The great DR.. Talmadge uttered a
profound truth in the following
language:
"Tde overshadowing curse of Amer.
lea, to-day, is monopoly. He puts his
hand on every bushel of wheat. every
sack OF salt and every ton of coal, and
not man, woman or child in America
but feels the touch of this moneyed
despotism. His scepter is made out Of
the iron track of railroading and the
wire of telegraphy. He proposes to
have everything his own way fol his
own advantage and the peoples rob-
berry. He stands in the railroad depot
and puts into his pockets each year
$2O0,OOO,0OO beyond the reasonable
charges for his service. He controls
nominations and elections-c;ty cleo.
tions, state elections, and national
elections. He has the democratic party
in one pocket and the republican party
in the other.'
Now it is a fact that the light of
truth is being shown up to the Ameri
can people that the two old parties
have compromised with the cursed
British financial policy and it is just a
question of time when the rising gen.

Useful Recipes.

CARNIVAL KRAPFEN.-Whisk two
eggs we'll, adding to them table spoon
full of sifted sugar, two tablespoonfuls Of
yeast, teacupful of lukewarm milk,
and teacupful of salt Beat all we'll
together, and then cream in gradually
light quart of sifted -four, aud more
milk if the batter is not quite thin.
Beat until the batter falls from the
spoon, then set it aside to rise. When
tt has risen, make frying pan ready,
half full of boiling lard, and drop the
krapfen in, frying them pretty pale
brown. Cut the pieces from the tighten
ed dough without kneading or shaping;
drain the grease we'll from them by
setting them in colander as they are
lifted from the pan, or by laying them
upon napkin spread over dish.
GERMAN PUDD1NG.-The Germans
excel in buildings, and this one that
bears the national name can hardly fail
to please the most fastidious taste if
the directions given are carefully carried
out. Put pint of 'ifted family -four
into bowl of convenint size, and moist.
en- by stirring in gradually gill of hot
boiled milk. Add salt spoonful of
salt, with quarter of pound of melted
butter, and put the whole together into
a pan over moderate fire, and stir
constantly, but gently, until the batter
thickens. Now remove it from the fire,
but continue to work the paste. When
quite smooth return it to the fire, and
continue to stir it, adding little at
time, quarter of pound of sugar, a
favoring of vanilla or orange rind,
another quarter Of a pound of warmed
butter, and little more salt, with the
yolks of ten eggs. Let this continue on
the fire until it begins to get frothy,
when the whites of the eggs must be
added, which, meanwhile, must have
been beaten as light as possible. Have
ready a well-buttered pudding mould
strewn with finely powdered sugar and
-four or bread crumbs, and into this
pour the mixture as soon as the whites
of the eggs have been stirred in. A
round dome shaped mould is the usual
one adopted for this pudding, and is
very pretty. Directly the mould is
filled it must be placed in a stnw.pan
holding boiling water. Do not let the
water reach to more than half the height
Of the mould. Set the stew pan on the
stove where the water may be kept at
boiling-point, but do not allow its
quantity to be reduced, which can be
managed by replenishing it when
necessary, from kettle Of water kept
constantly boiling and ready. In about
three-quarters OF an hour the pudding
will be done. Turn it out, and serve
with any sweet sauce you prefer.

L'Etendard publishes a communica-
ZION, dated Montreal, April 30, and
signed "a Priest" in which the writer
states that certain person offers to de-
vote to the education of three or four
hundred French-Canadian young men in
the United States property capable of
yielding an annual income of at least
100000. The college would be estab-
lished in Canada and intrusted to some
religious order, but no residents of Can
ada would be admitted as pupils, unless
the United States could not furnish
sufficient number. The students would
be provided with board, clothing and
tuition, without any fee or charge what
ever The only condition for the reali-
cation of the scheme is the immediate
subscription of $4,000 or s., 900 to wipe
off certain mortgages and debts, and an
appeal is made to the French Canadians
to contribute help In this instance. Those
having certain capital which they can
dispose of are also invited to invest it in
this scheme; mortgage will be given on
the properties and twice the amount of
capital invested will be reimbursed after
five years without any other interest.

Farmers Get Down to Business.

If there is any one class of wealth
producers more at fault for the present
depressed condition than another, it is
the farmer, as no other class has ever
had so great majority of the national
vote. Then, Mr.. Farmer, isn't it time
to bestir yourselves and use that ma
jority to secure legislation in your own
interest? So long as you are content
with pic-nics, resolves and whereases.
so long the other fellows are content
to take the profits of your labor and
nominate your law makers for you
while they joke over your stupidity as
you blindly vote yourself into bondage
to the money power When you quit
resolving and get right down to solid
legislative action, then the tide will
'urn, and you may laugh while monop-
oily trembles, and trusts and combines
dissolve.

GLOOMY VIEWS FROM
KANSAS.
STARTLING REVELATIONS MADE BY

THE STATE FARMERS ALLIANCE.
Topeka, Kan.--The discomfort
among the Kansas farmers has been
growing instead of diminishing. To
ascertain the cause Of this feeling to a
certainty the state officials of the Farm
crs' Alliance caused to be asked a
series of questions of secretaries of the
sub alliances, of which there are about
twenty five hundred, The principal
questions were: How many members
are renters? How many have I'm
mortgaged farms? How many have
mortgaged farms?
The answers reveal a gloomy state of
affairs, from which no relief can be OBJ
tanned except by political change.
The mortgage Indebtedness is found to
be on farms alone $l46, 563, 134. This
Indebtedness is on some $4,000 farms.
The majority of these mortgagors have
defaulted their interest, and foreclosures
are sure to follow. The remaining
ones will get through only after great
hardship.
Another startling fact, for a new
state, is revealed. According to the
reports received by the alliance officers,
there are 100 renters, large proper.
ton of whom lost their homes through
foreclosure suits, having been unable to
pay the interest on loans made when
they were the owners of the land. This
was caused first by successive years Of
bad crops, and finally by the low prices
last year when large crops had rewarded
their efforts.
Of the membership of over $4,000
farmers, 1900 have farms uuencum-
bered, and the majority Of these are
the victims of chattel mortgages at high
rates OF interest, which means they are.
if possible, in worse condition than
those who have their farms mortgaged.
There are 100000 farms in Kansas,
according to Judge PETER, most care
full statistician, so the alliance would
account for but 10 900. The evil
reaches beyond that organization. The
farmers mutual benefit association,
while not nearly so large, will show
about 1900 farmers in relatively the
same condition, and the agricultural
section of the union labor party a sim
liar state Of affairs, making an aggre-
gate of 10000. These organizations
are the only ones that have made any
effort to gather statistics, and nothing
but guesswork remains as to the con-
ditiou OF the democratic and republican
farmers until the grand aggregate can
be obtained from the United States

to ride through crowd of his subjects
on many a day when his brow was
clouded and his eyes roamed over the
faces alertly.
His officers turned their backs on the
emperor, but no one thought it breach
of etiquette. They, too, watched the
people with ceaseless vigilance. AT the
points where the crowd stood thickest

away from the emperor as they leaned
half forward ON their horses and watched
every movement of the throng narrowly.
A hundred feet in advance of the en-

shrewdest and best men in the service.
A little close scrutiny showed that they

He was a strong, able man. who stood high in the

the most valuable discoveries ofthlscentury This
remarkable compound is not a nervine an essence, %
