As the time approaches for this State
to elect delegates to the Republican Ma
ton convention there have been sug-
gested nearly a score or more from
Several localities, and these rs a whole
mention gentlemen from all sections of
the State. Any one of these lists would
give an able selection. 1t appears
however to be more and more settled in
the public mind that Vermont should be
represented by the most eminent Re
publicans within her borders. In so do
ing it is probable that the delegation
will include some of our eX-Governors
who have heretofore been called to per-
form this duty and whom, together with
the new men who may be associated
with them will give Vermont. as COM
manding an influence as she has ever
possessed in National councils of the
party. In this connection we may add
that we understand that the names of
eX-Governors Proctor Smith and Far
mum, and of the Hon. Frederick Billings
and Gen. Mccullough will be presented
to the convention.

Mr.. TIC. Crawford went from London
to Florence to find out whether or not
Mr.. Blaine was sincere, He found out
that he was. Il hold that | have no
right to be a candidate again" said Mr.
Blaine, "A man who has once been the
candidate of his party and defeated owes
it to his party to withdraw and not be a
candidate a second time" Again he
said II could not go through another
contest, even with the certainty of the
presidency at the end of it, The strug-
gle is too great and there is nothing in
life worth such contest" He said
moreover that he would not accept the
nomination and do any less than he did
in the previous campaign" Further
more, he declined to express the slight
est preference for any candidate, and
said that "his hearty support and sym
patty would go with whOmsoeyer might
be nominated" Mr. Crawford says he
expressed the greatest confidence that
the party will win this year, which he
did not have in 1884, and remembered
telling hr. Crawford so before that cam
paign began. He is now absolutely ont
of politics and devoting himself to liter
allure and the pleasures OF his family.
These are the salient points of an inter
view cahled to the New York World and
published Sunday. All the Republican
papers accept the declarations of Mr.
Blaine as conclusive.

Referring to the Free Trade issue in
the United States called out by the
Presidents message The Church Times
of London, England, says that the ques-
tion "at stake is certainly very serious
one" The editorial is an argument for
high protective tariff and the distn-.
guished editor bases his opinion on actual
results in England. He says: ION the
one hand, it seems to be growing clear
that under free trade English agricul
ture can never recover any approach to
prosperity or become fairly remunera
tive industry" This weighty conClu
sion is commended to the thoughtful
consideration of American farmers, who
are Just now overwhelmed with argu-
ments showing to us the disturbances
of English free trade. The editorial
continues: On the other hand, the men
who constitute the working majority of
the government will not hear for one
moment of any backslIding from the
doctrine of pure free trade" or course
not. They there, as well as free trade ad
vocates hero, are the privileged classes
men with fixed incomes; doctrinaires
on comfortable salaries in our colleges
people with monarchal and un-Ameri
can tendencies. Then is advocated
sliding scale of protection for several
farm products, notably corn and wheat
and the predictions: Failing, some
such measure as we have limited at, what
scenes likely to happen in England Is
the abolition Of the farmer [italics ours
and the cultivation of vast tracts of land
by the owners, with the largest possible
use of machinery and the smallest pos
sble number of hands" The Church
Times is the most influential paper pub
lished in the interest of the Church of
England, and may be said to voice the
parishes. What do our free traders of
fer Americans that can possibly prove
better investment than the English eX.
perience thus frankly expressed? "Abo-
lition of the farmer is not a very at
tractive feature of free trade, and yet
our distinguished English authority says
such is the outcome of free trade or is
likely to be in England, the home of
this political heresy.

ty for "A National Pure Food Law.
The Massachusetts, State Board of
Health, like the State Food Commission
of Ohio, publishes the names of the
alum powders found on sale within its
jurisdiction as the most effective way to
prohibit the sale of what 1t classes as a
detrimental article of foot.
The report names twenty-seven brands
of alum baking powders detected, many
of which will be recognized by house
keepers who have been using them I'M
der the representation that they were
pure and wholesome cream of tartar
baking powders.
Being cheaply made these goods are
sold to the retail dealer at a price that
affords him a large profit, and the retail
dealer probably unaware of their nature
is induced to push their sale in place of
pure powders upon which the profits
are smaller. In this way they are being
placed in considerable quantities into
the hands of consumers who have not
suspicion of their real character.
Alum DaklnB powders nave Oten Ie
gally declared adulterated articles OF
food in the State of New York, and sew.
eral parties have been convicted of VIC
latlng the Food adulteration laws in sell
in them.
The prevalent method Of dsposing OF
these goods where it is not prohibited by
law, is by accompanying each ackage
with a gift or lottery ticket. In several
States acts have been passed making
this msdemeanor. In such localities
manufacturers of alum baking powders
who regard the law have been compelled
to reduce the price from 30 or 40 to 90
cents per pound, at which rate they are
now generally sold without a gift. AS
an illustration of the low value of the
alum baking powders, the fact is stated
that one of them no worse than the 9TH
ers, is sold at cents pound. The eX
tent to which the poorer classes, who are
their chief users, are imposed upon
when they are charged from 90 to 40
cents for a similar article is quite appar-
emit,
The following are the names of the
alum baking powders as given by the
reports of the Massachusetts, State
r. ard Of Health.

The Local Option High License bill
has passed the New Jersey Senate all
the Republican Senators voting IN
the affirmative and all the Democrats
against it. The bill will be sent to a
Democratic Governor, who will veto It
and then the Republican Legislature Will
pass it over his veto and it will become
a law. This is a fair sample of the way
in which temperance legislation is Sc
cured by Republican votes against a
solid Democratic opposition. Yet there
