sion of the important question. The
East has taken hold Of it and the West
should certainly be heard from on the
subject.
1t is probably fact that the untu-
tored West is against the dead Ian
guages. A language that has been so
Indifferent to its own welfare as to let
some other language get the drop on it
and furnish theme for the County
Coroner, would certainly have no po-
lltical influence, and could in no way
help to build up the country; there
fore the professor need not be sur
prised if the West is found backing
the living and tolerably healthy Ian
guage as opposed to the dead and
wounded article.

sons should study these defunct
tongues. A language that didn't have
strength enough to pull through, but
crawled off somewhere and died, don't

q physician and otherwise court death,

can't see why our sons should spend
valuable time over invalid languages,

one OF us, send our sons into the hos

NO, let us bring up our sons to shun
all diseased and disabled languages.
Even if it can't be proved that a Ian

. On further thought I am surprised
that the Professor should think there
was any question about this matter
when there are SO many live, able-bod'
led languages loafing around with com.
paratively nothing to do. After Ian.

weeping relatives have contested its
will and proved that it wasn't much

THE KITCHEN.
A Few Hints ON Soup.

Soup should form part of the daily
fare Of every dinner table, and, if care
fully made, will cost nothing. or but q
trifle. The water in which beans, caul-
ifiower, rice, celery, or onions are boiled
should always be kept to make the
foundation of purees and soups. Every
kind of liquid which has extracted the
flavor of vegetable or animal matter ls
too valuable to waste. They may be
thickened and favored for dinner soups.
For example, when beans or rice is
boiled for dinner, brown two ounces of
butter, add two tablespoonful Of -four,
brown again, and add the strained rice
or bean water Zone quartz stir contin-
ually until it boils, season with salt and
pepper, take from the fire and stir in
hastily well-beaten egg. Or suppose
there is cup of mashed potatoes or a
turnip, or very little chicken left over,
rub them through q puree sieve, blend
with milk. or stock, or both, thicken
with butter and -four, and season with
bay leaf, salt, pepper, and little onion
juice. quart and pint will serve SIX
person when the soup is only part of
the dinner.
Meat soups, such as bouillon and con-
somme, are too expensive for ordinary
family use, but all white or cream soups
can appear on the list. Cream of fish,
caulifiower, rice, Turkish, tomato, dried
pea. clam, carrot, lentil, etc., are also
good.
Take the bones left from roasts and
steaks, cover them with cold water, add
an onion, sliced, and bay leaf, and
simmer for one or two hours, strain,
season, and add the beaten yolks Of two
eggs, and you will have an inexpensive
Turkish soup.
All of these soups should be made at
cost of from 5 to IL cents per dinner,
allowing one and half quarts for six
persons, which is an unusually large
portion. Give variety to your seasons.
For instance, if you use onions one day,
use celery the next, making appetizing
novelties. of rather the same founda-
tions.-Mrs. Rorer, IN Table Talk.

ton will be scandalous, for all will re
gard it that the place was bought for
cash, being knocked down to the high
est bidder. General Noble, of st. Louis
is absolutely unknown, He may be an
able man, and develop into pillar of
strength of the administration; but if
he has the ability claimed, it would
seem that the country should have
known something concerning him ere
this. Proctor. of Vermont. is little less
an unknown than Noble. He was once
Governor, but the nation never heard
of him. Miller. it seems. was the law
partner of the President-elect, but be-
fore the Chicago Convention how many
men were there in the country who knew
til It General Harrison had a law part
ner? Rusk, of Indiana. is rich, and he
has a reputation which sometimes
reaches beyond the boundaries of his
State, but he has never been re-.
garded as a strong or forceful man.
Senator Palmer, of Michigan. would
be good-nstured, genial fellow if he
had no money, and his millions can
make him nothing more. He has man
aged to keep himself in the background
during his years in the Senate, his
name rarely appearing in the proceed
ings. Swift, of California, is In the list,
and we have no hesitancy In saying he
is among the weakest of the Pacific
Coast Repu blicans of prominence. He
lacks much of having the endo rsement
of his own party in California. and any
OF a dozen Republicans in the State
who might be named would be
mora acceptable to the Slope.
Clarence n. Seward, the sou of
the late William h. Seward, is said to
DO man of some ability, but taking
him into the Cabinet is experimental.
Ex-Governor FarHas, of Nebraska, who
is mentioned for Secretary of Agricul-
lure, is anything but strong man. He
is politician of soma local standing,
and would like to be boss, but he is
among the last men one would think of
as the head of Cabinet department.
We have gone through the list of
those from which it is said the Cabinet
will be made up, and weakness shows
everywhere, except in the single in
stance, and there the strength is dan
gerous and evil. Such men as Allison,
Gresham, Mitchell, Teller and a score
of others who might be named do not
appear, as if the p esident feared to
surround himself By Drains and states
manship.

NOT RY CONTRACTS.

