A Provisional Success,

The Westminster Gazette, London,
said editolially that General Warren's
success in capturing Spion Kop was
exactly what the Associated Pres de-
clared it to be-provisional. George
W. Smalley cabled the Times of Lon
don, that the Associated Press took
care that "we shall not overestmate
Warren's success, suggesting that it is
only provisional, and that there is the
usual disposition in London to exag-
gerae the Importance of the point
scored"
The Westminster Gazette defends its
course, maintaining that it is not I'M
patriotic to decline to gloss over
facts"
"As a matter of fact the Gazette
declared, "Great Britain assumed that
the point gained was more conclusive
than it really was; hence the extreme
revulsion of feeling caused by Gen
Buffers announcement of the abandon
ment of Spion Kop. Considering that
the Beers who held the position fed,
that the British casualties in retaining
it during the subsequent attacks were
heavy, and that the strategcal value OF
the point had still to be demonstra ed
there never was any great reason fol
throwing up hats, and until further
particulars arrive it is impossible to es
innate to what extent the public disap
poinLment is justified. 1t is impossible
to say whether the British suffered {
reverse or the movement was dictated
by strategic reasons. Obviously The
position was useless unless guns coult
be planted on it,"

In South Africa.

The battles are in no wise compar-
able as to numbers engaged and aw-
full sacrifice of human life, but
the feeling in London awakened by
piling of Pelion on Ossa in the way of
disaster to British arms in South AT
RIGA lis not unlike the distressful ex-
perience of the North during the earlier
times of the civil war, after Bull Run,
the first and second of that fatal name,
after the terrible battles of the peninsu-
lar campaign-Mechanicsville, Gaines
Mills, Fair Oaks, Seven Pines and Saw
age Station, after Fredericksburg and
Charlottesville. Then came turn in
the tide of misfortune when the bells
in every steeple in the North celebrat-
ed the incoming of the victories at
Gettysburg, and of Grants heroic and
triumphant march from the Rapidan to

THE ALUM BAKING POWDERS.
Names OF Some of the Principal
Brands Sold In This
Vicinity,

The recent discussion in the papers
of the fleet upon the human system
of food made with alum baking pow
ders and the OPT ions that have been
published from noted scientists to the
effect that such powders render the
food unwholesome, have caused nu-
merous inquiries for The names of the
various alum powders.
In Massachusetts,, New Jersey and
several other States, of such import
ance do the food authorities deem the
matter that the names of alum powders
are officially made public, and in two
States at least the laws provide that
there shall be printed upon the labels
of all packages of this class of powders
the statement that they contain alum.
Information as to the list here given
has been obtained from the official re-
ports of the Massachusetts and New
Jersey health authorities, from the
Agricultural Department chemist at
Washington, and from other equally
reliable authority:
BAKING POWDERS CONTAINING ALUM.
DAVIS o K, Con,o;, A,,,
DRY YEAST, ' -
RIB. Davis & Co., New York.
WASHINGTON Contains Alum
Washington Baking Powder Co.
GEM Contains Alum
Alex. J. Howell, New York.
GRAND UNION Contains Alum
Grand Union Tea Co., N. Y.
In addition to these, it is learned
that many grocers are selling what they
call their own private or specia
brands. These powders are put W
for the grocer, and his name put up
on the labels by manufacturers of alum
powders. The manufacturers, it il
said, find their efforts to market thei
goods in this way greatly aided by thu
ambition of the grocer tt sell powde
with his own name upon the label, es
pecially as he can make an abnorma
profit upon it. Many grocers, doubt
less, do not know that the powder
they are thus pushing contain alum
and would be actually contraband il
many sections if sold without disguise
1t is quite impossible to give tn
names of all the alum baking powder
in the market. They are CONSTANT
appearing in all sorts of DISCUSSES, I'm
der all kinds of cognomens, and at al
kinds of prices, even as low as five an
ten cents pound. They can b
avoided, however, by the housekeepe
who will bear iu mind that all bakin
powders sold at twenty-five cents O
less per pound are liable to contai
alum, a pure cream of tartar powder
cannot be produced at anything Xix
this price.

A Pertinent Inquiry.

