Ingroceries, no change in prices was
made today. The tone of the market

Pulled Bread

Pulled bread is an edible that ought
to be on every American table. 1t is
designed to be eaten with cheese, and
it is delicious. Take a loaf Of freshly
made bread, and while it is still warm
pull the inside out Of it in pieces the
size Of your hand or smaller. Put
these into the oven and bake them a
delicate brown. When cool they
are crisp and as full Of favor as anut.
Eat pulled bread once with your
cheese and you will want it often.

Lead and the Tariff.

In our article on Tuesday relative to
the effect of a reduction Of the tariff on
lead. we estimated the product Of lead il
outside states and territories from the
silver product from base metals at the
same ratio as the product in this terri
tory. We find We were greatly in error
q to Colorado. The Mine, Stack and
rail Of Denver says that the output OF
lead III Colorado last year aggregated
$4,000 tons. This makes the matter just
twice as bad as we stated it; it shows Col
orado is working thousands of tons Of
ore so low III silver that were the lead
tariff reduced the mines would have to
close; it shows that with the rumored
reduction Of the tariff, s., 100000 would
be added to the revenue, and S10,000,00o
would have to be SEN away for the pur-
chase of foreign lead, and that with the
mines stopped the price within three
yeats would gravitate back to $40 per
ton. where it was when, under the tariff,
the industry was created in the far vest.

man, with round shoulders. His hair is

is of Dutch origin, and shows it in her

The strength of the temperance senti-
ment in the South is shown by the pas
sage of the following resolution at the
recent meeting of the Louisiana State
Agricultural Society: "That the inte-
rests of society, and especially OF the
agricultural classes, require that some
restriction shall be placed upon the sale
of intoxicating liquor, and believingthat
the best form of such restriction is in the
imposition Of high license, therefore We
earnestly recommend the adoption by
the next General Assembly of such legis-
lation as may be necessary"
A Philadelphia man got on street-car
while it was going at full speed. He
held the nickel which was to pay his fare
between his teeth, and unmindful of it
began to berate the driver for not stop
ping the car for him. The result was in
evitably instantaneous, and in small
way sensational. The moment the man
opened his mouth the nickel slipped into
it, and in the first frenzy of his articu-
lated indignation the 5-cent piece fell
into his throat and was swallowed. With
q splitter the fellow sought to recover
the lost coin, but the effort was q vain

fusing to tahe the will for the nickel, the

Germany and Russia,

The principal Russian military Jour
nal at st. Petersburg organ OF the
war party-states that the "only means
of protecting Russia from German and
Austrian invasion is to increase the pow
er of the Russian forts" Ii does not
deny that Russia is preparing for de-
fence, but declares that "Russia does
not covet al inch OF German territory
and will not cede On inch of her own. "
As usual, Russia is playing the role OF
the lamb. Yet the statements we have
quoted are significant They give color
to the impression that in case OF
war resulting in the defeat of Rus
sia, Germany would straighten her
eastern frontier by the ABSORPTION OF II
greater part of Russian Poland Nor Is
that all that has recently transpired
tending to show Germany's desire for such
spoil. A cable dispatch from Berlin
says the Governments of Germany and
Austria have determined to publish the
treaty concluded between these two
powers in 1879, and proceeds to give an
abstract of it. This treaty was made by
BISMARCK and Count ANDBAssY, and it
has been an open secret ever since it was
signed by the Emperor of Germany
that it WAS designed as a defensive
measure against Russian aggression.
1t can hardly be doubted that it
was also designed as a peace measure.
Yet the first article stipulates that in case
of wal between Russia on the one hand
and Germany and Austria on the other
peace shall be concluded only upon such
terms as both the parties to the alliance
agree to accept, and this stipulation is
repeated in the second article, which
binds the allies TO assist each other in
case either is attacked by power other
than Russia and Russia assists the ag-
gressUr. The plain English of this is
that peace would be concluded only upon
such terms as Germany might see fit to
dictate, and that she would be in posi-
ton to make a new map of Russian Po-
land whether Austria liked it or not,
The triple alliance, which added a new
element Of strength to the combination
against Russia. would, it seems, in no.
wise interfere with Germanys ability TO
carry out this eastern frontier pro-
gramme. Aside from the fact that Ger
many would in any event be the domi-
mating Power Of the three signatory par
ties to the alliance, it is stated that in
1887 Italy accepted all the stipulations
Of the original Austro. German treaty.

Which Side ?

