St. Louis Globe Democrat. At the request of Health Commis- sioner Brennan, the city chemist has collected samples of the various baking powders sold in St. Louis and subjected them to analysis for the purpose of obtaining for thepublic benefit information as to their com- position and character whether wholesome or otherwise. Owing to the fact that alum bak- ing powders are produced .at a cost of less than four cents a pound, while in appearance they are hardly distinguishable from 2 pure cream of tartar powder costing from eight to ten times as much to manufac- ture, there have been many of them put upon the market, and great ef- forts made to substitute them for the more wholesome cream of tartar compounds. Of course, such powders afford wide margins o! profits to both the manufacturers and dealers and it is not unusual to find them for this reason recommended and urged up ou customers who would not, know- ing their true character, use them uuder any considerations.

The samples ranged in strength from 13.47 per cent of leav- ening (carbonic acid) gas found in the Royal, to 6 08 found in an alum powder. The general usefulness of a bak- ing powder depends largely upou the quantity of leavening gas it gives off. A powder containing thirteen | percent of gas will go more than twice as far—that is one pound of such powder will raise more, than twice as much flour—as one that evolves but six per cent. The econ omy shown, however, is not the consideration. The low strength powders leave a large resi- alum iu its various forms renders the food positively unwholesome. Upon this point, and in describ- ing the character of the baking pow- der found of highest strength, the city cher says: “A high leaven ing power is requisite. dients in proper combination quick- en and increase the production of carbonic acid gas.

It will be difficult for us to guard our long northern border effectively against this dau ger. It will be impossible without the hearty co-operation of the Cana- diau authorities. The sooner we take measures to secure such co- operation the better. The season has already come when every com- pany of emigrants from Europe must be regarded with suspicion. Quarantine is at best an insecure reliance. With this new threat guard, it would be folly to count upon keeping the cholera out of the country, to the extent of neglecting any preparations for its coming.

It is reported that the Montana authorities have under arrest the supposed murderer of the late John C. Clayton of Arkansas. As is well known Clayton was assassinated three years ago while conducting a canvass for congress against Clifton R. Breckinridge. Although Mr. Breckivridge is oue of the most hone orabie aud ablest democrats in the south, aud although there was no evidence by which the murder could be attributed to the polities of his canvass, he was made the object of the most cruel attacks. It was all but charged that he committed the crime. In au utterly unjustifiable partisan spirit the majority of the congressional committee which investigated the crime refused him the privilege of submitting the evidence he had obtained, and every effort was made to cast oblo- quy upon his uame. The people of his district have twice shown their belief iu Mr. Breckinridge by return- ing him to congress, and in the sight of honest men his character is unsullied. The Montava report therefore is welcome, and it is to be hoped that the needed verification will be forthcoming. Stole Rather Than Beg. Nevada, Mo..
