Growth and prosperity. Is that
reason for smashing the system that
works so well. in order to adopt any
new and untried plan?
The Republican party is proud of
the magnificent results of its work
thus far. 1t has made mistakes, of
course. 1t is not wholly blind to its
own faults. But it knows that, with
all its feelings and errors, it has given
the country for many years a wiser
and better government than any
other the world has yet seen here or
anywhere else. when change of
policy is proposed. Republicans will
take great care to satisfy themselves
that it will result in substantial and
sure Improvement before they cOun-

Washlngton's Salvation.

A Washington D. Co. paper of
Democratic tendencies. says: when
the Republican party came into.
power, twenty years ago, it found
Washington an unsightly mudhoIe.
The transformation subsequently
wrought, which made Washington
the handsoufest and eleanest city in
the world, and gave it something Of
the character that benefit the capital
of the greatest and NEST enlightened
Of nations, WAS all the work of the
Republican party. 1t was impossible
for even Democratic parsimony and
stupidity toy undo what had been
done. The tremendous boom in
building, that marked the earlier part,
of the past season, was the direct re-
suit of the aetiOn of Republican
Congress last fall. A distinguished
architect is our authority for the
statement that, during the three
weeks Immediately following the
announcements Of the congressional
result, last November, he had more
proposals for plans than during any
proceeding Ahree years since 1874.
This fact of itself is a sufficient COM
mentary. Whatever may be said of

Republicans and Independents.

The coalition between the Indepen.
dent Democrats and Republicans is
still talked of, but the Republicans
at their conference last Friday deter
mined that they would agree TO
coalition if the terms made by the
Independents are fair and equitable,
They are willing to aid them if the
y. L.. DIS are disposed to make a
fair division of the offices. The Re.
publicans, as heretofore stated, want
the Treasurer, but they will not in
sist on that point if the independents
desire that official. but they maintain
that the 0. L. DIS should not havs
all of the fruits of a fusion. On one
thing Republicans are thoroughly
agreed-that they will not eoalesce
merely for the sake of getting the
Democrats to pass registration and
primary election bill. They contend
that the Democratic party is pledged
as solemnly as it possibly can be to
the carrying out of these reforms,
and it is not the province of the Re.
publican party to make a bargain
with any wing of the opposition to
secure what they had pledged them.
selves to DO. If the Democratic ma
jority fails to pass these bills, the
Republican party will nok beiniured
by it. Within the last few DAYS the
Republicans have been rather appre-
hensive that there wo@ld not be a
sufficient number of Democrats in
dependent and bold enough to DEFY
the caucus, and that the sing, rather
than suffer the defeat byssGch means,
would delude the 'lndepenGsents" by
promises of Office, and il that does
not accomplish its object by threats
of reading the recaleitrant Democrats
out of the party. There will he a
strong pressure on the part OF Gov.
HamlltOn's friends to- protest against
the holding of any caucus. and that
the election of the Officers of the two
houses and the Treasurer be made in
open session, without the interfer-
ence ola secret eonclave. They hope
that their efforts whl be successful,
and it is in this way only that the
Governors friends have any chance
of electing their candidate. Cover.
nor Hamilton has NOT named his man
for treasurer, and the Hamiltonians,
therefore are ran wasting in the dark
They say, hOWever, that any good
man not identified with the ring will
suit the Governor. He prefers a

the ground, as he claims, that the
business interest Of the canal should
beparamonnt to itspoIitical interests.

A Garfield Tablet.

A memorial tablet commemorative

the tablet will be erected. On either
side Of the tablet appear the emblems
of the strength of the Union, sur
mounted in the centre by the eagle

President Arthur's Message.

The first message of the new Presi-
dent Is, in the main, plain. matter
Of-fact, business-l Like document, made
up principally from the reports of his
Cabinet officers, to most OF whose
recommendations as to future legisla-
ton he gives a warm support. Its
most salient features are renewed
declaration of the right of the United
States alone to guarantee the neutral
ity of the Panama canal free from
European interference announce
ment of the purposes for which spe-
cial enveys have been sent to Chilli
and Peru; the formulation of the
Treasury program the statement of
vigorous policies regarding the In
dian and Mormon questions; an
earnest endorsement of the PROPOSE
lions for increasing the numerical
strength of the army, strengthening
cur sea- coast defences and creating
good navy ; suggestions for national
aid to education and internal inn
provements an extended treatment
of the civil service reform problem,
and the pressing upon Congress of
the necessity of legislation to deter
mine how the electoral vote shall be
ascertained and declared, and def
Hilton Of the clause Of the Constitu-
tion which provides that. sin case of
the removal of the President from
office, Or of his death. resignation or
inability to discharge the powers and
duties of said Office, the same shall
develop upon the Vice. President.
There is a very forcible presenta-
ton of the Indian question and the
wretched makeshifts which have
been adopted in dealing with it.
The President would decide it once
for all by making the Indians subject
to the laws of the sta ties or territories
within which their reservations are
located. breaking up the tribal rela-
ton by alloting lands to them in
:severalty. and passing liberal appro-
priations for education of the Indian
youth. Concerning polygamy, he
advocates the sternest measures in
stamping it out among the Mormons,
instances what amendments of the
laws are requisite for this purpose,
and assures Congress that it may rely
upon his energetic cooperation. No
passage of the message will be more
pleasing to the country than this one.
But it is the Presidents handling
of the matter of civil service reform
that VIII enlist the largest degree of
attention inside and outside of legis-
iative halls. Recognizing the evils
which stain the existing system of
seeking and dispensing patronage.
he isyet:an antagonist of the English
plan of making success in standing

