The Government Chemists on Baking
Powders.

To the Editor Of the Wing and ChrenteIe:
The recent publication of the report, Civ
ing the comparative merits of yariou
Baking Powders, according to tests made
some or the manufacturers of brands, whose
inferiority was thus brought to light to re-
sort to various means and publications, in
order to rid themselves of the results of
that unfavorable exposition of their inferi-
ority
That the public may fully understand the
matter, and to avoid any misconception
arising out of statements of our competi-
tors, seeking to break the force of the re
port, 1 herewith subjoin the main part Of
the report, in which the comparative values
are correctly given.
DR. Loves tests were made to determine
what brands are the most economical to use.
And as their capacity lies in their leavening
power, tests were directed solely to ascer-
tain the available gas of each powder

*The Government Chemist also adds
I regard all alum powders as very I'm
wholesome. Phosphate and tartaric acit
powders iberate their gas too freely in pro
cess of baking or under varying climati
changes suffer deterioration"
1t is proper to state that all the powder
examined were from the open market, an
that the original labels were in every cas-
broken by DR.. Love himself. He also in
forms me that he, himself, purchased tn
can of Royal Baking Powder at the store c
Park & Tilford
have only to add, that for 30 years til
Royal Baking Powder has been before til
public and it is to-day the standard for PIT
rity and excellence throughout the world
Because of its intrinsic merit, and by vii
tue of its honorable enterprise, the Koya
Baking Powder has taken this rank, and
am, therefore, not surprised to find adven
turers in the business anxious to assum
their preparations to be its equal.

LIEUTENANT GREENE, subordinate sa-
trap, in his apology for the proposed widen.
ing of Fourteenth street, says, ain the
property in which the owners on the east
side are solely interested, they have not
asked any compensation for the necessary
streets"
Did anyone ever hear of such marvellous
generosity, such selfsacrifcing owners of
property. Some speculative gentlemen buy
a,farm, adjoining to a rapidly-growing part
of the city, and lay it out into lots purely
for speculation. They make streets to
correspond with those of the city, and alb.
solutcly do not ask the city to pay them
for the ground used for streets. Such
modesty is unparalleled, and Lieutenant
Greene deserves medal for having called
public attention to it. By all means, the
taxpayers of Washington ought to pay for
those streets. eThere is as much justice in
asking them to do so as there is in asking
them to pay the same parties for the ground
to widen Fourteenth street for the benefit
of that identical property.

A Great House.

Likes, Berwanger & Co., No. 80 Seventh
house in Washington that manufactures
its own goods, and they make this claim
with positive knowledge that it cannot be
honestly disputed. Every article of cloth
ing in their stock is made by them, and
they, therefore, are safe in warranting
the goods they offer to the public as su-
perior in material, cut and make to those
found elsewhere in the city. They have
achieved a reputation for the general ex-
cellence of their goods, and particularly in
the matter of fitting. The average coat,
vest and pants in their stock is quite equal
to the best custom made work in this re-
spect. Every variety Of fashionable style
and design is contained in their stock.
Their spring lines in coats, vests, pants,
overcoats ETC., ETC., are very full and attrac-
tive. 1t is worth a visit to their large es-
tablishment to see the extent and variety
of the goods they offer. Everything needed
by the largest man to the smallest boy is
visible and for sale there at most reason
able prices-prices considerably less than
elsewhere. Every kind of cloth and the
best of every kind, cut and made up in the
most artistic manner-broadcloths cassi-
meres, cheviots diagonals, fiannels, tweeds,
etc Every reader of this notice should do
himself the justice Of calling on Likes,
Berwanger & Co., for the purpose of com
pairing their goods and prices with those of
other establishments before purchasing
This firm is confident that it is offering
better goods for less money than any other
house in the clothing line in Washington
Call on them before buying. You will not

TO THE PUBLIC.

