Condemned in Missouri and Csnfiscat

Judge Clarke of st. Louis has con-
victed and fined heavily number of
grocers for selling baking powders
containing alum.
The week before the Health Depart
ment of New York seized "a quantity of
stuff being sold for baking powder
which they found was made from alum
mixed with ground rock and dumped
it into the river.
The Health Authorities are thus
taking effective means to prevent the
introduction into our markets of in
furious substitutes in place of whole
some baking powders.
AS alum costs only two cents a
pound, there is great temptation for
those manufacturers who make sub
stitutes and imitation goods, to use it..
Alum baking powders can be detected
by the health authorities by chemical
analysis, but the ordinary house,
keeper, whose assistance in protecting
the health of the people is important,
cannot make a chemical examination.
She may easily know the alum powders
however, from the fact that they are
sold at from ten to twenty cents for a
pound can, or that some prize-like a
spoon, or glass, or piece of crockery,
or wooden ware--is given with the
powder as an inducement

that before she takes her seat In West
Minister Abbey there must be "preli-

easy 20 guess what these negotiations
involve. There is a noble Marquis rich
in blue blood. but poor In pounds,

fer his title upon some daughter of
Uncle Sam who is short on blue blood
and long on hard cash That Is the ex-
planation OF the mystery. American
girls who want to sit IN Westminster
Abbey as Warehouses; must have
credentials from their bankers before
they make bargain with the gentle
man from Anglo who has a
title to sell. Applicants FOR the honor
should enclose certified check for

The DEMOCRATIC ISSUE.

For the present every energy OF the
Democratic leaders, especially those in
Washington, should be put forth to
crystalline the sentiment Of the country
against the trusts, and more especially
against the system of protection
which has made these combinations
possible.
Democratic opposition should be
directed against the trail of the trade
mark in Congress. against the SUBJ
servency of the nation. through the
Republican party, to the will OF the
powerful capitalistic interests that
have enjoyed federal favors so long
that they think they own the ma
chinery of the government
Such a concentration in itself will
not antagonize the chances of any spe-
cial leader to hold grip on the ma
chnery OF the party. 1t would be
simply discrimination between the
vital issue OF the time and lesser ques-
tions.

CHANGE, FOR AMERICAN GIRL

Is there any American girl who

advertising columns Of New York

IAN American lady may take her
seat as a Marchioness in Westminster

STEEL TRUST EARNINGS.

The giant steel trust has completed
the first year of its existence and
report of it's business has been made
public.
The total net earnings was $l11,-
967 1856. This is larger than the capital
stock OF any of the other great in
dustrial companies. 1t Is greater than
the net earnings of five of the highest
class dividend paying railroads in the
county.
The report shows the estimate of
earnings by the officers to have been
very conservative. 1t also proves that
a policy of publicity is not injurious to
the business interests of the trust The
company has not lost anything by
opening its books to the public. But
the public certainly ought to profit by
the information, for very large part
of these enormous profits are contri-
buted by consumers for the protection
of this Infant industry" and it is
claimed that part of the ship subsidy

swell the returns.

HANNA EXCUSES RRThBONE.

Senator Hanna's defense of Rath-
bone is most interesting confessio
Of the abuses that have existed in our
colonies" He says
"At the utmost Rathbone was
victim of the prevailing custom of
lavish expenditures among the govern
ment officials in Cuba during the re-
construction period following the war"
In one sense. We have no doubt this
is true Rathbone saw how everybody
else was living in millionaire style,
and he went In to eclipse everything
in sight, and probably succeeded.
But the interesting fact overlooked
by Hanna is that this was done on the
money of the government and of the
Cubans. The distinguishing feature of
1.-The prevailing custom Of lavish ex-
penditures among the government off,
cials in Cuba" was that not blessed
soul of them was spending his own
money. And the custom came natural
to Mr.. Rathbone because he had long
been used to 1t. mis- experience as a
campaign Doodle distributor under
Senator Hanna and other Republican
statesmen had qualified him 10 spend
other peoples money like prince.
1t would be interesting to know how
many Rathbones and Neely's we have
developed in the Philippines? There
are rich pickings in the Orient and we
doubt not that the thrifty politicians
who have been sent from this country
there during the past three years are
missing no opportunity to feather their
nests. Exposure in Cuba was much
easier than in the Philippines and it
is we'll understood that there isastand-
ing order from Washington to Manila
that all scandals must be suppressed.
Our imperalist statesmen tell us that
American rule in the Philippines
means religion. civilization, happiness
and freedom. Think of this, and then
turn to the spectacle of the great Re-
publican boss-the apostle of national
honor"-seeking a pardon for one
