The nature of the residuum bears directly
upon the question of health That in Royal
is declared 10y the Commission to be perfectly
harmless. In the case of the alum powders it
is considered hurtful, yet the amount found in
three of the cream of tartar powdcrs-the
Cleveland, DIR. Prices and Sterling-averaged
about the same as that in the Crystal, an alum
powder. In the phosphate powders the inert
matter is exceedingly large, being more than
third of their entire weight.
The Importance of the information conveyed
by these figures can be best understood by
simple comparison. Take for instance the two
first named powders-the Royal and Cleve-
lanG'S. The inert matter or residuum found in
Cleveland's is seen to be about 3 in more than
in the other, which is difference of 40 per
cent, the Royal Icing purer than Cleveland's
by corresponding figure. The inert matter
in IIorsford's is over five times. or more than
400 per cent. greater than in the Royal. The
relative purity of all the brands can he COM
puted in like manner.

| to be Presidential candidate:'
mo, Mr.. Blaine is in excellent health and re-
ports to the contrary are without foundation
| Ii he were candidate, OF course Maine would
| send solid delegation to the convention for
him. We consider his letter Of declination a
sincere expression Of his feelings in the matter,
and for that reason the delegates will not be
instructed for him. He is as popular and strong
| as ever in Maine and the people would be glad
| to see him nominated because they believe he
would he elected"
''Many of Mr.. B!aine's friends believe he will
be nominated, and that he will accept. DO YOU
think so:'

| that he does not wish to be candidate. What
he would do if the nomination were rendered
to him unanimously Is more than | can say
If he did accept it. of this l would feel very

of any special personal desire to be candidate.

SOMETHING ABOUT "FREE PAPER"
The man who takes paper because the oh
liging publisher sends it to him without wait
ing for the formality of a subscription, some
times finds the favor not wholly pleasant, as
some of the people around about Pttsfied can
testify. Four or five years ago the Pitt>ield
Advertiser gave free to its club subscribers a
journal called Health and Home. then publish
This simple arrangement, entered into inno-
Gently hy the publishers of the Advertiser, has

have continued to come to PittSticli po>totiice
at longer or shorter intervals nearly all the
years since. notwithstanding the untiring
efforts of both the parties to whom they We're
directed and OF the po>tmaSters TO have them
stopped. Often copies Of the Undes srable sheet
might be found alongside the roads leading out
of Pitt>tield, where they had been thrown by
people who found them among their mail. Not
long ago the people to whom the paper had

these, and the western agents pat the matter in

THOSE Brule Sioux are an obstinate lot.
They want dollar an acre for 100000
acres of land to which they have no
earthly title, save that Of prior possession.
If they were white men they would be al
lowed only 100 acres each and then they
would have to hurry to perfect their I'll
ties under the land laws Of the country.
A party Of their leading men will go to
Washington to prevail upon the authori-
ties to allow them what they cannot get
from the commissioners. They will have
a picnic at the national capital, and will
return home wiser but no richer men.

IT takes rapid reader just four hours
to read the tariff bill about to be intro

majority. It will be read by but few busl-

the purpose. Life is too short and time
too precious for the average American tc
spend four hours time in wading through
the provisions of the measure. But as it is
intended for campaign document rather
than for bill to be enacted into law

INSTRUCTIVE FIGURES.

A recent number of an eastern exchange
contains an instructive table of figures,
which we commend to the careful consld-
Grafton of our republican friends. In pre-
senting it, the paper says: "The republi-
can organs are continually contrasting
the wages paid in this country, which has
a high protective tariff, with the wages
paid in England, which has revenue tar
if, or, as the republicans call it, free
trade, as conclusive evidence that protec-
ton enhances the reward of the laborer
That such a deduction from the differ
ence IN wages is wholly unwarranted and
nothing but shallow assumption, is proven
by this comparison in wages IN England
and wages in Germany, which the latter
has a HIGH protective tariff:

The national republican platform de-
clares the republican party is unalterably
opposed to any reduction Of the tariff.
The hue and cry raised by the republican
masses against this iron-clad declaration
forced the republican leaders to repudi-
ate their own platform and to introduce
into the United States senate tariff bill
which makes an annual reduction of $780,
100000 in the present revenues. How is
this for consistency and good faith?

ROGER Q. MILLS, the introducer and
champion Of the tariff measure bearing
his name, has just been renominated Tor
the eighth time for congress by his Texas

NOTWITHSTANDING the iron-clad prom

the provisions of the tariff bill from the
scrutinizing gaze of the outside world,
it has leaked out that it contemplates a

Mills bill proposes to make. And yet the
republican organs call the latter free

So that il lifting be.

Tho homely old rail fence,
What would our dreams OF childhood be
Without its gigzag pathy
And there what flowers We use TO sec
Before the aftermath!
The fields are there like grass ablazc
Tho fire weed faunts from thence,
Rat almost gono from our our gaze
We find the old rail fence,
The rapid march Of progress hns
Erased tho landmarks old
II IL to-day . thing that was,
A story that IL untold.
The pruning knife OF Time has cut
With energy intense,
With childhoods othor relies, out
Tho honored old rail fence.
1t was the squirrels safe retreat;
Tho chipmunk's chattoring oft
Made ~ advance with hurryln2 feet
Where Le was porched aloft:
There Natures stored her wealth away,
Aud oft we carried thence
A thousand jewels in day,
Found by the old rail fence
Arbutus. mnllein, golden rod,
Felt its protecting care, =,
Aud though with hands full home We trod'
We had n world to spare.
Life gives, Lnow, so much to-day
The past TO recompen5e,
Bat with sweet memories laid away,
keep the old rail fence.
