' RAOUL ON RAILROAD ; COMMISSIONS While the bill limiting the powers i of the railroad commission was pend-. ing in the South Carolina Legislature, a dispatch was sent to Capt. W. -G; Rioul, President of the Central Railroad-, asking what had been the practical working of the commission in Georgia. He sent in reply the following dis patch: Replying to your inquiries as to the operation,' of the railroad com mission law in Georgia The gradual reduction of profits under its operation is now being sen sibly felt in the depreciation of the market 'value of our stocks. Our an nual reports speak the honest facts. We sorely need some restraining in fluence upon the irresponsible inter ference in railway management. I use the words irresponsible and man agement ad visedly. The first, because those who administer the Jaw are re sponsible v no authority for.thecbn sequvtice f their acts, and the owners of raiiro:id property who suffer these consequences are absolutely without redress for their mistakes.

Will not: that which is done, bv trustees to protect their trusts, also be done by prudent men to urovide a safe inheritance for their children. In my j opinion public confidence cannot be sustained for any length of time in a property, the earnings of which must depend upon the man aging capabilities of three men who have, no moneyed interest in it and who are placed in control by popular or legislative election." . $2,500 versna $1.50.

To take her place at the head of a family without a fair know ledge of this useful household art.would be to disgrace her mother and herself in the minds of all their acquaintances. The ave rage young bride goes to a home of her own with a few practical ideas on a matter which will have to come before her thrice a day, and one in which the health and gene ral prosperity of herself and others most es sentially depend. ;. Then, if ever she acquires even a passable skill in cookery, it will doubtlessly be through much wast ing and worrying and manifold non-successes.

American Free Trade. Free trade is simply natural, unre stricted liberty in selling, buying and. exchanging the products of. industry, in doing which men are allowed to follow their own judgment, free from government dictation, restraint or in terference. 3 This is free trade, abso lute, unqualified, not shrouded in mystery nor based . on theory. Men adopt ft intuitively, not only, but it is deemed so essential to success that protection in the enjoyment of its benefits is guaranteed to every man equally with everyj other man in all interstate commerce to the utmost limit of our government jurisdiction. Free traders, absolute, unqualified,- hold that this is the American sys tem j that any limitations should be the work of other governments, not of our own; yet, strange to say, the very system of trading which every man intuitively ana naturany 101 lows, that which is sacredly guarded within our national area, is made a penal offense, involving imprison ment and confiscation ot property, when trading is carried on over the border, and it is said of those who protest such limitations, that "Free Traders are all cranks." Imitation Baking Powders. Tt the Public: The public is cautioned against the prac tice of many grocers who sell what they claim to be Royal Baking Powder, loose or in bulk, without label ; or trade-mark. All such powders are base imitations. Analy ses of hundreds of samples of such baking powders sold in bulk to parties asking for Royal have" shown' them, to be largely adulterated, mostly with alum, dangerous for use m food, and comparatively value less for leavening purposes. The public is too well aware ol the inju rious effect of alum, upon the system, to need further'cantion against the use of any baking powder known to be made from this drug; but the dealer's assurance, "Oh, it's just as' good as Royal," or V'it's the genuine Royal, only we buy.it by the bar rel to save the expense of cans," eta, is apt to mislead unsuspecting consumers into buying an article which they would not knowingly use in their food under any consideration. The only safety irom sucn practices is in buying baking powder only in the original package, of a well known brand, and a thoroughly established repu tation. ", " The Royal Baking Powder is sold only in cans, securely closed with the company's trade-mark label, and the weight of the package stamped on each ' cover. It is never sold in bulk, by the barrel, or loose by weight or measure, and all suchioffered the public under any pretense, arc. imita tions, i i. If consumers will -bear these facts in mind, and also see that the package pur chased is properly labeled, and the label unbroken, they will be always sure f using a baking powder perfectly pure and whole some, and of the highest test strength in the market.

The verdict' of the country will be that Speaker Carlisle has done extremely well. i- The responsi bility imposed upon ' him was enor mous, the guiding 'precedents set be fore him very few It was his duty to distribute three hundred and twen ty-two members among hfty-two committees: to place every man to best advantasre: to oreanize the IJouse for most efficient work; to sat isfy the demands of great interests and great principles; to eliminate from his mind all thoughts of reward ing friends or punishing enemies: in short, to shape the current of leg islation in the most important Con gress which has assembled since the war. .This great -work he has per formed with a clear conscience and a calm and confident, judgment which bespeaks the admiration which it must beget. His few mistakes have been corn of a desire to do too much well. Washington Post, Dem. "A tariff for revenue only" is the only proper tariff. The point, of difficulty is to conduct the country safely out of the protective mye in which it flounders, with as little in jury as possible to industries which stands on a tariff bottom.

