McCook weekly tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 188?-1886, 1884-10-02

Iris significant fact that, while Eng
land is using its influence in every way
possible to encourage free trade policy
in America, there has for several years
been dissatisfaction shown by many
Englishmen toward its results there.
Even Lord Beaconsfeld intimated that
free trade was mistake, and in recent
speeches i'll the house of lords the same
view was taken. The fact is that Eng
land has outliyed the day when she can
command the commerce and control the
manufactures of the world, and as her
business is curtailcd she will have to
adopt the American plan and protect
herself by tariff laws.

The Election Law.

1t will he seen by reference to Sec
ton Art 10l of 1882, which we
publish below, that the commission
ers Of election will have to be pro-
vided with two boxes; in one box
the votes for members of Congress-
shall be deposited, in the other the
votes for electors. Here is the law:
"All general elections for Repre-
sentatives III Congress, shall be held
on the first Tuesday next following
the frs, Monday in November, 1881,
and every two years thereafter, ana
shall be conducted in the same man
ner as elections for Representatives
TO the General Assembly. except that
the names OF persons voted for as
Representatives, to Congress shall be
printed on separate ballot aud be-
deposited i'll separate box"

An Omen Of Victory.

philadelphia Times, independently
We believe that Blaine is beaten.
The popular tide as developed by the
October election, is an
unerring idex of an adverse current
against Blaine, aud an adverse Blaine
tide in the middle OF October means
a Blaine Waterloo in November.
The Ohio Blaine victory is the vicio-
ry of death. 1t makes plain the
truth that ON tue largest vote ever
polled, with the most lavish expendi-
lures ever known in any State; with
Federal officials called from their
public duties to work for the party
in nearly every precinct; with Blaine
leading the battle in exhaustive per-
sonal effort for a fortnight, and with
prohibition vote going nearly solid
for the Blaine ticket, the thoroughly
Republican State of Ohio falls fully
one half below the voluntary majcri-
ty Of October, 1880, and two thirds
below the Garfield majority.

Compressed Yeast Bread.

The following is Juliet Corson's nota-
BILE recipe: When it is possible to OBJ
tain fresh compressed yeast, also called
German yeast, an excellent bread can be
made in about two hours and half; the
rapidity of the leavening or ''raising"
the dough is advantageous because less
of the nutritive elements of the flour are
lost than by following the long process;
for two loaves of bread use three pounds
OF flour, about quart of water, two
teaspoonfuls of salt, and an ounce of
fresh compressed yeast; dissolve the
yeast in pint of lukewarm water; stir
into it sufficient flour to make thick
batter; cover the bowl containing the
batter, or sponge, with folded towel
and set 1t in warm place to rise; if
properly covered and heated it will rise
to light foam in about an hour; then
stir into it the salt dissolved in a little
warm water, add the rest of the flour
and sufficient lukewarm water to make a
dough just stiff enough to knead; knead
it five minutes, divide it into two loayes.
put them in Toured baking pans, cover
them with folded towel, and set them
in warm place to rise twice their
height.
In raising the sponge be sure that the
heat is not sufficient to ''scald' or
harden it, as that will prevent fermenta-
ton; therefore, do not place it where the
hand cannot be held with comfort;
keep it covered from draughts. If when
it is light it has become at all soured, as
it sometimes will in summer, stir into
it, before the balance of the flour, a
saltSpoOnful of baking soda dissolved in
very little water.

Only a Boy and Yet.

He was only a boy. He had taken
the softest seat in the room, hung his
cap on the floor. and was buried six feet
deep in wild Indian noveline, when
his mothers voice rung like a war
whoop through his hair. John
Henry y
He was reading just then with all the
sweet abandon of his years this thrilling
passage:
"Clad in a checked suit and a Colts
revolver he climbed on the table, and in
five minutes he had cleaned out the en-
tire ranch. The Indians were so
thrilled aud awe-struck by his youthful
bearing that they allowed him to cap
ture them on the spot, and he marched
them all, single handed, to the i'm
promptu dungeon in the rear of the cow
she'd"
John H-e-n-n-er-yp
'The Governor of the State heard of
the brave boys action, and sent him a
letter of thanks containing a check
for a thousand dollars, and a silver
plated shield with"
At this moment something struck
John Henry's ear, lifted him easily from
his seat, and transferred him bodily to
the pantry, where he was confronted
with a tin milk kettle. "You go over to
the grocery, young man, and get me two
quarts of milk, and if you amt back in
five minutes by the clock you'll think a
hull band of Comanchy Iniuns are after
you"
He went. His dream of a peaceful
and beautiful border life was rudely
shattered, but such is the wonderful
elasticity of the raw boy that he had won
bet on a dog fight in the alley, and
made an engagement to sail as first mate
on private river craft and was back on
time with that milk. Taking things
easy is one of the natural perquisites of
pure unauthorized boyhood.
