The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1890-04-03

We said last week that we
could best judge a refined wo-
man by the details Of her ]ress,
by her neck and wrist wear, her
gloves and shoes. Having noti-
ced these points we can learn
something further by noticing
the way different women wear
their dresses.
One will put on new gown
and be instantly at home in it,
while another will look as if
her gown did not belong to Der
at all. We all know these types
OF women. The former looks
well in whatever she puts on,
fOrgets her clothes, which seem
a part OF her, and is graceful
and charming; the latter looks
uncomfortable in a new gown,
is conscious of it AMI herself,
and is perpetually smoothing it
down here and spreading it out
there. Some women know how
to wear thsir gowns and some
do not, and style or the want OF
it has a good deal to do with
this matter. Ask any woman
which she would rather have,
beauty or style, and nearly
every one will say style. Beauty
fades, but style lasts as long as
life.
However, if a woman has
neither she may acquire a GER
tain ease and grace by forget
ting her clothes; some women
impress us with their clothes,
and others with themselves.
After woman has put on her
gown, attended to all it's details
and knows that her toilet is
complete and perfect, let her
endeavor to forget all about it.
When we go to balls and recep-
tiOns we do not want to make
the acquaintace Of a Partisan
toilet so much as OF the woman
inside Of it; but often the
clothes impress us much more
than the wearer does, and she
will not let us forget the clothes
for an instant. Clothes play a
very important part in life we
all know; but if a certain gown
attracts ns, it is because the
taste Of it is SO perfect that We
expect the wearer to be per-
fection.

Black bengaline and surah
gowns are made up in combina-

plaids, with their white and
yellow bars.
Gowns of black lace over
deep yellow silk are very
fashionable combination; they
are frequently elaborated by
stylish corsage decorations of
gold gallon.
Black canvas grenadine, wide

The Remedies.

The Remedies.
The unprecedented agricul- :
tural depression and the great
injustices done the American
farmer was the condition very
ably aud forcibly portrayed by
Senator Voorhees, of Indiana in
the United States Senate recen-
tly. in conclusion he said
The remedies TO be applied
were: Fist, Ia if reform; Sc
cond, full supply of legal
tender money; third, the free
coinage Of silver; fourth, the
suppression by law Of gambling
in futures; fifth, a liberal policy
of pensions.
AS to his second remedy we
would say the we agree with
the National Economist that
we need not only sufficient
volume of money, hut that
volume must be fterilBe.-A
volume to control and ex-
pand according TO the de-
mand made by The existance of
marketable products. This done
and no law would be necessary
to bring about the 4th remedy.
Then gambling on the products
of the soil would be impossible.
What he means by "a liberal
policy of pensions" we do not
know. But one thing certain is
that the present policy is al
ready too liberal-liberal to
absurdity. For twenty-five
years the northern soldiers,
many unworthy Of the name,
some who never smelt power
have been fed at the public
crib,a crib whose stores we have
been taxed to furnish. Yes the
southern soldier who had all
his property destroyed, has not
only been living without a
pension, but has been toiling to
feed the men, who, in many
cases, were too cowardly to
fight us. Is it not time for the
South to call halt on the pen
sion business

One Means Of Relief.

