An encouraging sign for the young and enter
prising Chicago Nail is the fact that il has al.
ready been sued for libel, the damages being
laid at $4,000. This, for a beginning, is pretty
good 1t shows that the new paper has infiu-
ence, and is probably making money Our
old neighbors, Messrs. Hatton and Snowden. are
to be congratulated.

The President and cabinet passed yesterday
evening discussing what to do if the Senate
insisted on the reasons for changes ia certain
cases in the civil service. Both parties in this
controversy seem a little timid in opening fire,
and for the present are simply skirmishing TO
discover the position and strength of the enemy.
1t Is not unlikely, however, that the issue Will
be sharply drawn and contested. Both sides
would rather like a little fresh party capital for
use next fall. The republicans would be glad to
show that the administration fell below its civil
service reform pretensions, and the democrats
would like to have ground for a claim that the
republicans, defeated elsewhere, were making
desperate stand in the Senate, as "a last ditch
TO keep their grip on patronage. Hence il is
not improbable that We shall have a political
furry.

In all soberness, is Ii not time to deal with
the question of pensions from some other stand
point than the reelection of members OF Con-
gressc Is IL too much TO ask Congressman to
deal with this class of legislation on its merits
and with some reference to.the public financese
There is proposition pending to extend the
limit of time for filing applications for arrears
of pensions TO 1883, and the bill meets with a
significant degree Of favor. Yet the Pension
Office states that the bin passes il will require
expenditure of $4,000, 600 TO meet the
claims already filed in the office In expectation
that this measure will become a law! Is there
TO be no moderation, no limit. no barriers to
this legislation? Are TO understand that
the veterans of the war. who once saved the
Union, are now banded into a compact lobby,
whose luminosity is death to any politicians
hopes, and who are relentlcssly using their
power to bankrupt the national treasury? But
there can be no doubt that this pressure, which
seems TO be formidable, is largely artificial. AS
every one knows who has lived in Washington
and has examined the subject, the moving
forces In stirring up demands for new legisla-
ton are the claim agents who ind their livel.
hood by thus creating business. Were Congress
TO take firm and frank stand on this question
members might find public feeling unexpect-
edly strong in their support.

key is turned and all men not in the

BAKING-POWDER TRAMPS.

The danger to the public health
from the indiscriminate use Of the
many lime and alum baking powders
Of commerce has been so fully ex-
posed that everybody desires to avoid
them. As forewarned is forearmed,"
housekeepers will thank US for ap-
prising them of the special efforts at
present being made to dispose Of such
powders in this vicinity.
The proprietors of some of the worst
Of these powders are now going from
house to house, trying by means Of
trick, or so-called test, with heat and
water, to show that their article is as
good as the Royal Baking Powder,
making the comparison with this
brand because everybody recognizes it
to be absolutely pure and wholesome,
the object, of course, being to supply
their own goods in place of the Royal,
which housekeepers have for so many
years relied upon to puff up the morn
ing biscuit, and to make the light, pal.
atable, and wholesome roll, cake, and
pastry for which it is famous. y ~
The housekeeper will do we'll to be
on her guard against these baking
powder tramps. Every intelligent
person knows that any goods peddled
from house to house in this manner,
or that are given away in samples, or
sought to be introduced by secretly
traducing the character of other goods
well known to be pure and reliable,
have no merits of their own, and have
failed to find purchasers through legit-
mate means. 49,
We are informed, as a mxtter of
fact, that one of these tramps is trying
to Introduce powder that, has been
found by the Government chemist to
be 1l.S5 per cent lime, while the other
peddlesa powder that is 20 per cent.
alum-one powerful caustic, the
other corrosive poison.
No such tricks or jugglery. will be
apt to deceive any intelligent person.
The housekeeper who has used her
Royal Baking Powder ever since she
discarded cream of tartar and soda,
knows more about its qualities than
all the tramps in the country can
teach her. The crucial test to which
she has put the Royal Baking Powder
the test of actual and successful work
in the preparation of pure and whole
some food, under which it has never
failed-is entirely satisfactory to her.
She has always had good luck" with
it in making light, sweet, and delicious
bread, biscuit and cake, and has placed
it, to stay, at the head of her house
keeping favorites. She knows that it
has been officially approved by the
Government chemists as the best, and
We imagine that the baking powder
tramp who attempts to supplant its
place in her confidence will find this
bad year for his business.
