Wo shall have pure articles for homo and otUer consumption, at least in the way of preserves and condi ments, if the honorable dealers stick unitedly and strenuously to their re solve that they will not accept from the manufacturers goods that are not guaranteed what they are represent ed to be on their labels. The latter, therefore, to preserve their own repu tations, will furnish unadulterated goods, and this will result in great benefit to tho public, or that part of it that does not believo in buying a thing simply because it is cheap, and lias some faint resemblance to vvhat it pretends to represent. A poor imitation is never desirable, even if the ingredients of which it is com posed are not directly poisonous, and long doctors' bills would be fewer if everybody persisted in buying pure food of fair quality, and paying the usual market price for it, instead of purchasing something at cut rates, which contains neither nourishment nor genuine palatable flavor. A small quantity of what is good is better than a large quantity of what is bad. This is especially the case in the way of what are considered delicacies, and which can be wholly dispensed with if necessary. To replace these with adulterations is the height of folly, and is without pleasure or profit in the long run, for the poor substitute satiates at last, after ruining the di gestion of the partaker thereof. Bet ter bread and molasses and a good stomach than highly colored jellies and jams that contain little real fruit. Other articles of food than those mentioned may have similar rules applied to them, for they, too, should be guaranteed to the seller, so that the domestic buyer may be protected and the pure food law made effective. It is no use to pass an act if it is not enforced, remarks the Boston Budget, and no reputable manufacturer will object to warranting his wares. The one who does not guarantee them should be watched and receive severe legal punishment when the opportuni ty arrives for his conviction. The Ute "Uprising." Persons familiar with real Indian uprisings have been amused at the amount of attention attracted to the recent attempted migration of 300 I'tes from their reservation in Utah to more fertile land in Wyoming, it could hardly be called an uprising in the old sense, says Youth's Compan ion. The Indians had no warlike pur pose. They were simply seeking a place of residence where it will be possible to get food. It is 15 years since there has been anything which can properly be called an uprising, and that culminated in the fight at Wounded Knee, S. D., in 1890. The campaign of Gen. Miles for the cap ture of Oeronimo in 1886 was really the last serious conflict between the whites and the red men. Togo far ther back, troops were called out at the time of the massacre of the Meek er family by the White river Utes in 1879, and the Sioux and Cheyennes were so troublesome in 1876 that they had to be attacked in the campaign which resulted in the Custer massa cre. These were grave disturbances; but so many of the Indians now speak English, wear civilized clothing and cultivate the land, that the red man who has any disposition to take to the war-path has practically disap peared. Novelists, some of whom may never have owned a dress coat, used to be fond of drawing, in their tales, a sharp social distinction between per sons who "dressed for dinner" and those who did not. Now the editor of a British medical journal has been discussing and commending from a hygienic point of view the habit of dressing for dinner. Kveryone knows that a change of clothing is often re freshing. The English editor believes that I lie' effect is physical as well as mental, or physical through the men tal stimulus, and advises that even the hard-working clerk, the shopkeep er and the laboring man cast off their workaday clothes and put on clean clothing for the evening meal, when the toil of the day is over. GERMAN ATTITUDE THAT OF TRYING TO ENFORCE AN UNFAIR ALTERNATIVE. Not a Spuare Deal First to Increase Tariff Rates and Then Force a Re duction of Our Rates As the Price of Fair Treatment. In a recent speech of Count Speck von Sternburg at the banquet of the New York Chamber of Commerce no new light has been cast upon the tariff controversy precipitated by the Ger man threat of discrimination against exports from the United States. Ac cepted as spoken in good faith all of the ambassador's protestations of Germany's earnest desire for amity alike in political and commercial rela tions, the fact yet remains that Ger many is alone responsible for any prospective breach. Naturally the Germans prefer commercial peace, but they have started out to get it on their own terms. Commercial peace is a good thing, a very necessary thing, for a country which