IV? No Substitutes For Royal Baking Powder. The "Royal" is shown by all tests, official, scientific, and prac tical, stronger, purer, and better in every way than all other Baking Powders. Its superiority is privately acknowledged by other manufac turers, and well known by all dealers. If some grocers try to sell another baking powder in place of the " Royal," it is because of the greater profit. This of itself is good evidence - of the superiority of the "Royal." To give greater profit the other must be a lower cost powder, and to cost less it must be made with cheaper and inferior materials, and thus, though selling for the same, give less value to the consumer. LOOK with suspicion upon every attempt to palm off upon you any baking powder in place of the " Royal." There is no substitute for the " Royal."

Bluegrass Letter in the New York Tribune: If you want to stir a distil ler to eloquence all you have to do is to ask him how he regards himself as a moral agent. The industry has beenso long established in this state that no native thinks of raisin? the point, and its Leading lights sutler under no such social stigma as attaches to them, for in stance, in Massachusetts. '•Do I think whisky-making immoral?" says, a -'church -pillar," whose yearly production runs into the tens of thou sands barrels. "No, why should I? Man has always had some kind of alcholic beverage from the day of Noah up. Look at the French. Thousands of them live by the culture of the grape, and other thousands by 'swapping' with them articles needed for the production of wine. In Germany beer is drank as wat r is drank in America. Did the [ Germans who fought at Gr yelotte and Sedan seem to have been injured by it? Look at Bismarck, with his distilleries, the Chartreuse monks, with their liq ueurs, and the Metternichs, with t her vineyards. Outside of supernatural personages there is nobody, perhaps, that we revere more than Washington. . Yet he owned and operated a distillery. So did good old Andrew Jackson. Why. then, should we be ashamed? If this thing has become a crime, when was it made so, and who formulated the edict? Think of the thousands of acres in American vineyards that would be closed up if we abolished it, and given over to the birds ami the beasts. Think ot the coopers and the hoop-iron makers that would be thrown out of work, and of the farmers who would be injured by our failure to use the crop sur plus, which, after all, regulates the prices of the general market sup ply. I'll tell you where the injurious use of whisky comes in— in its abuse. And who abuses it? Those of the low est aider of morality. True, a gifted man sometimes goes to pieces, but gift ed men sometimes go to pieces from other causes than that. No. I've thought about this morality business as much as anybody, and I know what 1 am talking about. If old Socrates were to come back to earth he would class whisky among the useful things and not among the useless. The corner stone of temporal government, yes, and of spiritual government, too. is free agency and individual responsibility. .Shall we nevertheless ask the state to tie our hands with prohibitive laws?" THRENODY. Watching here alone by the fire whereat last year , Sat with me the friend that a week since yet was so near, - That a week has borne so far and hid so deep. Woe am I that I may not weep. May not yearn to behold him here. Shame were mine, and little the love I bore him were. Now to mourn that better he fares that love may fare Which desires and would uot have indeed its will. Would not love him so worse than ill. Would not clothe him again with care. Yet can love not choose but remember, . hearts but ache. Eyes but darken, only for one vain thought's poor sake. For the thought that by this hearth's now lonely side Two fast friends, on the day he died, Looked once more for his baud to take. Let thy soul forgive them, and pardon heal the sin, Though their hearts be heavy to think what then had been. The delight that never while they live may be — Love's communion of speech with thee, Soul and speech with the soul therein. Omy friend. O brother, a glory veiled and " marred : Never love made moan for a life more evil . starred. Was it envy, chance, or chance-compelling fate. Whence thy spirit was bruised so late, Bowed bo heavily, bound so hard? Now released, it may be— if only love might know- Filled and fired with sight, it beholds us blind and low "With a pity keener yet. if that may De, Even than ever was this that we Felt, when love of thee wrought us woe. None may tell the depths and the heights of life and death. What we may we give thee; a word that sor- , row saith, ■ And that none will heed save sorrow; scarce a song. All we 1 "may, who have loved thee long. Take : the best we can give is breath. —Swinburne in The Athenaeum. THE WORLD OF WORK. Organized Labor Wants to Know Where it Comes in the New Charter. Penitentiary Talk in the House Indorsed By Min neapolis Workers. Events of the Past Week and Those Scheduled For the Future. Interesting 1 Items of Informa tion Impressed From In dustrial Sources. The new city charter is being con siderably discussed in labor circles. The question most frequently assed is: "Has the eight-hour clause been in corporated?