WASHINGTON, Feb. 20, 1888.
DEAR Guerra—Of course the letter of
Mr. Blaine unequivocally withdrawing his
name from the Presidential contest, has
been the overshadowing subject-of thought
and discussion at this head centre of
American politics and politicians. All
candid persons concede that Mr. Blaine
truly meant every word he wrote therein.
And to those who knew with what decided
aversion heaccepted the candidacy before,
no surprise is felt, though the deepest re-
gret of his most ardent friends seems t)
be based on the fact that the orrtlook for
his triumphant election next fall seems so
nruclr more assuring than in the last cam-
paign. The Democratic leaders are filled
with unbounded joy, for whatever false
charges 'and accusations tirey may make
against Blaine, it is true there is no man
in the entire republican party they in
reality so mnclr dread. They concede that
it would have been an utter impossibility
to have run any man who could have re-
duced their previous enormous majority
down to so low afigurc as Blaine did.
The hope is expressed on all sides by Mr.
Blainc’s ardent admirers that the nomina-
tion Will be forced upon him, and if done
with anything like unanimity, they assert
tirat he would not refuse to make another
effort to carry his party to victory. The
more conservative yet friendly view of
the situation is that Mr. Blaine, suffering
as he is from nervous exhaustive overwork
or “brain fog," as the physicians some-
times tcrm it, prefers to enjoy a period
of rest and quiet and a restoration to his
former robust mental and physical health,
to all t‘rrc‘official honors his friends could
confer upon him. And that this feeling
so earnestly and sincerely expressed by
him ought to be respected. Doubtlcss
too many republicans who felt prior to the
appearance of his letter that some new
candidate would make a better run, have
now come to the conclusion that we should
not be likely to confer the nomination
upon any one who could make as effectual
a run as Mr. Blaine now that President
Cleveland has forced the tariff question to
the front as the chief issrre in the coming
Presidential campaign. Be these sur-
miscs as they may, the letter has greatly-
inflated the big and little “hoomlets” of
the score or so of the hopeful candidates,
who either directly of themselves or
through friends, are forging to the front
as ready to be nominated for that high
‘oflice. Of all that great number no one
lras been more outspoken, honest and
manly in his admission of a desire to
secure the nomination than Hon. John
Sherman. It can be said with equal truth
that no name is now before the public of
a man better equipped as a statesman,
unfaltcring Republican, of anything like
equal experience in ’public life. In the
minds of all, he stands first as to promin-
ence in the race at this moment. He is
seriously handicapped by the candidacy
of that gallant and everywhere popular
soldier, Gen. Foraker, of his own State,
who is sure to be pressed before the con-
vention with wild enthusiasm. Then there
are Allison, Ingalls, Lincoln, Gresham,
Cullom, Depew, Hiscock, Hawley, and
others, with earnest advocates. It is an
interesting fact that with Sherman, Ingalls,
Allison, Lincoln and Cullorn, our Gen.
Hawley is sure to be named as a sort of
military tail to their Presidential kite.
While with Foraker, Chauncy Depcw is
usually harnessed as second on the ticket,
and if it be a New York Republican. he
wants Depcw for first place and For-alter
for second.
Mr. Blaine’s holiest purpose clearly was
to take himself out of the fierce struggle
so as to leave his friends and party in that
convention free to select whomsoever they
should deem best. So it cannot now be
said that he is in anywise standing hat in
lraud, and by indirection seeking a nomi-
nation. But should his party conclude
him to be our strongest candidate and
force a nomination upon him, some of his
nearest friends admit that wirile it would
be a disappointment and to him a sin-
cerely rcgretful circumstance, yet that he
would yield his personal wisires and make
as gallant a fight for victory as possible.
In suclr an (31'1an it seems as conceded
that Gen. Foraker would take second
place on the ticket. Lots of things are
likely to happen herein before the conven-
tion in June, and it may be possible that
little Connecticut may be moved up to
first place among candidates are that time.
IN THE suxxrn.‘
The Blair Educational Bill passed the
Senate by ten majority. Gen. IIawley
opposed it in an able “constitutional'r
speech. forgetful of the fact that about
everything has been ruadc constitutional
in Congress that if desired to pass. Serr-
ator-Biair got back at the General wrth
some heat, charging that he, Hawley, was
among the first and most earnest of its
progenitors, and that the very first meeting
for its reception was held at IIawley’s
house. Webster is credited with the re-
mark that any great statesman had a right
to change front after a night's refreshing
sleep, and several besides Ilawley seem to
have taken advantage of the Webster-i111
privilege. The President’s organ, the
Democratic Washington Post, here almost
wentinto afit of hysteria over the fact
that wlriic Plait voted with the majority
of his party, lIawlcy broke from the ranks,
and so gave the General this first-class
puff :
Among the comparatively few statesmen
who deem it. worth their while to offer
any opposition to centralization, {cw are
more able and none more earnest than
Senator ilau‘ley, of Connecticut. lie is
faithful among the l'ailhli ss. When Dc-
rnocrals forget the traditions of their party
so far as to vote for the most dangerous
anti-State rights measure ever presented
in Congress, this New England Republican
rises to the height of the occasion and
utters-words worthy to be inscribed in
letters of gold on Democratic altars.
Mr. IIawley’s speech against the Blair
abomination on the 14th instant is saturated
with the essence of gemrinc Democracy.
Had a South Carolina Senator uttered the
same words he would have been treated
to any number of lectures in Republican
papers on Calhounism. If there are any
Democratic Representatives who have not
made up their minds how to vote on the
Blair monstrosity we advise them to read
l-Iawley’s speeclr—to go to a New England
Republican for a splendid lesson on De-
mocratic duty. One section of the bill re—
quires State officials to report to Federal
officials in relation to schools. Mr. Haw-
lcy gave the following as the only report
a Connecticut government could make :
“I have the honor to refer you to the history of
11115 commonwealth IOI‘ IIIC last one hundred and
fifty years to show you that it has never been in
the habit of reporting to any one how we treat the
people of this State.”
Ichrr.11a\\'ley were half as sound on
the tariff issue as he is on the question of
State rrglrts, hrs nomination by the Re—
pubhcans for the Presidency would be a
tempting bid for Democratic votes.
Senators lngails and Teller are expected
to speak this week on the President’s free
trade message.
ravens AND HARBORS.
Congressman Granger and ex-Congress-’
man E. W. Seymour, with Capt. McNeil, of
Iridgeport, with Capt. W. J. Stevens, of
Five Mile River, were before the River

