me, MIKE AND JOHN" RULE THE
ROOST.

Again the ring has demonstrated that
il is more powerful with the administra-
ton than are the people, and in the selec-
ton of John &. Wise as postmaster of
Mankato, President Cleveland has said,
10y this action, "we care not for your
recommendations or petitions; the ring
is what guides us in our selections of fed
eral officers in Minnesota" But this APP
polntment is quite in keeping with the
others made here and at other points.
An eX-rebel soldier for register of the
Tracy land office; man whose only rec
concentration was the ring gets the
receiyership; renegade from Lake SUI
perior and IA sympatnizer with the sec
ton that tried 10 destroy the Union, is
recognized for the post Office over an APP
,bli.ant who SorVoa four years in Il ofon
of his country, and another whose loyal
" to party and sacrifice of time and
money is well known. This is beauti-
full trio for the administration to foist
upon the people here.
There is a good deal Of dissatisfaction
caused by this last appointment. but
that matters not. Wise will serve as
postmaster until Congress convenes, at
which time the question as to whether
there Is any civil service reform or con-
sistency in suspending an offensive Re-
publican partisan and appointing an of
fensive Democratic partisan will be set
tied.
None need apply for Office in Mime
sofa without the endorsement of Pat
Kelley, Mike Doran and John Meagher.
They, collectively, are bigger men than
Cleveland.

POSTMASTER GENERAL Villas is of the
opinion that leases for post offices made
ten or twenty years ago, are not obliga.
tory upon the government, and the At
torney General corroborates this view,
hence Col. Was will terminate them
upon notice in cases where ii appears
proper for him to do SO. There are
numberless buildings occupied rs post
offices which are entirely inadequate for
the transaction of public business, that
should be surrendered 10 their respec-
tive owners. In MANY instances the
public have long suffered pinched-up
quarters, and il is about time they were
afforded relief.
Some twelve years ago the present
building in Mankato was constructed,
when the population of our city was less
than half of what II is to-day. At this
time the room is entirely inadequate for
the business, and steps should be imme-
diately taken by our citizens To see If a
special inspector cannot be got here to
relocate, and receive bids for the con-
struction of building that will meet the
requirements of the public. The gov
eminent is and has been paying from
the start, ut least one hundred per cent.
more rental than rs necessary for the
conveniences received, and il is about
time that the people bestirred themselves
10 the extent of getting quarters that
shall be somewhere near what is de-
manded by our growing city, and at
something like reasonable compensation.

Mr.. JonN +. MEAGHER is credited with
saying, 10y n Washington dispatch, that
he fails TO see why one offensive parti-
san should supplant another" When
il is known that Meagher has labored all
along for the appointment of an "otien.
sive partisan" TO succeed the Republican
postmaster, the righteousness Of the as.
sertion appears. Or if he is guilty OF
making such remark, he is equally
guilty of streak of hypocrisy that few
had charged him with. Take whichever
horn You please. 1t is a generally &c,
knowledged fact that no two Democrats
of any pretensions whatever can be
found in Blue Earth county who have
been as false and untrue to their party
as John F. Meagher and j. Z. Wise
These are the kind of men, however
that the administration loves to honor.

Ammonia in Baking Powders.