*' Nobody seems to know. Any information on the subject will be thankfully received. Among the new appointments by Mayor Smith, are many resoected citi zens; but where are the representatives of the industrial forces? They don't seem to understand the new combi nation. Labor legislation is evidently not popular this year and it is doubtful if a single measure will be passed. His tory for use in the next campaign seems to be about the only harvest in sight. As there are three new aldermen to be appointed, aud the mayor seems willing to give all classes representa tion, it would seem fair to select on<: alderman from the ranks of organized labor. No canvass is being made nor candidate mentioned, but such an ap pointment would certainly be regarded ii> a litting recognition of an importaut element in the community. IX MINNEAPOLIS. Items of Interest. The trade aud labor assembly held an interesting nieeting Friday evening. The report of the prison investigating committee was the principal subject of debate. The following resolution from the house committee of investigation was heartily indorsed: We believe that whatever iv the abstract may be the advantages- or disadvantages of the contract system uuder other conditions iasto which we express no opinion), it is not and will not be to the states advantage to longer ietaiu it under present circum stances, aud therefore recommend that the law be so changed that no new contract be entered into after the present one shall terminate, but tnat the prisoners be employed at state accounts. From considerations of a likenaiureand from the evidence before us we are convinced that, with the views they enter tain, thf present board of mauaeers cannot make a success of the prison under the state account system, as the management seems to lack some essential elements needed iv such an undertaking, and therefore we. with some reluctance, and yet with a belief in its necessity, recommend that the board of man agers be abolished, aud some ottier board of ctnlrol be substituted in its place. The assembly did some earnest work two years ago in trying to have the state account system well started, and has always held the opinion that the sys tem was not getting a fair trial. The investigation by the legislature seems to corroborate this opinion. The fol lowing resolution was adopted by the assembly: Resolved. Tliat we extend our thants to the state prison Investigating committee of the house of representatives for the; thorough and painslakine manner in which they have opened to the light ot day the corrupt add treasonable transactions of the state prison ring of this state by the connivance, if not by the direct assistance' of tbe board of prison managers. We consider the report a final and conclusive argument against the con tract system of convict labor, and favor the actual" establishment of the state account system at the. prison on a business basis. The killinsrof miners by the militia at Mt. Pleasant, Pa., was also discussed. Several members of the assembly from personal experience were familiar with the situation at the mines, and, know ing the Hard conditions under which the miners live, thought that some dis cretion should be used before resorting to military law. The followi n<; resolution was adopted: Resolved, That the butchery of seven workiiuinen of Mount Pleasant, Pa. the other day can be taken as a warning to every workinginan that our demands for justice are apt to be met by the reciprocity of cold lead. We hope' that the brutal murder of these men will' not be approved by the courts, or press, or clergy. Resolved. That we appeal to all patriotic citizens to enlist in the work of so adjusting the conditions to make strikes unnecessary; to devise some means of stopping this dis graceful killing of men. who, in their ignor ance, see no other way of getting justice than by striking, if freedom of speech and right of assemblage are to be maintained, etc. The assembly discussed the advisa bility of holding a mass meeting to dis cuss state prison affairs, but no definite action was taken. « » * The wood and machine workers have just organized a flourishing union. The charter is on the way, and Wednesday evening the union will meet to maico its organization permanent and install its officers. The meeting will be held at 2(ib Central avenue. The tin sheet iron and cornice work ers held a special meeting Friday even ing at the Labor Temple. There seems some foundation for the belief that the employing cornice workers of Duluth and the Twin Cities have formed a combination to enforce the ten-hour day and keep wages at the present rate. At the meeting Friday evening the men seemed all determined to resist this ac tion on the part of employers, but deemed it advisable to haye a commit tee in each city which will try every means of arriving at an amicable settle ment before any extreme measures are adopted. The men feei confident that they will be successful. The plumbers are not saying much, but the air of quiet content and satis faction with which the journeyman plumber goes about his duties lately speaks volumes for the trood times com ing. and the word "strike" is not on the cards either. « # * Since the visit of President Gompers. of the A. F. of L.. the retail clerks have begun to take uew interest in the matter of organizing. A movement is on foot to organize a union attached to the national organization recently perfected at Detroit. .Several dealers were inter viewed, and heartily favored early clos ing, provided the clerks will organize and show some disposition to make the movement a permanent one. Several of the clerks in the leading stores are dis cussing the matter, and will probably call a meeting soon and take some d finite action. Prof. De Leon, the national socialist lecturer, delivered an interesting ad dress last Sunday evening at the social ist hall, ±23 Washington avenue south, lie is a scholarly man, although not a brilliant speaker: but seems to have a great deal of faitu in socialistic rem edies. He thought socialism would srrow yearly more popular, because it is the true "remedy for existing evils. The address proved very interesting, and will probably make some converts to the socialists' cause. COMING EVENTS. The S. M. Owen Alliance club meets this afternoon at labor headquarters at 3 o'clock. The committee on organiza tjon will report and independent poli tics will be discussed. Owing to this nieeting. the Labor lyceiun will omit its usual session. The co-operative hall board meets to- morrow evening at 8 p. m. at .