simply impossible as long as their face is

But wait, there is no need of this; one or

all such designations, and make your face

have been strengthened by the good sales
and advancing prices of cross-breds and
fine On the whole, it looks as if there
would be a reacton-how soon no one can

TIE fifth annual report of the New
York Bureau of Labor Statistics sub
mitted to the Legislature of that State
recently is very interesting from the
manner in which it discusses strikes.
Unlike most similar reports, it upholds
the strikes as the best weapon the work
man has "Strikes," it says, "have help
ed to raise wages. to shorten hours, to
improve the condition not only Of the
particular workingmen who have risen
up in protest, but also OF the masses.
Bakers, by means of the strike, have re-
duced their hours from eighteen to
twelve. Wages in whole trades have
gone up.from 10 per cent. to 30 per cent.
because the men in particular shops
have asserted themselves. Even lost
strike is not always a dead loss: it may
carry with it the promise and potency Of
betterment in some other way" So
much for the bright side of the strike
picture; now observe the dark as pre-
sented in the same report. The amount
of wages lost to the men on strike for
the year is placed at S2,013,229 IS, the
number of men who lost their places on
account of striking was 8,1!6, and the
money paid out By the labor unions to
strikers for the year amounted to S2l7,-
069 49, The loss TO the business cstab-
lishments on account of the strikes must
have been very considerably more than
that of the strikers. The strike may be-
an effective weapon, but it is bound to
cut both ways.

THERE ought not to be an nl-natured
controversy over the nomination for
Congress in this district. Nothing but
harm can result from it. and there is
nothing at stake that will justify Re
publieans in engaging in acrimonious
disputation over the merits of rival can
didates On the contrary. paving no
attention to the selfish ambitions of
men, looking solely to the public inter
ests, the Republicans of the district
should put in nomination the man who
is best fitted to serve the people. Is
there not enough patriotism remain
ing in the party to rise above the clam
or and ambitions of men, and nominate
the man who can best serve the people,
no matter where he resides, nor how
many wears he has been in Office: This
man or that man may think he ought to
be in Congress. That is his privilege.
No fault can be found with him, nor
with his especial friends; bat why should
the six thousand Republican voters of
Belmont county get into an uprOar about
it? few of whom, comparatively, have an
acquaintance with the individual, and
only small per cent. of whom have
such relations with him as warrant
them in quarreling with their neighbors
about sending him to Congress. Why
not consider deliberately who can best
serve the people. and nominate him?
That is the course grown men ought to
pursue.
Men have an undoubted right to pre-
fer whom they please, and to do anything
they fairly can to promote the interests
of their favorites and they are entitled
to considerate treatment; but we protest
that there is no occasion for ill-natured
controversy. and that it is the patriotic
duty of Republicans to discourage and
frown upon every movement calculated
to create strife and i'll feeling. Men
should 60 into that conVentl0n-and
indeed. into all conventions not the
blind and noisy partisans of any individ
ual, but to consult and deliberate and
act as wise and patriotic men should.
The primaries viii be held in the after
noon of Saturday, May y. They should
be attended by all the Republicans of
the county, and they should see to it
that men are chosen as delegates who
viii represent the sentiment of the Re
publicans of the precinct, and, under no
circumstances. that the viii of the peo-
pie is subyerted That is the opportu-
nifty afforded the people 20 express them
selves. If they neglect it, and are dis
appointed in the result, they alone are
to blame.

AT the session Of the General Assem-
bly, Just closed, about thirty counties Of
the State, among them Belmont, Were
authorized to expend not TO exceed
$1,000 each for the purpose of making
display of their products at the Column
bus Centennial. Ii would be gratifying
to many for Belmont's products from
farms, mines. furnaces, etc, rich and
hardly excelled by any in the State, to
have a prominent place in the exhibit
at Columbus, but considering the heavy
expenditures being made for public i'm
provements and the state of the funds
at hand to meet current expenses,
it would be a matter of doubtful pro-
priety-to put it mildly--for the Com
missioners to allow any considerable part
of the amount authorized for making
the proposed display. The Commission
ers are assured that the people at large
are more interested just now in making
it possible to decrease the tax levy than
in making big display at the Centen-
nial.

FRAUDS OF CURRENT HISTORY.

