Adulterated Food.

It is enough to shake our confidence
in human nature to find that there
are men who, for the sake of gain, will
bring torture and death, not only to
their fellow beings, but Upon meek de-
fenseless animals that patiently wear out
their lives in our service. Not long
since an English paper announced that
in Manchester many horses have died
after intense suffering. The cause of
death was investigated, and it was found
that the dealer who supplied the food
with which the horses had been. fed had
added a quantity of plaster of paris to
give it additional weight, and that this
plaster With the food and water formed
solid mass which completely obstructed
the passage through the stomach and
intestines. It is we'll known in our own
country that there are manufacturers
VINO sell clay for red pepper, alum for
cream of tartar, and who deal out de-
structi0n to little children IL the form OF
candies made from glucose and kaolin,
and covered with vermillion. It is high
time something were done to abate, if not
abolish, these abuses. Legislation seems
!. pOwerless TO do so, and the only way APP
pears to be to expose these fraudulent
practices and instruct the people how to
escape them. The counterfeit which is
to day doing the greatest and most wide-
spread mischief is the substitution of
alum for cream Of tartar. In certain in
stances, alum, when taken into the
stomach, has acted as poison, and many
cases of death have occurred from 1t.
It's repeated contact, even in small guam
titles, acts destructiyely on mucuous
membranes, producing a chronic itrita-
tion of the throat, stomach and intesti-
nal canal. The most painful and obsti-
nate cases of dyspepsia have been caused
by continued use OF food containing alum.
We formerly advised people to obtain
pure materials and make their own bak.
ing powdersi buC we found from expert.
enCe that this was impraCticable for the
reason that it is difficult to find pure
cream of tartar, and still more difficult
to combine the materials in the proper
proportions, if we had them pure. We
conclude, therefore, that the safest plan,
and the most economical, is to purchase
baking powders that are made by reliable
manufacturers. There are few reliable
concerns of this kind; but recent investi-
cations indicate that there are ten that
Adulterate their goods to one that sells
pure article. We recently purchased in
neighboring city, for examination, one
pound of loose baking powder that is,
not canned-and four cans of one pound
each, of different makers, whose goods we
knew nothing about. We found the
package of loose baking powder composed
wholly of crude carbonate of soda, or
soda ash, and alum. Can No. 1 was a
m xture of bicarbonate of soda, alum,
tartaric acid and corn starch. No. 2
was bicarbonate of soda, alum and a trace
tartaric acid. No. was found perfectly
pure, and had the ingredients combined
in proper proportions.-HaWs Journal

bear to have the truth told about him,
he should not allow himself to become a
figure head on the democratic ticket.
It evidently makes difference with
The Democrat whose OK is gored. There
is no Islander too foul for democrats to
circulate about republicans, but they
don't like to see their chickens coming
home to roost. Republican office holders
are assailed by democrats and denounced
as thieves, and while The Democrat has
not gone so far as to include those in
this city in the category, some members
of its party have done SO, and thereby
justified all that has been said, and more
too, in retaliation. But unlike the demo-
Gratis spoken OF who are so reckless in
their charges we propose to adhere strict
ly to facts, and shall not say, as we have
not said, anything about Mr.. Kusel or
any other democratic candidate which
cannot be substantiated.

TNENT FOR SLA YES HOPED
FOR

Macon Ga.) Telegraph and Messenger (Dem)
We cannot but indulge the hope that
when we have helped to extinguish the
public debt, and time had healed the gap
ing wounds OF the past; when reason and
brotherly love shall bave fully regained
the ascendency over prejudice and hate,
even though it shall be in the next gene
ration, a brave and honorable people
of the same blood and lineage will see
to it that the value Of oar property IN
slaues shall be returned to those from
aohom 1t acas aoronQfuzly arrested. 1t
will do no harm to keep this be-
fore the people, that they may preserve
the proper memoranda of their
former slaves, in the event that return
ing sense of justice on the part of the Fe-
deral government may compensate them,
at least in part, for the loss of this por-
ton of their rightful property.

