A STRONG ENDORSEMENT.
NJ. DELAFONTAINE.

Consulting and Analytical Chemist, of
Chicago, says:
CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 5, 'S3.
Messrs STEELE Il BRIcE,
Gentemen:-
You call my attention to repeated state
ments made by rival firm, that your Dr.
Prices Cream Baking Powder is q weak
one--lacking of that raising power which
alone gives value to pure article, and
you ask me whether that statement is
borne out by the facts known TO me.
During the last ten years have several
times examined your Baking Powder,
and especially tested it for strength.
My experiments show that ITS RAISING
POWER is SUPERIOR TO THAT OF THE OTHER
MUCH ADVERTISED POWDER, MADE BY SAID
RIVAL FIRM, and that result was obtained
WITHOUT REsoRTINa TO THE USE OF AM
MONA, either, as is done by them.
| wish to add that | ascertain the
strength of baking Powder by n
method which gives accurate results,
as is much less liable to errors than
those followed by some other chemists.
l will say, also, that DR.. Prices Cream
Baking Powder contains no Alum or
Ammonia. 1t is as pure and well made
to-day as it was ten years ago when l
analysed it for the first time.

.ss'urn the lsascalS Out!"

The New York Times, which by the
way is the leading Republican paper in
the East, is not in our opinion very far
wrong when it prophesies that the Demo.
cratic slogan next yenr will be "Turn
the Rascals out" This is the way it
states the case:
at is going TO be very hard work for
the Republican party to elect its candi-
date for President next yenr Protection
won't elect him. The putting down of
the rebellion twenty years ago won't
elect him. While eminent leaders of the
grand old pnrty are pointing with pride
t. American workmen and battle Scared
veterans marching side by side in the
front rank, n watcful and pitiess enemy
will call public attention to the gang OF
rascnls in the tail of the profession.

cry of the Democrats next Summer.

ILLINOIS CROPS.

The June report for Illinois is not
encouraging. While her corn area
is three per cent. greater than i'll 1852,
its condition indicates a crop of 1885,
100000 bushels less than the yield of
last year. Now, inasmuch as Illinois
has been in times of scarcely supply
depot for this region, our readers will
fully appreciate their good fortune in
being ranked hereafter among tho
''corn surplus States" of the Union.
The condition of the Illinois crops
of broom corn and Sorghum is dis
couraging, and winter wheat prospects
are not as good as in May. Oats are
nearly up to usual average, but rye,
flax and barley have fallen off ten per
cent, and the fruit crop is greatly
injured.

The Gaines Judgment.


Galveston News.
If the New Orleans authorities cannot
appeal i'll such way as to suspend the
mandamus, and if they believe that the
Judgement Is outrageous and the special
tax ordered intolerabie, the case admits
OF very simple remedy. All they have
TO do is to resolve firmly not to do in
their corporate political capacity the
specific acts which they are commanded
to do. The judicial authority, according
to recent decisions of the United States,
has no means of overcoming or getting
around such resolution, if it is persist
ed in TO the extremity. 1t may imprson
councilmen, and possibly tax collectors,
fol contempt of court in not executing
the requirements of mandimus, but if
these functionaries and agents of the
political power continue in IA state OF in
domitable obduracy, the judicial author
ty is without further recourse unless il
attempts methods of coercion and execu
ton pointing to a subversiou of the
present civil order and the overthrow OF
free government. The taxation of
people is sovereign act. The taxing is
an exclusive attribute of the political
power. IN representative democracy

reason to fear any reduction in import
duties that will severely cripple them;
hence they do not manifest much I'M

Congress, as they know that Arthur
will hold the reins during the full
period of its existence. They are in
high hopes however that the Demo-

tariff question in their caucus next
December, that will demoralize and
cripple the party on the eve of the