evgry year sends to the United States $150,000,000 of its products, most of them products competing with our own labor and industry, and whose steamship lines receive fully as much more for transporting Amer ican commerce. A total of $:'»00,000,- 000 a year is quite well worth keep ing the peace for. The $220,000,000 a year of American sales to Germany are, on the contrary, mostly of non competitive products, commodities that are indispensable to German manufacturers. It In a big sttke that. Germany is playing for, but she cannot win against a hand full of American trumps. The cards are against her. Her opening suit is a blunder. It is a double tariff with maximum rates placed outrageously high, purely for the purposes of compelling concessions from the American tariff rates and from American customs regulation such as will enable her to crowd larger quantities of competitive goods into the American market. Obviously Uncle Sam's proper play Is to trump the trick by pointing out the fact that in respect to tariff rates and customs regulations, Germany's exports to the United States are treated precisely as the exports of all other countries are treated, and that it would be farcical to suppose that we are going to reduce our own min imum tariff in return for Germany's reduction of her maximum tariff. Then, when any move shall be made to carry out the threat of subjecting American exports to the penalty of the prohibitive German maximum, the an swer should be, must be, a retaliatory increase of tariff rates on all im ports from Germany. This play would end the game. With such a certainty in plain sight the German bluff would never be carried to the point of ac tual operation. German industrial producers can not afford the loss of a market of $ 150,000.000 a year. German steam ship lines cannot afford the loss of freight earnings amounting to another $150,000,000 a year. It was, of course, not to be ex pected that Count von Sternburg would incorporate into his Chamber of Commerce speech a recognition of these facts and conditions. That is not what he was there for. To have done so would have been a prodigious stretch of diplomatic candor. He was speaking to orders, and his orders evidently did not authorize any lati tude on the qi'.estion of tariff rates. Otherwise, the Count might have hinted at the possibility of a square deal in which Germany would un dertake to reduce her minimum tariff rates—not her maximum—in return for tariff concessions on the part of the United States. Such a proposal would at least open the door for negotiation and place the United States in the posi tion of deciding whether or not it would consent to an increase of Ger man competition in manufactures as the price of lower tariff rates on our own exports. But, as we have said, Germany starts wrong. She starts with a bluff, a threat, a club in her hand. She demands concessions and grants nope. It is impossible to see how the United Spates can deal with such a propo sition other than by a peremptory refusal. To yield to Germany's de mand in its present form would be a political blunder and an economic crime. Using the Cloak of Revision. It will be noted by those who re view such literature to any extent that almost every complaint coming from Democratic sources against any existing conditions are based upon opposition to the protective tariff. If representations from the political op ponents of protection were accepted, it would be believed that railroad re bates and the meat packers' wrong doings, and violations of the pure food laws, as well as all trusts and cor poration troubles, are directly due to the existing of protective duties. Tariff revision is urger from such sources as an incident of tariff oppo sition, and not as a helpful move in any direction. The tariff schedule as ri! present arranged may not be per | feet or beyond improvement, but it will be well to keep the fact in mind that opposition to protection will not be disposed of or materially lessened through attempting to meet the de mands of those who are using the eloaks of tariff revisions to cover the forms of opponents to protection.— Adrian (Mich.) Times. