ECONOMY OF THE LAST CON
GRESS.

By some thimble-rigging process the
Democratic Congressional Campaign com,
mittee at Washington has tabulated fig
ures which are made to show the super
iority of Democratic to Republican
economy, as evidenced by the present
administration. The plain facts are that
the last congress appropriated $3e3, ,684,-
287 for paying the expenses of the current
fiscal year, while the estimated revenues
for the same period are only $562, ,542,-
252, leaving probable deficiency of
$21, ,142,035. This may be Democratic
economy, but it is not the kind of econo-
my the people of this country have been
used to, or will approve.
1t should be understood that the house
of representatives., now Democratic. and
not the senate, now Republican, is
responsible primarily for the amount of
the congressional appropriations. Meas
ures of taxation must, under the constitu.
tion, originate in the lower house. Of
course the house in which the revenue
laws originate has mandatory control
over laws regulating expenditures. In
all cases the party having majority in
the house of representatives is responsible
for errors and is to be credited with wise
measures, in financial Legislation.

PROTECTING IRON.
A Process Which Wal Prevent the Rust-
ing of Gas and Water Pipes.

A Process Which WEI Prevent the Rust-
ing of Gas and Water Pipes.
The liability of iron to rust is great
drawback to it's use for many purposes,
and the practical value sof a process
which will protect it at slight expense
is self-evident. That the process is
successful in accomplishing this Object
seems no longer a matter of doubt, and
at less cost than galvanizing or timing.
The color on cast and wrought iron Is
a blush gray, which to some NAV be-
Objectionable, but, as the coating takes
paint far better than untreated iron.
this objection is easily overcome, and
with the assurance that the paint viii
remain, and not soon be thrown off, as
it is generally. For polished work the
color is a lustrous blue-black, adding
greatly to the beauty of the article
treated. This process seems peculiar
ly well adapted for gas and water,
pipes. Any one who has had occasion
to use water which has passed through
a new iron pipe, or one that has not
been used for some time, knows how
full of rust it ias and that only after,
months of constant use does it became
clear again. With pipe coated with
the magnetic oxide by the Bower-Bar
process. no trouble of the kind can oc-
cur. The water runs pure from the
first day, and if for any reason the pipes
gre emptied, and left so, there is no
LANCER of their becoming coated with
rust. Another important fact is, that
the water coming through one of these
rustless pipes is just as pure as when it
entered, for the water can dissolve
none of the coating of oxide, as it al
ways does with lead or galvanized
pipes. 1t is a well-known fact that
water running through lead pipes is
very apt to contain lead In solution,
and the continued use of such water
causes lead-poisoning, for although the
amount (ef lead) dissolved may be
very small, still it accumulates in the
system, and finally causes sickness and
disease.--J. g G. Wells, 80 Raps1ksr.

FOOD FRAUDS.

THR SHAMEFUL USE OF LIME AND ALUM
IN CHEAP BAKING POWDERS.
Many food frauds, such as chicory cof-
fee or watered milk, although they are
swindle in commercial sense, are often
tolerated because they do not particularly
affect the health of the consumer; but
when an article like baking powder, that
enters largely into the food of every fam
lily, and is relied upon for the healthfnl
preparation offalmost every meal, is so
madesas to carry highly injurious, if not
rankfy poisonous, elements into the bread
to the imminent danger of the entire
community, it is the duty of the press to
denounce the practice in the most EN-.
pbatic terms.
Among recent important discoveries by
the food analysis is that by Prof. 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 low grade,
inferior baking powders so far analyzed,
comprising all those sold in this vicinity,
not one OF them, with the single excep-
ton of the Royal Baking Powder, was
found free from both lime and alum. The
chief service of lime, when subjected to
heat, gives off certain amount of car
bonic acid gas, but a quick-lime is left
a caustic go powerful that it is used by
tanners to eat the hair from hides of ami
mails, and in disc citing rooms to more
quickly rot the flesh from the bones of
dead subjects A small quantity of dry
lime upon the tongue, or in the eye,
produces painful effects; how much more
serious must these effects be OF the deli
cate membranes of the stomach, intestines
and kidneys, more particularly of infants
and children, and especially when the
lime is taken into the system day after
day, and with most every meal. This is
said by the physicians to be one of the
chief causes of indigestion, dyspepsia, and
those painful diseases of the kidneys now
so prevalent. Instances of the most
serious affections of the latter organs from
drinking lime water found in some sec
tions of the West are noted in every
medical journal.
Adulteration with lime quite as much
to be dreaded as with alum, which has
heretofore received the most emphatic
condemnation from every food analyst,
physician and chemist, for the reason
that, while alum is probably partially
dissolved and passed off in gas by the heat
of baking, it is impossible to destroy or
change the nature of the lime in any de-
gree, SO that the entire amount in the
baking powder passes, with all its injuri-
Gus properties, into the stomach. When
we state that the chemists have found
twelve per cent. or one-eighth of the
entire weight of some samples of baking
powder analysed, to be lime, the wicked
ness of the adulteration will be fully
apparent.
Pure baking powders are one of the
chief aids to the cook in preparing perfect
and wholesome food While those are to
be obtained of fwell-established reputatio n
like the Royal, of whose purity there has
never been and cannot be question, it
is proper to avoid all others.

