The Action the Result of the .Senate's
Hardness on the Tariff.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-The effort to
secure a caucus of the democratic members
of the House has been temporarily aban-
doned. The movement was initiated in the

called. would not be able to arrange an
order of bus mess and settle upon day of
adjournment, the moving spirits have de
cided to postpone the circulation of a call

Awaiting an Answer.

The reading public is very anxious to
know why the Royal Baking Powder Com
pany does not come out in newspaper print
and boldly deny the accusation made against
it that its cooking compound contains that
harsh caustic alksli, ammonia" OF filthy
origin. Until it does this, and produces
proof to verify its statement TO the end in
view, the public cannot regard it otherwise
than as a charlatan full of deceit, treachery
and cowardice. seeking stealthily to secure
the peoples money through false represen-
tatiOns as to the alleged purity of its ex-
tensively advertised cooking preparation.
when the noxiousness of ammonia" in
food is a scientific fact which cannot be
successfully contradicted. In Its contro-
versy with the Price Baking Powder Com
pany, it has, In the most cOwardly and era
ven manner, fought shy of and evaded the
| ammonia ISSUE" not having the honesty
or courage to to affirm or deny the presence
of ammonia" in its goods. In the estima-
ton of q justly discriminating public,
which desires the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth, the Royal Bak-
ing Powder Company stands convicted of
base deception and gross cOwardice in not
meeting the ammonia question" which
has been thrust squarely against 1t for a
long series of years. Let it now answer.
and answer it fully and fairly, or cease to
mislead the public.
