DEMOCRACY is derived from the Greek.
and its meaning is the government of
the people by themselves. Appleton's
Cvclopadia SAYS: TO this day the
most perfect democrdeies in the world
are the towns Of New England. where
the whole adult male population assem-
bic together and decide by their votes
their own public affairs
We have before us the official Con
gressional Dictionary. compiled by "
H. Micha., Clerk OF Printing Records.
In it is given the number Of votes cast
in each Congress District in the United
States. We presume its integrity viii
not be questioned by any Democrat
These figures present a startling exhibit
of the way Democracy is practlced IN
that part of the country which gives the
so-called Democratic party power, and
the contrast win a like number Of dis
tricts in tie North shows the immense
advantage gained by counting the col
ored people in Obtaining basis for rep
resentation. and then denying them the
ri,,l+ of cu fro tca.

THE stanza, Tear down the Haunting
lie" Sc..was banked on largely by alleg-
ed Democrats during war times, until
Horace Greeley, satisfied the world that
the lines were written by some one who
never professed to be aRepubliacn, at a
time when the principal business of
United States Marshals and their depu-
ties was the running down Of fugitive
slaves. The lines were simply an in
dignant protest against such eOf Uni
ted States authority.
It remains for NJ. D. II. Milligan, one
of the leaders of the so-called Democrat
ic party of this county, to dig these
lines from their grave, and 70 undertake
to build upon them an indictment against
the Republican party. Mr.. Milligans
party was for four years engaged in an
armed attempt to wipe the flag from the
face of earth and sea, and, as we under
stand it, he justiiies that revolt.
The phrase, "Wayward sisters, depart
in peace" we believe, was written by
Horace Greeley, afterward the Demo-
cratic candidate for President.
Your modern Democrat is a very CON
sistent individual.

1t will be seen, that, with the excep-
ton of the Fifth District, not district
named in Ohio but cast more votes than
were cast for Congress in the entire
State of Georgia.
At the last census Georgia had a pop
ulation of 8l69O6 whites, and 72j,
colored-total 1.542.039. Allowing one
adult male 30 every five, its voting pop
ulation would be 30S, ,408, exactly pro-
yiding for ten Congress Districts. Less
than one-tenth of its voters participated
in the election of Congressman at the
last election.
Il is not only the colored people who
have been terrorized in Georgia and other
ex-slave States, but white men, as well.
The governing class down there is as
arrogant as in the days Of slavery, and
Will not permit any class Of men to en-
danger its control. 1t is desPotism as
arrogant and terrible as that of Turkey.
Grover Cleveland is President by reason
of its bloody crimes and defiance of law,
and the House of Representatives is
held by its alIy-the so-called Democrat
party-in the same way.
No patriotic man can afford to en-
dorse such iniquity. This government
of ours has no other foundation than
the ballot. Destroy the integrity of
that-teach the people that, for mere
party success at an election, any jug
Cling and crime is allowable, and may
be winked at, that Will afford their party
victory-and the end of the govern
ment is as inevitable as death, and can
not long be delayed.
This is the burning question before the
people Of the United States to-day.

The large amount of inert matter or re-
siduum in both the phosphate and alum
powders will be noted This in the phos-
phate powders is largely of lime; in the
alum powders is chiefly alum. 1t will be
gratifying to the public to observe that
the powder in most general use, the Royal,
is also the purest. In comparing the first
two powders on the list, for instance the
Royal and DR.. Prices the inert matter
of Prices is seen to be about five i'll seven
more than in the former, difference of
II 81 per cent, the Royal being purer
than Prices by a corresponding figure.
The carbOnic OF leavening gas produced
by the powders indicates their strength;
and their true value may be aScertaned
by considering the amount of this gas in
connection with their inert matter OF re-
siduum as shown above. The higher the
percentage of gas and the lower the per-
centage Of residuum the better the bak
ing powder These percentages, as found
in some of the most familiar powders,
are given as follows:

BAKING POWDERS.
REPORT OF THE OHIO STATE FOOD
COMMISSION.


AHalyses Of the Chief Brands Sold in the State
Their Strength and Value officially ASceTtdiHed.
The Ohio State Dairy and Food Com
missioner, Gen. 5. H. Hurst, has made
public (Circular No. - the results of the
Commission investigation of baking
powder. This Commission was formed
by the legislature, with instructions to
make an examination of the food supply
of the State, and to give report of such
examination to the public. The examin-
alton OF the baking powders was made
by Prof. ii. n. Weber, State Chemist, and,
relating as it does to an article of daily
use i'll the food Of almost every one, is of
particular interest.
The rather startling fact is brought out
by the report, that OF the thirty different
brands of baking powder analyZed, COM
posing about all those sold in the State,
twenty of them are made from alum. a
substance declared by the highest medical
authorities to be injurious to health when
used as food.
The Commissioner classifies the baking
powders into three general divisions, ac-
cording to their value:
1St. Cream of Tartar Baking Powders;
I'd. Phosphate Baking Powders;
Sd. Alum Baking Powders.
The Commissioner explains that the
best baking powder is that which, the in
gradients being healthful gives off the
largest amount of leavening gas and
leaves the smallest amount of residuum
i'll the bread. A small amount of carbon
ate of Ammonia, which is considered
healthful. is used in some of the cream of
tartar powders to give them a higher
strength. The Commission say that alum
is undoubtedly hurtful salt The report
ranks the powders and shows the amount
i'll each of inert reSuluants. which in using
it would appear as residuum in the bread,

THE GREAT DEMOCRATIC CRIME.

