PnhIic-

a deadly dangers thing, was EX-Presi-
dent Cleveland's topic at Il public recep-
ton in Buffalo last week, where he was
most cordially welcomed by his former
t~Ownspeople. After scoring the last
Congress for It's billion dollars approprl
alton he said:
"Public extravaganza i'll its relation
to inequilable tariff laws not only lays
an unjust tribute upon the people, but
is responsible for unfair advantages
bestowed upon special and favored in
terests rs the price of partisan support.
Thus the exercise of the popular will for
the benefit of the country at large is
replaced by soIdid and selfish motives
directed 10 personal advantage, while
the encouragement Of such motives in
public place for party ends deadens the
official conscience.
Public extravaganza directly distrib-
utes gifts and %gratuities among the peo-
pie, whose liberation of waste is thus
secured or whose past party services are
thus compensated, or who are thus
bribed to future party support. This
makes the continuance of partisan pow
er a stronger motive among public SER
wants than the faithful discharge of the
peoples trust, and sows the seeds OF
contagious corruption in ihe body
polite.
But to my mind the saddest and most
frightful result of public extravaganza
is seen in the readiness OF the masses of
our people, who are not dishonest but
only needless, to accustom themselves
to that dereliction in public place which
it involves. Evidence isthns furnished
that our counirymen are in danger of
losing the scrupulous insistence upon
the faithful discharge of duty on the
part of their public servants, the regard
for economy and frugality which he
longs to sturdy Amerieanism, the indie
pendeuce which relies upon personal ell
deayor, and the love of an honest and
| well regulated Government, all of
which lie at the foundation of u free
institutions.
Have | oyerstated the evils and dan
gers with which the tremendous growth
of pubic Extravaganza threatens usf
Every man who loves his country well
enough to pause and think OF these
things must know that | have not.
Let MS, then. as W push oil in our
campaign Of education, especially I'M
press upon our countrymen the lesson
which teaches that public extravaganza
is a deadly, dangerous thing, that fru-
gality and economy are honorable, that
the virtue and watchfulness of The peo-
pie are the surest safeguards against
abuses in their government, and that
those who profess to serve their fellow
citizens in public place must be faithful
to their trust"

against another to recover possession Of
her child was tried in Newark, n. j.,
last week, in which evidence to show
that the sale of babies is IA common
thing in the Italian colony in that city
was brought out. The market price for
a boy is $50, and for a girl so. ImtlIs
case the price paid was sic. The wOm-
an who purchased the child said that
having 10 children of her owm ald
wanted one she had bought this babe
from its mother. The testimony PROV
ed clearly that the mother wished to
get her child back, not because she
wanted it, but that she might sell it
again. The bargain which was made
before the child was born is II of the
marks of the degradation to which
many emigranis from Italy have de-
scended.

The Grand Jury of Camden county
completed its labors on Wednesday
without finding any bills against the
lawlessness at Gloucester. The wit
nesses called by the officials to testify
against Gloucester were political op-
ponents Of the Republican Sheriff Baird
who is backed by Billy Thompson.
Others for who subpOenas were issued,
could not be found when wanted and
the testimony before the Grand Jury
was IA complete farce. The political
machinery was used to block the testi-
mony from appearing. When the fore
man of the Jury said that the jury had
no further bills to present OF recon-

A suit to test the eonstitutionality of

ed arrangement, Stephen i. Ransom,
ole of the oldest lawyers i'll Hudson
County. voted az unofficial ballot in al
unofficial envelope. lie was unable 10
get an official Prohibition iiallnt and
made one himself. Under the sixty
third section OF the Werts law it is pro-
vidsd that any person knowingly voting
or offering to vote any but any official
ballot inclosed in an official envelope
shall be liable to a penalty Of S25, to be
recovered in tort by any person who
shall first bring suit. Mr.. Ransom will
contest the case Oh the ground That the
law is unconstitutional, in that it de-
bars voters from exercising their free
right of suffrage. If the Court decides
in Mr.. Blacks favor, it will uphold the
constitutionality of the law by its de-
cisiOn, and the case Will be carried to
the court of last resort in New Jersey.
The question may yet reach the United
States Supreme Court, as affecting the

