A Democrat, speaking in casual con-
versation the other day upon Mime
sofa politics, said Of the Republican
state platform: "1f that is Repub-
lican doctrine, then / am a Republl-
can" Praising in the warmest terms
throughout the declaration of the
state convention, as n statesmanlike
and honest utterance upon living
questions of the day, and comparing
it favorably with the cringing geneT-
alities of the Democratic platform, he
declared that upon this ground, he in
tended to vote the Republican ticket.
A marked contrast to this was fur
ished by another who took up the
same subject. Asked what he thought
OF the Republican state platform, he
replied: ~ haven't read it. don't
care what it says. When 1 heard
that the Democrats had nominated
Ames, knew that should vote for
any Republican who might be named
against, no matter what kind of
platform lie should stand on" These
two men and their opinions are repre-
sentative. They stand for thousands
of voters all over the State of Mill
nesota who are going to unite in MAX
ing the Republican majority greater
than was ever before known in an off
year. Political fights are made either
OH men or OH principles. The Demo-
Gratis have neither.-Pioneer Press.

SAVE THE CHILDREN.

Detrimental foods, which, by reason
Of their superior strength, may not
seriously affect the health of adults,
as Is we'll known, frequently act upon
the more delicate organs of the child
to produce disorders of the most
serious character. The amount OF
laudanum or other poison that would
be harmless to an adult will cause the
death of an infant. This great diff
ference between the vitality of adults
and children is too generally over
looked in the preparation of food. Be-
cause no harm Immediately percepti-
BILE comes to the adultby the use of
an article of food, no thought is given
to the effect it may have upon the
more delicate organs of inferior age.
Children diet largely upon cake and
bread, and these articles. IL light,
sweet and composed of materials that
are free from injurious substances, are
easily digested, nutritious and whole
some. There is danger to our children
however, lurking in their bread and
cake which is too often lost sight Of.
These articles s ere :. now leavened large
T.! ~ by ~ t1aking powders, and when pure
and wholesome baking powders are
used, they make not only the most
palatable food, but one much more
wholesome and nutritive than if
leavened with yeast or cream Of tar
tar and soda. The trouble arises from
the fact as shown by recent scientific
tests by the Government chemists

The victory of the Mayfower over
the Galatea in the contest for the
Americas cup, excited a great deal OF
interest ON both sides of the ocean,
and the final victory was very crafty
ing to the pride of the American
people. But the contest drew atten-
ton to series of facts that are not
complimentary to Americans. We
excel, it seems, in models of sailing
vessels, but in the commerce of the
world wind-propelled ships are obso-
lste. and our superiority of model does
us no good. We have practically no
steam merchant marine. The COM
merce of our own country, all our inn
ports and exports, are carried by
foreign steamships, of which Great
Britain owns the greater number. The
profits are said to aggregate from $780,
100000 to 100000, 900 per annum, all
of which goes to enrich merchants of
other nations than our own. England
can afford to concede superiority of
model to America in pleasure yachts,
when her steamship lines carry the
commerce of the world from which the
flag of the United States is at present
practically excluded.-From De-
morest's Monthly for November.

Hixson and Costello were placed in
nomination for the state senate and
legislature by the farmers of this dis
trict. They have also been endorsed
by the republicans. The democrats
have seen mt to pace in nomination
cccntestlng candidates for the same
positions. What can the democratic
party managers expect to gain by ar
ranging the farmers action, or in an
tagonizing the producing class? Sure
ly those republicans who have been
wavering on the state ticket, who
were just ready to fall to McGill or
Ames as they were Influenced by the
labor question, will learn that the
democratic party can not be trusted,
If that party work to defeat the very
men the farmers have placed their
hope on for protection IN the state
legislature.
It is said that every ingenious sub
terfuge, every fallacious argument, and
cunning deception, possible to invent
will be brought to bear to destroy the
farmers confidence in their own men.
Will this hurt the fair names of Mr..
Hixson or Mr.. Costello? That can
not be done; but the alliance and its
good work may be crippled. That is
all the opposition can do. Neither
Mr.. Hixson or Costello will resort to
the common methods, "ways that are
dark' to secure vote; neither will
they spend money, although both can
afford it, to corrupt a voter. Neither
asked for a nomination, and both
have emphatically affirmed that they
will neither ask for vote or spend q
dollar to secure one. If chosen it will
be the free choice of an unbiased
people, not the work of politicians.
We trust that this fair and unusual
position of the candidates will have
the sanction of honest men irrespec-
tive of party.-Graceville Transcript.

