Veteran Republican Club.

There was the usual Monday night meet
ing of the Veteran Republican Club last
night, and the enthusiasm manifested was
similar to that of twenty-eight years ago,
when the members, notIveterans,then,w worked
for Lincoln. The Mills bill was discussed,
and the speakers considered it menace to
the manufactures of the country. Re-
marks were made by President Perry, Hon.
George w. Woodman, A. f. Gerrish, Alder
man J. G. Tukesbury, c. K. Ladd, Thomas
Wlies and Q. II. Kilby, after which the
meeting adjourned. Next Monday evening
there VIII be held another meeting of this
club, that should be attended by every yeter-
an Republican of Portland.

The predictions of the Atkinson
House Furnishing Co., at this time
are that everybody will go visiting
this Fall. Your husbands will be
speaking on the tariff, and either
fayOring the election of Cleveland
and Thurman, or Harrison and
Morton. Or to come nearer home,
each one of your sons will be Wis.,
iting your neighbours sons, and
talking up the good qualities of
Mr.. Burleigh or Mr.. Putnam for
Governor. This Of course means
a great deal Of visiting. It also
means visiting delegations from
other Counties, and Statesmen of
renOwn from other States. Now
who is there among you that does
not require a new Chamber Set
for the spare room, a new Parlor
Suit for the parlOr, an odd easy
chair for the eminent Statesman,
new Carpet, new Oil Cloths, a new
Range to tempt their appetites af-
ter their long open air speeches.
Lace and Drapery Curtains make
a room look cool and habitable in
the hot weather, and a thousand
and one other articles of house
furnishing that 90 to make a
home look pleasant and its occu-
pants happy.
We have made special prices,
we mean by this lower prices than
ever for the months of July and
August, and as a further induce
ment we will again prepay the
freight ON all goods sold by us
during these two months to your
depot. This is the opportunity,
this is the time you need the
goods. We send photographs of
Chamber and Parl0r Furniture,
Easy Chairs, Lounges and every
conceivable kind Of house furn-
ishing. Photographs of Ranges,
and samples of all kinds and grades
Of Carpetings. Write us and we
shall be pleased to reply immedi-
lately, furnishing you with pho
tographs aud samples as above
stated.
We still continue to sell for
cash, or a quarter of the amount
down at the time of the purchase,
and the balance by the week or
mOnth.
We have been a long time cater
ing to your wants, and have al
ways endeaV0red to make every
thing satisfactory to you. We
want your trade, we want your
good will. Kindly let us hear from
you. No doubt the Country will
go on just the same no matter
who is elected to the office, but
our chief aim and your chief aim
should be the advancement and
prosperity of our own State of
Maine.
Thanking the public for their
generous patronage, and hoping
for a continuance Of the same, we
remain,
Your Obedient Servants,

HOW THIS FOR HIGH?

The old foolishness that a man is
separable politically from his ideas of
political economy still pervades the
bosom of the Express of this city. 1t
says:
"Twenty-five salt manufacturers, of
Warsaw, New York, who hitherto
voted the democratic ticket straight,
have transferred their allegiance to
Harrison. They have done wrong.
They should look at it as the Express
does. Cleveland is an honest man
and deserves a second term, par
ticularly as the Mills wing of the
party is, and will be, powerless to
carry out its free trade ideas"
What better answer to the above
than to quote the Express own
words, to the Del Rio convention on
the occasion of their charging it with
looming out for Harrison and Nor
ton" At that time the iron had en-
tered the soul of the pro-Cleveland
anti-Mills journal, and it exclaimed
in sorrow to the convention which
W lOD IL I'll lUS SuDScElD-
ers.
go to! Get thee to school house.
Learn wisdom, and honesty with it;
for it is both foolish and dishonest to
wrongfully and knowingly so accuse
anyone of doing what has not been
done, no matter what it may be. Go
to ~
Is it not equally foolish to swear by
the gods upon the altar and then lay
violent hands upon the altar to de-
molish it? When the free trade altar
upon which Cleveland offers sacrifice
is demolish ed and its stones leveled in
the dust, where will be the place of
sacrifice at which Cleveland shall
minister? If the Express demolishes
the altar while swearing fealty to its
nigh priest is it not as chargeable
with political dishonesty and wrong
doing as were the members of the Del
Rio convention? To bless Cleveland
and damn the free trade democracy,
of which Cleveland is the head, may
be political wisdom, but the average
mind cannot comprehend it.

Bogus Baking Powder Tests.


Rather ingenious but not less frau
ing powder being made in grocery
trying to further the sale of a Chicago
article. The so-called tests consist in
mixing separately, with water, SAM
pie of the baking powder found in the
house and of that carried by the agent.
From that found in the house, if
pure article, the bubbles of gas will
rise and burst on top like those from a
glass of champagne. The Chicago
baking powder which they carry,
when mixed with water, will show an
extra frOth upon the top of the mix
ture which is claimed as evidence of
superiority. On the contrary, how
ever, it is not only the exhibition of a
trick, but is absolute proof that the
baking powder which so acts is adul-
terated. The chemists have ascertain
ed that the adulterant used is a chem
zeal added for the express purpose of
producing this action and deceivIng
hOusekeepers as to the true value of
the baking powder. This lis not only
a dishonest trick, but dirty one, for
the chemical is the product of the
filthy refuse of all the slaughter house,
and if this baking powder is used in
the preparation of food passes into the
biscuit or cake without change. OF
course, any statements made in refer
ence to other baking powders, by par
ties caught in practising such tricks
as these for the purpose of deceiving
the public, will be entitled to no
credit.
1t is probably, wisest in the interest
of our families, and to prevent our
food from being contaminated by
tramps of this kind, to turn all per-
sons who wish or attempt to tamper
with it unceremOniOusly from the
door, and to use those articles only
which experience has proved satisfac-
tori, or the official tests have estab-
lished as pure and wholesome.

Uncle JededIah was very kind. In an

A REAL FAIRY STORY.

:" There's no use talking" said PhineF
Metz despondently. Uncle Jedediah
won't help US. Uncle Jedediah never was
known to help anybody"
q" But we might ask him. That won't
cost anything" said her sister Tilda,
who sat on the table swinging her pref
ty, shabby little feet to and fro in q
perplexed fashion.
Josephine and Matilda-those were
the real names Of these brown-faced,
sturdy little lassies who were irving to
battle with the hard, uncompromising
world.
Old Mr.. Metz was dead; the Metz
farm had passed into other hands
and all the different relatives had
made up their minds that Phiney
and Tilda were really no business OF
theirs.
There were only five dollars in the
slender purse, which belonged to their
Joint firm, and something, they felt,
must be done.
And so their thoughts reverted to an
ancient granduncle, one Jedediah Jack
son, who had gone to Harpersville, and
there Vegetated in a dim old jewelry
