We again call attention to the dishonest
practice of substituting an inferior article for
that which is demanded, oh the. ground that
the one substituted is "just as good.'
: The druggist who indulges in the game of
substitution is open to criticism from many
points of view. - 1
In the first plaeel he is ungrateful to the
men who manufacture, and who, through
widespread publicity, promote the druggist's
business and profits.

THE DEMOCRATIC FAILURE.
("- ' "- " ' r ' t::--r
The, Hon. Arthur Pue- Gorman, ac-
cf dl'iig ;t& the Cleveland Leader, has
said to- the Hon. James Matthews
Griggs, chairman of the Democratic
Congress Campaign Committee, that
the "Democrats cannot win the next

grateful as well as iahonestfor the druggist
to prevent the normal sale, and iorthe sake
of a few extra pennis to substitute an inferior
article.-.: r .. .
. Substitution is dishonest toward the public.
The druggist is asked for a certain remedy
or oher well known! and valuable article.
He replies that he, has something else "just
as goodM or better, and often adds :
"I make this' myself and know just what
it contains." . -'fir !. ?; -. .'-
As a matter of fact, he v rarely; or never
makes it" himself, he does not know wKat it
contains. He simply patronizes- One of the

If a druggist offers you 'something "just as
good," you may be sure that he has not a very
high opinion of your intelligence or of your
importance. He does not tell his best custom
ers what they want to buy, he does not tell
7, .... ' ; . i
them that they don !t know what they want,
lie takes good care j to give them just what
they ask for, because he wants to keep their
custom. . i
For those whom he considers, inferior or
transient customers he reserves i his phrases
about something "just as good" that he makes
"himself. . ; - ; ''1 1 ' - . .-1- '
It you ask a druggist for a certain article
and he offers you something else "just as
good," tell him that yoti know what you-want,
and that you will patronize a drug store that
gives you, credit for ordinary intelligence.
Y611 might ask the clerk who wants you to
take something" "just "as jgood" whether he
will accept a button in place of the half dol
lar owing him, on the ground that the button
is "just, as good," and that you know person
ally what it contains. p f
The substituting druggist who wants a dol
lar will not accept anything else as "just as
good." He reflects on your intelligence; he
thinks that you don't know what you want,
or believes that you will not insist on hav
ing it. ' - j, 'j: ; ""-' . :
The'system of substitution encourages ad-;
ulteration of goods, and encourages dishon
esty. It discourages the work of energetic
men. It is theiluty of the public to stop "the .
practice, and hat it can easily do by patron
izing merchants who keep and sell what the
public wants. New: York Evening Journal.
nt home to England. For three years he
amused himself in a fairly becoming manner,
doing no work at. all, and at the end of that
time, having spent all his money, he returned
to the Pacific Coast and again became .he
mate of a steamboat. Meanwhile the master,
who was Scotch and of a saving turn, clapped
his money into a hank and went on with his
steamboat ing. Just about the time when the
mate came back from England the master died
and his money was divided among nephews
and nieces in the old country. His thrift had
kept himfrom getting any . use out of his
money. VI course the spendthrut mate was
toolish and he may diein the.poorhouse some
dayj but was he more foolish than the Scotch
master ? Not a whit. He hadrthree years of
fun while the captain was toilingand he lias
a fair chance still of escaping the poorhouse.
This question has still another aspect. Sup-J

SPENDING AND WASTING MONEY.
There is a great difference between spend
ing money and wasting-money. It is wise to
spend money, but the fool ish man is he. who
wastes it. . . 1! - ; - j ; J
The man who makes a point of gettinghis
money's worth will not suffer by spending.
Money, after all, was made to be, spent; and
it is ridiculous to .stint; one's self of neces
saries in order to hoard up gold in the bnlc
When a man 'feels hungry lethim buy enough
to eat, by all means, if he has the money. To
barely appease the appetite with coffee land
doughnuts when it creaves steak and veget
ables is the' trick of a mean and parsimonious
mind. To wear shabby clothes and faded
hats when one, can afford to dress well is sheer
depravity. To stint one's self j of innocent
pleasures because they, cost a few cents is to
make a god of money. There is only one life
for each of us, and it is prudent to take iLe
advice of the Latin poet and seize the present
moment: Life may end tomorrow and a man
must go naked and emptyrhanded into the
hereafter. Money in bank and negotiable secur
ities are of no use to a dead man. (Joramon

onej. to suffer and starve during youth and
middle age -when his capacity for enjoyment
is large that he may. have plenty in the last

The middle course is the safe road, as the
same Latin poet used to remark. Tlie Snn

General Estrado Pal ma became President of
Chiba the following Tuesday. The prospects
of a successful' administration of the affairs
of Spain are1' greatly improved by the fact that
Cuba is no longer a Spanish colony. The
trade and domestic relational of the two coun
tries are closer now than they have, been for
years. The Spanish are emigrating to Cuba,
and at the present timer ther are few signs of
the old animosity between the two races. A
correspondent who accompanied - President
Palma on his tour through! Cuba , says that
Spaniards participated in the welcome accord
ed the' President-elect? In many cases Span

