The American Girl.
New York Herald.

The American girl is phenomenon of
the age She is bound to shine and
bound to win. Even the staid, old fash
toned journalistic stage coach, the Lon
don Times. admits that. In the matrl-
monial market her stock is always at a
premium and a foreign duke or lord or
membes of parliament thinks himself
special lucky if he can get one fora wife.
She is plucky, handsome, independent,
diplomatic and, take her for all in all,
the best natured and most desirable crea-
ture on the face of this earth.

The vote by which the tax refunding
bill passed the house Wednesday was
something of surprise, it being gener-
ally expected that the Democrats would
continue their opposition and defeat it
before the present house. This is one of
the measures proposed by the Republi
cans not only to do an act of long de-
layed Justice, but at the same time dis
pose of part of the treasury surplus.
The real ground of Democratic opposi-
ton TO the bill has been all along the
fact that it is Republican measure. but
since the opponents have learned that it
is only question of time, and a very
short time now. when the bill will become
law in spite of their opposition-that
the first session of the Fifty-first con-
gress would pass it-that ii would be
useless TO further obStruct its passage.
Our guess is that the president Will sign
the bill as soon as it passes the senate
and is sent to him. for the same reasons
that prompted the Democrats in the
house to permit its passage, though it Is
doubtful if he would approve it were the
circumstances that surround his party
different from what they are. The
amount TO be disbursei among the states

Wednesday to enforce if necessary the
decision of the government in the matter
of the seized American vessel at Port-au-

what the government is going to do
about the snub Germany gave it a short
time ago in taking forcible possession of
the Samoan islands? So far as is known
by the public there has not been SO much
as demand made for All explanation.
What the administration will do about it
may be determined and develop TO the
public later. but not until the Haytian
incident is disposed of. One thing at a
time seems to be the present policy in
regard to foreign affairs.

The Democrats of Missouri are sore
over the fact that st. Louis elected three
Republicans to congress-that is, it is
the only great city in the country which
will have an unbroken Republican dele
cation in the next house. They attribute
this result to an intrigue between the
Republican managers and the saloon
men, in accordance with which the lat
ter went over bodily to the support of
the Republican ticket, local, state and
national Now the legislature, being
Democratic. proposes to make the saloon
keepers of st. Louis howl for what it Is
pleased to consider their treachery. 1t
proposes to raise the license for selling
liquor in that city to a practically pro-
hibitory point, and to submit prohibit
tory amendment to the state constitu-
ton which will wipe the saloons out of
existence so thoroughly that it will soon
be forgotten that there ever were such
places. This is the present temper Of
the Democratic members-elect of the
legislature, but some truce or treaty may
be patched up between them and their
former friends and co-laborers by the
time the Legislature. meets and gets to

If congress passes the 81 100000 river
and harbor appropriation bill which the
house committee has reported, it is posi-
BILE that Mr.. Cleveland will veto it. This
congress has already appropriated a larger
sum to river and harbor improvements
than has any of its predecessors Heaven
worth Times.
AS to the sum already appropriated by
the present congress for rivers and har
bors it should be borne in mind that it
was rendered necessary, in measure, by
reason OF the failure of the appropriation
bill passed by the next preceding session
to become law, the president failing to
sign it. In view of these facts and of
the changed condition of affairs for the
near future, politically, the EAGLE is Of
the opinion that any bill appropriating
a reasonable amount for the purpose
named will receive the presidents ap-

AN ENCOURAGING AUGURY.

That there are many evidences OF
general regeneration-itm might be called a
revolution-going on in the south can
not be denied or doubted. The most
notable of these are the declarations of
the leading Democratic paper Of South
Carolina, the Register, published at Col
umbia, the state capital. The Register
for a radical change of the political
methods that have prevailed in that
state; that there must be an end to dis
examinations and every citizen accorded
all his rights and privileges under the
law. This the Register makes condi-
ton precedent to other movements
that are desired to be inaugurated
looking to immigration and the
invitation and inducement of northern
capital to develop the resources of the
fields, forests, mines and water courses
the material interests of the state.
And then the expressions of sentiment,
in line with that that inspired the Regis
ter, that seemed to pervade the southern
interstate immigration convention in
session at Montgomery, Ala, this week,
composed as that body was of leading
men from the several southern states,
encourages the belief that the revolution
is widespread, and the hope that it may
be thorough and complete, bringing the
south as a whole into line and harmony
with the balance Of the country in its
march of progress to- the higher destiny
that awaits it. The prospects for such
speedy consummation, SO devoutly
wished for, cannot fail to be noted with
satisfaction by every patriotic citizen of
the country without regard to locality or
section

Horse Radish Sauce: Take stock
which has been cooked with little
vinegar, salt, butter. sugar and fine
bread crumbs, and mix with it as much
grated horse-radish as will be required;
the sauce should be quite thick; eat

-Cocoanut Tarts: Dissolve half a
pound of sugar in a pint of water; add
a pound OF grated cocoanut and boil.
Let cool; add the well-beaten yelk Of
three eggs and the white of one; beat
all together and pour in tart tins lined