The Richmond Times says
"The poorest people, that IS
those who have less ready
money with which to supply
their daily wants, are the
larger land owners, who have
no other resource but their lands
and are dependent on hired
lab, or tenantry for its cult
vation. This is a gloomy pic
ture, we admit, but it is a true
one, of the class to which it
refers. There is, however, an
other class of agriculturists who
notwithstanding the depressed
condition Of the markets for all
farm products are prosperous
contentad and happy-who re-
alize annually enough from
their operations to supply their
wants--pay all expenses and
have Z little left to lay aside
for a "rainy day." This class is
composed almost, if no. entirely,
of the small land owners, men
who have had the wisdom to
see that idle land is worse than
dead capital, and are careful to
invest in no more than they
can judiciously use, who curtail
the acreage for cultivation,
make at home all the manure
possible and concentrate it, aud
last, but by no means least, who
plant no more than they can
thoroughly cultivate, dispen-
sing, as far as possible, with
hired labor to do it.
Is it not then the part Of
wisdom for the the large land
owner, to recognize the fact
that the cultivation of large
areas of land under the present
system of labor almost invaria-
bly, entails LOGS? That to retain
it idle and uncultiyated, brings
annually a debt in the shape of
taxes with scarcely ever any
compensatory return in the
enhancement Of its value, and
that the only Escape from the
horns of the dilemma is to SUBJ
divide the large tracts into
smaller ones, containing from
one to tive hund' ed acres, and
sell them off to Industrious and
enterprising men, on long credit,
it necessary. Thus, and thus
only, iu our judgment, will the
agricultural condition OF Vir-
ginia be improved, and the ina
terial prosperity of her people
generally be promoted"
These sensible views, SO
clearly and forcibly expressed,
and so evidently founded upon
long and discriminating obser-
walton, under exceptionally
favorably circumstances, are
entitled to the thoughtful at
tention of every farmec in NC.
! as we'll as in Virginia.

WHY WOMEN MARRY.

There are all sorts of motives
that actuatc women to marry.
For this act her reasons are
more numerous and unique than
FOR any other. The best and
most eXcusa BILE reason is being
SO much in love that she feels
u?able t. live without the man
she cares for. When this kind
of affection assails her she
might as well go and marry,
says writer III the Chicago
Herald. Marrying is the only
thing that will make her use
full and rational member OF
society.
When a. girl inarries in her
second season, the man may be
pretty sure of her whole heart.
1t always seems a pity for a
woman to fall in love so young.
though. In marrying at nine
teen she gives up four or five
years Of perfect freedom aud
unl ampered plea sue. One can
be married for n long lime, but
four or five years a.e all that
are socially accorded to young
ladyhood. These years, with
their freedo n aud opportunities
for travel and reading, are not
to be scorned. They often give
the strength ard ex erieuce up
on which is formed the success
of a lifetime. Every man and
woman should belong entirely
to hemself for at least fou
years Of hes perfect physical
and mental maturity One should
know ones strength and ones
weaknesses before asserting the
one or resisting the other a
gainst a fellow-creature.
Then in marr wing young
girl a man seems to take more
risk and more responsibility
than he does in marrying one
between twenty and twenty five.
Between those ages n woman's
social aims and worllly ambi-
tions become decided.

A DESERVED ANSWER.

In debate in the Senate the
other day, Senator Sherman ask
ed Senator Eustis, of Louisiana,
if he did not know that the 18th
Amendment would never haye
Deen adopted but for the fact
that the laws or the Southern
States practically deprived the
negroes of their rights of citizen
ship; and that otherwise recon-
structions would have rested
solely on the 14th Amendment.
In replying Mr.. Eustis said:
"lt has been my honest convic-
ton that all the reconstruction
measures, all the Federal legis-
iatiOn. and ,hr Constitutional
Amendments, were adopted by
the Republican rarty with the
single object of AfricaDizing the
South and maintaining and
preserving their political supre-
macy
Your pretenCe now is that the
negro was armed with suffrage
to protect him in his rights.
That is a mere pretence. He
was given the suffrage to beat
down those terrible "rebels," to
punish them, to degrade them,
and with the hope Of establish
ing on solid basis the Repub-
lican party in the Southern
States. That is my opinion.
What | consider the gretest
crime which has ever been COM
mitted against civilized COM
munities has been committed
by the Republican party Of this
country; and if you today stand
aghast and appalled,, as l know
you do, at the results of your
work and feel like apologizing
to the country and to yourselves
for having committed such a
monstrous crime against the
civilization of the South, I as

will not by any answer to that
question help him out of any
such difficulty as that

NOMINATE MEN
Who are Known to Favor the
Legislation Desired by the
People.

