Why the "Royal' is the Best.

The improved method by which it has
been made possible to produce pure cream
of tartar, has had an important bearing up.
on the manufacture of baking powder. BY
the process heretofore generally employed,
it has been found impossible to remove all
impurities, more particularly the tartrate Of
lime, which remained to such an extent as
to greatly impair the quality of the cream
of tartar, and to interfere seriously with the
strength and wholesomehess of the baking
powders into which it entered.
In the new process, which is owned by
the Royal Baking Powder company OF New
York, and exclusively employed in its ex.
tensive tartar works, the imported crude
grape acid ia go treated as to remove all
vestige OF tartrste OF lime or other impuri-
ties, giving product before unkuown-a
chemically pure cream of tartar.
By the employment Of these superior TO-
cilities, the ROYAL Baking Powder Company
has made the Royal Baking Powder, as the
chemists ell certify, of the highest possible
degree Of strength, "abeoluteiy pure" and
wholesome, and with an rlways uniform
leavening power. 1t Is for. these reasons that
the Royal" never fails to produce bread,
biscuits, cakes, ETC., that are light, sweet,
digestible and wholesome; the eating Of
which is never followed by indigestion !, or
any OF those ply steal discomforts attendant
upon the partaking Of improperly prepared
food. In rendering possible the produc.
ton Of baking powder possessed Of these
qualifications, the improved method of re.
tining cream Of tertar becomes at once a
matter Of material Importance to the culin.
civ world.

GENERAL HANCOCK AND SENSIBLE
DEMOCRACY,

NEW ORLEANS, April 25.-[ Editor HER
AID. One of the reasons why Hancock
should be re.nominated next year is that,
more than any other man, he can bring
out the full democratic vote of the country.
This fact was demonstrated In 1880. His
vote in New York was With S07 Of Cleve-
lands vote laat year, when the latter
carried the state by 100000 majority, and
it was IL 562 larger than Tilden's vote. In
Ohio, Hancock received 10 1913 more votes
than Hayes, and 1867 more votes than
Tilden. In Pennsylvania, Hancock re-
ceived 2},S06 more votes than Hayes: and
Al, go more votes than Tilden. In Indiana,
Hancock received 17,5l7 more votes than
Hayes, and l2002 more votes than Tilden.
In Illinois, Hancock received SOL more
votes than Hayes, and 1920 more
votes than Tilden, and 80 on
in nearly all the northern states. 1t 10 the
democratic vote in the northern states that
will elect the democratic candidate or de-
feat him; aud hence, the vital Importance
of nominating the man who is strongest in
these states. And this man is Hancock.
His totsl vote was 151 ?5S larger than Til
denis, and 4OS 1856 more than Hayes. Han
cock was defeated by tricky free trade
platform, that was used against him with
fatal effect on the eve OF the election
Time has proved that Hancock is complete.
| ly in accord with the anti-free trade senti
ment Of the country and Of the democratic
party, and his election, II he be nominated,
will be q foregone conclusion. The free
traders have been sque!ched, and they will
be powerless to defeat him next year.

EASTON AND CAMMACK.

Now that Easton, has squealed with the
understanding with County Attorney
Clint that he is TO plead guilty OF forgery
in one of the many cases pending against
him and get two years, and that the others
are to be nolls prosquied, the tables are
somewhat turned, He proposes to un,
bosom himself and tell all
he knows about tho huge swindle.
The reporter called to see Esston, who.
when asked how about his turning stata's
evidence, referred him to County Attorney
Clint. vi suppose the prosecution will try
now to put Cammack in the penitentiary,
8 i'd the reporter. well, I'll be mighty
glad to help put him there replied
Esston. 81,
The rumor that Mrs. Easton had left
Wsxahschie in company with saloonist
named Ricketts, proves to be erroneous, as
Easton has been receiving letters from her
almost daily for several weeks past. County
Attorney Clint sent a telegram to her al
Philadelphia yesterday, requesting her
presence here to testify in behalf of the
state, and she and Easton's father are ex'
pected to arrive within the next few days
When the reporter called he FOUND
that Cammack was absent, having. beer
taken out by an officer to testify or for an
airing. Tailor Morton reports that be is as
cool and calm az ever.

department of agriculture has issued its re-.
port for April. The topics presented ia the
report relate TO the bread and meat supply

inquiries answered in these returns call for
appe -ent area sown in winter wheat and
rye, and its apparent condition on the lat
OF April, The period OF seeding, and aver
age date, the condition Of the soil at the
time, etc., are all subjects of inquiry. An.
other branch Of the circular relates to the
comparative healthfulness of farm animals
Of the several kinds during the year; the
prevalence Of disease in every quarter, and
the losses by disease or stress Of weather.
The value Of improvement by breeding is
also considered.

cases the late sowings had the most favor

Texas wheat Is very favorable. The soils
and situations are various, and the appear
