In very worthy effort to break up
the existing system of peonage in South

extending their order into that state

protection. To meet this advance tow.

of South Carolina has passed law for.

labor within the state. The result Of
this legislation comes in active prepara-
tions on the part of the blacks to leave
South Carolina to it's fate
and go to Texas and Ar
kansas, where the colored citizen
is something better than slave. Soutt
Carolina has so regulated its labor affairt
as to absolutely control labor. The

legislature of the state" of south Dako-
ia with cowardi ,e, and says 1t dispersed

theissue which the constitutional con-

The Press and Dakotaian made no
such charge and is ready to defend the
legislature against all allegations of
that nature. That body adjourned be-
cause it lacked working number-ad-
lourned to meet again and meet the

elsewhere, only occasionally appearing in

himself under the best Italian masters for
four years, he made his debm in Italian
opera early in 1SS3, singing in the chief
cities Of northern Italy, where he won
immediate and marked distinction, often
appearing for 20 or 30 nights IN the same
role. His brilliant career was suddenly
blighted by hemorrhage of the lungs,

This plain question comes home to every

Indeed, analysts seem TO find no baking

these objectionable ingredients except
the ROYAL, and that they report as chemi-

powders advertised as pure, to contain,
under the tests of PrOts. Chandler, lIa-
birshaw and others, nearly twelve per
cent. of lime, while others are made from
alum with no cream of tartar. This, we
presume accounts for their lack of leaVen-

the cook, and for he bitter taste found in

costs thirty five or forty. The reasons for
the chemical purity of the Royal Baking
