How to Cook Rice.

Rice Is becoming a much more popular
article Of food than heretofore. It Is ire
quentIy substituted for potatoes at the
chief meal Of the day, being more nutri-
ti0us and much more readily digested. At
its present cost, 1t Is relatively cheaper
than potatoes, oatmeI or grain girts of any
kind In preparing it only Just enough
cold water should be poured on to prevent
the rice from burning at the bottom Of the
pot. which should have close-htting
cover, and with moderate ire the rice Is
steamed rather than boiled until it Is
nearly done; then the cover is taken of,
the surplus steam and moisture allowed
10 escape, and the rice turns out mass
of sn0w-white kernels, each separate from
the other, and Is much superior to the
usual s0ggy mass As q fine mealy potato
Is superior to the water soaked article

TWO OUTRRGEs.

The New York Tribune published re-
Gently an account of the election from
railway train in Alabama of negro cler-
gyman and ms wife, the circumstance re-
vealing great deal of brutality on the
part of the conductor The New York
World, to break the force of the account
and create the impression that the occur
renee was one of no race significance, re-
printed the story Of the murder of a col
ored barber and his wife by a mob in Darke
county, Ohio. The Tribune responds by
showing clearly that in one case the out
rage was due to race prejudice, and in the
other was wholly free from it. Two resi-
dents Of Brooklyn of high standing vouch
for the truth of the Alabama episode.
They were in the ear when the clergyman
and his wife were elected, notwithstanding
the fact that the couple held tickets guar
anteeing them the right to ride in that car
and in the seats they occupied. One of
the white men left his wife to expos
tulate with the conductor, whereupon
that official summoned band of rufiians
to drive out the accursed Yankees with
bowie knives and rcvolyers. The COR
ductor followed the man to his hotel who
had the effrontery to talk up" for Mig
ger" and there fell upon him, knocked
him down. and furiously kicked and bru-
tally beat him. The Brooklyn man was
thus .eAted for daring to suggest that the
tickets Of the clergyman and his wife Sc
cured them the place they occupied in the
car. In the Ohio case the barber and his
wife were incorporate and quarrelsome,
and had excited the enmity of the people
of their own race, as well as OF many whites
The mob was cowardly gang, and com
mitted y heinous crime. The people of
the town repudiated the act, and public
sympathy went out at once to the vic
Tins, while the authorities took prompt
action, and the probabilities are that the
murderers will receive their deserts on the
scafoid There is no parallel between the
cases. 1t would be Just as unfair to charge
the people of the North with responsible
ity for the act of the mob, as to lay the
brutality OF the conductor and his gang Of
rufians at the door of all the people in the
South. But it Is a fact that in the Ohio
case the sentiment of the people con-
demns the act OF the mob, while in the
Alabama case the local sentiment extend
ed no sympathy to the beaten Northerner,
and did not call the conductor to account
for his brutal acts. The Ohio case proves
nothing but the baseness of mob rule the
Alabama case reflects the sentiment OF that
portion of the people that refuse to accept
the political equality of the black man as
an accomplished fact With such men as
George ". Cable preaching the right doc
trine of duty to the people of the South
and being received rs he is by enthusiastic
audiences, we are unwilling to believe the
Alabama incident to be anything more
than one of the expiring throes of the
remnants of ignominy left by the system of
slavery. But this detracts nothing from
the brutality Of the outrage, or the shame
of the community that tolerates it. The
South is being regenefated but the process
of new birth is not yet complete
