FURMrTY. - The following is the
SomersetshiTe method of making fur.
nifty; Bruise two quarts OF wheat, and
put it into u stone jar with two quarts
OF water, and bake slowly until quite
soft. Take two quarts of new milk,
stir the wheat into this till II isaS thick
rs custard, add four ounces of well
washed and dried currants, and simmer
| all together till the latter are cooked.
Beat the yolks Of three eggs, with a
little nutmeg and three tablespoonfuls
of milk, add this while the furmity is
furmity is over the fire, stir well,
sweeten to taste. and serve cold. The
following is an old Somersetshire reci-
pc: To a quart Of ready boiled wheat
put by degrees two quarts OF new mix,
breaking the Jelly, and then four
ounces of c%urrants, picked clean and
washed stir them. and boil till they are
done. Beat the yolks of three eggs,
and a little nutmeg, with two or three
spoonfulg of milk, add IT, this the
wheat, stir them together over the fire,
sweeten. and sci We cold in a deep dish.
1t can be eaten warm il preferred.
POULTRY LIyERs (TO UsEl.-Take
equal quantities of the livers and fat
boiled bacon, and pound it well in a
mortar. with pepper, salt and some
finely chopped parsley. Chop some
onions into rough dice, blanch them
and fry them, then add some lean ham
similarly chopped, and mix both with
the pounded liver, etc. Mix in the
yolks OF one or two eggs, (these depend
entirely on the quantity of lIver), and
just at the last mix in lightly the
whites beaten stiff, pour it all into
small buttered molds, and steam. Turn
out and serve with some well. favored
and thickened brown gravy. 1t Is i'm
possible to give either the exact time
or quantities, as 1t must depend on the
livers. Poultry livers are also excel
lent deviled, either wet or dry, or made
into kabobs; that IS, sliced and put on
tiny spits with thin slices of bacon be-
tween, literally busted with pepper
and salt, broiled, and either served dry
or with good brown sauce, or else take
some OF the mixture given in the first
recipe, roll small portions II very
thinly sliced fat boiled bacon, dip this
in batter, fry a golden brown, drain
and serve dry, garnishel with fried
parsley. or spread the mixture on pieces
of hot toast tbuttered or not, as you
please). brush it over with well beaten
yolk of eggs, dredge with bread crumbs
and bake.

The Republican Platform.

The mountain has labored and brought
forth a mouse. The Republican platform
adopted by the convention is about
as chSetic as the party itself. 1t is
eminently campaign document. All the
old stereotyped and oft-exploded assertions
and charges are reiterated.
The campaign drum Is beaten with re-
sounding blows, and, as in the actual drum,
wind is the foundation of the noise Let
the wind out of either drum or platform
and either would be but poor, collapsed
affair, indeed For the time being, the
various provisions of this platform, fear
fully and wonderfully made, may be passed
over in order that attention may be given
to one portion in which the Northwest feels
especial interest-the tariff plank. 1t is here
that the sOphistry, the faulty and blind obe-
dience TO monopolistic dictation shine forth
most conspicuously.
Let US, says the St Paul Globe, put the
result of the Republican deliberations in
the most compact form possible. 1t is that
the high tariff must be maintained intact,
and that if relief is needed it must come
from the abolition of taxes on whisky and
tobacco. This is the entire question in a
nutshell. Clothe the declaration in what
ever language you will, that is the unalter-
able sum and substance of it. Taxed
blankets, taxed tea, coffee, sugar and ali
necessaries, but free whisky and tobacco.
Blaineism pure and simple Almost the ex-
act words contained in the Paris letter of
the Maine statesman. What need of his
presence when he can so surely rule his
party though nearly 4 900 miles awayl
The issue Is indeed clearly defined. The
Democrats will gladly meet it. 1t is the
cause of the monopolists, the creatures and
creation of the high tariff system against
the people who are being robbed. 1t is an
issue, too, which the Democrats will not
take up arms against unsupported. West
ern Republicans who have asked for bread
and have been given a stone, who have de-
manded a reduction upon the necessaries of
life and have been offered free tobacco and
whisky, will join them in the fight
No cavil or quibble can now be possible
1t is right against monopolistic might. Is
there any doubt that the people will rally
themselves under Democratic standards in
battling for the former?

