THAT democratic carbuncle, "na-
tionalism," which the party has been
nursing for some time, is eating about
the heart-strings of the old concern.
The New York ,S.n, has got mad and
cast it overheard. A stencil that the
Sun cannot endure under its nose is
indeed tough. Here is the S,q,'s edi-
torial:
1t is not beaten, alone, that the
democrats are, on the whole, in the
recent elections. They are disgraced,
also.
They had two positions, natural for
them to take, which We're impregna-
BILE. One was the observance of the
constitutional provision for the cleo
ton of President and Vice President.
The other was the sound doctrine of a
gold basis for the currency.
They abandoned both. They sur.
rendered all principle, and Withal
were ignominiOusly beaten, as they
ought to have been. We do not say
the republicans merited success; but
the democrats certainly deserved the
uclShl IilCN nave SuSldiutu.
How will it be in this State?
Tammany Hall began, severa
months ago, by declaring Mr.. Hayes
title sacred. All who believe tina
fraud can be sanctified by success
and that an unconstitutional election
can confer a sound title, may follow
the Tammany lead.
The Democratic State Convention
did little better. Nothing was sale
in the resolutions about the unconsti
tutional Electoral bill.
i Independent patriots will best man
ifest their attachment to the Constitu
ton by voting against the democratic
party. 1t will be bad for the party
but it will be good for the country.
i When any party deliberately aban
dons all principle, it should in turf
be abandoned by the people. TIL
democratic party, at the recent Stat
Convention, silently turned its bacl
to the Constitution. Let the voter
ut the polls silently turn their back
upon the democratic party.
These who have timidly and basel,
lowered the flag should Task in vain 70
victory to perch upon it. Unworth,
of leadership, let them be over
whelmed!

Breakfast Dishes.

Oatmeal we are very fond Of al
"onr house." and latterly have been
using the Ohio oat. meal, with CON-
plete satisfaction. 1t costs but five
cents a pound, in ve-pound packa-
ges, and package will last a long
time. 1t is clean, very sweet, and
when cooked, is free from the "string.
mess" that frequently affects Irisl,
oatmeal, especially if it is under
cooked. 1t is easily prepared for
breakfast, is SO nutritious and health
ful-all children ought to have it.
that l urge its use upon all country
house wives who are yet strangers to
"mus6,' Is better hot than cold. and
may be eaten with little sugar and
milk. it one prefers the addition
Irish cooks, who have learned how to
prepare it in Ireland, have always
cooked 1t for me very nicely. l find
that while these simple break ia st
dishes are. and have been, for years,
constant dishes on tho tables Of city
homes, very many farmers do not use
them, but depend, as Of yore, upon
fried meat, fried potatoes, and grid
die cakes. To such let me say, "Try
oatmeal A little careful practice
in cooking it, will readily lead 10 per-
fiction, and you will soon wonder
how you ever breakfasted SO long
without it,"
Boiled cracked wheat is an unsur-
passed breakfast dish, if rightly cook
ed. Everything depends upon that.
1t is more economical for farmers
to use their own wheat, than to buy
the prepared article. After the wheat
is cleaned and dried, il may be COARSE
ly ground in coffee mill. This also
is made like "mush," but should be
cooked fully as long as corn mush-
from two to four hours. II requires
frequent stirring to be kept from
burning. When done, fill a dozen
or lcss-tea-cups rather more than
half full of the "mush )" let stand un.
til cold turn out Of the molds, caro-
fully, into desert plates, or arrange
all on platter, which may be placed
on the table, and served from that as
desired. Eat with sauce of sugar
and cream. Delicious OF course,
all mushes require a seasoning of salt,
while being cooked. Wheat, so pre-
pared, forms also nice desert for
dinner. A slice Of jelly, served with
it, adds to its delicacy, for some pal
NeU Yorker.