The Lamar Crank Club met one night
this week and organized with eccentric
ceremonies. The glamour Of midnight
cast shadow over their final actions
and veil of secrecy was thrown over it
all under penalty of total annihilation-
Four members braved the threats OF ex-
posure and attended. Applications
poured in from several quarters and most
were pleasantly rejected. All went well
until one of the members got off the
worm-eaten chestnut about turning
a crank, and then the meeting broke
up amid feeling Of crankiness that
would do credit to a defeated office

The county commissioners met last
Tuesday and besides allowing court and
other claims, began to investigate
the advisability of purchasing the Bald
win and Jay abstract books so far as
they pertain to this county. These
books show the transfers, made before
the destruction by fire of the records, af-
fecting a portion Of the real estate in
this county. By special act Of the leg
islature they were made the legal rec
ord evidence OF title for that time, but
the act is conditioned on the purchase
of these books by the county. The
board had been advised that the books
could be purchased for 5000, and as a
preliminary step wired to see il they
could be bought for $1,000. The answer
was that they could be bought for that
amount, and after lengthy discussion
and examination it was decided not to
purchase them at this session.

BAKING POWDERS.
What the Minnesota State Authori-
ties Know About Them.

(St. Paul, Mimi, Pioneer Press)
II there is a doubt in anybody's mind
as to the quality Of the various baking
powders Of the market, it will be settled
by the evidence given upon the suiect
by the State officials of Minnesota.
The Dairy and Food Commission and
the State Chemist are the highest
official authorities upon such subjects
in this State, and their evidence will be
accepted as disinterested and unpreju-
diced. 1t is their business to examine
the quality Of the different food pro-
ducts, and to suppress the sale of those
found impure and unwholesome, and
all will admit that they have performed
their duties without fear or favor.
At recent examination by Legisla-
tive Committee to determine the quail
ties of the various baking powders sold
in Minnesota, State Chemist and ana
lyst to the Food and Dairy Commission
er, DR.. Charles w. Drew, gave the fol-
lowing evidence:
Ques.-Dr. Drew, see by the report
of the Dairy and Food Commission of
this State that in making analysis OF
the various baking powders OF this
country you report as a result of your
work that the Royal Baking Powder
contains and gives of in baking greater
per cent of carbonic acid gas Qeavening
gas) than any other baking powder made;
is that true?
Ans.-Yes, sir, that is fact
Ques-Doctor, you also found from
experiment that the Royal Baking
Powder will keep longer and retain its
qualities better than any other powder
made, did you not?
Ans.-Yes, sir, think it does.
Ques-Now, the two most desirable
qualities in baking powder are the
amount of carbonic acid gas it contains
and gives off and the length of time it
will keep, are they not?
Ans.-Qes, sir.
Ques.-Then the Royal Baking Pow
der, possessing those qualities, is the
best powder made, is it not?
Ans.-Well, that would be the natur-
al conclusion.
Ques.-Well, that is the fact, is it not?
Ans-Yes, think it is. 1 consider
it is one Of the best baking powders
made.

but $3.50 according to the Sparks and
S67. 80 according to the filed statements
of the chairman and secretary of the
committee. OF this s67.50, according to
the sworn statements of the various
democratic candidates, G. G. Huddleston
contributed $500; H. ]. Gochenour,
$500; j. S. McClung, $50; A. E. Craw-
ford, $1,000; Frank Tate, $1,000 and o.
Hit, $500. Total $3.50.
The total expenditures OF the candi-
dates, according to the statements filed,
are about as follows: W. P. James, Sn.7O;
E. E Pike, $3.50; c. G. Huddleston,
5000; NJ. j. Underwood, s13S.70; H. ].

to allow for lapses of memory in such
cases as railroad fare. labor, all of the
livery rigs in Lamar for election day,