- labor ' headquarters. The. secretary will make. the regular monthly report and routine business will be transacted. The halls are _ being steadily rented and the ; financial affairs of .the "board are in a flourishing condition.' EVENTS OF THE WEEK. The Carpenters' union, held an open meeting Thursday evening 1 for the pur pose of creating an interest among car penters in favor of organization. E. C. " Ives, George M. Mailer and L.P. Robin .sou delivered short addresses. I 1 * : The Shoemakers' assembly held its regular meeting at Labor hall, Thurs day evening. A report of trade shows the assembly 111 a prosperous condition, ' nearly all men employed in the trade - members of the union. Owing to this state of affairs, one of the factories which had posted up a set of obnoxious rules recently caused them to be re moved^and somewhat friendly relations are again established. ** # • fi< The waiters' union met at Labor ha 11 Wednesday evening and initiated six new members. « ♦ » The painters' union held a special meeting Tuesday evening and initiated several new members. They also adopt ed the proposition of the employers to : work nine hours a day. beginning with April 1. The question of wages has not yet been considered, but it is ex pected that an early adjustment will be made. * •*• * The barbers' union held an open meeting Monday evening to . discuss several measures of importance to the craft. A number of boss barbers were also in attendance. Sunday closing.the closing of shops evenings and the means for raising the prices were subjects that came up for consideration. It was de cided to appoint a committee to act with a similar one from the boss barbers' union to secure an understanding on questions of mutual interest. Action was also taken to organize a .colored barbers' union in St. Paul ia the near ■ future. -^SiSfisSßSSggißa * * * The lecture of Samuel Gompers at Harris theater last Monday evening was an event to be long .remembered in labor circles. President Gompers' many years of practical experience in indus trial affairs has tended to give his lect ures a practical rather than theoretical drift, but this only makes his speeches the more acceptable to the trades unions in the West, which have to fight the same battles already won to some ex tent-in the East. '■•'■.-* *.•;■:'•,' ' ■* The tin, sheet iron and cornice work ers are getting ready: for the spring trade and a great deal _of activity is shown in this preparation. There are about 350 skilled men "employed in the different branches of the trade in St. Paul. They are thoroughly organized and in common with other skilled trades are agitating for shorter hours. : There tire indications -that: a . strike may be necessary in .order to accomplish "this result. Not because the cornice.work ers are pining for a chance to be idle, or that they wish to have any . unpleasant ness with employers,. The : cornice workers have been idle nearly all win ; ter and would like to see -spring work open briskly and stay that way all summer: but they are not anxious to work longer hours nor for lower wanes than they did last summer. Last year they worked nine hours, and this year they want another hour of leisure each day. The employers were given ample notice of the proposed change, so that -their contracts could be made on the basts of the eight-hour day. Up to date they do not seem to appreciate the con sideration and forbearance shown by the union, but insist on a return to the ten-hour day. This makes jiie cornice workers smile, One or them remarked: "Unless eight . hours is our work day this summer, ; there will" be a noticeable absence of \ cornice and sheet iron work in the build ing trade. St. Paul may follow the ex ample of Chicago last summer and leave its new buildings without cornice work. That plan kept a good man cornice workers idle in Chicago last 'summer, and this year their demand for eight \ hours has been granted, and there is ] such a demand for skilled- mechanics j there that most of our men could find employment at very good wages in that city should there be any delay in. get ting the eight-hour day in St. Paul. We do not. however, anticipate any real trouble. The employers know that we are thoroughly organized, and our treas ury is in a nourishing condition, so that I it would be much more inconvenient to the general public than to ourselves in case of a strike. We are not asking any thing unreasonable. . All skilled trades are obtaining shorter hours, and such a custom invariably adds to the prosperity of all concerned instead of detracting from it. We hope to see the matter amicably settled within a few days." w * ir ■ . :, • Last Monday evening the cigarmak ers' union gave its annual ball at Mar ket hall. Despite the unpleasant weather the hall was crowded, about 300 couples being present. Kleist's orches tra furnished a pleasant dance pro gramme of twenty-two members. The various committees looked after the en (ainment of the guests, and did much to make the affair a success. - The com mittees were: Arrangement, William Jones. J. C. Alemann and H.

