Don't Blame the Cook

If ia baking powder is not uniform in strength,
so that the same quantity will always do the same
work, no one can know how to use it and uni
formly good light food cannot be produced whit.
All baking powders except Royal because
improperly compounded and made from inferior
materials, lose their strength quickly when the can
is opened for use. At subsequent bakings there
will be noticed falling off in strength. The food
isheavy and the flour, eggs and butter wasted
1t is always the case that the consumer suffers
in pocket if not in health, by accepting any sub
sttute for the Royal Baking Powder. The Royal
is the embodiment of all the excellence that it is
possible to attain in an absolutely pure powder.
1t is always strictly reliable. 1t is not only more
economical because of its greater strength, but
will retain its full leavening power which no
other powder WILL until used, and make more
wholesome food.

Nominee for Railroad Commissioner.

Governor Cleaves has nominated for the
vacancy on the board of railroad commits
siouers, Mr.. Frederick Danforth of Gar
diner. This vacancy was occasioned by
the death of Col. Wildes, man emiuently
qualified for the place, and Mr.. Danforth,
we believe, will be worthy successor.
The position demands the services
of skilled engineer aud it is con-
ceded that the prominent candidates
for it were qualified. Mr.. Dlnforth
has made the profession his life work. he
has had long experience in the construc-
ton of railroads and is recognized as one
of the leading engineers in that branch of
his profession in New England. He is the
son of the late Judge Danforth and while
not member of the bar is recognized
as possessed of marked legal ability
and is frequently called as referee on
matters concerning which his profess
sion has afforded him practical knowledge.
His aptitude for the law, govern
ing such cases is we'll known among lawyers
who have had occasion to appear before
him. Mr.. Danforth is man of fine ad-
dcess and impresses even the casual obser-
yer with his energy and decision
of character. His greatest pleasures are
found in his delightful hone at Gardiner
and notwithstanding the engrossing duties
of his profession he takes great interest in
the affairs of his city and is one of the
leading members of the Congregstionalist
society at Gardiner and president of the Y.

FAR DISTANT WORLDS.
They Give d Faint Idea of the ImmeaGur
able immensely of Space.

Galilei, IN his "Sidereal Messenger, :"
made a map Of 80 new stars which he had
discovered in the consultations of Orion S
Belt and the Sword" and since then as
tronomer after astronomer, as is well
known, has added various groups and
galaxies to the 1000 or 8, 900 conspicuous
stars of the first six magnitudes which can
be always seen with the naked eye. 1t is
curious and not complimentary to the
good sense of mankind that those stars
should have been looked upon as merely
intended to spangle the sky and give light
at night. AS lamps they were always a
failure. Sixty times the total starlight on
the clcarest night would not equal the il
Illumination given by the moon; 80, coo, 600
times their radiance would be required to
equal sunlight Yet tho stars which are
seen even by powerful telescope are now
known to be only an insignificant proper
ton of those actually existing inside Wis
ible space"
Telescope photography as practiced to-
day in all the observatories reveals in Gp-
parently every blank region of the celes
tail sphere countless new and distant
worlds, lying far beyond all methods of
mortal computation and measurement

along the ether at the rate of 1S6, 600 miles
in second, so that the ray which we re-
ceive from the sun left his surface eight
minutes before it has reached our eyes.
BY ingenious processes, based on com
pick arithmetic, astronomers have deter
mined the distance of about so stars, and
the nearest of all of them to our system is
Alpha Ccntauri. The radiance of this star
takes, however, about four years to reach
human vision, while that which we per-
ceivo from Alpha Tauri or Aldebaran was
projected from its glittering source 81
years ago, and most of those seen deeper in
the night sky are so far off that their pres
ent light left them 800 or 400 years back.
Many are today visible whose beams have

A Base,ess Distinction.

The attempt of the mugwumps and other
political critics and partisans to make a
marked difference between Hill and Cleve-
land 10 point Of character and honest pa
triotism has proved grand failure. This
is apparent in many ways, especially in the
present conduct of some of the chief New
York Democrats who Wanted their own
political honesty by blindly following
Cleveland, while denounciug Hill as a
dangerous demagogue, but who are now in
close alliance with Tammlny in the sup
port of Hill in the rising storm against him.
These men however absurd in their past
assumptions as to the eccentric statesman
of Buffalo fame, are now showing shame
less candor in correctly ayowirg that Hill
is as good as Cleveland and that the
future fate of the Democratic party is more
in the hands of the former than of the lat
ter. 1t certainly requires more than MI
croscopic vision to see any moral superior
ity of Cleveland to the senior New York
senator. On the part of Hill there has
been far less hypocrisy of preteDsion than
in the words and acts of his INSCRIPTIONS
rival Both of these INSCRIPTIONS agita-
tors are to be thoroughly repudiated by the
voters of the Empire state, November 9th.

The Old World Situation.

