One reason is I
people like to know
what they a r c eating,
and the composition
of Cleveland’s bak
ing powder is given
on every label.
So many baking pon ders containing
ammonia or alum are widely advertised
as “absolutely pure,” the best way is
to ret use any brand the composition of
which is concealed,

• When the National W. C. T. U
convened in Boston a few days ago,
no Massachusetts Woman Suffrage
\-socialion and the Boston League
tend* red a reception to the Superin
tendent of Franchise aud to other
women Interested in that department.
Among the guests was Mrs. Sibley, of
Augu-ta, Ga., who said, “And now,
thaniel Greene, was the iuventor of
the cotton gin. The grandfather of
Col. J. Coltou Lynes, president, of the
Mllledgeville Military and Agricul

knowledge of the facts.

It is hard to believe it, but it is true
hat in Georgia are educated people
who arts unaware that tiie women of
Wyoming have exercised the right of
suffrage for more than twenty years;
and, now that Wyoming has become
a state, these women are qualified to
vote in the presidential election of
next year. Says ex-Chfef Justice
Fisher f Cbevenne, who has seen the
prac'ical workings ol woman suffrage
in his state, “I wish I could show the

It is just so with the Democrats.
In a recent letter to the Atlanta
ons'ltution a lady of the Industrial
College Faculty, after asserting with
s • ming satis'actiou that the Georgia
g.rls have no vote and do not want
one, proceeded to argue the impor
tance of their education on the ground
t nt. 1 hey will be the trainers of vo
ters. She thereby ranged herself
vii h a numerous class who involun-
rily devise argumeuts for woman
iffrage. If wemen are incompetent
1 he duties of citizenship, they are
ompetent to (he duties of mater-
ty. If they do not, themselves want
a vote they aie incompetent to train
voters. Ad i conversely, she who is
equipped for training others to dis-
1 irge the duties of citizenship is
equipped for discharging those duties
h .self. Indifference to personal own
er?,hip of the ballot is inconsonant
with realization of its power aud of
ie responsibility its possession im-
no-ie-. Seventy-five per cent, of the
of tiie United States are
omen. Historians date the begiu-
i.itr of Rome’s decline from the day
hich her oil 'Zens began to employ
tutors for their children. These
t, png- are worthy to be pondered by
l esinen. They are of more import
tide 1 iseudo-Republic than is tariff
form or bi metallic coinage. Let
llnmhia flatter herself that her
ar— pang led banner forever shall
n.ve;” it is not the less an historical
hat a declining nation does not
ion realize its decline until it
lieu. Not until the mothers of
oe are admitted to the rights
hiHes of citizenship will the
know a real republic or one
i'l .oidufe The product of a
Ids- (I parentage will not and
be a freeman. The slave

Hence we nearly always have a mix
ture of office holders. I have teen
tiie effects of female suffrage, and
instead of being a means of encour
agement to fraud aud corruption, it
tends greatly to purify elections.”

The Knights of labor at their

For ages there has been a prodigal
waste of breath and ink about “wo
man’s refining influence upon man.”
A French writer says, “Women teach
us repose, civility, and dignity.”
With a familiar type of mankind tills
is the extent of susceptibility
“woman’s refining influence.” After
they twain become one flesh it may
in many cases be remarked that, of
the triple lesson she lias taught him,
two-thirds fade from his memory,
and, as if in compensation, he rapidly
becomes a post-graduate in “repose.”
Woman ha- had ou man a superfi
cially refining influence which uiani
fests itself in his apparent defereuce,
and other trivial visibles—hoodwiuk-
ers all. The fact that she herself is in
subjection near nineteen hundred
years after the beginning of the Chris-
tia.11 era does not, commend tiie force
of her “refining influence.” They
who so loudly pronounce her “a thing
complete” and claim for her such
powers divine, do so in politic praise
or affected sentimentalism aud have,
evidently, the least genuine respect
for her. They are the same who con
spire to withhold from her the only
po ition in which such pnwe s, if she
has them, could tie effectually em
p'oyed. After ages of “woman’s re
fining inttu nee" there is to da)
widely distributed species of mankind
wiio -s more thoughtful ot her honor
than his own. He would have her
regard this as a high order of “chiy
airy,” but the woman of understand
iug does not so eonArie it.

