Not Affected by Age.

Some old specimens of Royal Baking Powder
that had been kept on the shelf of grocery
store for ten years, were recently tested by Pro.
lessor Schneider, Of New York, for the purpose OF
measuring the loss of strength they had under
gone. II was found that although the powde
he'd been exposed to atmospheric changes dur.
ing all this time-ior il was not in ar.tight cans
its LOSE of raising power or strength was less
than one per cent, the powder being practically
as good as the day it was put up.
This is most valuable quality in baking
powder, one which few possess. Most powters
if not used when first made are found to be inef.
fecaive. If kept even few weeks they lose
their leaveniug power, become lumpy or caked.
and valueless. This Is particularly the case with
" bread preparations" or baking powders made
from phosphates.
This superior keeping quality ia the ROYAL "
arises from the extraordinary care in its manu-.
facure, and The scientific principles EMPLOYED in
its combination. The articles used in It's compo-
siion are thoroughly dried by heat before being
compounded, and are so prepared and coated as
tOprevent the action of the acid upon the alkali
prematurey, or except under the influence of
hea! or water necessarily used 10 cooking or
baking.
The Royal Baking Powder is now used ex-
tensively in Australia, Africa and other low lat
itudes. where it has been found TO he the only
baking powder that will withstand the hoi.
moist atmosphere without deterioration.

The Episcopal ConyocasIon.

The Diocese of Florida is divided into three
convocaiions-the Eastern, Western and South
ern-and is composed of The clergy and laity of
the Episcopal Church. The body is not vested
with legislative powers and only comes together
To discuss church matters ofthc district,
The East Florida COnvocaton convenes this
evening in this city, AT ST. Johns Church. Rev.
o. p Thackara, of FernaDdina, is dean. Papers
will be read gu different subjects and discussed.
One of the most important papers will be read
by Rev. Brooke G. White, ots this city, on the
duty Of the cOnvocation to the colored people.
Col J. J. Daniel, of this city, will also address
the assembly upon the same subject.
The impression Of some that the meeting oil

kind ever comes before tbis body.-JacksOApiie
Herald, 26th. 81.
1t is hoped by very large number Of
the churchmen of the diocese that when
a bishop is elected Rev. DR.. J. J. Scott,
of Pensacola, will be elevated to that po-
sition. Standing as a patriarch among
the clergy, eminent alike for his learning
and his Jealous piety, it is fitting that his
record Of good works should be recog-
nized by preferment, and the hale winter
of his life be crowned with the dignity he
would grace so well, aud the various du
ties of which he would discharge SO
wisely, impressively and energetically.

Governor Perry Returns.

Governor Perry returned from Wash
ington last Monday. and we think that an
early adjustment of the involved matters
which were the occasion of his journey
will probably result from it. Officials
and committee men were clearly informed
in the premises by the Governor and an
early settlement of the Indian War ac-
counts may be anticipated, As also that
the entangled matter of the swamp and
OVERLOOKED lands will be promptly
Strengthened out under the light let in
upon it. In the matter Of payment for
census work in Florida, which was with
held because returns from all counties
were not received within time specified,
the Governors representations will doubt
less induce an adequate appropriation.

We published last week an extract
from the report of the State Comptroller
for the fiscal year ending December 81,
1885, and this week we print from the
same report table showing the assess
ment of the taxable property OF the
State bv counties, which foots up &c.,
667,45s.
If continuous and rapid increase IN
the taxable resources OF State Is the
best evidence of its prosperity we
know of no better-Florida has no equal
in that respect. In 1880 the assessment
rolls showed the value of the taxable
property to be s3l, ISL, s46, in 1881 it was
$50 ,243,543, in 1882 $+5 ,2s5 ,977, III 1888
$55,249,3II, in 1884 $60,o42 ,655, and in
1885 $70,661, ASS, being an increase OF
about $4,000, 900 in five years, of one
hundred per cent. in four years, and ten
millions in one year. While this exhibit
may appear snail in comparison with
many othrr and older states, none can
~llVh SUM- iCIdti't gam. NV "''"N~
indebtedness of the State, as appears
from said report, Is in most satisfactory
condition. The entire outstanding debt
is sl,o6 400, and of this s594,7 700 is
held by the several educational funds OF
the State, leaving only Si72.7oo in the
hands of outside parties to be provided
for at maturity. With such showing
as this it is easy To understand why Flor
ida securities are in such demand, and
readily command high premium.
The people OF Florida have cause to
congratulate themselves upon the healthy
condition of their State finances, and
upon the evidence given of their contin'
ued good management. They have reason
also to feel assured that the genius Of
progress and material advancement which
has SO impressed itself upon our beloved
State since the beginning of the present
| decade is not in the least abating, but
that future of even greater prosperity
| awaits us

