Alta meeting Of the Executive Com
rnittee held yesterday, a resolution was
adopted providing that ihe voters Of The
9Th, fourteenth and fifteenth city dis
tricts should elect one Senator and four
Representatives, and that the voters out.
side Of said districts should elect one
Senator and two Representatives, and
that those so elected should be declared
the nominees OF the party. AT the prl'
mary election, delegates to the Congress
sional and Senatorial Convention will be
selected. The candidates are to sign q
pledge to abide the decision of the voters
at the primary election. "a
THr contest between Jack Doyle, the
Conservative candidate, and Colonel
Curry, his Radical competitor, for the
Office of Sheriff, promises to be lively in
the extreme. The Radicals are making
every effort to re-elect Curry, but the
shrewdest and best calculators of cleo
tion figures give Mr.. Doyle at least one
thousand msjoriiy. How a Radical can
expect to be elected to the most impor-
tant office in Shelby county is beyond
comprehension. 1t is their fnalstrug
gle for power, and they must be informed
again that Radiealism is odious to the
people and its supporters must take
back seats.

"CoxE to the City Of Roses" is the
poetical way Little Rock paper writes
immigrants to locate in that city. When
Arkansas stands redeemed and olsen
thralled from Radicalism, the invitation
may be accepted by white men. That
which the editor calls rose, by any
other name would smell as sweet. The
perfume of the Radical roses is specific
which prevents immigration.

CHICAGO.

.CHicAoo, July 6.-The Times in a two
column editorial again asserts that Gree
ley cannot be elected even if nominated
at Baltimore; that the deep-seated aver
sion among the honest yeomanry and
the Democratic masses yield him now
only forced support. 1t calls upon the
Baltimore Convention, as the only road
to success, to nominate a candidate who,
instead of being disagreeable and objec-
tionable to the three-fourths, will be ac-
ceptable, naming Groesbeck. Thurmon
or Adams.

ORANGE AND GREEN.

On next Friday, the 18th inst, 1t is
feared street fight will take place in
New York city in consequence OF the
proposed parade of Orangemen, who
are the antipodes of those who wear the
green. Probably not one in ten of the
present generation of Americans have
any definite idea of what is meant by
Orangeisn, except that it signifies an
historical feud among the Irish people.
The organization of the order of Orange
ism in Ireland dates back as far as the
year 1895, and had for its object the pre-
dominance of Protestant social and pO-
litical influence over that of the Catho-
lies. Taking for its starting point the
victory of the. Protestant king of Great
Britain, William, Prince of Orange, over
his father-in-law, James H., the deposed
Catholic sovereign of the United King
dom, which took place at the battle
of the Boyne, in Ireland, July
70 new Style, 1890, this politico-
religious association adopted the
princes title for its name and distinc-
tive color, and the anniversary day Of
his victory for its great festival. In the
course Of few years after IFS first for
nation the association became organized
into lodges, grand county lodges, general
grand lodges of Ireland and England,
and Imperial Grand Lodge of the King
dom, adopting a hierarchy Of orders and
secret rites and symbols, initiative of
Freemasonry. The orange coler was
made the distinctive badge of the inferior
degrees and the purple for the higher.
The prominent profession of the order
was intense loyalty to the Hanoverian or
Protestant succession. By reason Of
the spread of the order in England and
the formation of lodges there, many Of
the highest dignitaries of the kingdom,
lay and clerical, became connected with
it, among others the Duke Of York, and
the Duke of Cumberland, the former Of
whom was Grand Master of 0rangemen,
and at his death, in 1927, was succeeded
by the latter. The year following
the Duke of Cumberland became Impe-
rial Grand Master Of the united Grand
Lodges of England and Ireland.
0rangeism was planted in the British
American provinces about the year 1892,
and took strong root on this continent,
especially in the Canadas. 1t made its
first appearance in the United States at
about the same period, and since that
time has been ardently cherished and
opposed here by those Of our adopted
citizens from the old country who love
to keep up the traditions Of the past and
have taste for hereditary quarrels.
The order in this country is a mere big
oted junta, with transparent mask of
folly and prejudice. Having no avowed
and practical purpose to accomplish
here, it can only thrive upon the little
local excitement it creates; but of what
conceivable use it can possibly be in free
America, or what benefits can accrue
from keeping up a strictly Irish feud,
would puzzle the clearest American
mind to discover. If let alone and al.
lowed to pursue its cratic course with
out molestation, it will die out in time,
like an exotic alien to the soil.

Sailing Butter.


Please give the proportion Of su>

Spring Dale,
The action Of salt, sugar, salt
petre, ETC., is to attract the water OF
the buttermilk to itself. The best
butter may as easily be made with
pure salt, as by the addition of the
other ingredients named. The act
ion Of salt is to penetrate the butter
milk, absorb water, and make a
strong brine, thus rendering decom-
position and consequent putridIty
impossible. Buttermilk, the pres
ence of which in butter, imparts
disagreeable taste, and subsequent
rancidity TO the mass, can be remov-
ed by working alone. The removal
is assisted by the uso OF salt. Wash.
ing in pure cold water, aids material
ly in this. The quantity of salt used,
varies in:diffsrenS diaries. AT the
first working, about three per cent,
of the weight Of the butter should
be used, taking care not to inJure
the grain of the in working. After
an interval of twelve hours the but
ter should be worked, after which it
may be packed, adding about one
per cent. more Of salt at this time.
If The butter is properly made this
quantity OF salt will be sufficient.
No foul odors should be ADMITTED
about the room where the milk is
kept, and where the various opera
tions arc performed This is essen
tihl
A good ordinary rule lin butter
making is 10 use one ounce of pure
salt 20 the pound Of butter, and If
YOU allow alse. an ounce Of the best
graduated sugar, to each four or
five pounds, it will do no harm, but
will assist in the preservation; but
the best butter is made by attention
TO strict care in the manipulation,
and the perfect condition OF the
packages used - Western Rural