SO many eNtravagant statements have gone
forth regarding the accident TO the Navy De-
partment elevator, that we deem il our duty to
give the above extract from the report of the Ex-
aiming Board. The simple facts are that the ma
chnery, which passed ont of our hands three
years ago, was found by the Board in bad cond-
tion; that the driving belt of the engine was not
able to hold its load that 1t slipped the pulley
and the car descended TO the bottom-not at a
dangerous speed, being held in check by the safety
fixtures, which proved entirely reliable, and per-,
just the duty for which they were designed,
saving from harm the seven passengers and car.
After an experience of twenty-five years in
building Hosting Machinery, having constructed
the greater part of the frst-cass passenger eleva-
tors throughout the United States and many in
foreign countries, we desire to say THAT NO PER
son HAS EVER BEEN INJURED UPON ONE OF
OUR PASSENGER ELEVATORS! When we further
state that 1t is estimated that upwards of FIFTY
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE ANNUALLY CAR
RIED ON OUR ELEvAToRs IN NEW YORK CITY
ALONE, the magnitude of our business may be
imagined

THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE of the
House is getting nervous upon the subject
of the land grant railways. Yesterday
several members commented rather Sc
verely upon recent publications bearing
upon the actions thus far taken by the
committee, which articles purported to
predict authoritatively what the result Of
the examination will be. THE CRIrIc has
not pretended to say "authoritatively" or
otherwise what the action of the committee
will be. 1t has said, and reiterates it, that
the committee fails to act; that it listens to
the arguments of hired attorneys of the
land grant roads, and that these attorneys
boast that they have the matter where they
can control It. The action of the commit
tee yesterday in making a Star Chamber of
itself as to this subject, to say the least,
gives strength to these boasts and casts sus-
pcion upon the committee.
Is the committee afraid of current COM
ment on the question? Is it anxious to
conceal its views? Is it afraid to let tho
advocates of the people in this case be heard
at the same time that the advocates of the
roads are heard? Does it desire to forestall
public opinion, or is the secrecy enjoined to
confine the benefits of speculation in the
stock of the roads affected to the members
of the committee? The order for secrecy
looks to the ordinary mind like stock

tion of Shyster Bliss, when he made his
studied exhibition of vulgar rufianism in
court yesterday, to divert attention from
the fact that the prosecution, after all its
promises, was not ready to proceed. We
do not wish to be understood as intimating
that Bliss requires stimulus to make an ex.
hibition of vulgar ruffianism but in this
case the malice prepense was apparent.
The celebrated shyster had come into
court, duly attended by his man-of-all-
work Mr.. Merrick, but otherwise without
any preparation to proceed with Che trial of
the case. Hence, it became necessary to
distract the public attention by side
show, and Bliss selected Bob Ingersoll as
the most sensational subject to practice on.
But the exhibition did not prove a success.
1t served simply to expose the miserable
ignorance and brutality of Bliss, and to
throw Dick Merriek into the unwonted at
titude of playing second fiddle to common
blackguard. That was considerable for one
day.
So far as the quibble of the non-appear-
ance of certain defendants was concerned,
it was entirely irrelevant. They were ab-
sent simply because no writ had been
served upon them, and it was the business
OF the court to see that they were present.
But the other defendants were on hand,
and we submit that the rule Of law or
practice which precludes trial of defend
ant who has been arraigned because another
defendant happens to be absent is
novel one. Moreover, why didn't
Bliss include yaile aud Sanderson
along with ]. w. Dorsey in his
list Of absent defendants? Suppose j. w.
Dorsey should be there on the 10th, would
not another postponement be necessary on
account Of the absence OF Vaile and Sander
son?
The whole truth is that Bliss and Mer-
rick were not ready to go to trial. They
had no evidence that would be admitted
before petit jury by any decent court in
the world, oral or documentary, aud not
one witness on hand who could swear to
anything as of his own knowledge. Ia
fact they had no case. II might be added
perhaps, that they desired to await the re-
covery of Attorney General Brewster, who
had so often informed the newspaper cor
RESPONDENTS that he "intended 10 conduct
the trials In person !" but who, just at that
moment was sleeping off the fatigues and
other ills incident to night trip down the
river on the Tallapoosa.
