Wolxe. In China.


The plague Of wolves in Shen-See, a
mountainous province Of north central
China, is described as becoming more
and more alarming. A correspondent
In that part writes that in the village in
which he Is sojourning they had heard
OF II persons being carried off by these
animals in seven days. Most of the vic.
tins were children, the rest young per.
sons Of 10. 10 and 20 yearsof age. sThey

stirring themselves, going out in large
numbers to hunt them. as yet, however.
unsuccessfully. Tonight we have put
poisoned mutton In two places not far
of, hoping to find at least one dead wolf
tomorrow. They roam in open daylight,
boldly entering villages and carrying of
helpless little ones. Three went in com.
pany few days ago into a native vii
lage. One Of the number entered a hut
and snatched little child from his IA

been futile. 1t seems this Is their breed

THE REPUBLICS "cRow.n

"Ths Herald took the wrong side OF the
issue at the last election, as usual. 1t
should now cease catering to the wishes
Of two or three sbelved politicians, and
get into line with the peopis-among
whom, by the way, there are several
young men,"
The above from the Republic Is on q
par with its usual slip-shod manner OF
statement. The HERALD did not feel
called upon to take any stand whatever
with regard to municipal Offices. There
were two good tickets in the field, the
success Of either Of which, gave promise
Of proving to the interest Of the city. The
only part The HERALD took in the con-
test was against reorganization and in
this II was successful. What stand the
Republic took with regard to the candid
ates we do not know and care less, but
the young editor of that paper, who now
tries to convey the impression that the
success Of the winning ticket was largely
due to his efforts, openly and repeat
eddy stated that his preference was, and
his vote would be for Mr.. Chapman. Ii
in the eleventh hour some influence was
brought to bear to cause him to 20 back
on his voluntary pledge, and change his
vote to the winning side, there is little
justification for Grow" other than in a
astronomical sense.

the splash he made frightened IL away

McDermott suffered nothing from his

committee of the former body. which
has unanimously conferred its silver
medal upon Thomas McDermott. who is

OK THE 23d OF May there win be held
at Ocala, Florida, q joint conference oil
negroes and white men to consider the
race question. The former will be repre-
sented BY preachers. editors and teachers.
and among the latter will be some Of the
leading officials and prominent men oil
the state. A list OF forty subjects for
discussion has been published, including
education, race, economy, negro emigra-
ton, agriculture, etc. They might add
to this discussion Of the reasons why q
negro few days ago was taken from his
home by a party Of white men and
lynched because they believed he had
been stealing and had set fire to barn.
On the whole, such convention as This
should have good educational effect,
just az did the meeting of the governors
at Richmond. The latter met to dis
cover why immigration did not seek the
South, and soon came to the conclusion
that they knew the reason before they
left home, and some Of them, at least,
returned with their eyes more widely
open and determination to endeavor to
remove It.

All reports 60 to bring confirmation to
the claim that nothing is now ready in
Chicago but the fellow who wants to tar

delay those who were intending to visit

fear Of failure Of the great show, will
cause these greedy brigands to be content
with share Of the worlds wealth some
what less than its entirety. The intend
ing visitor will end that he looses nothing

The affirmation Of the Monroe doctrine
by the republican league in session las,
week, was evidently meant as drive at
President Cleveland's action in ordering
the flag down at Honolulu. The Monroe
doctrine, however. never contemplated
the selzing of other peoples property
without some show Of fairness. 1t is
quite likely that the president will see to
it that no other power shall possess the
islands, but he does not propose that the
United States shall intimidate the Haw-
aiians into afiiliating with US. The ef-
fort Of the league was far fetched and
stupid, and it is no wonder that there
are uaconcealed lamentations that none
OF the party leaders were present.

Stanford University's Horn.

Next month when the Palo Altos play
of their tie with the Berkeley students
In a match game Of football there will
be trouble in store for the quiet citizens
Of this burg.
They will be awakened by noises more
unearthly and more uncanny than any
they ever heard before.
A local firm has contract on hand to
construct monster horn, not an ordi-
nary horn blown by mortal beings and
making the midnight hours hideous,
but a horn worked by steam blower.
made of galvanized iron. 80 feet long
and 10 feet in diameter
The Stanford boys are going to have
this monster horn. and they are now
preparing a petition to the governor to
have the militia detailed to protect it
from the wiles and Vaccinations Of the
Berkleyites.
The coming noisemaker will have two
valves, 32-horsepower boiler and will
cost $500 when built.
There are 600 enthusiastic students
pledged to devote $3.50 each toward the
building fund required to construct that
giant horn, and when it is completed it
will be hauled on one of the big trucks
which transport large coils of cable for
street railways to the playing park
San Francisco Call.

Revival of English In the Colleges.