County Committees, newspapers,
and voters generally, should not lose
sight of the fact that All amendment
| to Article of the Constitution Will be
submitted at the general election for
rejection or approval. This amend
ment, if adopted, allows the loaning
of the permanent school fund Of the
state to the several counties and
school districts of the state, to be used
in the erection of county and school
buildings, when such loan is APP
proved by board consisting of the
Governor, State Auditor and State
Treasurer, the loan to bear interest at
five per cent and not to exceed three
per cent of the assessed valuation of
the county or district. Heretofore
these funds could only be invested in
United States bonds, bonds of Mime
sofa or of some other state approved by
the Legislature. But our own state now
has no more bonds to issue, and United
States bonds and those of other states
that offer a safe investment bear so
low rate of interest and the pre-
MUM is so high that the return is
very small. On the other hand, the
poor and sparsely settled counties
and districts of the state have to pay
a high rate of interest on all borrowed
money. New school houses and
needed educational apparatus cam
not be secured in many districts be-
cause these districts either cannot
borrow money at all or the rate OF in
terest is beyond their ability to pay.
Eight and ten per cent is the usual
rate demanded by individual money
loaners. as that is the rate which
money commands in the state even
with the best of real estate security.
But under the proposed amendment
the state would loan this surplus fund
to the counties and districts for five
per cent, making it of great Advantage
to both parties. The ballots will read
Amendment of article ~ eight Of
the Constitution" Those fayoring it
will vote (yes) those opposed (No.)

and by official boards of health, that
all these baking powders, with the
single exception of the Royal, contain
either lime, or alum, phosphates, or
acids of an injurious character. There
fore when bread or cake is made with
the use of these cheap baking powd-
ers, these ingredients (which are
present through the efforts of the
manufacturers to produce a cheaper
article) pass into the TODD and are
taken into the delicate organs ofchild-
hood where they are the source of
very much Of the disease with which
our children are afflicted.
Persons who have not strong con-
situations, growing girls, young chill
dren and nursing mothers are particu-
larly liable to the evil effects pro-
duced by the Introduction of the ad-
ulterants named, rs fond in the
cheap baking powders. Heartburn
and the prevalent forms ofindigestioD
are often solely traceable to the action
of alum on the delicate coats of the
stomach. Prof. Willard Parker, u. s
Surgeon-General Hammond, Prof
AlonzO Clark, most eminent physici
ans of New York. with scorers o
others, have written and spoken mos
earnestly of the evils arising from
partaking OF such food. There should
be as much care in the choice of
baking powder as in obtaining pure
milk or in havinga prescription com
pounded from pure drugs and moi
from poisons.
The matter is one of the greatest i'm
portance, particularly to the rising
generation, and while our conserva.
tive law makers are making up theil
minds as to the proper legislation t.
stop the sale of the poisonous com
pounds, mothers will do well to study
1t carefully. The hOusekeeper will
experience no inconvenience in dis
carding the use of the adulterated
baking powder, if she has been using
it, as the Royal Baking Powder, upon
the purity and wholesomeness of
which all the Government chemists
agree, is equally accessible; but she
will need to exercise close watch up
on her packages from the grocer, in
order to prevent the inferior brands
from creeping into her kitchen un-

The difficulty that is experienced in

draught is said to have entirely OBJ
waited by an English device. It con-
sists of number of grooved rings
placed over each other with spaces
between, and made of metal or clay.
The grooves are so shaped that when
the wind strikes them it is 80 detected
that it draws air up the chimney, and
in this way efectually prevents down

stories SO industriously circulated that
the enforcement of prohibition is ruin
ming the prosperity of Atlanta. But
Atlanta is suffering much less than is
represented, or than was expected by
Its citizens. DR.. Roy writes in the
Advance:
"The saloons have been fixed over
for other trade, and are thus being oc-
cupieI. The city has never been
doing 80 much in the way of extend
ing public improvements. It almost
staggers me to hear of the block stone
pavements going in on all the leading
streets. Miles and miles of such work
are the answer to the question as to
business depression. At the very
heart of the city an artesIan we'll has
been bored nearly two thousand feet
and now comes the reward in q splen-
did flow, for which pipes are being
laid through the streets, in addition to
those of the regular reservoir system.
The city will soon have much more,
and a Thousand times better
business. The merchants claim a
better trade. Mechanics are doing
well. There is more building going
on than last year by far. The Y. M
G.. A. building is going up. The million
dollar capitol is up to the fourth
story"
II Prohibition would secure for this
place an Artesian we'll and pure water
would not that of itself be a sufficient
incentive for us all to cast our vote
that way?
