Further on, near the end OF the printed
report, appears the following:

Mr.. Baskin-I want to add this to what
have Just said, that l am not at all in SYM
pathy with what is said in those newspaper
articles that have been read here, and re-
gret very much their publication. These
publications are beyond my control.
The Chairman-I understand that, of
course. l would not have said anything
with regard to what was contained in the
article read by the gentleman had it not
contained an imputation upon my brother,
which l know to be false; and had re-
go forth in the record which is being made
here, my silence might in the future have
been construed as acquiescence.
Here is denial and perfect refuta-
ton OF the charge that Chairman fuckers
brother was in any manner connected
with the Mormon and anti-Mormon con-
test at Washington. The denial is made
by the representatives OF both parties
there, rs well as by the Chairman him
self. 1t is matter OF record
and yet in the blindness engendered
by partizan venom, the Republican organ
ignores the above incontrovertible prooi
and repeats the slanderous charges in
the face OF the testimony adduced before
tho committee. The question is, will
the people believe the statements ol
Chairman Tucker, Mr.. Baskin, Mr.. Glib
son, Mr.. Huntoon and Delegate Caine
or will they believe the unsupported
assertion of the Republican organ?

OUR BREAD NDANGER.
The Alarming Increase in Baking
Powder Authorizations.

Among recent important discoveries by the FOOD Analysis
ia that bv Prof. MOTT, .. S. Government Chemist OF large
amounts of lime and alum in the cheap baking powders !
is o startling fact that Of over one hundred dlnerenV anu
of baking powder so far analysed, comprising all tnose sou
in this vicinity, not one, with the single exception OF Noya
Baking Powder, was found free from both lime ana alup'
The use of alum is to produce a cheap baking powder IL
costs less than two cents a pound, whereas pure cream .
tartar costs forty. Its effect upon the system mas peen ascef
tanned to be poisonous, and overdoses have been attended WIN
fatal results. Lime is the most useless adulterant yet found
in baking powders. 1t is true that when subjected to heat
certain amount Of carboniC acid gas is given OH, puta qucA
lime is left, a caustio SO powerful that it is used by tanners to
eat the hair from hides of animals, and in dissecting rooms to
more quickly rot the flesh from the bones of dead subjects
The effect of lime upon the delicate membranes oil the
stomach, intestines and kidneys, more particularly oil m1an1S
and children, and especially when taken into the system day
after day, and with almost every meal, is perniclous In the
extreme, and is said by physicians to be one OF the cnleF
causes of indigestion, dyspepsia, and diseases OF the Kidneys
Chemists have found 10 per cent, or one'eightho of the weight,
of some Of the baking powders prominentlyso sold in this viclnl'
ty, to be lime, The w~ickedness of this adulteration is apparent'
The absolute purity and wholesomeness of the Royal
Baking Powder-now affirmed by every chemist and food
analyst of prominence, and conceded by all manufacturers of
other brands-arises from the exclusive useof cream Of tartar
specially refined by patent processes, which remove totally
the lime and all other impurities. These facilities are pos
sessed by no other manufacturer. The Chemist Of the De
partment of Health of Brooklyn, N. Y, in which city the
works of the Royal Baking Powder Company are situated,
after recent numerous experiments, reports;
II subjected several samples Of the Royal Baking Powder,
purchased from dealers in Brooklyn, to chemical analysis,
and l take pleasure in stating that this powder has attained
a most remarkable purity. lam unable to detect the slightest
trace of lime tartrate in it, while all its constituents are pure
and of the highest quality. The Royal isl baking powder
undoubtedly of the greatest leavening power, and perfectly
wholesome. Dir. o GROTHE,

KANAwHA COAL.
a Goal Valley Operator on the OutlOOk-A
Strike Coming,

HANAN 908AA
The following talk with q well known
West Virginia mine owner is from the
Pittsburgh Disp0tch Of yesterday;
~ expect to see every miner in the Ka-
nawha valley 60 out on q strike for y
cents on the lst Of May" said J.H. Jar.
rett, OF Coal Valley, W. Va, to q reporter
who met him at the Union depot last
night,
1.-THE strike will be III advised, he CON
tinued, "but 1t is coming just the same, l
say i'll advised because the operators can
not stand any additional burden at pres
emit. The coal interests Of the Kalswha
valley are undergoing the worst depress'
ion in their history, There have been
three failures this year already among the
operators, and while l don't look for any
further disasters as serious % that, there
are few II any OF them which are making
their expenses, There are 10000 miners
in the valley, and about 5000 Of them are
working, These are getting only u cents,
and | knowo o miners walking five and ak
miles To and from their work every day
rather than pay their fare Of % cents,
"Timss are hard among the Valley
miners, and they will be harder, | am
afraid, from the present outlook. Your
Monongahela operators are killing the
trade for us-Iqusezlng us out OF the mar
ket. They claim to be selling for 81 cents
at Cincinnati, when in truth they are sell
ing much lower. The fact is they have
mined twice as much coal rs they can
market, Hall OF this they have put on
the market at cost oiproduCtionto squeeze
out kanaWhR operators, and then they
can dispose Of the remainder at Q profit,
"The trouble Ia the KanawhA Ia brought
about by the natural gas in Pittsburgh,
which forces all the coal to the lower mar
kets, and to this talk Of free navigation on
the MonongRhela. Should tue latter be
once effected, the entire coal industry Of
the KanawhG district would be killed,
Notwithstanding our free navigation.
There is one good feature about the situa.
ton, however, aud that is the increase OF
coke manufacture up in the New river
district,
"There are now 900 ovens on the Nav
river and 200 on the KanAwha, In opera
ton. This number will be doubled by
the frat OF August next, and all In active
operation. TRs coke produced from the
soft coal section OF the New and KRnRwha
rivers is Of a very good quality, and seems
to command q very ready sale, and 1t may
save the trade from total anninilation."
as there considerable feeling over free
Monongahela navigation
"rhere is considerable fear lest 1t be
made free, and the general idea Is that 1t
will. II Il is, 1t will be q blow from which
the Valley cannot recover"
