SAN ANTONIO. Tex, July l, 1885.
I purchased in this city package Of Prof.
Horsfords Self Raising Broad Preparation
and submitted it to a chemical examination,
and find that the same is composed OF pure
and nOn-poisOnOus chemicals.
The idea OF Prof. Horsford was indeed
grand one in supplantng the indigestibe tar
tarate of soda, which is always the end result
of all Baking Powders composed of Cream of
Tartar and Soda, by the soluble phosphate of
lime and soda, the very nutritive value OF
bread, and the bone-producing elements of
nature.
1t is certainly the best and most healthy
bread-rasing preparation ever offered to the
public, and every mother that has the health
of her children at heart should use no other.
| can only Join in the endorsement given by
the late celebrated chemist, Prof Baron V.
Licbig, to this preparation in saying: 81 con-
slider this invention as one of the most useful
gifts which science has made to mankind"

IT Is thousand pities in the interest
of justice, and tranquslized border,
and peace to our frontier settlers, that
Geronimo and his band did not fall into
the hands of Mexican troops, particu-
larry if the Two Republics expresses in
any sense the views of that nation. Two
Republics says:
Cruel as the wholesale execution of
Geronimo and his band, including
squaws and papOOses, may appear, it is
Just what is required to frighten the
muTderOus instincts out of the rest of
the Indians, and it would do more, in
one short moment towards the civiliZa-
ton of the savage tribes than could be
accomplished by missionaries in many
years. Here is indeed case where
only the dogma of utter humiliation
and its relentless application will satisfy
those whose anxieties have been kept
alive Tor long time by Geronimo and
his Apaches.
While not endorsing the views above
expressed as to killing the squaws and
pspOoses OF Geronimo's band. there is
every reason to approve the sentiment
which calls for the determination OF
every hostile who has borne arms
against the frontier settlements While
Geronimo and part of his band are be-
ing pampered in San Antonio, a section of
them, yet uncaught, are killing grey
haired men and helpless women and
children wherever they can find an I'M
protected settlement. These Apache
are only safe when dead. There ia more
treachery, cruelty, blood-thirstiness,
cunning and real diplomacy in old Ger
onimo's hide than it is safe to preserve
alive.

WHEN the will OF the republicans of
Iiexar county, in the matter OF making
strict party nomination for offices, is de-
feated by such questionable methods as
defeated the vote on Cap Locke's
amendment yesterday, it is time to call
Il halt. 1t is safe TO say that the pro-
ceedings of yesterdays convention made
more friends and warm supporters for
the straight republican element of this
county than anything that has happened
IN wears it will, of course, be claimed
as a victory for the anti-republican nom
natiOnists, but it is such victory as
Kills. Lincoln, beaten by Douglas in the
race for the Illinois senatOrship, re-
marked that Douglas victory there had
cost him the presidency of the nation.
The victory of the fusionists yesterday
has cost their candidates the election in
November. This is not threat, but
prophecy, and prophecy is more true
than history. The republican party of
Bexar county has no candidates.

The republican convention which met
yesterday adjourned without transact
ing any business. The only test vote
taken during the session was on Cap.
LoCke's amendment to the majority re-
port of the committee on resolutions.
This amendment, which was vigorously
opposed by James Z. Newcomb, the
spokesman for the differentiation
crowd, was finally lost by vote of 4SS
against 54l. TO secure this 54l vote,
however, it was necessary TO count 10
ballots for precinct No. q, of which Mr..
NewComb was chairman, although said
precinct upon the basis of representa-
ton, was not entitled to 10 votes. The
convention hastily adjourned, without
perfecting the work ordered by this
vote, aud the republicans of Bexar
county are left free to follow their own
will as to the best methods of defeating
ring rule within and without the party.
Of their ability or inability to accom-
plsh this, next November alone will tell.