Among the recent discoveries in
science and chemistry none is more i'm
portant than the uses to which common
ammonia can be properly put as
leavening agent, and which indicate
that this familiar salt is hereafter to
perform an active part in the prepar-
ton OF our daily food
The carbonate OF ammonia is an ex-
ceedingly volatile substance. Place q
small portion of it upon a knife, and
hold over a flame. and it will almost
Immediately be entirely developed into
gas and pass off into the air. The gas
thus formed is simple composition OF
nitrogen and hydrogen. No residue is
left from the ammonia. This gives it
its superiority as a leavening powder
over soda and cream of tartar used
alone, and has iduced its used as
supplement- to these articles. A small
quantity of ammonia in the dough is
effective in producing bread that will be
lighter, Sweeter and more wholesome
than that risen by any other leayening
agent. When it IS acted UPON by the
heat of baking, the leavening gas that
raises the dough is liberated. In this
act it uses itself up, as it were; the
ammonia is entirely diffused. leaving no
trace or residum whatever The light,
fluffy, fiaky appearance so desirable in
biscuits, etc., and so sought after by
professional cooks, is said to be inn.
parted to them only by the use of this
agent.
The bakers and baking powder manu-
facturers producing the finest goods
have been quick to avail themselves of
this useful discovery, and the handsom-
est and best bread and cake are now
largely risen by the aid of ammonia,
combined of course with other lea7en-
ing material.
Ammonia is one of the best known
products of the laboratory. If, as
seems to be Justly claimed for it, the
application eli its properties to the pur-
poses of cooking results in giving US
lighter and more wholesome bread, bis
cuit and cake, it will prove boon to
dyspeptic humanity, and will speedily
force itself into general use in the new
field to which science has assigned it,
Scientific American.

The ABILITY to Bear Pain

Is the test of fortitude among the In
dian tribes. But we defy any Cherokee,
Sioux or Comanche to endure the
twinges of rheumatism without vino
ing. These, indeed, are slight at first,
but grow ir intensity until they become
unbearable. No malady is more OBJ
stinate in its maturity than that which
gives rises to them. The more
need. then of attacking it at
the outset. Foremost among RENE
dies for it is Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, safer and infinitely more effective
than colchicum, veratrum and nux
vomica, all remedies which might prove
destructive of life in slightly excessive
dose. Mineral depurents, also, when
not positively mischevous, are far in
ferior in remedial power to this salutary
botanic medicine. 1t entirely expels
from the blood the acrid impurities
which originateithe disease, and enriches
as well as cleanse it. Constipation,
liver complaint, dyspepsia and other
ailments also give way to it.

The Agricultural Convention.

WASHINGTON. July 9.-The second
day s session of the Agricultural Con-
vention began this morning. The COM
mittee on order of business reported
resolutions declaring: "That the re-
lations of agriculture to meteorologiy
are so intimate that the operations
of the United States signal service
should be fully demonstrated at every
agricultural college. To this end the
convention heartily endorses the sug-
gestion of the Commissioner in his ad-
dress, and requests HIM to endeavor
to secure the establishment of a
signal station in every agricultural
college now or hereafter established I'M
der the national endowment, and if it
be possible to accomplish the important
matter through the war department,
and the chief signal officer is requested
to refer the subject, with his recon-
mendation, to the committee on legis-
iation of this convention and to thus CO.
operate in securing national legislation.
After one hours discussion the resolu-
ton was unanimously adopted.
The same committee then reported
the following resolution:
Whereas, One of the principal objects
of this convention is the establishment
of closer relations between the Depart
ment of Agriculture and all the institu-
tions systematically engaged in active
labors for agricultural progress, there
fore, ~
RESOLVED, That in the opinion of this
convention the first practical measure
to secure cooperation in the fulfillment
of the admirable suggestions OF the
commissioner, is the creation of div
ision or Office in the Department of
Agriculture, supplied with the neces-
sary clerical force, which office shall be
the special medium OF inter-communi-
cation and exchange between the insti-
tutions intended to be represented by
this convention and the centre or gen
eral plan of cooperation.
ResOIred, That this convention,
respectfully recommends to the Com
missioner, as one of the most import
compilation and publications of periodi-
cal bulletins of agricultural progress, not
less than quarterly, and an
bulletin should contain in popular
form, ready use of the people and the
press, the latest experiences and results
In the progress of agricultural educa-
ton, investigation and experimental, in
this and all other countries
ResolUed, That as necessary part of
the intended cooperation of colleges
and experiment stations on the part
here represented. regard themselves as
bound to make definite plans for sup
plying said Office with such regular re-
ports of. their operations as may be
called for by the commissioner.
The remainder of the morning session
and the entire afternoon session was de-
voted to discussion and reading of
papers upon general subjects. During
the noon intermission delegates called
IN body at the White House by ap-
pointment, and were received by the
President.
