We find (lie above in our esteemed re
publican eotemporary, the Cincinnati
Timcs-Star. We lias ten to say that the
Times-Star, or any other reputable jour
nal, would do good service to the denm-
| crutic party to expose any crookedness
or wrong-doing in public affairs bv the
administration or those associated in the
governmental departments. Fair and
honest criticisms of public men and
methods are to be expected and frequent
ly arc quite necessary. The only way in
which an evil In the party can injure il
is by employing the republican method
of concealing and condoning it.
Just how Postmaster General Vilas
acted "in bad faith toward the postal
clerks in the railway mail service” is
something that it is difficult for any
friend to gpod government to understand.
Twenty-six clerks, all of whom are well
paid and have comparatively light work,
undertook to establish a secret labor
society among the employes of the post-
office department with the view of com
bining so as to defy the rules of the gov
ernment for that department, to dictate
the terms of their employment, the limi
tations of their labor and doubtless their
salaries as well. In other words they
desired to assume command of the rail
way mail service. *
It might as well i,e understood ut once
that the United States government is a
linni hitter and it. does not paV to project
with Uncle Sam. Those who believe
that government officials who have
charge of the various departments should
control them, will upplaudthe manner in
which he lets out from the shoulder.
These postal clerks had best be thankful
that they get oil'simply with a dismissal
from the service. This act of theirs
trenches so far toward treason as to he
suggestive. It is quite true that there
may not be just the provision in the
statute to precisely cover the treasonable
conspiracy in question, but it will not do
to think that such a provision will not
find its way there on occasions.

CLEVELAND’S SUPERIOR BARING POWDER,
now being introduced In this locality, has been before the
public fifteen years, and wherever introduced during that time
has, on account of its purity and great merit, superseded very
largely all other similar preparations for producing delicious,
light and healthful bread material. Hence the great anxiety
and fear evidenced by manufacturers of other baking powders
when they learn that CLEVELAND’S BAKING POWDER
is working its way into a new locality.
The manufacturers of CLEVELAND’S SUPERIOR
BAKING POWDER, recognizing the fact that the public
have a right to know what they are using as food, have for
many years published their formula, which has been confirmed
by analyses made by the Government chemists, State chemists
and leading scientists of various States, showing that their
Baking Powder contains only purest grape cream of tartar,
bicarbonate of soda and a little wheat flour, the latter to
preserve the strength of the powder, and that it does not
contain ammonia, alum, lime, or any adulteration whatever.
The public thus has not only the assurance that
CLEVELANDS SUPERIOR BAKING POWDER is
« absolutely pure,” but also a knowledge of all the ingredients
that enter into its manufacture. This latter information is too
often withheld by other baking powder companies.
The scurrilous advertisements of rival manufacturers will
not deter the citizens of this city from giving an article
so flatteringly recommended as CLEVELAND’S SUPERIOR
BAKING POWDER the trial which its merits so justly
deserve. CLEVELAND BROTHERS,

cities is increasing. Last year when there
existed a wholesome apprehension that
the cholera would visit the United States,
there was a most gratifying amount of
preventive preparation. Everybody
appeared to tie impressed with the sensi
ble belief that every possible sanitary
precaution should be used, and the result
was a cleaner city, the abatement of
more nuisances, and more general regard
paid to the sanitation of private houses
than ever before. We would like to see
that spirit revived now. The fact that
we have hud an unusually cool season
thus far, and that the city is generally
healthy, is no conclusive reason why the
precautions of last year should not be
repeated ties. Even if there should he
no danger of cholera it will serve to ward
off other infectious diseases. Let Colum
bus keep clean all tile summer.
IT IS NOT DEAD.
In our Sunday edition we made the as
sertion tiiat “theconservatives had throt
tled the last hope of home rule in Ire
land.” As soon as we read the letters in
cold type, we saw at a glance that it did
not convey the meaning we intended it
should. On the contrary, from the last
hope of home rule being throttled, Glad
stone defeated will continue to tower
above the heads of his adversaries. Glad
stone is defeated. There is no doubt
about that. But the cause of home rule
is not defeated. It lias met with a rebuff,
not a final repulse. The very submission
of the question of Irsh home rule to a
direct vote of the English people is a
concession which could not have been
imagined a few years ago when it was
first brought up in the house of commons.
Then it Was not considered a question of
practical British politics; now it is one

other.
At least such is the Infer*
ence.” The A11C until Evening News nmn also
uses the expression “ soup, bread, cheese, crack
ers and other condiments.” A man who is aa
thoroughly conversant with free lunches as the
writer evidently is, owes it to himself and the
public to look up the word condiment in the dic
tionary.

! A special dispatch from Washington to the
i Eufan la Times says:
I The story about Mr. and Mrs. Albert Elliot is
l false. Both have been ami are now visiting
Senator Pugh's family in Washington. Deny it.
The Enqoirkr-Si'n did not publish the details
of the reported scandalous details of the treat
ment of Mrs. Elliot by her husband, but we take
much pleasure in correcting the error into which
this paper, us well as many others, were led.
None but the most unscrupulous correspondent
would dish out such things in order to satisfy the
morbid appetite for sensations.
The bourd of health of Flatbush, L. I., has re
solved to tax funerals $1 each, without any reduc
tion to the trade.
We presume that this is done to discourage a
too prevalent practice that is apt to reflect on the
sanitary appointments of the community. The
next thing we hear the citizens will be complain
ing that this action is driving business to rival
towns, but no doubt rival boards of health with
empty treasuries will watch the experiment with
lively interest.
The Philadelphia Press urges upon the United
States senate to proceed with the “unpleasant
duty’’ of impeaching Mr. Garland. The Press
has yet to learn that the American house of lords,

impeach Mr. Garland, as they may learn from I
that musty, but not quite obsolete document* i
known as the constitution.

I have had blood poison for ten years. I know I have taken one hundred bottles of
iodide of potash in that time, but it aid me no good. Last summer my face, neck, body
and limbs were covered with sores, and I conld scarcely nse my arms on account of rheu
matism in my shoulders. I took S. S. S., and it has done me more good than all other medi
cines I have taken. My face, body and neck are perfectly clear and clean, and my rheu
matism is entirely gone. I weighed 116 pounds when I began the medicine, and I now weigh
152 pounds. My first bottle helped me greatly, aud gave me an appetite like a strong man.
