OSKALOOSA, December 8, 1891. —A reciprocity treaty with Mexico on a large scale will be one of the out comes of the winter, it is expected, and the broader the better if Mexico does its share. —Gen. Weaver’s lowa Tribune has been sold to a company of Southern Farmers’ Alliance people, and the Gen. is said not to be in the deal. —The silver question wiU be the chief issue in congress this winter. The democrats are unqualifiedly on record in favor of unlimited coinage and dem ocratic leaders will try in vain to sup press or postpone it. —As Gen. Dodge views it from his home in New York, yet with thorough familiarity with the lowa situation. Gov. Boies’ election was due to the transportation issue more than any other. He says the farmers of the west are disgusted with the operations of the inter-state commerce law, and that its repeal will be an important issue next year. THE WORK WELL BEGUN. The Republican National Committee has taken two initial steps that prom ise well for the campaign of 1892. In the selection of an early date for the convention five months of solid work is secured, and Republicanism is the gainer whenever increased informa tion and education is guaranteed. In the election of James S. Clarkson as permanent chairman of the national committee the best political organizer in the country is on the pilot deck, and a man who, combining fine organizing ability and large political knowledge with an absolutely pure and untarn ished personal character and public in tegrity, is entitled to and will receive the confidence of the nation. It is well in the beginning. It will be well in the end. And let Republicans ev erywhere, by the inspiration of their courage and confidence, strengthen the hands of the chairman and the com mittee to the most forceful of efforts, and most gratifying of results. SPHIKOEH’S PUAy. Springer of Illinois, is a genius. His perennial button-hole bouquet makes him the pink of the democratic side of the House of Representatives. He is the candidate of the Illinois democrats for speaker. He made eleven pro nounced free trade speeches in lowa this fall for the democratic party. It is claimed by his friends, as to the re sult in lowa, “that Springer did it.” And now Springer is not so sure about the tariff after all. He has come out in a published plan in which he favors the reference of the whole mat ter to the committee on manufactures to see if any changes in the tariff ought to be made. He favors having this consider the matter until after presi dential election. Has not the demo cratic party considered the question ? Then why bury its issues with an in vestigating committee? This policy of masterly inactivity will suit the democracy. It is a party of promises. The next thing will be for the democratic con gress to adopt such rules as will enable the republican minority to present all business. The democratic party desires to be put under bonds to keep the peace, it is afraid to trust itself to carry out its own principles. SOME OPINIONS. The Ottumwa Courier asked the opinion of a number of Republicans on the question of the hour, in these words: “In view of the recent Demo cratic victory in lowa, what do you think should be the policy of the small Republican majority in the legislature as to the prohibitory law V The consensus of opinion is that the Republican position on the question is unchanged, and that the duty of the hour is to move along on the old line until something more definite and de cisive has been reached by other meth ods. Richard Clarkson, of the Des Moines Register, thinks that the Republicans “should let the Democrats handle the hot irons, at least until the Republican sentiment of the state has been fully developed.” Sam Clark of the Keokuk Gate City, says that “T..e Republicans in the gen eral assembly cannot reject the views of those who elected them, and the latu.r are largely prohibitionists. The Republican party cannot spend years in building up a temperance and pro hibition sentiment in lowa and turn around and reject and denounce it. If the Republicans in the general assem bly will take the proper pains to put the case fairly and broadly to their constituents there will, or should be very general willingness among Repub licans to substitute local option pro hibition for statewide prohibition. This will save and strengthen both the Republican party and prohibition, as the same policy in the south has kept the dominant Democracy in power yet extended the growth of prohibitory law there.” A. H. Fortune, of the Bloomfield Republican, has an opinion in these words: “I beiievethat the vote on governor and other state officers, this year, clearly indicates that a majority of the people of the state are unwil ling to longer try the experiment of enforcing a state-wide prohibitory law. The claim is made, however, that a Re publican majority in the legislature should be construed as meaning that the law should be retained. I think that a large number of Republicans, in districts where their candidates for the legislature was successful, have placed their desire to control the general as sembly above their convictions on the liquor question, and so voted—to hold the legislature as a matter of party advantage