In the Death Shadow.

For several days Gen. Philip Sher-
idan has been lying at deaths door.
Heart disease and attendant troubles
have so Frustrated him that his end
has been expected at any moment.
His dangerous illness casts a gloom
over the country and his death will
be mourned as a national calamity.
Sheridan is the personification of pat
riotism, military skill, courage and
energy. No soldier had a more bril-
liant record. In his early career,
while colonel or brigadier under the
the commanders of the west, he fought
with such dash, persistence and sue
cess that he soon won renown, second
to none in certain lines. Called east
by Gen. Grant, he fought campaign
in the Shenandoah Valley that would
of itself make his history imperisha-
BILE. His turning a destructive de-
feat at Cedar Greek into a magnif-
cent victory was a phenomenon in
military matters. His dashing, per-
sistent, terrible pursuit of Lees army
in it's retreat from Petersburg and
Richmond was remarkable, and end
ed the war at Appomattox. No man
in the whole war struck his antago-
mist so hard blows as Sheridan, and
with all of the force of the onset he
pursued a retreating fire as long as
man or horse could 60, or until the
enemy was destroyed or captured.
The Burlington Free Press truly
says: "No man living will be so deep
ly mourned by the soldiers of Yer
mont when he passes away, as Gen.
Sheridan. No less than nine of our
Vermont regiments-the six of the
old brigade, the eighth, the tenth and
the cavalry-fought under him, and
he was to them their beau ideal of a
commander. He trusted them with a
confidence born of experience of their
fighting quality. He said to them in
the hall of the House at Montpelier
in 1867: The Green Mountain bows

A Surrender To Great Britain.

Senator Frye of Maine in his great
speech ON the proposed fisheries
treaty with Canada and Great Rrit-
ain, prepared under the commission
took very strong grounds against
the treaty. He showed how great
privileges were to be denied the
United States fishermen and how
the Canadians would be benefited
by the new agreement, should it be
carried out. The speech was patri-
otto and American. In speaking of
Secretary Bayard who favored the
treaty, he said the secretary was
profoundly ignorant of the fishery
matter" but that he had an itching
for diplomacy which had resulted in
the proposed treaty before the SEN
ate for ratification. He traced the
history of the whole matter from
revolutionary time down, and showed
how in other periods of our history
such propositions as were included
in this treaty would have been scorn-
ed. Speaking of the attempt of the
administration to crowd the treaty
through the senate he said:
"a year ago, in the United States SEN
ate and house of representatives, we
were all for the rights of American citi-
zens: we were united to man. Nobody
dreamed OF raising a political issue in
this matter. Nobody talked as a party
man in relation to it. And where are
we to-day: The President of the United
States taking practically the Canadian
side of this controversy; the secretary
OF state practically taking the Canadian
side of this controversy; the great dem
ocratic party Of the whole nation arrayeC
on the side of Canada and against TIL
American fishermen. | say to you Mr.
President, that a most grevions wrOn:

Cannot be a Candidate in any
Event.

Mr.. Blaine has written another
letter refusing under any circumstan-
ces to be the republican nominee for
the presidency. The letter is frank,
manly and patriotic. He says that
under no circumstances would he per-
nit any of his friends to be mislead
by thinking that his former letter was
not sincere. There were thousands
all over the country that read his
first letter with regret who had hoped
that despite his refusal to become a
candidate, he would yield to the
wishes of thousands and thousands
everywhere, and consent to lead the
hosts to victory in November. His
letter puts that matter to rest, but,
fortunately, does not eliminate his
power or his influence for the good
of his party. Popular and worthy
as the nominee will be, whether it be
Sherman, Alison, Alger, Gresham or
Depew, there will be man behind,
probably on the stump, who will
sway the masses by his oratory and
his influence as they have never been
moved in this country. James G.
Blaine in the harness, untrammeled
by being a nominee, will be a mighty
and irresistible power. 1t has been
we'll said of him that he is the most
popular of living Americans.

