MACARONl FACTORIES.

A Staple Article Of Food Which Has Be-
come Very Popular in America.
Macaroni has of late years come into
very general use in this country. It
was formerly almost exclusively man
ufactured and used by the Italians,
and doubtless it is of Italian origin.
To-day Chicago is one of the great
manufacturing and disbursing points
for this popular article Of food, al
though the industry is solely in Italian
hands and under italian control.
Fifteen years ago nine pounds out Of
every ten used in the United States
were imported, but now the ratio is
reversed. To great extent the mod
ern roller process of milling is respon-
sible for this change. coupled with the
fact that an Italian-American knows q
profitable investment when he sees it.
The process of manufacture is sim
pie and can not avoid being clearly.
The best Of flour is simply kneaded
into dough, water only being used.
After this has passed through the mix
ing machine. an ingenious device. it is
kneaded by the use of heavy pol
ished iron roller, weighing two tons,
and is then pressed in cylindrical iron
presses through perforated mold
placed in the bottom of the cylinder.
This is macaroni proper.
Then. according to the needs OF the
trade, the dough is cut into more COM
plicated and fantastic figures. the
shapes being as ingenious as the in
ventive faculty of man. ALI the time
it is but plain macaroni, and yet it is
formed into stars, letters of the alpha
bet, sea shells. corrugated forms. rib
bons and the silk-like thread called
ver,nicelli and filleni.
One popularity Of this staple pro-
duct is that it is almost proof against
climatic changes and influences. In
one Of the caches constructed by Sir
John Franklin's party a box was found
intact and untainted forty years after.
and at the time Of the Greedy rescue
the first food served the survivors
was macaroni soup.

BELLS IN HISTORY.
Some That Proclaimed Death and Other

Some That Proclaimed Death and Other
That Spread Good Tidings.
Bells have large place in history, al
most larger than any other object that
could be mentioned, unless we must
except some Of the implements Of de-
struction. Their great antiquity is
beyond question. An explorer among
the ruins of Nineveh, or some other of
those vanished Oriental cities, claims
the discovery of a bronze bell. and the
citizens of Rome came together in
their public places at the signal OF
bells. But the Roman bells were
elongated pieces of forging, about as
musical, it is to be presumed, as a
modern cow-bell. 1t was not until
medieval and modern times that the
bell-ringer became a man of very dis
tinguished duties. Who has not heard
of the Sicilian vesper bells, rung in
the year 1882 as signal for the death
of 5000 Frenchmen, slaughtered 80
that Sicily might be free? Who has
not heard again, and shuddered as he
listened, of the bells Of st. Bartholo-
NEW, the signal, it is said, for the
death of 100000 persons? And the
eight o'clock curfew bell that rang
through all England at the bidding of
William the Conqueror, as warning
to his newly-made slaves to ''douse
the glim;" has it not echoed in faint
and still fainter tones through all the
pages of English history down to date?
But it has not been the fate Of all bells
to be made to give the signal for
slaughter or oppression. The Phila-
delphians have their fOndly cherished
Liberty bell. 1t is held in such es-
TEEN that it was borne half over the
continent few years ago under the
escort OF a guard of honor to protect 1t
from all injury. 1t proclaimed once
from it's brazen lips the birth of new
nation, and hence il it be not made to
endure as long as the nation itself It
will be because metal Is more perish>
able than the work of the revolution,

Stand by Your Colors.

During the impending campaign
democrats should stand shoulder to
shoulder The utmost vigilance
and united efforts will be required to
win. The Conway Log Cabin very
forcibly reminds the party OF its du-
ty IN the following:
1t is more important this year
than it has been for the last three
years that every democrat stay with
the party. This is the year for elect
ing all officers from President down
to township constable. Our con
gressmen should be men who are
sound in their views on the tariff and
other matters that are of vital import
ance to the people of the entire coun-
try. 1t is not so bad ii persons go
of with side Issues in an off year, but
at this time we can not afford it.
Arkansas has been democratic by a
large majority for many years.
Faulkner county has been solid, but
it Is well to watch the enemy. This
is not a time for any foolishness, but
time when those who would like to
see liberty perpetua.ed and our state
go on its course of rapid progress
stand firm TO sound business princi
plies. There are but two parties in
this government to-day that amount
to anything and we must choose be
tween the two. We must serve one
or the other. There is no lodging
the question. Every vote cast for a
third party by democrat is vote
against the democratic party, and
gives strength to the republicans
Let there be DO "wabbling on the
gudgeon, but let every man in this
proud old common wealth, who be-
lieves that democracy is better than
republicanism come out squarely and
vote that way.

The Presidents message required
it. 1t has been made as conserva-
tive as the necessity of the case
would allow. It proposes to reduce
the revenue, and to relieve the peo-
pie of unnecessary taxation. The
Randall bill in contrast proposes to
reduce the revenue and increase tax

not want. The people need reduc

measure now before congress, pre-
sented BY the democrats, viii treat

will do well to begin with, and as the
country is educated up to 1t other
reduction can be made. 1t is claimed
by those accustomed to looking after
such things, and observing the ten
dency of public affairs, that the bill
is gaming strength every day. As

Halt and consider,

The attitude of the Union Labor
Party in the campaign this year has
been 8 matter of some considerable
doubt for sometime, but the follow.
lug from the Searcy Beacon, we take
it, is about the programme mapped
out by the parties named to defeat
the democracy this year. 1t will
bear reading and studying:
The programme of the Union La
Dor Party in Arkansas is shrewd
one. The real object of the leaders
is so well disguised. that many are
being ushered pell NELL into real
third party movement unawares,
while others are being led into it
by the nose without hardly an effort
at resistance. II will be remember
ed, that some months ago, it was
claimed that, by action of the Ma
tional Wheel, politics had been set
down upon IN the Order, that in fu-
ture no political action was to be
taken By State or Subordinate
Wheels as such. Ofcourse this was
controverted by many, who claimed
that the political feature was one of
the foundation stones Of the Order,
and the only way of redressing Ger
tain claimed grievances. Later, the
Executive Committee Of the State
Wheel met, and to the surprise Of
many OF the order as well as outsid-
ers. declared that the State Wheel
would not put ticket in the field
thereby confirming the claim made
that the order was non political. And
to our surprise, CarlLee, OF the I'm
ion Labor Journal, also a member Of
said executive Committee, not only
acquiesced in that declaration, but
reiterated it in the Journal, and pos
itiyely denied being in favor Of poll
tics in the Wheel. We thought then
there was u bug under the chip, al
though we could not just tell the
kind of bug it was. Now it begins
to appear 10 a thoughtful observer.
r. Fl. Morehead, who is Secretary Of
the State Wheel, has, as chairman Of
the State Union Labor Party, called
a cony entlon of the Union Labor
Party to be held in Little Rock
on the 30th of April, to nominate a
state ticket, and TO select delegates
to the National u, L. p convention
to be held on May 10Th. He also
recommends that conventions be held
10 each county on the goth of April
to select delegates to said State Con
vention. He invites "all persons who
endorse the demands of the National
and State Wheels, the demands Of
the National Farmers Alliance"
etc, to take part. And we have
been told that this call is sent out
with the endorsement OF the author
tiles Tor some Of them Of the Wheel,
and it is hereby made to appear that
it is Wheel movement. When in
fact it is a scheme OF the U. L. p. to
have the Wheel turned over WHOLE
SALE into the ranks Of the aforesaid
u. l.. p. While many of the White
county Wheelers have acted IN pol
itical way in their own county affairs
we believe many Of them are too
good Democrats to be led off in this
manner into the u. L. p, which has
but one attainable end, that Of diyid-
