EATING CROW.
The committee on resolutions then re-
ported the usual string, renewing the
allegiance to the grand old party of lib
erty and justice; pointing to Kansas as
the friend of republican rule and the
enemy of slavery and aggression; de-
claring in favor of advancement; en-
dorsing the state platform and state
nominees; deprecating the violation of
the criminal statutes in Barber county;
demanding the strict enforcement of
all laws, and the prosecution of every
| form of lawlessness and crime. The
resolutions were unanimously adopted
and this was an evidence of the con
sistency that marked the proceedings
of the convention.
NOMINATIONS.
Nominations being in order, on mo-
ton of f. 7. Noble, the Jules were sus-
pended and Hon. T. A. McNeal was
nominated for representative by accla-
| nation.
Delegate Hopkins made the same mo-
ton and Frank Holmes was nominated
for district clerk.
Delegate Hopkins moved for an in
formed ballot on county attorney.
Mr.. McGregor, of Elwood, wanted
the other delegates from Elwood to be
allowed to cast the vote of Cummins-
ford, that precinct being without rep
resentatlon.
Mr.. Sexton wanted that precinct left
out if there were no republicans down
there.
\ motion to allow the other delegates
to cast the vote of Cumminsford was
lost; also motion to allow the conven-
tion to name delegate from that pre-
cinct. a call for even one republican
from there, failed to get response.
Nominations for county attorney be-
| ing next in order, W. Y. Bradbury
nominated r. b. Whitaker; VIM. Doles

PICKLED GREEN BEANS.

1 usually pickle good supply of green
beans, keeping them until cucumbers
come, and sometimes later. They ought
to be gathered when young and crisp.
Cut or break off the ends, and remove the
strings, though if quite small there are
few if any strings. Scald them in weak
salt water, drain well and put in a jar.
Pour on them scalding vinegar, season
with pepper, clover, mustard seed, and a
little horse-radish. After standing two
or three days pour off the vinegar and re-
scald it. If well covered, to exclude the
open air. they will keep well if not in too
warm place.

FARM ITEMS.

If your wife could only have a chea p
cook honse with plenty of doors and win
dows in it, how much would she enjoy it
for the next three month. 1t would save
sight of perspiration and unpleasant

PUT wire muzzle upon your horses
nose when cultivating the young orchard
or the corn. The animal will prove much
more tractable when relieved in this way
from temptation, and your corn and trees
will not be mutilated.
Manure is the food of plants. Don't
stint the soil of a sufficient amount of
plant food in the way of stable manure
and other available fertilizer if you ex-
pect good returns from your vegetable
and small fruit garden.
There is in cities and suburban places
a growing tendency to make use of single

There is an increasing demand for good

those who breed them.

The East and West.

1.-The question of the rivalry of the east
and west" said a gentleman recently to
the Washington correspondent of The
Cleveland Leader, "grOws more impor-
tant every year. The Atlantic seacoast
with New York as its headcenter, be-
comes more and more antagonistic to the
interests of the west, and it is only cues
ton of time when there will be great party
of the east opposed to one of the west
and south. The elementy for such parties
are forming and it seems to me when
they crystalline that the reign of New
York will be for tbs time over, and that
the great west will rule. The west has
now the major part of the voting popu-
latiOn of the United States, and it is in
the infancy of its growth, while the east
is far advanced"
''Might such a state of affairs lead to
the moving of the national capital to the
west or center of the country?"
'No! Washington city will continue to
be the capital of the United States as
long as the union lasts. The railroad
and the telegraph have made all parts of
the country near to each other, and there
is not the reason for central capital as
in the past. If you will look over the
world you will find that the great CAPT.
tails are seldom in the center of the popu-
lations over which they govern. London
is in corner of Great Britain, Paris is
in the north of France. Pekin is in the
east of China, Berlin is in the north Of
the German empire, and ST. Petersburg
is away off on one side of Russia. Then
there is too much money invested in
Washington, both by politicians and the
people, to ever allow of change of the
capital. The senators and representa-
tives now own private property in Wash
ington running high into the millions,
and there will always be large individual
interests owned by the mon who control
such movements. The government build
ings of Washington are worth at least
$1OO,000,0O0, and the parks are worth
many millions more. Then there are the
historical associations of nearlya hundred
years Of our government. No, I don't
think the capital can ever be moved, and
don't think it should be-"

How Can he Make the Farm Pay.
Live Stock Journal.

The question of making the farm pay
Is often discussed. To answer it, the
quality and condition of the farm must be
taken into consideration. If it has been
poorly titled, but naturally productive,
better tlllage may make it pay. If it is
badly exhausted by cropping without any
return to the soil of the fertilizing ma
terials taken off, it may have become so
poor that it can not be made to paw at
first, because of the cost of replOnishing
it; but if the proper ingredients are re-
turned to the soil, in a few years it can be
made to pay and yield a surplus to COM
pensate for the materials required to re-
nOvate it. A continuance of the proper
kind of treatment will not only pay, but
improve the productiveness of the farm
and make it easier to cultivate. This is
one answer the question of how to make
the farm pay. It involves the intelligence,
Judgment and skill of the farmer. Has
he the ability to make any farm pay? If
the farmer lacks in this, it is impossible
for him to make any ordinary farm pay,
and under his management the best farm
will soon cease to pay. The average run
of farmers need to put more brains to
their work, to learn more about the prin
ciples of agriculture, and qualify themsel-
yes to apply the better methods of farming
which are slowly being introduced.
They must understand that the soil is not
exhaustless-that it is only a chemical
laboratory in which the scientific and
skillful farmer produces crops by COM
bination of certain materials. Nature
presents it to him with the necessary
materials already in the alembic; but he
can not forever use these materials with
out exhausting them. So he must learn
to replace them as fast as they become
deficient, and to do it in the most econ
omical way. There must be economy
practiced both in the supply and in the
use of the material required for crop pro-
duction. This it is the business of the
farmer to study, as much as it is how to
pillow and SOW, to plant and reap. In
telligent farming always pays, in the
true sense of tee word. If a farmer has
no heavy debts hanging over him, it
must be a poor farm and poor farming
indeed that will not furnish a good sup
port for the average fomily. Of course,
sickness and misfortune may overtake
the best, but that is no fault Of the farm
or the farming. So long as anything
pays, good farming will pay. If the time
should ever come when it does not, the
end of the world or of the human race
can not come too soon.