The Washington Post of yesterday has
the following:
at will be the idlest ceremony in the
world for Congress to reduce or repeal
the sugar tax and so deprive the Treasury
of part or the whole of some fifty-tive
or sixty million dollars year unless the
price of sugar is reduced to the con-
sumer."
Just so. But how is it that you not
only admit but assert that the duty on
sugar may be entirely abolished, and yet
the price to the consumer be not at all
lessened? If this is true of sugar, may
it not be true as to other articles2
We do not believe in that sort of "pro-
lection" which, its friends claim, re-
duces the cost to the consumer Of the
protected articles. The object of the
protective legislation fails entirely when
the fact is as claimed. No more do
we believe in that sort of low tariff
which raises the wages of the men work
ing in the establishments affected by the
low tariff. Let us be on one side or the
other, Mr.. Post. Which side is yours =?

A BtII 20 Parity Elections.

To tie Editor Of TIC Dispatch:
In view of the large number II con-
tested seats in the present Legislature,
involving much valuable time and great
expense, in consideration OF the
pasters." "the stickers," and tissue
ballots that have found their way into
the ballot-box, | think it is about time
for Legislators TO pause in their dilly-
dallying with private trifles of no mo-
ment and consider question so imme-
diately concerning the general welfare as
an honest and fair expression OF the
Judgment of the people through the
means Of the ballot-box.
A bill has been introduced which is an
attempt at adjusting the election laws Of
Australia to elections in Virginia.
Something similar has been adopted in
Wisconsin, and this bill follows in its
main features bill offered during the
last session of the Michigan Legislature
by the Hon. Judson GTinnell, of
Chicago, and passed the House. but vas
defeated in the Senate by lack Of three
votes.
The plan is simplicity itself and the
most ignorant voter can readily adapt
himself to it. The leading feature of
the measure is that the ballot
must be made a LEGAL instrument"
surrounded by all the safeguards that
the ingenuity Of man can devise. The
ballots must be printed by authority,
voted by authority, and counted by au-
thority. The ballots containing the
names of candidates running for State
offices should be printed by the Secre-
tary of State those for the counties
by the county clerk, and those in
cities, villages, and townships by
their respective clerks, all under
proper restrictions. After having been
printed by authority they should be dis
tributed by authority, which should ac-
count for their numbers and movements
with the accuracy which attaches to a
bank-check. On election-day the voter
goes to the polls, where he is handed a
ticket or tickets by the inspector, he
goes into booth by himself and there
makes a cross (x) mark opposite the
names of those for whom he wishes to
vote. He then folds 1t up and hands it
to the proper person, making his ballot
entirely secret. Should he be unable to
read, the names on the ticket are read to
him in the presence of the inspectors
and he designates those for whom lie
NAV wish to vote.
1t is believed that it will in large
measure prevent bribery and intimida-
ton; the occupation of the "election-
day worker" will be gone; it will re-
duce expenses, and substitute peace and
good order in the place of riot and
trickery. The New York Evening" Post,
the Chicago Times, and the Detroit
Evening News call it "a sign of pro-
gress," ga civilized and fairly-decent
election law. "a bill to insure the sta
bility of our republican form of govern
ment, ga measure that ought to COM
mend itself to every assembly Of the
Legislative wisdom in the republic" ga
bill that provides for the abolition of the
most pernicious and corrupting iDhu-
ences about the polls" and bill that
"cheap demagogues and knavish politi-
clans, who expect TO win in the future
as they have in the past-by bribery and
fraud-will naturally oppose"

Elections.

The Roanoke Times says; "Presi-
Dental elections come too often for the
best interests of the country" That is,
we think, very questionable. 1t is true
that elections break into the routine
of business and not unfrequently
throw the public mind into state of
great excitement. But on the other hand
they have the compensating feature Of
educating the masses. The well-in-
formed Stump-speaker is the school-mas-
ter of the grown folks. This will be
more and more the case when we shall
have gotten rid of the bloodyshirt
shriekers and traders in dead issues,
and our orators feel safe to discuss live
problems and great questions of political
economy.

In the diocese of London anglican

Young Mems Christian Association. It
exists in nearly 800 institutions in the
United States, Canada, Japan, China,
India, Ceylon, Syria, and Turkey. Over
200 Christian students are connected
with these organizations.
Romanism is said to be winning its
way in Sweden and Norway. The Vicar
Apostolic on visiting Christiana was re-
ceived with the greatest distinction and
reverence by the Lutheran officials. In
Norway. where twenty years sgo there
were only 100 Roman Catholics, there
are now 800, with eight churches and
twenty priests.
The Womans Christian Temperance
Union is getting ready for vigorous
campaign throughout this State against
license to sell liquor. Committees have
been appointed to get signatures to re-
monstrances. Circulars have been sent
to clergymen asking them to use their
influence from the pulpit and to preach
sermons against granting license.