Some weeks ago
w7
there was considerable apprehension as to t
attitude the Spanish element of the popula
tion would assume toward the new govern
ment. It was known that jmany of the mora
prosperous Spaniards preferred American t4
Cuban rule; Whether they wouldpermit their
preference to bring them jmtp collision with
the Cuban leaders was a question to be'deter
mined after the assumption of the control of
affairs by the Cubans The Spanish were
inclined to favor thenneation of Cuba to
the United States for two jreaons: First, the
assurance the American Government would
give of tranquillity ; second, the hope that an
nexation would hold out of ; free trade between
the mainland and the island,
v Questions of politics often resolve them
selves into questions of material conditions.
People quickly become reconciled to a govern
ment or a policy which brings prosperity. The
free American, market for? their sugar, tfieir
tobacco, their fruit and other tropical pro
ducts would soon, make Cuba one of the rich
est countries in the world. ; The conditions of
soil and climat are such .that sugar can be
produced at less cost than in other cane sugar
producing countries, and at About one-half the
cost Of beet sugar. There are varieties of Cu
ban obacco thatare to thejweed what the best
French champagne is to wine. The Cubans
might not be willing to, sacrifice their inde
pendence for. any degree of material prosper
ity, but the SpanishVlement of the island's
population is less enthusiastic over Cuban na
tionalit"yand perhaps evenj more appreciative
of the advantages of the Anierican market. ;
THE NATIONS AND WIRELESS
TELEGRAPHY.
The conflicting claims of a number of in
ventors and adapters have brought about a
curious situation in . the matter of wireless
telegraphy. Inasmuch' as Some European gov
ernments, notably that of
or less involved in the con
entees, it is believed that an international con-

In time of war it is a Very easy matter to
cut cables and interrupt communication, as
was shown in , our last naval' skirmish with
Spain. The status of the ocean cable is also
dependent in time of peaeel upon the attitudes
of t'- fSvrirr,'r""st in -n-V' tTrifrv ils fcr-
wireless comrnunica tion cannot be interrupted
in this way. A system, however, which tivs
the universal ether for the transimssion of its
messages is one that may properly call for
some international understanding regarding
its employment for ocean telegraphy.
The situation is complicated by the altitude
of Germany, which has apparcntlyNrestric,vl
its territory to the operations of the Blab
yarco system,' while Jilarconi is lknt upon; es
tablisldng his patents in America. The claims
made in England that the apparatus invented
and patented by Prof. Oliver Lodge of Lon
don, and put into practical operation in 1891
antedates all other patents, that tie was first
in the field and is now master of ther situation.
By way of adding to the complexity of the
situation the claim is made that "none of the
wireless telegraph companies has patent
rights which are legally binding.' This is
nthe, opinion of Rear Admiral Bradford, under
whoseaupervision the wireless telegraph is be
ing experimented with by the Navy LVpart-
ment.
Concerning tlreresults attained by the ex
periments thus far theiUectrical Review says;
It seems today as of some of the more spec
tacular results that have , been obtained have
been due to the use of secret methods and not
to those disclosed in the patents on filein the
rvarious patent offices. - .

monopolyof the ether for transmitting signals
will haturallyMncrease the need of some inter
national understa

It should be very gratifying to the Ameri
can people the way that foreigners' are flock
ing jto this country to study our edeaional
and industrial systems. The French Govern
ment recently appropriated a vast sumto
send students to America to be made familar
with bur institutions and the factors that have
made us great. The English are now taking a
deep interest in our educational system and
are sending out a commission to make a study
of it and report. M. E. Sadler, director of
inquiries and reporter for the Board of Edu-f
cation for England and Wales, has arrived in
this country; Mr. Sadler is deeply interested
in the plan of Alfred Mosley, the r English
capitalist, to send. a commission to .various
countries to study and report on educational
affairs. The commission will go firsts to Ger
many, Mr. Sadler says, and then come to this
country, where, it will arrive probably late
next October. Each member of the commis
sion will write his personal views and all will
be published in attractive form. "The exam
pie set by your American moneyed men has
had an immense influence in England," said
Mr. Sadler, "and has led'some of our leading
capitalists to take an interest' in education,
and to devote some of their money, to making
English schools and educational institutions
more effective. I consider the commission
proposed by Mr. Mosely one of the most in
teresting moves in this direction which has
yet been undertaken, and consider it a great
matter that he bears all the expense of the
project from his private funds."

The labor troubles in Portland have nar
rowed down to a contest between the building
trades and the planing mill men; ' It is serious
enough as it is, on account of the fact that
it ties up important building, operations, and

that city, and at the opening of the most ac

before long. The matter will be easier of solu