In The Senate.
WASHINGTON. ID & Ian % 1

WASHINGTON. d. C., JAN 90, 1885,
Editors FI0ridiaR The venerable Senator
from Vermont (MorrlD has been month pre.
pairing his reply to The great speech of Senator
Beck ON the Silver bill He read il from mann.
script, and il was remarkable for two things:
its great length, and want Of logical argument
TO sustain his position.
AS he is the senior Senator in age Of the Sen.
ate that body usually accords to him the respect
due TO his age, and may say TO his infirmity.
The venerable Senator is inclined to indulge
in what he thinks humor by relating stale anec-
dotes TO illustrate his argument but his atelnpts
in that line induce me more to tears than mirth
1t is evident that he has reached that state Of
senility that would enure to the benefit of him
self and his party for him to be placed on the re-
tired list, even a, full pay.
During the delivery of bis speech Senator
Beck took seat on the Republican side of the
Chamber aud was an attentive listener; at its
conclusion he sprang to his feet and in fifteen
minutes completely demolished the aged Sena.
tors statements. His reply should have flashed
conviction on the mind of any one but a bond
holder or Wall street banker.
was present yesterday at an exciting debate
that occurred in the House 1t was on the re-
port of the Naval committee on the Norfolk
navy yard resolutions. 1t was the first ATTEMPT
of the Republicans at fillibustering at this ses-
sion. Mr.. Boutelle, of Maine, emerged from his
hitherto obscure position and attained some no.
toriety which no doubt he has mistaken for fame,
by making bloody-shirt speech Represents
tive Geo. ID. Wise electrified the House by hs
spirited and vigorous reply he controverted
every statement made by the member from
Maine, and proved them false. The applau&
on the Democratic eide was boisterous when he
concluded, and he was surrounded by his friends
with congratulatory hand-shaking-one messbcr
actually embraced him.
The Electoral Count bill is before the Senate,
and the President OR. Sherman) opened the de-
bate in speech in which it was evident be had
given the subject earnest consideration. he
moved an amendment to the bill, which was
objected 10 by Senator Edmunds, and favored
by Senator Eyarts. Again the two Constiiu.
tional lawyers on the Republican side are op-
posed to each other, and protracted debate on
the bill is anticipated. Ii is not a party quest
ion and it will be discussed with great deliber-
alton and ability, for it is the most important
one that will come before this Congress.

Tax on Drum mers.

\ recent decision Of the Supreme Court
Of the United States pronouncing against
the constitutionality OF a Michigan stat
ute taxing drummers, is being passed
around by the press as something new in
the Interpretation OF the laws on that
subject, and as wiping out all State
laws taxing this useful class Of bust
ness men. This is a mis- ak". Tho
same question has been decided in
the same way before, and the ruling APP
plies only where the statute makes a dis
elimination between the citizen and non
resident, and between domestic and
foreign goods.
To prevent any confusion or misap-
prehension on that question in this State,
we quote from our statute the clause in
full authorizing the tax on drummers ;
from which it will be seen that our law
is general, and not open to the constitu-
tional objection upon which the court
ruled in the Michigan case
Commercial agents, usually known as dunn
mers," shall pay license for the State of TWEEN
ty-five dollars, and shall not be subject To any
other license tax. ANY commercial agent usu-
ally known as drummer" who shall fail to
exhibit his lie ense such TO Collector Of Rev
enne or his Deputy, before soliciting any orders
or doing any business whatever as a drummer
or commercial agent, shall be deemed guilty Of
a msdemeanor, and shall be fined not less than
fifty, nor more than one hundred dollars, or pun.
shed by imprisonment in the county Jail not ex
ceedipg Two months.
The New York Herald of 10th, com
menting on this decision, makes the follow
ing clear and pertinent remarks
The court does not hold that a Stale may no
| impose tax or license on commercial travel
| ers. On the contrary, il admits that The Mich
| gan statute would be within the power OF tht
| State had its provisions been made applicable tt
resident and nonresident statesmen alike, and tt
| the products OF Michigan and those of othe
| States equally. A Slate has right to- tax drum
| mers, hut not to tax those from other States
while exempting its own citizens. Ii has RICH
10 tax liquors or other goods, but il has no righ
| to tax the products of other States and exemp
| its own. The law must be general and make n,
| distinction between citizens and non residents
between home and foreign productions. II il
| discrimination against other States that is uii
| constitutional.
