THE COUNTRY AwaITs oUAY's REFU.
TATION.

While there are circumstances at times
that Justify apublic man IN notnoticing all
the little malicious and slanderous things
said about him, yet no one, in high or
low place, can afford to remain silent
when serious charges involving character
are made by thoroughly responsible
party. Silence, therefore, is rot always
golden. The charges made by the New
York World against Senator Matthew s.
Quay are not only serious, but are so spe-
cifc in their statements and dates that
failure on his part to notice them will nec-
essarily lead the general public to believe
him to be guilty in form and manner as
indicted No graver, no more henious
offenses have ever been charged to the
doings of any man holding pualic office
than .hose contained in the Worlds ar
raignment of this conspicuous Republican
boss.
1t is a mighty poor way of answering
the severe accusations for the accused to
wrap himself up in a political cloak and
say, won't resign the Craftsmanship Of
the National Republican Committee under
fire; and, yet, some of the machine organs
refer TO this declaration as full and com
plete vindication OF this arch manipulation
of county, State and National elections.
Nor is tue course pursued by his home
organ, the Beaver Falls Tribune, any more
to the point or more consistent, by resort.
lug to the method of all self-convicted
llrs, by saying "you are another" In a
late issue, without attempting any answer
or explanation in behalf of the dictator, it
tries the experiment of calling the Wol tds
proprietors ugly names. Suppose Colonel
Cokerill, assistant editor, did kill his man,
or that Mr.. Pulitzer, proprietor, when
quite young, acted in the capacity OF Il
hotel waiter, how does all this relieve
Senator Quay from the terrible accusa-
tions of one of the leading newspapers OF
the country? AS is well said by kepuo-
lican exchange, Self-defense, and not
vituperation, is the present duty of the
Republican leader
On the principle that what's sauce for
the goose is sauce for the gander, we mod.
estly suggest that the Republican papers
who ale saying That Mayor Giant, of New
York, cannot "pooh-pooh away with a
dignifed silence" the story of McCann,
neither can Matthew Quay "poohpooh
away" the Worlds serious accusations.
What difference it makes as to who
owns the OK with these Republican papers
that have sworn eternal allegiance to the
Pennsylvania boss, whether he is right or
wrong:

SENATOR CHANDLER's proposition that
the Senate adopt what is known as the
Reed Rule in the Senate, which is, in
effect, that any bill may be passed by a
minority of votes if the presiding officer
sees (or thinks he sees) present quorum
of the House-is hardly likely to find
favor in that body. 1t would never nave
been approved in the lower House. had
not the political exigcncy OF narrow
majority nstigated those who had before
opposed the rule to adopt it as the short
est road to victory. The Senate, by the
seating of the Montana Senators, has
Republican ma ioritY Of ten, which could
not be disturbed for several years, though
the Democratic party carried every State
in successive elections. Thus firmly in
trenchud, the Senators are not tempted to
establish principle that might one day
be turned against themselves with dis
astrous results.

consul at Chicago, which states the pos
tive opinion of the author that sugar
making from sorghum is now an estab.

double the value to the American farmer

hereafter there will be no difficulty of
getting from 7 lie tons of cane $50
pounds of sugar and 1000 pounds of
molasses and 900 pounds of seed-the
whole valued at over$50. This is double
what the same area of wheat or Indian
corn would produce In some states

lieves this industry will add six-fold
value to the farm lands. When it is re-

Big baskets like clothes baskets sre
used rs receptacles, one basket being filled
for each house that is to be served. In
the bottom Of the basket is laid white
cloth, so as to hang over the sides. On
this are placed the dishes, and on top of
them are inverted tin Jpans. These tin
pans, rs well as the plates. etc, are made
very hot before being put in, and finally
over all are laid cloths, tackled in, so that
the heat does not easily find any way OF
escaping. The baskets thus prepared
are loaded into covered wagons, with
doors that close Mt the back, and are rap
idly conveyed to their destinations. We
are able in this way to supply meals that
are sufficiently hot upon arrival any
where within a radius of ten blocks,
though we do not like to try it any fur

ploy four such conveyances-delivers
each basket in tho house it is intended
for and leaves it there. It only remains
for the family to put the things on the
table. An hour or 40 later the wagon
returns and takes away the basket with

is needed for the meals, except table

Variety In the Color of Eggs

1t may be taken as general rule that
the eggs Of most birds vary more or less
as regards size, shape and coloring
Guillemots' eggs vary in ground color
from grayish white to grass green. The
eggs of the red grouse, the rock and the
plover also vary to a great extent, both
in color and marking. 1t sometimes hap
pens that birds whose eggs are usually
bright and artistically colored will lay
pure white ones, and instances Of this in

under the notice Of the writer. House

them was II real old fashioned woman,
wearing quaint old bonnet, and having
the traditional number of parcels and
bandboxes with her, She had eaten a
tried cake anu drunk from n bottle OF
cold tea, and after brushing the crumbs
away she took from her pocket Il whet-
stone and Il pocket knife and began put
ting an edge on the latter. There was q
general stir of interest around her, and
Il man who sat near by remarked;
We'll, you are the first woman | ever
saw who could sharpen knife
Lands save you, but l know fifty of
em!" she replied. ANY women folks up
our way who can't sharpen axes and
knives are counted no good. This ere
knife belongs to the old man, and hain't
very good stuff"
Whats your object in sharpening the
knife" he asked, as she worked away
with much vigor.
"Corns. Got two on the bottom OF
my left foot. Orter pared 'em down

"Sharp as a razor" he replied, rs he
received the knife, felt of its edge and
passed it back.
Eyes, guess it will do. You'd better
move now. Hate to bother you, but

He moved away, followed by two OIL
three others, and the old lady slipped of
her shoe and stocking, turned her bach
% the crowd, and began operations. She
was through in about twenty minutes
and, after replacing her shoe, she bundled
her packages together and loudly re
