Preparations for the coming in
auguration are attracting more
attention in Washington at present
than anything else. All the com
mittees have been appointed and are
actively at work and very brilliant
affair is promised. The great hall of
the Pension Office will, rs usual, be
utilized for the inaugural ball,
arrangements to that effect having
been completed. In this connection
it is interesting to note that the latest
revised figures give Cleveland 276
electoral votes, Harrison IA, and

A number of members of Congress
who are anxious to keep on the right
side of President-elect Cleveland
without offending their constituents at
home are 'sbetween the devil and the
deep sea. F." There are not few of
these perturbed representatives in the
House just now, and the silver
question is the disturbing element
Mr.. Cleveland, it is said, wants the
Sherman law repealed, and lot of
hungry Congressman want patronage
but the watchful constituents at home
in many cases do not want the
Sherman law repealed, and the Con-
gresham need their votes. In con-
sequence Of this unpleasant dilemma
some OF the members are trying to
ride two horses at the same time.

There is to-day in the Navy Depart
ment position that has been occupied
by only three men since the formation
of the government. The first was a
Frenchman, who died or resigned
some time prior to 1929 The man
who succeeded him was German,
who, whatever might have been his
qualifications when appointed,
gradually developed a decided
disinclination to work, and after he
had been IN Office for twenty years or
more showed such total indifference
To any duties that might pertain TO
his position that he made his
appearance only on pay day, and was
regularly lost to sight save on the re-
currence of these interesting
occasions In 1916 some one in
authority in spasm of virtue, dis
missed this "salary grabber, and his
successor, the present incumbent,
now very old man, was appointed.
With the building Of the new navy
the duties of the position began to
increase, and the present occupant,
who dates his appointment back SO
many years, finds his place no longer
the sinecure it IVES for nearly two
score easy-going years.

Whatever may be the intention of
the author of the bill which has been
introduced in the Senate, prohibiting
the assemblage of ten or more men,
bearing arms, for the purpose of drill
ing, unless they are called together by
militia or civil officer, it is bad bill,
and is, we believe, unconstitutional,
inasmuch as it would abridge the
right of the citizen TO own and bear
arms. If enacted into q law this bill
would disband every Independent
military organization, and would
compel such civic organizations as
the Knight Templars, Knights OF
Pythias, ETC., to discard their swords.

As the time approaches for the
induction of the new administration
the demand for tile official sBlue
Book (the register Of all government
employees and their salaries) grows
unprecedentedly heavy, and each sue
ceeding day indicates that it has
become one of the most popular
publications. in existence. 1t is
scarcely necessary TO explain that the
growing demand for this interesting
book comes from those persons in all
eections of the country who are
ambitious and anxious to become
office holders under the new political
regime. The uncertainty regarding
Mr.. Clevelands Intentions in the
matter of cutting Off the heads of
those now in Office affords occasion for
a large amount OF speculation and
many persons are indulging in this to
their own satisfaction. Hope springs
eternal in the breast of the place
seeker, and he is just now studying
the Blue Book with more devoted
interest than he ever evinced in his
Bible or his prayer book.
The large majority of these office
hunters, it is safe to assert, will suffer
the keenest disappointment. In every
change of administration since the
foundation of the government the
changes in the persons Of the employees
have been very much fewer than the
number of the applicants for places.
In the majority of cases efficiency has
determined the length of service.
Again, influence has retained fair
proportion of clerks, and many places
have been continued to the in
crmbents because their obscurity or
lack of importance has protected them
from the searching gaze of the office
seeker.

THE ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE.
Looking After the Alum and Am
monia Baking Powders.
Chicago interOceGn.

A bill for an act, entitled IAN Act to
Regulate the Traffic in Baking Pow
DER" has been introduced in the Leg
islature at Springfield, by Mr.. Nohe.
The bill is intended to prevent the
authorizations of baking powders with
Ammonia or Alum, imposing proper
penalties to enforce the law, etc.
This shows an earnest desire on the
part of our representatives to protect
their constituents.
The Chicago Tribune, referring to
the question OF legislation on Alum and
Ammonia baking powders says: 1T
deals in a direct manner with an evil
that must be cut down"
Following is 4 partial list of the
names of the brands sold in this State
that have been examined and found to
contain either Ammonia or Alum.
Many of the Alum and Ammonia pow
ders are Tabled and advertised as ALSO
lutely pure to mislead the public.

go Yeast" Grants Bon Bon" Hotel"
..Taylors One Spoon" ''Snow Puff

max" Town Talk" Manhattan"
Rocket Evans" Little Giant"
..Spot Cash. Echo" Empire"
s.Dodson & His" s.Shepard's s.
.sBain's," .sKenton, X. c." Loyal"
In addition to the above list there is
q multitude of brands sold with
prize. 1t is safe to reject all baking
powders sold with a prize, as the tests
show they are composed largely of
alum and cost but few cents per
pound. Also refuse any baking pow
der sold at twenty-five cents pound,
or less: it is sure to contain Alum.
Suraly nothing but their cheapness
could induce the public to experiment
with these impure powders at the risk
of health. Aside from the question of
health or the wholesomeness of these
condemned powders. aud viewed from
the standpoint of economy alone,

ton OF the road bed, became frequent
and harsh; INCREASINGLY were questions
Piled to the minor officials as to who
was responsible for such a state of af-

ant interrogations OF their new chief;
this was especially the case with one of
them. and as he began TO move around

showing the blame en- the other m o.,
who, however, preserved d studied
silence This was continued for some
time; the chief still complaining, the
one m. o. putting the responsibility on
the other At last the latter's patience
gave away. and jus. about the time the
train reached Ironton. he declared to
the other M o. .sby Cd, I'll throw
you out this window; stop this d-n
train, and FL get OF right herer' At
this moment Mr. Peck interfered and
said, Never mind, gentlemen, if you
have not had the money necessary 10
keep this road in good shape. you are
not to blamei l propose to furnish you
all the money and supplies you want,
and then well see what you can do"
This quoted the disturbance between

longer the friends that they used to
be, and in future their relations will
be brief and formal.
