Lostorville Lodger. Oongress is considering a pure food law that has boon recommended by the National Pure Food and Drug congress. The bill offered for the consideration of congrees muy not be perfect in all details tails but there is no doubt that some ouch measure would receive the support of the people without regard to party Foods and drugs have been so substi tuted and adulterated that it is now practically impossible for the consumer to tell whether ho is receiving and con suming a pure , honest product or n bnse imitation carrying with it injurious of- foots to the system. The bill has passed the house by an overwhelming vote aud htv ) been recommended to the nennto by the committee ou manufactures. It should certainly pass that body aud be enacted into a law. It requires honesty in manufacture and commerce and will not injure those conducting a legitimatn basinets. It ia intended to promote the public health aud protect the cousnmoi against fraud aud disease. The bill provides that the standard of food shall be fixed. Speaking on the bill Mr. Sohirm of Maryland is quoted as say ing : "Diseases of the stomach are on the increase iu the country , and the time has come when something must bo done to raise the standards of food wi cat. Our pantries havo'become re positories for harmful drugs , BO that it is not straugo that Americans take readily to the usa of medicines. We take drugs with our foods every day.

Why , the dining room , coald we look into the properties of the various things pot there as wholesome food , could wo nn- durnliuid the trno imhiro of the things wo cat , would impress us as a chamber of horrorB rather than nn n plnco for the upbuilding of the Byntem through wholesome foods , " TROOPS LEAVE WATERDUnY.

ABANDONS FIQHT FOR TOQA. Withdraws In Interest of Party Har mony Caucus to Be Held to Select Nominees and Thus Raise Seven Years' Deadlock. Dover , Del. , Kflli. 6. The sudden an nouncement yesterday afternoon that J. Edward AddlcUfl had withdrawn from the candidacy for United States ocnator , which ho has urged BO persistently - ently nlnco 1805 , created a sensation. The belief IB that the refusal of the United States senate to confirm United States District Attorney William Dyrno had the effect of bringing about the withdrawal. Union Republicans' choice for senator In place of Addtckn will probably bo Qovornor Hunn or Secretary of State Layton. State Sen ator Allee , the Addlcks leader , han re peatedly declared that he would not accept the United States aenatorshlp. Mr. Addlcks arrived hero from Wil mington about 1 o'clock , going direct to , the capltol. Ho was ushered Into ho parlor of the state house , where all of the twenty-one Union ttopublle- an members of the legislature were an- Gambled to meet him. The assemblymen - men received Mr. Adillcks with cheonj and ho appeared deeply meTed by the heartiness of the p-ootlnK. Im mediately after Mr. Addlcks arrived. Governor John Hunn , who ! called the peacemaker In Delaware politics , entered the parlor. After the parlors had been closed those outside hoard frequent bursts of applause and the rumor became general around the capltol that Mr. Addlckn was about to withdraw from the most remarkable political flrht In the history of thin country , a flcht which haa deadlocked three RCBBlonB I * the legislature and Bpllt the Republican partv Into fac tions. This rumor was confirmed after the cauciiB adjourned , when Mr. Ad dlcks tanned a statement , saying that ho withdraw In thn Intnrest of thn ' election of two Republican senators. The withdrawal of Addlcks leaves the senatorial muddle In a peculiar po sition. If the regular Republicans do not accept the proposition of the twen ty-one Union Republicans for a gen eral Republican caucus , then Addlcks again becomes a candidate. If they do accept It , Is believed they will have no chance to name a senator from their own faction , for the reason that the Addlcks Republicans will enforce the unit rule , claiming the right of the majority to select the caucus nom inees , Meantime the Democrats , ea ger to defeat Addlcks , may Induce the regulars to accept the proposition to support two men selected by th regulars.
