NEEDED LEGISLATION.
Baking Powder Bill Passed by the
 Minnesota senate.

The recent newsper discussion of the dangerous qualities of ammonia comes from the alarming increase of its use in baking powders. People who ab sorb it small quantities from day to day suffer from slow ammonia poisoning. Taken internally in sufficient quanti- ties it eats away the coating of the stomach and intestines and causes death. Slow ammonia poisoning pro- duces various forms ofstomach troubles.
 Not one woman in ten thousand would use an ammonia baking powder if she knew it. Such baking powders not only undermine the health, but Ammonia imparts asallow and blotched complexion.
 Following is the bill recently passed by the Minnesota senate. It's the danger signal which the law throws out for the protection of the people: "A Bill for an Act to Regulate the \ Traffic in Baking Powder.
 Section 1. Any person who shall knowingly sell or procure for sale, or offer for sale any package or can of Baking Powder, containing any Ammonia it, not distinctly, leglbly and durably branded. stamped or marked in a place with the words in the En- glish language This Baking Powder contains Ammonia" in letters of great pica, or any letters equivalent thereto In length, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and punished by a dne not less than 20 or more than $50; shall be confined in the County Jail not less than ten or more than twenty days or by both fine and Imprisonment, at the discretion of the court,
 section 2.-The sale or offer for sale of the substance mentioned in the foregoing section m packages not stamped, marked, branded or labeled as therein required, shall be prima- facie evidence of knowledge of the character Of said substance, on the part of the person so selling or offering for sale and his employer.
 section 3.-This act shall be in force on and afterlts passage.
 NOTE.-An incident occurred in the house when the senate bill came up for passage, in reference to an amendment proposed by MT, Dlment. This was opposed by several mem- bers Mir. Fcig said that if the bill as it came from the senate was all right then the amend ment was all wrong. The amendment com polling the printing of the word Ammonia" on the label only affected the Royal Baking Powder, and no wonder they felt the senate bill was blow at them.-st. Paul Dispatch.

Arizona Cattle,

Live stock on ranges is the title of a report just issued from the census de. partment, in which the district of Ari. zona is treated as follows:
 'Schedule returns were received from 9S7 herds. The character of the country is mountainous, generally witt. broad, sandy and barren plains, having limited supplies of forage and water. The winters are not severe. Arizona is chased as an arid region. Although subject in midsummer to heavy rains and great floods, the rainfall is moi sufficiently distributed throughout tn, year to prevent long periods of drouth. The ranges are not as a rule over. crowded, and wool growers have moi as yet occupied extensive ranges, ex. ccpt in Apache and Yavapai counties. The range stock of Arizona is reported as follows: Cattle 659, ,75S; horses 1S,. 557; mules and burros 1,203; sheel 412, ,709; 3,013. Mature stock in tho extreme western counties, aside iron home consumption, finds market il the Pacific coast towns, while from tn, northern and eastern counties, wher, large herds are located, the market is in the distant eastern cities.
 The great distance from market and long continued hostilities of the In dians have greatly retarded the devel opment of Arizona's live stock proba bilities. As range section it is less densely stocked than any other grazing region in the United States. While oi late years the range cattle and horse industries have been depressed, the sheep industry is reported as in good condition"

A New Yorker who was coming up the country the other day found him self occupying seat in coach with dn old farmer, and after some general conversation the subject of theweather was preached.
 Have you noticed?n queried the New Yorker, ''that every weather prophet in the country is predicting q lard winter?n
 ''I-I expect l have answered the farmer as he looked back over his shoulder at woman three seats back, who was industriously engaged knit ing a wooden sock.
 Have you noticed that the corn Lusks are thicker than usual?n
 ''They may be-" replied the farmer with another backward glance.
 ''I have been told that squirrels are .aying in an unusually large supply of .ood, and that the robins have already zone south.
 "Yes, I suppose so."
 You are farmer aren't you?''
 Yes
 "There are certain signs to tell the farmer what the winter is going to be, aren't they?"
 The man looked back in nervous and uneasy way and did not reply. ihe New Yorker saw that the woman was sitting bolt upright and watching aim closely, but he said:
 ''Down in Kentucky they go a great deal by the goose bone. Do you re- gard it as an indicatorp"

 Take it all around then, what sort of a winter do you think it is going to be?''
 At this moment the little wo nan came over to him and sharply de- manded:
 Stranger, what yur talking to Noah about?"
 'I was asking him what he thought of the coming winter ma'am. '
 Well, if you want to talk anything about the weather, crops, politics, or anything else, am the person to talk to. l was widder when Noah mar ried me, and still hold everything in my name, and he can stay or skip just as he wants to.

