brethren began to ransack their pockets
for undelivered speeches. and woman
affrig hteBed, made bow and retired
possibly for the session. She came to
make last appeal for admissions, but did
not remain long. She was escorted by
DR.. Wielder, of Illinois, who wanted a
resolution passed that would submit her
eligibility to popular vote; this would
have been the equivalent of virtually
voting for her admission as Il layman i'll
1890. The Methodist Church on popular
vote 10 which the female members may
take part, is strongly in favor of women
as laymen. The other delegates saw this
at once The conference which the doctor
had proposed would be about two thirds
women. They constitute popular ma
jority in membership, and with the votes
of those already favorable to her, she
would have taken her seat in the next
General Conference The presentation OF
this resolution was opposed, and the
motion to suspend the rules was lost.
Woman and her eligibility were then
escorted out of the conference, by DIR.
Wielder and the reverend brethren who
have not spoken yet, again packed up
their speeches. The question was re-
vIved without any warning or notification,
the attendance was therefore not so large
as it would have been had DIR. Wielder
given notice that he again would knock
at the female entrance to the Metropolitan
House. The ladies i'll attendance were
deeply interested, however, while the
discussion lasted, but the motion was
killed, and the regular order of business

1t looks like narrow Interpretation
of the church law governing Methodlsts
as denomination to exclude upon the
ground of sex, any accredited repre-
sentative of local conference, from
seat in the highest law making body OF
that church. At best it is merely
technical construction of the law by
which women have been excluded from
the General Conference, and which
decision, even the most pronounced
opponents of their admission concede
must soon be reversed by the force of
popular opinion.

This Is very significant fact, and the
Iroquois Club folks would do well not
to underrate it. Pertinent to the SUD-
iect are the not less significant inScrlp-
tons which the Tammany managers
have had submitted to them as emil
nently proper to be painted on the
banners which they are to carry to St.
Louis. Ore of these is: "Self-protec-
ton is the first law of nature enforce
the law against the pauper labor OF
Europe" ave are prohlbitionists-as
against outside competition, on unfair
terms, with American industry" "Give
US back our ships" One is almost
tempted to believe that some SLY Re-
publican or some high-tariff man in dis
guise is trying to impose these sentl-
ments upon the guileless people who
are managing this part of the St. Louis
bushes, on Tammany account.

The new High License and Local
Option law in New Jersey went
into effect on Sunday last through
out that State. In Hudson county
the liquor dealers have formed an
association and agreed to observe
the law to the letter until the courts
have decided as to its constitutionality.
All the prominent saloons IN Jersey
City were closed at midnight on Satur-
day and their patrons without distinction
were refused Abundance. Several down.
town saloons were placarded: "Closed
for the first time in ten years by order
of the Republican Legislature" and
"no more Sunday rum; take home a
supply" were among the notices that
greeted the eyes of those who tried the
saloon doors.

THE DANGER BEFORE US.

We have already alluded to the import
ance of housekeepers paying more atten
ton to the kind of baking powder used
in leavening their bread. This is a matter
to which we cannot draw attention too
often, because it is something which
involves the most serious consequences
to the general body of mankind. Tenn
perauce apostles tell uS-and there is
ample foundation for the statement-that
there is disease. both moral and physical
in the Intoxicating cup; and in the same
way there is disease, Slow perhaps, but
certain, in the lime and alum leavening
agents employed in many of the homes
on this continent.
No punishment is too severe for those
manufacturers who place these poisonous
alum and lime baking powders before the
public with the assurance that they are
pure and wholesome articles. In the be.
lief of the truth of such statements such
baking powders are largely Used in the
preparation of food, and in this way the
poisonous ingredients are taken into she
system without suspicion of their
presence. By and by come spells of
headache, distress in the stomach, loss of
appetite, i1utterlng of the heart; the
child is seized with an apparently cause.
less cough. The coating of the stomach
is destroyed, perhaps; one of the vital
organs is rendered almost useless; the
kidneys are attacked with Bright's dis
ease. The health of the child is irrepar-
ably broken down; the adult becomes a
chronic invalid. These are the doIugs of
the modern cheap baking powders that
are composed of lime and alum, or that
contain sulphuric or phosphate acids.
In view of these facts. surely all house
wives should exercise the care that is, we
know, now exercised by some in the
selection of proper brand of baking
powder. She who does not do so, whether
the gleut is the result of ignorance or
reck lessnesS, cannot free herself from the
responsibility for the health, perhaps life
thereby endangered No housewife need
be ignorant of the quality and compost
ton of the article which she uses to
leaven her bread, biscuits and cake. The
official reports of the government chem
lists, who ere certainly unprej JUDGED,
have been published and show very
clearly the quality and strength of all
the baking powders III the market. The
Royal Baking Powder, which is access
IDLE at every hand, is reported absolutely
free from lime, alum, phosphate acid, or
any injurious ingredient. l. is further
stated by the most eminent authorities
on food hygiene that food leaveued with
it is more wholesome than when raised
by any other method. Is use is there
fore to be commended. l. is to be re-
gretted that no other baking powder,
when there are SO many in the market,
some of which will find their way into
use, is free from all of these substances
The official analyses assure US. however,
that all except the Royal contain either
lime or alum. The housekeeper who
regards the health of her loved ones
should not only order the Royal, but
make personal examination To be sure
that no other brand is sent her in its
place.