FRAUDS OF CURRENT HISTORY.
Philadelphia North American.
= Mr.. Lowell seems to have read
nothing of these speeches which were re-
ported for him. He seems to have taken
his notion of them from the editorials of
his favorite newspapers, in which Mr.
Sherman was described as waving the
bloody shirt" But in truth neither MI
Sherman nor Mr.. Hoar, nor any other man
to whom the party looks for light and for
leading, has been barking back to the is
sues of the civil war. They protested
against the iniquity of to-day, by which
the Southern States hold fast to their full
representation in Congress, while dis
franchising large proportion of their
people, in defiance of the plain meaning
Of the Fourteenth Amendment. Does
Mr.. Lowell deny that fact? Mr.. Henry
WatterSOn, Of Kentucky, says: I should

thus frankly admitted by an eminent
Democratic journalist, one TO which Re
publicanS have no right to refer as the
fruit of a system of outrage and terrorism
and fraud? Do MIR. Lowell and his friends
contemplate it with the entire indiffer-
ence which is indicated by their entire
silence? There was poet Lowell once,
who wrote:
Where'er thy wildered crowd of brethren jostles.
Where'er there fingers but shade of wrong,
There still Is need of martyrs and apostles,
There still are texts for never-dying song.
For what songs have the wrongs of the
disfranchiSed freedman and the coerced
Irishman furnished Mr.. Lowell with
texts?
No, Mr. Lowell, it is not true that things
are as bad as they were twenty years ago
when you were a stalwart Republican
comparing your political opponents to
Benedict Arnold, and expecting the coun-
try to ride rough shod over the South,
whose sensibilities now must not be
touched with the end of feather We
have made great advances since then,
which owe very little to you and your
friends We have secured decent election
laws and methods in nearly every North
ern State. We have had series of Con-
crosses the purest in their personal char
acter and the freest from corrupt jobs
that the country ever has known. We
have broken up rings which rode in pow
er in every municipality of the country,
and secured more effective government
for most of our cities We have sent
more political criminals to the penitenti-
ary than in any other twenty years of
American history, and in most cases we
have put a stop to the practices by which
they flourished
If Mr.. Lowell is not satisfied with the
conduct of politics, neither is any one; yet
its BOgsism is less rampant now than
in the years following the wars close
There has been marked growth Of con
scientious discrimination by voters, wher
ever the way has been opened for it by
honest elections. In the L. s. Senate, il

THERE is much anxiety at Bellaire
over the disposition among glass manu-
facturers toremove to natural gas towns.
While there can be no question that fac
tories that have a sure and plentiful
supply of natural gas, at cheap rates,
are especially favored, yet there are
facilities for manufacturing at Bellaire
in other respects greatly superior to any
of the natural gas towns, and its i'm
mense iron works and steel plant, alone,
is worth more to a town than all the
factories in Findlay, or likely to be there
very soon. 1t is very desirable, of course,
that natural gas shall be reached at
Bellaire, if possible; but, with two
great trunk lines of railroad, and two
other local lines, in the midst of one of
the best coal fields in Ohio. with great
manufacturing interests already devel-
oped, it is not at all likely that any seri-
GUS reverse will befaIl Bellaire.

FOOD TESTS IN NEW YORK.
OFFICIAL ANALYSIS OF BAKING pow
s--ADULTERATIONS IN CREAM
OF TARTAR

OFFICIAL ANALYSIS OF BAKING pow
Rs--ADULTERATIONs IN CREAM
OF TARTAR.
On the direction of the New \ ork
State Board of Health, eighty-four diff
ferent kinds of baking powders, embrac-
ing all the brands that could be found for
sale in the State, were submitted to eX
animation and analysis by Prof. {. +.
Chandler, a member OF 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 prepaT-
alton of human food.
Alum was found in rstwenty-nine sam
pies. This drug is employed in baking
powders to cheaper their cost. The
presence of lime is attributed TO the i'm
pure cream of tartar of commerce use in
their manufacture. Such cream of tartar
was also analyzed and found TO contain
lime and other impurities; III some sam
Piles to the extent of 80 per cent. of their
entire weight.
All the baking powders of the market,
with the single exception of Royal Oot
including the alum and phosphate pow
ders. which have not the virtue of even
an impure cream of tartdr), are made
from the adulterated cream of tartar of
commerce. and consequently contain lime
to corresponding extent.
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 tartar of lime
and other impurities. The cost OF this
chemically pure cream of tartar is much
greater than any other, and on account
of this greater cost is used in no baking
powder but the Royal"
Prof. Love, who made the analysis OF
baking powders for the New Y oTk State

someness of the Royal:

posed of pure and wholesome ingredients.
1t is a cream of tartar powder of high
degree of merit, and does not contain
