Ii is time that respectable merchants
combined with consumers for the suppress
sion of all gift, prize and lottery schemes
in connection with the sale of articles of
merchandise. These schemes are not only
denoralizing to legitimate business and to
the morals of the community, but in the
extent in which they are being carried in
the sale of articles of food have become a
source of great danger to the public health
They are, no matter in what form they ap-
pear, Dothing more nor less than devices
to swindle honest and unsuspecting people
Ii is gratifying to learn that in some in
stances the officers of the law have taken
hold of the matter. In New York, and
also in Chicago, parties who in this way Of
fered gifts TO purchasers of their packages
have recently been arrested upon indict-
ments for lottery swindling. The latest
candidates. both for public execration and
criminal prosecution, are the manufactur-
erS of the alum baking powders, who are
both by means of gifts and lottery tickets,
disposing Of Large quantities of their corro-
sively poisonous compounds. which are so
well known to be detrimental to health that
no housekeeper will admit them to her
kitchen, knowingly. This form of swindle
is not only being peddled from
house to house, but under the promise
of large profits to be realized,
the manufacturers are entrenching them
selves behind the counters of many grOcers
by getting them TO offer the alum goods
with the gifts or lottery tickets attached
thereby shifting the liability TO prosecute,
in part, upon other, and perhaps innocent
parties. Every grocer or dealer. for in
stance, who sells or offers for sale any of
the prize or lottery baking powders is a
crimin Al in the eye of the law, and liable,
upon conviction, 10 fine and Imprisonment.
wlile those who sell the gift goods are.
morally, as responsible. for they are offer
ing an inducement. or prize, to house.
keepers to use food that contains cor
rosive poison. This is predcament in
which it is not possible Our grocers will
care to place themselves when they come
TO think seriously of the matter.
10 must be borne in mind that all
OF .hese gift or prize baking powders are
alum baking powders. These powders cost
less than four cents pound to produce;
the gift or prize costs but few cents more.
They are sold at the price Of iirst-class
baking powder, so that the swfndle. in
commercial sense, is enormous. But the
chief iniquity of the business consists in
selling, as presumably wholesome, an arti-
Gle Of positively injurious character, and
by means of gifts or bribes inducing serv-
ants or unsuspecting housekeepers to pur-
chase and use il In our daily food.
There should be some prompt method OF
reaching these dangerous practices and
Furnishing the parties engaged IN their pro-
motion. Ii the present laws are not am
pie. we commend the matter TO the consid-
Grafton Of our state board of health for rec.
ommendation of such additional legislation
as shall be effective for the protection of
the public.

INFANTlLE
SKIN DISEASES.

Our oldest child. now six years OF age when
an infant six months old. was attacked with a
virulent, malig nant skin disease. All ordinary
re needles failing. we called cur family physi-
clan, who attempted to cure it but IL spread
with almost incredible rapidity. until the
lower portion Of the little fellows person,
from the middle of his back down TO his knees,
was one solid rash, ugly, painful, blotched and
malicious. We had no rest at night. no peace
by day Finally. we were advised TO try the
CUTfCURA REMEDIES. The effect was simply
marvellous. In three or four weeks complete
cure was wrought. leaving the little fellows
person as white and healthy as though he had
never been attacked. In my opinion your val
liable remedies saved his life. and today he is
a strong. healthy child. perfectly well. no rep
etition of ths disease having ever occurred.

some very appropriate and forcible remarks
about the importance of the'positiOn held
b. General Kennedy, and formerly held by
himself, relating what had been done by
him and his republican associates in oppo-
sition to scoundrelly democratic scheme.
at the head of which stood Hon. Samuel S.
Cox, of, New York, but a native of Ohio, to
give an unfair representation in con-
gress to the south and to cut down
the fair representation of Ohio. Gen
eral Kennedy, in his speech accept
ing the denomination which was given
him by the unanimous voice of the
convention, spoke of the duties and diff
culties Of republican representave in u
democratic house, and convinced all who
heard him that he had been faithful and
had fought a good fight, and that the
nomination had been wOrthily bestowed,
for second time, upon him.
An episode was experienced by the con-
yention, and it was surprise. Mr.. Festus
Walters. of Piqua, who bad been elected,
with Mr.. Foos, TO represent the district at
Chicago, made an allusiOn to Mr.. Blaine
either accidentally or purposely-and
although the convention was unanimous
for Sherman. and had pledged itself to his
support. the uproar at the casual mention
of Mr.. Blaine's name was something re-
markable and quite tremendous aud over
whelming. Whatever il meant aud what
ever it suggested as to what might have oc-
CURED had Mr. Blaine not withdrawn from
the field as candidate, ii showed that
Mr.. Blaine has now, as he has had here
tofOre, wonderful grip upon the hearts OF
republicans. For not Nnly Mr.. Foos, Gen.
K,efer and Senator Sherman were honored
on this remarkable occasion, but a great
man who is now across the ocean. in for
eign land. and who is neither a candidate
nor an aspirant for any office, was honored
also in the most extraordinary and conspic-
uous manner.
The republicans Of the Eighth Ohio con-
gressional district have fired their first gun
for the campaign. and it was loaded to the
muzzle. They were never in better condi-
ton and circumstances for political cam
paign than they are now. The honors be-
slowed at the convention were fairly dis
tributed, and the republicans of the district
are harmonious and happy.