on questions other than temperance, and at the same time giv ing a large vote to the Democratic state ticket to indicate the position on the liqnor question. A majority of the people should rale, and whenever the Democratic majority in the senate shall introduce and pass a measure repealing the present law, Republican members of the house should place no obstacles in the way of its passage by that body also.” A. B. Barnes, of the Albla Union, says that “the policy of the Republic ans of the next house should be to ac quiesce in the decision of the lowa electors, and let the salomg have the ran of the state, unbridled nd free,for the next two years. If the Democrats will not accept this coarse, in lien of prohibitionist the prohibitory law con tinue. Under no circumstances should tbe Republican* accept the Democratic plan of high license, which under Dem ocratic administration implies free whiskey, and monopoly of tbe liquor traffic in the hands of the few,and that few the men who will furnish the boodle to win more Democratic vic tories." Mr. Waite, of the Burlington Hawk eye, thinks that "the will of the major- ity ought to prevail. As it is now, doubt exists as to the wishes of the people of lowa in regard to temperance legislation. How can that wish be more easily, quickly and definitely as certained than by a special,non-partisan election, to be held before the general assembly adjourns, at which shall he one issue and no other: M Prohibition or local option and high license V” If the majority of the people at that election vote for prohibition, that will continue to be the policy of the state. If, on the other hand, the majority vote for local option and high license, it will be a pos itive instruction to the general assem bly and will relieve the Republicans from responsibility in adopting a local option system that will save prohibi tion in every community that wants it. The election ought to be held within sixty days after the general assembly meets so that the necessary legislation may be had at once.’’ Charles J unkin, of the Fairfield Led ger, says that “It is possible that noth ing may be gained by maintaining pres ent ground. It is certain that nothing will be gained by repeal. I could advise no Republican member of the legisla ture, elected on the state platform of this year, to vote for repeal. Let us permit the party of Boies and Bestow to “monkey*’ with the liquor buzz saw, and see if it will perform everything that has been promised on the bills for several campaigns past. IOWA: The philosophic Burrell of the Wash ington Press says that “I’d have the house, as soon asposs ible, adopt a joint resolution and send it to the senate, calling a non-partisan election in JO to 45 days, in which the people should in dicate in unmistakable terms, whether they want prohibition or local option, by vote by counties, and license. The senate would have to show its hand. With the aid of the Independent there who is said to be a prohibitionist, the senate might adopt it and the question could go before the people, as in 1882, before the session could end. Mean while the legislature could do its other work, and when the people’s verdict came in, the general assembly could en act legislation conformable to that pop ular expression. I have no doubt the people would sustain prohibition, and the legislature is so luckily composed, that, in enacting prohibits n, both par ties would be in for it equally, and neither party coaid gain a practical party advantage. In this way, and in this way only, can we get this pesky question “out of politics” and out of politics it should go for our peace.” Hon. Ren Clayton says: “The Re publican members can do no better than to support a resolution favoring the re-submission of a constitutional amendment and leave the responsibil ity of its defeat with the Democratic party. The intelligent people of lowa well understand there can be nothing wrong in submitting any great moral question to the direct vote of the peo ple. Thus we will retain the present prohibitory law, placed there by the direction of the people, until such time as the people, in their sovereign right, vote it up or vote it down.” AMONG OUR NEIGHBORS.

We notice a good many papers in classifying the next legislature, put in two or three independents. An “inde pendent” in our legislature is generally a democrat. The ‘‘independent” part of the business is only to secure repub lican votes at election time. We do not now remember a single independent in either house who has not generally act ed with the democrats. Some times they manifest independence enough to keep out of a democratic caucus bat vote with the democrats to carry caucus measures. There were two independ ents in the last senate, both elected in republican districts by republican votes, and both practically aided the democrats in every partisan matter that came up. And we venture to say that the two so-called independents in the next senate will be against tbe re- Sablicans wherever party lines are rawn. Wherever an independent is endorsed by the democrats and elected in that way. although enough republi can? voted for him to give him his ma jor! ,he will be more of a democrat thai anything else.

