IT REALLY seems as if no speech can be
made in the North, no matter on what sub
ject or by whom delivered, in which oppor'
tuGity is not made for Juggling in allu:ions
to the ci~il war, and thereby perpetuating
thoughts which the experience ofall nations
would teach wise men to forget. AT St.
Patrick's celebration it would seem that q
man would have to 60 out of his way to call
up memories of cruel and bloody inferno
cine conflict in which gallant Irishmen OPP
posed each other, but at such celebration
in New York last Saturday night, 90 other
man than Mr.. Grover Cleveland felt it in
cumbent upon him 10 say:
In later years, in order that The United
States might be saved Os n precious herlt-
pse. lives were sacrificed and blood was shed
on many hard fought battle field. We
should not DC content with the sacred and
grateful remembrance of those who shed
their blood aud gave their lives for its per-
petuation."

REV DIR FULTON of New York, q Bap-

was invited to preach in a Baptist church
there, but having, subsequent to the invita-
ton, made speech to the negrocs,ln which
he said Let the black map have money.
aud he can buy railroads in Georgia, and
other States where the negro is not allowed
equal privileges with the whites, and then
the former can cay to the latter: Now, If
YOU don't behave yourself | will put you oil

What else than what he did say could have
been sxpec'ed of him? Why this same DIR.
Fulton Is one of the most noted bloody shirt
waivers in the North. IL was only few
wears ogo that be carried his South hating
so far as to oppose the admission Of Rev
DIR. Samson, of Washington, to the Baplist
Association of New York, because, being g
Southern man, the DR.. had sympathized With
the South during the war. Southern gush is
only ignored, ridicued, condemned or snub-

Public Warming Against Cheap Bnk-

sion PrOmiSets.-NanieO Of The Alum
Powders Sold in the State.


The New jersey State Board of Health
has published ils official regulations for the
enforcement of the laws relating to the
adulteration of food and drugs. With re
ference to baking powders, the following
provision is made:
BAKING Powders. The market is
ll)oded with large quantities Of inferior bak-
ing powders, and as these are cold largely
10 working people, and are used by these
people as substitutes for yeast, it is neces
sary, in order that light bread be made, that
these powders have proper leavening power.
This power the cheaper powders do not
have, many Of them giving off very little
carbonic gas. These cheap and imperfect
powders contain alum or phosphate, and
are so crudely compounded that residue
is left in the bread or biscuit after baking.
The public are warned against these, and in
their suppression will be faithfully aided"
The regulations provide for the collection
OF samples which are to be forwarded to
the State chemists for analysis. Four chem
ists have b, en- appointed as follows: Prof
A. r. Leeds, Hoboken Prof. II. B. Corn
wall, Princeton Shipper Wallace, Burling
ton, and Or. w. X. Newton, Paterson.
The following are the names of the alum
baking powders sold in the State examined
and reported upon by the State Chemists

a FOUL PLOT.

A Murder ana a Subsequenr LynchinE
In West Virginia Proves to Have Been
the Result of a Eiendish Plot to Re-
move an Obnoxious Politician and
Lynch the Hired Assassin to Destroy
Evidence Against the Conspirators.
CHICAGO, Sept. "a Herald special
from Wheeling, w. Va, says investiga-
tions by the grand jury in Fayette Coun-
ty have brought to light o fendish plot.
About month ago white man named
Charles West was waylaid and butchered
by Bill Turner, q worthless negro who
had been criminal all his life. West
was prominent citizen, and a commit
tee of regulators lynched Turner. Curl
osity about the motive OF Vests murder
were aroused, and statements Turner had
made just before he was strung up be-
came so numerous that the grand jury,
then in session, took cognizance OF them
and began an investigation.
One Of the lynchers, John West, u
cousin Of the murdered man, was sum-
moned, and during his examination broke
down and made the following remarkable
confession: "Charles West was polit-
cally obnoxious to a number of persons
in Fayette County, and they determined
to have him removed. He was too prom
inent man to be killed without exciting
q searching examination, which might
prove unpleasant for his murderer and
he could not be provoked to quarrel, in
which he might be killed in self-defense.
The plotters were in dilemma, and held
several conferences. At last they hit
upon the plan OF hiring Turner to do the
deed and then lynching him before he
had a chance to implicate them, thus de-
stroying all trace Of their guilt"
West was killed and Turner was
lynched, but before they could strangle
their hired bravo, he let fall few words
which gave clew to the officers Of the
law. The investigation has not been
concluded, but those concerned in the
plot are known and will be indicted at
once. Three Of them haye become
alarmed, and have left the city, abandon
ing their property, but the rest are being
shadowed by deputy sheriffs, and will be
arrested if they attempt to go out Of the
county.
