another of Gods dear children. Fifty-four
years ago she united with the Presbyterian
church of fredericksburg Mrs. Wallace was
truly remarkable woman Left a widow at
the early age Of thirty four with nine small
children, she at once with cheerful resolution
addressed herself to the charge which God had
gwen her. Her own griefs and burdens were
never allowed to cast their shadows upon her
little flock. naturally sunny disposition was
so cheered and sweetened by divine grace that
her home was always in sunshine The same
cheerful faith raised her above the acute physi

hlled. Even IN her last hours, there was the
delicate play OF humor, the same thoughtful care
Tor the comfort Of others, the same unComplain
ing patience IN suffering which had marked her
whole llfe Warmly attached to her friends
and warmly attaching them to her, she will be
deeply missed by large circle Of friends, while
IN her own home a light has gone out which
can never be rekindled, but the tender memory
OF saintly and sainted mother will abide as
the enduring and precious heritage of her sor.
rowing children. As the sun was lighting up
the world with his morning glores, her ran.
somed spirit caught it's first glimpse Of the eter.
nal day, and az quietly as a child upon it's
mothers bosom, she breathed out her gentle
spirit to God who gave it. Precious in the

Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1886-01-22

A futile attempt was made IN
Washington on Saturday to secure
a meeting of the California dele
CATION in Congress to discuss
matters of legislative interest to
the Pacific Coast. Senator Stan
ford issued invitations to all the
members of the delegation to meet
at his house at 2 o'clock, but Mr..
Henley was not there, and, owing
to his absence, nothing was done,
and the Republican members pass
ed an hour in desultory converse
ton, most of the time being devot-
ed to talk on the silver question,
being agreed in opposition to the
suspension of silver coinage
Henley's absence gave rise to
some comment. It was supposed
that Morrow's Chinese bill would
come up for discussion, with view
of making some alterations in its
form, Henley told a correspon-
dent that he should oppose any
change in the bill. He thinks 1t
will pass the House in substantially
its present shape, and if it IS de-
feated ultimately he wishes the
responsibility placed with the Sen
ate. 1t is understood that another
meeting Will be held soon, when
it is hoped that the entire dele
CATION will be present, and then
steps will be taken for securing
united action in affairs relating to
the State.

NOT A GOOD REASON.

The White Pine News, a Demo-
cratic paper, wants Jewett Adams
fred. 1t says 'he has had fat
thing long enough"
This is by no means good rea-
son for displacing public servant.
If Governor Adams has served the
people we'll in so important an Of
flee as the Governorship, there
would he no reason for asking him
to step down and out, no matter how
long he had been in service.
Public servants of notable ex-
cellence are so rare, that a good
one is we'll worth the keeping. In
our opinion there is better reason
than the one advanced by the
White Pine News for displacing
Adams with better man. During
his long term of Office he has rem
dered the people what very nearly
amounts to no service whatever.
He has held office for the absolute
satisfying of his mania to be in po-
sition, and during his long career
as politician he has never once
inquired of himself or friends
whether or not he had any qualif-
cations for the place.
To him, office is meat and drink,
and were be deprived of it, we be-
lieve the shock to his system would
kill him. This craze has seated
itself so deeply in his mind that he
believes the State owes him con-
tinuous Office of some kind, and his
ambition is so great and his pride
so small, that if he could not be
Governor he would rather be a
Constable of Empire township than
be absolutely deprived of a title.
During his career he has origin
ated no scheme whatever for the
advancement of the interests or the
prosperity of the State. His mind
has never risen above the petty
cabals and pot-house intrigues
which are supposed to further his
interests. He has deceived his
nearest friends when it was to his
advantage, and he has even been
charged with blocking the wheels
of State Legislation in his own po-
litical interests.
At the last session, articles OF
impeachment were drawn up, and
but for the fact it was late in the
session when the action OF the
Governor made this move neces-
sary. he would have been i'm
peached, and in all probability re.
moved.
He is in all things a narrow
guaged mau, inordinately selfish
and grasplng, and all his aims and
ambitions are for self. In politics
the wonder is that he has any fol-
lowing, for he has thrown ever
board those who have assisted him,
and on election day traded off time
and time again better men on the
ticket than himself.
The time has passed when Dem
ocratic ticket with Adams on it is
put up to win. Adams is the man
to be elected, and the rest are
merely dummies, whose only mis-
sion is to 20 on the ticket and pay
assessments, that the money thus
contributed may be used to assist
Adams to another lease of office.
We believe that he will be nomi-
mated at the State Convention
next Fall, and the same men will
be hoodwinked into supporting
him as before. The explanations
Of his treachery are always received
with perfectly innocent credulity
by his dupes. This vote will be
very apt to elect him.

