IT IS FINISHED.

After months of weary waiting on the part of the people, months of unrest, and months of contentious in the ranks of Democratic legislators and hlibustering hindrances by Republican politicians, the Fifty-third Congress oi these United States has at last given general relief by grace ful and patriotic surrender by the House Of Representatives to the will of the Senate, and an agreement upon basis of tarlh legislation, which makes long step for ward toward tariff reform. The House has passed the long pending bill, with the Senate amendment but goes upon record as dissenting from protecting coal, iron ore, barbed wire and sugar, by the passage of separate bills placing these articles on the free list. They will never pass the Senate-hence play the part only of making history for the party, and mending some mand repairs.
 The whole country accepts the tariff bill with sigh of general relief, not tcfcsssng the measure as a whole, out grateful to the legislative power- TOT a cessation of the prolonged strife, which in itself paralyzed business and threatened general disrup- tion.
 From a political standpoint we can only view this result as a partial Democratic victory; from a financial view, it's chief success lies in the fact that the work is fin- ished. Localities and individuals will be more specifically affected by it's provisions, but the country at large, which is bearing the burden of McKinleyism, and has for so long time, breathes an air of relief and is inspired by hope that the Democratic party means, by degrees, and to the extent of it's power, to fulfill all it's just and reasonable promises to the people.
 Inspired by these considerations the country will now settle down to business, and the wheels of industry will again re- volve. The South has no complaint to offer, and the mineral district of Alabama will cease it's groaning, take on more cour- age, and under the touch of industry blos- som as rose, and push rapidly forward to that position which nature has so lavishly prepared for her. The South has every promise now of glorious season of general business revival. With tariff legislation mediate section, with an assurance of a bountiful yield of the soil-the largest since the war-with people anxious for a re- vival of business, determined, wide awake nd ia pk f0 doubt an early emancipation from the de- pression which we have so long and patiently borne. %

SHOULD THE GOVERNMENT ACT

TO SUPPRESS FRAUDULENT ADVERTISE
 MENTs OF WORLDS FAIR AWARDS?
 Letters from both the chief of awards on agriculture at the Chicago Worlds fair, MT. J. 8. Browning, and the judge of awards on baking powders, expose the falsity of the claim made in behalf of a Chicago baking powder that it received the highest award for Ieavening power, keep ing qualities, purity and general excel- lence.
 The judge of awards says that this claim is false, that no such award was given to that baking powder.
 MT. Browning, in his letter already pub- lished, also shows that there was no award given to the Chicago company for the best baking powder.
 It now appears further that the analyses of the powders exhibited showed baking powder made in New York altogether the superior of the Chicago powder in both purity and strength.
 The governm ment has prohibited the use for advertising purposes of the medals awarded by the fair. It would be great protection to the public if the government would also prohibit the publication of false claims, such as those that have been exposed in relation to such awards.
 The only official competitive test of a national character, from which consumers can obtain the actual facts as to the rela- tive values of all the principal brands of baking powder of the country, is that made by the agricultural department at Washington, D. c. It so happens that this was conducted by the same eminent chemist who acted as judge ot awards at the Chicago Columbian fair. As has al- ready been published, at this examination the superior powder and highest in leaven- ing strength.
