AN OLD PA1KIoI-vETERAN.

Among the many gentlemen in the city
yesterday, from all sections of the state,
attending the postmasters' convention,
was that old war veteran Captain Robert
Henderson OF Junction City, whose stur-
diness and patriotic valor is only exceeded
by his good sense, If at all. Captain Hen
derson, who had been taking in the city
under the guidance OF Major Owen, and
with whom he had served four years in
the army. made the EAGLE a brief but
pleasant call. When the stage Of state
politics was reached the captain referred
il warm and euloglstic terms to Hon.
John X Wright. h.s fellow towusman, a.
his candidate aud in whose support June
t;ou City and that district would gladly
Jet proudly rally. The EAGLE agrees with
the captain that John n Wright has been
tried and tested for thirty years and never
found wanting, and that ne would not fail

CONGRESS
At Last Takes Action.

a bill has been introduced at Washing
ton requiring all baking powders contain
ing alum and ammonia to be so labeled.
This is Il step in the right direction, and
has been long foreshadowed by the action
of state legislatures, boards of health,
food commissioners, etc, in this matter.
The bill affords needed protection to the
public, for the evidence as to the injurious
effects of alum and ammonia is very
heavy; but it will nevertheless be fought
bitterly by the manufacturers whom it
effects who are accustomed to sell their
goods as pure Cream of Tarter "abso-
lutely pure etc.
The bill is something needed. If a
maker uses a drug in his powder, the name
of which he does not want to have printed
on his liable, it is prima facie evidence that
there is something wrong. We hope the
subject will be vigorously prosecuted all
over the country, nos only rs regards bsk
iEg powder, but also all other food adulter-
atlOus
This bill may incidentally benefit the
makers of pure articles, but if it should
this is only an additional DO ut in It's favor