A woman in the vicinity Of Sac

It is said that the Netherlands
intend to impose a duty on petro-
leum and ship timber, both of
which have heretofore been on the
free list. This is a blow which
the United States can very easily
survive. Our eagerness to find
foreign markets for our petroleum,
and our anxiety lest Russian COM
petition should deprive US of pos
sible customers, will be regarded, in
few years, as incredible folly
We are deliberately trying to get
rid of one of the most valuable OF
our resources; Of substance whose
supply is strictly limited, and
which once exhausted, can never
be replaced. When we export gold
we know that we can buy it back,
but petroleum, once gone is gone
forever. To a lesser degree the
same considerations apply to tim
Der. They may be replaced, in the
course of ages, but that will not be
much comfort to the generation
that finds its old forests destroyed
and its new ones not yet yet plant

Caledonia County Republican
Convention.
Especial Dispatch To the Matchman

Especial Dispatch to the watchman.]
ST. JoHNsBURY, June 22.-The republi-
cans OF Caledonia county met here in mass
convention to-day, nearly one thousand
voters being present. Hon. II. G.. Ide pre-
sided. T. G. Fletcher was chairman of the
committee on resolutions. There was a
warm and protracted debate over the Ed
munds resolutions, and on the question of
pledging the candidates for senators to sup
port Edmunds the candidates were called
on to define their position, but they did not
respond. The senators were finally nom
mated by nearly unanimous vote on an
unpledged platform. The resolutions sim
ply reafiirm the principles embodied in the
platform of the state convention. There is
no mention of Edmunds' name in the reso-
lutions, and the preferences of the senators
are unknown to the convention.
A resolution asking that such members of
the Vermont delegation in congress as
would not pledge themselves to support the
nominees Of the republican national con-
vention be requested to resign was dis
missed.
The following is the ticket nominated:
Senators, II. G. Bates of st. Johnsbury, G.
A. Bunker of Peacham states attorney, A.
Dunnett; judge of probate, w. p. Smith
sheriff, l., Sulloway-all of st. Johns

two-thirds to three-quarters of the dele
gates. The senatorial question had
not been made an issue to any great
extent in the election of delegates.
Many anti-Edmunds men voted for Mr.
Ormsbee. The votes for Mr.. Batchel-
der were drawn from both elements,
as also the votes given for Judge
Poland and Judge Veazey. There was
certainly no division on the question
indicated in the vote for lieutenant
governor. Therefore no substantial
basis was afforded for the extrava-
CANT claim of the Rutland Herald and
other pro-Edmunds papers that nine
tenths of the delegates were Edmunds
men. Some of these papers must en-
terrain poor opinion of the intelli-
gence of their readers when they at
tempt to impose upon their credulity
in the manner we have indicated AS
it turned out, the work of the conven-
ton was accomplished with compare
lively little friction, and this promises
well for the usual large republican vote
and majority in September.

THE Morrison tariff bill was defeated
last week, on a motion to take it up for
consideration, by vote of 157 TO 40.
All the republicans but five voted in
the negative, and of the democrats 1873
were for it and 80 against it. The
senate has passed the Northern Pacific
railroad forfeiture bill. The oleomarga-
rine hearing before the senate COM
mittee on agriculture has been closed
The senate has passed the invalid pen
sion bill and the house the Legislative
appropriation bill. The bill to repeal
the civil service law is indefinitely post
poned. The senate passed the Frye
bill to encourage the merchant marine,
the Logan bill to increase the efficiency
of the army and the ingalls, resolution
for constitutional amendment stibsti-
tuting the Both of April for the 4th
of March as the commencement of the
presidential and congressional terms.

Ranchmen Looking for Signs of

Rsnchmen Looking for Signs of the
Hostiles, Fall Into a Deadly Trap.
A dispatch OF the 18th, from
Huachuca, Ariz., says: A courier ar
rived from Fort Huachuca, early to
day, with g. report from Lieut.. Rich
ards, dated Bacuachi, Mex, August
IS, that James H. Kirk and five other
ranchmen, looking for Indian signs,
about twenty-five miles southeast oil
Bacuachi, were ambushed for hostiles
about O'Clock on the afternoon Of
Tuesday, August 10, in Santa Rosa
canon. Two of Kinks party were
killed on the first fire. A desperate
fight followed, in which one more
ranchman was killed and two
wounded, the names of the killed
being James O'Brien, John Thomp-
son and B. Hatcher, while the
wounded are Floyd, Mccain and John
Hogg. A party of forty-six Mexicans
are on the trail, which heads north.
Kirk says he saw eleven bucks and
does not report the killing of any
hostiles. Two couriers arrived at
Fort Huachuca at P. NJ. yesterday,
bringing news that Lieut.. Gatewood
Joined Lawton's command on the 9th
inst. Lawton has not seen or heard
from the hostiles since July 81. Heavy
rains are making it impossible to FOL
low trail over twelve hours old.
When the COuriers arrived LawtOn
was rafting his command over the
Arros River. Gatewood's Indians are
to act as guides. The rains are I'M
usually heavy.