The things that are new as well as
true in the current controversy about
Mr.. Blaine are first, that his son
Emmons says his fathers latest letter,
received only three or four days ago,
declares the father to be sin excellent

second, the statement of Mr.. B. +.
Jones, Chairman of the Republican
National Committee, that "it is not true
that he (Mr. Blaine) will be on the

Passing through John Wanamaker's
Grand Depot few days ago we heard
our name called by a familiar voice and
turning we found ourselves face to face
with young man native OF Elkton,
who for some years past has been en-
gagged with a leading Baltimore dry
goods house, but who had recently left
that city and taken position with Mr..
Wanamaker.
"Why how is this ?" we asked. "Your
ability and fidelity as a salesman should
have earned you fine salary long ago."
The reply was, eyes but | was no
further ahead at the end of ten years
than l was at the end of two. There
were no promotions to compete fol"
On the evening of the day on which
this accidental meeting occurred, John
Wanamaker called meeting of his en-
ployees to report to them the result of
the first years working of his profit
sharing" system. The report shows
that the total OF cash distributed
or set apart for the benefit of seven-year
employees (in addition to usual sala-
ries) between April II, 1887, and April
IS, 1888, was sIo9,439 6S of which
S59,I5S was in monthly dividends,
s4o,2S1 in annually dividends, and
$4,000 in a pension fund.
Need any one wonder why John
Wanamaker commands the services of
the best salesmen2 His broad general
ship in business sets an incentive before
every employe. His system of "proft
sharing" stimulates earnest competition
and his plan of promotions affords an
equal chance to all, to reap the reward
of industry and fidelity. Thomas Carlyle
says that only one man in million has
the ability to conduct successfully
great business. John Wanamaker is
that man.

All indications point to trouble among
the Democrats in the attempt to recon-
Gle the conflicting sentiments of differ
ent sections upon the question of pro-
lection to American industries. For
instance, the Iroquois Club, of Chicago,
out Herods Herod in its free trade ut
terances, while on the other hand Tam
many Hall of New York has been
equally outspoken in favor of protec-
ton, and its leaders are perplexed IN
having the leading Democratic club of
the West proclaiming radically differ
ent creed. The New York cores
pendent of the Philadelphia Ledger,
commenting upon this antsgonistic pos.
ition of two such influential Democratic
organizations very truthfully describes
the situation by saying that as both of
these clubs will be represented in the
National Convention, it is clear that
somebody will have to yield or there
will be trouble. The predominant feel.
ing among the Democratic masses in
this city now, as matter of fact, is so
decidedly in favor of the protective
principle that it may well be doubted
whether such free-trader as Mr.. |.
Sterling Morton would be listened to
here with the same manifestations of
approval that greeted him at the Iro-
quois Club dinner. If there is any
Democratic statesman that entertains
doubt on the subject, let him call a
Democratic mass meeting to back up
the Mills tariff scheme, for example.
That would be fair test. Why, apart
rom a mild declaration from the Free
Trade Club (Which revolves within its
own orbit here and has no direct con-
nection with politics., there has not
been even Democratic mass meeting
to respond to the Presidents message.

A prominent and active Democrat of
Cecil county is authority for the state
ment that the four votes of this county
in the Second District Congressional
Convention are for George w. Cruikshank
as a first choice, and for ]. Fred G. Tai
bolt as second choice. This, with Tai
bolts own county, would give him 10
votes, Carroll's 5 going for Shaw, and
Hartord's 8 for Stump. This practically,
TO all appearances, leaves the naming of
the candidate in the hands of the live
corpse from Baltimore county.

Anti-Saloon Republicans held last week

Of the Republic. 1t has become a perncious and
demoraliZing power in politics, municipal, State
and national, and is therein intrusive and aggres-
siye. Asa public enemy it ought to be abolished
Second-We have with great satisfaction wit
messed the rapid growth OF the anti-saloon senti-
ment In all parts of the country. as shown by
constitutional amend ments, legislative enact
ments and by the fact that in thirty four States
and Territories laws have been enacted requiring
the giving of scientific instruction in public

system. The public conscience is aroused ON this
subject. and will be satisfied with nothing less
than the suppression OF this monstrous evil The

Thtrd-Reeognizing the practical difficulties of
legislation and enforcement, We unite upon the
broad plane of hostility TO the saloon without
debating methods of procedure The people
have the right, and should have the opportunity,
Of deciding how and when the saloon should be

weapons that are most effective and available.