From the new Yale catalogue 1t ap-
pears that the authorities there have
awakened to the need of greater atten-
ton to the study Of English. Beginning
with 1894 the entrance examinations are
to include papers upon certain pieces Of
English literature, selected as well for
their probable attractiveness to the
preparatory student as for their intrinsic
Importance" The questions are to be
constructed with the special view of test
ing the candidates familiarity with the
subject matter, but weight is to be given
to the literary forms of the papers Of
fered by the applicants. Already in
struction in English has been extended
to the freshman class. This is a field
that has been too long neglected. and
those who have had anything to do with
the English of students know with what
sad results. Boston Journal.

rHE Minnesota LEGISLATURE.
Lesking After the Alum and Am.
menia Baking Powders
strictly.

Portland 0rsgonian: A bill for an nc,
in relation to the manufacture and sale
Of baking powders, to prevent fraud and
preserve the public health. has been in
troduced in the legislature at st. Paul.
The bill is intended to prevent the adul.
teration OF baking powders with alum OF
ammonia, imposing proper penalties to
enforce the law.
DR.. o. s. Binswanger. Professor Chem.
istry, etc., medical department Univer-
ssty Of Oregon, made an examination
some time ago Of the baking powders
found in the Portland stores. the result
Of which appeared in the Otgonian. DR..
Binswanger then expressed himself as
follows:
81 have just finished an analysis Of the
principal baking powders sold in this
market, with the following starteling
results.
Hercules" This powder contains
ammonia.
Crystal" This powder contains
alum.
Double Quick" This powder con-
tains alum.
"Silver Star" This powder contains
alum.
white lily" This powder contains
alum.
"Dr. Prices Cream Baking Powder. 4"
This Is a pure cream OF tartar powder
and contains neither alum nor ammonia.
1t will be observed that DR.. Prices was
found by DR.. Binswanger to be a pure
cream Of tartar baking powder and the
only brand free from alum, ammonia or
any mpurity.
Following is list OF the more widely
known brands that DR.. Drew, chemist
for the Minnesota State Dairy and Food
Commission, as well as other chemists of
high standing, have examined and found
to contain alum, some of which contain
both alum aud amonia. Many of the
alum and ammonia powders are labeled
and advertised as absolutely pure" to
mislead the public. The condemned
powders given in this list are sold pretty
generally through Oregon and Washing
ton:
Calumet" Forest City," "Grant's
Bon Bon" Hotel" Globe" Puritan -
"Snow Ball, Government" Palace u
"Loyal," Columbia" Home" "Mon-
arch," Unrivaled," Chicago YEAST
"Echo," Perfection" white Rose"
"Hatchet, Grown"
In addition to above list, there are
many brands sold with a 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 a
few cents pound. Also refuse an y
baking powder sold for 70 cents pound
or less il is sure to contain alum.
Surely nothing but the cheapness could
induce the public to experiment with
these impure powders at the risk Of health.
Aside from the question of the health or
wholesomeness OF these condemned pow
ders, and viewed from the standpoint OF
economy alone, pure cream of tartar
baking powder, such as DR.. Binswanger
and other high authorities report DR..
Prices to be, from its greater known
strength and unquestioned purity, should
prove more economical to the user in
every way.

A FOOL BUGAB0O.

Speaking Of an alleged eight against Mr..
John Reed for the council, the Republic
says: an this connection it is safe to
predict that there win be some fun during
coming sessions of the city council. Ger
tain individuals OF this municipality
have reason to know that Mr.. Reed has
long memory and is terror when he
puts his war toys on" II this is Mr..
Reeds feeling it is very unfortunate that
he was successful in his candidacy. The
council chamber is not the place for
fun" nor for the settlement Of petty,
personal scores, bat for the conduct oil
municipal business to the best interest oil
the municipality. The HERALD hopes
and believes that the quotation does not
embody Mr.. Reeds sentiments, but that
1t is fool bugaboo advanced without
authority or basis Of fact.

The Laborer Is Worthy Of His Hire.


The action Of the Jewellers league Of
this city in adopting under protest u
motion made by its secretary to reduce
his salary is likely to attract considera-
BILE attention in commercial circles It
was a peculiar situation. The secretary,
who is we'll to do. wanted to turn over
to the organization several hundred dol
lars OF his pay, as he didn't need it.
There was an instant protest from gen.
erous member. who said that it would
be setting up a bad precedent to consent
to the secretary's proposition. The menu
Der believed that the work done by the
secretary was worth all he got. and he
suggested that his successor in Office
might not be SO well able to do without
the full amount of the salary, which is
drawn from the membership fees.
There was sound sense in this protest.
1t is grounded on the fair and manly no
ton that the good laborer in any field Of
work is well worthy his hire. Expert
ence proves that he gets best service who
pays his servant literally. The Jewel
ers' league believes in this policy. New
