Stanford and His Party,

The San Francisco Examiner of Yesterday
says: 1T is not always that we find our
selves in agreement with Senator Stanford.
but we are compelled to admit that some of
his political actions display Independence
and courage of high order. His vote in
favor of ratifying the Chinese treaty imme-
diately after the convention of his party in
his own State had denounced it was an ex-
ample of conscientious adherence to duty
which deserves recognition. Last week the
Sacramento Convention demanded the un-
conditional abrogation of all laws and treat
les permitting Cinnamon to land and the
enactment of such laws as would speedily
rid US of those now here 1t declared the
new treaty to be. mere trifling with great
question and unworthy of the support of
any good citizen. Considering the manner
IN which the Convention extolled the Sen
ator, ascribing to him all the virtues. pri
vate and political, he must have been
strongly tempted to acknowledge their COM
pliments by accediug to their views on the
treaty question. But he boldly took the
risk of being considered bad citizen
and triaed with great question by
voting for ratification. Senators Stanford
and Stewart nave shown in this case. as in
that of the confirmation of Lamar, that
they are not abect slaves of party. We are
glad to encourage their independence. for
the signs of the times indicate that there
VIII be plenty of demands upon it,"

THE San Francisco Call comments ex-
tendedly upon the fact that public readings
from the novels of Charles Dickens draw
large audiences, when not a handful of
people would gather to hear read the far
more finished and scholarly chapters of
the novels of George Eliot or w. NJ.
Thaekeray. A reason for this is correctly
stated to be that Dickens treated of ordi-
mary commonplace people in ordinary life
and every day action. That is true so far
as 1t goes, but there are still other reasons
Dickens novels are peculiarly adapted to
the roStrum because in every essential
they are dramatic, and this is probably as
strong reason as that they move upon
the plane of the commonplace and treat of
human passions and activities, with phases
of which all men are in some degree
familiar. While Dickens chose his char
acters in the main from the middle and
lower walks, nevertheless the notably
strong element in all dramatic utterapce
IS prominent in them-that of dialosue.
1t Is not enough that characters should
debate, nor that they should discuss
plans and facts, or design plots, but it is
essential to the successful drama and the

dramatic novel that they should as fully
as is possible tell their own stories, and
that their dialogue should naturally dis
close the passions, emotions and ambitions
of their lives, and bear the indeilible
stamp of the traits of character that dis
tinguish the actors in the story. Dickens
possessed the capacity in high degree of
pen sketching his story people, but still
more vas he gifted in the art of making
the characters reveal themselves with per-
feet distinctness and sharpness of outline
anG fullness of detail 1t is because of
these qualities in the writings of Dickens,
that his chapters are so well adapted for
public readings, and because these qualities
enabled him to get so near to the human
heart and human sympathies, and to in
terest men in the story of widely carrying
and strongly contrasted types of charac-
ter, that his novels retain their hold upon
the public favor. In fact, while Dickens
created nocharacters, he possessed remark
able power in dramatically presenting
| types.

THERE was general congratulation
throughout the West when the Anarchist
organ of Chicago, the Alarm, collapsed.
1t is an event over which the decent peo-
pie Of the whole country have reason to
felicitate themselves. Lium, the late edi-
tor and proprietor of the incendiary sheet,
excuses its decease in several ways, but the
one and only true reason is that Anarchy
is abhorred by the American people, and
their disfavor of its printed page was
made so manifest that the sheet could not
receive from the public that countenance
essential to existence. This is matter.
we repeat, for congratulation. 1t proves
the American people to be not only wholly
unwilling to heed the wild doctrines of
European social theorists and Anarchistic
agitaters, but that no considerable portion
of them have been deceived by the
charges of the ene.-Iies of free govern
ment against the American system. There
has been not only no shaking of faith in
the scheme of our Government, but the
assault made upon one of its outworks by
the Chicago crew of dynamite assassins
has absolutely exalted the Government in
the esteem of men. Its ordinary criminal
laws having proved equal to the offenses
of the Anarchists, the inherent strength
and cohesive power of the Government
has been demonstrated anew. The death
of the Alarm furnishes a text for profitable
reflection upon the rejection of Anarchism
In the American Republic.

