RAILROAD WARS.

An intelligent merchant who resides
at a station on the b. * o. railroad hay
ing seen this statement ia print, writes
to the REGISTER to know how it i:
.In view of the present rate war
among railroads, il seems that the anti
monopoly people Ofthe present Legisla-
ture will have no tenable grounds for
commOtiOn, inaSmuCh Is the war Of
rates has brought about exactly what
they the anti-mOnopOlistS) have want
ell"
1t is tine opinion of the REGISTER that
these rate wars are pernicious from
every possible standpoint. They are
profitless to the stakeholder, of the road
engaging i'm them; they demOralihe
trade affected by them by making rates
uncertain, and usually they Cypress the
local shipper by attempting to make
him foot losses incurred at competitive
points.
Railroads which deliberately enter up
on these fights for freights ut cOmpcti-
tive points, and which carry freightS be-
tween such points AT a loss, ought To he
compelled by Congress to treat allpoints
not competitive exactly rs the Others
are treated.
We do not believe State legislation
can reach the evil, except so far rs to
regulate railroads lying wholly within 4
single State, but Congress will yet he
forced to enact general laws applicable
alike to all railroads.

A LIVE BILL UPON A LIVELY SUB.

to abolish il.
This is a live subject. 1t has more vi
tality than appears on the surface. We
are clad that the Legislature will be af-
forded an opportunity of expressing it.
self on the subject. The bill will do good
service if it does nothing more than
this.
There Is a more latent feeling on this
subject among parents throughout the
State than many people believe. We
say il is live subject-One of the liveli-
est of the day. 1t is privilege
If it is privilege at all
that is being abused in many schools,
and no teacher or no bad
law of the school room should
be allowed to stand in the way
of any parent who desires TO educate
his children in the public schools.
Many parents will want to know what
the Legislature has to say about this
matter.
Reasons innemerable have been and
can be offered IN excuse for flogging
children in the schools, but about the
only incentive thai ever existed was the
ugly temper of the teacher. Children
are whipped when their teachers are
bad tempered, and OIrY then.
A child can be flOggeS at less eXpen-
diture of time orthoughtthanan any other
punishment would require. Besides

If teachers had sufficient brain to an
alive their motives when they flag, it
would appear to them, as to Others, that
the impelling motive, without eXcep-
ton, springs from a lack of professional
tact on their part rather than from a
lack ofanything for which the victim Is
responsible.
1T Is a significant sign of the improve
ment of the race that the general feel
ing Is against fiogging as a means of
reformation. In spite of all attempts to
paIiiate professional brutality the fact
remains that it is better to rule by kind

DIR. sEwMAN,s NEW 'DEPARrURE,

The Washington Post has the follow
ing explanation of the withdrawal of
the Rev. DIR. Newman from the MethO-
dist church:
''The Rev. DR.. Newman'S recent az
ton i'm severing his connection with the
Methodist church andaccepting the pas
tOrate of the Madison Avenue COngre-
gatiOnal church, New York, will prob
ably give interest To the fact, hitherto
unpublished, that that learned and elO-
quent divine, prior to making the final
decision, to withdraw from the church
of which he had been one Of the most
eminent divines for many years, had
indicated, in a private and semi-confi-
Dental way, that if the MetropOl-
itan Methodist Episcopal church
of Washington, of which he was pastor
for some six years, and which was ut
the time referred to in debt to the
amount of thirty or forty thousand dol
Lars, would dissolve its connection
entirely with the Methodist Conference
and become an Independent Methodist
Episcopal church, and call him TO its
paStorate, he would accept such pastor
ate, withdrawing himself from the
Methodist Conference, and would be-
come individually and personally re-
SpOnSible for the payment of the entire
debt of said church. Becoming satisfied
that the Metropolitan church would not
approve his proposition, and feeling, as
did many of his admirers and friends,
that his claims for advancement to y
bishops robes, which he had sought
and which had failed of recognition at
the hands of the General Conferences, at
several meetings of that ecclesiastical
body, would continue to be overlooked,
he finally decided upon the step which
he has since taken-a step which has
created no small stir i'll the VI. T..
Church"
There is not much need of going into
details to explain the sunmersault TO
those who have watched the reverend
gentleman's course for the past few
years. Two words, disappointed ambi-
ton, furnish very full and accurate eX-
PLANTATION.
DIR. NEWMAN has for several years
aspired to higher official recognition in
his church than he got. He is man
who possesses very decided self-appre-
citation of his, by no means mean, abil
ities-higher than the body of his CO.
churchnien have accorded him. He Is
ambitious. He loves place
and position. He is fiattered
with the recognition of great
men. Ii he had not been u preacher, he
would have been q politician, and he
comes near being both. GRANT has
given him more than ordinary recogni-
ton. He attended his church while
President, and sent. him on tour.

