The methods of preparing coffee for
domcst C use, some of which have been
already alluded to, vary in different
places. To get the full aromatic flavor
of the decoction it should be drank inn
mediately after it was made. When
too long boiled the aroma is driven off,
leaving the astringent property only of
the grain in solution, that, interfering
with the functions of the liver, causes
the sallow complexion of some free
csffee-drinkers. In the east many
esteem the grounds for their nutritive
principle, they being rich in legumin, a
vegetable albumen. In Central Africa
the grounds left for an infusion, some
times the freshly ground coffee itself,
is mixed with butter and used as an
article of food. lam just here remind

To extract all the good qualities of
coffee, says Prof. Donovan in The Dub
lin MySio 'ogicat Journal, 1926, the
fresh, finely ground coffee requires two
separate and somewhat oppos tie meth
DDS of treatment. On the one hand
the flavor is lost by boiling. while on
the other it is necessary to subject it to
that degree of heat in order to extract
its medical quality. These difficulties
are overcome by dividing the water to
be used in the making into two equal
parts. With one of these the coffee
must be mixed cold and placed on the
fire until on the eve of boiling, when

Who is Responsible I?

The Richmo nd Wing OF the 18th con
tains the following paragraph
s.The spectacle of the United States
Court for the Western District of Virginia
being forced to adjourn at Abingdon, for
lack of funds. in the Marshal s hands. was
certainly humiliating. Hereafter Judge
Paul should enquire into the state OF the
exchequer before opening Court.
If the Wing had taken the trouble to
make inquiry into the matter to which it
refers. we feel reasonably certain that it
would have remained silent, unless it has
changed it's front and turned its guns upon
this new reform Democratic adminiStra
ton.
A simple statement of facts which
our contemporary ought to have known.
is sufficient to show that Judge Paul had
nothing to do with the case, y and that
the trouble, annoyance, expense and vexa :
tion caused by the want Of funds. is due
to neglect or inefficiency in Congress in
the Department at Washington.
The law fixes the regular terms of the
Courts and the judge is required to open
the Courts at the times fixed. The judge
has nothing to do with ''the exchequer,
and knoWs nothing about its condltio
unless informed through the marshal or
the Department of Justice. A month or
six weeks before the commencement OF
every Court the marshal makes requlsl-
tion on the Department of Justice for the
amount of money necessary to bear the
expenses of the term. This requisition is
approved by the Judge and q. 5. Attorney
and this is the sole connection the Judge
has with 1.-THE exchequer. The money IS
sent to the marshall
The requisition for money to run the
Court at Abingdon was made out by the
marshal, duly approved and forwarded to
Washington six weeks before the term
began. The Department Of Justice failed
to notify the marshal or judge that the
appropriation was exhausted. The re-
sponsibility for all the trouble, lies, there
fore. primarily with Congress for neglect
to pass the necessary appropriation bills,
and directly with the Department for
failure to notify the marshal or judge OF
the deficiency. in time to have given notice
to parties, witnesses, jurors, &c., not to
attend Court.
The judge had no idea but that the
money would have been Forthcoming at
the proper time. having received no noti-
ication to the contrary, and it would have
been gross impertinence upon his part, if
not insulting, to have inquired of the De-
partment whether or not it would have
funds sufficient to conduct its business.
Whether the Wing does or not, the peo-
pie will properly locate the responsibility
for wasting several thousand dollars of
public money, and compelling hundreds of
witnesses, jurors, &C., in order to get back
to their homes, to sell their certificates of
attendance at Abingdon at rs per cent.
discount. This, we understand, was done,
and for it Democratic neglect or stupidity
is alone responsible.

We were informed by gentleman few
days ago. who spoke confidently of the
matter, that enough signatures had been
gotten from the members of the pres
ent Legislature to order an extra SEES
sion Of that body. The pretext for this
reassembling of the Legislature is to re-
ceive the Revised Code. This is a mere
preteXt. The real object, as stated by our
informant, is to repeal the local option
law Whatever the pretended or real OBJ
ject of an extra session may be, to order it
would be the death of the party RESPONSE
bic for it. Nothing could give more EN-
phasis to the desperation of the Demo
cratic party than such a step The people
would rise Ell masse' TO condemn it, and
consign to perpetual privacy every member
whose signature might be attached to
such call.

Recently there was published what pur-
ported to be call from 40 900 workers i'll
wool, in Philadelphia. for the purpose of
demanding of Congress the passage of the
Morrison bill, with it's free wool feature.
This was taken up by the Norfolk Land
mark and a sermon preached for the bene
fit of Mr.. Randall and an appeal made to
him to respect the wishes and opinions of
these 40 900 wool workers, 1t turns out
that the call was q transparent fraud
that not ten per cent. of the workers in
the industries related to wool favor the
Morrison bill, and that he call originated
in barber shop where the nearest thing
to wool used is soap lather. The free traders,
we know, are driven to desperate straights
to manufacture public sentiment, but this
is the most monumental imposition We
have seen.