F. of L., and each member in good standing will be per mitted, and, in fact, expected,, to wear one during working hours. The badges are in the shape of a small button hav ng on the face a globe encircled by clasped hands and - the motto "Labor Omnia Yincit." This design is expected to aid the early closing move ment, as customers can see at a glance whether a clerk is a member of the union or not. and the patronage of stores employing union clerks is one of the best methods of aiding any reforms the clerks may be agitating. * w • The trade and labor assembly meets next Friday evening, ana will consider plans for aiding several trades which are getting ready to organize. The build ing trades will also bring up some im portant matters which need adjustment. The grievance committee of the trade and labor assembly will meet at Labor headquarters this afternoon at 2 o'clock. Several important matters are to be, considered, among them an in vestigation into recent violations of the foreign contract labor law. A full at tendance of the committee is requested.

THE NEW YORK LIFE INSUR ANCE COMPANY. William H. Beers, President — Mag nificent Exhibit for 1890. The collection and disbursement of the national income has been a prom nent plank in all party platforms for many years; a favorite theme upon the hustings; the burden of the oracular utterances of the cross-road Solomon; and the shibboleth of the political dem agogue. Every so-called political re former has made proclamation that he could and would solve the problems con nected with the subject, but has usually ended by leaving a worse muddle than he found. In sharp contrast to this war of words and scramble for the "loaves and fishes," are the habits and methods of a great life insurance company like the New York Life. Eschewing the stump speech, the torchlight procession and the dealing with men in the aggregate as imperfect and unsatisfactory, it ' has followed the methods of the wise kin dergarten teacher and taught thrift, economy and the care of loved ones by means of object lessons. These object lessons have drawn pupils from all over the world, till now a mighty host rests i secure under its "piotecting segis." The forty-sixth annual statement of the New York Life Insurance Company is well calculated to inspire among its friends feelings of rejoicing and a higher degree of confidence in the in tegrity and usefulness of the company than at any former period of its success ful history. The one tact that the solidity and reliability of the company are so clearly brought out by this yearly report is of momentous import to man . interested persons on both sides of the Atlantic, including the army of policy holders, which forms an integral part of the company itself. Each "succeeding month adds thereto, indicating the ac celerated momentum of the' business transacted. The New York Life Insurance Com pany, Mr. Win. 11. Beers, president, ranks among the leading financial insti tutions of this country and of the world. Its accumulated money capital comes to its treasury as the wise and deliberate investment of its more than 173,000 policy holders. These persons are prompted in their action by the nobler sentiment of our common humanity. Most of them having assumed the hon orable and responsible relation of heads of families, feel under obligation to make provision for dependent ones in the best available and most secure way. Ihe system of life insurance on the mutual plan opens up a means to this end. • The New York Life has now reached a point in financial strength where failure is impossible. It is destined to go on its beneficent mission with added resources and a wider field of opera tions. Now, the paying out of more than £20,000,000 a year as an honest and earned due to policy holders involves the timely silccor to many bereaved house holds, the keeping together of the family intact, the education of the children and other home bless ings. This yearly disbursement must needs be larger year by year, and as a sequence the area of bright clouds in the social firmament will broaden and extend its cheering rays in the days to come. Speaking of its last year's income, the company well says that "men do not p&y out such sums for nothing." Esti mating one man to a policy,"bver one hundred and seventy-three thousand men have a personal, proprietary inter est in the New York Lite. When we consider that this Company is only forty-six years old, we gather some idea ot the recent progress, pres ent popularity and probable future of life insurance. Uliniiesota. 1.
