Jae>brry Commercial.

The Sunrcme Court ot this State holds that
orr Railroad Commission has M right 10 enforce
a reghi aud passenger rate which Will no; pay
the expense ot operating railroad. X ght, tut
the Commission has the power 20 enforce n rate
that will protect both the railroad and the peo-
pie and the nice uue-tinn is what the rate shall
be- Under the law, the Commission must make
the rate Surely, the railroad should not be al
lowed TO make it, the people cannot make it and
the nut must be cracked by the Commission
The case in which the Supreme Court rendered
its decision as above, the Pensacola & Atlantic
Ry Co. VS. the State OF Florida, is not settled
The company must prove that the rate made for
it by the Commission is a burden, the rate not
being sufficient TO enable the road TO psy its
running expenses. Perhaps the said company
may also prove that the road has never paid It's
running expenses, from the time it was first
built. for which the Commission is not RESPONSE
ble as it has only been in existence for q few
years.
Railroads built in new and sparsely settled
countries, built tor revenue only, and purely
business transaction, cannot expect the people to
make them pay from the start. The companies
must look to future development of the country
to reimburse them for the necessary outlay of
capital; and, here in Florida, AS the various
companes did not display an inclination to
wait for HE increase that comes in the natural
order, but were unquestionably eager 10 make it
speedily and without regard 10 the principle
tudt SuOulu govern tutul. IL DeCdtne absolutely
necessary 10 establish Railroad Commission
This Commission must be continued, and must
be sustained by the people. 1t was never in
tended that 1t should work against the true inter
es,s of the railroads, nor is there any indication
that it has ever done so. On The other hand, it
has proved benefit TO the growers and shippers
of the State. The reason why it has not proved
more beneficial to the people is because the peo-
pie have expected the Commission to "do it all ="
and that too without assistance from them; ex-
cept, as far as we can learn, in the case Of the
Cilra Orange Growers Union. This organiza-
ton proceeded intelligently and, we are in
formed, saved about $50 900 in treights to the
people through the action Of the Commission ;
which, having facts and figures presented to
them in an Ineligible manner, were enabled to
act intelligently. The same good may come out
of that important buiwark OF the shipper in the
future, under like circumstances
The railroads should not have burden placed
upon them, but past experience teaches that they
need check, and strong one The Commits
sion must be continued, and, knowing it is
right, it must 60 ahead in the faithful discharge
of The duties placed upon it.

ONE PURE ARTICLE OF FOOD

ally Commended - Good Effects
from the Action of the State Board
of Health.

The acllOn Of the State Board of Health in
publishing the names OF the alum baking pow.
ders sold in Ibis State will he commended by all
who are IN favor of pure and honest food.
Scarce an article sold enters more generally into
the daily food OF every one than baking pow
ders. 1t IS well understood that the alum and
the alum and phosphate baking powders are
detrimental to health, and consumers only re.
quire 10 be informed as TO the names of these un
wholesome brands in order to avoid them
This Information the manufacturers Of the
alum baking powders have tried, however, TO
suppress; one of them going so tar as to SEEK for
an injunction prohibiting the State authorities
from proceeding with their recent investigation
and expose
1t is particularly gratifying to consumers 10
know that the baking powder which they have
80 long been accu- toned 10 using the Roynl
has invariably gone through these anal, scs not
only without reflection against it OF impurty
or EMBELLISHMENTS, but each time more EN-.
pha'icaly endorsed as the superior of all the
baking powders of the market
The health authorities ct n number of other
States have also recently made exhaustive cx-
aminations of this character, and with the uui
form result Of finding the Royal superior To al
Others. The United States Government; Chemist
alter an examination for the Indian Depart
ment made The emphatic statement that
The Royal Baking Pow der is the purest in
quality and highest in strength If any baking

authorizes OF Canada have heen making an elAb
crate study OF he baking powders sold there.
The official analyst of Ontario Says as he result

Baking Powder far superior TO the % hers" and
goes so far as to recommend lis use in pr, ference
10 any other. Likewise u series OF over fivehun.
dred tests for strength made by public ANALYSIS
and Other chemists of prominence throughout
the country show il 10 produce an av, rage of
twenty-five per cent. m, re |, avtning gas than

A company that maintains this high standard
for It's product ag unst the temptations OF the
enormously greater profit That would accrue from
the use OF lie cheaper materials employed by
other (or The alum liking powders are prodnced

The Orlando Reporter saws: "The speech
OF Hon. E. N. Hammond, of Orange, In the Slate
Senate, upon IN" Jack +onvle Charter Bill, was
perhaps the strongest which has been made in
the State Legislature for year. The strong
point about the speech was the fact that it was
ia opposition TO popular sentiment, while in &C
cord with true principle and exact justice. No
party can AFFORD (from purely PARISH stand
poinD TO adept measures which would react
upon itself when power and authority 10 use
them are transferred 10 its opponent. No party
can be so secure in ito hold upon its atf.irs that
it is not liable t" be overIhrown. II is always

We see the great buildings necessary to the
purposes Of Government taking their proper
pisces on the public reservations, aud imposing
private structures becoming more and more
numerous every year. and realize that Wash.
ington is simply growing in proportion TO tho
progress Of tho country and fitting itself for
the purposes OF National Capital. The term
once applied 10 it In derision as the "City OF
Magnificent Distances ilts with grandeur its
many miles of smooth avenues, lined with
shade trees aud handsome buildings of all sorts.
1t is a great city already, and destined TO be,
as we go on, the greatest Capital in the world,
and II is simply the patriotic duty Of all our
people TO help TO make IL no. When the Cen
tennial Exposition of 1876 was held in Phila-
phia il was TO celebrate an event which oc-
CURED at the Capital, practically, of the United
Colonies. 1t would be equally appropriate 10
hold tho second Centennial Exposition there
in 1876. But the Columbian Exposition ought
TO be held ia the District named for Columbus
and in the city named for Washington.
