The action OF the New Jersey State Board
of Health in publishing the names OF the
alum baking powders sold in that state will
be commended by all who sre in favor OF
pure and honest food. Scarce an article
sold enters moro generally into the daily
food oil every one than baking powders 1t
is we'll understood that the alum and the
alum and phosphate baking powders are
detrimental to health, and consumers only
require to he informed as to the names OF
these unTholesome brands in order to avoid
them.
This Information the manufacturers OF the
alum baking powders are endeavorlng 1t
seems, to suppress. It is stated that they
went so far as TO seek (unsuccessfully, how
ever, for an Injunction to prohibit the Nav
Jersey authorities from proceeding With
their recent investigation and expose.
Il is particularly gratifying to consumers
to know that the baking powder which they
have so long been accustomed to using, the
Royal, has invariably gone through these
analyses not only,without reflection against
it of impurty or univ holesomeness, but each
time more emphaically endorsed "a the
superior of ell the baking powders OF the
market
The health authorities OF q rumbar Of
other States have also recently made e2-
haustive examinations Of this character, and
with the uniform result of finding the Royal
superior TO all others. The Unlted States
Government Chemist, after All examination
for the Iadinn Department made the emphat
c statement thai" rheiRoyal Baking Powder
a the purest in quality and highest IN
strength of any baking powder OF which l
have knowledge" The authorities of Cana
Ia have been making an elaborate study Of
the baking powders sold there, The official
analyst OF Ontario says IS the result of his
investigation that he finds the Royal RaS-
ing Powder far superior to the Others" and
goes go far as to recommend its use il pre-
ference to any other. Likewise, series
Of over five hundred tests for strength made
by public analysis and other chemists OF
prominence throughout the country show it

ALEX a NDRIA-.
MONDAY EVENING. MARCH 25.

THE New York Herald says "the South Is
too nervous on the Southern question as
there is no cause for alarm" If the Herald
were ,ublished in community of which
negroes composed majority or large pro-
norton of the voters, it would not talk TINS
way, for it would then. know what 1t was
talking about. l. would know that the
white people of the South are now, after 8
ouarter of a century of free schools, the only
norton Of the population of their section
with intelligence enough to be materially or
morally interested in its welfare; that the
oeoroes invariably vote as a unit always
making it "hot" for those OF their own race
who NAV attempt to vote the democratic
Ticket and that to entrust the affairs Of
community to such people would be to devote
that community to utter ruin and destrpc-
tion and to make the land thereof desoiate
and waste place. Justice Lamar, years ago.
trnthfully said the South had long since
abandoned all hope OF being fairly repre-
scented Mt the North, and nothing that has
occnrr, d since has changed that condition.
A modicum of the expense the Herald iucurs
in lis Efforts 10 discover the secrets OF the
north poe and OF central Africa, would put
it in possession of the 'true story" of the
race question in the South, and then 1t
won not think the South is too nervous"
on that question.

The engineer who has been appointed by
the Secretary Of War TO survey route for
the proposed Mt Vernon Avenue, is report
ed to have said that the route he will sur.
yey will be straight one from the south
end of the Aqpeduct Bridge to Mt. Vernon.
If that route he adopted, the avenue will

struction of road from Alexandria tolthe

lington be delayed indefinitely. Congress
passed the bill providing for the survey, I'm
der the impression that Washington street
Alexandra, on which stand the church
Washington attended and the free school he
founded, would be part of the avenue.
General Malone, accompanied by ex
Congressman Brown and Bowen, and ex-
Marshal Watts, of his State, took drive
yesterday evening out 10 and through the
grounds of the Soldiers Home. The Gener-
al seems to be in good spirits, but says little
or nothing about the present administration.
The Southern republicans here seem to
have reached the conclusion that none oil
the pums of the present administration
will fall to their lot, aHd that as much as
they can now expect will be the small of
fees in their own States. General Long
street, who first aspired to cabinet posi-
ton, and then made formal application for
the French mission, would now, 1t is said
be thankful for customs or internal reve
nue. collectorship in Georgia. and that so it
is with all the others who, like the General,
vanly supposed that their desertion of their
States, their section, their people and their
race, would be recompensed with important
and lucrative Offices.
General Lac continues to improve, though
only slowly, and is still confined to his
rooms at the Eohilt As soon as the wealth
or shall become settled, he proposes to start
on his long contemplated southern trip.
Col. Mosby is still here, attending to the
preparation OF the papers necessary for the
proper presentation of bis case, the Court OF
Claims decision in which has been appealed
by the government to the u. S. Supreme
Court. The Colonel says that though he
has not applied for any office, aud has dis.
tinctly stared that he has nothing to do with
Virginia politics. he is constantly approach
