reporter OF THE CRITIC asked Congress-
man Charles Morgan yesterday who he
thought Missouri would support at Chicago
for nominations on the Democratic ticket.
"Tilden and Hendricks" 81 think, Will get
the solid vote of Missouri In the convention"
was his answer.
''But they say Tilden can't walk that he is
paralyzed In the legs" put In the reporter.
"That reminds me OF a little circumstance
that took place out In n little town in my dis
tfict" said Mr.. Morgan. "There were two
men out there who were very fond Of playing
poker with each other. One OF them was all
doubled up with rheumatism In his feot and
legs, but his hands were all right. He was an
expert in manipulating the four kings, conse-
quently he beat his friend every time they
played. His friend got mad one day and be-
gan to rave and swear at him, called him
dSd crippled-up being, nc. After he had gotten
through, the crippled fellow quietly said, Bob,
II would be we'll for you II IL were In my hands
IN place OF my feet. And, Think added Mr..
Morgan, 1T would be we'll for the Republican
party and the opponents OF Mr.. Tilden II the
paralysis were in his head instead Of his
legs.'b

TIE Post, as was to bo expected, has
changed its views on the tariff question.
Whether this change has been brought
about by the fact that Mr.. Tilden's nomina.

for "a tariff for revenue only, with uu-

THE Post has the undoubted right to

Hen. John HALEY Gives Braef HIS
derry OF fepublicanism ana MOT
mcuissu in Idaho.

mouism i'm Idaho,
Mr.. Haley, in his speech at Lew
iston, took up the Mormon question,
saws the Nez Perez News, and stat
ed that it was disgrace to the ma
ton and should be put out OF exis-
tence by the Legislative councils OF
the nation, the powers of which were
able to do so, but, said he, it is too
good hobby for designing politi-
clans to ride into Office upon to be
done away with. The councils OF the
nation granted the right OF citizen
ship to Mormons, yet, if they DO not
vote with the party in power, the cry
il raised to cut them down. Mr..
Haley then gave a little history OF
the Mormon question in Idaho, which
is as follows:
"In 1868, when J. K. Shafer was
running on the Democratic ticket for
Delegate to Congress, and I. J. But
Ter on the Republican ticket, these
now Mormon haters loved the Nor
mons and thought their vote worth
looking after. So they sent ID. w.
Ballard, then Republican Governor
of Idaho, and one Charles Powell,
acting Indian agent, to Malad City
to secure the Mormon vote for their
nominee. At that time the county OF
Bear Lake had not been organized,
but it was all Oneida county. Two
emissaries, Ballard and Powell, ar
irving at Malad, held council with
Ben White and other prominent Re-
publicans, and after putting up the
job, completed the arrangements to
have but one ticket in the field on
election day, and that ticket to have
the name of Hon. T. j. Butler at the
head for Delegate to Congress, an
other Republican for Sheriff, and the
balance of the ticket filled up with
Mormons. The maneuver was adml-
rably successful, for they got the
whole vote of the county, }. *. Sha-
the Democratic nominee not receiv'
ing a single one. y =
In 1872 Maj. Joe w. Huston was
republican nominee for delegate tc
congress. and that party wanted the
Mormon vote for him-needed it il
their business and had to have it
And as the gallant Joe was fine
orator it was decided that he SHOULD
go and stump Oneida and bring the
Mormonback to vote solid for the re
publican nominee, as Ballard ant
White had previously done. u
In 1874 we find the chairman
of the republican territorial centra
committee trying to get the Mormon
vote, ana ne even went TO Salt LAX
City to see the head men of the Nor
mon church in endeavoring to gre
their influence to induce the Nor
mons to vote for T. w. Bennett, til
republican nominee for congress. Blu
the said chairman was given to un
derstand that the Mormons preferre
to vote for S. S. Fem, the democrat
nominee; and after vainly wrestlin
with the saints for few days he lei
in disgust and returned to the cap
tai.

These directions are given only for
! handling butter when gathered in a
solid mass in the churn, not because
that is supposed TO DC the best way to
gather it, but because it is the common
way, and is likely TO be continued by
many for some time TO come. IL is de-
sirable 10 make those who are in rut
and 30 not see now 10 yet out, rs COM
forJaOlc as possIu.r in their old and

to collect the butter into Il solid mass
At all, but 10 stop the churn just be-
tore it is ready TO gather, when it will
rise quickly to the top and separate
readily from the buttermilk.
As much of the buttermiik is then
drawn of as well can be, and good
water or weak brine Il few degrees be-

turned plentifully into the churn and
the churn slowly worked till the but

and more put in, and the operation re-
peated till the water will come off clear.
While being thus washed, if the tenn
perature is right, the butter will form
into granu,es from the size of hay seed
to that Of peas. according to the tenn
peraturc the colder it is the finer the
granules. They should not be too fine;
about the size of apple-seeds is best.
When thus formed, the granules will
ticle of buttermilk inside of them.
They can be readily handled without
adhering, making it an easy matter to
separate the buttermilk by washing
only, thus avoiding wholly the inevita-
BILE injury done by working the butter
milk out. This leaves the grain Of the
butter perfect, and gives to it the high
est possible flavor, the finest appear

An Intelligent WasherwOman.

A certain young lady left the house
where she boards in this city for day S
visit in the country, and as it was Mon
day she left directions with the lady of
the house to give the washerwoman
her weeks washing when she called.
The washing was done up in news
paper, and that was the only bundle of
| the kind in the room, so there could be
no mistake
On her return in the latter part of
the afternoon she discovered that her
washing had not been taken. Further
more, there appeared to have been
trouble in the house and the sulphur
Gus odor of profanity pervaded the at
mosphere. A young man who occu-
pied a room on the floor below her was
raving up and down, vainly seeking for
a costume which he had hired for a
masquerade party on that night. & She
heard him declare that he had left it
in his room rolled up in newspaper;
that it was gone, and he was just S25
and good time out by the loss of it.
The young lady Immediately tumbled
to the state of things. Her washer
woman had gone into the wrong room
and taken the suit instead of the bundle
of soiled clothes. She volunteered
this explanation to the young man, and
he agreed to escort her to the house of
the offending washerwoman and recov-
er the property.
The house was found after consid-
cradle search, but no one appeared to
be at home. They pounded the door
of the little hut-it was some distance
out of the city-but got no reply. At
length they walked around to the back
door, and there in the yard they saw
to their horror the costume suspended
from clothes line, having been wash
ed and hung out to dry. 1t had lost
its original brightness, and not only
this, but its original size. 1t had been
intended for a man six feet high, and
had shrunk in the wash till it wouldn't
go on small boy. The colors had run
together, and plumes and spangles
were in the last stages of dilapidation
from contact with the scrubbing board.
An exclamation that was almost an
oath burst from the young mans lips,
but just at that moment the washer
woman appeared at the door.
"Oh, what did you do it forp Didn't
you know better? What did you think
could do with those thingsP" ex-
claimed the young lady. Now, you
don't sayP" was the reply. "Ain't
they yournP thought they were the
queerest-looking under clothes l ever
did see, but you can't tell nothing
about fashions nowadays, and"
