The President ami Germany.
OT THK LEAST liUcrestins
part of the president's me
witjp was IN tillus'lon to the
ulitthns of the United
States with the (leimnn empire. Tlnve
t pronounced most cordial, adding: "In
alt that piomlfes eloefielatlons of In
ti fetnirse and eonimeiee and n better
undi I'standltiK between two races hav
ing so many nulls In eonimon. Ger
man run be assured of the most cor
tllol eo-opeiatlon of this government
nnd people. We may be rivals In
many material paths, but our llvalry
shnuld be Kftieious and open, ever aim
ni; toward the attainment of larger
results and the mutually benellelul ntl
Mimement of t.ieh In the line of Its
especial adaptabilities."
This Is the. answer of large-minded
M.it smaiishlp to the small-potato tac
tli s of busybodh's who have sought to
i nib.u r.iss anil eomplleutu the feelings
btueen the two nallons. Hut this Is
ii'it all the piesldent said. The best
pan is to come:
Tlii seviial Koteinmcnth of the empire
si in leluctnnt In admit the u.itniiil ex
it Hi in of irir fooil piuiliit tluiis and to
iei.pt the I'viib'uee m eonstimtly temlrt

t-Mioiti'd food bt.iples invites cxunilmi
tlim from any ipiarter and eliallcngi s :e
(poet by Its elllclmt thornughnis. It
Is to be hoped that 111 time the two
governments will net In common aceonl
toward the realization of their common
purpose to safeguard the public health
and to Insure the purity and wholesome
ness of all food products Imported by
either country fiom the other. Were
the congress to uuthnri7i an Invitation
to Germany, In connection with the
periling reciprocity negotiations, for tho
constitution of a joint commission it
scletitlllc expi rts nnria practical men of
nff.iirs to conduct n searching investiga
tion of food production and exportation
in both eo.intrles and icport to their re
spective legislatives for the adoption of
such remedial measures as they might
recommend for cither, the wav might be
oprneil for the desirable result Indicated."
In this parag-aph we read the presi
dent's answer to tho German agtailans
who, In season nnd out of season,
rea onably and unreasonably, have
fought the Introduction Into German
maikets of Ameiican food product-",
even when the exclusion of those pio
due ts worked to German consumers .1
loss not counterbalanced by any vis
ible gain. Hhould congress Invite Ger
many to make an Independent Investi
gation of all our exporting processes
Germany could not well iefu.se, for if
she did It would be a confession of wil
ful blindness; and, having accepted In
good faith and named men of charac
ter to Inquire Into American methods,
the truth would out In spite of agrarian
opposition.
Advices from Hcilln thus tell of the
message's reception In that capital:
"The Germr Mvernment and press al
most unanimously welcome President
McKlnley's message to co- giess. Kvcn
the agiarlan papers, nlways opposed
to things Ainerlenn, grudgingly admit
that the message Is fair and honest.
The ill if t of private comment Is vir
tually tho same, Emperor William, If
Is reliably repented, had a long consul
tation with Count Von IJuelow, the
foreign minister, and expressed him
self as verv much alenscd with Presi
dent McKlnley's attitude toward Ger
many. It Is nlso repotted that his
majesty dlncused the best mode of
giving olllclal voice to the feelings of
the crown and the government. In any
event, on December 12, the clay fixed
for the frst leading of the budget,
Count Yen IJuelow will seize the op
portunity of showing Germany's high
appieclatlon of the ftlendly tone of the
message."
Further than this. Count Von Huelow
gave for publication the following aa
his Impression of the message: "Count
Von Huelow tegards the message as nil
enunciation memorable In the dvvelup
JUent of German-American frlundshlp.
The warm tone In which the president
ppenks of our mutual telatlons has
Treated here the best Impression, and
one may bu sure that the sympathy ex
hibited by the president for Germany
Hie here sincerely leciptocaled. Politi
cally everything between the two coun
tries Is ei une. and there Is nothing that
disturbs the entenete eotdlale. Kcouo
mlcallj considered, the contents and
tone of the message strengthen the
hope that the United States, with their
Increasing exports to Germany, will
make fair concessions to German trade,
and that the reciprocity negotiations
ulll be further conducted In a friendly
spirit to n good end."
It Is true that actions spenk louder
than words; but It wns only the other
any that, at the German chancellor's
pergonal request, a bill in the relchstag
dealing a mnnRhlng agrarian blow at
Ameiican imports wns withdrawn
from consldeiatlon on the plea that Its
enactment would bo Incompatible with
the best Interests of the empire. Put
ting two and two together, it it safe
to, say in tho matter of American ie
Utlona with Germany that mora files
nre to bo caught by molasses than
vinegar. "
The members of tho permanent army
staff at Washington are reported to
b6 rip snorting mad a( Beerutary Hoot
fp'r daring to intimate that they ought
ri;t ta,Utupi'cpct.uaUjd,l:i-vat.!moe,
far from the danger of shot and
shell. Wo ndvlso theso gentry to keep
their indignation within bounds. If
they venture to cross swords with
Kllliu Hoot tlio.v nre quite liable to
Ket liutt. One of the conditions upon
which Mr. Hoot took u'Hcu was that
no politician, not oven tho president
himself, was to interfere along purely
political lines In matters vital to the
army's wclfnro and we suspect from
the looks of the man that the secre
tary means business.
Trusts.
FIHST OK ALL, what Is the
law? In the states the law
varies, going all tho way
from practically nothing, as
In Jersey, to virtual confiscation jf
corpotate property under the "stop,
trust!" cry, us In some of the Populls
tle western states. These discrepan
cies In state legislation with reference
to combinations tending to restrain
