GIFTS OF POISON.

1t is time that respectable merchants
combined with consumers for the sup
preston of all gift, prize and lottery
schemes in connection with the sale OF
articles of merchandise. These schemes
are not only demoralizing to legitimate
business and to the morals of the COM
munity, but in the extent in which they
are being carried in the sale of articles
of food have become source of great
danger to the public health. They are,
no matter in what form they appear
nothing more or less than devices to
swindle honest and unsuspecting peo-
pie.
1t is gratifying to learn that in some
instances the officers of the law have tax
en- hold of the matter. In New York,
and also in Chicago, parties who in this
way offered gifts to purchasers of their
packages have recently been arrested up
on indictments for lottery swindling.
The latest candidates, both for public ex-
ecration and criminal prosecution, are
the manufacturers of the alum baking
powders, who are both, by means of gifts
and lottery tickets, disposing of large
quantities of their corrosively poisonous
compounds, which are so well known to
be detrimental to health that no house
keeper 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 manufactures are en-
trenching themselves 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 prosecution, in part, upon 9th
er, and perhaps innocent parties. Every
grocer or dealer, for instance, who sells
or offers for sale any of the prize or lot
terry baking powders is criminal in the
eye of the law, and liable, upon convic-
tion, to fine and imprisonment, while
those who sell the gift goods are, morally,
as responsible, for they are offering an
inducement, or prize, to housekeepers to
use food that contains corrosive poi
son. This is predicament in which it
is not possible our grocers will care to
pldCC GLOIlIoClNOo WuOA GuOy COllO w uhihh
seriouslyiof the matter.
1t must be borne in mind that every
one of these gift or prize baking powders
are alum baking powders. These pow
ders cost less than four cents pound to
produce; the gift or prize costs but a few
cents more. They are sold at price of
frst-class baking powder, so that the
swindle, in commercial sense, is enor-
NOUS. But the chief iniquity of the bus
mess consists in selling, as presumably
wholesome, an article of positively in
furious character, and by means of gifts
or bribes inducing servants or unsuspect-
ing houskeepers to purchase and use it in
our daily food.
There should be some prompt method
of reaching these dangerous practices and
Furnishing the parties engaged in their
promotion. If the present laws are not
ample, we commend the matter to the
of our State Board of
Health for recommendation of such ad-
legislation as shall be effective
for the protection of the public.

writer would still be for policy tend

free commercial development, to both
Of which he thinks the Republicans
are opposed. The usual compliments
are bestowed on Mr.. Cleveland.
1.-THE Leeds Mercury, the chief
Gladstonian paper in Yorkshire, starts
off with the profound remark that in
the selection Of General Harrison the
hereditary principle has asserted itself;
but General Harrison leads forlorn
hope. The chance are altogether IA
vorable to Mr.. Cleveland, who has JUS
titled his former choice. Republican
free traders will vote for him or ab-
stain from voting. Nay, the temper
ance men, though they can not hope
to win a single State, are strong
enough to gain a district or two and
this will reduce the electoral count on
the Republican side-a pretty illustra-
ton of average English knowledge Of
American politics.
mo Provincial journal stands high
er than the Manchester Guardian;
none is more fervent in its home rule
faith; none is stouter in its advocacy
of free trade, and none is more ardent
in panegyric on Mr.. Cleveland. There
is in it's article a sentence which is
curiously descriptive,-that which
speaks Of Mr.. Cleveland's decisive yet
cautious action with regard to tariff
reform. That expresses the real mind
of English free-traders. They well
know that if once this cautious Cleve-
land policy be ratified by the country,
the defeat Of the American policy will
be decisive, protection will be doomed,
and the triumph of the British in
America will be assured. The whole
argument of this elaborate Manches-
ter article is in an argument for cleo
ting Mr.. Cleveland in the interests Of
British manufactures"
If Americans had self-respect as
such, this single chapter would be con-
elusive against the Democratic party.
and if there is an Irishman who can
vote the Democratic ticket under the
circumstances, he will do it directly in
aid Of the Tories in both countries
England and America.

Pierce's Favorite Prescription, to safe

period, during which, in too many
lives, alas, are sown the seeds of dis

it to herself, to her family, and to her
social station, to be we'll and strong.

fully compounded by an experienced

Mrs. Phoebe Chesley, Peterson, Clay

able story, the truth of which is
vouched for by the residents of the
town: II am 73 years old, have been
troubled with kidney complaint and
lameness for many years; could not
dress myself without help. Now am
free from all pain and soreness, and
am able to do all my own homework.

Your House on Fire.

Not the house of wood, or brick, or
stone, in which you liYe, but your bod
lily tenement may be in terrible dan
ger from smouldering fire which you
make no effort to quench. The great
danger from impure blood is that it
debilitates the system, and the diges-
tive organs grow weak and inactive.
Hoods Sarsaparilla combines the best
kidney and liver invigorators, with
the best alternatives and tonics, all
from the vegetable kingdom, carefully
and understandingly prepared in a
concentrated form. 1t purifes, vital
ICES, and enriches the blood, and tones
up the system, giving the whole body
vitality, and efectually guarding it
against the attacks of disease.

now runs to waste, and minerals that
now lie untouched in the ground. It
enables struggling industries to pros
per not only by reducing the expense
of carrying their products to mark
ct but also by reducing the
charges upon the commodities for
which they are exchanged. 1t en-
courages men to embark their talents
and their capital in numberless small
enterprises by lessening the danger
that they will be ruined by secret
rates to competitors or by unfair dis
elimination in favor Of great towns
and great corporations. Every ad-
vance Of this kind operates to diver
sify the industry and to multiply the
interests Of small communities, to
open careers to the ambitious, and to
make the life Of the country more
satisfying to the wealthy. 1t tends to
the retention of valuable elements
that are now drained away and to the
attraction Of valuable elements that
are now absent.
1t is too soon as yet to form an es-
innate Of the degree to which the
Commerce Act will bring about such
results. At present its regulations
are extremely moderate, and may per-
haps be evaded where the railroads
conceive it for their interests to do So.
Nor can the act have any very decisive
results unless supplemented by cores
ponding legislation in the several
states. But so far as it has a mean
ing and an operation it promises
under the administration Of the pres
ent commission to be Of considerable
potency in the direction which we
have indicated. As it's true nature
comes to be understood, efforts will
doubtless be made on the part Of the
cities to modify it, and on the part of
the communities to extend it. The
arguments advanced by the cities will
be Of purely economical character;
but for the reasons here stated, and
many others of a similar character
which we have not referred to, the
question is not to be argued upon this
basis. If the theory Of the act is to
be- defended it must be distinctly up
on the ground that the enormous
growth of great cities is an evil and a
danger to our institutions, and that
the stimulation Of the life and
growth of the small towns is an act
of self-preservation on the part of the
nation. The range Of discussion that
is here opened up is a wide one, too
wide for adequate treatment within
these limits; but the suggestions that
have been here offered may be of SER
vice as indicating the vital points at
issue.

Improper habits, improper food,

that simple vegetable preparation,

owing to its remarkable efficacy,
its pleasant taste and its vegetable
composition.
