Newport, on ''The Progress of Reform" We
suggest that he make text out Of Pan-elec-

that up to the present date Collector Hedden

THAT Crawford county vigilance committee

terror to the souls of the legal fraternity.
When it gets SO that a lawyer is in danger of

Trouble Among New York Democrats.

New YORK, Aug 3-The expulsion of Mau-
rice B. Flynn from the ranks of the County
Democracy by the executive committee of the
latter body, last night is the main topic of con
versation in political circles to-day While some
thought that Flynn should have been accorded a
hearing on the charges against him before
taking action, it was the chief opinion that the
dropping of Flynn from the rolls of the organ
ization was good thing for the party.

The Louisville Courier-J Journal is response
BILE for the sighting observation that in the
slection held in Kentucky on Monday votes
sold all the way from So to $40. In view Of
the fact that Republicans do not have much
to say in Kentucky elections, this structure is
pretty severe on Democracy, though no worse,
perhaps, than the allegation that Democratic
votes are for sale in Indiana at SO each.

citizens.

THE President signed the oleomargarine
bill, though expressing the belief that parts Of
it might be unconstitutional. He did well to
do SO, all things considered. Without passing
on the ACCESSIBILITY Of such measure, it was
enough to know that the legislative branch Of
the government had passed it after careful
consideration. If the President were to carry
out the same idea in all the measures passed
by Congress, unless he regarded them grossly
perversive of the functions of Congress, he
would do well, for the purpose Of the veto
power plainly is to afford the executive to in
terpose it in defense of the Constitution, and
not to mould the policy Of the country nor to
say what Congress should or should not do
within the Constitution. In truth, Congress
is nearer the people than the President is,
and can be reached more easily by the people,
so that Congress is popularity supposed to rep
resent the will of the people. There are GER
tain prerogatives given Congress in the mat
ter of Legislation, and these should not be in
terfered with by the executive without the
very best Of reasons Neither branch of the
government should interfere with the other
without the necessity of the case is apparent.
The President could, by the exercise of his
veto power, fairly cripple the legislative branch
Of the government so that it could not pass
any laws to. meet rising exigencies. This,
clearly, was not the intention of those who
drew the Constitution when they conferred
the veto, power upon him. So arbitrary has
been the President in his vetoes of the bills
awarding pensions to veterans thought to be
deserving of the same, that it has come to be
understood that it is well nigh useless for
Congress to do anything in this direc-
ton, although empowered to, for fear
that all. the labor Of investigation will
be for nothing on account of the hostility of
the President, who does not believe that this
right should be exercised by Congress. If
President Cleveland were consistent he would
exhibit the same Difference 20 the will of Con-

the question of the signing of the oleomarga-
rine bill. Plainly the people can say to their
representatives what they think about such
measures. In few months there is to be
held an election in which many of the mem
bers of Congress will come before the people
for Endorsement If their constituents do not
approve of the way they have discharged their
duties, or if they wish different course pur-
sued, it is in their power to have exactly what
they want. If they wish the oleomargarine
bill repealed, it is an easy thing for them to
say so and to have it done. 1t is SO with the
pension bills that are being passed. If the
people do not approve of it, they can say so at
the polls and select men who will not vote
for pensions There is no danger of the thing
becoming harmful to the government, for the
reason that it is within the power of the peo-
pie to call halt whenever they please.

In mulching the strawberry bed lie
careful not to smother the plants.
Leaves are not suitable for mulch,
if used by themselves. If evergreen
boughs can be thrown over the bed,
leaves upon the boughs are admiraoe.
The purpose of mulch is to prevent
alternate freezing and thawing ana
heaying of the plants. Anything THAT
will accomplish this and not smother
the plants will do. Corn stalks are
sometimes used. PERHAPS straw Is
the best material. If not applied too
thick 1t may be left on in the Spring.
and the plants will come through IT,
But if applied too thick, 1t should be

distributing center for all that region,
and takes about &c, 900 a day. They are
sent west without the shells in large pals
containing 1 200 and a chunk of ice. You

PERFECT BAKING POWDER

The or eat success of the Royal Bak-
ing Powder is due to the extreme care
exercised by its manufacturers 10
make it entirely pure, uniform In
quality, and of the highest leaveninS
power. All the scientific kowledge,
care and skill attained by Il twenty
years practical experience are con-
tributed toward this end, and no
pharmaceutical preparations can be
dispensed with greater accuracy,
precision and exactness. Every article
used is absolutely pure. A number OF
chemists are employed to test the
strength of each ingredient, so that
it's exact power and effect in cOmbina-
ton with It's co-ingredientsi 10 definate-
ly known. Nothing is trusted to
chance, and no person is employed in
the preparation of the materials used
or in the manufacture Of the powder,
who is not an expert in his particular
branch of the business. AS a conse-
quence, the Royal Baking Powder is
of the highest grade OF excellence,
always pure, wholesome anu UNIFORM
in quality. Each box Is exactly like
every other, and will retain its power
and produce the same and the highest
leavening effect in any climate, al
any time. The Government Chemist.
| after having analysed all the princi-
pal brands in the market, in their re-
ports placed the Royal Baking Powder
at the head of the list for the strength
purity, and wholesomeness, and
thousands of tests all over the country
have further demonstrated the fact
that its qualities are in every respect
unrivaled.

The Evolution of Dining.

A grand dinner is q complicated affair
and has been evolved by ages of civiliza-
ton and culture. Primitive races eat
whatever they can get and whenever they
can get it. Nomadic tribes with f1ocks
and herds establish regular meals and
discover the oldest gastronOmic combina-
ton, bread and meat. The peasantry of
civilized nations combine dishes together
to form the square meal" say meat and
potatoes, with a relish and bread and
butter Cultured people gradually come
to add two courses to this square meal,
one at the end called dessert to aid diges-
ton, the other at the beginning of the
preliminary course or gusto to whet the
appetite. But the height 10 reached in
the grand symposium or banquet of nine
courses: /. HOrs d'9uvre. 2. Potage.
3, Poissin. 4. Relieve. 5. Entree. 6.
Roti. z. Entremets. 8, sucree, o.
Dessert. Nine courses exclusive OF
punches and coffee! Nine meals in one
Indigestion, govt and biliousness. Exit
the cook: enter the doctor. That the ma
tional diet of England is roast beef, that
the French eternally eat stewed veal and
pate dc foie gras, that the national food
| of Germany is sausages and that OF Italy
macaroni goes without saying; that there
is IL correspondence between the nations
food and the national temperament there
can be no doubt.-Dr. Wallace Wood,