1t is not at all strange that there
should have been a good deal of
strife over the vacant bishoprics in
the Methodist church when the DOW

are taken into account. OF the five

Drs. Vincent and Newman are the
only ones who can be said to have a
nationol reputation. The other three
are, of course, gentlemen of ability
and unimpeachable character. DIR.
Vincent is the founder of the Chan
tauqua summer school, and has for
many years been the secretary of the
Sunday school society of the church.
He is known all over the world as au-
thority on Sunday school matters.
DR.. FITZGERALD was educated as a
lawyer at Princeton, n. j., but aban-
doned the bar for the pulpit. He has
been pastor and presiding elder in the
Newark conference for the past twen-
ty years, and is considered high au-
thority upon all legal matters per-
tanning to the church. DR.. joyce
has never held any office in the
church other than that of presiding
elder. His success in the pastorate
began with his appointment to a
charge at Greencastle, Ind. Since
1880 he has been a pastor in Cincin-
natl and is now in his second term as |
pastor of St. Paul's Methodist church
in that city. Although DR.. New
man s opponents argued that he was
more of Congregationalist than
Methodist he had twenty-eigh votes
to spare on the ballot by which he
was elected. A fast friend as well as
the pastor of President Grant, he was
made chaplain of the senate through
Grants influence, and is at present
serving his third term in the Metro
politan church in Washington. Bish-

if it was necessary to have very
able man for chaplain. Another flip
pant memb Der, Mr. Allen of Michigan,
answered that it always required a
high order of ability to deal with an
immature mind, and therefore the
chaplain of the House should be a
man of considerable ability. Then
Mr.. Holman, the old watch dog of
the treasury, said, 1910 a day was
too much for the House to pay for
prayer, and the majority agreed with

The Tablet, a leading Roman
Catholic newspaper, remarks that all
doubts and evasions have now been
brushed aside as to the lines on
which the great Presidential election
of next fall will be fought out, and
the issue is simply protection VS.. free
trade. The Tablet adds:
''As for Irish-Americans, it is
simply adding insult to injury to
call upon them to rally to England's
support. We are aware, of course
and the fact is as humiliating as it is
amazing-that among England's most
useful allies in this country in the
past have been many of the very
people whom the tyranny of that
same England had driven from their
native land and forced into exile.
But this has been all changed, as
the machine bosses will find out by
and by to their cost"

Since the date above given, the
administration has been getting more
and more regardless of its pledges,
of Mugwump remonstrances and of
common decency. Month after month
Mr.. Cleveland's importunate eager
ness to control Democratic politics
and political conventions has de-
veloped IN him greater and coarser
contempt for reform, and the fed
eral patronage has been made more
and more controlling element. The
tremendous machinery at the con-
troll of the appointer of 100000 Off
Gals has been used so effectually
that the court journal, the Washing
ton Post has been moved to glorify
the Imperialism of the ex-sheriff of
Erie county in glowing terms and to
compare Mr.. Cleveland's predes-
tined capture of a denomination with
Napoleon's browning of himself, with
a Pope as passive spectator. That
truth-telling Democratic newspaper
condences the history of Mr.. Cleve-
lands abuse of the official machinery,
when it says:
When the national Democratic party
assemblies in quadrennial convention at
st. Louis, on the 9Th preximo, the del
egates will not be all surprised to learn
that Mr.. Cleveland has nominated him
self. They have known for months that
the nomination was being made, and
of the machine in all the states. They
will go through the form of ratifying the
selection of Mr.. Cleveland by the Pres
ident and will feel sure that luck and a
good cause will bring him in ahead of
all competitors in November next.
Having gravely performed this solemn
duty, the delegates will next proceed to
admire and ratify the really grand plat
form that Mr.. Cleveland has furnished
a platform worthy of a great party and
inviting a grand campaign.
Thus far has "Reform" advanced
under the leadership of the Napo-
leon of the democracy, the "man of
destiny" who was to belle all his
previous career and transcend all
the limitations of his peculiar intel
lect and character, because of his
transfer from Albany to Washington.
Thus ends the monstrous alliance
between the professional reformers
and the chaotic Democracy that well
coined Cleveland, not because they
thought he was a reformer, but be-
cause they believed that he was a
"Boss," without sentiment or scru-
pie, who would surely throw the re-
formers overheard as soon as he be-
gan to work for a second term

Food Tests in New York.