TMDEN's will, drawn with great care
by himself, the great legal adviser Of the
democracy, will not hold water and
stands a very fair chance Of being con-
tested. His nephews who have spent
large sums of money in maintaining Mr..
Tilden's business during the years since
1876 are not sufficiently reimbursed
from the estate to pay them for time and
money spent, and they are very sore
over the provisions OF the will, which
has thus left them in worse financial
condition than II they had let the whole
business severely alone. The action Of
the executor in evictlng Mr.. Tilden's
sister and nieces very unceremOniOusly
from Greystone is severely commented
upon. The executor defends his action
on the ground that there is no ready
money to maintain the house, and so the
matter grows more and more cOmph-

The idea is good one, for it has been the
custom Of Democrats to assert that they are
the only friends Of the Irish OF truth, it
is more than probable that the Republicans Of
this country have contributed more to the
support of the cause Of Ireland than the
Democrats ever did or ever will. They
dubbed together and forwarded $1,000 on
the occasion complained of by the Democrats.
1t is possible that the friends of ireland on the
other side of the Atlantic do not care half so
much whence comes the money to help them
as they do for the fact that money is being
subscribed and sent. They will not object
to money contributed by Republicans ex-
clusiyely.

There is no better Fourth of July reading in
all the annals of patriotic literature:
sFour-score and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth upon this continent a
new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicat-
ed to the proposition that all men are created
equal. Now we are engaged in great civil
war; testing whether that Nation, or any
nation so conceived and so dedicated, can
long endure We are met on a great battle
field Of that war. We have come to dedicate
a portion of that field as final resting place
for those who here gave their lives that thas
Nation might live It is altogether fitting
and proper that we should do this. But, in a
larger sense, We cannot dedicate, we
cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow
this ground. The brave men, living
and dead, who struggled here, have conse-
Grated it far above our power to add or de-
tract The world will little note, nor long
remember, what we say here; but it can never
forget what they did here 1t is for us the
living, rather to be dedicated here to the I'M
finished work which they who fought here
have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather
for us to be here dedicated To the great task
remaining before u.s. that from these honored
dead we take increased devotion to that cause
for which they gave the last full measure of
devotion; that we here highly resolve that
these dead shall not have died in vain; that

THE New York Evening Post, chief of the
mugwumps, devotes column editorial to
what Mr.. Villas, and the Democratic organs
are pleased to call the postal clerks "conspir-
acy.' The Post quotes Mr.. Vilas's circular Of
March 81, and then shows how fagrantly he
has violated its terms. The Post says: "Men

it did not protect them against arbitrary dis
missal. In other words, the Postmaster gen.
erals pledges have proved valueless, and be-
cause valueless. discredit instead of an honor
to him and to the administration The Post
further says
''The state of disorganization and inef6-
cheney they brought about in the railway serv-
ice has, of course done much to deprive the
public of the benefit of the greater efficiency
introduced into the large postoffices by the
new rules. No matter how we'll the work of
the New York postofice is done, for instance,
in making up and dispatching the mails, it
may be largely wasted or neutralized by the
inefficiency of the sorters in the mail cars on
the roads. We can testify as a matter ofsex-
perience that this is true. Irregularities and
delays in the transmission of the mails of the
Evening Post have increased during the past
year, and we have found almost invariably
that they were due to diminished efficiency in
the railway postal service"
And the article closes with the following
words:
"The postal clerks have organized trades
H.
Postmaster general redresses certain specified
grievances, the principal of which is the re-
peated violations of the promise which we
have quoted above. We are as much opposed
as any one can be to the formation of unions
with striking powers, among any body of men
engaged in public service No policeman,
or railway official, or telegrapher, ought, we
hold, to consider himself at liberty to join in
any movement against his employers which
involves the infiction of enormous loss and
inconvenience on. the public. Anybody who
tries or arranges to make his private quarrels
public calamity richly deserves the punish
ment Of public enemy or traitor. But we
are bound to say that if strike among public
servants could ever be justifable, it would be
among the railway postal clerks. They have
been badly treated and in treating them bad
~ Mr. Villas has shown Indifference to the
public interests which has sorely disappointed
his best friends. We can hardly expect, and
he can hardly expect, the Postal Clerks Union
or Brotherhood to consider the loss and in
convenience they will infiict on the public by
striking, when he has considered them so
little as to let politicians get into the mail
cars 1t is high time for this wretched scan
dial to cease, and we trust that if Mr.. Villas
does not feel equal TO cope with it, the Presi-
dent will take it in hand, and make an end
