Or Position.


We have not proposed to publish
a political paper. But at the same
time nc coneede il to be our duty
and hold /, to DO our privilege, TO
.pe,k out 10 matters vitality affecting
public interests. And !, would ap'
pear to be peculiarly eur province to
advocate the sacredness Of home as
place of peace and safety, and to look
to the wall being Of socicy IN the
nmily aud soeisl circles. :,
In this connection VIZ feel 'mpeiled
I, exprsss our Aspiration OF the bold
and independent spirit of the editor
Of tbs Texas Republican aud Times
considering the peculiar attitude 10
which We are placed, in exposing the
present iyrsnnixing over the peoP',,
Of Jefferson, especially ns evidenced
IN the brutal murder OF the lamenfed
Capt. wm. Perry We believe the
facts stated by him to be substantial
" true aud incon'royertablc. Moth
ing We have heard or read gives the
least coloring Of apology for this e1
ira Official eondue, of those concerned
in the killing Of Capt, Perry.
As to the issue mndc with the ell
tor of the Republican. by the Board
nf Aldermen Of this city, We sel'eve
they were led By motive, Of prudence
in a spirit of coneilil'ion. to take a
position which they cannot sus,a'"
and We hope they will resie" her
actien, and If convinced that they
have erred, that they will still have
the independence to do justice to the
question y, issue.
We have been led to say thus
much purely from a sense of duty ms
. public journalist, and from no per
sonal feelings against any one. We
have no acquaintance with The mayor
with every member OF the board We
are personally friendly, and therefore
the more anxious 10 see them IN
defen.ible posiiiou.-Jc6erso" Hom'
Adrocate.
Tho editor Of The Home Advocate
+. ]. Pa,illo, is personal friend o
twenty years Standing. We weF'
partners in the Texas Republican
from May 1s4o to July 1881, thu
paper having been started by hi
father, Judge +. A. Patillo. Durlnl
those two years, of professional ans
personal intimacy there WAS never
question, Of policy or cxpedicncy
but Of what was right He va
ever true to honor and duty. IL
graiilying to notice that lie i iii
true To his instincts aud anteccdcni'
We agree with him in his opinion Il
the City Council and their motive
and sincerely hope that the me
whom We have so long regarded wit
respect, will place themselves RICH
on the record. They have bette
time to do it now Than they will c
have again.

How to Make Spruce Beer.

AS THE season is at hand when pleasant
summer drinks, free from alcoholic in
1uence, are frequently brewed by the

which are claimed to be excellent: e.,
aoi L. Take three gallons of water of blood
warmth, three half pints of molasses, a
tablespoonful of essence of spruce, and
the like quantity of ginger mix well to-
gether with a gill of yeast; let stand over
night, and bottle in the morning. 1t will
be in good condition to drink in twenty
four hours. 1t is palatable, wholesome
beverage sri'i' ..tu9. li sf.
2. Those who prefer mead have only to
substitute honey for the molasses named
above, and for one-third the ginger use all
spice. Half the quantity of yeast will be
sufficient, and the bottling should occur
the second day instead of the next NOR
ming. 1t will be fit to drink in four days
after being bottled, and will keen for many
weeks. A small quantity of alcohol is
formed during the fermentation, and this
prevents the acetous fermentation so
common to spruce beer The essence of
spruce is of course left out in the making
of mead. The alcohol formed from the
fermentation of honey resembles that found
inmetheglin, while the alcohol formed from
the fermentation of molasses is rum Those
who imagine that they can make either
spruce beer or mead without entirely
forming any alcohol are mistaken; but it
is present in SO light proportion as not
to be sensible to the most delicate tenn
Derance nerves. 9EI IN qHG Er-n.t 81 .
