Senator Vance has been annoyed
at the criticisms which democrats
in the House have made of the con-
duct of democratic Senators on the
Senate Tariff bill, and in an inter
view said: "To suppose the demo-
cratic members of the Finance Com
mittee capable of analyzing the
Senate bill and exposing its provis-
ions in four days is paying them a
very high compliment indeed, es
peclaiiy when we remember the fact
that the Ways and Means Commit
tee took >, iy about seven months
to frame l.. cir bill and pass it in the
House. II they will possess theil
souls in patience 1 think they will
find the democratic members Of the
Finance Committee of the Senate
adequate to their duty in the prem
ises.'

With Samuel ]. Ran iaIl at the fore
to marshal the defence, and with
such lieutenants as Jas. n. Burnes,
Carlisle, Lawler, s. S. Cox, Mills,
Biouat, Dockery and twenty others
who might be named, the repuoli-

The Direot NJ ann.

1 -
Which recently passed the House
of Representatives by large ma
jority, receives the following ex-
planation from the Philadelphia
Record:
"This direct tax was levied under
an act of Congress passed in 1861
for raising money to carry on the
civil war. The law imposed on the
several States yearly payments in
proportion to their population and
alter one payment the law was res
pealed. About $f5,0O0,000 was
paid in, and this sum, with Is per
cent. commission, it is proposed by
the bill to return to the States. The
total amount is about ST. 100000,
of which the National Treasury
surplus weuld be relieved in order
to create needless surplus in many
State Treasures.
By passing this bill the House
has recognized the policy of dis
tribnting the surplus in the Treasury
among the several States. Should
it become a law some of the legislas
tive jobbery that is attracted by
needless accumulatiens of public
money would be transferred from
the National Capitol to the lobbies
of the several State Legislatures, and
the States would also have their
surplus, to attract the cormorants
that batten on public plunder."

Now and Then.

Representative Browne of Indiana, TIE
other day in the house at Washington,
made the following remark: Il undertake
to say that the farmers in my section of
the country in Indiana can now borrow all
the money they want, all they need, at 6
per cent, and there never was q time in
the history OF this country when the great
Northwest, at least my section OF it, found
money so cheap, wlen the farm credits
were better, and when the farming industry
was more prosperous"
The HTold will undertake to say that
Mr.. Browne could not have made a greater
numbs OF misstatements in so short a
space. In 1866, for instance, the farmers
OF Mr.. Brownies section OF Indiana re-.
ceived 50 90 a bushel for their wheat, and
bought a suit Of clothes little cheaper
than the could buy to day. A farmer car.
rying fifty bushels of wheat to Kendall
vile, Fort Wayne or Muncie, received $125
in cash, and bought good suit Of ready
made pepper-and-salt wooden clothes for
$50. To-day the same farmer, grown gray
with toll, gets 70 cents for his wheat, or
$3.50 for the load and pays rather more
than $40 for the same suit of clothing. He
borrows money at or 10 per cent and a
commission Just as he did then, save that
he has little left to mortgage If he be &
borrowing man. But a glance at his
WestE err beaten person will reveal the
rigors OF the life he has led.

Ben Harrison sized Up.
Rrrfon Harqld-ind

The Harrison men are much in danger of
OVERRIDING the alleged boom Of their can
dictate Tor the presidency. Mr. Harrison
is g good citizen and man OF respectable
talents, but there is no more presidential
timber IN him than in several sons OF
other men who are or have been in public
lie his career as senator was not such
ss 10 mark aim &c one oil the strong men
Of he senate. These facts are patent 20
those familiar Wita Washington life. Toe
single point presented in his favor above
the crowd OF possible candidates above
referred TO is thrt he lives
in Indiana, which is perhaps
doubtful state. Bot 70 carry a state like
that requires certain popular qualities
which Mr.. Harrison does not afford evil
dencs Of possessing. He has just been de-
featsd for the senate in that state, and,
though his party did make gains in the
election, at this distance they appear to
have been more the result OF democratic
folly than of any popularity developed for
Mr.. Harrison. The bitterness evinced by
his friends toward Judge Gresham also
does not augur we'll for party union. Mr..
Harrison Is a clean man, ana would make
q strictly partisan president. That is
about the summing up OF his claims out
side ttose of locality.

Ammonia In Baking Powders.


Among the recent discoveries in science
and chemistry none is more important
than the uses to which common ammonia
can be properly put IS leavening sgent,
and which indicate that this familiar salt
is hereafter TO perform an active part in
the preparation of our daily food.
The carbonate OF ammonia is an exceed
ingly volatile substance. Place a small
portion of Ii upon q knife and hold over
fame, and ii will almost Immediately be
developed into gas and pass off into the
air. The gas thus formed is a simple com
position of nitrogen aud hydrogen. No
residue is left from the ammonia. This
gives 1t superiority IS leavening power
over soda and cream of tartar used alone,
and has its use as supplement to these
articles. A small quantity OF ammonia IN
the dough is effective in producing bread
that will be lighter, sweeter and more
wholesome than that risen by any other
leavening agent. When it is acted upon
by the heat Of baking, the leavening ga
that raises the dough is liberated. In this
act it uses itself up, az 1t were; the am
monia is entirely diffused, leaving no trace
or residuum whatever. The light huffy,
faky appearance, 30 desirable in biscuits,
etc, and so sought after by professional
col s, Is said 10 be impaired to them only
by the use Of this agent.
The bakers and baking powder manu-
fscturers producing the finest goods have
been quick to avail themselves OF this use
full discovery, and the hendsomest and best
bread and cake are now largely risen by the
aid Of ammonia combined, of course, with
OTTER leavening material.
Ammonia is one Of the best known pro-
ducts Of the laboratory. II, IS seems to be
Justly claimed for it, the application OF its
properties TO the purposes OF cooking, re-
suits in giving as lighter and more whole
some bread, biscuit and cake, it will prove
q boon to dyspeptic humanity, and will
speedily force itself into general use in the
new field to which science has assigned 1t.