The appetite often Graves food which
the stomach rejects; but long period
of forcing enables it to receive it under
protest. Nor is it the quantity of food
that is nourishing, but the quality. A
pound of choice meat at twenty cents
is worth rs much for nutriment as two
pounds of inferior meat at ten cents.
An egg is one of the best and most nu-
tritious articles of dietsthat can be put
on the table, and the less it is cooked
the more valuable its digestive and as
similating properties. Since oatmeal
has become delicacy, retailing all the
way from four to twenty five cents a
pound, according to localities, people
of wealth add it to their cuisine as a
valuable breakfast dish. Carlyle says
of Lord Macaulay: ''Well, any one can
see that you are an honest, good sort
of fellow, made out of oatmeal" There
is O story told of shrewd Scotchman
who useI to tell her fine, healthy
BARNS, 1.-the one that eats the maist
parritch viii get the maist meat"
And when the meat came there was no
room for it.
The apologist for national dish
says: .sIf oatmeal can make such men
as Sir Walter Scott, Dir. Chalmers and
Lord Macaulay, we may well heap high
the porridge dish and bride our chill
dren to eat it. One thing we do know.
1t is far better for the blood and brain
than cake, confectionery. and the score
of delicacies on which many pale chill
dren are fed by their foolish mothers"

Art of Life,

The art of living is one of the slow
est in development of all the arts of
civilization. 1t is only when men are
driven by grim disease and death that
they begin to give attention to the air
they breathe and the hygienic quality
of the food and drink they consume.
Nature BIAS undoubtedly planted in the
human organization tastes and instincts
to guide men in these matters. but
these guides are mostly UNDECIDED To
q very large extent indeed they are
overridden and extinquished by I'M
natural ways of living. See for exam
pie how the world betakes itself in
quest of enjoyment to crowded assem-
blies, to draWing-rooms, halls or thea
tres where the excess of heat and light
and the lack of ventilation make poi
son of the most insittiou5 and destruc-
tive kind as we'll as very oppressive
punishment. So.in hundreds of other
ways the plain dictates OF sense and
reason are ignored. The physician has
the errors and incongruities of social
life forced daily on his attention. He
does his best to realize his patients out
of their most urgently mischievous fol-
lies; but for the most part the words
of wisdom falling from his lips light
on stony hearts and barren brains.
Society has plenty of courage in the
main. but its members lack the most
virtuous form of valor, the courage 10

A. Telescope Story.

An extraordinary story is told re-
specting q monster telescope made by
Professors Lefeyre and Longtour,
French scientists, erected ut San Fran
cisco. The lenses are twenty feet in
diameter, and this is what happened
when the astronomers and their friends
m. Dufrere was the first to apply his
eye to the eye-piece of the telescope.
For fully five minutes he looked on its
speechless amazement. then, without a
word, turned away to hide his emotion.
One by one those present tested the tel
escope, exhibiting their astonishment
in various ways. The planet which
happened to cast its beams upon the
great speculum was Mars, and the rev.
elarion is too wonderful for credit. The
eye-piece of the lowest magnifying
power was first placed on, when the
planet presented. a most astounding
sight. The powerful lens brought the
surface of the planet nearer than that
of the moon has ever been brought by
the most powerful telescope. The
green of the sea was brought out In
unmistakable color, and one could al
most imagine he could see the waves
upon the surface. There before the
eye was spread out 0 splendid panora-
ma of hill and dale, dark patches That
must be covered by forests, great vel
low patches that looked like autumn
fields, siIvery threads that must be riv-
ers, and several unmistak able volcanoes

How to Tell a Good Potato,

Here is a good place to impart what
is secret to the vast majority of peo-
pie, and it is one well worth knowing.
1t is simple how to tell q good potato;
that is, as we'll as can be done without
cooking it, for sometimes even experts
are deceived. Take sound potato.
and paying no attention to its outward
appearance, divide it into two pieces
with your knife and examine the ex-
posed surfaces. If there is so much
water or Juice that seemingly a
slight pressure would cause it to fall off
in drops, you may be sure it will be
'ssoggy" after it is boiled. These are
the requisite qualities for good potato
which must appear when one is cut in
two; For color, a yellowish white; if it
is deep yellow the potato viii not
cook we'll; there must be considerable
amount of moisture, though not too
much; rub the two pieces together, and
a white froth will appear around the
edges and upon the two surfaces; this
signifies the presence of starch, and the
more starch, and consequently froth,
the better the potato. while the less
there is the poorer it will cook. The
strength of the starchy clement can be
tested by releasing the hold upon one
piece OF the potato, ana IL 1t still eflngs
to the other, this in itself is very good
sign. These are the experiments gem
orally made by experts, and they are
ordinarily willing to buy on the strength
of their turning out well, though, as
stated above, these tests are by no
means infallibie. The anti-Chinese ele-
ment of society will not like the infor-
nation that a very large percentage of
the potatoes consumed in this market
are raised by Cinnamon, but such is the
case. The ''River Reds" our cheapest
potato. which is grown along the banks
of the Sacramento river, are raised al
most exclusively by the heather, who
ship them to the commission mer-
chants, from whose stores they go to
hotels, boarding-houses and private
families all over the city, and a few