trade enable trusts to organize In fa
vorable states nnd Incidentally invade
unfavorable states under the power
lessness of the unfavorable states to
regulate Interstate commerce.
tn the Addystone Iron Pipe company
case, Just passed upon by the supreme
court, the Sherman anti-trust act '.s
again upheld In a vigorous opinion by
Justice Peckham; that Is to say, the
combination which deliberately sets
out to lestraln or interfere with inter
state commerce, Is outlawed; but Judge
Peckham In the opinion referred to, us
well as Attorney General Griggs In his
recent Issued annual teport, both say
that this prohibition of the Sherman
act does not cover the operations of
corporations which affect Interstate
commeice only In an Incidental man
ner. Says Mr. Peckham on this point:
We do not hold Hint every private en
terprise which may be carried on chief
ly or In part by means of Interstate
shipments Is to lie regal ded an related
to lntertato commerce so (is to come
within the regul-iting power of congress.
Such enterprises may bo of the same
nature an the manufacturing of retlneii
sugar; that Is, the patties may bo en
gaged us manufacturers of a commodity
whli li they thcicaftir Intend ut some
time to sell, and possibly to sell In an
other state; but such sale wo have ul
read held Is nn Incident to and not tho
direct result of the manufacture, nnd
ro Is not a regulation of or an llleg'it
Interference with Interstate commerce.
The rea.son for this distinction Is
thus indicated by the attorney general:
If the federal government has consti
tutionally the power to regulate by legis
lation all contracts and combinations in
manufacture, agriculture, mining and nil
the vast Held of productive Industry, lrr
eluding the employment of labor and the
linestment of capital, wheto not tho di
rect but only tho incidental or ultimate,
n suit may affect interstate commerce,
then, ns pointed out by Chief Justice Ful
ler, It Is impossible to say what, if
anything, of the ordinary business of life
would remain for state regulation or
control.
The Addystone Pipe company case
was that of a pool entered Into with
out loss of Identity by six corporations
Intentionally, It Is alleged, to bleed con
sumers. Hy reason of the fact that six
sep.it ate organizations were main
tained, representing three states, the
"pool" constituted, in the eyes of the
supremo court without dissent a re
straint upon Interstate commerce; but
had the six corporations all merged
into one, having its headquarteis In a
single state (as for Instance, Jersey)
and then pi decoded to do business in
tho other states of the Union "Inciden
tally," the inference Is that the su
preme court would have obligingly dis
missed the proceeding ns not lying
within tho circle of federal Jurisdiction
but belonging rather to tho several
states.
Tho drawing by congress of a clearer
line of demarcation between what con
stitutes and what does not constitute
restraint upon Interstate commerce is
one needed step toward solving tho
ttust problem, and another consists In
federal control of chai ter privileges af
fecting commerce between the states.
This would call for a constitutional
amendment.
Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire,
has apparently become worried over
the danger of swelled heads at West
Point and Annapolis, as he has offered
a bill to Increase the course of physi
cal training nt those national Institu
tions of learning. Whether the antics
of certain mllltnry nnd naval gradu
ates have Impressed the senator that
too much brain development is a dan
gerous thing or whether he attended
the recent loot ball game between rep
resentatives of the two academies and
drew conclusions thetefrom Is not stat
ed. The Army Canteen.
T IS STHANC.K how easily mere
clamor yields before the pres
ence of a dctei mined man. This
was strikingly i'lustiated over
in France by the manner In which
"Old Sllverbelly." the marquis do CJ-il-llfet,
put to 1'lght the mutinous gen
erals and squclchd the Dteyfus ex.
cltement bv sheer force of personal
will. The name thing Is occurring In
our own country, In u smaller way and
here, us In France, the man of the
hour Is tho secretary of war.
For years, as all know, there has
been a growing clamor with reference
to the armv canteen. Temperance
theorists have demanded its abolition
und presidents, war secretaries and
membeis of congress have been de
luged with petitions oe nearly driven
to drink by perfonal Intercession In
support of the doing away of tho
authorized sale nt aimy posts of light
wines nnd beets. The ttvmy men all
know that fucIi abolition would bu
practically ruinous to tho welfare of
the mn, since It would drlvo them
for amusement beyond the lines, into
the grog shops and brothels which
hover, vult.no like, In tho wako of
I every military encampment. Hut
even some cf the grizzled war veterans
blanched before the attack of the tem
perance legions or were stampeded
Into signing recommendations regard
ing the canteen which their own ex
perience and better judgment ron
condemncd. Not so with Ellhu Ttoot. When the
wavo of sentlmentallsm bore down
upon him, he caused an exhaustive
Inquiry to bo made as to the faetn
and then in his nnnv.ul report said:
"Thft practical question to ba consld-
-keted Is not whether FOldlcrs should
drink or not diink, but whether they
should bo permitted to drink beer In
the camp, surrounded by tho restrain
ing influences of discipline nnd good
association, or whether they should
bo driven to think bad whiskey in th
vile resorts which cluster uround th't
limits of every military post and
enmp, nnd especially around thnso l.t
which prohibition is maintained." In
quiry nmong army oftlcers, the secre
tary concluded, resulted In overwhelm
ing testimony to tho effect that the
canteen regulation promotes tho disci
pline, morals nnd health of tho en
listed men. Accordingly the canteens
will stay.

