HEREAFTER WHEN corrupt

HEREAFTER WHEN corrupt IL
ticians and Office holders are spoken
of, New York City will not be re-
lied upon as furnishing the only
"awful examples" Tweed must
henceforth have his infamous name
associated with that of Keifer, late
speaker of the House. The New
York EUsT1ing Post, pager which
is perhaps as careful as to its asser-
tions as any that can be mentioned,
makes known another of Keifer's
wicked methods. It says that when
the speaker had decided to
r9moYe Tyson, the House stenO-
grapher, in order to make a place
for his nephew, he sent for Dawson,
another stenographer, and told him
that he would be expected to divide
his own salary with Mr.. Tyson until
the meeting of the next Congress.
lawson SaldCnaG this would greatly
embarrass him, for he had entered
into financial obligations with the
expectation of receiving his own
salary during the period. The
speaker gruf1y informed him that
the matter must be settled at once.
and that Mr.. Dawson could take his
choice-divide his own salary with
Mr.. Tyson Or hand in his resigna,
ton. So Dawson decided to take
half a loaf rather than get no bread.
This transaction has come to the
knowledge of the discussing clerk
of the House, and he says that if
Mr.. Dawson does not receive the
full salary it shall Iemain In the
treasury.

In NEW YORK two or three

In NEW YORK two or three
years ago. a few merchants, bust
ness men and producers met and
organized the anti-monopoly
league. There were some good
men in the league. They went
about the work they had given
themselves to perform, and have
never since rested. Newspapers
have been established and cor
Quoted in the interest Of the organ
ization; circulars written, published
and distributed; essays and appeals
scattered broadcast, and the press Of
the country generally urged to favor
the movement. The society has
never slept. Slowly but steadily
it has added to its members, as it
could here and there enlist the SYM
pathy aud support Of persons, and
find people who were neither con-
trolled by nor afraid of the grasping
corporations. The ranks Of the
league have grown so numerous,
and its principles become so widely
disseminated and taken such deep
root, that it is now proposed
to organize a political party,
to be operated and con-
Quoted upon a strictly anti-mon-
opoly platform. A convention has
been called to meet in Chicago on |
July 4th, to take the initiative and |
set the ball in motion. This is a
matter in which it is hoped that
great results will come from small
beginnings. The people all over
the country are being made to feel
the expressions which the powerful
companies are able to bring to bear.
We in the west, while We do not
suffer as they do IN some sections Of
the east, can yet experience in too
Iarge a degree the evils of which
others complain. The anti-monop-
olists exercised a wholesome infu-
snce in New York at the late cleo
ion, and now that they are extend
ng their efforts and making their :
work of a national character, it is
,oped they will be able to check the
evil of corporations and
money leaguers, going into party
and debating policies
nd nominations, and using state
sgislatures for their own oppressive
imposes.

WHEN THE new &c. letter postage
rate goes into effect on the first Of
October, the green &c. stamp with
the portrait of Washington, which
has been in common use fol
thirteen years, will probably be dis
continued. Since the adhesive
stamp was first issued in 1851 by the
government, the stamp most in use
has had the portrait of Washington
and as the &c. stamp will be used
more universally even than the
green SC. stamp now is, it is proper
that it should bear the head OF
Washington. And this we under.
stand is the intention of the post
master general in preparing the new
designs.

Crucial Test.


The severe chemical tests to which the
various baking powders have from time
to time been placed have demonstrated
clearly to thu public the relative merits
Of the different brands from an analyti-
cal point of view. For instance, DR..
Love, the eminent Government Chemist,
in his analysis made the comparative
strength as follows:
Cubic inches
Gas evolved.
'Royal," absolutely pure l27o4
"Charm." alum powder. ............. 1853
,snow Flake" Gron's. ............ i0I.Ss
&C. Z. Andrews = Co's'' alum powdr 1911
The Royal Baking Powder was found,
besides being of absolute purity, TO
evolve the highest amount of ieavening
gas of any of the powders tested, and
hence II 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 to the
housekeeper, 4 baking powder that
never fails to make light, sweet, whole.
some and palatabla bread, biscuit, cake,
etc, upon all OCCASIONS, IL the one that
will be placed at the head Of the list hy
the practical housewife, and received in
TO her kitchen for continuous use. This
test the Royal Baking Powder has stood
for over twenty years without single
failure, and hence Its reput alton as the
best baking powder made has spread
from house to house. Rntil It's use has
become as universal IS the merits are
unrivaled.
