Nothing new has been developed in the whole

Dry goods are receiving many small orders and
show q littlelife. Groceries are in about as much
demand usual for the season aud average drm.
Dairy products show a continued dizziness though
there Is some inquiry for cheese Fish are in bet

PracticaITest

Those housekeepers who wish TO detect
the presence of ammonia in their Baking
Powder can do so by boiling 8 small guam
tty in water, when the odor produced by
ammonia is quickly detected. 1t will also
leave presence Of starch, -four or filing of
any kind, as nothing but Cream Tartar and
SODA viii disappear. DeLand's Chemical
Baking Powder has none of the above in
gradients, except Cream Tartar and Soda,
which contains all the leavening power
necessary to use in the manufacture OF Bak-
ing Powder. Never SID in bulk.

Among the things in the columns OF

was iu an especial manner turned to that
relative TO our late election for i. NJ.

and agreed to by the citizens of Wrsson,
that as there were so many applicants

go into an election and abide by the re-
suit.

and conscientiously perform the duties of

| notwithstanding the criminal ignorance
| of some arrogant and egotistic caititf on
that subject. The assertion that l have
been regarded as mild Republican, is
intended as II base reflection on my politi-
cal consistency. The intimation that my
candidacy was regarded in the light of
joke could have emarated only from some
brain-sick Narcissus utterly incapable
of dealing with facts and deducing proper
and logical conclusions thercfrOIn. The
intimatiOn that WessOn, though her peo-
pie had long been regarded as democrat
ic, had proven by the last election (Feb.
Z, 1885, that many of her SONS had degen-

people would not quietly and silently
bear, did the imputati0n come from any
man with one 1.-THE the merit that the
father of these lies and detractions ascrib-
es to himself. Prosperity frequently
bedIms the vision of fool and causes
him to play the eynic, censuring every
thing not in harmony with his own con-
tracted ideas. Self-imposed merit must
have but an ephemeral existence and the

LAST CALL.

THE LEADER has often felt compliment
ed by the promptness and good will with
which most of its subscribers have paid
ih-ir dues, but there are a few persons
whose names are on our books TO whom
cir, paper has been regularly sent for a
long time, and to whom statements have
heeu mailed, who have never paid us a
cent or in any manner acknowledged
their obligation. We now wish to say to
all such delinquents that while we would
tr delighted to continue furnishing them
with good local paper without pay, If
we were only able to desc, that we are not,
AMI much rs we sorrow to part company
with such easy-going people, VIC will
have to very soon do so unless they come
forward and settle up arrears. In short,
ii you fail to receive The LEADER after
March LIST, you may rest assured that
your name has not been written in our
new set of subscription books, and that
we are going to squander some more post
ago asking yon to pay for what You have
already received. Spare us this unpleas-
ant Labor.

In that spirit of fairness which
has evec been Que Of the cardinal
principles OF TIE LEADER, we to-day
give place o. communication from
Mr.. L. d. Day, Democratic club
nominee Tor the WeSson poStmas
tership, correcting the statement
made in our issue Of the 18th, that
he had previously been a Republi-
can. His remarks are certainly EN-.
phatic enough, if not absolutely
conclusive: but Mr.. Day ia palpahly
laboring under a misapprehension
as to the authorship OF the stale
ments made by The LEADER. No
"letter" was received by us from
anyone, bat the article was based
entirely on verbal statements of an
old citizen Of Wesson, whom we are
satisfied had not the remotest desire
or intention Of disappearing him.
So far from it, our informant even
went further and expressed the de-
termination to stand by Mr.. Day to
the last in the club ratification meet
ing. This much we have said in
Justice to ourseli and informant. and
to show that the charge that Mr..
lay was Republican hal its
origin from another and different
source.
As to the genuireness of his
Democracy, however, it will not be
out Of place TO add here that we
notice that the Summit Scntine. also
vouches for that.