for clearing out Black Rock Harbor, and
Capt. Stevens for an appropriation for
clearing Five Mile River llarbor. They

Tire following bit of interesting, but in-
acurate information has been going the
general round of newspaperdorn :
Ex-Governor Tom \Valier, of Connecti-
cut is well compensated for being crowded
out of his gubernatorial seat at Hartford.
The official figures show that his salary as
Consul—General at London is $6,000 and
his fees for 1886 were $67,518. That is
consider'ably’more than Grover Cleveland
gets per annum and there are some people
who had much rather have caslr than
glory.
It is true that our bright and genial little
ex-Governor receives a salary of $6,000,
brrt 1110861518 of fees he reported for 1886
was every cent of it turned in to the
Treasury of the U. S., as are all the Con-
sular fees of all our Consuls under exist-
ing law, brrt there are certain legal allow—
ances and services rendered by the London
Cousrri of a somewhat personal character,
and for which he is permitted to charge,
that usually swells the net income of that
Counsnlate tip to from twenty to twenty-
five thousand dollars. If this were not so
no representative of our Government, un-
less a man of wealth, could live in that ex-
pensive capital and render expected social
and other service to his countrymen.
Still the net income of the London Consul-
ate is decidedly in advance of a Connecti-
cut Govcrnor’s salary and emoluments.
PERSONAL.
Senator Teller, who is one of the plain,
practical, common-sense men of the Senate
and a man of the people, denounced secret
sessions of the Senate so soundly that he
brought Gen. Hawley to his feet; never-
theless secret sessions are one of the things
that have got to go and the sooner the
old fogy system of secresy perishes from
the earth the better.
Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Hill dropped in upon

Chairman Wm. 11. Barnum, of the De.
mocratic National Committee, iras engaged
Willard‘s Hall for a meeting of his com-
mittee on Wednesday to determine the
time and place of holding their Presiden-
tial nominating convention. President
Cleveland knowing this, “takes to the
woods.” He and Mrs. C. go to Florida in
a special train.
The President sends $25 10 the Grand
Army Fair, and writes that he wishes it
distributed among the needy veterans of
the late war, their widows and children.
Some of the veterans are ungallant enough
to remark that the President sent $1,000
towards helping Tammany Hall's “Re-
form” ticket in the late N. Y. election.

Great Fun for the Children.
Before eight o’clock Saturday morning,
4th inst. the school children began to
gather on Middle street. in the rear of
the D. M. Read Co.’s store.
determined to be in time to take the sleigh
ride which had been promised them by
Major Road. As the pointers of the clock
neared the hour of nine, which was the
time the first load was advertised to start,
children of all sizes, ranging in age from
six years to fourteen, dcckcd in lrats and
cloaks representing almost every color be-
gun to troop in from all directrons. .The
crowd swelled rapidly until there wcre
eight irundrcd in the throng of youngsters,
crowding, pushing, yelling, blowing tin
horns, and otherwise making tumult and
enjoying themselves In customary boy
fashion. The girls were got in line on the
sidewalk, and tickets distributed which
entitled them to a place in a sleigh, but
the boys were not so easily dealt with.
Each one was anxious to get the first
ticket and a great scramble forprecedence
was the result. About nine o’clock six
barges drew up in front of the crowd and
the holders of the first lot of 300 tickets
were quickly packed into the sleighs like
sardines. Each barge contained all the
way from thirty to one hundred children.
Many of the urchins aruused themselves
by .blowrng their fishhorns close to the
ears of those who had the misfortune to
be near them. Tire sieiglrs went down
Main street. Tire route driven over irr-
eluded Main street to Sea Side park, and
around the park. The first load arrived
back about 10:39. The crowd of fur
irundrcd which was left had increased to
nearly double that number, and still the
children continued to come. The children
on the second trip were packed in even
more closely than on the first. Four trips
were made altogether, the last one being
finished about half—past one o'clock. It is
estimated that more tlrari 1,500 school
children were taken in the four trips.—

