RAKING POWER A NJ

The danger to the public health
from the indiscriminate use Of the
lime and alum baking powders of
commerce has been so fully exposed
that everybody desires to avoid them.
As "forewarned is forearmed,' house
keepers will thank us for apprising
them on 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 q trick, Or so-called test, with heat
and water, to show that their article
is as good as the Royal Baking Pow
der, making the comparison with this
brand because everybody recognizes
it to be absolutely pure and whole
some, the object, of course, being to
supply their own goods in place of
the Royal, which housekeepers have
for so many years relied upon to puff
up the morning biscuit, and to make
the light, palatable, and wholesome
roll, cake, and pastry for which it is
famous.
The housekeeper will do we'll to
be on her guard against these baking
powder tramps. Every intelligent
person knows that any goods ped
died from house to house in this
manner, or that are given away in
samples, or sought to be introduced
by secretly traducing the character
of other goods well known to be pure
and reliable, have no merits of their
own, and have failed to find purchas-
ers through legitimate means.
We are informed, as a matter of
fact, that n of these tramps is try
ing to introduce a powder that has
been found by the Government chem.
list to be 1885 per cent lime, while
the other peddles a powder that is 20
per bent alum-one a powerful caus-
tic the other q corrosive poison.
No such tricks or jugglery will be
apt to deceive any intelligent person.
The housekeeper who has used hel
Royal Baking Powder ever since she
discarded cream Of tartar and sods
knows more about its qualities thar
all the tramps in the country car
teach her. The crucial test to which
she has put the Royal Baking Powder
the test of actual and successful worl
in the preparation of pure and whole
some food, under which it has meyer
failed-is entirely satisfactory to her
She has always had ''good luck
with it in making light, sweet, ant
delicious bread, biscuit, and cake
and has placed it, to. stay, at the hea'
of her Housekeeping favorites. Sh
knows that it has been officially ap
proved by the Government chemist
J as the best, and we imagine that th
, baking powder tramp. who attempt
to supplant its place in her conidenc
will find this a bad year for his busi
ness.

The Second Trial

The second and last, as far as the people
are concerned, attempt to choose a mayor
will be made week from Monday. Repub-
licans Should GRID up their loins and 90 to
work, determined to win. The first election
showed the danger of relying upon the dis
like of the Democracy for their candidate.
Mr.. Deering. As long as they will vote for
him solidly as they did last Monday it is of
no practical consequence whether they like
him and consider him fit candidate for
mayor or not. 1t is settled that they will
vote almost to man for him. If he is to be
defeated, therefore, he must be defeated BY
Republican votes. There are voters enough
1t they will only turn out and go tothe polls.
The combined Republican and temperance
vote at the recent election was 10 smaller
than the vote which Mayor King received
year ago. This state of things indicated
apathy on the part of the Republicans, an
apathy born of the belief, no doubt, that the
Democratic party could not be brought up
to support Mr.. Deering. That delusicn is
now dispelled, and approaching the danger,
we feel confident that Republicans will take
measures to avert it. Mr.. Deering is man
OF great energy, and all the articles by
which voters are deceived are familiar to
him. 1t will require constant and vigorous
worn from this time until election day to de-
feat lin. But vigorous and constant work

saw not one living thing. This description
of the country and the extremely deplorable
condition of the Indian tribes In that region,
as been confirmed by letter sent a few
weeks ago from the Fort Assinniboine reser-
walton by the agent Of the Blackfeet. With
the letter we're forwarded notched sticks
upon which the chiefs of the different bands
had kept register of their dead from the
fall OF 'SS to the summer of 's4. These lists
which excluded as usual, the deaths of all
infants prior to the time when they notice
objects around them, aggregated 4S2. The
lsts OF course included the ordinary NOR
tally but this was but small when compared
with the deaths that were due TO nothing
but starvation. Year by year the Indian APP
propriations have been made larger and
larger, and year by year the reports coming
from the Indians, especially those on the
border, show that their suffering is becom-
ing more and more intense. The Indian
problem is indeed one of great difficulty in
our national affairs, but the cause of human
ity requires better solution of 1t than has
yet been made.

Mr.. Eugene Schu yler, the late minister 10
Greece, Servia and Roumania, has lately point
ed out some of the features of the consular
service to which just at this time attention
should be paid. At every change of admin
istration there is change in the diplomatic
corps and to-day there are undoubtedly
maoy men in Washington who are anxious
for some foreign mission. These are the
men to whom Mr.. Schnyler's words should be
of special interest. 1t is not every man who
can acceptably fill the office of foreign
minister or consul. Something besides ex-
cellent personal appearance and social
standing is required among the qualifca-
tons, as certain experiences in the past have
clearly shown. Extraordinary ability is
demanded for there are extraordinary Ia
bors TO perform. The consular duties are
tedious and of an unusual character. In
themselves they are enough to consume all
the time of an able-bodleJ, conscientious Off
Ger, and he who starts oot on foreign mis-
sion In anticipation of pleasant season of
foreign travel, soon realizes his mistake when
he has once become settled.

A Chicago Mesmerist calling himself 'Dr''
Townshend, has come to grief. He was
giving exhibitions In which his subjects dis
played insensibility to pain by the usual test
OF having needles run through their tongues
and under their nails, swallowing cayenne
pepper, etc. The doctors we're investigating
the ''science" and everything was going
swimmingly, when one night a subject
walked out before the audience and declared
the whole thing fraud. He said he was
subject hired by ''Dr" Townshend, that
the endurance of pain was merely matter
of training ard pluck; that Townshend had
hired him and five or six other subjects who
had been trained for the business and are
known Professionally as "horses,'' and had
failed to pay them. The "horses'' after
ward went through their former tests for a
number of investigating physicians, and said
they had been previously employed by other
mesmerists.
