Food Tests in New York.
Official Analysis Of Baking Powders
AdultefatIpps in Cream OF Tartar,

Under the direction OF the New York
State Board of Health, eighty-four differ
ent kinds of baking powders, embracing
all the brands that could be found for
,ale IN the State, were submitted TO ex-
animation and analysis by Prof. C. f..
Chandler, q member IF the State Board
and President of the New York City
Board of Health, assisted by Prof. Ed
ward 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 mine sam
Piles. This drugis employed in baking
powders to cheaper their cost. The
presence oflime il attributed to the inn
pure cream of tartar of commerce nsed
in their manufacture. Such cream of
tartar was also Analysed and found to
contain lime and other Impurities; in
some samples TO the extent of93 per cent
of their entire weight.
All the baking powders of the market,
with the single exception of the "Royal'
(pot including the alum and phosphate
ppwners, which have nos the viltue OF
even an impure cream tartar), are made
from the adullerated cream of tartar OF
commerce,a and consequently contain lime
to a corresponding extent.

chemical analysis TO be entirely free from

THE COMMON SCHOOL LAW.
A Review of some of the Changes
made by the Last Legislature.

The Bill amending tie Common
School Laws of Kentucky which
was passed by the last General As
sembly, is in many respects calcn-
lated to greatly better the common
school system ofodr gate, and will
do much toward helping Kentucky
10 take rank along with her sister
States in point ofintalligence.
The Harrodaburg Democrat con,
demns the bill solelyon the grounds
thatifcontemplates a uniform series
of questions throughout the State,
prepared and sent out by the State
Board under seal to County Super
intendents and goes on to state
that a satisfactory examination
cannot be made from one set OF
questions, even if Solomon himself
were the Trainer Of them. / take
the liberty to say to the Democrat
that the common school system in
Kentucky proposes to give to its
citizens the advantages only to be
derived from a common school ed
ucaNon, and does not in any de-
gree propose to graduate its future
citizens in all ofthe Isms and 0lo-
gies; and can see no good reason
why set of questions contemplate
ing test of my knowledge of the
common school branches in Law
renee County should not be an
equal test in Mercer county or any
other county ofthe State. And the
State Superintendent, knowing the
character Of the examinations held
in the respective counties of the
State, can form some adequate con-
ception ofthe abb ity of the teach
ers throughout the Commonwealth,
when the grade Ct certificates that
issue are forwarded to him in the
general report of County Superin-
tendents, and thus knowing, can
come to some reasonable conclusion
as to what is being accompHs Eed
here in the State of Kentucky,
through the medium of her public
schools, which have been wisely
STYLED the peoples colleges.
The bill enlarges the duties of the
County Superintendent, compels
the attendance Of teachers upon
county Institutes, and provides for
the monthly payment Of teachers ;
allows trustees to appoint their own
collectors Of. tax, empowering said
collectors 10 take by distraint, same
as Sheriffs are now empowered to
collect State revenus; provides for
five months schools in all districts
in the State after June Both, 1889,
and fixes five days upon which al
examinations shall be held, viz :
first Fridays in July, August, Sep
TENDER, November and January,
and no examination shall be held
at any other time whatever; does
away with State certificates and
recognizes no diploma; compels
district trustees 10 build good and
comfortable school houses within
six months after having been no
titled in writing so to d" by the
County Superintendent and many
more changes, all of which are good,
and, as / think, conducive to the
general welfare of the common
Ischool system throughout the state
and we shall hail with delight the
time when teachers will be laid nc
cording to the grade Of their certif-
icates, and not make it y mere mat,
ter of chance as 10 whether a first
or a third class teacher shall re-
ceive the better wages

WHY HE WANTED 1T.

In his minority report from the COM
mittee on resolutions in the Republican
state convention yesterday, Gen. BAR
RETT took issue with the majority report
and with the Republican national plat
form on the question of revenue revision
Gen. BARRETT represented the farming
community, and it is not surprising that
the farmers are demanding lesSened
taxation. That the farmers OF Min
nesota and the wOrkingmen OF the
state have an mtoleraDle burden to bear
under the present high tariff the toi-
lowing figures will clearly prove. FIRST
comes the farmers or mechanlcs
kitchen: The iron his stove is made OF
is taxed IS per cent; his hollow ware,
such as pots and kettles, 80 per cent
copper and brass utensils, 45 per cent;
crockery, So per cent; glassware, DO
per cent; table cutlery and spoons, ID
per cent; salt fish, % per cent; salt, %
per cent; sugar, AZ per cent; vinegar,
81 per cent; pickles, So per cent; rice,
l23 per cent; fruits, 90 per cent.
Then come his hOuSe-furnishing arti-
cles, on which he pays duties as FOL
lows (the amount of duties being added
to the cost of production by the home
manufacturer; Carpets Gfmade OF drug
gets), rs per cent; if of tapestry, 6S per
cent; furniture, 50 per cent; wall paper,
% per cent; window curtains, 40 per
cent; looking glasses, from 50 to 20 per
cent.
Now for clothing: On wooden gar
ments, As per cent; cotton hosiery and
undershirtS, As per cent; wooden hats
and caps, 70 per cent; gloves, 80 per
cent; blankets, go per cent; alpaca
dresses, GO per cent; wooden dresses, 20
per cent; a pair of scissors, 40 per cent;
brass pins, so per cent; hair pins, 40 per
cent; pen knives, so per cent; needles,
25 per cent; steel pens, 40 per cent.
The eommonest things in use on the
farm he pays an equally high tax Oh.
For example, paint or white lead, 81 per
cent; bricks, 50 per cent; roofing states,
so per cent; horseshoe nails. 81 per
cent; trace chains, 53 per cent; hand
saw. 40 per cent; files, 40 per cent; bags
and bagging for his grain, 40 per cent;
combs and brushes, so per cent; any
iron or steel he may need, on an aver
age of 45 per cent.
These figures are taken from the
tariff schedule, and are open to inspec-
ton and verifcatiOn by any enc who
takes the trouble to examine for him.
self.
The Farmers alliance is perfectly
correct in demanding tariff revision.