Cheese as Food,

We ought to eat more cheese and
less fat pork. There Is no food that is
more heaithful, and which goes further
to sustain the natural waste of the
system than good cheese. In Europe
1T takes the place of meat on the
tables of the poor, but that fact would
be no recommendation 30 the Ameri-
can. He does not like the idea of eat
ing a thing that is the last resort of
victims OF the degrading government
OF Europe. Let us rather tell him that
cheese is an ever present article upon
the tables of the rich, which it is.
That it is quite the thing for children
OF royalty to feed on cheese. Every
respectable restaurant in London has
upon small table in the center of the
room the half section of large golden
yellow cheddar with knife in it that
says ''come and eat me-" and there is
plate OF crackers to go with it. Ii
we want to introduce cheese-eating in
to this country we must stop talking
about the poor OF Europe and tell how
the rich enjoy it. Make it fashionable
and it will go like hot cakes.-Rural

Importance of Cleanliness.

Keeping the pores of farm animals
open Is as essential to their thrift as
bathing is to our health. The skin
performs an office more essential to
life and health than even digestion,
and it is even more important that
the horse be thoroughly groomed than
that he be fed. Thorough grooming
does not mean only the removal OF
mud and manure from the hair with
the comb; it means that thorough
brushing and rubbing which will clean
the hide, removing all obstruction from
the pores. 1t is more necessary to
groom the horse than any other farm
animal, because he is the last to groom
himself. Cattle will groom themselves
to q certain extent; yet there can be
no more profitable ork than brush
ing and rubbing ther !, though it is so
rarely done. The h g, reputed to be
the dirtiest of all ia m animals, is
really the most cleanly and if allowed
to do so will Keep his b. lie clean. This
he does by first lrttiDc on a coat of
mud. This he scraU.nes off and with
1t removes the impurities which have
adhered to his hide and which the wet
earth has loosened. Wallowing not
only contributes to the comfort of
swine, butts of theutmost Importance
to their health.-American Agricultur-

Kitchen Notes.

SPICED CURRANrs.- pounds of
ripe currants, four pounds of brown
sugar, one pint of vinegar. one table
spoonful each OF cloves and allspice, a
little nutmeg; boil one hour, or until
quite thick.
MARGARET's MELANGE.-Pare and
cut a ripe pineapple into half-inch
bits; pare and slice ripe bananas.
Fill 81 glass dish with alternate LAYERS
OF the fruits, strewing each with sugar.
The acid OF the pineapple gives piq.
uancy to the somewhat flat sweetness
of the banana. The combination is
singularly pleasant. Pass cake with
it.
SMOKED BEEF WITH SAUCE.-Cut the
beef IA thin as possible, and pour boil
ng water over it; let it stand for a
ew minutes, and then drain off the
water. Put the beef in frying pan,
on the back OF the range, and LET it
dry a little; then add piece of butter
and dredge n little flour over it, and
stir until the flour is well-mixed and
smooth; add little cream and serve
hot.
Corn BREAD-Corn bread is more
wholesome than hot rolls for break
fast. Made in this way it is excellent:
Half a pound of Indian meal, half a
pound OF flour, one teaspoonful of salt
and one tablespoonful OF baking pow
der sifted into a bowl. Beat enc
ounce of butter, one ounce Of sugar
and two eggs together, and add the
sifted meal and flour. Add gradually
one pint OF milk for q thin batter and
bake in a hot oven.
MEAD.-Pour two quarts OF boiling
water upon four pounds and q half OF
sugar; add one pint of mo1asses and
four ounces of tartaric acid Boil all
together for q few minutes, and when
cold add one ounce OF essence of sas5a-
fras. Bottle, cork tightly, and keep in
q cold place. Take one-third of a glass
OF the mead; fill the glass nearly full
with water; add quarter of q tea
spoonful of carbonate of soda; stir
and drink while it effervesces.

sports must be engaged in to enliven
