"Would you like to know how prime
steam lard is made?" asked an eX-Mil-
waukee packer of the reporter. $40
see the operation at its worst you should
visit the works nights and Sundays.
Then it is that diseased and decrepit
hogs are cooked and brought out into
the purest white lard by the steaming
process. A packer can make whittier
and sweeter smelling lard out of a rot
ten hog than the farm-wife can from the
pure leaf. In the leaf, you know, there
are blood tissues, and the stain cannot
be cooked out by the ordinary process.
By the steam, however, all stains are
removed, even that of the filth. Into
the tanks the packer throws bones, en-
trails, diseased hogs entire, the heads
left by the butcher, and allpleavings
that the farmer would throw away. The
steam is let in at very hot temperature
and clarifies all impurities out of the
grease. The lard separates and goes to
the top and all the other stuff to the
bottom. You would be surprised to
know that all there is remaining of the
entrails and bones is in filthy liquid
in the bottom of the tank. The lard is
drawn off the top of this to within a
half inch. Even the stains from the en-
trails have disappeared and the lard is
rs white as your paper and as sweet as
honey. The very bones are melted by
the steam, it is so hot. The smell which
you would expect from this lard is gone
and you must hunt for it down by the
riverside, where Chicago daily gets
the benefit. That is the history of prime
steam lard. Chicago Tribune.

Concerning Respect for Government.

Concerning Respect for Government.
BY far the larger portion of our voting citi-
zcns are farmers, artisans, and day laborers.
How small the proportion OF capitalists and
professional men. Yet there is q, constant
effort to array the few against the many.
The men who sit in the senate are elected by
the chosen representatives of the people in
their respective states. Those who sit in the
house of representatives are chosen directly
by the people of their respective congress
sional districts. These men speak for the
sovereign people who appointed them their
agents. The majority is king. And yet
a stranger coming TO our country for the first
time, and bringing no knowledge of our i'm
stitutions would think, upon reading some of
the leading newspapers, that senators and rep
rcsentatives were bad lot, and that the peo-
pie who elected them were fearfully alarmed
every day they were in session. This is because
envious men, who could not get their places,
and disappointed place hunters who aided the
unsuccessful, feed the newspapers which they
can use with sweeping denuncations Of the
men entrusted with power. Instead of an cleo
tion by the people being accepted as to some OK
tent certificate of worth and ability, a few
noisy malcontents so fill the air with impre-
cations against them, that one would think
they had Just been convicted of crime instead
of having been exalted in public favor. The
flippant and threadbare declaration that " the
people breath easier" will go the rounds
when congress adiourns in March, just as II
will in each state upon the adjournment OF
the legislature thereof, and just as it has
under like circumstances for years past
Is no loyalty due to the sovereign in a re-
public? Is the popular will so contemplate
a thing that those who bear its commission
are outlaws in the estimation of those who
falsely claim to represent public opinion
The fault lies exactly in that false claim.
There is too much willful and vindictive re-
bcllion against public opinion In the journal.
ism of the day; too much confidence in the
ability to tear people down by dehunciation
This is not representing intelligent pub.
lie opinion it is manufacturing public
opinion of false materials. 1t is an endeavor
to induce the people, under false information
TO elevate KnaNcs ana tear down hOnest men
The people, when correctly informed, will dc
substantial justice, but inaamed with false
hoods which they have no means of testing
they cannot in the nature of things avoid
committing serious mistakes. If there had
been some such newspapers in Jerusalem
eighteen centuries ago as some we have
in this country, there would now
be very numerous sect earnestly ant
honestly maintaining that JUDAS 1scARGo1
was crucifled to save sinners, and that JEsU!

encompassed his death. Genuine and SINGER,
journalism should do all in its power to ofIse
the bad influence of the false and the mis-
chievous who labor incessantly to break VI

RHEA IN GAN UNEQUAL MATCH"
Madame Rhea last evening played the part
of Hester Grazebrook in "An Unequal Match
before an audience whosenumbcrs constituted
about as distinct compliment as could well
have been paid her The play is one of tho
purest and most interesting comedies the
last half century has added to the liter
ature of tho English stage, and its
beauties, growing as they do with
its progression- would hold admiration
steadily through even very bad perform
ance. How we'll they were appreciated on
this occasion, when the performance was in
some respects good and in none positively
stupid, may be imagined Few such pieces
have been produced since the high and palmy
days of Sheridan and his immediate prede-
cessors, when the theater was not only the glass
of fashion, but school of manners and the
medium through which the brightest minds
chose to transmit their brightest thoughts.
1t mounts like fame and sparkles like o ring
of icwcls-true flame and the flash of honest
gems. Its return to use, and the favor that
grects it, argue happily for change in taste
by which vaudeville, riot, bad mclodrama,
worse farce and what is known MS "bur-
lesque" may be retired from the fore
most places they usurped five or six
years ago. It is noticeable the pres
ent season that IL is possible to command
attention with real plays; that for the first
time SINCE the regnant system Of travelling
companies took possession of the thcater it is
even profitable to offer good plays, and to do
them wcll. Every attempt In this direction
has been handsomely received, and every
fresh attempt deserves applause. A very dis
tinct appreciation of this tJrbds as close
scrutiny of last evenings playing as
might otherwise be given It. The entertain
ment was a most grateful one in many ways
TO consider how much of its success was at
tributablo to the play itsolf, and how much to
the acting, is q task that will not here be
taken up with any particularly. The anoma-
lous effect of heavy foreign accent in
the speech of m English country girl,
whose surroundings are all at variance
with it in every aspect of that possibility
which is part of dramatic law, is one of the
things that must be taken for granted in csti
mating Rhea's work and being so taken and
allowed for, with some dissent from hei
opinion as to the voice power required in
scenes of an emotional nature, her Hester
calls for approval and in occasional CLEANS
for admiration. The impression it leaves
is of clear intelligence, hampered by meth
ods and conditions adverse to its own com
plete expression. In other words, the i'm
preston is that Madame Rhea could tell how
Hester should be played better than Madam,
| Rhea can play Hester. The BlCnkinsop o
Mr.. Cooper and the Harry Arnclile of Mr.
/ Reynicr may be mentioned as meritorious-
MIR. Coopers work being especially commend
able for its freedom from that low comedy ex
aggeraton by which parts like Blenkinsop ar,
commonly made to suffer. The other part
were very well carried, excepting that of Capt
Chillingham.

