Their Use is Dangerous 10 Health. The condemnation of alum as an un Iolesome ingredient in baking por iers by the government author iti,s as well as by the Iowa and Minnesota State Boards of Health an physicians generally, has no: detrrred manufacturers of such powders from foisting them on the public.

 l IS safe to reject all brands sold wi n prizes. All powders sold at twenty-five cents or less a pound are sure to be made of alum. Dr. Wiley, the Government Chemist, in his of fcial examination of baking powders at the Worlds Fair, threw out all alum powders chasing them as unfit for human food.
 But the Worlds Fair could ap- prove as we'll as condemn. After the most elaborate tests, it bestowed the highest award for purity, leaven- ing power, keeping qualities and excellence on pr. Pnce's Cream Paklng Powder.

(From thc PhiIndeIphia Kecord)
The announcement fioni Washington that Brit
ish, French. and German residents in Cuba have
fled claims for damages with tifc State Depart
mcnt IS scarcely surprising. The Government
has been scattering the public money in that
quarter like some eiale hlondiker throwing coins
to 4 crowd. and there Is an international
scramble for it accordingly. But in this instance
the foreign claimants have presumed too much.
TIE Government is obliged by the terms of the
Treaty Of Peace to settle all claims Of American
citizens due TO the Cuban instruction. but
there has been agreement TO pay damages to
Hans or Jean cfapaud or John Ball. No, no. Let
them look 10 Spain for redres. Spain, which

WEDNESDAY, MAY IL. 1899.
The Peace JubiIee.

The last week of preparation for the
Peace Jubilee finds conditions as satisfac-
tory as the most ardent promoters of the
festival could desire. Washington is at
its best during the latter part of May 50
far as concerns the natural beauty of the
city. The weather promises to be fine so
that all that nature can do to lend addi-
tional attractiveness to the occasion may
fairly be relied upon.
There have already been similar cele-
brations In other cities-in Philadelphia,
Atlanta, and Omaha, for example. But
commendable as were these demonstra-
success which attended them, they could
not be expected to possess the significance
of a similar celebration at the National
Capital.
Washington has been described as "the
home of capital and the tomb of ambi-
tion." The description may or may not be
accurate, but it is certain that the city is
not lacking in sense of local pride,
even though its residents cannot vote.
The manner in which the Business
Mems Association has acted in originating
and in thus far carrying to completion the
arrangements for the Jubilee shows that
Washington is at least on a par with other
cities in its celebration or commemoration
OF events that are deserving of honor.
1t is TO be supposed, of course. that the
city viii be generously if not elaborately
adorned, not only in the business, but in
the residential districts. All decorations.
however. in order TO be in accord with the
spirit of the occasion, should be sug-
gesiye Of peace and not of war. II
we are to have a Peace Jubilee let
it be suggestive of peace in every sense
OF the term. II would be in very poor
taste TO recall events which could only
serve 10 revive old time sectional differ
ences- Washington is cosmopolitan city
IN the fact that its population comprises
people from all parts of the country and
representatives of North, South, East, and
West will no doubt be equally pleased to
contribute to the success OF the celebra-
tion.
President Mckinley has announced that
he viii review the parades and preside at
the public speaking. So far as the guar
antee fund is concerned, an amount ap-
proximating s27. Geo has already been sub

Newport News, May 1.-THE battieship

her preliminary and official trial trips next
month. The shipyard officials have de-
cided to send her on her preliminary trial

the official trial will take place three weeks
later. The vessel is almost completed. and

the latter above the other, are novelties

OF the world. The Kearsarge will be the
first battleship to have the superposed tur
ret idea embodied in her armament. The
Kentucky, which is a duplicate in every
respect will be ready for her trial trips
about a month later. 1t is expected that
the Kearsarge will be ready to be placed
in commission some time in September.

Seeds of Discomfort scvvn by Native
Generals Out of Work.


Major E =. Tagsart. of the Sixth In
fautry. who has Just returned from Cuba.
where he was eommissary officer under
Maj. Gen. James II. Wilson, was at the
War Department yesterday and talked In
terestingly of the situation In Cuba. lie
stated that from his observation of the
generals in command OF the departments OF
the island they are fully capable OF hand
ling the problems that constantly arise.
Inc important question there Is to pro-
vide the people with something to do and
TO break up the influence over them by
the so-called Cuban generals who. with tie
disbanding Of the Cuban army have no
occupation. These officers are the retard-
Ing element in the settlement OF the Cuban
question In the Department of Matanzas
General Wilson was several times con-
fronted with trouble because of the inter-
ference of the Cuban officers. Just when
the soldiers would be persuaded to give
up their arms and return to the soil for
living they would be induced to change
their mind and would then refuse 10 con-
sent to the American demands
General Wilson. he said, had taken
charge OF the department with the deter
mination that but one military organiza-
ton should rule in his territory and he SO
notified the Cuban generals. They were
told that the Americans had been sent
there and that no other soldiers would be
allowed. He then told the Cubans TO lay
down their arms The generals protested
that ii was not yet time to do so but
General Wilson was firm and the organiza-
tions disbanded. Practically the same con-
dition confronts General Brooke In Ha-
vana, but Major Taggart believes that
General Brooke will soon convince the
Cubans that II Is to their interest to
peaceably abide by the American orders.
Major Taggart says that the entire island
presents devastated appearance. Only
the remains OF the machinery OF mills are
left standing and the country is grown up
with underbrush and trees so that the
Cubans have little or no work to do