WHAT A BUSINESS LETTER STATES. The following business letter from N. G. Taylor 6c Co., makers of Amer ican tin, at Philadelphia, to Messrs. Haw & McPherrin, of this city, con tains so much practical information on the tin question that we gladly give it entire: “We are in receipt of your valued favor of the 7th inst, and in reply beg to say that we shall be only too glad to give you any information you want in regard to the manufacture of Ameri ican Tinplate. Permit us to say that we are making tin i date, and have been for the past three months, at oar factory in Phila delphia. We are at present, owing to the great demand upon us, making the genuine Taylor “Old Style” brand of roofing tin. This is the finest and heaviest coated roofing tin made, every sheet of which is stamped with our name and address in addition to the thickness and the name of the brand. Our firm originated the idea and were the first to put in practice the stamp ing of the name and the brand on sheets of tin, thus affording absolute protection to our property owners, roofers and architects, if any of our brands are specified, they are obliged to be used, as deception is impossible, for after the work is completed, one has simply to examine the roof and they can see whether the brand specifi ed has been used or not. To return to the subject in question, our position as manufacturers is en tirely different from any other firm. We have for many years owned or con trolled our special brands of roofing tin, and in place of having them made 3,000 miles away, by foreign labor, we have transfered the plant to Philadel phia and are now having the goods made under our own personal super vision by our own men and under our own formulas. This we think you will agree with us is far more satisfactory than having them made across the water. The thought of making tin plates oc curred to us several years ago. The new duty spurred us on and now our fixture in Philadelphia has come to stay. We are already looking around for larger and more comodious quar ters, and in addition to making a fine high grade of roofing tin, it is our am bition to place upon the market an ex tra fine quality of pure, bright tin for kitchen utensils and a fine high grade of work. We have always enjoyed the privi lege of selling the very finest bright tin on the market, the Henry brand and the Tayloriredripped,tissue paper pack ed, but we wish to make a still better grade, and this we propose doing before many months. In short, as far as we are concerned, the tin plate industry in Philade'phia has come to be a fixed fact. We might here say that we are using American sheet steel, made by one ot the most prominent mills of western Pennsylvania. We have also just re ceived a shipment of American pig tin taken f r om theTemescal mines of Cali fornia. We also use American lead, American wood for the boxes, Ameri q"~ -.ails American workmen, etc.,and u es not constitute American tin plate, we do not know what does. On July Ist when the new duty went into effect, we issued a circular letter to the effect that although the dutv was increased from one cent per pound to two and two-tenths cents, we made no advance on the price of the genuine Taylor “Old Style” of roofing tin, the brand which our house has always owned and controlled. It has always been our desire to lower the price to consumers, as we want everyone who desired a tin roof, and everyone natur ally desires a good one, to use the gen uine Taylor “Old Style” brand. This will be our aim in the future. Following, then, the natural law of supply and demandjof the manufacture of the necessary articles of life, do you not think that the imposing of a mod erate tariff bas the effect ultimately of cheapening that particular article ? The object of a protective tariff is not to in crease the value of an article, but to af ford facilities for making it here, so t’'*t by competition its value can be reduced. Possibly we are digressing from the subject and your inquiry has simply been referred to us out of curi osity, but in connection with the above take the item of steel nails. Only a few years ago they were selling in the neighborhood of $56 a ton. Under the fostering influence of protection and the consequent stimulus of American invention, they have gone to about S2B and even less. Cannot tin plates follow the same courseV It seems to us that the United States is capable of manufacturing everything it consumes. Should we nr f therefore, encourage that industry that v »rings wealth to our workmen, that fosters capital within its shores and supplies our men with the neces saries of life? Whether one be for or against the manufacture of tin plate, we think he will agree with us in these two facts: First:—lf the industry keeps capital home and affords employment to our fellow beings, it should be encouraged, and especially, Second:—lf we are able to make a better plate than the imported at no advance in price, which fact, crude as it is at present, seems to be done, at least as far as we are concerned. We trust you will pardon the length of our letter, but we hope we have ex plained somewhat in a rambling way our position. Meanwhile, we beg to subscribe our selves manufacturers for the purpose of reducing p'.ces, not advancing them. Very truly yours, N. G. Tavlob & Co. lOWA'S COAL FIELDS.

