The people of Gloucester are taking steps
to have the Seventh District of Massachu-
sets represented in the next Congress by
some one who will look after the interests of
the fishermen. In meeting called Monday
by the Republican city committee of CLIQUE
ester, and attended by many prominent citi-

''the peculiar and certain dangers that now
menace the Gloucester fisheries" an appeal
should be made to the rest of the Congress
sional district, to sustain and support them
in selecting a candidate who would, when
elected to Congress, represent the interests
of the fishermen. The resolution also named
Captain Fitz j. Babson, as a man who

Race prejudice is by no means extinct,
even in what were once called the Free
States. The case in the high school at Vim
cennes, Indiana, where the white girls re-
fused to graduate with negro classmate, is
equalled at Mount Holly, New Jersey. Some
of the colored people have been trying to
have their children admitted to the high
school. This made trouble, and one colored
pupil who has succeeded in getting in with
the white scholars is made the object of a
general persecution. He is well behaved,
but the whites threaten to leave unless he is
dismissed. If the school trustees are sensi-
BILE, and have the good name of their town at
heart, they will let the white children go.
A. vincennes the white girls who would not
graduate with their colored classmate were
allowed leave the school, and the negro
girl bore off alone tho bennrs of graduation
day. The dissidents made themselves ridic-
ulous in Vincennes and throughout the
country. The parents of the New Jersey
children are putting themselves in the same
false position. Public sentiment condemned

The latest revival of an obsolete Sunday
law is in Washington. The western suburb
of Washington, Georgetown, still remains
under Maryland law, though included in the
District of Columbia. Two citizsns of
Georgetown have been brought before the
police court charged with doing carpentering
on the Sabbath, thereby disturbing their
neighbors. The judge on looking up the
law, found the penalty fine of not more
than FIVE dollars for white man, or not
more than thirty-nine lashes for slave.
The offenders, being white men, were fined
one dollar apiece. Carpentry in Maryland,
unlike barbering in Boston, must be done on
secular DAYS.

The Rev. DR.. Leonard, once the Third Par

without intermeddling at all with party politics,
and in the spirit of that wisdom and charity which
the Gospel enjoins, we will urge our people to
stand relgiousy with us in this platform of Chris
tian Independence, in aggressive warfare upon the
liquor traffic
This appeal has an encouraging sound, as
il DR.. Leonard had heard the news from
Maine, and realized that the Third Party
helps only Democrats, the avowed enemies

THE DEMOCRATIC WHAT is IT. POLICY.
Halifax Herald.
For the intelligent observer of American
politics, it is most difficult to discover the
Democratic Free Trade party. Recent
events have fnliS demonstrated that the
Democratic party is lot a Free Trade party,
while the Republicans are avowedly Pro-
tectioniSts There never was Il time in the
political history of the Republic when free
trade met with so slight public favor.
THE FALSE IMPRESSION CREATED BY THE
AMERICAN COUNSEL.
Toronto Globe.
If America has case in the fishery in
quiry now proceeding at Halifax, it is hard
to understand why the press representatives
should be excluded from the court. 1t is the
man who has no case that fears the reporter.
'rhe American counsel at Halifax are surely
not prepared to make that admission
TIE TRUE INTERPRETATION.
Philadelphia Call
The election in Maine is not an evidence OF
the numerical weakness of the Prohibition
lists. 1t is simply an indication that they

Prohibition in Atlanta

A recent telegram from Atlanta
says in abolt six weeks, when
prohibition starts, Atlanta will
look very much like a town for
rent. There are more vacant
houses there now than at any time
since 1873, and rents are much
lower. The bottom is cut of real
estate. There are vacant stores
IN the business part Of the city,
for which there is no demand, and
it is feared that a panic will be
created when the seventy-fve sa-
looms and wholesale liquor houses
take on the depressing sign "For
Rent" The people are as badly
divided as ever. The prohibition
lists are paralyzed and in the
dumps andthe anti-prohibitionists
are saying, [ told you SO. Every
man can see the coming storm,
but no one can suggest way to
turn its course. When Atlanta
recovers from her prohibition ex
perience she will say long fare
well to fanaticism. She is paying
dearly for her experience, and her
property owners cannot under
stand why the general depression
that the prohibitionists say is the
matter with Atlanta does not ef-

SURVIVAL OF THE FITPEST.

For eome time past the quos-
tlon of purity in baking powders
has formed quite a feature of
newspaper discussions, and emi-
nent doctors of philosophy have
given opinions as to the ingredi-
ents which compose many Of the
articles sold under that name.
The investigations have narrowed
down TO the limit which awards
the Royal Baking Powder the
palm of purity, and several of the
most distinguished scientists have
testified to their conviction that
no extraneous or dtleterious mat
ter enters into its composition. The
Royal Baking Powder Company
have achieved a worldwide repu.
tation for the success which has
marked their preparation of cream
of tartar for baking purposes. 1t
is indisputahly shown that they
have eliminated all elements of
tartrate of lime, alum or other i'm
purities, and present to the pub
lie a healthful and chemically pure
article. Such widely known che
mists as Henry Morton, E. G..
Love, III. A. Mott, VIM. McMur-
trie and others have verified its
superiority over other manufac-
tures, and testified, through prac-
tlcal experience, to its excellence.
1t is well for families to observe
the fact that it costs more to man
ufacture the Royal Baking Pow
der than any other, but it is, as
shown by chemical analysis, the
one absolutely pure" baking pow
der made.
