THE ILLINOIS LEGISLA-
TURF.
Looking After the Alum and
Ammonia Baking Powders.
Chicaao Inter. Ocean.

A bill for an act. entitled IAN Act to
Regulate the Traffic in Baking Powder. !"
has been introduced in the Legislature
at Springfield, by Mr.. Nohe. The bill
is intended to prevent the authorizations
of Baking Powders with Ammonia and
Alum, imposing proper penalties to en-.
force the law. etc. This shows an
earnest desire on the part of our Repre-
sentstives to protect their constituents.
The Chicago Tribune, referring to
the question of legislation on Alum and
Ammonia Baking Powders, says; 1T
deals in direct manner with an evil
that must be cut down"
Following is 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 labeled and advertised as alb
solutely pure to mislead the public.
Calumet, Forest City" Chicago
Yeast, Grants Bon Bon "Hotel,
"Snow Ball. " "Zipp's Crystal y mon
arch" Western Prince Echo,
Perfection, White Rose" DAISY"
"Hatchet. Yankee" Grand Union"
Electric Light, Standard.
In addition to the above list there is
multitude of brands sold with Prize.
1t is safe TO reject all baking powders
sold with prize, as the tests show they
are composed largely of alum and cost
but few cents per pound. Also refuse
any baking powder sold at twenty-five
cents pound, or less; it is sure to
contain Alum.
Surely nothing bpt 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, and viewed from
the standpoint of economy alone, pure
cream of tartar baking powder like
DIR. Prices, from its greater known
strength and unquestioned purity, will
prove more economical to the user in
every way.

Washington Letter.
(From our Regular Correspondent
WaSbiuotor, limo % 1905

" ashlngtou, June 70, 1898,
Mr. Cleveland, according to demo-
cratic authority, is about to duplicate
his unconstitutional action in sending
my personal agent to Hawaii by APP
pointing personal agent to take
charge of the Government printing
Office and reorganize its entire working
force aud another name for
dismissing the republican employees.
His reason is stated to be that be wishes
this reorganization to be made by a
man who will feel no responsibility to
Congressman or Congress. The per-
sonal agent who is to have all the
powers of the Public Printer without
any of bis responsibility will have no
excuse or warrant of law for existing;
only the viii Of Mr.. Cleveland, which
appears to be rapidly taking the place
of the law and the constitution. Con-
grtss in its wisdom enacted law COM
pelling the Public Printer to give bond
of 500, 000--the largest with one ex-
ception given by any United States
ofiicial-for the faithful performance of
his responsible duties. This law will
be ignored if Mr.. Cleveland's personal
agent is given all the authority of the
Public Printer and not required TO give
the same bond. The resignation of the
present Public Printer, Mr.. Palmer, has
been at Mr.. ClevGland's disposal for
months His term expired more than
a month ago.
There are number of democrats at
present in Washington, including
several Congressman. who are in open
rebellion against SO much ofthe Chicago
democratic platform as declared pro-
lection to be unconstitutional These
democrats not only believe protection
TO oe constitutional, but that it is abso-
iutoly essential to the preservation of
industries already we'll established in
the United States, not 10 mention new
ones. They are citizens Of Louisiana
engaged in sugar.planting and they are
here to Impress upon MIR. Cleveland.
Secretary Carlisle and other democrats
who are to have hand in preparing
tho new tariff bill the necessity for
putting tariff of | J or cents pound
upon foreign sugar, if the present
bounty upon domestic sugar is to be
abolished. From the above it will be
seen that there will be democrats fight
ing for protection, as well as democrats
lighting for free trade when Congress
takes up the tariff question.

1T seems thai farmers are getting
about three cents per pound less for
their wool this season than they did last
year. Under the no policy of the pres
ent administration and its avowed
doctrines, the business of the country
feels that it must 60 cautiously ard be
prepared for emergencies. In the
meantime the wool growers are losing
their little three cents per pound right
along. 1t is not really so funny as it
may seem.

THE Republicans when in office made
moves without mistakes but this does
not seem to be the case with the last
democratic legislature or the present
democratic administration. Things
seem to get all tangled up in their
hands and this is especially the case
with the new road law. They are
simply set Of blunderers and nearly
every act OF theirs tends to build up
repubicauism and protection. Democ-
racy promises well but is horrible in its
