Is the Board of Pardons a Returning
Board?

Ed, Picayune When it was pro,
pased in a Southern Constitutional
Goa .ention to elect the Judge by
popular vote, and obstinate Con
sentative moved that a right OF
appeal should IN all cases lay to
the next general muster"
The suspension OF sentence in the
Ford Murphy case until the returns
shall be in upon his petition for
communications, seems as illogical as
the popular appeal from the judicial
decision.
i there to be any supervision or
scrutiny Of the signatures Of these
petitions? Is there any poll to be
kept Of those who wish the impartial
execution of the law? Is the Board
of Pardons a Returning Board, and
is there any guard against bogus
registry, Or against counting convict
ed criminals out-of prison.
If this appeal from the law to
those who may not have heard the
facts. is az excuse for the authorities
to protect their own followers or
favorities, it then becomes a fixed
prerogative that those who are
loyal to the governing ring are not
amemable to legal punishment. II
is a privileged order and should be
plead in the courts as bar Of pro
secution or penalty. 1t is a dispen.
sation or absolution which will
restrict the operations Of penal laws
to those who vote the wrong ticket
or who cannot rely on the govern
mcnt to canvass the State fol
signatures to a predetermined par
don.
We may then ask:
FLAWS were made for every degree.
To bind on all others as Oh you and me
l wonder we haint better company.
All under the Tyburn tree.
Without knowing the convicts
whose penalty has been indefinitely
postponed until a packed petition
may do what q jury failed, through
the vigilance of the people,. to effect
it is plain that if the Murphy-Ford
murdere"s escape punishment, it vii
be cruel injustice to execute any
other conyicted criminal. DROP,

Food Frauds.
The SHAMEFUL Use OF LINE AND
ALUM IN CHEAP BAKING POWDERS.

Many food frauds. such as chicorv
coffee or watered milk. although they
are swindle in commercial sense,
are often tolerated because they do not
particularly affect the health of the con-
sumner; but when an article like baking
powder, that enters largely into the
food of every family, and is relied upon
the healthful preparation of almost
every meal, is so made as to carry
highly injurious, if not rankly poisonous
elements into the bread to the immin-
ent danger of thr entire community. it
is the duty of the press to denounce the
practice in the most emphatic terms.
Among recent important discoveries
by the full analysis isthat byProf. Mott.
the U. S. Government Chemist, of LARGE
amounts of lime and alum in the cheap
baking powders. These are, one the
most dangerous, and the other the most
useless adulterants yet found in the
lowgrade, inferior baking powders.
1t is startling fact that of over one
hundred different brands of baking
powders SO far analysed, comprising all
those sold in this vicinity, not one of
them, with the single exception of the
Royal Baking Powder, was found free
from both lime and alum. The chief
service Of lime is to add weight. 1t is
true, that lime, when subjected to heat
gives off certain amount carbonic acid
gas, but quick-lime is left-a caustic
so powerful that it is used by tanners
to eat the hair from hides of animals.
ana IN dlssectlng rooms to more quick
ly rot the flesh from the bones of dead
subjects. A small quantity of drv
lime upon the tongue, or in the eve,
produces painful effects, how much
more serious must these effects be on the
delicate membranes CT the stomach.
lntestines and kidneys, more particu-
larly OF infants and children, and es
pecially when the lime is taken into
the system day after day, and with al.
most every meal. This is said by ply
sicians to be one of the chief causes of
Indigestion, dyspepsia, and those pain
tul diseases of the kidneys now so pre-
valent. Instances of the most serious
affections of the latter organs from
drinking lime water found in some sec
tons OF the West are noted in every
medical journal.
Adulteration with line is quite as
much to be dreaded as with alum.
which has heretofore received the most
emphatic condemnation from every
food analyst, physician and chemist
Tor the reason that, while alum is pro-
badly partially dissolved and passed off.
in gas by the heat of baking, it is i'm
possible to destroy or change the ma
ture OF lime in any degree. so that the
entire amount in the baking powder
passes, with all its injurious properties,
into the stomach. When we state that
the chemists have found twelve per
cent or one eigth of the entire weight
of some samples of baking powder and
Used, to be lime, the wickedness of the
adnlteration will be fully apparent.
Pure brking powders are one of the
chief aids to the cook in preparing per-
feet and wholesome food.

Guided in the list Of exhibitors of stem
dard stock, but in the hurry Of getting
to press we did not get their names in
time for this weeks issue.
Nearly all the exhibits in the floral
and agricultural halls were in position
by Monday noon. This was children's
day, and about 2 o'clock in the after
noon the scholars in the public schools
in charge Of their respective teachers
marched into the hall. Then came the
Lutheran and Catholic parochial
schools, also in charge Of their respec-
tive teachers. Altogether there were
over 700 children in the hall at one
time. Each child was supplied with a
quantity of picture cards, and Robt.
Loheyde even distributed liberal sup
ply of candy, and more happier
throng of young people we have never
seen. After spending a couple Of hours
viewing the exhibits the children were
again marshaled in line and marched
back to their respective schools, where
they were dismissed for the day. Civ
ing the children half days outing at
the fair was indeed a happy thought.
Yesterday was Sleepy Eye day and
quite large number from the upper
country were in attendance. To-day is
New Ulm and Springfield day and a
very large crowd is expected. To.
night the most successful fair ever
held in Brown county will close with a
harvest ball in Turner Hall. The list
of premium awards will appear in our
next issue.

The Interstate Industrial EcpO
sitiOn of CHICAGO


sition of Chicago
Is now open for its FOURTEENTH Con-
sEcUTlvE ANNUAL EXHIBITION. Like
every other good thing in the growing
West it is larger. better and more i'm
portant in its main features than any
which have preceded it.
The display of processes of manufac-
ture. including two exhibits of silk
looms in operation, and many other
things of attractive novelty in mechan-
ism, has never been surpassed.
The Art Halls are filled with choice
examples fresh from the studios of one
hundred and twenty-five prominent
American artists. Almost every paint
ing is a gem, and all were selected by
the celebrated artist. MIR. VIM. H. Beard,
of New York.
The Natural History Department in
cludes the entire collections of the
Chicago Acadamy of Sciences" and
those collections include some of the
most remarkable specimens in the
world. The specimen of the ezephas
prin1igenius or '.hairy elephant" just
added and mounted, was discovered in
Spokane Co., Washington Territory,
and has no rival in any ofthe great mu.
seums of Europe unless may be one in
St. Petersburg procured many years
ago in Siberia.
The Department of Furniture, House
hold Decoration, Personal Ornaments
and Textile Fabrics are complete and
filled with all the novelties known to
the several industries they represent.
1t has never been the purpose of this
organization to simply amuse the pub
lie or to enrich its stockholders, but
rather to educate and inform those who
desire to keep abreast of the progress
OF the world in all the great lines Of
human activity.
In 1885 the average daily paid at
tendance for forty days was 8,463. This
year it promises to be even larger and
the exhibition will certainly well repay
all who visit it. All transportation lines
make reduced rates.
