THE yEnDlCr.

Thore are many expressions OF dis
satisfaction in reference to the YER
dict returned last night by the jury
in the Kendrick case, but we believe
that u calm aud unprejudiced con-
. leration OF tho result Of that YER
oict will convince ii majority OF u
c.tizens that it is tho best disposition
of tho case that could have been
made.
Had q verdict Of murder in tho
first degree been returned the defend
pnt would, under our law, have been
Bontence1 to douth; this would have
bscn followed by an appeal to tho
Supreme Court which would have
accustomed u lengthy delay; that tri-
bunal might have reversed tho de-
c.sion OF tho lower Court and re-
mnnded tho ease for u new trial,
which would have occasioncd still
farther delay and entailed additional
expense on the county.
Under present circumstances there
will most probably DO no appeal, and
o life sentence will, in our Judgment,
be as effectual in restraining others
from tho commission OF crime rs
would tho death penalty; while the
criminal will be placed In n situation
whore he can do 10 further harm and
those who may have. had cause to fear
future annoyance at his hands viii DO
Mt safo as though tho defendant had
been convicted Of murder in tho first
degree and suffered the extreme
penalty Of tho law. ::
In view OF the verdict IN this ease
there will probably be no difficulty
in securing tho signature OF hun
dreds OF our best citizens to apetition
ftr tho Communication of the ~scntonceo Of
josiah and Elizabeth Potts to life
imprisonment, in tho event that tho
Supreme Court afiirms the judgment
OF the lower Court in their case.
In tho case OF Tuscarora Jake, the
Indian whose trialwas continued for
tho term, We believe that We voice
the general sentiment OF tho com
munity in expressing the opinion that
"Oiit Pro''qui should be entered by
the District Attorney, tho defendant
discharged from custody and turned
over to his tribe, and let them dispose
OF the Cast according to their customs
and traditions, thus relieving the
county from any further expense in
the matter. Had Tuscarora Jake
killoi n white man the case would be
quito different.

In a few weeks the one hundredth thou sand of The New People, Cyclopedia will be on the market. This is the twentieth edition. Nineteen editions of 5000 each, making a total of 95, ,OOO sets of the work have been sold and still the demand con- tinueS.
 A statement of the amount of paper used in printing these editions may be instructive. Each edition requires nearly pounds. Thus there have been used 16,OO0 reams and 1 ,440,O pounds of paper. Each sheet of paper makes 32 pages of the book, and each ream has | 800 sheets therefore, 256, ,OOO, ,OO0 pages of the book have been printed. The re- tail price of these 100, ,OOO sets of Cyclo- pedias would average nearly $2,0OO, ,000.
 Among the eminent men who have bought this work are the names of Hon Samuel J. Tilden. Hon Benjamin Har- rison, Henry Ward Beecher, Joseph Cook, Hon $. $. Cox, General w. T. Sherman, General B. F. Butler, Governor Hoadley, and thousands of ministers, teachers and business men in all parts of the world. Orders are being received from all quarters of the globe. Over a thousand sets have been shipped to Australia, and many have gone to India, China, Japan and South Africa. It is the cheapest, as it is the latest Cyclo. pedia in the market, and it is published complete in four large, super royal octave volumes. The book contains over two hundred beautiful colored maps made expressly for the work. The Peo ples Cyclopedia surveys the whole do main of knowledge pertaining to His tory, Biography, Travel, Discovery Theology, Science, Art, Invention | Mechanism Apricultura and Commerce. and is in itself compact, convenient and comprehensive library.
 For any information pertaining to this work the reader is requested to address the publishers, HUNT & EATON, SO5 Broadway, New York.