At 2 o'clock to-day Mr.. Morrill, will call up
the tariff bill reported by him to the senate
on Thursday last, and will ask for its imme-
diate consideration. The committee have dis.
covered what appear to them good and suht-
cient reasons for changing their views in re-
gard to several of the rates proposed by the
BILL and yesterday instructed their chairman
to offer several amendments, as the subject
matters affected by them are reached in the
discussion of the bill. The most important of
these changes arc the following; TO correct
an error by which the rates ON cast polished
plate glass were fixed at 20 cents'per square
foot, on plates exceeding "a by 80 inches and
not exceeding "a by 60; and 40 cents per
square foot on all plates above "a by go inches.
The amendment will restore the rates to
25 and 80 respectively as now imposed.
The subject cut tacks, bTads, and sprgs
(Which We're omitted from the schedule pro-
posed by the committees bill to the same
duty as now imposed. To place bone black
and bone char under one section instead OF
two as now proposed and fix the duty at ~
per cent. ad valorcm instead of / of one cent
per pound. To fix the duty ON building stone
at $3.50 per ton instead of 81 rs proposed
by the bill, and upon gindstones, both finished
and unfinished, to fix the duty at 81 pen
ton, .
At the meeting yesterday the .jute schedule
was referred to subcommittee.
1t was decided to change the limit In the
sugar schedule from 10 Dutch standard to 10
retaining the same rate, II cents per pound on
all sugars from those testing 80 saccharinc
strength by the p0lariscope, up to No. IL
Dutch standard, and reserying for future ac,
tion by the committee the fixing of the rates
upon all sugars above No, 10 Dutch standard
Several changes in the chemical schedule
will probably be recommended by the COM
mitteo, who will to-day specially consider this
schedule

Smallpox.

There is no wish on the part of this journal
to excite undue fears of smallpox epidemic
here but plain duty would be neglected If
warning were not given of very grave dan
ger which threatens the city Baltimore is
but forty miles away, and smallpox is cpl
dcmic in Baltimore. it is reported upon au-
thority that cannot be questioned that over
three thousand cases are now under treatment
there. Last week seventy-nine cases resulted
fatally within the city lines, notcounting those
at the pesthouse, which is outside the lines. A
condition of things such as this, and 50 close
at hand, cannot be regarded without uneaSi-
ness. 1t will not be possible to wholly pre-
vent the appearance of the disease in Wash
ington (ndeed, 1t has already appeared, but
means arc at the command Of the health
officers whereby its importation may be
checked and its course controlled. Quaran-
tine should be established against Baltimore.
Such measure is not to be thought of with
out reluctance, but it is demanded by the
merest considerations of safety.

Mr. HAMILTON suggested sailors hospital,
which suggestion was finally carried out.
After the testators death n crop of relatives
sprung up, and the estate was in litigation for
thirty years AZ last the win was sustained.
Much Of the property was Now York real
estate which increased enormously in value,
and the amount in 1880 at command of the
trustees enabled them to carry out the design
on the largest scale The surplus income was
used for many years in adding to the build
ings, but as there are now accommodations for
nearly three hundred more pensioners than
they have they are reinvesting the excess.
This does not appear to make it necessary to
loyy greater sum on the American sailors
than enough to provide for them in foreign

II Might Mave Been Worse.

The disaster which befoll the Inman
steamer the City of Brussels follows hard
upon the cutting down of the Edam with
destruction of the steamer and loss of life
1t is providentiul that the City of Brussels
was on an outward instead of an inward yoy-
age, as the Inman line carries an immense
percentage of the steGrage travel of the At
lantic. The Kirby Hall appears to have been
going at ordinary speed in the midst of n
dense fog-the greatest danger which an
ocean steamer has to encounter. Passengers
usually feel relief when they are nearing
land, but then their real danger only begins.
1t is customary on transatlantic steamships
for the captain to remain on the bridge from
the time Fastnet light is sighted until the
steamer is anchored in tho Mersey. "Tho
captain has taken his last meal at the table I"
is a common remark toward the close of the
voyage. When land is approached the cap
tain never leaves his post except for necessary
sleep, and his meals are served to him wherever
he happens to be. Capt LAND was whore he
should have been, and the GOODNESS and pres
ence of mind of the officers and crew are
highly commended, But the Kirby Hall was
in a condition which the law specifically for
bids. She had only about four or five seamen
on board, and it is supposed relied upon get.
ting her complement at Liverpool, where she
was to complete her cargo. But because she
was not half manned she could not lower a
