Aside from the inferiority of powder con-
tanning useless substance equaling about one

cause of great lack of strength of Prices Baking
Powder as shown by the test of the Government

consequence that may arise from taking this
large amount of lime into the system.
Lime cannot be discomposed by heat, and is
not eliminated in mixing or baking, and there

in Prices Baking Powder, remains in the bread,

Gov. F. A. Tritlc, of this Territory. Mrs. Gov. Tritle, and their daughter Miss Katie Tritle, spent three days in Yuma this week. The Governor was here on business connected with the Territorial Prison. He is one of the best Govern ors the Territory ever had. He is energetic and possesses all those elements of heart and mind necessary in good Executive. The people are well pleased with him having given entire satisfaction during his administration in all matters of a public character. The stand he took lu his recent report towards the suppression of Mormonism and other matters detri- mental to the welfare of Arizona, have in- gratiated him in the hearts Of the people. He Is afdble and cordial and entirely free from those conventionalities so bur- densome to intelligeEr people. We hope President-elect Cleveland vii! retain him in office, for he could not do anything more pleasing to the citizens of this Territory. The Governor IS at present in Tucson with his family, where they epent Thanksgiving Day. They will return to the Capital by the first of next week.

Lack of Moral Influence.

We are no apologist for any particular
 religious sect-iR fact, we abhor ortho.
 doxy for its intolerance, and because il
 trammels the intellect and teaches it
 thai it must move and think in a certain
 direction, or groove previously marked
 out by the founders of this or that set of
 religious tenets. Yet, with all this, we
 favor religious influence and the moral it exerts in communities where It predom- mates, and for this reason alone, and no
 other, we should like to see some one of
 the protestant churches represented in Yuma. The Catholics have holden sway in this place for many years, and it Is the only denomination represented here at present, but Yuma, not unlike many other Catholic communities, has made but little progress, or taken steps up- Wards, towards moral standard. Moral influences here are below par, and, to say the least, are in deplorablc condition. In writing of other places, when induce ments were offered to people seeking homes and places to educate and bring up their children, the first one was that there were good schools and churches ard facilities for education, and these in- ducements were often greater incentives to them than the facilities that existed to make money. Why can't we have these in Yuma? All the conditions are favorable, and this town will never take an upward stride and assume it's merited station with other towns in the Territory of even less importance financially and otherwise, than Yuma, until its people take another course and endeayor at least 10 maintain more churches and schools, and show a larger spirit of en. terprise than now peryades here. All the clements are at hand to bring about this needed reform. The white people here are of.a good class; would gladly take hand in moral reform had they an opportunity. Why then lag and and stay back? Let some one take the lead and let it be said that Yuma main tains a protestant church and Sabbath school.

Our worthy Territorial Secretary, Hon. H. NJ. Van Arman, failel to send copy of the Governors Thanksgiving Procla- nation to this office. It doesn't make any difference to us. It is the welfare of the souls of the Yumaites that we are concerned about, for we know they ought to nrav and return thanks to somebody fog -,- er.r.Lege of residing - beautiful Yuma sad earning theu bread by the sweat Of their noble brows, ar east once a year, t0 receive that eternal reward promised 10 all the righteous 5eyond the lomo. Nc wa>ted to remind the n that the lime ioI Thanksgiving Aa1 co-e around, and like the Heather Chinese, drive the devil out of their domiclles, not by hide ous noises and the beating of gongs, etc., as the Chinamen, but by actually getting down on their marrow bones and asking forgiveness for their multitude Of sins. But, however, though we were ignored by the affable Secretary, it is fortunate that the people of Yuma are naturally piously inclined, and that just auout this time of the year they are afflicted with a religious streak, so that the Proclamation didn't make any difference after all, and the Yumaites attended to that religious duty in maaner best suited to their convenenccs regardless of the Coy ernor's Proclamation,