The Daily State Chronicle
says:-PeOple are already talk
ing politics. This will be a
notable year in the political
world Of North Carolina. We
have to elect:
|. A Chief Justice and an
Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court OF the State.
2. Superior Court Judges of
the First, Second, Fourth, Fifth,
Seventh. Eighth, Tenth and
Eleventh districts.
3. Solicitors in all the tw elve
judicial districts.
4. Nine members of the United
States House Of Representatives.
D. Fifth State Senators.
s. One hundred and twenty
members of the North Carolina
House Of Representatives.
7. All county officers.
The Legislature to be elected
will be charged with the i'm
portant duty Of electing a United
States Senator. as Senator
Vance's term expires March
4tb, 1891.
The Importance Of this cleo
ton is evlden. from the above
list Of officers to be elected.
The outlook is particularly
promising to the Democrats.
The Republicans, except locally,
seem to have no life. In that
lies our chief danger. The
Democratic party succeeds only
when it is scared" and puts
out its strongest men. The ap-
parent weakness of the State
Republican party may cause
Democrats in the districts to be
Indifferent as to the strength of
the nominees. That would be a
fatal error. There never was
a time when the party needed
to exercise such care in the
personnel of candidates as this
year. The people are thorough
going Democrats, but they will
not support bud men for Office.
The Democratic party has al
ways been invincible in this
State because the character of
the nominees has been such as
to disarm all suspicion or criti-
cism. This year there will be
need only to nominate lnen Of
character and integrity. More
will be demanded. They must
be men Of known character, and
men known to favor the legisIa-
ton desired by the people.
Homes men must and will be
nominated, and the definition
OF an honest man will read.

fariiy Of Preparation.

:
housewives and cooks is what
TO do with cold meats. We
answer, make hash of it. But
you say that the men are tired
oc hash and are sure to soon
grumble at''warmed up" dishes
But stop my dears, let us see if
the fault IS not in the prspera-
ton of these dishes.
Both hOusekeepers and Ordi-
nary cooks make a mistake in
doing hash always exactly in
the same way. 1t is very nice,
indeed, minced finely, seasoned
with salt and pepper, and put
into the oven until Drowned to
a crispness; but it is just as nice
in half a dozen different ways,
SO why make it a Wearisome re
petition by always serving it
the same fashion? One time
use little mace and butter to
season it, besides the salt and
pepper, and before removing
from the stove stir in enough
water to make it moist, and do
not put it in the over to brown
and crisp. Another time use a
bit Of grated onion Gf you are
sure the men like them) for the
seasoning and cook 1t so dry
that each morsel Of potato and
meat is severally Drowned. This
is an excellent way when the
quantity of meat is small and
that of potato large; you can
also sometimes serve it this
way with thin slices of bac,n,
crisped to a nicely. Another
time brown it i'll a shape ON a
platter and serve with Ioached
eggs. Another, mOisten with
mushroom catsup, instead of
water, and when chopping the
potato chop i'll Can of mush-
rooms. Still another, cut off the
end and take ont the seeds Of
large-sized tomatoes, fill the
aperture with minced meat and
potato and butter, salt and pep
per as seasoning, and bake in a
hot oven.
There are seven changes
which may be rung on the one
theme and still keep it the
good old-fashioned dish. By
this means the grumbling men
will! cease to grumble even
if they are served with has,

then come on in the same form

then be scornfully spoken OF in
the household as a. warmed up
breakfast" for it is worthy of
the name "made dish," and the

made dishes may indeed feel
that she has climbed the noun
tain top. This is but one of
the most common ways Of max
ing made dishes gwen as illus
trative of the uses of other
seasoning that salt and depper.
The above is simply one illus
tration. In a similar manner a
dozen or more changes, pleasant
to the palate, could and should
be made in the preparation Of
other, almost every dish. Take
an inventory of your kitchen
closet and if it does not contain
a dozen or two different kinds
of seasoning, make haste to
supply them and see that your
cook uses them. But remember
that it is variety and not quanti-
ty of seasoning. Many cooks
make a mistake in over season.
