioned celebration, the city
council assembled and put on the cal
endar for action at the next meeting an
ordinance imposing heavy penalties up
on the sale or use Of explosives there.
1t is to be expected that this ordinance

GRAFT IN CITIES.

Recent Investigations proved that
Vice In Chicago paid sS,OoooOo year

saying that somebody accepted brides
to that amount annually for not prose
cutting law-brealtcrs.
Chicago Is, unfortunately. not the
only. large city in this country in which
graft is practiced. Pittsburg, st.sll.o'ui Is,

in many places where the light has not
been turned on it is pretty we'll under
stood that the dark, deep shadows,
like charity, covers a multitude of
sins.
Many causes could be assigned for
the universal prevalence of graft. But
one Of them is the indifference
Of many citizens to the management
of public affairs Private affairs are
being watched very closely but pub
lie affairs are entrusted. very often, to
incompetent men. No one seems to.
care for how public money is spent,
Whose business Is that?
# In regard to public expenditures
many citizens actslike the passenger on
the sinking ship. He was calmly en-
asjoying3 n pipe on deck, when someone
came rushing up to him and announc-
ed that the ship was filling with water
and, would sink, unless the damage
could be repaired. WE'LL no said,
What Is that to us? 1t is not our
ship That}is the question many citi-
zens ask, mentally, regarding the sink
ing ship of state. They do not realize
that they sink or float with it.

ties OF citizenship. When that comes

4 JOKER IN THE BILla

. j q ala - i * z 9s
The discovery of the Joker" In the
tariff bill, if it really is there, by
means Of which the tariff on shoes IS
virtually retained while that on hides
is removed. tustit1es the Western Sena-
tors in taking action that viii delay
the passage of the measure until after
this flaw shall have been remedied.
They did not yield to the Presidents
stand for free hides, until they We're
assured that the people would get the
benefit or corresponding reduction IN
the tariff on leather goods. And r. at
ter making hides free. the tariff on
leather and It's manufactures Is re-
tained it is not a all unlikely, con-
sdering the present upward tendencies
of the market. that such goods may
actually advance still further In price,
Instead of falling.
the distinct understanding that the du-
ties on leather goods should undergo
substantial reductions and IL tho rates
on leather and shoes remain as befofe.
the compact has been broken 10 the
disadvantage of the public.
The Western Senators say that they
understood the arrangement to be thal
al, leather boots and shoes were to pc
made dutiable at only ten per cent ana
all harness at only 20 per cent # hides
were made free.
The fact seems to be that in Tie nil.
the reduction on leather goods applies
{ only to those made from hides hitherto
sdutiable and was not intended to IN
sc!ude leather goods manufactured from
hides hitherto free. A duty of ten per
cent on pair OF shoes costing S4.00
or of 90 per cent on a set of harness
costing $40, would still be substan-.
3tial tax, and would add considerably
more to the selling Dricesiof these COM
modities than the tax collected Oh each,
which would be 40 cents on the pair OF
shoes and SIS on tho set of harness.
The reason why the selling prices would
be advanced above the amounts of the
tax collected is that the articles must
pass through several degrees of mid
5dlemen before reaching tho consumer;
ana each one that handles the goods
Is entitled to his profit.
II. therefore, the duty on shoes is not
lowered to ten per cent at was fifteen),
and the dutY5on harness to 20 per cent
then the Western Senator's appear to
be justified in holding out for this COM
nensntors reduction in view OF their
yielding to the demand for free hides.

SECRETARY WILSON'S VIEW.

The Secretary of Agriculture, Mr.
James Wilson, agrees with Mr. Gates
In the View that this country is. capable
of supporting vastly greater popula-
tipn than now occupies 1t.
The Secretary admits that we are
not producing foodstuffs in proportion
to the increase in popula ton; and gives
as a reason for this condition that the
number OF those engaged In agricnl-5
stural pursuits is out Of proportion to
our ever increasing population.
He thinks that Americas trouble lies
in the fact that the cities have grown
in population at the expense OF the
rural communities. The people have
moved from the country to the town.
as a consequence, the farms have not
produced as they would If the people
had remained to work them
The Secretary explains that about
fifty years ago. America gave to
manufactures ample protection with
a tariff which was q good thing for
them, and for the farmer, who found
thereby ready home market for his
product

HAS NO PROOF.

The anti Mormon organ the other
day took occasion to assert that hum
stlretls Of Illegal marriages had been
performed since the Manifesto, with the
knowledge and approval of the Church
Authorities.
One OF our prominent citizens, Jos f.
Taylor. promptly challenged the sheet
!. to prove its dasturdly SANDER and of
fered 81 900 for each case it could prove
But, as was to be expected, it declines
to offer any proof 1t says, instead
that no case can beproved because the
4 proofs are in the records kept in the
Temple,
Did anybody connected with the Trib-
une ever examine the Temple records?
No. Did anyone who has examined
them ever tell the Tribune what they
contain? No. How, then, does the pa
per know that they4contuin any records
of5rlural marriages contracted after the
Manifesto? Is ii not evident to anyone
who VIII reflect on the matter that the
sheet merely takes refuge behind the
Temple records to escape the challenge
to prove it's false accusations?
But by such methods any church
could be similarly assailed. For In
stance the Presbyterian church might
be accused of protecting Illegal rela-
tons: and the accuser would only have
to say that the proofs are hidden SOME
where The Catholic clergy have, we
believe. actually been assailed for inn
morality. What would be thought of
one who should make a definite charge
and then crawl out by saying that the
proofs are hidden in the archives Of the
inconsistencies and therefore not avail
able? Free Masons have bern accused,
by ignorant fanatics, Of all kinds OF evil
practices. But what sane person would
make a definite charge against the fra
ternityS and expect to escape censure
by merely saying that tile proofs are
hidden from public view among the Ma
sonic records? Bnt thatis exaetlg, what
the anti-"Mormon" sheet does 1t
makes a false and defamatbry accus8-
ton aginst the Church and then when
asked for proofs, says the proofs ave

lutely no Knowledge
