Its superlative purity, the entire wholesomeness of its ingredients, the scientific manner in which they are combined, together with its much greater strength, make the Royal unquestionably superior to any other baking powder. “H.

; . ■= !=r , FRIDAE, DEC. 18, 1891. ! _ I Bihce’s term in the senate will 1 end in 1897, and perhaps Forakei will then have a chance to go t< that body. i—? The Ohio man got there, oi course. Ex-Congressman Yoder, oi Lima, Ohio, was unanimously nom inated for sergeant-at-arms of tht house. He will be a faithful office] popular with the members and the public. It is stated that ex-Speaker Reed 1 remarked that he preferred the election of Mr. Mills as speaker, because ho could have Mills throw his gavel at him before the stssiu.i was well under way. Crisp will employ a better weapon. He wiL throw a crushing rule at Reed jusi as soon as the latter recommences his old pranks. President Harrison thinks this government should subsidize the Nicaragua canal. A president who can make such a proposition in the same message in which he calls attention to the fact that the Pacific roads owe the government $112,000,000, of which there 4s" no'prospect of payment, can never be ac- « eased of lacking “nerve.” The road question is one that effects our county and is perplexing oitr account of the heavy expense that will follow the building of them out of crushed stone. But the mud that they have to encounter during the open and spring that we have been havingfor some years past will cause them to move soon, for during four months of the year they are compelled to etay at home on account of the roads. Cuauncy Depew eagerly seised an occasion Wednesday to say a few warm words for President Harrison, declaring him to be a statesman of marked ability and-by no means the scold and selfish man he was commonly supposed to be- But then Mr. Depew w*nt on to say that for himself he had always been a Blaine man, and that Blaine could unquestionably get the nomination it he desired it. It was thus. Harrison gets the soft words, but Blaine gets v the butter for his parsnips. Better protection from fire is what we want here, and there are' none but/vbat will say that such we must have, the question then is’iiow arc *e to vet that protection? It is true, we could buy a steam fire engine, but like our hand engine, ' when, the fire comes the engine will not work, and the cost of such a machine is from five to ten thnn« sand dollar.*, and there must he a paid fire department* to attend x to the engine and horses attached makk ing * cost of not less than three L th--»sand dollars which, if applied to the payment of interest on water works, will build the works : in less than three years will be | at staining.

What is the matter with our ReI publican friends? They surely are [ ..sleep, the cry of the “rebels are ii I <he saddle,” has not been heralde< I -irth by any of them yet since tin i meeting of Congress. Are thej I | jftting the Brigadiers on the bad , vvith the hope that they may tickli hem? The intellectual weakness of thi publican party is confessed b\ .' ir. Clarkson when he complaint hat few newspapers of worth an Jvocates of Republican policy he same weakness will be apparent i the Senate, and the contrast will. <e highthened by the entrance oi . 'aimer, Hill and Vilas on the othei .de—three men of the first class. Jf late years the Democratic party h is, as a rule, honored its barinest ten. Tbeßepublicans have been lAivd by their plutocratic vutaugij.i nts to substitute boodle for brain. Russell Sage has the reputation it being a most abstemious man. A vriter once said of him, in reference i this trait, which is becoming to distinctive of the great millionaires of America: “He has smoked • ily once in his life, a pint of sherry or whisky in his office lasts him from one to six months; a spoonful j.ice every other day or once a week, iu a wine glass of water, is all that he permits himself to indulge in.” >ome persons, however, attribute his to the penury and want in vhich Mr. Sage lives. He really innot afford to smoke or drink. Did it ever occur to you businessmen that the farmers do not buy as much as they ought; that they d > not buy as much as they did twenty years ago? It is not bec tuse the farmers are any stingier than they were or because their wants are any more easily supplied. It is because they oan’t afford to uuy; prices are too low. Why don’t yiu pay more for produce? Bec tuse you can’t afford to; you can’t ply any more than you can get for it, and the markets at the centers of consumption arc down, and you n re powerless to bring tbsm up. Why are the markets low in the centers of consumption? Because so many city work people are out of work, or are driven to the scantiest of incomes*, not because the work is all completed in the cities and the cities are finished, but because the employers themselves are s inted, and those who would build and employ labor are unable to do s j for lack of money. Can't you businessmen see and understand this? The same thing that hurts the farmers hurts you, and whatever benefits the farmer and laborer vill benefit you. U >e sura npt ask'ng the government for any donation* we simply want the idle to be b§t to work at remunerative wages, so that they can go to eating and wearing.

