The Republicans are not fools.

There Is one citizen in this State, In con-
spicuous official station. who has been at no
time deluded by the false claims or pretences
OF the theorists who have sought the political
regeneration OF their fellow citizens with the
framing Of an odd electoral ballot law. That
functlonary Is DAVID BENNET HILL. who on
the second day OF May last. In q memorandum
filed with the Secretary Of State. wrote:

making the exercise OF tho elective franchise difficult

Tho Advance of Cookery.

The proprietor of an English chop and ale
house, which has been we'll known In town
for more than thirty years, has Just died.
after very successful career as caterer In
those specialtles. The event brings to mind
the great transformation IN the restaurant
business and In cookery generally which has
taken place within 30 short time.
When this chop house was opened, not
long before the civil war. the only public
restaurant OF the highest quality was DEL
MoNIco's. Eating houses were scattered
over the lower part OF the town OF varying
claims to consideration, but usually OF an
inferior character as concerned their cook

they were almost universally unsatisfactory.
They were rather mere feeding places for
busy men than establishments in which
anybody could get scientifically cooked
viands artistically served. The very bread
was below the standard OF third-rate res
taurants OF the present day. The butter
was almost invariably bad, and good coffee
was scarcely known at such places. man
could satisfy the cravings OF hunger at their
tables. but that was about all.
At the same time the standards of their
patrons were not high. and their criticism OF
cookery was not exactng. 30 defective had
been the education of the people in that re-
spect. The art OF butter manufacture In this
country was at a low level, and the French
and Germans who have since broughtup our
bread making were then few and OF com
paratively little influence upon the product.
In private families, with rare exceptions,
the kitchen was administered by woman
cook, who worked by rule OF thumb to re-
suits usually distasteful At the hotels the
situation was not much better. Outside Of
the plainest and simplest cookery, and not
always in that, they made poor show.
The markets at that period offered far less
variety than they do now. The supply OF
fruits was insignificant comparatively, and
the quality and variety OF vegetables infe-
rior. Articles OF food now familiar to the
tables OF the poor were rare luxuries on the

There is the PERENNIAL and tlresome COM
plant of servants but they have been stead

better Inns extended and the capacity for in
tcllgent criticism OF them has increased.
There nre as good cooks in New York, In
public and private houses, as can be found
anywhere In the world. or course they are
here for the demand for them Is great, and
their remuneration ample. They go where
their services are appreciated at their value.
Thirty years ago New York with respect
to the noble art of gastronomy was In
comparatively barbarous age, as most OF
this country outside OF New York Is now;
but to-day this town takes its place In the
foremost rank as to cookery. In spite OF the
criticism OF foreigners who have not known
where to go to buy a perfect dinner or
have not enjoyed the privilege OF an invi-
tation to such feast. The average Is I'M
proved, and In specific cases the highest
standards are reached.
New York has grown to be q really ciyu-
lied place, the effulgent centre Of the civili-
cation OF the New World.

The Board OF Trade mot yesterday, and Col.

Mr., Warner said that he had given the sub

ton. The manufacturers OF the United
States early saw that they needed q homo
market. and hence the tariff. Then sprang
up Industries and q new market for the
farmer. Towns and villages grew. and the
farmers began to realize that they were being
drawn upon. When the war came farm prod;
ucts brought high prices and the farmers sold

but into banks and other financial institutions.
The farmers. many Of them. died, and their
depleted farms passed into other hands. Fora
century farms have been robbed OF their fer
tity. Tho land is not now rich enough to pay
tor cultivatinG. The farmers OF New England
had no conception to-day OF the actual condi-
ton of their farms and OF their possibilities.
How could the farms be reclaimed? Only
with fertilizers. The land In Hartford county
at the present time was starving for something

New England. If the farms had proper loca-
tons. 1t was mistake to send money out
West for investment when honorable indus
tries at home were starving for lack OF nour-

CALDWELL, o.. June 16.-On the spot where
the first OF all reunions was held, where
privstes and officers were all eQual-my own
idea put In practice first in 1874. when
Gen. Sherman himself was our principal
speaker-we have just finished up three days
meeting as brilliant and successful as that one.
Hayes was our speaker In 1875 and entered
the White House in 1877. Garfield was present
in 1879, and elected President OF tho United
States in 1880. We always had the greatest
man Of the hour with us. and this year was no
exception, for the seventeenth annual national
reunion was addressed by Gen. Alger
In presenting him to the soldiers as Chair
man OF the meeting. ventured to say
Hayes ana in 1919 the matchless GARFIELD simply and
abruptly as your next President and now ! take a
the result OF Introducing you Gen AlEer your next
President"
The whole host rose and cheered It to the
echo. though Gen. Alger rose quickly TO call
me 10 order for daring to name politics at 9
G.. A. r. meeting. But the crowd only laughed
and cheered the more. and ! thought detected
the faintest kind OF smile on the Generals
handsome face. The echo OF these cheers you
will hear later.
The pension question was fully discussed.
The result arrived at Is embodied in the resolu-
ton:
That We favor only q service pension bill pure and
simple demand the repeal OF the rascaly limitation
act and demand the codncauon OF the pension laws
and the overhaung OF the Pension offce so that We
may get our pensions before die; and this is

BOSTON. June 19.-The question Of shorten
ing the course at Harvard College will be
brought mp for discussion at the next meeting
of the overseers. In a general way the propo-
sition has been made public. but in such
garbled form as not clearly to establish the
methods Of shortening the course. which the
faculty sets forth as follows:
first-That the number OF courses required for tho
decree OF bachelor Of Arts be sixteen.
Second-That whom Il student enters college there
shall be placed 10 hts credit toward satisfying the re-
Quirement of sixteen courses W any advanced studies
on which he has passed In his admission examination
beyond the number required for admission and ~ any
other college studies which he has anticipated
Third-ThHt a student may be commended for tho
degree in tho middle, as we'll as ut the end Of the
adeinic year
In case the measures proposed should be
adopted 1t Is the purpose of the faculty to en-
courage the anticipation OF college studies by
students at the time OF their omission. and to
facilitate the attainment fthe degree OF Bach
elor OF Arts in less than four years. The fac.
ulty further proposes to advise parents and
for entering Harvard College.
