Tie Law After n Local Trust.

The Missouri baking powder trust,
of which Mr. Whitney Layton. of ST.
Louis. is secretary, is defending a
criminal action brought by the au-
thorities for violation of the law
which prohibits the use of alum, ar
senic. ETC.. in baking powders and
other articles of food. 1t seems that
Mr.. Layton has already been arrested
for selling baking powder containing
alum. The combination of alum pow
der manufacturers will probably have
its hands full in defending similar
suits, as it is said to be the determin
alton of the prosecuting authorities
to rigidly enforce the law.
In prohibiting the sale of articles of
food containing alum. Missouri has
followed the recommendations of the
leading physicians and boards of
health of the country, and it would
appear as if the law strictly enforced
would remove source OF danger to
the public health which has for years
been the cause of much concern to all
medical men. Meantime hOusekeepers
will aid the authorities in driving ont
the danger by demanding of their
grocers a baking powder that does not
contain alum.

A Fee that Meant Millions.

Even more romantic than the career
of Senator W; A. Clark. the copper
king" OF Montana, is the rise OF U. ).
Senator George L. Turner, of Wash
ington. A few wears ago Mr.. Turner
was.'a political power in his State,
and while he was an unsuccessful can
didate for the senate he still had in
fiuence enough to defeat the re-elec-
ton of Senator Allen, and for two
years Washington was represented in
the national capital by one senator
only. Shortly after this struggle MIR.
Turner lost his fortune, and the future
looked black indeed. About this time
a party of miners came into his office.
They had struck lead up in British
America. near Victoria. and wanted
some law papers made out.
I'VE cant pay you cash for 'em,
George, said one of the party, but
we'll give you some stock and call 1t
square.
II don't want the stock, boys" re
turned Turner: ''we've known each
other for some time. and I'll do the
work for nothing"
mo, siree.' replied the leader: I'VE
pay as we co." and his comrades
nodded approval.
"Well, you keep your stock ana
pay me cash when you get 1t. -
Wed ruther give you the stock.
George" urged the miner, and to
please them Turner took the certifi-
Gates and tucked them away in his
safe. During their stay in town the
prospectors put up at a miuers hotel
paid out more of the certificates oven
the bar for liquor, which the host RI
willingly received.
That was two years ago. Today

The Shame of Frapce.

The conviction of Dreyfus was vir-
tually an acquittal. He either com
mitted treason or he did not. man
can not be. a half traitor any more
than he can be half honest. He either
lies or tells the truth. He is either
for or against his country. AT his
first trial Dreyfus was found guilty Of
traason and was sentenced for life,
but the recent court finds him guilty
of treason with extenuating circum-
stances, and sentences him for ten
years. This is as farcioal as it is
cruel. as wretched as it is wicked, as
silly as it is shameless, and the mill
tary court, in endeavoring to save the
honor of the French army, has open
ly and needlessly sacrificed whatever
honor it had left.
Nations. like viluals, must pay
the penalty OF their pertidy. Spain
has paid the penalty and has fallen,
century by century, FROM a power OF
the first rank to that of an inconspic-
uous and moribund kingdom. The
beginning of its decline dates back to
the expulsion of the Moors, tho i'm
pelling motive of which was precisely
that which inspires the hatred against
Capt. Dreyfus. The patriotic voice q!
Zola is still heard proclaiming thai
truth is on the march. that 1t mace
giant stride at Rennes, and tina
nothing will stop it. But it remalLs
to be seen whether its march must moi
be through the pathway OF blooGsheo
to the goal of another revolution.

Cooking as q Profession.

Young men who are in doubt as to
which profession will prove the most
lucrative for them to adopt would do
we'll to go into the kitchen of any
well-esta blished hotel or restaurant
and there thoroughly learn the art of
cooking" remarked famous New
York hotel chef to the writer Il day or
twu ago. "A skilful cook can now
command ia any big city OF the United
States Il higher salary than the aver
ago clergyman or college professor.
The scrs'jces of professional cooks are
yoverRtsI much the same as any other
skilled workman by labor organiza-
aud experience. At present French
cooking i most in demand in all parts
%; the world. and French cooks can
c,,,Nmaud by far the highest salaries.
Ihe professional cooks are divided
iR.o two classes called chefs and sec
onds. The 1irsts. or chefs, receive
salaries varying fro1 SUM 10 Sl2.oVo
year. These prices are practically
the same in all .Arpes'ican and Euro
.rean cities. The seconds receive sal
aries ranging from $1,000 to shjVO. The

1t is estimated that there are more

That stock Law Discussion,

There is discussion going ON
through the columns of the Jackson
Cash Book between two men signing
themselves respectively Liberty Spy"
and Farmer. Farmer" wants the
stock law adopted and Liberty Spy"
don't want stock law. They argue at
great length. They get all over a
column at time in the Cash-Book
just for the sake of argument and to
give the editor something Ito fill up
with. They make all manner of sug-
gestiOns and all sorts of comparisons,
and Farmer" goes way off TO the
Philippines for n ridiculous citation.
He mikes the Filipino, the brindle
COW and the razor-baclz hog all
together and then says ''Old Brindle;
and the ''razor-back" must go.
The DEMOCRAT has for years ad-
vocated the determination of the
brindle COW and the razor-back hog
and the DEMOCRAT is now labOring
in the good cause of trying to civil
ize the Filipino.
The great obstacle in the way of
determination of the brindle COW and
the razor-back hog is the big land
grabbers who owns thousands of acres
of our farms and timbered lands
which he rents out to tenants who are
too poor to make pastures for the
shiftless modern breeds of stock. His
lease On the land like his lease on
life. is too short-toO uncertain for
him to fool away his time building
pasture fences for his master. He
wants but little here below and he
wants that little while ne has lease
on life and lease on land, and when
stock law election comes up, he goes
to the polls and with his ballot pur-
chases the freedom of his brindle COW
and his razOr-back hog.
There is no politics in this stock
law proposition, but like this Philip
pine matter it is a question of who is
on top and a matter of who will let
go. The big land owners are the
stumbling blocks in the way of exter-
mlnating the br1ndle COW and the
razor-back hog in this country and
the big Democrats are the chaps who
are preventing the speedy civilization
OF the Filipinos.

The law provides that any owner,
lessee. tenant or person occupying
land who neglects to cut down on the
land or on the roads along the land
any Canada or Scotch thistle, shall
pay a fine OF 5000. If any one will
take the trouble to look along the
south side of Mrs. Painters farm on
the Bloomfield road he will see many,
many Canada thistles now going to
seed. We do not know who rents that
land. but whoever he is had better
look out. These thistles will ruin any
county where they get a start.