The United States and Cana* dian Governments Analyze the Baking Powders. OuipufttiTt Strength ud Parity of the Different Brands Officially Prof, Haines, Consulting Chemist of the Chicago Board of Health, Gives His Opinion. From Chicago Tribune. The pablic is always responsive to suggestions about the food It eats. Great interest has been taken in the investigations made by the United States and Canadian governments and by the different boards of health to show the purity or impurity of milk baking powders, spices, and other arti cles of daily use in the culinary depart ment of our households. Just now the subject of baking pow der is claiming public attention. We all desire pure and wholesome bread and this cannot be had with the use of impure or poisonous baking powder. There can be no longer any question that all the cheaper, lower grades of baaing powders contain either alum, lime or phosphatic 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, some 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 160.6 cubic inches of gas per single ounce of pow der. There were 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 (Janadian 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 129.32 cubic inches of leavening gas per ounce of powder. Nine 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. They indi cate that the Royal baking powder goes more than 33 per cent further in use than the others, or is one-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 this superiority in strength is due—and consequently that by its use we may be insured the purest and most wholesome food. The powders of lower strength are found to leave large amounts of inert matters in the food. This fact is em phacized 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 be made investi gations by our local authorities. Prof. W. S. Haines, of Rush Medical College, consulting chemist of the Chicago Board of Health, has found results similar to those reported by the nation al and Canadian authorities. Dr Haines says: Rush Medioal College Chicago, 111.—I have recently obtained samples of the chief baking powders in the market, and have subjected them to careful chemical examination to deter mine their purity, wholesomeness and leavening power. As the result of my tests I find the Ropal baking powder superior to all the others in every re spect. It it entirely free from all adul teration and unwholesome impurity, and in baking it gives off a greater vol ume of leavening gas than any other powder. It is, therefore, not only the purest, but also the strongest powder with which I am acquainted. Walter s>. Haines, M.D., Consulting chemist, Chicago Board of Health. The statistics show that there is used in the manufacture of the Royal bak ing powder more than half of all the cream of tartar consumed in the Unit ed States for all purposes. The won derful sale thus indicated for the Royal baking powder—greater than that of all other baking powders combined—is perhaps even higher evidence than that already quoted of the superiority of this article, and of its indispensable ness to modern cookery. —Mathias Post, of the G. A. It., at Burlington, has adopted these resolu tions, which might sensibly be copied by every post in Iowa: Resolved, that we recognize the ad mirable foresight and wisdom of the general assembly of our state in dele gating to a committee of her most dis tinguished citizens the task of deciding as to commemorating the services of lowa soldiers in the late rebellion. The decision in favor of a monument reached by the committee and endorsed by the lowa Woman’s Monument asso ciation, meets with our hearty approv al, and in the interest of harmony and success we sincerely hope that the posts of the Grand Army of the Republic throughout the state will unanimously sustain their action, so that by a unit ed front we may more certainly secure favorable legislation on this subject by the next general assembly. Sugar in Oub’n.— Sam Evans in his Ottumwa Sun is kind enough to say: “Mr. Albert W. Swalm, of the Oska loosa Herald, has given great attention to sugar beets,and during the past year not only raised them himself as an ex periment, but was instrumental in get ting Mahaska county farmers to try it. The results seem satisfactory; they in dicate that the soil of this locality is favorable for producing sugar. Mr. Swalm is acting ; the part of a true phi lanthropist in his efforts. He has trav eled at his own exp snsejectured, wrote and experimented. His is a work that will live long after l u. There will be many who will not a reciate such la bors, but Swalm cares%ittie for that. He is one of those Horace Greeley kind of men, who work right along for man kind without hoping or caring for re ward. They hope for it in heaven.” Accident.— Number four on the lowa Central struck a wagon just this side of Fremont this Friday morning, demolishing it and seriously injuring one of the occupants, Chas.

