The money market is now in that con-
dition which Is natural TO ii at this time OF
the year. The demand from all sources is
steady and banks are scrutinizing paper
pretty closely and arc not encouraging APP
plicaiions freely. Rates are firm at s per
cent. with no prospect Of any reduction
At the same time there is no talk of any UNI
due stringency, parties OF undoubtcd stand
ing experiencing no difficulty whatever in
filling their requirements. 1t is not the
amount but the kind OF paper that is
scrutnized

Marion Harlands Opinion Of Bak.
ing Powders

Our readers have doubtless noticed
the numerous discussions by the
scientists and hygienists as to the re-
lative value of the various baking
powders. A CAREFUL sitting of the
evidence leaves no doubt as TO the
superiority of the Royal Baking
Powderin purity, wholesomeness and
strength, from scientific standpoint.
An opinion, however, that will weigh
heavier than any other with our
practical house.keepers, is that given
by Marion Harland, the best known
and most popular of American
writers upon matters pertaining 10
the science of domestic economy, of
use-keeping, and home cooking.
In recent letter to the Philadelphia
Ladies Home Journal, this writer
says:
IL regard the Royal Baking Pow
der as the best manufactured in
the market, 80 far as have any ex-
perience in the use of such COM
pounds. Since the introduction of IL
into my kitchen, three years ago,
have used no other in making bis
cults, cakes, ETC., and have entirely
discarded for such purposes the home
made combination of one-third soda,
two-thirds cream of tartar.
Every box has been in perfect con.
dition when 1t came into my hands,
and the contents have given complete
satisfaction. II is an act Of simple
justice, and also a pleasure, to recon-
mend 1t unqualifledly to American
housewives MARION HARLAND.

The Kentucky Forest Association,

A short time since, an informal
meeting of the friends of Forestry,
was held at the Polytechnic Society
of Louisville, for the purpose of TAX
ing steps toward the organization of
Kentucky State Forestry Associa-
ton. 1t was decided that a meeting
for the journal organization should
be held on Friday evening, MAY 4th
at 730 p. NJ. in the hall of the Poly
technic society. AT this meeting, an
address will be delivered upon the
subject of Forestry, by the Hon. B, Il
Fernow, chief of Forestry Division,
Dept of Agriculture, and number
of gentlemen of this state will make
remarks upon the subject. The sub
ject of Forestry is one which is at
lracting more and more interest in
this country, from the fact, that
though the timber supplies seem at
present inexbaustible, yet at the pres
ent ate of destruction, the supply
will in very few years become COM
pletely exhausted. In our OWNS the
mountain regions of our eastern
counties is being so rapidly opened
up, the forests are being as rapidly
destroyed, and if protective measures
be not soon taken, this magnificent
timber region will be wholly deman-
tied of Its trees.
Further our railroads are constant
ly demanding large supply of Tim
Der for ties, which can be rapidly
grown in most sections of any state,
at a minimum of expense, and at no
inconsidcrable profit, lands being
used for this purpose which are not
available for other crops. These and
other reasons, which will be brought
out in the future have rendered the
organization of Forestry association
in our state great desidciation. Mr..
Fernow is well known as one of the
best Informed men in the country on
the subject of Forestry, and his adj
dress will be full of interest and pro-
dc to the people of the state. 1t is
hoped that there will be large at
tendance at his address. Any queries
Or communication on the subject |
nay be addressed TO the committee |
through Judge A. M. Brown, Eliza
or DIR. JAS. Lewis Howe,

Warblers. Another article tells of
" Prjevalski's Adventures In Central
ASIA" showing how Russia is laying
her plans for pushing her way 10
the borders of China and India, or
perhaps beyond them. Out great
uuiversity--llarvard is brought be-
fore us in its actual condition and
early history; and what lessons the
photograph teaches of the flight of
birds by showing series of instan-
taneous pictures, make very curious
reading. What with all this, and
stories by Mrs. j. G.. Austin, +. b.
Hallowell, Eta w. Pierce and others,
the magazine gives an endless amount
of interesting and attractive reading.

Primary Election.



The discussion, started by this pa
per, still continues relative to the best
method of selecting the nominee for
Congress in this District. The Local
has no desire whatever to be STUN
bling-block in this matter, and GER
tainly wishes to avoid domestic
quarrel. But, very important con-
bideration-the people of this county
prefer primary election to precienct
mass conventions. The Local has
sufficient assurance to speak author
itavely upon that subject. And for
and in behalf of the people of our
county, it claims their wishes have
some right TO be regarded. They have
grown weary of conventio wire-work
and tricksterism, and prefer to cast
their ballots in manner that is sure
ly susceptible of being fairly conduct
cd, however it may have been in the
past. That a primary is capable Of
being propely conducted all fairmind-
ed men must admit, and so admitting,
the fact that majority of the voters
of the county prefer to so express
their will, should certainly obtain for
them respectful hearing.
The main argument against prim-
airy is its costlness. Besides the pa
per necessary for poll books, what is
the cost? Are the officers of election
paid for their services? Aud, If a
convention should obtain and dele
gates he appointed, are the delegates
paid for theirlservice ? 1t seems to us
just now, that 1t cannot possibly be
altogether question of cost.
But it has been urged that if q
voter cannot be at the polls by 2 p m.
precisely, he is not likely TO ia get
primary held from 6 a. IN. to p. m.
This kind of reasoning is on a par
with saying that If man can not
possibly pay note the day tits due,
lie will never pay il at all. There is
vast difference in the opportunity
given man in voting at exactly :
O'Clock, aud the privileges of so vot-
ing at any time during the day.
This thing which we have hereto
fore seen done in this county, at pre-
cinct conventions, of the convention
bosses getting their men together for.
the final moment, and refusing to
wait two minutes for the others, near
by, 10 arrive, and refusing to count
them in on the second count, has
been carried a trifle too far. The
people have grown tired of it, and
prefer quieter method.
