have faith also to believe that a calf which
will weigh at four months old three hun

the same age that will weigh two hundred
pounds at $40; or that calf weighing
four hund ed pounds is cheaper for any
farmer to buy at $50, than yearling thai

How To Cook A BEEFSrEAK.-A beet
steak is always best broiled; but the ioi-
lowing method is recommended when
broiling is not convenient: The frying pan
being wiped dry place it upon the stove to
become hot. In the mean time pepper
and salt the steak, then lay 1t on the hot
DRY pan and instantly cover as tightly as
possible. When the raw flesh touches the
heated pan. of course it seethes and adj
heres to it. but in Il fe. seconds 1t becomes
loosened and juicy. Every halt-nlnute
turn the steak; but be careful to keep 1t rs
much us possible under cover When
nearly done lay n small piece of butter
upon it, and if you want much gravy add
a tablespoonful of strong coffee. This
makes the most delicious, delicately brolled
steak, full of juice, yet retaining all the
healthy, beefy flavor that any John Bull
could require The same method may be
applied to mutton chops or ham, only they
require more cooking to prevent them
from being rare An excellent gravy may
be made by adding little cream, thick
ened by i pinch of flour into which, when
off the fire and partially cool, stir the
velk of an egg we'll beaten.

Patriot
The Richmond palladium. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1855-1875, 1874-08-26

The New York Tribune has been
guilty of the insinuation that Mr..
Belmont is a better patriot now than
he was during the war. Item: Mr..
Belmont refused and advised the
Messrs. Rothschild & Sons to refuse
investments in United States six per
cent bonds when they were worth only
forty five cents on the dollar; whereas,
he now invests and advises the Roths-
childs to invest in United States fves
at par. Mr.. Belmont, says the World
has been investing in United States
securities, and advising the Roths-
childs to do likewise since 1862. If
this is true, both Mr.. Belmont and the
above named bankers have profted
by their investments. But the World
is not satisfied to leave Mr.. Belmont
and the Rothschilds alone with their
excellent investments. Itquotes the
Tribune of the past on the Tribune of
the present to show that it's character
for loyalty is smirched by its record
during the rebellion. 1t quotes the
Tribune of 1860, 1861, and 1862 to
show that it was ready to let the Cot
ton States depart in peace; that the
secession of 100000 of Southrons
was justified in 1861 by the Declara-
ton of Independence of 1776, and
that if We couldn' whip the South in
three months it was best to seek
dishonorable peace. On the other
hand, it quotes from Mr.. Belmont in
1862, to the effect that there was no
sacrifice too great to make for the pre-
servation of the Union. This was
what Mr.. Belmont said to Tammany
when Mr.. Tweed was robbing New
York City and preparing to rob it
more. Mr.. Belmont, doubtless. had
great faith in government which
permitted the Tammany ring to sue
cessfully run sub-government Of
robbers in the Empire State, But
the World, while it recollects wildly
the weak record made by Greeley in
the Tribune in the early part of the
war, forgets to mention the fact that
it supported the philosopher for Presi
dent of the United States in 1872.
Whether it supported him because he
was shaky about the war in 1852,
and demanded peace at any price in
1863; or because he was an Abolition
ist in earlier years, never appeared
from anything in it's columns. On the
whole, there is better ground for at
lacking the Tribune of to-day than
the Tribune in the time Of its great
founder He was at least honest,
striking out from the shoulder, and
dealing hard blows. He believed
what he said, at least on the day he
made the utterance. But the Tribune
of to-day has nothing for the govern
ment but denunciation, nothing for
the church but sneers, nothing for So
ciety but a coarse infidelity. Even
the World with its hard money
robbery, its Stree trade stupidity,
and its home rule" abs,udity. is
more to be respected than the Tribune
wrapping itself in a garment Of i'm
penetrable distrust of all mankind

further reduced in the future Not
only has there been the utmost
watchfulness in preventing any
abuse of power, but past acts of the
party as we'll as of it's individual
members have been subjected to
the most thorough overhauling. If
its enemies had suddenly came into
power they could not have surpass-
ed the record of the Republican
party in these respects. The his
tory of politics will fail to disclose
a clearer and purer record than
that of the Republicans since the
election of 1872. We were then
told that the Liberal movement was
simply delayed, not defeated, or
even checked. But what have we
Scent The circulation of its organs
has been circumscribed, and its
leading representatives, like Schurz
and Fenton, are really men without
party. They are as utterly with
out q follower as Kossuth or JEFF
Davis. Instead of appearing as. the
leaders of great popular move
ment, they are not only deserted
by the friends who followed them
out of the party, but they are with
out even the friendship and conf
dence of their Democratic allies of
~. The party not only stands
firm and compact in its organization
to day, but by its action during the
past two years-especially in the
recent session of Congress-it has
shown that it not only has the ca
pacity to govern the country but
the spirit and determination to
rule itself and we have good au-
thority that is the highest possess
sion of great qualities. It enters
upon this campaign which is to
settle the complexion of the next
Congress--determined whether the
party shall retain its absolute con-
troll of the House, by reason of
having two thirds of the members,
as we'll as maintaining its strength
in the Senate, through the action
Of the State legislatures well dis
ciplined, confident in it's own integ-
.rity Of purpose; proud'of the record
it has made, and with objects to be
attained of the highest Importance
to the nation. The opposition, on
the other hand, is without organ
izaton, divided in action, with no
aims higher than desire for power,
and no weapons of war other than
those of invective and abuse. They
cannot advance one good argument
why they should supplant the Re
publican party in the confidence of
the people. With such an outlook
to day the result of the campaign
is already as well assured as it was
at this time in 1872.

Tested and Approved.

The Chicago Inter Ocean very
truly says: There was danger,
after the wholly unprecedented
majorities by which the Republican
party was continued in power in
1872, that it weuld, in it's over con-
fdence in it's strength abuse the
great trust committed to its keep
ing; but the record of the past two
years shows only caution, prudence,
a jealous watchfulness of it's own
fair fame, and of the interests of
the nation. It is true that the
closing act of the Forty second
Congress, which was elected in
1870, in raising the salaries of it's
members, was q very foolish one;
but it was equally chargable upon
the opposition in proportion to it's
numbers. This act, however, met
with no favor at the hands of the
Republican party. No journal de-
Tended it. It was denounced alike
by State legislatures and party
conventions. The masses of the
people were solidly united against
it. And the successors of that
Congress made haste to repeal the
very injudicious and pernicious
measure. The party has utterly
refused to stand by any Of its
members in any wrong act. It has
promptly instituted Investigations
when wrongs have been charged,
and has fearlessly exposed corrup
ton wherever it has been found.
The famous Credit Mobilier inves
tgation was made upon the demand
of one of its most distinguished
members of Congress- In fact,
since the last which, from
it's overwhelming results, was cal
culated to lead it into foolish if not
unbridled excuses the course of
the party has been one of the most
rigid self examination and restric
ton. The present Congress at it's
late session, which closed only little
more than a month ago, turned its
attention to the promotion of reform
and economy with a spirit and de-
termination never exhibited by any
of it's predecessors. From its open
ing in December to the close in the
last days of June, the time was
spent in the most thorough scrutiny
Of all the avenues through which the
peoples money is expended. And
what were the results. Simply
these: Superfuous Offices were
abolished, the functions of many
others consolidated, and a grand
annual saving made Of at least $25,
100000 to 80, 100000. Reductions
were made in the army and navy
whereby these expenses will be still