If the people of Watertown were to
consult their best interests, and lay aside
their party convictions, Mr.. Bennett
would receive a unanimous vote for SEN
ator. From a partisan standpoint it
makes no difference whether senator B.
is reelected or not. The republicans
will certainly have majority in both
branches of the legislature without him,
and it is Of no consequence whether that
majority be one more or one less. But the
question that most concerns the people of
Watertown is who can best serve them in
the senate. Who will be apt to have
the most influence, and accomplish most
with a republican egislature-senator
Bennett, republican, or Mr.. Kusel, a
democrat? To ask the question is to
answer it. Aside from senator Benefits
acknowledged superior fitness for the
position, he has the advantage of two
years experience in the senate, which is
a consideration of no slight Importance.
Watertown should send her strongest and
best men to the legislature always; for it
needs watchful care, not only to guard
her interests, but able and skilled hands
to protect them from assault. In senator
Bennett we know what we have-a tried,
true and faithful representative, keenly
alive to all the wants Of our people, and
able to make himself heard and felt upon
all questions that may arise. 1t would
be the heighth of folly to supplant him
with a man who possesses none of these
requirements

4 CONCLUSIVE ANS WEIR.
New York Tribune.

Ben Hill, that booming patriot whose
mouth had to be padlocked in congress
to keep him from running his party, arises
in Tammany Hall, and speaking for the
solid south says: CRY us, and if we do
not prove to you these republican charges
are untrue, we will covenant never to ask
for power again. The country has tried
you. You have had control of the house
for nearly five years and the senate for
one year, and what have you done? You
have voted solidly against resumption and
in favor of reputation; you have voted SOL
idly against pensions for Union soldiers
and solidly for pensions for rebel soldiers;
you have voted solidly in favor of taking
offices from Union soldiers and giving them
to rebel soldiers; you have voted solidly
against all efforts to prevent the payment
of disloyal claims; you voted solidly in
favor of destroying all the safeguards of
honest elections, and in favor of all eff
fonts to bulldoze the president into sub
hitting to your threats "to wipe the last
vestige of war legislation from the statute
books" That is trial enough for the
present.

SMASH THE RING.

Emboldened by their success in the
control of democratic conventions hereto
fore, and the manipulating of democratic
politics for their own personal advantage,
the democratic bosses at Jefferson this fall
gave the thumb screw an additional turn
and propose to hold the noses of the peo-
pie to the grindstone closer than ever.
Every body who is well informed in
county politics will admit that for years
no democratic ticket has been made that
did not command the approval of the
faction led and controlled by l. w. G. G.
w. Bird. No matter how much the rank
and file might squirm and find fault with
the operations of that ring, its DEGREES
have been law and gospel, and its orders
most faithfully obeyed. The people have
rebelled, but all to no purpose, until now
they are again called upon to support
another ticket forced upon them by the
same distasteful combination and meth
DDS. 1t remains to be seen whether the
operations of the ring will be again sane
toned by the voters of Jefferson county.
Not content with naming a man for
sheriff over whom the ring would have
absolute control son-in-law of Judge
Bird was nominated for district attorney,
and thus the two Offices named, for all
practical purposes, are theirs. 1t can
easily be seen how such a power as this,
if undue advantage is sought to be taken
of it, can be exercised to advance their
own ends, at the expense of other attor-
neys and the people of the county. It is
time that the influence of all such rings
and combinations should be broken. If
it is not, there is no longer need of hold
inc democratic county conventions. 1t
is only necessary for the Birds to register
their DEGREES, promulgate the ticket to be
voted for, and let democrats march to the
polls and 90 through the required mo-
tons. The opportunity for putting an
end to the domination of this ring is now
at hand, The people have OILY to re.
pudiate its work,-elect the independent
candidate for sheriff who is pledged to
reform in that Office, and to see that its
affairs are not managed in the interest Of
any one man or set of men to the exclu-
sion of another Elect him, and with it
the republican county ticket, if you
would crush out now and forever, the
power of this despotic ring in Jefferson
county. Then you may consistently
look for reform not only in the usages of
the democratic party, but at the same
time will be secured a set of county Of
fcer. who will be free from ring infu-
ences and pledged to an honest, fair and
economical administration Of the public
affairs.

WOULD 1T BE SAFE.
Albany Journal.


