Survival of the Fiticst.

For some time past the question of pu.
rity in baking powders has formed quite
a feature of newspaper discussions, and
eminent doctors of philosophy have given
opinions as to the ingredients which com.
pose many of the articles sold under that
name. The investigations have narrow
ed the limit which awards the Royal Bak-
ing Powder the palm of purity, and sew.
eral of the most distinguished scientists
have testified 10 their conviction that no
eXtraneous or deleterious matter enters
into its composition. The Royal Baking
Powder Company have achicYed a world
wide reputation for the success which
has marked their preparation Of cream
Of tartar for baking purposes. 1t is in.
disputably shown that they eliminated
all elements of tartrate of lime, alum or
other impurities, and present to the pub.

Such widely known chemists as Henry
Morton, E. G. Love, ii. A. Mott, VIM.
McMurtrie and others have verified its
superiority over other manufacture and
testified, through practical experience, to
its excellence. II is well for families to
observe the fact that 1t costs more to man
ufacture the Royal Baking Powder than
any other, but II is, as shown by chemical
analysis, the one absolutely pure" bak-

The Fish Law.

For the benefit of the public generally
and in response to numerous inquiries
touching the present Fish Law, we pub
lish the act of 1885 in full:
"Be 1t enacted, &C., That any person
who is a citizen of this state may catch
fish by means of any trap, box, basket,
baitnet any of whose meshes or openings
are not less than one and one-half inches
in diameter in any stream in this state as
far as nayigable."
1t will be seen from the foregoing that
fishing by any of the means specified is
positively prohibited in this county as no
stream passing through it is navigable.

TEE GnEAr STRIKE BROKEN.

Since Mr.. IRoxs has ordered the knights
of Labor to resume work pending arbitra-
ton of the difficulties with the railroad Off
cials, the worst may be considered over
and the strike broken, Though srbitra-
ton may not give the knights all they
have been couiendiDg for, yet the conces-
sions that the company may make viii
doubtless be met with even greater conces-
sions on the part of the Knights.
The closing Of this great strike will be
subject Of rejoicing all over the country,
Thousands Of men have been out Of en-
ployment; some sections Of the West were
/ beginning to fear famine; the trade OF
the railroads had greatly suffered and the
business Of many towns and cities was at
a standstil.
Public opinion supports Mr.. PoWDERLT
10 saying that the strike was a mistake.
Such should never be attempted, even
where there are great grievances, until all
other means fail. Bot though the strike
vas q mistake, the general good order that
has prevailed is remarkable. Among all
the thousands Of unemployed men, riotous
outbreaks occurred only at q few points.
These outbreaks were led on BY hotheads,
Who we're ignorant Of the objects Of their
order.
The manner in which Mr. POwDEELY
has borne himself in this contest is greatly
to his credit. Despite the great obstacles
in the way he did not desiss until he had
placed the matter before GOULD and gain
ed assurances from him. This is VIC
tory worth winning, and the friends of or
gained labor have not only cause
10 thank the chief Of the Knights
tor the prudence and intelligence
With which he hiss managed difficult case
out they have cause for serious thought 81
to the effects of too rapid increase in the
order over which he presides. II evidently
required all tho authority bis position gives
him to force the local leaders of the strike
to listen to reason, and the telegraph hs;
reported mutterings Of discomfort and din
seusion on the part of men who seem to
have freely talked of attempting Mr.. Pow
DEsLY's displacement.
It's nov evident that the members o.
the Knights of Labor need to be vel
acquainted with the objects and principles
of their order. The decision that no neS
members shall be taken in the order till the
plesent membership are better instructed
is good one. Mr.. PowDERLY can yery
proftably spend bis time for few weeks
10 instructing his organization.
