ed form One year ago an addition Of

demands Of both, we are forced to make a
second enlargement In our paper. To-

A Grand Idea,

Prof. Geo. II. Kalteyer, the well known
chemist of Texas, investigated the baking
powder question, and wrote II submitted
Prof. Horsford's preparation to a chemical
examination. and found it composed of pure
and non-poisonous materials. The idea of
Prof. Horsford was, indeed, a grand one in
supplanting the indigesibe tart rates, which
are the final result of all cream tartar baking
powders, by the soluble phosphates, the very
nutritive property of bread, and the bone
producing element of nature. 1t is certainly
the best and most healthful bread-raising
preparation ever offered to the public

Don't Yield an Inch.

Il IL beginning to be evident that the cour-
ageous position taken by the Republican
State Consention on the liquor question, and
which was not only maintained but suggested
BY Warner Miller, caused the total Prohibi-
ton vote Of this State to fall of anywhere
from 30 TO IS per cent. But for the transfer
Of the Republican saloon keepers to the Hill
column this increase would have carried the
State for Miller and made him Governor.
The Prohibit onists last year polled IL $50
votes for Huntington, their candidate for
Secretary of State. Fisk's vote this year
probably does not exceed 80 600. By per-
sistent and consistent maintenance of its anti
saloon attitude the Republican party can
gain the greater part of these 80, 900 Prohi-
bitionists, many of whom only wan: to be
assured that the Republicans are sincere in
their anti-saloon professions; for they must
see that the high license policy accomplishes
permanent results better than their own.
The hulk of the Republican saloon keepers
have gone over to the Democracy. Let
them stay. The party can do without them
il il will fight it out on the high license line,
even II IL takes all Of Hilrs next term to do
it. The Republican party of New York can
win by continuing TO deserve to win. on high
lieense.-N. !. Pfess.
The above from a Republican journal
published In the great city which has
more rum power than any other city in
the country, has the true ring. TO resist
the liquor saloons in the most effective
manner Is the true Republican policy.
Because some professed friends of Tenn
perance act like fools and help the enemy,
l. no reason why Republicans should lose
their heads.

Insurance tendencies in New Hampshire
can be- understood from the recently pub
li.hed report OF the Commissioner AZ
ter briefly reviewing the insurance bust
ness OF the State since 1869 he speaks par
tisularly of town nutuals. and remarks
that they should not be forgotten or neg

of patience, consideration and charity.
At the close of 1887, % of these compan-
les had at risk 1892, 227. The average
cost OF insurance was only Is cents on a
hundred dollars, or about per cent. on
the amount insured for term Of seven
years. This rate averages much less than
in other countries. The factory mutuals,

OF their business, are still carving nearly
so, 900, 900 of New Hampshire property
at a rate which, for the last five years, has

the close Of the annual report 1862, 0s6, 95s-

figures do not give the whole of the insur-
ance in the State, as great deal is writ

business from parties dealing directly

that the average rate of insurance il much

The Missouri Court of Appeals recently
decided "A ease of some interest to railroad
companies and to travellers. The plaintiff,
Leona Byron, travelled on u free pass on
the Missouri Pacific Railroad from Sedalia
to Kansas city. On the pass was the Gus
tpmary warning that the holder could
claim no compensation for injury. The
ear in which the plaintiff sat was thrown
oil the track and she suffered dangerous
wounds in consequence. On her recovery
she brought suit for damages, and the
company pleaded the contract on the pass
But the Court below decided that in case
of gross negligence, such a. the one in
question, the railroad company was re-
sponsiole for the injuries to passen gers
that might ensue and the Court of Appeals
has just confirmed the decision From
this it appears that, in Missouri at least,
the contract indorsed on free pass il not
of much account.