HARD TIMES FOR VPPEL TJMDOM. “ Tbe pant week was a bird one foi ihe world’s “Upper Ten Thousand.’ I*i this country Millionaire Cyrus W. ’ield is involved in misfor t tines of wealth so great that he i* an object of pity to all whorare not utterly caste-bound. Bussell Sag< has come oft much lighter, but stil li.is had an unpleasant experience, suggesting the possibilities incident to world-wide celebrity a a “Capon of Industry,” while on the oiher side of the water Earl Russel and bis Countess' have exposed on ihe housetop the baseness of things <l >ne and thought in what they be lieved to be the utmost privacy, and 'hat in away which brings to all aho read and understand the blush < f shame that such things should be done at all or understood when done. Seldom has there been a better chance to sermonize at the expense of those who set themselves up foi the world’s envy. sewing-girl would, for any. title, go on the witness-stand and confess before the world such familiarity with vice as this Countess so freely confessed? What dollar-a-day man with common sense would exchange with Millionaire Field, now that he is enjoying the full usufruct of his acquisitions? Who of us all would s vap nerves with Russell Sage in the condition his nerves are left in by contact of a lunatic who thought he«had found even a quicker way to get a million than Mr. Sage had learned in Wall street? But sermonizing at other people’s ;pense is a poor' business. It it ily another why of being gratifiec > other people’/misfortunes. And I mbtless, Russell Sage, gating hit i n-cent lunch and squeezing hit ,j 'limes, has just as much right, and i , in some way or other, of as much -e, in the world as the man who is 'ch enough to give a dime to an ideserving beggar. The Earls, i id Lords, and all the rest of them i i what everybody is beginning to i »pe is now an almost “effete” her- > litary nobility, certainly had their ; -es, and in their day did far more >r the world as it was then, and as iu is now, than did those who were - itisfied when they bad filled their stomachs. The plutocrats, too, have ieir uses.« At any rale they are a *u that something is going on i> e world. As plutocrats they hav» be Jield iu check, but it is per otly safe to adjnit that as individ .Js they will average up and avera ,e down pretty much as the rest oi i ( do. The only difference is that II which, m the long run, we are to i we in some way or other what we cally wish for above everything o se, they have wished for money iid got it, while the most of the i- st of us, though wishing for it, s t with our thumbs in our mouths cavying them, feeling that we are k. much entitled to it as they are, kud wondering why if does not come t * us as to them. riZJE DEMO CJtA TIC JIOUSE The Democratic House of Representatives now in session will dlo auuh to make Democratic success carder or easiomoxt year. If it should f til to press the issue of tariff re. form against the McKinley bill; if t were not competent to so handle all issues of finances as to prevent he issue from being obscured *nd the party fro*# divided, the Democratic prospects of success 111892, now so flaltering, would become gloomy enough. On the other band, if this House shows competency ; jf jt keeps its large majority united} it it torpgg Ibp Republican Senate and Fresidout to tfip defensive and keeps them there, there will be every prospect of easy victory for the Democrats when the campaign opppg year. t It ought to be a SQb.erjng reflection to all Democratic members of the House that in them is the only preggnt Republican hope of success. Every Republican sees Republican able unless It le averted by the Democratic majority in this House of Representatives. Aud among Democrsls generally there is alike feeling that the party be defeated unless the action of the House forces some radieai cbaug® in the situation. ( I'hv policy for the Democratic ! majority of the House under such ] cirucmstaimes ouMipeg itself clearly ’ enough. The Harrison < tipn must be held to its acoounta- j bility to the people, and the fact , that there are large number of Democrats in the lower housp pt the legislative branch must aot be ab loved to obscure the real situation

—a situation in which now as in * 800 the Republican party as it is in and ministration is 1 esponsible for the perversion of lovernment and the evils with i > hich the country is threatened - nroughout that perversion. Holding the radicalism of the administration in check and to its accountability before the people; isisting on reform in the administration of the Pension Bureau; calling to account the members of the Administration who have beeu iu complicity with national bank wreckers; demanding an explanation of the disgraceful incidents in our foreign relations; keeping before the country so plainly that it cannot be mistaken the determination of the Democratic party to overthrow the McKinley bill and to cit the tariff to a revenue basis, aid at the same time insisting on rigid economy m appropriations, the Democratic majority in Congress can make party success next year. If it departs from this policy all the influence it exerts in the campaign will be excited in favor of the Republicans, and will prove a saviour to them where otherwise ■their case seems hopeless. CIVII SERVICE AND THE PRESIDENT. An organ finds courage to say. L’he Civil bervice Commissioners must be gratified at the warm words of commendation which their work receives from President Harrison in h.s CougrebS. The Preti ent"declares that the civil service vw is being impartially executed, I id he recommends for the ensuing year an increased appropriation for ie commission. I Magnanimous Mr. Harrison. The ivil Service Commissioners gave nm a hot roast in their report, hey publish three resolutions oi - mdemnation, citing first the civil -crjice plank in the Republican plat f'-rm. They charge that the Presilent “refused to apply the civil s ryice reform system of open nonpirtisan competitive examinations II appointments to the clerical force o' the census bureau,” and that in this refusal was “a violation of the promise contained in the Republici i piaifurui of 1888 ludorst-d in his ttei* of ai-vvpiaiice,” and that b\ i**on of this flagrant violaii. b ‘ men were appointed, aid that, in many places, attempts i ive been made to use official posic: >ns for the benefit ot the party in p >wer, and that the value ot the c nsus is impaired in great measure >y the fact that the census bureau his been conducted on the spoils s/stem.” As these extracts are from the of censure, direct, it will e seen that the President’s idea of t ie execution of the law differs from t nt of the commissioners appointed to examine into tbe workings of the measure and report accordingly. The President says “the commissioners have done well and he has f dfilled his promise and executed tie law.” Tbe poflaffijssioners say the President has broken his pledge and given the place, where of all the law was most needed, deliberately pyer to the spoilsmen. A sharp and dirppt pppflipt pf “opint »n” to put it mildly. It is recalled that President Harrhon said that a cheap coat meant a Cheap pjan, py lyords to that effect fiat cheap clothing degrading. According to some lines in his mess kge he has changed his mind. He rejoices at the declared result, that jLlje McKinley act has reduced the p-ieesof {he instead of tariff pining a dignified aud aristocratic uplifting of prices and men, it is found to signify a cheapening of the same, rejoices—everything is grist that comes to tbp sppj|blican mill.
