BAKING POWDER TRAMPS.

The danger to the public health from the
indiscriminate use of the many lime and
alum baking powders of commerce, has
been so fully exposed that everybody de-
sires to avoid them As forewarned is
forearmed." housekeepers will thank us
for apprising them of the special efforts at
present being made to dispose of such pow
ders in this vicinity.
The proprietors of some of the worst of
these powders are now going from house to
house, trying by means of trick, or So
called test, with heat and water, to show
that their article is as good as the Royal
Baking Powder, making the comparison
with this brand because everybody recog
nizes it as absolutely pure and wholesome,
the object, of course, being to supply their
own goods in place of the Royal, which
housekeepers have for so many years re-
lied upon to puff up the morning biscuit,
and to make the light, palatable and whole
some roll, cake and pastry for which it is
famous.
The housekeeper will 60 well to be on her
guard against these baking powder tramps
Every intelligent person knows that any
goods peddled from house TO house in this
manner, or that are given away in samples,
or sought to be introduced by secretly ira
ducing the character of other goods well
known to be pure and reliable, have no
merits of their own, and have failed to find
purchasers through legitimate means.
We are informed, as matter of fact, that
one of these tramps is trying TO introduce
powder that has been found by the Gov
eminent chemist to be 11.S5 per cent. lime,
while the other peddles powder that is 20
per cent. alum-one powerful caustic, the
other corrosive poison.
No such tricks or jugglery will be apt to
deceive any intelligent person. The house
keeper who has used her Royal Baking
| Powder ever since she discarded cream OF
tartar and soda, knows more about its
| qualities than all the tramps in the country
| can teach her. The crucial test to which
she has put the Royal Baking Powder-the
! test of actual and successful work in the
preparation of pure and wholesome food,
under which it has never failed-is entirely
satisfactory to her. She has always had
"good luck with it in making light, sweet
and delicious bread, biscuit and cake, and
has placed it, to stay, at the head of her
| housekeeping favorites. She knows that
it has been officially approved by the Gov
eminent chemists as the best, and we i'm
agine that the baking powder tramp who
attempts to supplant its place in her conf
| dence will find this a bad year for his bust

DECADENCE OF MoRMoNIsM.

dlspatcn from ioalt Lake city speaks
of the call for the semi-annual conference
of the Mormon church, to be held at Logan
on the 4th day of April. Itwas appointed
by revelation" to the Prophet of God"
that the conferences of the Church Of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints should
be held on the 9th day of April and the
9th day of October of each year. These
are church councils and of Divine origin
according TO the Mormon theocracy. If
now the Bishops priests and teachers and
the selected Twelve" may meet on any
other dates it amounts to confession that
the so-called Divine command is and has
been of no effect. In this simple act of
change of date the Mormon priesthood
yield the only vantage ground they have
occupied. But if this may be excused on
the ground that the revelation, in this re-
spect, was but directory, it will not avail
in the matter of the proposal to come
under the law" regarding polygamy. 1t
is stated that the conference will consider
this matter; that is to say, will discuss the
question of the abandonment of the doc
trine of plurality of wives. In the mere
announcement that the church authorities
will bring the subject before the conference
is disclosed the weakness of the Mormon
faith and the hollowneSs Of the whole
scheme of the Mormon religion. Polyg-
amy, the scaling Of the women to men that
their souls salvation may be secured, is a
tenet of the Mormon faith having its origin
in Divine revelation or in the trickery and
hollowness of human wickedness. II, now,
this is a revelation and came from God
Himself, how can any human authority
contravene or alter it? In the very act OF
discussing the question there is sacrificed
the principle" upon which the sub
structure of the Mormon theocracy is
erected. 1t is confession of the human
origin of the doctrine of plural marriage,
and, as a consequence, the destruction Of
Che whole scheme of Mormonisn becomes
certain. Mormonism as religion, is in
decadence; the proposed action testifes to
the fact, and reveals the coming of the
day when the veil shall be rent and the
dupes of willy priests be disabused of their
faith.

FRACTIONAL FIGHTS.

The San Francisco Bulletin well says
that the tendency of the Democratic party
to split up into factions on the division OF
the spoils is growing more marked. 1t is
probably traceable to the increase of the
general knowledge of politics. In saying
which the Bulletin utters a truism appli-
cable to any and all parties. Freedom
from the bonds of dogmas" means the
breaking down of party infallibility. 1t is
in the Democratic party this relaxation is
most apparent, and in California the
weakening of the party bond is
specially noticeable. 1t has within
single year been here demon
strated that two factions, each claiming to
represent and abide by pure Democratic
principle, may exist within the party,
thereby proving that neither has princi-
pie as a basis We have in this State two
distinct Democratic parties, each claiming
to be the original Jacobs, and each one
denouncing the other as unworthy of trust
and confidence, and as non-representative
in short, each declaring that the other is
an impostor. So it comes that the truth
of the remark of our contemporary is I'M
| deniable when it declares that the Democ-
crazy is rum upon the principle" that
the offices are for one class of Democratic
gentlemen, and the poor privilege of voting
for another class