OFFICIAL ANALYSIS OF BAKING POWDERS
ADULTERATION IN CREAM OF TARTAR.
Under the direction of the New York
State Board OF Health, eighty-four diff
ferent kinds of baking powders, embrac-
ing all the brands that could be found
for sale in the State, were submitted to
examination and analysis by Prof. G. +.
Chandler, a member of the State Board
and President of the New York City
Board of Health, assisted by Prof. Ed
ward G. Love, the well-known United
States Government chemist.
The official report shows that large
number of the powders examined were
found to contain alum or lime; many of
them to such an extent as TO render them
seriously Objectionable for use in the
preparation of human food.
Alum was found in twenty-nine sam
plies. This drug is employed in baking
powders to cheaper their cost. The
presence of lime is attributed to the i'm
pure cream of tartar of commerce used
in their manufacture. Such cream of
tartar was also Analysed and found to
contain lime and other impurities; in
some samples to the extent of 80 per
cent. of their entire weight.
All the baking powders of the market,
with the single exception of "Royal'
(not including the alum and phosphate
powder, which have not the virtue of
even an impure cream of tartar), are
made from the adultered cream of tartar
of commerce, and consequently contain
lime to a corresponding extent,
The only baking powder yet found by
chemical analysis to be entirely free from
lime and absolutely pnre is the "Roal."
This perfect purity results from the ex-
elusive use of cream tartar specially re-
fined and prepared by patent processes
which totally remove the itartrate of lime
and other impurities. The cost of this
chemically pure cream Of tartar is much
greater than any other, and on account
of this greater cost is used in no baking
powder but the "ROyal."
Prof. Love who made the analysis of
baking powders for the New York State
Board of Health, as well as for the Gov
eminent, says of the purity and whole
someness of the Royal"
81 find the Royal Baking Powder COM
posed of pure and wholesome ingredients.
1t is cream of tartar powder of high
degree of merit, and does not contain
either alum or phosphates, or other sub
stance. f. G. LOVE, PHI. ID"
1t is highly satisfactory to the house
keepers of this vicinity where the Royal
Baking Powder is in genaral use, that
the investigations by the analysis in
the only states that have thus far taken
action upon this important subject, agree
in CHASING it as the purest and most
efficient baking powder in the market.

The Reckless Autocrat in the

In view of the recent revelations
of the shameless violations of the
Civil Service laws in the Custom
House-the most audacious of them
by orders from the treasury depart
ment that were undoubtedly inspired
from the White House-it is we'll to
republish the following official record
of the removals made by this hypo-
critical administration, up to June

lows.

say that these steps which have been
taken can never be retraced; that in the
long future, we shall never be permitted
to stand where we stood only one year
ago, when we claimed, here in the SEN
ate, that we would defend the rights of
American fishermen against Great Brit
ain or any other power on EARTH. We

Welded it. We have said Through the

being required) will favor the treaty.

The Vermont troops returned to the
full his confidence, and they will
mourn him as a true comrade and
friend, as we'll as gallant leader.
He was true patriot and true
man as well as true soldier. The
people knew him as such and trusted
him. They felt safe with him at
the head of the army; and not few
hoped yet to see him commander-in-
chief of the army and navy of the
United States, believing that his hon
esty, executive ability, slngleness of
purpose and high principle would
make him as successful as chief mag
of the republic as he had been
as soldier. 1t is not probable, how
ever, that he ever would have accept
ed even the highest civil office. He
had no political ambition or taste.
He was content with his responsible
position as general in chief. His rep
utation is military one. He was a
soldier from first to last, and his
name will pass into history as one of
three brightest which head the shin
ng roll of the defenders of the
Union.

In the republican national con-
vention of 1876 the total vote cast
on first ballot being 756, and $40
votes necessary to a choice, Mr..
Hayes received 81, and was nomi-
mated on the seventh ballot, receiv-
ing 384 votes. On the first ballot
Mr.. Blaine had POI votes, and on
the seventh 351, lacking only twenty
eight votes of the essential number.
In the convention of 1880, the total
ballot 1855, and 378 necessary to
choice, Mr.. Garfield received one
vote on the thirtyfirst ballot and
was nominated on the thirty-sixth,
he having received 1913 votes. Gen.
Grant had 304 votes on the first
ballot and 500 on the thirty-sixth.
Mr.. Blaine had 284 on the first ballot
and forty-two on the last, many of
his followers, together with a large
number of those of Sherman, Wash
burne and Edmunds, having gone
over to Garfield and thus secured
his success. In the convention of
1884 the total number of votes cast
on the first ballot was S1S and 40
were necessary to choice. On the
first ballot Mr.. Blaine received 334H
an on the fourth ballot SAL, by which
he was nominated. Mr.. Arthur was
his only formidable competitor, start
ing out with 278 and ending with
207. In the next national republican
convention it is doubtful if any man
has over 200 votes on the first ballot.

Want of Sleep
