A UNITED PARTY
The election «<f Speaker Crisp on Monday
wan a decisive step In this direction. It
unites tho democratic party in Congress nDd
throughout the country. It Is a victory for
conservative democracy, a victory f<
mon seme. It Is not a persona triumph for
Crisp, Hill or Tammany, nor for Smith,
Brown or Hotiiusoii, but a triuuph for the
whole party. Its effect w ill be to destroy all
cliques, all mugwumps, cranks Isms and
hybrid local factions of every stripe. The
conservative forces of dtnmcacy uowstand
«d as a truly national party and appeal
to the sober common sense of the American
•le, who have had enough of narrow
minded extremists.—Herald.
The Herald holds the opinion that the
election of Speaker Crisp will mark the
brightest day the Democrats have seen
for many years. Taxation for revenue
only is the cue, and with moderation
and conservatism as the trump cards,
there remains no reason why the record
of the 52nd Congress should not stand
in vivid contrast with the “billion dol
lar'’ one.
The Democratic rag-bag will be turn
ed iuside out in search of a suitable
standard bearer who will offer the assu
rance of victory in 1802. Crisp is a con
servative, calm,’cool leader, pledged to
such measures of reform as the time is
ripe for, and that will be feasible and
popular.
When his gavel fell it called to order a
united Democratic party, zealous in
tariff reform and pledged to an improve
ment in the financial conditions of the
countrv.

ORACEFULLY ACCEPTED.
The Democratic newspapers of New
York were practically solid against Crisp
for the Speakership, with the exception
of the Sun, which espoused the cause of
no .candidate, preferring to leave the
matter entirely to the Democrats of the
Bouse.
Hut Crisp's election could not have
been more gracefully accepted if the
metropolitan newspapers had been for
him from the first. Those sturdy cham
pions of Democracy, one and all, hear
tily congratulate Speaker Crisp upon his
success, and unanimously predict for
him a wise and conservative career iu
his new field of action.
Our New York contemporaries express
* vain regrets. The choice of the party
is their choice, and they urge both wings
of the Democracy to flap together at
once. This is manly and sensible. It is
the good old fashioned way.—Atlaut.i
Constitution.
Wk would very much like to see a late
picture of Speaker Crisp in order to sec
what sort of a looking man lie is. Our
esteemed contemporary, the Picayune,
presents him on its first page this morn
ing as quite a handsome young man
with a dapper moustache, and neatly
combed locks brushed back from bis
brow, while the artist in the Times-
Demoerat makes him appear as a stout,
bald-headed man with a double chin.
Hither the pictures have been mixed in
the offices of our contemporaries or

Sullivan in Sun Francisco and Slavin
in Loudon. That doesn’t seem as if the
two master spirits of the ring wilf ever
come together. Still their preliminary
restiveness is a good symptom.
The public is always responsive to
suggestions about the food it eats.
Great interest lias been taken in the in
vestigations made^by’the United States
and Canadian governments and by the
different boards of health to show the
purity or impurity of milk, baking pow
ders, spices, and other articles of daily
use in the culinary department of our
households.
•Just now the subject of baking pow
der is claiming public attention. We all
desire pure and wholcsome^bread aud
this cannot he had with; the use of im
pure or poisonous baking powder. There
can be no longer any question that all
the cheaper lower grades of baking pow
ders contain either alum, lime or pirns
phatic acid.
The official analyses by the United
States and Canadian governments have
therefore been studied with interest and
have pretty clearly established the facts
upon this subject. The United States
government report gives the names of
eighteen well-known powders, sumo of
them advertised as pure cream of tartar
baking powders, that contain alum.
The report shows that the Royal bak
ing powder was found the highest in
leavening strength, evolving 100.0 cubic
inches of gas per single ounce of pow
der. There wera eight other brands of
cream of tartar powders tested and their
average strength was 111.5 cubic inches
of gas per ounce of powder
The Canadian government investiga
tions were of a still larger number of
powders. The Royal baking powder
was here also shown the purest and
highest in strength, containing 129:02
cubic inches of leavening gas per ounce
of powder. Niue other cream of tartar
powders were tested, their average
strength being reported to be 89 cubic
inches of gas per ounce
These figures are very instructive to
the practical housekeeper. Tiny indi
cate that the Royal baking powder goes
more than 33 per cent, further in use
than the others, or is ono third more
economical. Still more important than
this, however, they prove this popular,
article has been brought to the highest
degree of purity—for to its superlative
purity tills superiority in strength is
due—and consequently that by its use we
may bo insured the purest and most
wholesome food.
The powders of the lower strength are
found to leave large amounts of inert
matters in the food. This fact is em
phasized by the report of the Ohio State
Food Commissioner, who, while finding
the Royal practically pure, found no
other powder to contain less than 10 per
cent, of Inert or foreign matters.
The public interest in this question
has likewise caused to bo made investi
gations by our local authorities. Prof.
W. S. Haines, of Rush Medical College,
c 'iisulting chemist of the Chicago board
of health, Ills found results similar to
those reported by tlic national and Can
adian authorities I)r. Haines says:
Rush Medical Coli.kuk, Cud ado,
III.—I have recently obtained samples of
the chief baking powders in the market,
and have subjected them to careful
chemical examination to dotermiue their
purity, wholesomeness and leavening
powers. As the result of my test I find
the Royal baking powder superior to all
the others in every respect. It is en
tirely free from all adulteration and un-
wholsomc impurity, and in baking it
gives off a greater volume of leavening
gas than any other powder. It is, there
fore, not only the purest, but also the
strongest powder with which I am ac
quainted.
Walter 8. Halves, M I).,
Consulting Chemist, Chicago Hoard of
Health.
The statistics show that there is used
in t^ie manufacture of the Royal baking
powder more than half of all the cream
of tartar consumed in the United States!
I purposes. The wonderful sale j
thus indicated for the Royal baking |
powder—greater than that of all other j
biking powders combined—is perhaps
even a higher evidence than that already j
quoted of the superiority of this article,
and of its indispensableness t

WASHINGTON LETTER.
A Coll
i<! Pointed
Washington, December 12.—Mr.
Harrison’s annual messages to congress
is a strong bid for renoraiuation at the
hands of his party, and all that now re
mains to make his nomination certain,
is that Mr. Blaine shall write the letter
which the public lias for a year or more
been periodically informed that he was
just on the eve of writing, declaring that
he will under no circumstances accept
the nomination. He may or may not
write such a letter; just now it is again
positively stated that, lie will do so in a
few days.
The
of t.lu
nmendation is
understanding that it would then ad
journ to the following Wednesday. Even
if lie devotes his time entirely to the
subject it is hardly probable that Speak
er Crisp will be able to announce the
committees before the Christmas recess.
The first bill introduced in the senate
was that prepared by Superintendent
Porter, providing for a permanent cen
sus bureau. Mr. Harrison does not men
tion this subject in his message.
There lias been a good deal of nonsense
written about the election of Speaker
Crisp shutting out a prominent candidate
for the demociatic presidential nomina
tion. The national convention only lias
authority to settle that question.
If .Jerry Simpson does not catch
speaker's eye as often as lie wishes, it
will not be because of liis location, as he

heavy piece of timber, when the engine
turned over, and the end of a piece of

such a manner that two of them had