The statement we publish from Norfolk
relating TO the corrupt methods adopted
by the Democrats to carry that City last
Thursday ought to riyet the attention Of
the honest people of the State upon the
agency through which such crimes are
possible. Norfolk is a Republican city by
from 900 to l 800 majority. But under
the Anderson Mccormick Electoral Bill
it is made possible for partizan judges to
defeat the will of the people and perpet-
uate Il great outrage upon them in the
prostitution of the ballot box to fraudu-
lent ends. It is the duty of all good citi-
zens to frown down such wrongs, and it is
the duty of the press to expose them and
those who devise and give them practical
effect. It is a very dangerous precedent,
and like all wrongs may serve to punish
those who instigate them

Now it looks as if the South might too
become favorable to a protective tariff
once more. Times have changed and with
them the opinions of men. Politics is but
the science of circumstances, and with
the change of conditions the wise man
changes his opinions. We live in day Of
changes. For example, who ever dreamed
that the day would come when America
could import wheat cheaper than it can
be grown even in the great west And
yet such thing is by no means improbable.

temporary is coming to a proper under

fact that the South was for Democracy
and Free Trade under the slavery system
is no reason why 1t should be for the same
party and policy, under different condi-
ton of labor aud different industrial rela
tions and necessities. Bourbon Democ-
racy is in conflict with the progress and
development of the South. and not until
she shall have adopted the ideas and poli-
cies of the Republican party, will we have
the assurance of material advancement
commensurate with the wonderful natural
resources and advantages of the South

There is something very touching In The
floral tributes paid to the memory OF Gen.
Grant on last Monday. From the North
and East and the West and South, from
Confederate and Federal soldiers. flowers,
immortelles and evergreens were strewn
over the tomb of the silent sleeper. The
great heart has long since ceased its throb-
hing the great mind has long since be-
come dead to sense and thought but the
memory of the aims and achievements of
heart and mind is fresh with the fifty mil
lions of people who only learned to fully
appreciate his greatness when the weary
wheels of life had stopped their motion
and the lofty, yet gentle spirit had passed
from the loves and trials of life to higher
existence and to beatifc glory. In the light
of the present how strange it seems that
the past was so full of sectional venom
ana partizan hatred for the grand hero,
whose heart-impulses embraced CONT
nent and whose love for humanity knew
no limits. And what lesson it should
impress upon those who survive and may
be called upon to participate in the actiyi-
ties of government and legislation, and
warn them against the indulgence of en-
FILTERED feeling and unreasOning animosi-
ties. The tender mementOes which bedeck
the tomb at Riverside Park should speak
lesson of forbearance, of charity, of love,
of patriotism, that would reach to every
portion of the reunited country and Vi
brate in every heart, counseling to nation
al determination and the effacement of all
embittered sectional feeling where the
starry emblem of the Republic floats and
its inspiration is felt.

The principle involved i'll the proposed

pie might have safe currency in notes
secured either oy the government faith

indirectly III the issue of National bank
notes which are secured by the deposit OF

The Spirit of the Elections.

Although the election in Staunton last
Thursday for municipal officers, was con-
Quoted in an active and excited spirit,
there was no embittered feeling manifested,
or any attempt to employ other than legit
innate methods, as a general rule, to affect
the result. AS in all previous elections,
the law was strictly complied with and the
officers appointed to execute it, performed
their duty Impartially and to the salts
faction of all parties interested. No just
cause of complaint was given from any
source that we have learned, and at the
eonclusion.of the contest the most kindly
feeling prevailed among the friends of the
several tickets-all patiently awaiting the
tedious process of counting the ballots,
and accepting the result as the expression
of the will of the people, without angry
demonstration, or ugly murmur. OF course.
there was disappointment when the poll
was announced in each ward, but it found
expression only in such manner as was
natural, and with no disposition to harshly
crminate or re-criminate.
This cannot be said of the methods en-
ployed in some of the other cities OF the
State. In Petersburg and Norfolk, ad-
Cormick bill, to serve the interests OF one
party at the expense of the just claims OF
the other. Fraud was openly charged
against the judges in both cities, and the
rocnlt af tho o]ootionc condemned as q
suppression of the honest will and inten-
tion of the people. In both instances the
Courts will be appealed to to remedy the
wrongs said to have been perpetrated, and
bring to justice those who may have been
guilty of any attempt to corrupt and pros
titute the ballot box.
In Richmond the revolt against the ring
which has controlled that city so long, was
SO formidable and determined, that it
would have been unsafe for the profess
sional manipulators to have piled their
vocation as brazenly as they had done in
the past. They were confronted by the
honest and courageous workingmen of the
capital, who had made up their minds to
have fair election. or know the reason why
it was not conceded The result was the
overwhelming and crushing defeat and
humiliation of the self constituted guard
ians of the city, and the proclamation that
there were other interests to subserye
than the selfish ends of chronic office
seekers and office-holders. who have here
tofore managed and controlled the elections
to suit themselves.
There were many good omens manifested
on last Thursday, which evidence that the
days of ring rule in Virginia are numbered,
and that the manhood of the State is here
after to have potential voice in directing
the political and material destiny of the
Commonwealth.
