FOR STATE SENATOR.

On the 9th. of July the Democrats
OF this county will meet in convention
to place in nomination candidates for
the several county offices to be voted
tor at the fall elections. At the same
time there will be elected Senatorial
conferees TO meet similar confereees
from the several counties of the twenty
fourth Senatorial district.
Up to this time there has been no
announcement for the office of State
Senator, and it has become apparent
that there will be no candidate in this
county unless some suitable man is
taken up, even though against his will,
and brought to the front as the stand
ard bearer of the Democracy of Colum-
bia county in the Senatorial contest.
When the Office seeks the man it is
sure to be we'll filed. There is a
gentleman in Blosmsburg who has
served the party faithfully for many
years, whose voice has been heard in
every township advocating the princi-
pies OF Democracy, who has labored at
all times without any expectation Of
personal gain or of political preferment.
lie has meyer been an offi,e-seeker, and
as he is lawyer of wide reputation,
an eloquent speaker, and an incorrupt-
ible man, his presence in the Senate
would do great credit not only to this
county, but to the entire district. We
refer to Col. John G. Freeze, and we
take the responsibility of announcing
his name in the hope that he may be
induced to allow it to stand, and with
the firm belief that his consent is all
that is necessary to secure Tor him a
unanimous nomination in this county.

The Morrison bill revising the tariff
was defeated last week, Thursday, by
the refusal of the House to consider
the bill, by vote of lao to 157. Three
Pennsylvania democratic congressman,
Storm, Scott and Swope, voted for the
consideration of the bill, and Boyle,
Curtin, Ermentrout, Randall and Sow
den voted against it, Both political
parties in their platforms of 1884,
pledged themselves to revision of the
tariff, having due regard for the inter-
ests OF the country. 1t is claimed by
the opponents of the Morrison bill that
it does not do this, but simply makes
an indi.criminate reduction in the
tariff.
The defeat of the Morrison bill now
imposes upon Mr.. Randall the direct
and absolute necessity of proposing a
measure of tariff revision and revenue
reform that will meet the requirements
OF the time and the pledges of his own
party. Tariff revision in the interest
OF free trade has been shown to be i'm
possible, but the demand for a revision
of the tariff, an equalization and sim.
plification of duties, the removal OF
oppressive burdens and the reduction
OF surplus revenue cannot be and ought
not to be disregarded. While both
parties have pledged themselves to this
task in almost Identical terms, the Dem
ocratic party, as controlling the House
OF Representatives, has the opportunity
aud therefore the immediate duty tc
show what its pledges mean,

Probable Effect of the New Tax Law.

The Supreme Court having sustained
the present tax law, it may not be amiss
to consider the probable result of its
enforcement. The first assessment
made under its provision is of necessity
very imperfect. The assessors were
compelled to apply the provisions
of law which some of them under
stood very imperfectly, and toward
which they were not in all cases friend
ly. They had to do this in an atmos.
phere of opposition to the law and in
the face Of actual and threatened legal
injunctions to prevent its enforcement.
Naturally good deal of personal prop
erty and moneyed capital escaped as
sessment, which will be compelled to
bear its share of State taxes under
future assessments, now that assessors
have become familiar with the work
ings of a law that can be enforced.
In spite of the shortcomings and i'm
perfections of the new assessment it ia
likely TO increase the revenues of the
State in the neighborhood of million
dollars. The increase will be entirely
upon various forms of moneyed capital
that formerly escaped taxation. This
increase in revenues will be direct
bid for all sorts Of extravaganza in
appropriations. AS long as there is d
dollar in sight there will be some But
termore ready TO introduce bill to ap-
propnate it to local hospital or other
scheme organized for the sole purpose
OF getting money out of the Treasury.
The problem for the next Legislature
will be that of properly redistributing
the State taxes so that no more NAV
come into the State Treasury than is
absolutely necessary for State purposes.
This can be done by passing law
diverting the present tavern, eating
house, brewers, boltlers' and whole.
sale liquor licenses into the treasures
OF the respective counties in which they
are collected. This, on the basis of
the collections of 1885, will reduce the
State revenues about $S5O,OOO and
make the local taxation necessary for
county purposes just that much lighter
1t that should be found not to reduce
the State revenues sufficiently the mer-
camille licenses might also be diverted
into the same channel, reducing the
State revenues another half million.
What is called for now is the careful
and thorough collection of the money
tax and the diversion of other taxes to
local purposes to a sufficient extent to
keep the State revenues within reason
able limits. 1t might not be bad
thing in this connection to repeal the
tax on household furniture entirely.
This is matter, however, for future
consideration, when it is found Just
how much the three mill tax will bring
into the Treasury. In general there
should be a readjustment that would
Tighten the burden of local taxation,
which is by far the heaviest item of
taxation paid by the people of the
Commonwealth, amounting to some
thirty millions of dollars, as against the
six or seven millions required for State