Grants First Display of
COWardice.
st. Louis Globe Democrat

At the marriage of John Russell
Young to Miss coleman at Hart
ford recently, Gen. Grant was a
guest, and when the ceremony was
over the company waited for the
General to take precedence in ex-
tending congratulations. The Gen
eral went forward, leading his pretty
little granddaughter, Fred Grants
child, by the hand land after shaking
hands with the bride, said to his
grandchild, "Won't you kiss the
lady ?" The bride caught the child
in her arms, kissed it, and then
looked up and blushingly said: 81
would like to kiss the grandfather,
too, if l dared" The vetran war
rior, who had often faced a blazing
battery seemed all at once to become
a trembling coward. He flushed up,
looked sheepish, but conscious that
the bride was peeping at him from
behind dropping eyelids and was
waiting for him to say or do some
thing, mechanically extended his
hand, and the next moment fair
face was in his beard, imprinting a
kiss upon the line that marked his
mouth. He seemed to be in trem-
or as he grasped his grandchild's
hand and backed away. All the
young gallants were surprised at the
cowardice of an old soldier before a
pair of fresh, inviting lips.

Home Matters.

Light brown biscuits for tea are
made of one pint of graham flour,
one pint of sour cream, one tea
spoonful of soda; roll them out as
for any biscuit, and bake in a mod
crate oven.
When making molasses candy or
when boiling maple molasses, there
is always more or less danger of its
running over on the stove. A small
lump of butter dropped in when its
bubbles begin to rise will prevent it.
A nourishing and pleasant drink
for sick person is made of parched
rice. Brown the rice the same as
you do coffee; then pour boiling
water with a little salt in it over the
rice. Let it boil until it is tender,
then add sugar and cream to it. 1t
may be strained or not.
Ink stains on black walnut furni-
ture may be removed by touching
the spots with a feather wet in a
solution of nitre and water. AS
soon as the stains are erased rub
the places with a cloth dipped in cold

repeat the operation, making the So

A large and strong table is abso-

will be found much nicer than a
swinging shelf, and far easier to lift
jars upon. If your cellar should be
infested by insects one way to keep
them from the top of the table is to
place the legs of the table in empty
tin cans, and then fill them with oil
or water.

Have plenty of crash towels in the
kitchen; never let your fine towels be
used there.
Never leave out your cloths line
over night, and see that your clothes
pins are put into basket.
Walls which have been used for
medicine should be put in coal ashes
and water, boiled, and suffered to
cool before they are rinsed.
A little salt sprinkled in starch
while it is boiling tends to prevent
it from sticking; it is likewise good
to stir it with a clean spermaceti
candle.
To keep lamps from smoking soak
the wicks before using in either
strong vinegar or alum water; dry
them thoroughly and your lamps
will not smoke or smell disagreeable.
A good housekeeper never allows
her carpet broom to be used for
sweeping the outside stairs or yard;
keep a coarse broom for that pur-
pose.
Keep a heavy stone on your pork
to keep it down; in the summer this
stone is an excellent place to keep
fresh meat on when your are afraid

When molasses is used for cooking
it is an Improvement to boil and to
skim it before you use it. 1t takes
out the unpleasant, raw taste and
makes it almost as good as sugar.
Keep an old blanket and sheet on
purpose for ironing. Have plenty
of holders always made that your
towels may not be burned out in
service.
Soap your dirtiest clothes and
scald them in warm water over
night. Use hard soap to wash your
clothes and soft to wash your floors.
Soft soap is SO slippery that it wastes
a good deal in washing clothes.
A delicious fish sauce is made of a
half cup of butter, one tablespoon
full of parsley chopped very fine, a
little salt and pepper, and the juice
of two small lemons or one large

that you can easily beat it to a
cream, then mix with the other in
gradients, putting the parsley in
last, just before sending it to the
table.
