PURE room IN CONGRESS.
Action which has Resulted In the
official Determination of the
Rest Baking Powder.


The act of congress authorizing the ex-
animation of the baking powders has
resulted in most Unprecedented oompli-
ment to the Royal Baking Powder. The
tests were made in the Government Labra-
tory at Washington, and the ofaciaI report
shows that the Royal is superior to all
others in leavenlng strengthening over
thirty per cent. above the average. The re-
port also shows the purity of the Royal
Powder and the wholesomeness of its in
gradients.
This is probably the highest compliment
of an official character ever paid to pro-
prietary article, though no more than a
great army of baking powder consumers
would expect in behalf of their old friend
and favorite.
The result of the official examination, as
thus determined, will, of course, make the
"ROyal" the standard for Government pur-
chases,

sin regiment fought the rebels side by side
with a Kentucky regiment. Lieutenant d.
@. Rousseau, of one of the bluegrass com.
panies, was shot down early in the fight
When l came upon him the blood was
squirting out Of a great jagged hole in his
right side and he was unconscious from the
shock of the bullet. Liberal potations of
good old Kentucky bourbon soon brought
him to his senses, and when he discovered
the nature Of his wound he realized he was
doomed beyond all the power fman to save
him. He begun to make preparations to die.
He was a single man and brother of the
famous General Lovel H. Rosseau, of
whom he was very proud. Colonel gasped

The st. Paul Globe in speaking of
the Massachusetts state convention
OF the peoples party; says:
''That state would not be expected
togive much countenance to the ideas
OF the peoples party, yet at it's con-
vention was appointed full dele
cation, for every district, to the
Omaha convention for July 4th.
Among the delegates are some of the
literary men of note and advanced
thinkers of the times, such as Ed
ward Everett Hale and Edward
Bellamy. 1t is probable that the
new party will have a national
gathering that will not only be great
in numbers, but contain a vast
amount OF exceedingly active brain
force. Regret deepens that Don
nelly did not insist upon bringing
it to this city"
No, excuse us. There would be no
incentive for the leaders of the peo-
Piles party to bring the National
Convention to st. Paul, for the
Pluto Demo Republicratic press to
make faces at, and besides, the peo-
Piles party don't need the help of
the national convention to enable
them to carry the state in November.

Congressman BYnum OF Indiana,
in speaking to the democrats OF
Georgia recently, said in effect that
it was quite enough to discourage
the democracy all over the land to
see their men wavering in line and
falling off-into the alliance ranks.
He told them that free silver would
not make times any easier-although
he passed at first as a free coinage
man. He said that free coinage was
not matter of principle-only a
matter OF policy; that the loaning
money at the lowest rates of interest
would not remove single debt,
that this can only be done by the
results OF toll. That is to say, the
farmers and laborers can have the
toll, the money sharks and gamb-
lers, and the railroads can have the
results.

The Piratical p. p.

The following excerpt from the
Sleepy.eye Herald, may be taken as
fair index to the sentiment Of the
reform press throughout the state up
on the notorious wheat article in the
piratical Pioneer-Press of the 9th
inst:
"The Pioneer Press, published at
St. Paul, Minnesota, q. s. A. by
Messrs. Wheelock & Driscoll, has de-
veloped into one of the most despised
of CALAMITY HOWLERS' in I'm
Gle Sans domain. Great Scot! but
didn't that six-column editorial in
last Saturdays issue make 'em
squirm! Poor despised Doc. Fish, in
that horrible paper called the GREAT
WEST, from week to week published
the very same disclosures and facts,
but it was all condemned as a pack
OF lies, and now the greatest paper in
the state, for years recognized as the
mouth piece of organized capital,
comes out and tells these mighty
truths. What of it! The wheat gam
blers are dumb. From 10 to 20 cents
per bushel stolen right out of the
pockets OF every producer of wheat.
Comment is unnecessary. Hereafter
do not condemn a reform paper be-
fore you have investigated for your
SELF"
Many other articles of like import
that have appeared in the local re-
form press might be quoted, but the
foregoing will suffice. The reform
papers know, and they have rec
ognized the absolute truth and
the far-reaching Importance of the
revelations of fraud in the grain
trade which have been published by
the GREAT WEST during the past two
years for the information and hope
OF the producer. So have the old
party sheets known that in those
articles, facts were for the first time
brought into the light OF day from
the dark and hidden recesses of con-
spiracy and fraud-facts accompanied
by irrefutable proof-which showed
beyond the possibility of doubt,
robbery of from 20 to 35c on every
bushel of wheat sold by the farmers
of the northwest. Still were they as
mum as oysters,-or else heaped
abuse upon our devoted head-untH
the great mogul sheet OF plutocracy
and suppression opened up vein
and gave the lesser lights lead,
and now they see something is
wrong, but don't know what. If they
will read the coming articles in the
GREAT WEST, they may have the film
removed from their vision.

FOOD AND DAIRY COMMISSION
Two Essentials for Baking Powder that
Will Make Perfect Bread.

Two Essentials for Baking Powder that
Will Make Perfect Bread.
The late report of the Minnesota
State Food and Dairy Commission
contains the result of q series of
experiments made by Prof. C. w.
Drew, State Chemist, to determine
the strength and keeping qualities
of the various baking powders.
The report attaches great impor-
tance to these experiments. Baking
powders that vary in strength, or
that readily lose strength before use,
are unreliable and will not give even
results; besides, it is an indication
OF the Use OF improper ingredients in
in their compromising. The tests
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, no matter
what their age, was remarkable.
It's leavening power was practically
unimpaired even in the oldest speci-
mems. The difference in the amount
OF leavening gas in different samples
of the other brands was so great
as to seriously impair their useful
ness in baking. AS much as "a per
cent loss was found in samples a few
months old. All the samples of
Royal examined by State Chemist
Drew were reported Of satisfactory
strength and quality.
DR.. Drew states that the "Royal'
being of greater strength than any
other, and possessing better keeping
qualities, it is the natural conclusion
that it is the best baking powder
made.
