An opInIon from NewfoundIand

ST. JOHNS. N. f., March 19.- An official Of
of the Newfoundland legislature has this to
say regarding the fisheries treaty: Il do not
at present apprehend there will be any Sc
rious opposition to its acceptance by the
Newfoundland legislature. Our interests are
thoroughly conserved. The delimitation will
secure to us the the three mile shore limit,
and every bay and harbor as our exclusive
property. Admission of our fish duty free
into American markets would be to us great
advantage, as 1t would secure an outlet for
part of our fishery products. In return for
this we would willingly conccede the right OF
entering our ports for bait, ice and general
supplies If Americans do not consider such
a concession desirable, we can, as before. IND
markets elsewhere. As to the modus rirendi,
or interim arrangement for two years. that l
believe will be willingly accepted as friend
ly and conciliatory measure, to give time for
the final ratification Of the treaty"

cannot bring about such an end, there are
two measures that suggest themselves, puni-
tion and persuasion. The means for the first
are promised in the resolution of Congress
authorizing the President to infiict retaliatory
measures. The second Is the much discussed
question of commercial union. Deprive Can
ada of all business relations with this coun-
try, or grant to her treaty on basis of un-
restricted interchange of products with the
enactment and enforcement of our tariff
laws.
s'Manifestly the fisheries are for sale," Mr..
Blaine concludes. SIS it for our interest to
purchase them at such a price? Probably
the immediate answer of the general public
would be a negative one. A great govern
ment Is bound to maintain its rights as ma
tion and to protect its citizens in their enjoy
ment of those rights, and unless these are
meekly abandoned this very question will be
a source of dispute until it shall be satisfac-
torily, amicably and definitely settled. " =

FOOD TESTS IN VIEW YORK
OFEctd! A"dtysis IF BIkIH9 P1riers-AduL
terGttomS G Cretm Of Tartar.

Under the direction of the New York
State Board of Health, eighty-four differ
ent kinds of baking powders, embracing all
the brands that could be found for sale in
the State, were submitted to examination
and analysis by Prof G. F. Chandler. r
member of the State Board and President
Of the New York City Board of Health,
assisted by Prof Edward G. Love, the we'll
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 rs ~ render III en-
seriously objectionable for use in the pre-
paration of human food.
Alum was found in twenty nine samples.
This drug is employed in baking powders
TO cheaper their cost The presence Of
lime is attributed o. the impure cream of
tartar of commerce used in their manufsc-
ture. Such cream of tartar was also anal
yZed and found To contain lime and other
impurities; in some samples TO the extent
Of % per cent. of their entire weight.
All the baking powders of the market,
with the single exception of Royal" mot
including the alum and phosphate powders
which have not the virtue OF even an
impure cream of tartar, are made from the
adulterated cream of tartar Of commerce,
and consequently contain lims TO a CORES
ponding extent.
The only baking powder yet found by
chemical analysis TO be entirely free from
lime and absolutely pure is the Royal"
This perfect purity results from the exclu-
sive use Of cream of tartar specially refined
and prepared by patent processes which
totally remove the tartarate oflime and other
impurities. The cost Of this chemically
pure cream of tartar is much greater than
any other, and 6n account Of this greater
cost is used in no baking powder bat the
Royal"
Prof Love who made the analysis Of
baking powders for the New York state
Board Of Health, as well as for the Govern
ment, says Of the purity and wholesome
ness Of the Royal:
Il find the Royal Baking Powder COM
posed Of pure and wholesome ingredients.
II is cream of tarter powder Of high
degree Of merit, and does not contain either
alum or phosphAtes or other injurious SUBJ
stance E. G. LOVE, Pm. d."
Il is highly satisfactory 10 the housekeep-
ers ot this vicinity, where the Royal Bak-
ing Powder Is in general use that the in
vestigations by the analysts in Massachu-
setts, New York, and Ohio, 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

VI course in q country rs great Us ours,
with such wonderful variety of interests,
often leading in entirely different directions,
Is difficult if not impossible TO settle upon
perfect tariff plan. But in accomplishing
he reform We have entered upon. the
necessity of which is 50 obvious, | believe
we should not be content with a reduction
OF revenue involving the prohibition Of
importations and the removal Of internal
tax upon whisky. II can be better and
more safely done within the lines of grant
ing actual relief to the people in their
means Of living, and at the same time
giving an impetus tn our domestic enter
prlses and furthering our national welianr.
IL Misrepresentation of our purposes and

present effort in this direction. there seems
70 be no reason why every endeavor in the
future 70 accomplish revenue reform should
not be likewise attacked and with like
result.

The platform adopted by the national
convention OF our party contains the follow
ing declarations
Judged by Democratic principles the
interests of the people are betrayed when
by unnecessary taxation trusts and combi-
nations are permitted and fostered which,
while unduly enriching the few that COM
bined, rob the body of our citizens by de-
priving them as purchasers of the benefits
of natural competition"
Such combinations have always been
condemned by the Democratic party The
declaration Of its national convention is
sincerely made, and no member of our
party will be found excusing the existence
or belittling the pernicious results Of these
devices to wrong the people. Under vari-
Gus names they have been punished by the
common law for hundreds of years and
they have lost none Of their hateful feat
ures because they have assumed the name
OF trusts instead of conspiracies.
We believe that these trusts are the natu.
raj offspring OF q market artificially restrict
ed; that an inordinately high tariff, besides
furnishidg the temptation for their existence,
enlarges the limit within which they may
operate against the people, and thus
increases the extent of their power for
wrong doing.
With an unslterable hatred of all such
schemes we count the checking of their
baleful operations among the good sesults
promised by revenue reform.