will bring the total up to over hundred
and six--a third of the entire force.
This is by far the best record of dis.
missals yet made in the department.
Last week Mr.. Hoar, of Mass. SUBJ
mitted a resolution proposing a con-
stitutional amendment to provide that
the term Of the presidents Office and
| of the next Congress shall be prolong-
ed until the last Tuesday of April 1889
at midday the Senators whose present
terms would otherwise expire on March
4tb. 1889 shall continue in Office until
noon of the last Tuesday in April
succeeding such expiration. The last
Tuesday Of April shall therefore be
substituted for the 4th. of March AZ
the beginning and ending of the Off
cial term of the President, Vice-Presi-
dent, Senators and Representatives in
Congress.
The most noteworthy social events
during the past week were the two re-
ceptions given by the President and
his wife, the first being a card receipt
ion to the Army and Navy diplomats
and other officials. the last to the gen
eral public on Friday evening which
was probably the largest reception
ever held at the White House. No
other announcement was made than
the one in the daily papers and in
these the hours named were from nine
till eleven, but, at that hour, there was
a line of eager faces anxious to shake
hands with the President and his bride,
that Mr.. Cleveland sent word that he
would see them all if it took until day
break. This was the last reception
Mrs. Cleveland will hold until the
opening of the next season and until
then she will be at home only TO her
personal friends.

Analysing the Baking Powders.

Under the direction of the New York
State Board of Health, eighty-four diff
ferent kinds of baking powders, EN-.
bracing all the brands that could be
found for sale in the state, were sub
mitted to examination and analysis by
Prof. Q. +. Chandler, Member of the
State Board aud President of the New
York City Board of Health, assisted by
Prof. Edward G. Love, the we'll known
late United States Government chemist.
The Official report shows that a
large number of the powders examined
were fopnd to contain alum or lime ;
many of them to such an extent as to
render them seriously Objectionable for
use in the preparation of human food.
Alum was found in twenty-nine sam
pies. This drug is employed in baking
powders to cheaper their cost. The
presence or lime is attributed to the
impure cream of tartar of commerce
used in their manufacture. Such cream
of tartar was also analysed, and found
to contain lime and other impurities (;
In some samples to the extent of SO
per cent. of their entire weight.
All the baking powders Of the mar :
ket, with the single exception of "Roy-
al mot including the alum and phos-
phate powders, which were long since
discarded as unsafe or inefficient by
prudent house-keepers) are made from
the impure cream of tartar of commerce
and consequently contain lime to a
corresponding extent.
The only baking powder yet found
by chemical analysis to be entirely free
from lime and absolutely pure is the
"Royal.' This perfect purity results
from the exclusive use of cream of tar
tar specially refined and prepared by
patent processes of the N. Y. Tartar
Co, which totally remove the tartrate
of lime and other impurities. The cost
of this chemically pure cream of tartar
Is much greater than any other, and OH
account OF this greater cost is used in
no baking powder but the "Royal."
Prof. Love, who made the analysis
of baking powders for the New York
State Board of Health as well as for
the government says of the purity and
wholesomeness of "Royal;'
81 have tested a package of Royal
Baking Powder which purchased in
the open market, and find it composed
of pure and wholesome Ingredients. 1t
is a cream of tartar powder of high
degree of merit. end does not contain
either alum or phosphates or any in
furious substances.

The President on Private Pension Claims

WASHINGTON, June 22.-The nine
vetoes by the President of private pen
sion bills were laid before the House
to-day. Their reading caused many
smiles because of the caustic language
employed by Mr.. Cleveland in speak
ing of unworthy claims. In one case
it appeared that the claimant was be-
ing treated for rheumatism at the time
when be pretended to have been
wounded. Another claimant was John
w. Farris, who was pensioned sixteen
years after his discharge for chronic
diarrhea. He afterward filed an ap-
plication for increase of his rate, alleg-
ing that in 1884 his eyes became affect
ed in consequence of bis previous all
ments. The President says "The
ingenuity developed in the constant
and persistent attacks upon the public
Treasury by those claiming pensions
and the increase of those already grant
ed is exhibited in bold relief by this at
tempt to include sore eyes among the
results Of diarrh9a.

CRACY is NOT FOR FREE TRADE.
From The Atlanta Constitution.
The Democratic party of the present
day is not free trade party, as Mr..
Morrison will discover before he gives
up his efforts to make it such. He
has been deceived by Mr.. Watterson,
and he has been deceived by the a,ti-
tude of various Southern Congressman.
1t may be that the complexion of the
Democratic party at the North Is pretty
much what it was before the war,
though this fact is by no means attest.
ed by the attitude of the members of
Congress from that section but the
complexion of the Democratic party in
the South is entirely different.
This section has entered upon a new
era of development. All the old con-
ditions are changed. We no longer
boast that this is an exclusively agri-
cultural section; we are striving to
build up all sorts of industries, from
the smallest to the greatest we are
even striving to compete with New
England in some lines of manufactures.
In fine, the people of this section, no
matter what the newspapers may say,
and no matter what the attitude of
Southern Congressman may be, are in
favor of protection to home industries.
The most unintelligent farmer knows
that he must have nearer home markets
before he can prosper, as the farmers
of the North and West have prospered
and he knows that the building up of
industries in the South will give him
these home markets.