Annual Cost Of the Rebellion
r.a,,, 49,, Dhsladotnbio 1Srass

Our democratic friends have much
to say on the expenditures of the gov
eminent. The subject is interesting
and always important. The money
spent is collected from the people; and
they have q right to know why it Is
spent and how. The tables published
elsewhere in this issue analyze the
expenditures for the last eight years,
and will enable our readers to see
/. The amount of the total expend-
itures of the government from 1869 to
1876, inclusive.
2. The amount Of the ordinary ex-
penditures for the same years.
3. The amount of Expenditures due
to the rebellion.
The population of the country in
each of the years named and the pro-
portion per capita of both ordinary
expenses and those which were ex-
|traordinary and due to the rebellion.
The figures in the tables may be
relied upon as correct. They have
been carefully compiled from official
sources in the Treasury Department,
and are presented as entirely trust.
worthy.
They show these results:
l.. That since 1s69-the beginning
of the Grant administrations to.
tai expenditures, less redemption Of
public debt, have fallen from 1892.
s95, O79.51 in 1863, to $25S, 459, 797 .33 in
1876.
2. That the ordinary expenditures
have fallen from $112,970, 1893. 80 il
1869, to $40, 485, S34.69, in 1876.
3. That the per capita proportion O
ordinary expenditures was $2.99 il
1869, and was $2.44 in 1876.
4. That the per capita proportion o
extraordinary expenditures and thOs,
due to the rebellion, was $3.50 in 1876:
and 1927 in 1876.
5. That the expenses due to the re
bellion were $199, ga, 662.24 in 1863
and $144, 9l9, 679.25 in 1876, or nearly
twelve millions month, and nearly
four hundred thousand dollars a day
| This is the cost the country is nov
paying for having trusted the demo
cratic party with the management G
its affairs. We commend these fie
ures to the careful study of the pee
pie. They need no comment.

Says the Chicago Tribune:

The testimony of the employers of
Chicago concerning the condition of
the labor market is uniformly TO the
effect that there has been no time for
several years when the demand for
labor SO nearly equaled the supply, or
when there was SO small percentage
who are steady, re1iaDfe anu wInrnt
to work at current wages. The era
Of ''hard times" in this city seems to
have passed, and the era of work for
all, at prices in fair proportion to the
profits on the prodnct Of labor to have
come again.
This is rapidly becoming the condi-
ton of the country. The chief cause
of delay is the foolish conduct Of the
laborers themselves, led on by rascal
~ demagogues. To-day, did the la
borer, the mechanic, meet the capital
list or business man of the country on
terms of mutual confidence, and labor
together for the return of prosperous
times, we should have an early and
rapid return to business activity and
ample employment for all men at
good and remunerative prices.
The trouble is that dishonest men,
demagogues, looking only to their
own personal advancement, influence
the passions of the laborer, the me-
chanic and the farmer against the
capitalists. These demagogues have
done and are doing this by system
of Misrepresentation and falsehood
that would shame the devil were the
thing within the range of possible
ties. They lead the people to butt
their heads against the adamantine
rock of capital at the expense of the
people. There will be a fearful retri-
button, we hope, for these demagogues
when the people learn how sadly and
wickedly they have been deceived.
We would want no better assurance
of returning prosperity with great ra-
pidity than confidence in and fair
treatment of capital by the people it
would be as sure an evidence of it as
the sun in heaven to-day is guafan-
tee of the rising sun tomorrow. All
hope for prosperity to-day rests in the
fact that resumption will take
place in spite of the insane folly of
many people, and the rascality of
their leaders, coupled with the rea-
sonable hope that the insane will be
cured of their insanity in brief pc
Rod.

Bob. Ingersoll on Fiatism.

From HIS speech Last week nj the Franklin Co.
IN. W Fair.
Some gentlemen say that Congress
has the power to make money, and
want to ask them one question;
want you to think about it; if this
Government has the power to make
money, why should it collect taxes
from us? Why don't they make it
and let US alone? Ifthis Government
can make q dollar or thousand dol
bill just that quick (slapping his
hands together), why should they
make us labor day and night. and
make us pay taxes to support them !
If the Government can make money
let them make it and let us alone
But, instead of that, this great Gov
ernment comes up here in this coun-
try with the Dayonet and compels you
to pay taxes. 1t is like the ocean
trotting around to borrow a little
salt water, or like the sun trying to
get the loan Of candle from some
poor devil that has worked weeds to
make that candle. So say to them,
