THE SENTINEL.

Generous words of approval come to us
from all portions of the state. They are so
full of cheer and confidence that we should
be chargeable with ingratitude if we were to
withhold our public recognition of the conf
dence so flatteringly expressed. We can as
sure our steadily increasing number of read
ers that the Sentinel will take no retrograde
steps in the advocacy of policy calculated
to improve the welfare of the state and the
country. The Sentinel is iFrevocably
pledged to the advocacy of measures
of relief from the present business
depression, and to eternal hostility to legisla-
ton designed to enrich one class while it
improve ,isnes another class. We shall con-
tinue to expose the treachery aud mendacity
of the Journal, whose soul, if it has soul.
is of such infinite littleness that several mil
lions Of them could keep boarding houses in

Selecting Meats.
/ Western Cattle Grower

western cattle Grower.
In selecting beef to roast, if it be for a
small family, the rib is by far the best and
most tender cut; have some OF the bone re-
moved; then make your butcher skewer the
beef. The best beefsteak for broiling is
porterhouse. The best beef for la mode is
the round; have the bone removed, and
trim off all the gristle. For corned beef,
the round is also the best. For mutton
roast, choose the shoulder, the saddle or the
loin and haunch. The leg should be boiled
Small rib chops are best for broiling; those
cut out from the leg are generally tough.
Mutton outlets 10 bake are taken from the
neck. For roast veal, the loin, breast or
shoulder is good. Veal chops are best for
frying; cntlets are more apt to be tough.
In selecting beef take that which has loose
grain, easily yielding to pressure, of 2 dark
red color, smooth, with whitish fat; il the
lean is purpish and the fat is yellow. ii is
poor beef. Grass fed is the lightest, OK the
best, and next the heifer. Perhaps the
incest mutton roast is a small leg, the bone
taken out and the cavity stuffed with forced
meat. The best beef roast is flor threel
about two and half or three pounds of
porterhouse. Sirloin ranks next. Arump
roast is very nice. Two or three pounds is
great plenty for three. In chops, think
that from the hind leg of mutton best, IN
less you can get ''meaty' sirloin. The
same in pork; about one and a quarter to
one and half pounds is sufficient; beef
steak, about the same quantity. Porter
house is cheaper than sirloin, having less
bone. Rump steak and round, if we'll
pounded to make them tender, have the
best flavor

THE STATE HOUSE PLANS.
The Work of the Commissioners -Secresy
Required by the Law.

The state house commissioners are still en-
gagged in the routine work of examining the
plans Something has been said about the
secrecy with which their work is conducted.
Last year some of the architects complained
of the manner In which their plans were
treated, being open to the public, and
some of the plans were defaced and
otherwise injured. They also com
planned that other architects by ex-
aiming their plans were enabled to
steal their good points, which were certainly
private property until the state had adopted
one of them. To remedy this trouble, and
to induce as many architects as possible to
compete, they embodied in their ins!ruc-
tions to architects the following:
The commissioners will take proper meas
ures to prevent any plans, drawings or Specitl-
cations from being seen, except by their own
body and the experts until the decision Is
finally made and publicly announced.
The drawings Specifications and estimates
of the plan adopted by the commissioners for
property of he state. and all other drawings
will be returned to their respective owners
immediately after making the award.
The commissioners desire to secure the
permission of all the competing architects TO
have public exhibition of the plans after
one has been selected so that every one
may see what has been adopted and what
rejected. A more thorough examination OF
the instructions for architects snow that it
would be almost impossible TO add any new
tests without coming in conflict with the
instructions. which. when issued, were said
by architects to be the most complete and
satisfactory of any instructions they had
ever seen

