They should understand that congressional seeds are distributed to raise votes, not vegetables. Ali. the “evangelists” now in vogue, i nchuling the two noted “Name," we be lieve, have taken a hand in the conver sion of Chicago ; and had as Chicago lias always been it is truth to say that it is now worse than ever-—except the police, who, when fighting a mot,, are worthy of praise. The “evangelists" might now try the plan of letting bad enough alone. Somb of Mr. Randall's followers have been hearing unpleasant tilings from their constituents for their action in de feating the consideration of the Morrison bill. They attempt to evade responsi bility by declaring that. Mr. Morrison's hill was not in accord with the demo cratic platform, and not sue}] a measure as they could conscientiously support. Mr. Randall himself made this excuse upon the door of the house. dtacomdtuie of the hand of mugwumps » ho were imbecile enough to pin their faith to democratic promises. ’’ 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.

It tells a most startling story on Augusta. It is that many scores of men who dress respectably actually live on the one meal a day which is beaten out of the barrooms at tile free lunch counters; and that many respectable busi ness men are growing shy of the lunch counter “The irony of printers,” or rather of 1 00 * coount of having to herd with dead-beats. illegible copy, is well known to all writers I Th " ' vrUer . °, f lhe , articlc I f ows ® r ^ ’ i grotesque in two places.

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.

When it happens that the word, ns printed, makes no sense at all, the reader can fre quently supply the right one by the con text, but when the printer tins done his best, over the copy, and it reads smoothly enough the word fitting into place, some of the most ludicrous cross readings oc cur. The best thing for newspaper writers to do is to write so that the copy can he read. Some, of the manuscript received at this office is simply abomina ble. 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 at must be disposed of, one way or 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. There la a touch of human nature in this ex pression from Bob Burdette: A man had much rather he lined fifty dollars for fast driving than be told his horSe couldn’t trot fast enough to break the statute. It is much the same way all over the world. We once knew a gentleman—in the days before the war—who was in quite comfortable circmn- stances, that gave in hia iaxesat least 25per cent | more titan he owned.

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, even dominated by a republican majority, is not omnipotent. One of the things it can’t do is to impeach Mr. Garland, as they may learn from I that musty, but not quite obsolete document* i known as the constitution. Among the many schools in Boston is one for instruction in carpentry, conducted by a young lauy. Bhe has had twenty-live pupils throughout the oast winter, composed of boys belonging to some of the leading families, and she goes out ot town twice a week to instruct a class of seven. Maxwell will not swing if his able lawyers cau find any weak spot in “constitutional judges” who use a microscope to discover ‘technicalities” and entirely overlook the crime of which a de fendant stands charged.
