HOW TO IMPROVE TAINTED
MEAT.

Besides the great quantity of meat
lost the past winter, there was much
damaged to some extent, which may
be- used with profit and pleasure by
the following treatment: Slice the
meat at night and place in soak in a
solution of common baking soda. In
the morning take it from soak and
wash off the soda water and 1t is ready
for use. Thus meat that is otherwise
useless may be rendered good and
palatable. II. W. NORRIS.

Important Action.
Here is the Alliance policy, given
in detail.

the report Of the committee appointed

ton and other matters of moment,
and has Endorsed tie work of that

made on the first inst.
The subcommittee, which drew up
the report, CONSISTED of Messrs. Liv-
ington, Pope and Brown.
When Chairman Corrupt, of the

ing to order, the subcommittee re-
ported as follows:
Whereas, Paragraph 4, section 2,
article 4 of the Constitution of Geor-
gia declares: "The General Assembly
OF this State shall have no power to
authorize any corporation to buy
shares or stock in any other corpora
ton in the State or elsewhere, or to
make any contracts or agreements
whatever with any such corporation
which may have the effect, or be in
tended to have the effect, to defeat or
lessen competition in their respective
businesses, or to encourage monopoly;
and such contracts and agreements
shall be illegal and void"
Your committee respectfully sug-
gest the enforcement of the above
constitutional clause in it's full and
original intent, to-wit: That corpora.
tions shall remain competitive, not for
given points or localities, but for the
whole people and the entire State:
and that the powers of the Interstate
and State railway commissions be so
enlarged as that they may cooperate
one with the other in regulating
c-lassfcations and rates, and the ware,
house features of railway cars and
depots. And these regulations should
be based upon a reasonable cost of
construction, equipment and running

The glories of the Golden Gate are
not so inviting when we see that the
other day a train that went up the
mountain on the Central Pacific re-
quired nineteen of the company's most
powerful locomotives and a push plow
to get them over, and even with this
power it got stalled near Emigrant
Gap. This was the last trip possible
to make with the push pillow; after
that they had to depend entirely upon
power plows to throw the snow out of
the deep cuts.

A TARIFF POEM.

He sat in his door at monday,
lonely and gloomy and sad; brooding
over the price of his corn crop and
figuring how much he had. He had
worked from early springtime, early
and late and hard; and he was count
ing his assets and figuring out his re-
ward. He figured that it took two
acres to buy his two boys new boots,
and ten acres more on top OF this to
fit them out with new suits. To buy
his wife a protected dress took 100
bushels more, while five acres went
in a solid lump for the carpet on the
floor. His taxes and his grocery bill
absorbed his crop of oats, while the
interest on his farm mortgage took
all his fattened shoats. The shingles
On the COW shed and the lumber for
his barn had eaten up his beef steers
and the balance Of his corn. So he
sat in his door at MONDAY, lonely and
gloomy and sore, as he figured up his
wealth a little less than it was the
year before. "By gum, they say
I'm protected, but l know there's
wrong; I've been deceived and gulled
and hoodwinked by this high protec-
ton song. They tod of rebellious
traitors and held up the bloody rag,
and [ followed along like a pumpkin,
and now I am holding the bag. But
from this time on I'll investigate and
get to the bottom of facts, and I'll
bet 81 to begin with, that the tariff is
a tax"
