that rate of compensation, it is point
ed out. the president could obtain the
services of several disinterested prac-
teal men to make the proposed in
vestigation. Assertions have been
made from time to time that some
of the food manufacturers use ben
zoate of soda freely to preserve food
stuffs which could not be marketed
unless preserved-that is to say, the
food is in such condition that it
would be rejected under the pure
food law. 1t would be an easy mat
ter for an investigating commission
to get at the truth of this allegation
say persons who favor an inquiry
of this sort.
There are plenty of indications
that the report of the Remsen Board
Will receive attention during the
coming session of congress. Practi-
cally every medical society of the
country of consequence has approved
the stand DR.. H. W Wiley has TAX
en- in opposition to the conclusions
reached by that board. Under the
circumstances, there seems no escape
from at least a heated controversy
in congress as to whether the Board
was right or wrong Recently some
chemists of high repute who have
gone through the complete data af
the Remsen Board have reached the
conclusion that the deductions made
by the board from the data we're not
wholly warranted These chemists
have made a special study of the
memoranda kept by those members
of the board who conducted the ex-
periments of feeding benzoate of
soda in food to several subjects. The
assertion is made that this memo
randa goes far toward substantiating
the conclusions reached by DR.. Wiley
who, in the early stages of the con-
troversy as to whether the use of
benzoate of soda as a preservative
should be permitted conducted a Sc
ries of experiments in the Depart
ment of Agriculture.

BREAD RIOTS WILL
NOT BE SURPRISING
THE NUMBER OF UNEMPLOYED
MEN Is REALLY APPALLING.
The Total Number of Men Placed on
the Registers of the BOrOughs in
a Space of Nine Days Amounts to
1881.

1t would not be surprising in
deed, it will be surprising if it is
otherwise London is not the
scene of many bloody bread riots
during the coming winter The pla-
cards, so prevalent last year, reading
ITO hell with eharity-we want
work." are again to be seen in the
streets of the world metropolis, car
ried gaunt and hungry men who
have been reduced to the tragedy of
seeing their families starving before
their eyes.
The return of the amount of IN
employed under the Central Labor
Body is certainly most appalling, es-
pecially as coming on the eve of short
days and winter weather. The re-
turns are valuable as enabling Eng
lishmen to look the matter in the
face. The total number of men plac-
ed on the registers of the London
boroughs in a space of nine days
amounts to 1854 and of this num-
Der CamberweI and Poplar claim
close on a 1000 each. In the case
of the various applicants the tales
told by some of them are simply
heartrendering because they reveal
quite a new class of men out of WORK
to that generally associated with the
unemployed, who seem to be always
in that state, and who do not care
particularly so long as they can get
food, drink and shelter. The men
referred to are respectable artisans,
who one after another have been
turned out OF employment because
there is not work for them in their
old shops These men, with their
families, have kept on hoping against
hope, parting with this piece of furn-
iture or that article of clothing, until
at last they have had to entirely
clear out their homes, leaving them
selves stranded, wretched and pow
erty-stricken.

EUROPE CONTINUES
TO BE DISTURBED
OTHERS BESIDES SOCIALISTS
AND RADICALS EXCITED.
Drastic Precautions in Connection
With the Journey of King Alfonso
Are Being Taken by Portuguese Po-
lice and Scotland Yard

Europe continues in an agitated
state over the assassination of DR..
Ferrer by the Spanish authorities and
the reprisals that have followed in
its wake. The bullet-riddled body
of Ferrer, lying in its unmarked
grave, is silenced forever, but the
voice of his indomitable soul is
speaking with clarion call to action
Nor is it alone the Socialists, anar-
chists and political radicals who are
excited. The foremost literary and
scientific men of England and the
Continent have joined in a protest
that must be heard.
In all the nations of the world
kings are quaking on their crumbling
thrones, and even Edward the POpu-
lar is not unaffected by the mighty
clamor. The cry that he might have
saved Ferrer has gone forth, and has
had it's result in greatly diminishing
the popularity of the King.
AS a result of the Ferrer episode,
precautions even more drastic than
those taken in connection with the
journeys of King Alfonso of Spain
are being taken by the Portuguese
police agents and the Scotland Yard
authorities in connection with the
impending visit of King Emanuel
to this country. The public would
be astounded to learn the contents
of some of the communications, the
majority of which are anonymous, re-
ceived by Scotland Yard in cOnnec-
ton with the plans the writer's al
lege have been made with the object
of securing the assassination of the
young King of Portugal. For some
time all English socialists have been
kept under the closest observation,
and detailed reports of their move
ments and descriptions of the pers-
Ons with whom they have been as
sociating are dispatched at short in
tervals to all international police
headquarters.

A Solemn Warning.

"A OOlOInn W dEnlnS.
 The long and futile fight of James P. Storm, the defaulting treasurer of Yavapai county, ought to convey a solemn and impressive lesson to all public officials. Every device known to the legal profession was em- ployed to save Storm from pay ing the penalty of his crime, but in the end justice was triumphant,
 While there are many who be- lieve that Storm was not wholly responsible for the luting of the treasury. and he is the object of much sympathy because of the peculiar circumstances surround ing the affair, yet law abiding citizens generally admit that the punishment of Storm was necces- sary to uphold the laws and thereby preserve the fundamen- tai principles C. government. The people of Yavapai county are to be congratulated upon having had an aggressive and fearless district attorney m the office in the person of Robt. E.