The Banking and Currency Commit tee measures to be Introduced Rela tive to the Note Circulation Views of Prominent members of the Commit tee. " . ' " ' By Telegraph to the Horning Star.) Washington, Dec. 25." Mr. A.' H.Buck- ner, chairman 01 tne uommittee on Bann ing and Currency, is preparing a bill -to be introduced wnen uongress , reconvenes, which provides for the issuing of Treasury notes without the legal tender Quality. to take the place of bank notes going out of existence. The purport of. the measure is the same as that of the bill introduced by Mr. Buckner at the first session of the last Congress. - The proposition of Comp troller Unox. -to take on: the one per cent. , tax on circulation and allow the banks to issue on market value instead of par value, is not favored by - the chairman of the Banking and. Currency Committee. Mr. Buckner says if the plan of . Comptroller Knox is successful in avoiding a contrac tion of the circulation of bank notes, it would afford only temporary relief, and in seven years from the present, when it be came necessary to begin redeeming the 4 per cent, bonds, there would be a recur rence of the present trouble. The Na tional Bank system cannot live without a national debt, and as that debt is being wiped out gradually and certainly. Mr. Buckner is of opinion - that -it. is time to prepare for a permanent circula tion. He is not favorably inclined to the removal of the tax on circulation, giving as his reason that while in the Eastern States, where interest is low. circulation is not valuable and is worth all that Govern ment asks, in the ' Western States,' Mr. Buckner says franchises are still more val uable, because the rates of i interest are higher. The originator of the proposed measure is doubtful of the probability of any legislation upon the subject during the present term of , Congress, owing to the di versity or opinion upon the question. xo Rxt. iiuckner s committee will be re ferred all Questions relating to : National Banks. , Representative Dingier, of Maine, heads the list of Republican members on this Committee. Mr. Dingley . to-day said he thought that but two of the plans proposed were practicable. -.. une 01 these was to provide for the issue of circulating notes to National Banks to an amount equal to 90 per cent, of the market value of bonds de posited by them to secure circulation. Alter a hasty examination of the list of the members of the Committee, he said he was or opinion that this plan was more likely - to find favor with the Committee. ; He would not venture an opinion as to the treatment which the other plan he had in mind as practicable, to take the tax off the circulation of Na tional Banks, would probably receive from tne vommittee formed. He now expresses himself as well pleased with the Committee. as named. He thought it was a strong Committee. The Committee is made up of strong men who are interested in the ques tions which are to be submitted to them. The Committee, he thought also, was well selected, ueorgia especially, New York. Massachusetts, Delaware and Maine, with their great interests in the settlement of the question were represented; as were also the jracinc coast, tne great lakes, tne tiuli states and the Mississippi river. He was satisfied. ha said, that the Committee was strongly in favor of doing something at once for the revival of American shipping, and he was inclined to think that a majority of the Committee would be found favoring free snips. Mr. Dmgly was also placed first in the list of Republicans on the new committee on the Revival of American ShiDDing.

The reasons for Mr. Cox's refusal are that the Committee on Naval Affairs will have "com paratively little before it during the present Congress, and that twenty-two years ser vice in the House entitled him to the chair manship of the Foreign Affairs committee. His friends say that -in that position Mr. Cox contemplated advocating a number of reforms in the line of reducing the num ber of foreign ministers, vesting consuls with diplomatic power when necessary, and improving the consular system so as to make it a more powerful agency lor tne advancement of the commercial interests of the country.

Archbishop Perche has for some weeks been in failing health, and four days ago beeame unable to leave his bed. lost nignt his condition: became so alarming that it was deemed imperative to administer the last sacrament. The Archbishop suffers more from age than any sickness, and is gradually sinking. His death is expected at any moment. ' Poisoned. Thousands of persons are poisoned in America by the continued use of Mercury, Iodide of Potassium and other , minerals, for various diseases. The Mercury works its way into the tissues, producing rhema- tism and decay of the. bones. The Iodide of Potassium eats away the coating of the stomach, and dries, up the gastric juices that digest the food, and the patient lingers along in agony or is glad to die to get away from misery. Swift's Specific is a complete antidote to all this poison. It eliminates Mercury from the system, re moves the evil effacts of Iodide of Potas sium, and brings back health and happi ness. - Send your address for a copy of Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases.
