AMERICAN PASTRY.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
am fond of pudding and want to know why !
cannot get it without such tremendous quantity OF
sauce being served with it. Why am / obliged to
have both kinds served up with every plateful Of
rice tapioca suet or plum that call for? 1t
may be said that / should order my pud-
ding without / have tried that, but
have seldom succeeded in getting it. Walters
appear to think that pudding without sauce
is like bread without butter or potato without salt
II may also be said that people rule like plenty OF
sance with their pudding and perhaps they do. but
observed that not person in ten eats all the
sauce served up to him. The rule in most Of our
appears to be four spoonfuls of sauce TO
two of pudding This is a frightful waste which in
these bard times should not be allowed. There
few eating houses where pastry is made
and served up on rational principles. One can gen
orally tell. when dining here. whether lie is eating
rice or tapioca pudding and we can distinguish be-
tween peach pie and apple: but in some even Of our
best eating houses much sugar is used in the
pastry that kind tastes exactly like another In
the German. French and English restaurants sugar is
used to give favor to the dish with which il is
eaten; American restaurants it is used to disguise
the flavor. No wonder that American pie has become
synonyme for all that is ndigestible and disgusting

THE PAPERS are beginning to ques-
ton the influence of the moon in caus-
ing the ebb and how of the tides.
Many have always doubted the asser-
ton that the moon makes the tides.
There are none in Lake Superior, and
at different places on the globes sur
face the tides rise with different de-
grees of force and to different heights.
Is it possible that the tides result from
the motion of the earth on its axis, and
that at different points the height Of
the flood is greater or less because Of
ocean currents and the shape of the
coast against which eaters are driven
by ocean rS=frents and by winds, and
tlea.ssn by the rotary force of the earth's
motion on its axisS Tits impossible to
illustrate the facts because we cannot
make water adhere to the surface of g
sphere. But this accomplished, the
rotary notion of tins sphere, having
wster and continents and islands,
might explain the rest. But philoso-
piers have studied this question thor
oughly. and we only propose to call
attention to a matter which philoso-
piers have supposed to be finally set
tied for centuries, but which newspa-
pers again discuss as ifit were possible
to evolve new ideas affecting subject

Mr.. SECRETARY SHERMAN has dis
missed the syndicate and becomes him.
self the Secretary of the Treasury.
This is one of the acts of the Secretary
which the masses of the people will
approve. But the Secretary proposes
to place in the hands of the people a
series of gold bearing bonds. He would
bnbe the many to cooperate with the
New York bondholders of whom Sher.
man las become the peculiar and
speci representative. Each holder of
bond payable IN gold becomes a voter
approving Sherman's financial policy
and bowing in humble alteration at the
shrine of the golden calf. Why this
hot haste, Mr.. Siermanl Congress
will speedily enact law authorizing
the sale of bonds payable, interest and
principal, in silver orpaper or gold, and
this is the paper in which the people
propose to invest and this they would
have sold by the Treasury Department.
Mr.. Sherman's hot haste should be ar
rested by Congress and the law
amended under which he now acts.

CoRTISA's retirement behind prison
bars and his final subjugation by Diaz
Is the best possible assurance of the
honest, peaceful purposes of Diaz. No
Mexican knows Cortina more thorough
ly than Diaz, and since the great ban
dit is the embodiment of all the crimes
of which Texas complains, and is Gagged
securely by the present wise ruler OF
Mexico, Texas can only ask indemnity
for the past. Diaz does not hesitate
to give rs this amplest assurance OF Sc
curity for the future. Disz, in recent
communication, described Cortins pre-
cisely as he is spoken of by gentlemen
of this city who have encountered the
old raider at his own hOepitable ire
side. COrtina had sand that be ex-
pected to be set at liberty at an early
day. President DiaZ. hearing OF 1t,
said that proceedings Of fMexican courts
were necessarily tardy, and the more
80 in this case, perhaps, the better for
the peace of the two republics Cor
tina, in prison, is apparently an ex-
ceedIngly amiable, kindly and mild
hammered old gentleman, but once on
the frontier the devil would be turned
loose. So said President Diaz to . re-
porter for the New York Hzald who
visited Cortina. We advert TO these
facts because it WA stated some days

DAN VOORHEES,.

