There seems to be no end to the
discoveries that await us concerning
bacteria. and the relations Of those
microscopic organisms to the we'll
being OF man. Who would ever have
thought that the peculiar flavora
which characterize different kinds OF
brands of tobacco are due to the pres
ence Of bacterial: Yet that Is the
conclusion to which recent investiga-
tiOns by a German botanist lead.
In cur ny tobacco, or preparing the
raw, green leaf for use, a Preventative
process called sweating isgone through
with.
1t has been supposed that the chem
ical changes induced by this process
were the source OF the peculiar quail
ties possessed by the cured tobacco,
But according to Suchsland's expert
ments it appears that m,cro-organ.
isms may be the real cause Of the
changes.
He has examined tobacco, which
had Leen cured, from all parts Of the
world, and has found In 1t an album
dance Of micr0-organisms and upon
c~ultivating the bacteria from q PAR
ticular kind OF tobacco, and then in
~Oculating another kind with this cul-
turc, he has produced In It the taste
and aroma OF the original.
This discovery has led to the sue-
Restion that the quality Of tobacco
grown In any country may be Inn
proved by s imply inoculating it with
bacteria from some tner.favored Leaf
growing elsewhere. Wines have a.
ready been improved BY : similar
process

FYOu Want The Best

ALTHOUGH you may have had good luck
~ with but few failures in making cake and
biscuit in the old-fashioned way with soda and
sour milk, or soda and cream of tartar, you
will have better luck and following directions)
no failures with the Royal Baking Powder.
The truth of this must be evident when you
remember that in the leading hotels and res
t~aurants, and in the homes of our city cousins.
where the latest and best methods are invari.
ably employed, and where the most beautiful
and dainty food is always set out for the guests.
the Royal Baking Powder is exclusively used
for all quickly risen food.
Royal Baking Powder never %disappoints:
never makes sour, soggy or husky food; never
spoils good materials; never leaves Jumps of
alkali in the biscuit or cake; while all these
things do happen with the best of cooks who
cling to the old-fashioned methods, or who use
other Baking Powders.
If you want the best food, Royal Baking
Powder is indispensable.

his past performances. The forccs

the forces that elected him in 1884.
The Democratic party Is probably the
most selfish ard corrupt political Or
~ganizatlon that ever attained power
In . constitutional government.
With q few honorable exceptions, its
leadership il made up Of men who are
utterly destitute OF patriotism and
whose chief object Is to secure pos
session OF the official spells. The
membership OF the Democracy com
prises the most vicious, ignorant, and
un-American elements OF the body
polite. Such a party, headed by
such leaders, will demand the most
thorough application OF the spolls
system; and they will be pretty c r
tain to get what they demand.
1t would be ridiculou, to place any
dependence on the declarations of
those noisy pretenders to superior
virtue, the mugwumps. Mu,wump
cry consists only OF the profession OF
dislnterestedness, never in its prac-

the Democratic machine cannot sur
pass the mugwumps In their insist

Grover Cleveland, like tha first, will
be an administration OF spoilsmcn

lsxDorts and Imports.

The American Economist calls at.
tention to the fact that the imports
OF goods to all United States PORTS
were In excess of exports to the ex.
tent OF si6, LA, 664 during JAN
uary OF the present year. 1t
IL several years since the balance
OF trade stood thus. In January,
1892, the excess OF exports over i'm
ports was @37,4l8, 1856. That is to
say, In January OF last year the
month's trade between the United
states and the rest Of the world
made this country a creditor to the
extent OF s37,4l8, 786, but the trade
for January OF the present year leaves
IL q debtor to the extent OF &16, IA,
664. The difference between receiv-
Ing nearly thirty-scven and a half
millions for things sold by the United
States to foreign countries and pay
ing more than sixteen millions for
goods bought by the United States
from foreign Countries Is very consid-
cradle, and 1t is a difference tn 1T is
sure to affect domestic trade aud
commerce.
It Is too early to Judge the perma-
nent effect OF Democratic policy on
business, but that the anticipation OF
tariff changes Is tending toward un-
settled conditions Is not deniable.
Meanwhile, though nearly all food
products are unusually high, there Is
no sign Of any such reduction In
manufactured goods as the Democrats
promised as Q result OF their return
to power. 1t will not be strange II
the cost Of living during the year
1893 be found largely In OK .ess Of
thst during 1891 and 1892, though a
corresponding raise In the wages Of
labor does not seem probable.