DOM PEDRO's WAR SHIP AT NEWPORT.
The COttagers will Entertain Prince leopold
and the Brazilian Officers.

The Cottagers will Entertain Prince Leopoldo
and the Brazilian Officers.
The Brazilian war ship Admirante Bar
roso, which arrived at Newport, has been
the object of much curiosity. The vessel
anchored just outside the torpedo sta
ton, and after saluting the American flag
was saluted in turn by the guns at Fort
Adams. To-day quite number of cot
tagers have been on board and extended
Inequalities to Commodore Saldanha and
through him to Prince LeOpoldo. The
commodore was here in 1876 and visited
the torpedo station. He will take several
of his officers over to the station before
he leaves.
Quite large proportion of the officers
will run up to Boston for a day or two
during the stay of the Barroso in the
harbor. The Brazilian Charge d'Affaires,
Mr.. Da Costa, is on board, guest of the
commodore. On the way hither from
New York the commodore put the vessel
into Huntington on account of a severe
storm.
To-day the ship was not open to the
general public, and only those who called
personally upon the commodore were adj
mitted. Among the cottagers who called
was Mr.. j. u. Rosengarten, OF, Ph1ladel-
phia, who entertains great deal here.
He is an old friend of Commodore Sal
danha, whom he first met at the Centen-
NAL exhibition. Mrs. G. n. Beach has
also invited Commodore Saldanha and
his officers to a reception tomorrow at
her beautiful residence.
They will be at the Casino ball in The
evening.
When the Barroso leaves here she will
go out to sea for good. She will cruise
a little along the Atlantic, and then leave
American waters.

SUGGESTIONS ON COOKING GREEN PEAS.
We think peas need longer cooking
than the majority of persons give them:
and they are greatly improved by the ad
dition of little sugar. A teaspoonful to
pint of peas is sufficient to change
their flavor ana make them seem like a
different dish. For some of the sweeter
kinds less sugar than this may be need
ed, the saccharine element is better devel-
oped. Boil them until tender in water,
and then add milk or cream to make a
gravy. Season with butter, pepper and
salt, and very little thickening, or not
as desired. Many prefer them without
milk, and some may think the sugar su-
perduous, but to our taste it is one of the
essentials.
CANNING AND sALTING GREEN BEANS.
They are put in Gaming establishments
in large quantities, and are as good as
those freshly gathered. I think the
well. I should cut them as for the table,
cook them tender, without any seasoning,
and then pour them boiling hot into the
bottles or cans and seal them. The salicy-
lie acid will doubtless preserve them,
used as suggested. They could be kept
the same as corn, except that a teacup-
full of water should be added to six gall
on jar of the beans. There should be
3ltRrn 70 Of tho hoo1S
can see no reason why they would not
keep as well as string beans. The only
objection to this sailing process is the
bles when desired for use.
BEEF PoT-RoAsT.
[ nave another mode of making though
and common pieces of beef, tender and
good. They may be of any size desired,
but piece of four or five pounds is my
preference. It should have some fat, and
be pretty free from bone. Wipe it dry,
and rub it well with salt and pepper, as
for roasting. Cook in a fat bottomed
kettle without water; let It brown slowly
for 30 minutes or more, with frequent
turnings to avoid scorching. When
brown on all sides, add water enough to
come up around, but not over it, cover
closely and let it simmer, not boil fast
three or four hours, or until it is very
tender. A few whole cloves and pepper
corns may improve the flavor of the meat
and more salt may be needed. When
done take it up, thicken the gravy, pour
ing some over the meat, and send the
remainder to the table in tureen. Those
fond of onion flavor may prefer little
cooked with it, though in my family this
is objectionable; but may not generally
be.

Congress and the Grant Relics

The Grand trophies and presents donat-
ed to the government by Mr.. Vanderbilt
and Mrs. Grant are stored in the War De-
partment. They were put there more
than year ago, pending formal accept
ance of them by Congress, when they
were to be placed in the National Museum
here. Congress has as yet taken no &C
ton in the matter. Secretary Endicott
said when asked what disposition would
be made of the presents in case Congress
adjourns without accepting them, that
they will be returned to either Mrs. Grant
or the Vanderbilt heirs if they express a
desire to have them returned. The Secre-
tary regards himself as simply the tenn
porary custodian of the presents, and he
thinks there will be general feeling of
regret if Congress, through negligence,
permits the government to lose this yalu-
able and historical collection.