The most recent advices from France,
through correspondents, is to the effect
that Boulanger's popularity is rapidly
waning. The people are beginning to
realize how shallow a politician he is,
however good military disciplinarian he
may be. The Orleanists, who at first fos-
tered the Boulanger agitation in order to
cultivate distrust of the republic, now
withdraw their countenance because the
medal-plated General was active in the
expulsion of the Princes in 1886 and 1887.
1t is fattering to note that the views of al
most the entire American press have re-
Elected this outcome of the Boulanger
boom. The American press, with scarcely
an exception, has estimated the General at
his true worth and predicted the eventual
decline of his political popularity.

American MerinO Sheep.

In the face of all discouragements
which come from fluctuations in the
wool market, and the unfavorable COM
petition of Australian and South Amer
lean wool, there is still strong inter-
est in American Merinos. No other
sheep can supply its place in the pro-
duction of fine wool or in adaptation
to the large ranges west of the Miss
issippi. The flocks of Vermont,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin and
others of the older states are bred with
great purity, and supply breeding stock
for the more western regions where
they are kept mainly for the wool.
Many farmers in the Eastern and Mid
die States find profit in crossing their
Merino ewes with rams of English NUT
ton breeds, to produce lambs for the
market. But the male progeny of
such crosses should never be used for
breeding purposes, or the result will be
mongrels destitute of the best qualities
of either breed. The type should be
maintained pure, wrinkles and all.
The clamor against wrinkles is I'M
needed by good breeders, as it deserves
to be. Recent heavy sales of Merinos
in Vermont for Australia were selected
from wrinkly, densely wooded sheep

A Desirable Change---Crab Apples.

What has caused such deep silence
to fall on the sisters of the VermOnter
who were so cordially invited to con-
tinue their chatter in the Household
Department of the WATCHMAN? Are
they all waiting to feel more at home
in the new paper, or still mourning
that they see no more the " friendly
face " of our cherished Vermonter l
laid away the last issue of the Vermonter
with much the same feeling that
would say goodbye" TO a valued
friend for the last time, and / can not
think of it even now without a pang of
regret; but that is saying nothing
against the WATCHMAN for / like it
very much, and we sometimes find new
friends which prove just as good and
valued as the old ones, especially when
they possess the same good traits of
character, and have the power for
greater and more extensive usefulness.
My principal errand just now is to
extend cordial greeting to my western
sister, " Esther" All of my childhood
days and some years besides were spent
in Illinois; but | would not give one
view of the Vermont hills clad in their
beautiful foliage for days of sight-see-
ing among the Illinois fields of golden
grain and waving corn, and the monot-
onous rolling prairie, where the sun
rises out of the ground to greet you
and Just drops down into it again to
say goodnight. | also wish to talk
about sweet crabs. l prepare mine
much the same as for ordinary sweet
pickle, only using less sugar. To three
quarts of good vinegar add one pound
of sugar; let it come to boil and skim
if necessary, then add as many crabs

blows and leaving the stems on) as
will cook without much crowding;
let them boil slowly until contact
with cooler air will make them
wrinkle, as can readily be seen
by holding one up by the stem for a
few moments. (This is test that they
are done to the core). Then skim
them out into an earthen jar, add more
crabs to the syrup and so repeat the
process until the syrup is too sweet or
of right quantity to turn over the crabs
in the jar. If the jar could be kept on

full, it would save any trouble OF

of the syrup and then turning all ovel

the spice bag under the crabs near the
top, so the strength of the spice will
penetrate all the contents of the jar.

Lend a Hand.

Where are all the Household sisters
who took hold so bravely to fill this
their column? 1t is a busy season l
know, and she who writes for neither
money nor fame must do so for love of
it; but surely paper with so wide a
circulation as the WATCHMAN must
have many readers who could "lend a
hand" Why do not more southern or
western readers give us a glimpse of
their home life or their surroundings,
their schools or their churches, or else
the way they cook, which is more to
the point? l do not think New Eng
land women in general are good meat
cooks. In the first place, too many
have not much experience except with
salt meat or poultry. Country butch
ers do not as rule supply the best of
meats, and one must make the best of
such as can be had. When it is neither
beef nor veal, it is often difficult to OBJ
tain good results from any process of
cooking. A writer in DemOreStS Mdgd-
zine says such meat should not be
baked, but after being scared on the
outside, should be steamed till tender.