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 3, ANOTHER SET OF PATRIOTS. Want Protection Removed from the Other Fellow's Products. At its closing session in Chicago the National Association of Agricultural- Implement and Vehicle Manufacturers adopted a resolution calling upon con gress to revise the entire tariff laws bearing upon lumber and Its products and calling for general reciprocity be tween the ITnited States and all coun tries regarding all timber products. If all the timber which goes into the construction of an ordinary farm wagon was brought from some foreign country and the duty thereon was paid, and if the duty paid was added to the selling price of the wagon, it woultl not increase the price so much as 50 cents, but when we consider that lumber is a home production, it is like ly the price bears no relation to the duty on material. In so far as Ameri can industry is concerned, it matters little whether there is a duty on lum ber or whether it is admitted free. Like many other products, the protec tion on lumber, if it can be said the duty is protective, is a matter of con cern to only a limited territory contig uous to some other country like Can ada or Mexico, for instance. Lumber of all kinds has increased many dol lars per thousand feet during the past few years, while the duty is only two dollars per thousand on cut lumber and less on squared timbers, hence we know that the duty practically has no bearing on the lumber prices. Tho Wilson law removed the duty on lum ber, and Canada, our only competitor, Immediately put on an export duty equal to our former tariff. Canada does not want her lumber sent to this country, and hence when we do not put up •. discrimination, her It.vj eup« ply what is missing. But the plaint of the vehicle manu facturers is an old one. It is the sel fish policy that demands cheap raw material and high prices on finished products. Tho vehicle manufacturers evidently overlooked something. They omitted to ask for a reduction of the tariff on the goods they make for other people.—lowa City Republican. "Almost Obsolete." An abridged report by cable tells ol an address lately delivered at a Ger man institution of learning by Prof, John William Burgess, of Columbia university. New York, in which the statement was made that in the Unit ed States protection is an "almost obsolete" doctrine. One must indeed go far from home to learn the news at home. We don't happen to know Prof, John William Burgess, but we should think that as an educational curiosity he might be worth knowing. To de clare protection almost obsolete in the United States of all the countries ol the world is an exhibit of freakishness in superior intellectual culture that should command a permanent place in some museum. Suitably embalmed and adequately spiced the remains could for centuries to come be dis played in a case bearing the inserip tion: "Strange example of mental ec centricity: a college professor who told the Germans in 1900 that the Unit ed States had discarded the economic policy which at that very moment was in full operation and was effective in preventing the Germans from captur ing the great American market." Re ferring to the present epoch, if he could give positive assurance to the German exporters that protection is now or is about to become obsolete in the United States, it would be a great deal of money in John William's pocket. Not So Very Wise. "Few ears are closer to the ground than those of Hon. Shelby Moore Cul lom. When that wise old bird pipes for tariff revision it is time for the stand patters to wonder if the sacred and immortal tariff is a good risk."— N. Y. Sun. There have been times when this same "wise old bird" mistook what he heard with his ear close to the ground. For example, three or four years ago, he was certain that Kasson's foolish bunch of "reciprocity" treaties were going to be ratified with a rush. The treaties were smothered and never saw daylight. Again, a little more than a year ago, he told the Chi cago reciprocity conference that the Dingley schedules were sufficiently high to serve as a maximum from which reciprocity concessions might be made. That idea has just been re pudiated at the polls. Now the "wise old bird" is eager for an extra session of congress to monkey with the tariff rates. The country has also pro nounced against that, and the presi dent is not likely to be in any such hurry to plunge the business of the country into the vortex of tariff dis turbance. There is a wise old bird called the owl, which sees best after dark and does nothing but blink and blunder in the daylight. The Panic Party. They tell us that trusts are in favor of Republican principles. The trusts are in favor of prosperity—the same as every individual should be in favor of prosperity. That is the only rea son. The black hand of Democracy makes capital tremble. It means de struction of great enterprises. It means empty pockets. It means hunger and financial cyclone. It means more than that. It means that the rag-tag and bobtailed element which wants free lunch and which never prospered would take control —and with Democracy in control it means a panic. No ono wants another panic like the one of '93. But Democracy gave us that, and, put it.in power again, the panic must come.