Mr. Blaine once stopped writing letters
long enough to write book, and in this
book he said of Allen G. Thurman:
His rank in the Senate was established
from the day he took his seat, and was
never lowered during the period of his serv-
ices. He was an admirably disciplined de-
batter, was fair in his method of statement,
logical in his argument, honest in his con-
clusions. He had no trick in discussion. no
catch phrases to secure attention. but was
always direct and manly His mind was
not preoccupied and engrossed in political
contests or with affairs of State He had
natural and cultivated tastes outside of
those fields. He was a discriminating
reader, and he enjoyed not only serious
books, but inclined also to the lighter in
dulgence OF romance and poetry.
He was especially fond of the best French
writer's He loved Moliere and Rasine, and
could quote with rare enjoyment the humor-
Gus scenes depicted by Balzac He took
pleasure in the drama and was devoted to
music. In Washington he could usually be
found in the best seat in the theater, when
good play was to be presented or an opera
was to be given. These tastes illustrate
the genial side of his nature, and were q
fitting compliment to the stronger and
sterner elements of the man. His retire
ment from the Senate was serious loss to
his party-a loss, indeed, TO the body. He
left behind him the respect of all with whom
he had been associated during his twelve
years OF honorable service ',-Indlandpo

No End nfP

why have we so many political parties.
and why Is it that every one with a 0riev,
ance attempts to build up a party for its
redress. Manifestly because most of the
evils under which the people suffer have
their inception in political legislation. Par
tisan tariff laws breed monopolies and
trusts, and the laboring classes suffer: par-
ty Legislation to retain the saloon voto
creates Prohibtionlsts; taxation without the
right tovote creates woman suffrage: lepis-
iatlon favorable to Wall street and the
money power begets Greenbackers: nullify-
ing civil rights of the colored man excites
sectional prejudice; laws to strand the
Treasury and win soldiers votes arouse
antagonisms, and so on 10 the end of public
and private wrongs.
Politics are not based on great questions
OF right, and so isms without name and
number become prominent in party plat
forms. Strip party enunciations of verblage
and trlckery; let them staud for what they
really represent, and the independent
voter would cease 70 be a thorn in the side
OF either great party. But so long as
machine politicians are nominated on anti
machine platforms, .rum-sellers on tenn
perancc tickets, and high tariff candidates
on low tariff declarations, so long will the
independent voter play havoc with the
Destlaid schemes of politicians without ac-
complishing much good for themselves

The screech of the Buzzard,

The Republican platform starts out with a
falsehood No party of hate, says the Louis
vile Courier Joarnal, can truly honor the
memory of him whose public life was an
exemplification of the spirit of his own deo-
laration of "charity for all and malace
toward none" The four great founders of
the Republican party-Sumner. Greeley
Seward, Chase-left 1t before their DEATH
and if Lincoln were living it may be doubted
whether he, too, would not be driven off by
its excesses.
They, who make the day and night both
riotous and fantastic at Chicago, repre-
sented chiefly the wolfishness of contempo-
raneous politics. Like the Angel of Dark
ness, from whom they take their cue, they
are ready TO promise the earth to anybody
that will follow them into their proposed
crusade into the pockets Of honest people,
who work for living, relying on God and
their own stout hands and hearts, and who
want OF the Government nothing except
that it shall mind it's business and take
care of the taxes, limiting itself 10 the COM
mon safety and Defense and not setting ed
for quack doctor and wet nurse on
every provocation and at every invitation
from Cheap John statesmen and needy pro-
fessional patriots.
There is, indeed nothing indecisiye about
the platform 1t is the very desperation of
impudence. 1t is the brazen effrontery Of
the most irresponsible mendacity. It's au-
thors evidently think that the country is a
political game preserve, and having con-
verted the once grand old party into bird
of prey, they flap its wings and prepare to
swoop down upon the field below in all the
glory of plumage stolen from the National
eagle, little dreaming how, when they get
there, the disguise shall be stripped from
their mock eagle and the cheat exposed;
and how, in place of the proud bird of hber-
ty, there shall stand in stark and shivering
nakedness the bald turkey-buzz of fraud
and greed, scorned of gods and detested of

NOT A WALK-OvER.