The train was about half an hour late, which made it necessary for Nos. 1 and 4 to pass at Fremont in place of Hedrick, as is their custom. The boys were watching No. 1 and drove across the track directly in front of the other train. Drs. Nugent and Clark were taken down from this station on a special.

THE RAMBLER. The Rambler has been asked a num ber of times why those cement slabs are permitted to be on the court house walk—giving the building and walks a dilapidated appearance and tripping up about nine out of every ten people who go along there. He is frank to say he don't know why, but it looks as though it ought to become somebody’s business to remove them. This puts him in mind of another question asked by a lady the other morning and that is “why the city drays are permitted to stop on the southwest corner of the park in such a manner as to make it necessary for pedestrians in crossing the park to crawl under the fence or go zigzag between wagons and horses and mules heels half way across the street.” The Rambler don’t know. Perhaps somebody can give a reason. The Rambler notes that chrysanthe mum parties and weddings are all the rage now. The occasions are so named from a profusion of that beautiful flower which decorates the house and give everything a beautiful and bright appearance. The chrysanthemum is a scentless flower and its blossoms are the subject of much adoration of as any of the previous floral favorites. In their infinite variety of color and form the flowers are peculiarly adapted for exhibition purposes. They come when other flowers have passed away and to many the absence of perfume is a rec ommendation. The chrysanthemum is a hardy, hustling sort of plant, and the way in which it has fought its way into popular favor is very American. It was the Rambler’s good fortune to attend a party the other evening, which so far has escaped the notice of the city press. A game was played, the title of which has escaped his memory, unless it was authors, but he knows it was very interesting. About thirty took part though the number could have been extended indefinitely. Fifty titles had been selected by the hostess, and their representations carefully prepar ed. Each player having been provided with a paper on which there were fifty blanks for these titles, at the signal we entered the room where the objects and pictures were displayed. But it was no easy task to solve all the puzzles be fore us. Some titles were known at once, others remained unguessed to the end. Among the objects and titles were such as these: A candle on the map of Asia repre sented “The Light of Asia.” A large wb ; te cardboard with a tiny 2 on it w&o “We Two.” A picture of a mill dam, and a white bead on the top of the picture was “Adam Bede.” A little ladder with a toy monkey on the top round, and a toy man at the foot, was “The Descent of Man.” The word sin in red ink was “A Car dinal Sin.” The sheet music of “Yankee Doodle” was “American N otes.” An O half concealed in a bunch of ferns was “Inferno.” A toy donkey, an O, and some tea leaves was Donkey-o-t—“ Don Quixote/ Some vocal music thrust through the handles of several keys was “Songs in Many Keys.” A pie upon some ears of corn was “Pioneers.” A burnt-out candle in a candlestick was “The Light that Failed.” Some dolls iu ball costume, rougeing their faces before a mirror, was “Mod ern Painters.” Some half dollars,quarters and dimes was “The American Commonwealth.” And so the title ran on, some difficult, some causing much fun and all inter esting. The possibilities of this game are seen at a glance. With brightness and ingenuity many very puzzling and amusing effects can be worked up. There are two good rules to be en forced. The time for guessing should be limited, and communication while guessing strictly forbidden, else the first prize is likely to go to some one who has assisted by the guess of others and the conscientious player has no chance. Other adaptations of this game might be to titles of poems, quotations, eta But the best seems to be in titles of standard or reasonably well knownjaot obscure, books. R.