The present nervous anxiety throughout
Europe as to the Russian Emperor's health
and probably near approaching death, is q
striking reminder of the peculiar, if not alb
n primal, construction and condition of the
existing European political system. From
the Atlantic to the Caspian sea, from Lon
don to Constantinople, from the Bay of
Biscay to the Baltic, the state of the Gar 8
health is watched with profound interest by
the people of the different nationalities.
In every intelligent household, in every
banking house, and in all the governmental
circles, there is keen appreciation of
the public dangers that may arise from
sudden change of Russian rulers at
the present juncture Of European affairs.
II could not be otherwise with the compos-
tie make up and conflicting passions and
interests of the three hundred and fifty
millions of European population. This I'M
satisfactory condition of the old world
ought to make Americans fully appreciate
the favorable circumstances in which their
country is placed, and correspondingly in
vigorate their resolution to maintain it
against threatening pefils of corruption,
reckless ambitions, and revolutionary ex-
peyimentary schemes.

In the Boston Journals Washington cor
respondent Webs letter is the following,
touching the Louisiana revolution:
A leading Louisiana Democrat, who
served many years in Congress, said today !;
1.-THE North shonld not be mistaken as TO
the Louisiana movement. The revolution
has come to stay. The old Democratic
leaders who are at the front in the matter
are not children. They have become en-
tireiy converted TO protection, as | have
been. They are protectionists for all
American industries. They do not limit
their demands to sugar rs Northern Demo
Gratis would have the country believe.
This revolt will make itself felt not only
this fall, but in the next Presidential cleo
ton. That was remarkable sight when
Gov. Mckinley was received in New Or
leans Saturday night.
1T is impossible for Northern men who
are not familiar with the extraordinary BIT
terness of Democratic politics in Louisiana
since the war TO understand what it signi
fes, and what must have occurred in Lou
isiana and national politics to m Ike it pos
sihIe that l3, coo people In the city of New
Orleans should have gathered to listen to
Republican speech, and that the orator
of The night should have been introduced,
walking arm in arm with Gen. w. j.
Behan, who was one of the leaders in the
White League movement which tempo
rarly overthrew by force tho Republican
state government in 1874, This indicates
one of the most remarkable changes in
public sentiment ever recorded in South
ern community.
IL have thought before that the Repubh-
cans would be sure 10 elect one congress
man in Louisiana; il seems to me now pos
sible that all three of the sugar growing
congressional districts of Louisiana may be
carried by the Republican candidates.
Hopeful anticipsiions had previously been
confined to two of the districts, the first and
third, in which Eek Congressman Dudley
Coleman and Judge Taylor Beattie are re-
spectively the candidates. 1t is now thought
that MIR. kernochsu, who WAS formerly
naval officer of New Orleans by appoint
ment of Mr., Cleveland, may pull through in
the second district. which comprises the
sugar-growing parishes of St. Charles, St.

SnoiIs in The Indian Service.

The following probably authentic an
nouncement is made dispatch from Wash
ington:
THE war department having become
satisfied that the policy of charging army
officers with the duties of Indian agents
has worked to the detriment of the service,
is relieving the officers already detailed for
this work as fast as the Indian bureau is
able to furnish civilian agents to Eli the
places. The objections to the plan are first
thst it ten Is to make the army unpopular,
and second thst it is bad practice to separate
an officer from his command for long terms
and impose upon him duties foreign to
proper military service. Lieut.. Msury
Nichols, Seventh Infantry, has just been
relieved from his detail AS acting agent at
the Kiowa sgency in Oklahoma
No well-informed observer of Indian af-
fairs needs 10 be told what this me ans. Soon
after the present administration came into
power it was given out that wherever prac-
ticable it was intended to appoint army Off
GERS as Indian agents. Republican Indian
agents were moved CHI and ft,without re-
gard to their fidelity experience or efficiency
and in considerable number of instances
army officers were designated to take their
plsces.-Boston Journal.

James Buchanan was the last Democratic
President of the United States previous to
the election of Mr.. Cleveland in 1892 ,vho
was supported by both branches of the
national legislature. The average ma,
tional debt outstanding during his ad.
ministration was $50, 297,7 09. The average
annual expenditure was SOS, ass, 3i4, or for
the full term total of S273, ,377, and

A humorous incident occurred at res
taurant in Bangor one day this week that
will not soon be forgotten by the parties
who were in it. A number of well known
men were taking dinner i'll one OF the small
apartments and their table was loaded with
the good things that go to make life worth
living. They were in the midst OF an AMI
mated discussion about the cy clones OF the
West when bang came big bull dog into
the apartment aud landed squarely on
his back in the middle of the ia
BILE. Such an uproar was never heard. Inc
dog scrambled to get on to his feet and he
smashed dishes and knocked all the food on
on to the floor. The men made a hustle to
get out and they bumped their heads and
had hard time generally. The cause OF
the commotion was young man who was
swinging the dog around outside and
whether he let him. fly in intentionally or
not is yet mystery.