Would it be safe to return to power a
party which was the right arm of the
rebellion in 1860 and which to-day reaf-
firms the doctrine of state rights from
which secession sprang?
Would it be safe to return to power a
party which to-day is ruled as with a rod
of iron by its southern wing-especially
when it is remembered that that southern
wing is still true to the memory of Lee
and Jackson and the ideas for which Lee
and Jackson fought?
Would it be safe to return to power a
party which to-day is in league with all
the elements in the country whose infu-
ence is thrown against honest money and
therefore against common welfare?
Would it be safe to return to power a
party whose return to power is the sole
hope of the owners of rebel claims aggre-
eating over billion of dollars?
Would it be safe to return to power a
party which has just done it's best to vim
dictate that dime edition of Tweed, DR..
Alonzo Garcelon?
Would it be safe to return to power a
party which, all unrebuked by any of it's
mouthpieces in newspaper sanctums or on
stumps, figures before the country as the
tail of the Maine greenback kite?
Would it be safe to return to power a
party which relies largely for it's success
upon majorities made solid by glaring
crimes against the ballot-box?
Would it be safe to return a party to
power which has nominated a man for
president who is palpably untitled by
taste, education or career for the duties of
the office, and who therefore, if elected
would only succeed in being a superb
figure-head?
Would it be safe to return a party to
power which favors a tariff which is a
blow between the eyes ofevery American
workman?
Would it be safe to return a party to
power which sgnalized its resumption of
control in congress by calling rebel SOL
diers to the front, sending union soldiers
to the rear, and by endeavoring to starve
the country to death?
Would it be safe to return a party to
power which during the past twenty years
has been little else than an able nuisance
and whose assets at the present time con-
sist of little else than colossal appetite?
Would it be safe to return a party to
power when, in order to do 50, party
must be superseded which has been a
good and faithful servant Of the country
during the twenty most trying and ardu-
Gus years of its existence?

THE LAST democratic county conven-
ton, 'for ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain,'' probably eclipsed any
thing ever before heard of. The num-
Der of candidates slaughtered, by fair
means and foul, was wonderful. The
mistake that many Of them made was
that they failed to first apply for the en-
dorsement of [. W. & G. w. Bird. The
harmless meaning the candl-
dates of course-vainly imagined that
they needed not the assistance of the
firm named to pass successfully the or
deal Of a democratic convention III Jefler-
son county. But poor deluded creatures
that they were, they now know better
Is it not about time that this ring should
be broken up? Let honest and indie
pendent electors of all parties answer at
the polls in November

THERE S THE POINT.

The Democrat seems to be laboring un-
der a delusion. The question is not
whether in what we have said of the
democratic candidate for senator we have
been severe. but whether we have stated
what is untrue. That is the point. Our
article, of which The Democrat COM
plains, contained only two allegations:
1st, that Mr.. Kusel was false to his friend
Mulberger, and I'd, that he is not quail
fed for the office of senator. We have
vet to see or hear of the first person,
democrat or republican, who says no to
either of these propositions. Every body
knows-and The Democrat will not de-
ny-that Mr. Kusel, Judas like, betray
ed Mr.. Mulberger and allowed the use of
his name for senator in direct violation of
his solemn VOW to Mr.. M. to not do SO
without his, Mulberger's, consent. That
much is settled. So no one claims that
he has any capacity or fitness for sena-
torial honors. This is the whole case
We did not create the facts. We simply
stated them. We would not do Mr.
Kusel any injustice. We would not
make any statement about him which is
not literally correct. But if he cannot

THE latest claim set up for the demo
cratic party is that it put down the rebel
lion. A. K. Hamilton, of Fond du Lac,
spent thirty minutes of his time at Turn
er Hall the other evening trying to prove
it. Our idea has always been that the
democrats, as party, were opposed to
the war. Those of them who were
on the other side were known as "war
democrats. There was never any such
distinction made in the republican party
as ''war republicans" Does not this dis
prove Mr.. Hamilton's assertion? He
ought to know, and does know, that
every northern sympathizer with the re-
bellion was a democrat. Though all
democrats were not rebels and copper
heads, yet all rebels and copperheads
were democrats.

belief that in time "a brave and honor

The REPUBLICANS of the 25th sem
atorial district did themselves honor last
week by re-nominating Geo. B. Burrows,
of Madison, for the state senate. Mr..
Burrows made an able and efficient legis-
lator, and his district has acknowledged
this fact by placing him in nomination
the third time for the senate. 1t is quite
probable that Senator Burrows will some
day grace a seat in the National House
of Representatives.

GENERAL HANCoCK's letter pledging