The City Council will do wisely II II
shall adopt the committees recon-
mendation and construct the main
sewer under its own direction. There
is no COED reason why the city canno
do the work as cheaply as an individual.
The corporation will have to pay no
more for men and it can purchase ma
terial as low as anybody, while 1t VIII
cost the municipality no more for the
services of a competent superintendent
than one could be employed for by IN
diyiduaIs. The matter is too important
to be trified with. 1t goes beyond the
money involved, for faulty or de-
fective savers are worse than
none at all. If We are
going to make an improvement we
want to know that it is an improve
ment, and to feel that the money has
not been thrown away, nor the health
and convenience of the community en-
dangered. If the city shall place the
work in the hands of a capable, trust-
worthy person, everybody will feel that
the money is judiciously expended, and
that the material and workmanship are
what they should be; if the improve
ment shall be done by contract, there
will be fear of sighting, and any failure
will be charged back to the Council
which did not take the necessary pre-
CAUTIONS to see that the work was well
aad properly done.
And suppose that the work does cost
mora than it would if done by contract,
who is going to complain OF the
extra expenditures The taxpayers are
more interested in having safe and
creditable sewers than they are IN
saving a few dollars THE HERALD
favors the selection by the Council of a
first class engineer and competent,
trustworthy superintendent, and tell
ing them to be careful of the cost, but
more careful of the work, give the inn
provement into their hands.

BOARD OF TRADE BUILDING.

Elsewhere in this issue reference is
made to the dissatisfaction with the
choice of the Chamber of Commerce
c ommittee in the selection of building

anybody asked to interest himself in
the mater? If it were the intention to

confined to that street? We don't be
Iieve anybody will claim that the &C
cepted offer was the better in any sense.
Even the COMMITTEES does not make tn g
claim, but justiiss itself by saying that
in its Judgment the 'street will ulti-
mately become the great business CEN
ter of this city," which expression may
mean something or nothing as the fu-
turs shall decide. AS to the present
value of the First and Second South
street tenders, there can be no compare.
son. AS to the prospective values of
the two offers, it will not be denied that
quite as many and as quite as shrewd
observers of the tendency of the town
and the drift of traffic, will give the
preference to the First south street site
as to the Second South location.
The unfairness of the proceeding is
30 manifest that it has been su2geste d
that board of trade be orga 1izsd and
that it accept the First South site and
proceed to erect building. The pro-
ject seems a good one, and We see no
valid reason why it should not be car
ried out. There can be no doubt as to
the ability to get all the meney required
for the structure; already five thousand
dollar subscription. aggregating $40. 900,
have been offered, the scheme not yet
having been preached to a dozen men.
This need not interfere with the erec-
tion of the Chamber building. The
Chamber of Commerce needs building
of its own, and will find no difficulty in
getting subscribers on the plan proposed
when the matter was first talked about
The city will stand two such structures
as it is proposed to tract, and both will
prove profitable to the investors.

CABINET mATERIAL.


General Harrison has as many friends
and admirers in the Democratic ranks
as any prominent Republican who can
be named. He is not regarded as
great man, but he is looked upon as a
clean one, and as possessing more than
the average ability. His department
through the campaign and his conduct
since the election won him admirers
and friends by the hundred among the
Democrats, and the latter are honest
in their wish that he will be successful
as President and give the country a
good administration. But when GHG
reads the list of names from which the
President will CHOOSE his Cabinet, he
cannot but feel apprehensiVe, and to
pity the man who seems bent on. going
to wreck. In the entire list of probable
Cabinet officers there is but one strong
man, and his strength is a kind that is
threatening TO the President. James
G.. Blaine is without question one of the
shrewdest, if not the very ablest politi-
clan ia the Republican party. He is
daring, dashing, calculating, selfish and
unprino pied. With him everything is
for Blaine first. If it we're to the ad-
va1tss of Blaine to crush Harrison, I
divide the party, or involve the nation
in bloody war, he would not
hesitate to do any of these things.
He is SO far, ahead of Harrison
in political skill and cunning that the
President will necessarily be made to

Tho New York World, which dur
ing the recent campaign devoted all
its energies to proving that Ameri-
cans should place their workingmen
at the mercy of foreign competitors,
has with its customary enterprise
sent a first-class correspondent to
China te write up the country. The
correspondent has had an interview
with Lii Hung Chang, tho viceroy,
who made the following ubserva-
tons:
Before half a century has passed,
China will be covered with railways
as with net. L iinnt. mineral
resources will be u yeioIn.t 1t will
have rolling mills a.. races IN
many parts of the a. Il, -. and it is
not impossible that - may do tho
manufacturing for world. 1t
seems to me that the most serious
question which menaees the working
people of your country and Europe
lies here. The Chinese have shown
themselves to be as skillful and as
intelligent as any people IN the
world. They will work hard and
they can live cheaper than your peo-
pie; and when our own country is
open to railways, and it has turned
its attention to supplying the mar
kets of the world. | believe it can
supply them better and cheaper than
you can. This is question which
you will have TO face.
We have seen no editorial com
ment by the World on this passage
in the interview 1t would be inter-
g ting 10 know how the Worlds free
trade editor would face the situation
outlined by L.! Would he advise
that we try TO compete with people |
who bave reduced penpry TO an ex-
act science, and who, according to a |
recent statement by IL missionary
when soliciting aims for faInishing
Chinese, can subsist on one cent al
days As free trader he would be
obliged to advise such a |
course. To protectionists the prob
lem presented by Lii has no terrors.
They will simply recommend the re-
tention of our present system, which
has promoted national property,
even if it has not brought about that
free trade ideal condition of affairs
in which the working man can man
