THE STRONGEST AND PUREST.

The Official Report Ofthe Minnesota
Dairy and Food Commissioners
Shows the Royal Baking Powder
the Best in the State.
st. Paul, Minn., Pioneer Press: The
last report OF the Minnesota state food
and dairy commission contains tie de-
tails of the state cheulsts' experiments
and analysis to deteEnine the strength
and keeping qualities of the various
baking powders. Samples Of the numer-
GUS brands On sale in this state were pur-
chased and first analyzed to ascertain
their leavening power. The Royal bak-
ing powder is shown by the tests OF both
state analysts, Prof. Eberman and Prof
Drew, to contain the greatest amount of
leavening gas Of the cream of tartar
powders thus purchased aud tested.
Hence this powder is officially ranked at
the head of the list.
The report attaches great Importance
to series of experiments made to ascer-
tam the character, efficiency and keeping
qualities Of the powders. Baking pow
ders that vary in strength or that readily
lose strength before use, are unreliable and
will net give even results; besides it is an
indication of the use in their compound
ing of improper ingredients. These tests
were applied to a large number of sam
pies of different ages of the three cream
of tartar powders best known in Mime
sofa. They showed the strength or
leavening power of the Royal very much
greater than that OF the others. The
uniformity of strength OF all the samples
of Royal tested was remarkable. Its
leavening power was practically unlm.
pared even in the oldest specimens. The
difference in the amount of leavening
gas in different samples of both the other
brands was SO great as to seriously inn
pair their usefulness in baking. As
much as "a per cent. loss was found in
few months old. All the sam
Piles Of Royal examined by DR.. Drew
were reported Of satisfactory strength
and quality.

Press Pulplt.-.Shipping Grain.


LaMoura Chronicle: The value of the
privilege Of shipping wheat is being ex-
perienced every day by LaMoure county
farmers; and the Northern Padific road,
by it's liberal policy this year, is making
itself friends all along the line. Ele-
vators must buy on a margin, but that is
no reason why the producer should sell
to them if he don't want to-and there is
money in not doing so when farmer
can fill car in reasonable time. We
daily hear of instances of much saving
by Shipment.
Valley City Times'Record: The erec-
tlon OF loading platform at Elliott has
placed hundreds OF dollars IN the pockets
Of the farmers of that vicinity. Before
the platform was talked of the elevator
men wanted to dock the wheat two
pounds to the bushel, but the platform
brought them TO time, for rather than let
tue farmers ship their wheat they bought
1t at one-half pound dcckage.
Fargo Argus: Hon. George H. Walsh
returned last evening from Bottineau.
He says Willow City pays better prices
for wheat than Bottineau on account OF
a farmers warehouse there. The eleva-
tors at Bottineau are doing better than
before on grades.

Too Much Politics.

That is what is the matter with
the people, or, rather, too much
partisanship. There is much more
politics in the country among the
people than there is at the official CEN
ters among the politicians Go to
Washington during session of con-
gress, or to any of our state capitals
during session of the legislature, and
you will see the men that abused each
other before the people, each making
it appear that the other was the
most dangerous character that
could be put in office-see them at
the capitals and you find them arm
in arm, hail fellows we'll met, chums
and brothers. Go to Ohio and see both
and democrats rallying to
the support of John Sherman to secure
his reelection to the United States SEN
ate in the interest of the money power:
Go to Kansas and see democrats and
joining in conventions and
nominating joint tickets, fusion tickets,
to defeat the people. If the leading
politicians can do this, why need farm
ers fall out and fight on the question
of party? Farmers allow themselves
to put too much faith in party, when
really there is very little difference in
the parties so far as the interests Of
the farmers are concerned-Mt. YER

In Kansas the democratic party and

That is sly game that Secretary
Foster is playing. The terrible fact of
our financial condition has been forced
on Wall street, and the men who do
the work for the American bank

issue money to move the crops
in treasury notes (greenbacks) and
not let the alliance know that he
had to tumble to their demands! And
he did it. Western farmer, did you no.

you were paid for that wheat? Did you

All, that means that inasmuch as the
plutocratic dynasty at Wall street had
said this to his poodle at Washington:
Gas you now put thirty million dollars
into the hands of the national bankers
to loan at will, without a solitary cent
of interest outside and independent of
the bank currency, why not issue treas
ury notes for this money to move the
crops with and thus steal march on
the howlers! And Foster did it
But why did the bankers consent to
this-was it not directly in line with
our own demands? Yes, but the plutes
were compelled to dot! Why? Simply
because there was such danger of a

our most sanguine hopes. While the
returns are not yet all in from Kansas,
Nebraska and South Dakota, we know
largely increased percentage over last
year of the total vote.
Last year there were three tickets in
the field in Kansas for state officers.
Taking the head of the ticket for a
basis, the peoples party cast thirty
nine per cent. of the total vote. In a
great majority of the counties last year
the democrats voted with the peoples
party for county officers. This year,
with the exception of few counties,
the democrats as party voted with
the republicans
The peoples party stood alone and
made a square fight for principle. It
carried many counties com pletely, and
in many others divided honors with the
fusionists We know at the present
writing that the peoples party have
elected from one-third to one-half of
the county officers in spitesof the fusion
of the two old parties, and have elected
two circuit judges to seven for the
fusionists.
In many counties where the fusion
lists elected every man the maiorities
were very small and a comparison of
votes shows that the peoples party
were able alone to cast from As to al
most so per cent of the total vote. In
less than ten counties of the state, all
republican strongholds, do the peoples
49, ~ <ho~ -
total vote. In Wyandotte county, one
of the most populous counties of the
state, the peoples party increase their
vote nearly 800 per cent.
The average vote of all the counties
in the state will show that in but q
very small percentage of the counties
did the peoples party cast less than As
per cent of the total vote, in many
counties it cast over 50 per cent. Of the
vote and in some cases go to 70 per cent.
Summing up for Kansas we find that
the peoples party has not only held its
own but has increased it's vote from
seven to ten per cent more of the total
vote of the state. It is entirely safe to
say that the peoples party in Kansas
this year has cast AZ per cent of the
total vote as against 80 per cent last
year. Next year the two old parties
cannot fuse in Kansas, and the peoples
party holding it's own as it has for the
past year will cast large plurality
over both old parties.
In Nebraska the result has been
more surprising still We don't know
for certain yet who has been elected
supreme court judge, but the majority
is very small either way. Last year
there were three tickets in the field for
state officers, and each party polled
about SO per cent of the total vote.
This year the democrats put no ticket
in the field and the democratic leaders
did all in their power to help elect the
republicans. The results show that
the peoples party cast but very small
fraction if any less than so per cent of
the total vote, or a gain of II per cent
in a single year.
In South Dakota the returns are
very meager, but enough is known to
warrant the statement that in spite Of
the small vote cast by the farmers, the
peoples party cast much larger per-
centage Of the total vote than last year.
In Iowa the peoples party vote Is in
creased from 800 to 400 per cent over