him. Stevens was paralyzed, you

IiIb legs went back on him: and si.
John Chauncey carried him about, and
attended him night and dav as a

When he hud concluded Benton turned
to depart without replying. With ap
patently a second thought, however,
he halted apd faced Green.

pclntees. It became- Clayton's duty at one

cit whiskey. It was not a very serious
Infraction of tho law, but tho old
backwoodsman hnd been reckless In
his open violation, and It was nr.ces
saty to make an example of him. Ho
wan brought Into court, and after tho
government hnd stated his case, tho
otd man, who had no lawyer, asked to
be allowed to go upon tho stand. He
wis told that this would nnder him
liable to answer any questions, but he
Insisted,
"Well, ttncle John,' fald Clayton,
"did you really make r.ny whiskey In
your still?"
"Henry," replied tho old man, with
pathetic tone, "I know'd ycitr pa: I
voted for your pa every time he ran
for Jedge. And, Henry, your pa would
never have axed me n' question llky
that!"
The Jurors laughed, tho court smiled
and Clayton relented. The old man
drove home that right.

SOME SPONGE ON THE DOCTOR.
Doctors nowadays give away medicine much more generally than
in former years, and the manufacturing chemists who supply com
pressed tablets report of late numerous orders and applications from
physicians fora tablet that shall be "equivalent to a Ripans Tabule."
There is really little reason why a physician should buy an imitation
when the genuine Ripans Tabu'les can be had on just about as good
terms, and there is nothing about them to enable a patient to recog
nize them. The Ripans Tabules look just like any other tablet of the
same size and color, and the genuine are only to be recognised with
certainty by the universally good results that follow their use. The
Ripans Chemical Co. supply their product to the profession on specially
favorable terms, because it is for their advantage that every doctor
shall become so familiar with the merits of Ripans Tabules that he will