Cleveland Leader.
John F. Mclean must he elected to the United
States Senate at Whatever cost: the returns have
been fixed in Hamilton COUNT, but the party have
made no calculation on the POSSIBILITY Of Franklin
! going Republican.
The above is the substance of the
short but significant speech which Allen
! 0. Myers is said to have delivered on
the eventful sunday night following the
October election of 1885, as he rushed
almost breathless into the office of X. B.
Montgomery, who was then Prosecuting
Attorney of Franklin county, and a
| Democratic candidate for reelection, IS
now on trial for assisting in the forgery
of the returns of precinct \, Thirteenth
ward, Columbus. SO as to ncreaSS the
| Democratic vote cast at that election by
| 300 taIlies. Myers is also under indict-
ment for completely in the same crime.
Myers short speech has been repeated
times without number by Algernon
Granville, the telling of whose story
about the forgery in direct, cross, and
redirect examination, consumed the
greater part Of five days, and has just
been finished. The attorneys for the
State and the defense insisted, at regu-
lar intervals, on bringing the witness
back to that eventful night, and getting
him to repeat that significant speech.
The witness was willing to read it, and
he always used the same language.
There is no doubt that the words were
uttered by Myers. The Columbus forg-
ery was a great crime, and it was plan
ned in connection with the Cincinnati
forgery by leading Democratic politi-
clans to give the Democratic party a
majority in the General Assembly and
insure the election of John r. Mclean
to the United States Senate. The big
politicians were wise enough to delegate
the real work to willing tools. Two or
three men were sent up to Columbus
from Cincinnati on a special train, and
they easily obtained the assistance of
the MontgOmerys, one of whom hoped
to be benefited By the forgery. The in
famous crime was planned to advance
the political interests Of the editor of
the leading Democratic organ Of the
State and to increase the power of the
Democratic party in the Senate of the
United States. Through its leaders the
Democratic party of Ohio is responsible
for that forgery, and through its seven
representatives now on trial at Column
bus the entire Democracy of the State
is under indictment for the crime. That
is why the leading Democratic organs
are defending the seven inicted forgers,
and bitterly attacking the prosecution,
and that is why the Cincinnati Enquirer
heads its "doctored' report of the evil
denc. in the case in this way
The Perjury Mill-Grist turned out at Columbus.
Convict Granville proceeds with a fairy tale that
is too ridiculous 10 be considered even an artistic
lie. Statements which viii not stand the electric
light of truth The p0Or fellow says he was cOerccd,

TIE following paragraph from the

to exhibit in that city next June. Well,

IN his Boston speech Mr.. Sherman
said of the recent message Of the Presi-
dent that it recommended
THAT all taxes now existing on home
products be continued, and duties on
imports be largely reduced. The inevi-

at the expense and loss of
our home market, and especially to re-
duce the wages of all engaged in indus
tries competing with foreign production. "

IN speaking of Abraham Lincoln and
his birthday the New York Hail and
Erpress happily says:
1T is fortunate that so many Of the
Republican clubs that contain SO splen-
did representation of the Republican
leaders Of the future should have spon-
taneouSly come TO select Lincoln's birth
day this year for their celebration. The
intelligent, well-trainedno5ly ambitious
young Americans who have come to
manhood since Lincoln became the great
est and best of all freedoms MARTYRS,
can find in the career and teachings Of
no other American So much that will
tend to make him a better and trUer
American, and SO much more earnest,
true and steadfaSt Republican. Young
men whose aspirations are high and
whose natures are noble need the in
Spiration and guidance of well directed
hero-worship. What party leader ever
lived, before Lincoln, whose character
and example can be compared with
those OF Lincoln, as molding agencies in
the formation Of the characters of young
Americans?
"And when the educated and patriotic
high-minded American young men are
elevated and inspired by the study of
the greatest of Republicans and of
Americans, which Lincoln undoubt-
edly was, they will feel that the party
which Lincoln helped to found and
for whose principles he lived and
died, is the only party for them, the only
party whose past rises grandly above
that of any other great party and which
was 50 rich in great leaders that Lin
coin took into his Cabinet two men,
Seward and Chase, who loomed up iH
larger proportions before the country
than Lincoln did the day before he was
nominated"
