FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 1901.

MR. LANDIS was dropped from the board of trustees of Wabash college rather unceremoniously a few years ago, and he is again restored to sovereign power in a manner no less jerky.

THE noble red man proposes to fight the opening of the lands in the territory to settlers, and instead of fighting the act with knife and gun he has gone into the courts where he has much better chances of success. Mr, Lo is catching onto the ways of civilization in a way that counts.

INDIANAPOLIS Sun: The movement in many quarters of the state to compel saloons to obey the law appears not to be a mere form wave, but to be a lasting force. Saloonists will have to recognize, sooner or later, that it is to their best interests to comply with the wishes of a majority as expressed in acts of legislature.

THE vote on the railroad appropriation was a decisive one and about the only comfort left for the opposition is the fact that the money will not have to be expended for the stock until the road is built. In time, however, they will come to see that the taxes the road will pay, aside from its value in bringing business to this township, warranted the vote of Tuesday.

THE Louisville Times indulges in the following editorial growl, which is of local interest because some of the Tyson heirs live here: "Discoveries of heirs to the '$40,000,000 Tyson estate in Australia' are of daily occurrence, and later on it will in all probability be discovered that there is no Tyson estate, of 840,000,000 or other value, in Australia or elsewhere."

A SOUTH CAROLINA jury has upheld the infamous system of contract slavery by which ignorant negroes are forced to sell themselves as chattels if they expect to get a chance to work. The story of the abuses under this contract slavery 6hocked the whole country, but the outcry from humanitarians against it has proved of no avail. The outcry of the humanitarian accomplishes nothing against a profitable business. It will be noted that this occurred in the sunny south where the politicians gasp with horror every time they think of the "corporate greed" of the north.

THE free traders are reviving their gabble which was closed for a season by the disastrous administation of Cleveland. They will not, however, Tain this country to the notion that our protective tariff acts as a barrier against foreign trade. It does no such thing.£ Germany is more protectionist than we, yet her sales to South America are far ahead of ours and are increasing by leaps and bounds. With protectionist Germany frightening Cobdenite England almost into a funk with her commercial rivalry, the twaddle about "our Chinese wall" preventing exports would best be laid upon the shelf. Get rid too, of the notion that reciprocity is essential to commerce.

Reciprocity is a good thing, and will greatly help the extension of our export trade, but it is by no means necessary.

EVERY competent authority on Porto Rico now confesses that the island is much better off under the Foraker law than it would have been under the constitution. The recent complaints made by Porto Ricans in Washington are not against the Foraker law, but against the local tax law passed by the Porto Rican legislature to take the place of the tariff duties. A large body of the islanders say they prefer even now the tariff to the direct taxes which the opponents of the Foraker law sought to force them to last tyear, when their agriculture was ruined |by the hurri oane, and the only people who could pay taxesl without hardship were the mercantile classes, who were about to reap a rich harvest by the opening up of trade Jjwith the United States, on which they were asked to pay a trifling impostifor the (benefit of their own Island, Moreover, if the opponents of the Foraker law had had their way poor Porto Ricoirkwould not only have had to paylits own local expenses from this direct tax it

waB

too poor to meet

withouti hardship, but it would have had to turn into the United States treasury!-internal revenue taxes. Instead of wronging Porto Rico this country has distinctly favored her at every turn.

AMERICA'S INFLUENCE Al$ROAD. St. Louis Globe-Democrat". Without mentioning the name of America at all, and without making any reference to it, the dispatch from London telling about the reduction in the discount rate of the bank of England shows the prevalence of American inlluence on the other side of the Atlantic. The reduction in the bank of England's discount rate was a surprise to London. Many of the London brokers thought that their government must have received some good news from South Africa which had been withheld from the general public. This notion, in fact, seems to have been so general that Mr. Balfour told the house of commons that there was no foundation for the 6tories which this bank rate reduction appears to have incited that negotiations for peace with the Boers were under way by the British.

One of the chief reasons for the reduction in the bank of England's discount rate is the abundance of gold in the United States, which is at the service of any borrower, in England or anywhere else, who offers the requisite security. The United States treasury has almost one hundred million*dollars of gold in addition to its regular $150,000,000 redemption fund. The banks of the United are well supplied with the metal. Somewhere in the neighborhood of seventy million dollars from the gold mines of the UnitediStates will go to the mints in 1901, after making allowance for the gold that is used in the arts. England, as well as the rest of the world, knows all these things. America, in fact, has been furnishing gold to England, Germany, Russia and several other countries in large amounts in the past twelve months.

America is the great supply center for the world's needs in cash at this time. The fact that this country has more gold on hand than it can make profitable- use of is understood in London, Paris, Berlin, St. Petersburg and the rest of the great capitals. Whenever those centers want money which they are either unable or unwilling to obtain at home they know they can get it here. This fact has a steadying effect on the world's money markets. It is a fact which has much potency. Here is one of the reasons why the bank of England's discount rate has just been reduced when the general expectation in England was that it would either remain stationary or be advanced.

THE last of the Filipino rebel chiefs is coming in under the Hag. This must be in the nature of a body blow to Bryan and the rest of the "friends of liberty."

To Be Married.

IN BUYING FISH.

Simple Rules for tli« Qslduoe of tha Purchaser. Nothing is more difficult in marketing than to tell whether a fish has been properly killed. It should be killed as soon as taken from the water, but too frequently it is allowed to gasp itself to death and then treated so as to appear properly slaughtered. The only absolutely safe way is to buy a liv« fish and have It killed before one's •yes. This is not always practicable, but there aTe certain rules which, if observed, will result in the purchaser getting fish of good quality. Fish purchased killed must not smell any different from ordinary flsh odors: they must have their natural color, and should never be covered with slime. When the meat is slimy and fatty it proved that the fish is not fresh. Fish, the meat of which looks bleached, with spots on the skin, sunken eyes and discolored mouth and gills, should not be bought under any consideration. Fresh water fish must be of brilliant color, the scales must adhere closely to the body, the eyes must be clear, the gills rosy. Slimy fish, with the scales loose and projecting from the body, are spoiled and very unwholesome. Dead eels are easily told by the odor from the mouth, whloh Is offensive, and spoiled salmon can also be recognized by the color of the meat, which turns yellow and even brown when too far (one. Salmon in this condition is very dangerous to life.

Th® "Social Secretary.M

The "social secretary" has made his appearance, and he gives promise of being a useful institution. As defined, he is a specially qualified person who is employed in stores, factories and all kinds of industrial establishments to bring about a happier state of comity not only among the employes in mu* tual co-operation and consideration, and in bettering their condition, if necessary, but also in acting between employer and employed.

Angell Opposes Charity Balls. Arrangements have been partially made for a charity ball in the gym« nasium at Ann Arbor university oo December 14, but the affair was declared off, President Angell having hinted that he does not entirely approve of having a dance there. H* thinks there are other and better ways of aiding the poor.