THE GENTLE MUSTANG.

Disposition and Accomplishments of the
Furious Steeds of<the West.
The mustang of the West is neither a
hing of beauty nor a JOY forever.
It is composed principally of appetite
and heels, the latter having control
ling interest. 1t has no resemblance to
The Arabian steed or the war-like
chargers of the North. 1t favors a
clothes rack considerably, and is fre-
quently used to hang old clothes On of
a wash-day.
Most horses have nice names, but the
mustang has none, with the positive
exception of few desultory hairs be-
tween the ears which look more forlorn
than false bang after being soaked in
tub of water. aFe
The mustang has mild, inoffensive
eye, and sometimes it looks at you with
an appearance of brotherly love that is,
quite touching. It is then that you will
find it healthy to secure a seat on the
house top or in the foliage of lordly
sycamore.
The mustang clothes a vengeful and
desperate spirit under the guise of white
winged peace, and when you think you
have won his affections and conquered
his naughty pride, he concentrates all
the elements of revolt, anarchy and
Nihilism in his southeast corner, and
when you have disentangled yourself
from his heels you find your remains
ready for an inquest as soon as tho
coroner can scrape them together.
The author of this brief tract once
had loving friend whose truthful
nature and large balance at the bank
endeared him to all.
He unfortunately became possessed
with the idea of owning mustang and
bought one of pale blonde complex
ion with brunette stripe down its back
and a SPAWN on each leg.
1t seemed of quiet and reserved dis
position at first. and the young man
would caress it lovingly and call it his
hearts delight.
It was while he was caressing the
noble animal one day that he im@g.
ined he had stepped on the wrong end
Of an earthquake He waited until the
dust had settled and then discovered
that the majority of his remains vera
plastered on the wire fences for half q
mile while the balance still clRng to
the mustangs heels. ]
It is perhaps needless to add that the
loved and once loving mustang died
young. Walt Mason, tas st. Louis Whip.

THE CHURCH IN PRACTICAL
POLITICS.

The Prohibition party in this state is a
political party with a political platform
and political ticket The party candi-
date for governor is J. M. Olin, politi-
clan. The first campaign meeting of this
party at Oshkosh was held in the First
Methodist church, at which Candidate
Olin made his first stump speech.
1t will be regarded as a very extraor
dinary event that a political campaign
should open in a church
The political meeting was opened by
the pastor of the church, the platform
being occupied by several politicians,
including the candidate who made the
stump speech of the evening.
It must occur to Methodists who have
not lost their judgement, that this is a
proceeding that cannot be defended. The
First Methodist church of Oshkosh is an
institution formally dedicated to a par
ticular and religious cause, and is exempt
from taxation entirely because of its non
political and religious character.
The Prohibition party is a political
party aiming, ostensibly, to gain control
of the agencies of government. 1t is ab-
solutely political party, though numer-
ically insignificant, as the Republican or
Democratic party. When it is given the
use of the untaxed church, including the
pastor, the church, enters into practical
politics as a society and forfeits whatever
esteem it may have had in its non partisan
capacity.
If the Methodist church may thus go
into active politics to secure one particular
end, it may go in to secure other ends in
legislation; and thus it becomes menace
to society as an organized force. If the
Methodists may give their organized in
fluence to particular legislative ends, the
Catholic church may do the same for
other legislative ends.
The churchman in politics and the
church in politics are very different things
and it is to be hoped the reasonable peo-
pie of Mr.. Wilcox's charge, whether they

Purity or the Race.
NEW ORLEANS, La, Sept. 20.--A meet
ing In Cerfuge grove, Bossier parish, IN
the northern portion Of the state, close
on the Arkansas line, has inaugurated
rigorous and aggressive campaign
against miscegenation and cohab-
itation between whites and blacks.
There have been several spasmodic
efforts OF late years to suppress misceg'-
nation In North Louisiana through vigil
lance committees, but this Is the first
practical and general effort In this direc-
ton. A meeting was held In Bossier In
July TO discuss the subject and adjourned
over to this month to fad the drift OF
public sentiment. This being found
favorable in an anti-mlsccgination cams
paign, the recent mass meeting was held
10 devise what steps should be taken
There was no secrecy OF mystery ABOUT
II Preachers, farmers and all the people
of the neighborhood assembled. The
meeting was opened with prayer and
minister presided. The resolutions
strongly denounced miscegination, ana
threatened to socially boycott all white
men with negro wives or mistresses.
A vigilance committee OF nineteen
was appointed to warn most -.