“There Is no Cure but Maniac. I"
How rrrauy a pernpous old fraud, with
an M. D. attached to his name, has offered
this time-dishonored prescription to a pale
haggared girl, suffering from tlreills of
womanhood? How many a wretched hell
on earth has thus been started! for no
marriage can be blessed, either to bus-
band or wife which is taken as apill.
Out upon such quackery! There is a
cure for suffering women—a cure which
will make marriage the greatest of earthly
blessings, and home the sweetest of Edens.
Its name is Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pro-
scription. Just try it, and see the black
clouds of life roll away before the glowing

Facts for the Guidance of the Public in
the Selection of a Food Preparation—
The True Interpretation of the results
the Analysis made by the Ohio State
Oflciais of the Baking Powders—Ex-
Commlssioner Hurst Speaks.
COLUMBUS, 0., Jan. 25, 1888.
To 'rrru PUBLIC:—
My attention has been called frequently
of late to the Royal Baking Powder Corn-
pany’s perversion of the official analysis
ruade by the Ohio Dairy and Food Corn-
missrou of thirty brands of baking powder.
I had previously seen their garbled, false,
and misleading statembnts, however, and
had published in the Ohio State Journal
an article denouncing their statements and
deductions as being most perversely false.
I was at that time an officer of the state,
however, and could go no further than
simply to expose the falsity of their state-
nrerrts, and denounce their abuse of an im-
partial official paper. Soon thereafter,
however, I resigned the commissionersirip
to accept other responsible work.
I now observe that the Royal Company
is causing the false and unfair statement to
be published still more widely than ever in
the local newspaper press, asa pard ad—
vertisement—it being so worded as to ap—
pear as a sort of semi—official document.
Against such a false showing—against
such impudeucc and cupidity in pervert-
iug an official paper I protest; and now,
as a citizen, free from the restraints of
official impartiality, I feel free to give the
true interpretation of the results of tirose
analysis, as it reflects upon the relative
merits of the several brands of powder
analyzed by the Commission.
The Royal Baking Powder Company,
in comparing its analysis of their powder
with others as to the amount of gas pro-
duced, drops the Cleveland’s out of the
list (doubtless because that powder was
proven to be richer in gas product, or in
leavcuing power, than theirs,) and com-
pares their goods with the cheaper and
inferior grades of baking powder. Brit in
comparing as to residuum left in the bread
they include the Cleveland brand. And
here is their falsification most glaring.
The slightly increased percentage of
residuum in Cleveland’s baking powder is
due to the large amount of pure cream of
tartar and bicarbonate of soda it contains,
and, considered in connection with its
richness of carbonic acid gas, the leaveu-
ing agent (it contains the lrrglrcst per cent-
age of carbonic acid gas of all the cream
of tartar baking powders), is another and
very strong proof of rts superiority to the
Royal. It is the percentage of carbonic
acid gas evolved by the baking powder in
the process of bread making that deter-
mines the amount of baking powder resi-
duum in the bread. The larger the per-
centage of carbonic acid gas in the bak—
ing powder, the less the residuum in the
bread. Cleveland’s baking powder cou-
taius urore carbonic acid gas than the
Royal; consequently, bread material
leavcned by Cleveland’s baking powder
contains less residum than does bread
material leavcued by the Royal baking
powder.
The State Chemist's analysis show the
superiority of Cleveland’s baking powder
in the four highest qualities of excellence:
1st.—It is richer in cream of tartar.
2nd.——It is richer in gas product, or
lcaveniug power.
3rd.—From its use lirerc is less residuum
in the bread material.
4th.—It does not contain any unhealthful
or offensive ingredient—such as
alum, ammonia. lime, &c. The
Royal contains ammonia.
The analysis and comparison of the
best eight brands of cream of tartar bak-
ing powder show that Cleveland’s superior
baking powder is the richest in cream of
tartar, and richest in gas product, or leav-
. cniug power, and, having no unhealthfui
or impure element in it, it is absolutely
the best and most desirable baking pow-
der manufactured.
