THE POSITION OF THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY


Republican organs are not happy when
contemplating the position occupied by the
Democratic party, but they do rejoice ex-
eeedingiy when they discover, or think they
have espied. rock upon which the Demo
cratic ship may be wrecked, and they work
like beavers when building dam, for the
purpose OF swerving the Democratic party
FROM course which promises supremacy.
The campaign OF 1882, which brought the
Democratic party into power, was fought dis
tinctiveiy on a platform of reform, and
prominently tariff reform; not free trade,
but FREER trade. The Republican party,
then in control of both Houses
of Congress, heard the bugle blast for re-
form and attacked the tariff iniquity, and
when they got through with their work not
one single sbomination had been removed.
and. In many instances, the tariff was more
Objectionable than when their tampering
was begun. The Republican managers went
at the tariff reform enterprise for the pur-
pose Of heading of the Democratic party
when IL should take possession OF the House.
and now they are engaged in proclaiming
that further tariff reform is not required,
and Mr.. Randall. Of Pennsylvania. gives
them to understand that the Democratic
party Is in sympathy with them. But the
Forty-eighth Congress was elected TO
inaugurste tariff reform, to revise tariff
taxation, aud TO deal honestly with the peo-
pie. A large surplus revenue is to be gotten
rid Of by reducing the taxation. The people
demand that they shall not be burdened
with taxation 10 create a surplus revenue TO
be squsndered or stolen. They demand
economy, and the Democratic party Is
pledged to bring forward measures that will
result in far reaching reforms. The position

A Crucial Test.

The severe chemical tests 10 which the
various baking powders have from time TO
time been placed have demonstrate ted clearly
10 the public the relative merits OF the diff
ferent brands from an analytical point of

Government Chemist. in his analyses, made
the comparative strength as follows: =

The Royal Baking Powder was found, be-
sides being of absolute purity. TO evolve the
highest amount of leavening gas of any OF the
powders tested, and hence it was placed at
the head of the list and recommended for
Government use.
But the crucial test OF the kitchen is after
all, the most satisfactory 10 the housekeeper.
A baking powder that never fails to make
light sweet wholesome and palatable bread,
biscuit. cake, etc.. upon all occasions, is the

list by the practical housewife. and received
into her kitchen for continuous use. This
test the Royal Baking Powder has stood for
over twenty years without single failure,
and hence its reputation as the best baking
powder made has spread from house to

as its merits are unrivaled.

County Temoerancs Alliance.

On last Wednesday at one o'alock in the
afternoon, there assembled at the city hall
in this place. over one hundred delegates
representing the various temperance Or
CARNATIONS of the county. Nearly all OF
the temperance organizations of the county
were represented. The object of the meet
ing was to organize a county temperance
tions of that nature in the county might be
able to act in harmony on the subject OF
temperance. The meeting was called to
order by the President, DR.. T. V. B.
Embree, with Mr.. c. H. Whitney acting
as secretary. The president stated the OBJ
ject of the meeting and introduced Mr.,
Wallis Nash to make the address Of well
come, who performed that duty in very
appropriate and welcome manner.
After this the various committees were
appointed on credentials, order of business
&C., for the purpose Of effecting permanent
organizotion. After the organization was
effected the meeting was adjourned to meet
again in the evening at the city hall.
When they reassembled the spacious hall
was well filled by the various delegates and
people of the town and vincnity. They had a
rousing good time; speeches &c. showing
uniform and permanent interest in the
cause. Lack of space prevents us from
publishing the proceedings in full this week.
We will endeavor next issue to give so much
of the proceedings as will be OF interest to
the general reader.

silver Nina at Eodaville.

Quite state of excitement has been caus.
ed in this city and vicinity, by the assay OF
some rocks from a reputed silver mine at
Sodaville in this county, says the Albany
Herald. Surface rock taken from this ledge
shows an assay of $50 to the ton, and rocks
taken out eight or ten feet below the surface
an assay of $50 to the. ton. We do not
wish to create any excitement in this matter
and shall patiently await further develope-
ments before expressing decided opinion
one way or the other. The eassay spoken of
was made in this city, and by a party who
went to the ledge and secured the rock, and
the gentleman's reputation for truth and We.
racity is good. If the rock assayed came
from Sodaville ledge there is certainly pay
ing quantities of silver in the rock, for it is
hardly possible that so high an assay could
be found in the rock 80 near the surface, I'M
less the whole ledge is more or less impreg-
mated with silver bearing quartz. At the
present writing it looks as though genuine
silver mine has been discovered in Linn
county, bit the question can only be settled
by further developement.