The government proposes to pay the
English corporation whose cable Adj
miral Dewey cut soon after the battle
of Manila bay. Representative Moody
OF Massachusetts attacked the bill in
troduced in Congress providing for the
payment of the company, showing that
the legal claims OF American citizens
against Great Britain are treated with
utter contempt. Mr.. Moody intimated,
however, that the United States had
better pay for this cable on the score
of "the events of the past two years"
Regarding this reason for favoring a
claim of British subjects, the Boston
Record with force and pertinency asks,
and follows its inquiry with an equally
pertinent suggestion:
Now, just what are these "events?"
The people Of this country are getting very
FESTIVE to know the true secret of this mys-
FERROUS debt which we owe to Great Brit
ain. We are now preventing the con-
science Of the world from putting a stop to
the bloodshed in South Africa, because of
this intangible obligation. Why not have
it written out in words and submitted to
Congress, 30 that the American voters can
understand just what we owe and for
what? II there Is any reason why the tax
payers of this country should be taxed for
the sake of paying the stockholders Of a
British corporation money to which they
have not the slightest claim, we are GER
tainly entitled to know the facts.

GOEBEL OF KENTUCKY ASSASS-
MATED.

FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. 30.-Senator
Goebel was assasslnated in front of the
Capitol building at 1l:i5 this morning.
The bullet that struck Goebel was fired
from side window of the third floor of
the Executive building. Five shots
were fred Goebel was carried to Cap
itol hot, and laid upon bed in his
room. He is not yet dead, but cannot
live. Only one shot took effect, that in
the left breast near the heart. The
greatest excitement prevails. Thous-
ands are clamoring about the scene.

Democrats talk for buncombe about
muzzling men, and forth With apply the
muzzling to Mr.. Bryan. This was
done by the New York Democratic
Club, which is another name for Tam
many, when he was dined without be-
ing allowed to speak, and he was muz-
zled by the Gridiron Club, of Wash
ington, which had him as one of its
guests at dinner where he was free
to speak, but with the knowledge that
an inviolable rule of the Club prohibits
the publication of speeches made by
its guests. 1t looks as though Mr..
Bryan really enjoyed being muzzled,
and it is certain that the Democratic
party would be better off in the end if
he were permanently muzzled, as it ia
clear, despite Bourke Cochrane's Itch
ing for reinstatement, that he is driv-
ing old Democrats into the Republican
party every day by his utterances,
which show an utter inability to read
the signs of the times.

The campaign in the Philip

large military force, over ooo
marines who were sent to China
have been ordered to Manila for
station duty. The navy, also, is
prepared for the campaign and
has filled up every ship on the
station with full complement of
sailors. There are, in addition,
large number of seamen avail
able for the auxiliary cruisers,

are to take part in patrol work and
in blockading the ports which
heretofore have managed to Sc
cure arms and ammunition from

THE future wage-earning girl
should have in her mind during
the latter part of her school life
the selection of her profession,
writes Margaret E. Sangster in
the November Ladies' Home
Journal. Il think it well for her,
too, very quietly, but with inten-
ton, to cast about among her
friends for suggestions, to ask the
kind offices of one and another,
and to make known her need of
immediate employment so soon as
she leaves school. Many good
positions are lost because of indie
cision, or false pride, or unwise
reticence on the part of those who
seek them. The mental attitude
of the girl in search of employ
ment should be neither indifferent
nor patronizing; she should set in
motion every legitimate means,
and let those who may be able to
assist her know something of her
situation. They can help, and she
can seek with much greater hope
Of success if the goal in view be
something definite"

In ANOTHER column will be
noticed an article signed by I.
IL. Newkirk, chairman of the COM
mittee on raising the bonus sub
scribed for the Rocky Mountain
Smelter company. The subscrip-
tion list was passed around last
May, and it was understood by
those who subscribed that the pay
ments would be due in thirty days.
1t is now nearing the last of No
vember and as yet only $1,000 has
been paid in, leaving a balance of
$4,000 of the subscribed money to
be collected. The smelter is now
making good headway and has ad-
vanced far enough to convince the
people that Florence is to have a
smelter, and it is time that the bal
ance of the money be handed in
to the committee. Let us not have
the same unpleasantness with the
operators of this plant as was the
case with the Union people.

THE Nicarauguan Canal bill was
made a special order in the senate
for December 10th next, one week
after congress reassembles. The
bill has already passed the house
and has been reported to the SEN
ate without any change whatever
in its text. The matter has been
so thoroughly discussed that it is
probable that there will be few or
no more speeches on it. The only
difficulty yet remaining in its way
is the Hay-Pauncefote treaty,
which expressly provides that the
canal shall not be fortified while
the bill now pending provides for
such "defenses" as may be con-
sidered necessary. Whether the
treaty will be killed or the bill
modified, remains to be seen.