From the fifteenth of January, A. D.
1878, Dan VOORHEES, stands at the head
and front of his party in the West and
South. He has spoken as nine-tenths
of the people feel and would speak if
inspired like this matchless orator.
The multitude is far in advance of the
average congressman. Voorhees, saw
the breach between the Congress and
the progressive people. He has en-
tered it and leads the way in a revolu-
ton that not only transforms the coun-
try's financial system, but extinguishes
sectionalism, which Conkling and his
coadjutors recently sought to re. excite
and perpetuate. The true issue is the
proposed and progressive transforma-
ton of the character of our political
institutions. Shall the subjection of the
government at Washington to the exac-
tions and lusts for power and gold of the
aristocracy which the government has
created be perpetuated OF destroyed? {?
Will the people suffer themselves to
be gradually impoverished, beggared
and finally enslaved under the speclous
plea that we owe gold to European
bondholders and must pay them gold9
1t is never mentioned that one New
England State holds $500, 900, 900 of
these bonds, and New York quite as
great a sum. These bondholders
gathered gold while the people were
fighting, and now these innocent peo-
pie, FIRST utterly impoverished, are
to be finally enslaved. 1t is
against this aristocratic scheme of
government that Voorhees, inveighs
with splendid eio9uence. He does not
hesitate to tell the whole truth OF dread
to make the issue direct. The fact is
plainly stated. owe must have either
pure republic, as our fathers made it,
Of an untaxed aristocrscy as the peo-
ple's masters" voorhees, leads the way
and with not a dissenting voice news
papers, save one, west of the Mississippi,
assent. His speech, when distributed
over the country, if it do not disap-
point the multitude in its eloquence,
as it cannot in its conclusions, will
give VOORHEES, the leadership of q
powerful party. he may be wholly
resistless when the next Democratic
nominating convention sits. In his

nifcant becomes the cold, weazeu-

The STATESMAN is generally abreast
with the opinions and progressive
events of the day. It favors opinions
from no one and follows nobody.
Sometimes, however. we are somewhat
too rapid. More than two weeks have
elapsed since we consigned Samuel
BOwles, OF the Springfield (Mass.) Re
pubiesn, to the tomb. and with heart
felt reverence did We record his vir-
tues and forget his frsilties. We said
much in his landation and all that he
would have written of himself when
the STATESMAN gave him all the best
peculiar traits Of honest, earnest New
England character. As his virtues
were portrayed in his newspaper there
was little to condemn and much 10 ad-
nire. He always said what he though,
and rarely concurred in opinion with
party-ieadsrs or conventions. The
Rtpu5liean was = political party Oi

THE national banks have overleaped
the bounds of wise selfishness. They
have reduced. the value of Mexican
dollars to ninety cents, even when
these coins are each worth intrinsically
more chan gold dollars, and are so re-
ceiTed in London. The purpose of The
bankers was not only to make for
themselves a profitable trade in these
coins, which they reject in order to
buy, but they sought to render odious
the venerable "dollar of the daddles."
They were practicing in this upon the
supposed ignorance and vulgar preju-
dices of the people. They combined
therefore to reject the very best and
most valuable coin in circulation and
thought to induce the people to say
that silver is fraud and god the only
metal worthy of m0netizotioD. The
two thousand and three hundred ma.
tional banks bad only to telegraph one
another, and Texas was plundered of
from six to ten per cent. on the value
of all the Mexican dollars in circula-
ton. The innocent people could not
help themselves. Many had no other
money and the bankers went for 1t,
and we were undoue. We do not
know that in this explanation of the
course of events, as these affect this
silver coin, that perfect justice has
been done the banks of Texas; but
very certainly the people have been
fearfully swindled by the discreditiDg
of a species of curreAcy universally
circulated, and especially in Texas.
The bond-holding banks cost the peo.
pie not less than $50, 900, 600 per an
mum. They are the "middle men,"
between the government and the peo-
pie. Changers most abhor them, and
the sooner Dan VOORHEES, accomplishes
his purposes and those of the STATES
MAN, and strikes them from the face of
the globe, the better for the people.