ACCORDING to a Pittsburg paper
Senator Farwell, of Illinois, gave
the following interview on his way
home for the holidays: 81 do not
think the Federal elections bill will
be passed. 1t will be killed by the
obstructive tactics of the Democrats
and others In spite of the presidents 8
entreatics. Little Benny hasn't as
much influence around Washington
as he might have. He freezes ev-
erybody, and people who 60 TO him
with respect leave with disgust. The
countrys opinion of his administra-
ton was shown in the recent election.
Mind you. l was supporter of
President Harrison, too, but l sup
ported him because 1 imagined he
had sense enough to fili the position.
He is too small mentally and every
o her way to fill the chair" Sena-
tor Farwell thought Senator Cullom
would be nominated by the RepubIi-
cans for president, although Blaine,
"of course" will be q candidate.

THE latest thing in the way OF
trusts is a grain drill combination.
The manufacturers Of harvesters,
of threshers and of drills have all
formed leagues within the past few
months for the purpose of regulat-
ing their output and controlling prf-
ces. 1t may be that the Farmers
alliance has not come to stay, bat it
is likely to last as long as the con-
spiracies entered into by the protect
ed industries to deprive the farmers
of the rights and the benefits of q

The reelection of Senator Vance
is assured. Elias Cara, president
of the state alliance, wrote Senator
Vance on November 20 and asked
him: "If the legislature lnstructs
you to advocate and vote for the
subtreasury plan of financial re-
form, will you carry out such in
structions in good faith Mr..
Vance replying from Washington,
December 6, says that he recognizes
the Old Dominion doctrine of the
right Of the people to instruct their
representatives to the fullest extent
to which 1t has ever been carried in
North Carolina that he holds that
the will of the people, clearly and
unequivocally expressed, must be
obeYed, unless compliance would in
volve the representative in moral
wrong, in which case Ii weuid be the
duty OF the representative to resign.
Good faith in the observance of in
structions and public pledges is ab-
solutely essential TO government bas-
ed On the popular will. Commenting
on the correspondence the Progress
iUe Farmer, which is the accredited
organ of the Farmers alliance, says
that this settles the contest for sena-
tor ; that Senator Vance will be in
stSucted and then reelected.

A Glorious Country.

Helen Hunt Jackson used to say
that we Americans took our pleasures
sadly. Rejecting on the manifold
discomforts of railway travel twenty
years ago, one does not wonder that
We were sadest when we travelled.
Ne such objection is now heard from
the thousands of tourists on the origi-
nal overland road, the Union Pacific,
where every detail for the comfort of
travellers has been supplied to the ut
most. The California trip of this win
ter is one of the most charming in
America. The Union and Southern
Pacific railroads have made vast i'm
provements upon the line via Ogden,
and the journey now to San Francisco
is accomplished with the greatest
possible ease and comfort, without the
delay formerly incident to winter
travel.

Selling Out Farmers.

Ahe hahsaS FdTDleT tells som,
things about the condition of The ao
ricultural class in that state that ar.
not generally known, and which
shows that the farmers movement
did not come any too soon. The
Greenwood County Republican of {
recent date contains thirty two ad.
vertisements of farms to be sold b,
the sheriff. This tells a distressing
story, certainly, but there is more
and worse to come. The Topeka
Cap'tat showed recently by official
reports that Kansas farms are BEING
sold out under mortgage, by the
courts, at the rate of $500 a year.
This is an average of forty-six for
every county in the state so that
closing out farmers under mortgage
would appear to be the llveliest busi-
Iness In Kansas at this time. And
even this is not the worst, for, we
learn:
"a syndicate with a capital of
$40, 100000 has been formed with
headquarters at Topeka, for The pur
pose of getting under one owner
ship and one control all the Western
farms which are fast going into the
hands of loan agents and money
lenders
The loan agents and money-lend-
ers represent Northeastern capital
lists, the money loaned on Kansas
farms-probably s150,O00, 900 In
amounts Northeastern money the
100000 mortgages on Kansas farms
are held in the Northeast; and it is
probable this $40, 100000 syndicate
that is preparing to take possession
of the tiers of farms whose owners
are being sold out, will be composed
or Northeastern capitalists, with
Northeastern money behind them.
The Farmer says: ''The register
of deeds of one of the Southwestern
counties told the writer hereof a few
weeks ago that his office work then
consisted chiefly in recording deeds
of farms voluntarily transferred by
their owners to the holders of the
mortgages"
And yet Republican congress
and Republican administration de-
clare that these hard pressed Kansas
farmers, whose homes are being sold
out at the rate of $500 a year, must
be taxed to protect the prosperous,
favored manufacturers of the very
section that has so many surplus
to loan out on Kansas farm
mortgages.
The plain truth is that the present
distressed condition of Kansas farm
ers is the product of 29 years of the
protective policy. That
policy has bled the farmers till there
Is no more blood left in them, and
now, they are being forced to move
off to make room for q syndicate
plan of farming under the control of
Northeastern capitalists.