The Speaker of tiie House, i- h
was escorted to the Speaker’- onan
af er having been elected t>\
unanimous vote ..f die dem i
Represen'atiyes today, was gi
by salvo after salvo if apolau- i'- ih (
the floor and from the gailene-. d j
from the earnest manner fn win.- he
was applauded by every d- . - |
in the chamber, it. was nppaivn t‘.at }
the long aud hoMy contested tiglu lu i
the caucus—the longest 'or uninv
years had left no bad bloo<4 Hinm.g
the friends of the defeated candid res.
Another noticeable and eo.u-
mandable thing is that, lie (m u >s
of the v'ctorious candidate
have shown no disposition to crow
ove.r the friends of those who wer>-
defeated. The democrats of the
House are today a muted aud com
pact body, aud there is evert . ros
pect of their rema'nlugsiich, not with
tanding the herculean efforts o the
republicans to create dlscor.i, an -
failing in that, to create the public
impreesfon that there is discord.
The Speaker’s desk was liter Ily cov
ered with flowers, sent by udurriug
frieuds, a few minutes a. ter lie took
his seat. The first, busiuess after th.
election of th" Speaker was the el o-
tion of the other House officers. The
retiring republic ollcials were all
given the complimentary nominal ion
of their party, although i is
known that some of the republicans
were opposed to so honoring Mr.
Reed
Never was the circus which is al
ways a part of the drawing by lottery
fpr seats in the House on the first day
of a new Congress, more eujoyed Ojr
the members and spectators t< >au it
was today, aud theriug-leaders in the
fun were mostly the men whose uerves
bad been racked to their utmost ten
sion during the long uncertain period
of the Speakership contest in caucus
Thq guyety of the members today
wak therefore but the natur
al reaotion of nature. The
spectators in tiie galleries also took
part in thesport. When the members
were all huddled up in the open spaces
behind the seats and the blind-folded
boy made his appearance to begin
drawiug the numbered marbles out oi
ihe box, such remarks as: "You’ll get
pulledforruuning a lottery”, “where’s
the oops,” and “Wanamaker will be
after you,” might have been heard in
ail parts of the galle-ies, and even up
on the floor of the House.
Never before were there so many
new faces in a single Congress, and
in consequence there has been an un
usual run on the first e.ti'iori of the
Congressional Directory. Every hod)
wants to find out something ub mi the
unknown men. The occupations of
the Representatives, as given in tiie
Directory, show that the lawyers are
still in the majority, there being 213
<vho are owners of legal “sheepskins.”
Farmers came next, with 65, school
teachers 42, merchants 24, muuufac
Hirer.-20, hunkers and capitalists 19,
journalists 10, printers 9, physicians
5, sailors 3, clergymen 2, 1 miner, 1
machinist,1 blacksmith, 1 bookbinder,
1 earpenter, 1 tanner, 1 car flnishei
and 1 harnessmaker. Tiie total of
occupations given is greater than the
membership,but that is because some
of the members have followed more
than one occupation. 9of themember-
were born in Ireland, 3 in Germany,
3 in Canada, 2 in Norway ; 1 in Swed
en, 1 in Greece, 1 in England, and 1 in
Bcotland. It. would be dilficut to get
more representative body to
gether.
The fellow who thinks he knows
what the House is gnirig to do, is as
numerous as usual, but the man who
really knows what the House will do
does not exist. I* will take some
little time for the members to confer
aud arrive at someconclusion. Noth
ing will be done hastily, and nothing
will be done before it has been ap
proved with practical unanimity by
the democratic members. Every mem
ber with whom your correspondent
lias talked appears to fully realize
that, upon the action or nouaotion of
the House may depend tlie election of
a democratic President next year.
The Senate also lias an influx of
new members, there being 16 of them,
including the three Alliance Senators,
Irby, Peffer and Kyle, the first of
whom will vote with the democrats,
