He lives therepart of the time, managing his paper by tele- graph and indulging his fads. of which he has a number, and he is right. No ' roan is wholly happy without fads. One of Editor Medill's fads is the fountain of youth, which he described to a newspa- per correspondent lately. The fountain . itself is in the San Bernardino mountains and is nothing else than a great reservoir of melted snow. The snow water is the purest in the world, Mr Medill thinks, and lie drinks it in great quantity, so that it will wash away the lime in his system It' is lime ' in the system that makes people get old and die, in the judgment of The Trib: ‘wle's veteran editor. Mr. Medill him- self is now 78 years old and bashed time to get considerable lime into him. This choked him up, blood and bones, till it gavehim rheumatic gout. He went to various springs in Europe and America to get cured, but all were no good. Then hestudied into the science of rheumatism ‘ , and gout and concluded drinking dis- tilled water would wash out the lime that had gathered about his joints. That helped some, but it was reserved for the snow water of San Bernardino to com- W 1 plete the cure. It is not eating so much as drinking that fills the body up with line, he contends. If, therefore, man- kind will flush themselves, so to speak. with chemically pure water, they will clear themselves out and stave off old ago. Mr. Medill claims that he is re- newing his youth on snow water. «I. Bay Good Words. The teacher who educates your chil- dren toils on year after year doing her duty and often more than her duty.

Hereafter its sewers will be regularly and thoroughly flushed. A11 abundant supply of water will be carried to the city from two lakes south of it and sent through its length and breadth. In a climate as warm as that of Mexico the effect of this cleanliness will be very great on the health of the people. The best perfumes command, extrava- gantly high prices. An attempt is being made in Jamaica to establish a plant for the manufacture of perfumes. la the mild climate there flowers can be grown with ease and in great abundance, and it is proposed to turn this fact to com- mercial account.

McLenuan, of this city. in the recent libel suit against the Watertown Times, in which he sets forth in a proper and commando. blo light the duty of the newspaiwrs, is receiving strong approval from the news- papers. not only in this state but various sections of the (wintry . The victim of a horse trade in Jeffer- son county told his story to the Water- mwu Times, which printed it, and in consequence the horse trader brought a suit bbth against the newspaper and its informant. Justice 1111mm 1n charg. ing the jury declared that if the trade was a swindle and if the horse trader in cousummating the deal was a swindler and wwtiug in that capacity, he could not maintain his action against either of the defendants. The Justice moreov er insisted that if the swindle was being perpetrated upon the people of Jefferson county and upon the defendant, it was not only the right, but the duty of the Waterlown Timesto say so and were people against its pcrpetration. In concluding the Justice laid down the maxim that “any reputable news- paper owes a duty to the community in which it is being circulated to oppose fraud. to expose sWindle, and expose swindlers, and if they do it in good faith and keep within the feels, they are not liable for action for libel." The jury brought in a verdict of no cause of action. Justice McLennau'a charge will undoubtedly stand as good law and will be widely approved. It is, indeed, the duty of the public press to expose fraud, and they should be'upheid by the courts in an honest and conscientious effort to discharge that duty. The public is immeasurably benefited by such exposures, and the newepaper is doings public service when it exposes frauds and swindlee upon the commu- nity. w \'1- wspapcr Adv-11111.11... Pays B1111.

Taking the average export value of cotton per bale at .50, these increased European purchases of raw cotton elone add $00,000,000 to the value of our ex- port trade and tend to increase the bal- ance of trade largely in our favor. But it is a question whether this increase in our cotton exports can consequently in- crease our balance of trade as ai'gtor- , able factor or not. We believe thit it does not. While Europe has been buy- Q lug more American raw cotton. italso appears that during the same period our home spinners, the American manufac- turers. have taken 262.000 bales less of raw cotton than last year'and 634,000 bales less than two years ago. ,,, This points to but one conclusion—that the American cotton or ~lufacturers are making a smaller quantity of cotton goods than they did either in 1803 or 1802, and consequently that the amount of capital employed in the cotton mills is not so reproductive, and. further. that both the number of hands employed in . the mills and the wages paid to them. must be smaller. i The increased demand for American7 raw cotton by European countries clear- ly points to the fact that in anticipation of the lower duties to be levied under the Wilson bill upon cotton manufac- tured goods imported from foreign coun- tries the foreign manufacturers are pre paring to lav in a supply of raw ma- terial in order that they may be in a position to take advantage of the freer trade offered them by the Wilson bill and supply the American market with cotton goods made in Europe. to the exclusion ~of American goods, to the deb riment of our mills and manufacturers and to the serious injury of our Ameri can labor U nder such conditions as these whichi are clear and condom 1- we can certain: 7 ly not regard with eiiuanimity any in-; crease in the balance of trade in our favor, which is gained at a much greatet subsequent loss to our industries and, our ,. labor.

The cry for prompt action on the tarill Question has again been urged in some quarters mainly by those who find them. selves doing less business than formerly and who are willing to surrender the great cause and principle of protection for a possible pecuniary gain. This is wrong. entirely and utterly wrong. Should this teasellated tarifl become law and go into effect next July. only four months before the congressional elections. the country will be doomed to experience the evil effects of the policy of prostration for a period of nearly four years-certainly till after the‘great de- stroying angel has left the White House. There is no reason why the teasellated tarifl should not be further delayed for a few months. There has hitherto been no such great desire to force it upon the people. No special session of congress was deemed necessary for its considers: tiou. It allects ,the people and elect: them vitally. Any effort made now to rush this measure, before the people have had an opixlrtunity of expressing their will in November, will be a cowardly act. it sheets the people. It lowers their wages. Let the people say if they want their wages lowered. Facts I’or farmers. The duty on hops on an ad valorem basis of 20 per cent will average from 2 to 8 cents per pound. The farmers of New York state must again be content with from 0 to l0 cents per pound for their hope instead of the is and 20 cents they have been getting under the Me- Kinley taritf. But the British beer trust will make more money. Senator Hill should look into this matter. With prime cattle worth less than .10 per head in Australia and meat upon the free list, it is quite possible that We may become an importer of colonial meat.
