A Baking Powder Trick.

All kinds OF schenes and tricksare resortsd
to by unpIincipled persons to obtain unfair
advantages over their neighbors. The latest
and most dishonest of thfss that has come to
our notice is one by which certain msnu'ac.
iurtrs of baking powder have sought to
prejudice 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 informed, is to heat a can OF
baking powder OF a well known brand over
lamp or stove, when, if there is gas given
off baving the odor of ammonia, the powder
is condemned as being made OF ammonia and
up fit for use. The preiudices of the unsus
pectiT sre thus excited against the baking
powder Submitted TO the so called test aud
the grocer who has a quantity OF il on band
suffers Il serious loss in consequence.
Ii the intelligent consumer will stop 8
moment TO think. she will readily perceive
that this test" il successful, proves nothing
bat the superiority of tie baking powder
tested. The aim of all baking powder max
ers is TO pro6uce an article mat shall most
readily, under use, give of its IeaveniDg gas
The powder that does this with n moderate
heat at the same time evolving the largest
quantity. is scientifically the best.
There is probably not an article prepared
for food that can not be manipulated to
prove that something is wrong about it. and
when q person goes into a kitchen or before
hoUsekeeper who is not to be presumed to
understand chemical relations and performs
an experiment of even the simplest chersc-
ter, it is NOT difficult to impress one that
something awful is the mstter. As TO baking
powders, We could suggest dozen tests that
would be as ridiculous in giving fair idea
Of Il cir relative merits TO en- uninstrucled
mind as the one here mentioned.
The true domestic value of Il baking pow
der consists in its purity, wholesomeness and
leavtniDg power. 1t Is only the chemist,
with his chemical appliances, who can deter
mine these qualities scientifically and ex-
actly. Aside from this the best test for q
baking powder is to try it in making bread
and pee which makes the most and the best.
To this practical test all the established
brands have been put. aud housekee oers
have very generally made up their minds
which they prefer, and the tricksters will
find ulim ately that brand that has been a
house hold favorite for years will not be dis
placed by reason Of any tricks which they
u sy show.

WHEN il Is remembered that Mr.. Clevs-
land has not been in office quite two months
one should cease 10 wonder why there has
not been more progress made in making
changes in the various departments OF the
Government. A corresponds of the New
York Sun, in q review Of the situation,
makes some interesting points, which,
although in some particulars intended for
the political latitude OF New York, yet are
not without interest to other sections. The
general drift conveys some food for healthy
thought. He says, among other things:
The President is awfuliy deliberate, but hs
is full Of energy and purpose. 1t must be
remembered that he has only been in office
seven weeks. In that time he has made
Cabinet and changed most OF the chief bu.
reaa officers He has shaken hands with huu'
dreds of thousands WHO voted for him, aud
perhaps more of those who did not He has
exported Bayard's leading supporters on
Baysrd's motion, that they might be study

politics, and be bss checked the ofIics-seek-
ing tbroDg which imprudently gathered
around him here. He has listened to the
Senators and members of Congress of his
party, and has knowledge OF their opinions
and wishes. Cords and cords of applications
and Endorsements for Office have been piled
up in the departments, and sympathizing
Democratic appointment clerks over
hauling and sorting them out. Thsre has as
yet been little time for examination or de-
liberation The serenity OF the admin
istrslibn was at first slightly disturbed by
the squalls of the Mugwump baby, but q

sleep; and now the Great American Boss, the
President OF the United States, is occupying
his time in studying the situation and try.

bis case should be decided offhand because il
is so simple; bnt there must be system, and
system there probably is. The President is
still the brusaue, confident, and headstrong
man for whom Republicans voted fer Mayor
Of Buffalo; and ne has lost none Of the
cronies who msnsgsd him into the Guberna-
torial candidacy. Whether he has the good

Two of our Democratic State contemporar
les, the Fort Wayne Journal and North Yer
non Sun, have taken exceptions to a recent
article in the Sentinel rasping Democratic
State Senator for gratuitous slurs made in
public and private against The Sentinel.
Ssys the Sun: This is the frs. instance

Fort Wayne Journal that it Is very i'll be-

Democrat whose only offense lies in the fact
that he expressed himself as grateful for not
having been given any notoriety in that
paper"
Will the North Vernon Sun tell us how
the Sentinel could entertain personal NAL

most unselfish supporter" or how it could

1t occurs to the Sentinel that there should

The decision rendered by the United
States Supreme Court on Monday In the Viz
ginia coupon tax cases is destined to involve
that State in turbulent political fight the
coming autumn. The situation is as fol.
lows:
BY an act Of the Legislature of March 30,
1871, known as the funding act, and the
issue of bonds and coupons by virtue OF the
same, the State contracted with coupon
holders to that such coupons should be re-
ceivable at and after maturity ''for all taxes,
debts, dues and demands due the State"
The vast amount of coupons fallisg due an
nually places it within the power of tax
payers 10 procure them at discount, and
thus make q saving in payment of taxes. In
1851 William Malone, so.called ''resdjust-
err" but in reality repudiator, made, with
his gang, a light for the mastery over
Virginia politics By announcing Opposi.

coupons for taxes. Upon this issue the Ma

ding the receipt for taxes of coupons issued
under the act OF March 80, 1871. The So
preme Court referring to the act of January,
1882, says: although it is a legislative act
of the government Of Virginis, is not law OF
Virginia, because 1t impairs the obligations
of its contract and is annulled by the Censti-
tuition Of the United States"
This decision gives to the little political
villain, Malone flush opportunity to try
his demagogical hand again upon the Viz
einis political wires. He will now, il is
reliably stated, himself make the race Tor
Governor this year upon promise to have a
sovereign convention called and the public
debt repudiated by a constitutional pro-
vision. He viii not run on any party line
but as an out and out Repudistionist. The
msjority of the States indebtedness was
piled up by Republican Legislatures, and
was q yillainous outrage upon the people.
Now Malone, Republican, proposes TO re-
pudiate the debt his party made. he will
seek to dishonor Virginia to advance his
corrupt ambition just as he would seek to
plunge her into inextlicsble debt, were that
necessary to his ends. We repeat what we
said once before in these columns, it were
better for the reputation of William Malone
and for Virginia that hs had fallen at the
mouth of the Petersburg crater twenty years
ago than that his gray hairs should be
crowned with infamy and his mother State
be disgraced by his shameless attempts to
| besmirch her hoDored name.
