TEE OHIO CAMPAIGN.


 Tn their recent convention the Republicans of Ohio wisely took high ground in regard to Civil Service Reform. They said: The Re- publican party, which enacted the present Civil Service law, will faithfully maintain it and cheerfully aid in all needed amendments to give i5 full force, and it is committed to extend the law to all grades of service to which it is applicable. Ample appropria- tions should be made to enforce it in letter and spirit and all laws at variance with exist ing reform legislation should be repealed. Having accomplished this much the party pledges itself to still further and higher re- forms; it looks with the deepest regret upon the failure of the present administration to promote the reform of the Civil Service so auspiciously begun under Republican admin istration.
 In his speech at Columbus Tuesday night, with which MT. Foraker formally opened the campaign in Ohio, he very wisely made much of this plank in the Republican platform. He pointed out the insincerity of the Democrats, who elected the last legislature on the pre- , tense of Civil Service Reform and then in suited the staunchest Democratic advocate of reform in the Senate by giving his seat to 8 rich politician, the circumstances of whose election were, to say the least, not creditable to reformers.
 Mr. Foraker and the Republicans whom he leads have good case against the Ohio Demo crats Their treatment of MT. Pendleton showed that they cared nothing for the great reform which he has done so much to help Congressman Hill and the Cincinnati Enquirer have given more evidence, if any were needed, that the Democrats of Ohio are not interested in Civil Service Reform. Hill and the Enquirer have vigorously attacked what efforts the President has made to re- form his party.
 We hope that MT. Foraker will continue as he has begun and that the Republicans of Ohio will give him their hearty support in such course. If their campaign is largely one for Civil Service Reform they will be quite as likely to be victorious as by laying stress on legs important issues. In such a campaign they will have great advantage over the Democrats, who can, by no turning and twisting, make themselves out to be re- formers, for they have distinctly and openly repudiated the reform. A campaign of this kind will be watched with great interest all over the country.

Some Just Criticism.


 The member of the Committee on Schools who consents that Superintendent Dutton may introduce certain book into the schools, at the suggestion of book agent, exceeds his jurisdiction, unless he first submits the matter to vote of the Board. And in this connection the Board of Education will here after do we'll to change the method of ap pointing teachers. The appointments are made at about the last meeting of the Board for the year. A long list of names is presented as having the sanction of the Committee onSchools and the Board vote on it without having the slightest knowledge as to the character, qual- iication or antecedents of the persons so appointed. There is never any time given them for such an examination as the interests of the schools require should be made. It is presumed that the list of teacher-candi- dates is prepared by the superintendent on principles satisfactory to himself, and that he has obtained MT. Zunder's consent to present it for the approv- al of the Board. The question of the admis- sion of new books into the schools is settled in some such manner and the Board itself has very little to do except to pass the bills as presented for their approval by the Com nittee on Finance. This mention of the word ''fnance" brings up the question of purchasing supplies for the school district, a duty formerly performed by it's secretary Mi.

SGung to Death by Wasps.

Wasps killed William P. Thompson, far mer living in Allegheny county, Md. While working cornfeld he noticed what he sup posed to be bees swarming around the stump of an old oak tree standing in fence corner He approached and rashly attempted to in- vestigate them by striking the stump with his hoe. In an instant a whole nest of wasps, probably five or six hundred strong, attacked him. They settled all over his head and clung to him with remarkable persistency. When he reached home screaming for help his wife was compelled to beat them off with a broom. He had been stung in a Horrible manner. There was scarcely 8 piece of skin as big as penny on his head which had not been pierced by the wasps' sting He had just had his hair cut with clipper and the wasps found no difficulty in getting in their work all over his scalp. One of them had settled in his left eye and stung the eye-ball. In two hours Thompson's head had swollen to 8 monstrous size. his left eye protruding, and he was terrible spec tacle. The man. suffered great agony and died in few hours.

A discussion is going on in Europe con- corning the distance at which large objects on the earth's surface may be visible. Emil Metzger mentions that he once saw, with some difficulty, Keizerspiek, in Sumatra, when distant no English miles; and he also made out Chg Aerapi, in Java, when 1sO miles away. From the Pig Muraun, near Dissentis, E. Hill has seen Mont Blanc, the intervening space measuring about 110 miles. J. Starkie Gardner states that Mont Blanc is visible from the Pig Langard though distant about degrees. In Greenland, MT. Whym- per beheld 8 mountain from which he was separated by 15O miles; and from Marseilles, Zach saw Mount Canigon at distance of 158 miles. The whole range of the Swiss Alps has been looked upon by J. Hippisley when 200 miles away; while Sir W. Jones has af- firmed that the Himalayas have appeared to view from the great distance of PA miles.

Minnesota is making rapid progress
to the front in the way of solidity with
the administration at Washington.
True, the south has so far received the
most important appointments. but now
we see Messrs. Patrick Kelly and
Michael Doran have set up bureau
for receiving and forwarding to the
President applications, and intimate
that their endorsement is all that is
needed. But more than that. the other
wing of the party is getting there"
too. Ignatius Donnelly, who has been
getting the cold shoulder from every
one, has excited the admiration OF the
presidents cultured sister by his Ba-
CONAN letters, she being believer in
that theory of the Shakespearian publ
cations. With Pat and Mike solid in
the presidents esteem and Iggy bask-
ing in the good nature of Miss Cleve-
land, Minnesota bids fair to loom into
prominence.-Wi lln,ar Argus.

a BAKING POWDER TRICK

All kinds of schemes and tricks are
resorted to by unprincipled persons to
obtain unfair advantages over their
neighbors. The latest and most dishon-
est of these that has come to our notice
is one by which certain manufacturers
of baking powder have sought to pre-
JUDGE consumers against the use of
other brands that have an established
reputation as the best and purest in the
market, for the purpose of introducing
their own. Their method, we are in.
formed, is to heat can of baking pow
der of a well-known brand over lamp
or stove. when. if there is gas given
off having the odor of ammonia, the
powder is condemned as being made of
ammonia and unfit for use. The pre-
JUDGES of the unsuspecting are thus
excited against the baking powder
submitted to the so-calied test, and the
grocer who has quantity of it on hand
suffers serious loss in consequence.
If the intelligent consumer will stop
a moment to think, she will readily
perceive that this ''test," if successful,
proves nothing but the superiority of
the baking powder tested. The aim of
all baking powder makers is to produce
an article that shall most readily, un-
der use, give off its leavening gas. The
powder that does this with moderate
heat, at the same time evolving the
largest quantity, is scientifically the
best.
There is probably not an article pre-
pared for food that cannot be manipu-
lated to prove that something is wrong
about it; and when person goes into
kitchen or before a housekeeper who is
not to be presumed to understand
chemical relations, and performs an ex-
pertinent of even the simplest character.
it is not difficult to impress one that
something awful is the matter. As to
baking powders, we could suggest a
dozen tests that would be as ridiculous
in giving fair idea of their relative
merits to an uninstructed mind as the
one here mentioned.
The true domestic value of baking
powder consists in its purity, wholesome
ness,and leavening power. It is only the
chemist, with his chemical appliances,
who can determine these qualities, SCI
entifcally and exactly. Aside from
this, the best test for a baking powder
is to try it in making bread, and see
which makes the most and best. To
this practical test all the established
brands have been put, and housekeep-
ers have very generally made up their
minds which they prefer, and the trick
sters will find ultimately that q brand
that has been household fayorite for
years will not be displaced by reason OF
any tricks which they may show.