An UnpronIsinu yi..ion

II is reported that a certain wealthy Phil
adelphia man has attempted the task of
preaching TO the Hebrew population on
the East Side OF New York. and that he
had hard time OF it on his first tour in
that vicinity. They threw tin cans and
ether things at him and his wagon. His
reason for this enterprise is given in one
sentence It is:
II the Gospel cannot convert the Hebrew 1t can.
40; convert the Gentle.
Looking at the matter dispassionately.
and from a purely philosophical point of
view, one might say that the intended con-
yerts Of this wealthy missionary had a re-
tor; ready to their tongues They might
say that if the Gospel cannot convert the

uE-Christian way in which the Jewish peo-

Iaiion OF the ghetto was consigned TO the
flames. The persecution OF the Jews in
England under King John and his rela-
tives is one OF the disgraceful chapters in
English history. There is no exaggeration
in the statement that the Jews have fur
n.shed as many martyrs for their religion
as the Christians in all lands. have for
tAeirs. The remembrance of these things
is probably at the bottom OF the reception
given the excellent missionary who went
TO preach TO the people OF Hester Street.

The fact should not be overlooked that
General Otis, who is in command in the
Philippines, has civil as well as military
authority. and that the Commission Of
which he is a member is establishing civil
functions in every town which comes under
American control When Aguinaldo's forces
are driven out of a city some sort of civil
government is constructed. II there be a
government in operation satisfactory to the

The salary of n PIutocrnt.

There has been floating around the
country little paragraph to the effect
that while Queen Victoria's income is
about a million dollars a year. John u.
Rockefeller's is twelve millions.
The old-fashioned American used TO
laugh at the ''effete aristocrary'' of the
European court and insinuate that his
neighbor across the water was extrava-
CANT in keeping a Queen at a salary of
million dollars a year. The Englishman
may reasonably ask us now If we are not
little extravagant in keeping Mr.. Rookie
feller at salary twelve times that of the
Queen. Perhaps, of course. he and his as
sociates are worth all they cost, but there
are some Americans who seriously doubt
the statement.
In country with such immense busi-
ness interests as ours somebody must con-
troll the money in great masses. We can
not, in this age of the world, do business
on picayune scale. 1t will not do to at
tempt any cheese-paring in the affairs of
the Army and Navy or the diplomatic ser
vice. If there are men who have the abil-
ity to control. for the best good of the
public, interests involving hundreds OF
millions of dollars and the lives and hap
piness of thousands of people, they should
be paid well. for they will pay their own
salaries In the end
That, in fact, is the fundamental idea of
aristocracy and monarchy. 1t has been
understood for long time that the King
ought to be, ard he often is. better edu-
Gated than almost any of his subjects.
Otherwise he could not handle problems
with which the subtlest and most astute
diplomats. the most aggressive of business
men, the most determined warriors, are
also concerned.
Is our plutocracy that sort of governing
power? That is the question before the
country. There is no question that the
millionaires come very near controlling
our Government as well as our business.
Do they act for the best good of the peo-
pie? Are they worth what they cost?
That is going to be one of the questions
in the election of 1900. year ago it was
very plain that certain moneyed men in
this country were violently opposed to the
Spanish war, and IL they had had their
way Spain would still rule in Cuba, the
Maine would have been unavenged, and in
the uncertain state of European politics
nobody knows what else might have hap
pened. Not infrequently slump" in the
stock market ruins whole years business
for thousands of farmers. Now and then
combine" sends the wages of the factory
laborer down away below living point. and
thousands of men tramp the country in
search of employment. and their wives and
daughters are driven to face death or
worse than death. Over and over again
a disgusted city has been brought face to
face with the fact that its convenience, its
health, its comfort. and even the lives OF
its citizens, were worth nothing compared
with the annual income OF the members of
corporation. Is there any way in which
these things can be stopped? Are they
part of the price we pay for being Ameri-
cans and having no aristocracy?

Fortunately they were all good swimmers