1t is remarkable fact that without an ex-
ception the Shylocks and their organs de-
mand that Hayes shall exercise the preroga-
tive of vetoing the TWO great measures of
relief now before congress; that is, he is to
say, Il forbid their passage!" and unless
two-thirds vote can be had in their favor
relief is postponed and the disasters incident
to contraction will continue. 1t may be
well to know something of the history of
the power which the constitution confers
upon the president of the United States. We
find the following in the American Cyclope-
dia-
Veto is Latin word Simplifying al forbid
which has been introduced into the political
Language of modern nations to signify thu act
by which the executive power refuses its sane
ton 10 measure proceeding from the legisla-
ture. The first instance of the use OF this
power was by the tribune OF the people OF
Rome, when by prOnounclng the word "veto'
cOul render of no avail the DEGREES of the
senate or the proceedings of the magistrates.
9 The trlbuneS of the people were the
most i'm portant OF all the officers bearing the
name. They Were first appointed after the
powered to project the pleDeians against the
usurpat1On of the patrician magistrates.
1t is easy enough to see that since the date
when the "tribunes of the people of Rome"
exercised the veto power great changes have
taken place, and that now, In this full orbed
noon of civilization, the Shylocks and their
organs demand the of the veto power to
crush the people and intensity their suffer
ings. We have printed in these columns
time and again that the people of the
United States, as shown by the
vote of their representatives. are
overwhelmingly in favor of the remonetiza.
ton of silver and the repeal of the resump-
ton law. The vote shows that 3S 900, 600
are in favor Of these measures against about
100000 opposed to their passage But here
is another form of argument IN which the
electoral vote is taken into account and
which, with our form of government, upon
questions absolutely constitutional, should
have weight when the veto power is called
nto operation. The vote on the silver bill,
says the Chicago Tribune, shows that on the
one side the reconciliation of silver is
demanded by the following states:

We have, says the Rural World, in former
years, again and again urged farmers TO pack
and cure and prepare for market their own
pork. The combinations among the city
packers this winter TO pay only very low
prices for pork makes 1t very important that
formers should kill and cure their own hogs
1t is true last year the packers paid good
prices, and lost money. But this year they
have combined to pay low prices and make
money. They intend to make up the losses
of last year and double the money they
invest this year besides.
Now, if farmers can kill and cure hogs as
well as men IN the city can, when the pork
is sold they will double their money too
What one man can do another man can do.
If one man can cure pork we'll in the city,
another man in the country can cure 1T
equally we'll. But he must Try TO qualify
himself to do it. He must talk with those
who have good success in curing meat, and
draw out all the information he can. He
must read every thing he can find on the
ments at home for doing It we'll. He must
learn to cut and trim his bacon nicely. He
must keep it neat and in good order. He
must not have it too salt nor too fresh. He
must get good recipe and try it, and his
own experience may induce HIM TO modify
il somewhat in future operations. he must
talk with his neighbOrs watch their prac-
tees, and perfect himself in the business,
and cure his pork as well as any other man,
and he can sell it as well. When market
day comes, if the city packer makes money,
he makes il, too. If the city packer loses
money, he does not because he has pro-
duced not bought, his hogs, and well cured
pork will Sell at paying prices always.
Good pork always buys work on the farm.
II always buys goods at the store, in town or
city. 1t always commands money, because
people must eat. Tue better the quality the
better the price, and the more easily it is
sold. 1t is the best that pays best Put 10
your own hogs. Don't send them to the city
aud nearly give them away. Deduct ship
ping expanses, commissions, etc, and but
Ii tie is left Put no pork at home, and you
have what will cOnmsnd money all the time.

THE Journal of this city, in its issue Of Satur-
day lest, contained hfty-four notices in bank
ruptcy. Does any one believe such whole
sale business could have been done In the
bankruptcy courts if the resumption act had
never been passed?-Indiana Farmer
The attention of the people of Indiana is
called to the statement which we clip from
the Farmer. "Fifty-four notices in bank
-rup-cy" tell a fearful tale of business
depression. During the past six years
Indiana has suffered more than $1,000. 600
by bankruptcy, and still the Shylock Journal
advocates the policy that has produced the
ruin. 1t is never more satisfied than when
its columns attest the curse of its policy
never more serene than when its columns
like stretchers, are bearing the dead and
wounded from the battlefields of business.