The Coming Contest to He Long and Bit-
ter-The Republicans VIII Make N Des-
pcrate Fight for Reinstatement to Power
President Cleveland represents the domi-
nant Democratic idea upon which the cleo
tion is to be contested: Tariff Reform and
Tariff Reduction. 1t is natural that the
foremost champion of this idea should be
made the standard bearer of his party. Mr..
Cleveland's personality is sunk in the prin-
ciple that he represents. For persons, in
this campaign, we care little. For princi-
pies we care much. In the political con-
Germs OF great Government personal con-
siderations, says the New York World,
should be secondary and principles primary
The line is drawn in the Presidential eec-
ton upon vital question of public policy,
involving the right of the Government TO
tax the people $1a0, ,0OO, 900 year In excess
Of its needs in order that the protectedn
beneficlaries of war taxes may continue to
enjoy the bounties that have made them
rich.
The nominee of the Republican party
will represent the opposite of the Dem
ocratic policy, and should, therefore. be de-
feated. 1t is not only conflict of parties
but of ideas. If President Cleveland had
made ten times the number of mistakes
that he has ommitted-mstakes that we
have not hesitated to point out in the past
and shall not fail to criticise in the future
should they be repeated-he would still be
entitled TO support, not merely because he
is the Democratic candidate, but even
more because he has espoused great prip-
ciple involving the highest welfare of tho
people and the just conduct of the Govern
ment.
The policy upon which she people want
their Government TO be conducted is OF
vastly more Importance than the person
selected to conduct it. President Cleveland
represents the true position upon the burn
ing question of the hour, and the idea for
which he stands ought to triumph in him,
But the campaign thus inaugurated will
be long, earnest and closely contested.
There need be no mistake about this. The
great protected industries will fight hard
for what they regard as a first blow at their
prerogatives. The Republicans are skilled
and determined campaigners.
1t is not to be a walk over

Along the Line.

The Republican managers, says the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, will not be permitted to
put all their campaigners into New York
State this fail. They will have serious bust
ness demanding their attention elsewhere
Their utmost attempt will be to keep Illinois
from slipping into the Democratic column,
and 1t is doubtful even that can do it. They
themselves look upon the situation in Michi-
gan as fairly desperate, and their best talent
will be called upon for fierce struggle
there. Minnesota, strange as it may seem,
has grown so restive under Republican rule
that no little anxiety is felt with regard to
her. Oregon, Colorado, Nevada and Cali
fornia are all doubtful quantity, and each of
them will witness a spirited and aggres-
sive contest on the part of the Democrats
and stubborn defense on the part of the
Republicans Indiana, New Jersey and
Connecticut we claim as our property, and
propose to keep them In short, fighting
for the first time in twenty-eight years from
the yantage-ground of possession, the party
can afford TO take the offensive; and that it
proposes to do. Its guns will open in sharp
earnest all along the line; and, unless ali
present signs fail, the victories of the final
combat OF the second Tuesday in November
viii show no loss Of any State that we car
rIed in 1884, and the gain of many that we

How IT Works

Our tariff law puts duty of one cent a
pound on tin-plate, very little of which we
make in this country, and large quantities
of which we import from England. Why
there should be any duty at all on tin-plate
1t is impossible to explain, except on the
ground of protecting few persons who de-
sire to be manufacturers of the article in
Pittsburgh. There are 100000 timers in
the country who buy tin-plate and work it
into hundreds of forms-and the duty on it
is tax on this vast industry. And Mr.
Shaw, of MARYLAND, shows how it is a tax
also on another important American inter
est-the canning industry In Mr.. Shaw's
district (the Second Maryland) there were
used in the year 1882, 3S,4O0,OOO tin cans
for packing fruit, vegetables, oysters and
other goods of universal use; and in the
300 establishments where these goods were
packed there were employed 5000 persons
1t took 10000 acres of tomatoes and 5000
acres of corn to supply the establishments
in one county alone-involving an outlay
for agriculture labor of $2000O0 The can
ming establishments used 10000 boxes of
tin-plate, and paid out 81 OBS, 600 in wages
and other expenses. The tariff of / cent a
pound on tin-plate increased the cost of the
100, 900 boxes of the article used in one Mary
land county Sl71 600. These plain figures
prove, as Mr.. Shaw remarked, how lone
protected industry bites and sucks another,
and all bleed and exhaust the people,"
And yet, says the st. Louis Republic,
four or five small manufacturers in Pitts
burgh have the impudence to ask Congress
to double the duty on tin-plate, and make it
two cents pound, to enable them to embark
in the business. We consume about 700 OOO.-
600 pounds of tin-plate year in the country,
and an additional duty of one cent a pound
on 1t would cost the people 100000 The
proposition Of the Pittsburghers, stripped of
its toggery, therefore, is that the people of
the United States shall be made to paw them
s., 100000 year, for an indefinite time, to
set them up in the tin-plate business, and
enable them to carry it on at a big profit.