4 DEMOCR ATTIC RECRUIT.

The result of the recent state election in Rhode Island gives pretty certain evi- dence that at the next presidential cleo .tion the state will be found with its four electoral votes in the democratic column There was nothing unusual, unless it might be the addition of few thousand newly enfranchised voters and the ab- sence of republican poodle, to make the democratic vote so conspicuously larger and give Mir Davis, the democratic nomi- nee for governor, such comparatively immense plurality of the popular vote. It is for this reason chiefly that the dem- ocrats are justified in looking forward to the early redemption of this notoriously "black republican, state.
 Roger Williams state has been regard ed as so irredeemably republican that any attempt of the democrats to carry it very much as would an attempt of the Dutch to take Holland. It was always considered piece of pre- sumption and frlly for the democrats tc cherish any hopes of success, and the man who would dream of putting the state in the democratic column would be regarded as a fit subject for a strait jack ct. But all this is changed. By the growth of a more liberal spirit and the removal of restrictions on the franchise to allow residents of foreign birth to vote the democracy has attained a strength and prestige that places it on even terms with it's adversary. It is req sonable to suppose that the greater por-
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-04-15

tion of those from whom the property disabilities have bt en removed arc dem ocratic in their political preferences and that when they go 10 the polls they will
 vote the democratic ticket. As there
 are probably ten thousand of these their accession will be material element of strength to the democratic party. Again,
 good many who have been republicans are disgusted with the temporizing, shifting and uncertain policy of their
 party in its attitude toward sumptuary legislation. and it is fair to presume that some of these will emphasize their dis
 gust at the first favorable opportunity. In the course of President Harrison and
 his advisers since March 4 there has been
 nothing to rouse the enthusiasm or re- publicans, and it is probably true that
 the state will continue to get the razzle dazzle in the distribution of political
 patronage as it has since the very first success of the republican party. There is little save tradition-and that IS fast
 losing its fOrce-to hold the republicans of Rhode Island in line with party that has little use for them beyond securing their votes. Tradition can hardly be said to be in these days potent political force-the American people are pro- gressive, and the result of the election in Rhode Island is anything but cheering to those republicans who think the state will forever remain in the bondage of its traditional utilization.
 During the next four years, by reason of the forces mentioned above and the growth of the principle of lower taxa tion, the democratic party is certainly destined to.'gain strength continually in Rhode Island. If the recent election is a fair criterion of the real strength of the
 parties-and it may be accepted as a fairly conclusive test of the prevailing political sentim ent-and if, too, the dem-
 ocratic party continues to grow and
 will, it is no dream of the imagination that places Rhode Island in the demo- cratic column in 1899 for the first time since the republican party came into ex- istence. With New York, under the lead of David Bennett Hill, ranged tn the democratic side, and Indiana, New Jersey and Connecticut to keep them company, the vote of the four new states
 will be less harmful than the republicans
 now hope. As an apparently certain | recruit we welcome Rhode Island and
 hope that it will continue to grow in
 creasingly democratic until it becomes
 as fixed in its allegiance to democratic
 principles and democratic candidates as
 it has hitherto been opposed.

INDOOR INTEREST.

IN putting down the carpets, sprinkle a little salt over the lining, especially around the edges; this will prevent Buffalo moths.
 KEEP copper kettle bright by using 8 weak solution of oxalic acid. Have the kettle warm, but not hot, wet Q flannel cloth in warm water, then in the acid and rub quickly over the kettle and polish with 8 soft, dry cloth.
 SAUTED BEETs.-Boil a beet. Peel and cut into slices. Melt little butter, add pepper and salt. Put in tho slices of beet and cook few minutes. Add vinegar and serve. Melt the butter in spider, cut the beet ill thin slices, salt and pepper and then fry.
 Fees should be cooked simply. The best way to boil eggs is to put them in boiling water and then set them back on the stove where they will not boil, letting them sim mer for eight or ten minutes. This makes the albumen a soft jelly throughout, and the whole is good in flavor and easily di- gested.
 SHUTTING FOR BAKED FIsH.-Take one cup of cracker crumbs, one tablespoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of chopped onion, one of chopped parsley, one of chopped capers and one of pickles. Moisten the above with one fourth of a cup of melted butter. This makes a dry, crumbly stuff1ng. Ii a moist stuffing is desired, use stale bread crumbs and moisten with an egg and the butter.
 OYSTERS AND MAcARoN1. - Cook three fourths cup of macaroni until tender. Drain and pour cold water throughit. Melt one tablespoonful butter. add one table spoonful flour and pour on slowly one and one-half cups hot milk; add one teaspoon full salt and one tablespoonful peppe~. Put a layer of macsfomi into baking dish, then layer of oysters and sauce; repeat Cover with buttered crumbs and bake twenty minutes in hot oven.
