The Republicans did good days
work at Easton on Thursday, having

represent the State at Chicago. Cecil
came in for share of the honors of the
day, it gratifying US, as it will the Re-
publicans of the county, to be repre-
sented by as acceptable man as Mr..
John R. Bond. The platform adopted
is an excellent declaration of Republic
can principles, expressing unequivocally
the position of Maryland Republicans
in favor of a protective tariff, and in
defence of American industries and
American laborers.

FOOD TESTS IN NEW YORK,
Oil cial Analysis of Baking Powders-Adui
terations in Cream of Tartar,

tiiciaI Analysis of Baking Powders-Adul-
| terations in Cream of Tartar.
[ uder the direction of the New York
| Board of Health, eighty-four different
kinds of baking powders, embracing all
the brands that could be found for sale in
| the State, were submitted to examination
and analysis by Prof. G. F. CHANDLER a
| member of the State Board and President
OF the New York City Board of Health,
assisted by Prof. EDWARD G. LOVE, the
well.known United States Government
chemist.
The official report shows that large
number of the powders examined were
found to contain alum or lime; many of
them to such an extent as to render them
seriously objectionable for use in the
preparation OF human food.
Alum was found in twenty nine sam
Piles. This drug is employed in baking
powders to cheaper their cost. The pres
ence OF lime is attributed to the impure
cream of tartar of commerce used in
their manufacture. Such cream of tar
tar was also analysed and found to
contain lime and other impurities: in
some samples to the extent of 90 per
cent. of their entire weight.
All the baking powders of the market,
with the single exception of Royal
(not including the alum and phosphate
powders, which have not the virtue of
even an impure cream of tartar), are
made from the adulterated cream of tar
tar of commerce. and consequently con-
tain lime to corresponding eXteut,
The only baking powder yet found by
chemical analysis to be entirely free from
lime and absolutely pure is the Royal"
This perfect purity results from the ex.
elusive use OF cream OF tartar specially
refined and prepared by patent processes
which totally remove the tartarate of
lime and other impurities. The cost of
this chemically pure cream of tarta: is
much greater than any other, and on
account of this greater cost is used in no
baking powder but the Royal"
Prot. Love, who made the ANALYSIS of
baking powders for the New York Safe
Board of Health, as well as for the Gov
ernment, says OF the purity and whole
someness of the "RoyaI':
81 find the Royal Baking Powder COM
posed of pure and wholesome ingredients.
II is a cream Of tartar powder of high
degree OF merit, and does not contain
either alum or phosphates or other iniu-
rious substance.
Z G. LOVE, PHI D."
1t is highly satisfactory to the house
keepers OF this vicinity. where the Royal
Baking Powder is i'll general use, that the
Investigations by the analysists in Mas
sachusetts, New York and Ohio, the only
States that have thus far taken action
upon this important subject, agree in
CHASING it as the purest and most efficient
baking powder in the market.

Republican members of the House upon
the proposition made by MIR. Mills last
week that the House shall vote upon the
Mills bill and a substitute to be offei ed
by the Republicans directly upon tue
close of the general debate this week,
and without the consideration of the
amendments. Up to this point no sort of
an agreement has been reached by the
Republicans, and there appears to be a
wide difference OF opinion upon the sub
ject. me members believe that the
Mills bill can be easily beaten in it's pres

part of the New Y ork contingent-hold
that they are in duty bound to use every
effort to kill the bill, and that this can be

Getting Rich.

It may seem rather late, to be
sure. to be urging the dignity of
labor. The point is that while
men and women are eagerly deter
mined to get rich, there are factl-
tious as to the manner and fashion
and name of the service that is to
accomplish 1t. The more wealth
the country has, the more anxious
people of all conditions are to put
on the dress and style of wealth.
The more the soil yields, the less
they want to have to do with the
soil. Leaving out of view the inn
nense acreage of tillable but un-
titled lands at the west, waiting
largely for foreign cultivators, Oh
serve the agricultural districts in
all the eastern and older states.
For fifty years there has been
going on steady process of de-
pletion Of enterprise and vigor.
There lines OF emigration run out
from them-to the small cities,
and railroad centers, to the great
cities, and also, but less to the
newer states and territories. These
emigrants of both sexes want two
things: They want money and
they want to get it without work.
ing much with their hands. There
is also fascination in local stir
and excitement. In their search
for chances some succeed, others
have not the faculties that win
success; some are weak in will,
some are weak in principle, others
are lazy. They are set free in a
strange place, from home re-
straints. The men and boys hang
| about inferior taverns and low
boarding houses and dubious
places of amusement, hoping that
something genteel and pleasant
will turn up for them. They
would like to handle other mems
money or business, and get a share
of it without any other manual ex-
ercise. The girls seek situations
in shops and "ofices." They are
glad to be rid of housework on the
farm. Their lives are dangerously
exposed at almost every turn.
When off duty they are in a
tempting liberty or else perilous
solitude. Dress is never out OF
mind. The social instinct never
dies. Christianity has made no
very thorough, attractive or ge-
NAL arrangements for them
