REVOLUTION IN GEORGIA

SOMETHING ABOUT TIE ATTEMPT TO Sc
CURE AN ENDORSEMENT OF THE PRES
! IDENT's MESSAGE.
| Washington Letter, March 24.
Mr.. Miller. the Commissioner of Inter
nal Revenue, is very much disgusted
with the action of the Democratic State
Central Committee of Georgia at its
meeting in Atlanta a few days ago in
declining to indorse the Presidents mes
sage He is also disgusted with Mr..
Crenshaw, his Collector of Internal Rev
enue at Atlanta, in telegraphing him
that the committee had adopted res
olutions indorsing the message.
II doesn't appear that Mr.. Crenshaw
intended to be ht all untruthful. He
really expected that the resolutions
would be adopted without discussion,
certainly without serious opposition. In
fact he and others interested in retain
ing the internal revenue system had ar
ranged for the presentation of the reSO-
| lutiOns in the committee and their en-
thusiastic adoption. In anticipation of
this he telegraphed Commissioner Miller
that the resolutions had been adopted
and that the State of Georgia through
its Democratic representatives on the
Central Committee had indorsed the
message of the President including those
sentiments in favor of the internal rev.
enue system.
Mr.. Miller was elated, and hurried up
to the White House with the news that
Georgia was with the President on the
internal revenue question. Mr.. Cleve-
land is said to have been pleased. In
deed he expressed satisfaction with the
remarkable progress of the Cleveland
idea of the South. 1t now appears that
Collector Crenshaw was ahead of time
The resolutions were presented in the
committee, but there were some mem
bers who thought the internal revenue
ought to be abolished.
In other words, they belonged to that
faction of the party represented BY Sen
ator Brown. They consequently didn't
take any stock in the Cleveland idea,
and they said so. Therefore they
couldn't and they wouldn't adopt any
resolutions indorsing the Cleveland mes
sage. The advocates of the indOrsing
measure concluded that it was little
too early to spring such an issue. The
row is said to have lasted ten minutes,
and in the second round the resolutions
were knocked out. The author prudent
" withdrew them. AS the matter now
stands the committee seems to have i'll
dorsed the recent speech of Senator Joe
Brown for the abolition of the internal
revenue system, and the Cleveland
manipulators in Georgia, it is reported
here, feel as if they had been slightly
frostbitten.

CONTEMPLATING \ BAKING
POWDER

The public is too well informed as 70
the danger from alum baking powders to
need any caution against using them 1t
Is. nevertheless. fact that many of our
most prudent ana careful hOuSekeeperS
are. without knowing il. using these dele
teriouS articles daily. and from them pre-
pairing for their families food which were
they aware of its nature. they would not
offer to a begeer. Baking powders made
from burnt alum cost less than four cents
a p0unG When these can be worked off
III place of the Royal Baking Powder, and
sold for forty or fifty cents pound. there
are many manufacturers and dealers suf-
iiciently unscrupulOus to do it.
i fayoTite method of selling these
poisonous alum baking powders is by
placing them in an empty Royal Baking
Powder can and weighing them out in
small quantities when the Royal Baking
Powder is called for by customers. The
grocer. if questioned, claims that he buys
IN large packages at a lower rate, and is
thus able to sell below the price of the
goods in small cans. All baking powders
sold in this way are entitled TO suspicion.
Analyses OF many of them have been
made with a view to prosecution. and III
all cases they have been found largely
ad'Ilterated and generally made from
poisonous burnt alum. This is selling
counterfeit goods. and is. of course an
offence against the law. We are glad to
know that the Royal Baking Powder
Company have taken the matter in hand.
and are acting in Il way that will protect
the public from the SWindle.
The SureSt protection from this fraud
is for the houSekeeper to buy the baking
powder OF the brand she wishes in the
original unbroken package, looking care
fully to see that the label has not been
tampered with. The Royal Baking Pow
der Company announce, what is well
known. that their goods are packed for
the convenience of customers in cans of
various sizes, but are never sold in bulk.
by the barrel. or loose by weight or meas
ure. The cans are securely sealed with
the c0mpanyS trade-label, and the weight
of each package stamped on the cover
Any baking powder being peddled out by
weight under the name of Royal they de-
nounce as bogus and to be avoided.
Consumers should bear these facts in
mind if they do not wish to nave imposed
upon them the poisonous alum stuff that
is being prOfusely distributed throughout
the country under the name of baking
powder. If however, they buy the Royal
in canS with unbrOken labels. they are
always sure of using baking powder
perfectly pure and wholesome, and of the
highest test. strength and efficiency.

NEXT Sunday is Easter. the festival
of the resurrection of Christ, or the
Christian passover. For centuries the
time was in dispute, but was finally To-
Gated the first Sunday after the full moon
which happens upon or next after March
u; and if the full moon happens on sun
day, Easter day is the sunday after. This
was done at the council of Nice, \. ID.
325.
This sacred festival the queen of fes-
tiyals been observed from the be-
ginning, and is celebrated in all parts Of
the Christian world with great pomp and
solemnitv. The primitive Christians very
early in the morning saluted each other
with the words: Christ is risen:" 10
which the response was made: Christ
is risen indeed, and hath appeared to
Simon" The Greek Church stiilretains
this custom. In nearly all Christian
countries tie recurrence of Easter has
been celebrated with ceremonies and
popular sports. The use Of coiored eggs
originated in England, about the time of
Edward |. In the Northern counties Of
England the men parade the streets and
claim the privilege Of lifting the women
three times, receiving in payment kiss
or silver coin. The same is done to
the men by the women on the next day.

INSTINCT INBRUTES.

Few things are more wonderful than
the instinct that guides the brute III the
choice of its food and medicine. In India
the mungoOse, when bitten by the deadly
cobra, is said to seek among the grass for
some unknown herb or substance which
it swallows and is thereby enabled to
cOunteract the effect of the poison. Man,
when his system is deranged by the ac-
cumulated pOisOns engendered by con
stipation or a sluggish habit Of body,
should seek relief in Dr. Pierce's Pellets,
which will at once establish a permanent
ly healthy action of tie liver, stomach
and bowels

THE facts concerning the treatment of
General Thomas at the time it was propo-
Sed to remove him from command in Ten
nessee are being brought to light. Thorn
as friends held Grant responsible for the
movement, and for the subsequent sup
preston of dispatches which contained
his complete vindication: but it appears
the little wretch Badeau is wholly respOn-
sible for tie latter, and almost directly for
Thomas death. General Boynton, who
served under Thomas, writes:
The facts. as now known to the friends
of General Thomas. are that the dispatch
es furnished by Badeau were far from
complete, and that he had deliberately
suppressed fifteen dispatches of the great
est consequence to General Thomas side
of the case, and the very ones in which
he took the greatest pride as affording
him the fullest vindication.
This outrageous treatment properly en-
ragged General Thomas. He chafed under
it. and brOOded over it as the crOwning in
dignity offered him, and as stab infiict-