—Moravian Falls (N. C.) Yel low Jacket. NEBOGATOFF And Three Other Officers Get Death Sentences. A COURT-MARTIAL That Has Been Trying Russian Naval Officers Returns Its Verdict — Mercy Is Recommended. St. Petersburg, Russia.—The court martial which had been trying Rear Admiral Nebogatoff and 78 ofiicers of his squadron for surrendering to the Japanese at the Battle of the Sea of Japan, on May 29, 1905, handed in its decision last night. Vice Admiral Nebogatoff, Commander Lichinof, of the ironclad General Admiral Aprax ine; Rear Admiral Gregorieff, of the ship Admiral Senivian, and Lieut. Smirnoff, who succeeded to the com mand of the battleship Nicolai 1., were sentenced to death, but in view of ex tenuating circumstances and the long and otherwise blameless careers of these officers, the court will petition the emperor to commute their sen tences to ten years' imprisonment in a fortress. Four other officers are sen tenced to short terms of imprisonment in a fortress, while tl#e remainder are acquitted of the charges brought against them. The tiiul of Roar Admiral Nobogr.t off and the officers of his squadron be gan in St. Petersburg on September 5. The accused were divided into th. • • categories. First —Rear Admiral Nebogatoff and the commanders of the battleships. Second—The officers who advocated the surrender. Third —The officers who did not en deavor to prevent the surrender. The first group of officers was tried under that paragraph of the navy regulations which provides for the punishment by death of any com mander of a squadron or ship who sur renders without a fight when he could save his crew or inflict damage upon the enemy. The sentences passed upon Nebo gatoff and the three commanders are similar to those handed down in the cases of the naval officers who were condemned by court-martial for sur rendering the torpedo boat destroyer Bedovi to the Japanese. These sen tences were coupled with a similar recommendation to the emperor for mercy and such intercession generally has proved successful. A VICTORY FOR THE STANDARD. Judge Duncan Decides that Probate Courts Have No Jurisdiction in Suits Brought Under Anti- Trust Law. Findlay, O. —Judge Duncan in a decision rendered Monday finds that the probate court, has no jurisdic tion in the Standard Oil cases against whom information was filed July 12, 1906, by Prosecutor David. The latter states that as soon as he gets more light from the court he will renew the prosecutions. Judge Duncan announced that he would render his decision as to the in dictments against John D. Rockefeller, M. G. Vilas, J. M. Robertson and H. P. Mcintosh in a few days. In his decision Monday Judge Dun can finds as follows: "A court of common pleas has power to review proceedings and judg ments of the probate court in misde meanor cases, under Section 7356, Re vised Statutes, although the two courts may have concurrent original jurisdiction therein. "The probate criminal code con taining no provision whereby service may be had upon a corporation, the probate court has no jurisdiction to try either an individual or a corpora tion under the Valentine anti-trust law. "Section C 472, Revised Statutes, pro viding that the provisions governing criminal proceedings in the court of common pleas shall, so far as applic able, govern like proceedings in the probate court, was not intended as an aid to jurisdiction, and therefore does not authorize the probate court to bor row from the common pleas criminal code the provisions therein contained, providing a way to get a corporation into that court charged with a crimi nal offense. "The court of common pleas has ex clusive original jurisdiction in all criminal prosecutions under the Val entine anti-trust law." Collision Resulted in Three Deaths. Rochester, N. Y.—A light engine collided with passenger train No. 2 on the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg road at Ealey's crossing near Eagle, Monday. Michael Lynn, of Rochester, engineer, and Henry Gath, of Warsaw, fireman of the pas senger engine, were killed; George McNally, engineer of the light engine, was badly injured, and E. Palmer, fire man of the light engine, is reported to have been killed. Four People Burned to Death. Norfolk, Va. —The wife and child of Samuel Poyner, of Norfolk county, and the wife and child of William Grimstead, of Princess Anne county, were on Sunday night burned to death at the Grimstead house in Princess Anne county. Holdup Men Overlooked $3,000. Goldfieid, Nev. —Two masked men held up 17 occupants of the bar room of the Columbia hotel late Sunday night. The robbers secured $825 from the gambling games, but overlooked $3,000 which was in u safe. CURRENT VERSE. Trifles.

Do you remember them, the kindly folk Who thought of no reward, but met your need, Fully and freely—tliey gave little things, But who shall measure worth of kindly deed?
