REPUBLICAN, misgivings, lest in deal
ing with contested election cases the
house of representatives may be as un.
fair and unjust as Reed and his gang
were two years ago, are unfounded. All
the democrats whose seats were stolen
from them were reelected by increased
majorities, and the democrats have rea.
son to be satisfied. They don't want
any more seats and the poor, little. rag
ged republican remnant in the further
corner Of the house may rest easy.

Dear sir: On October IA, 1881, / applied to
the "Northwestern'' through your agency
for two policies Of 5000 each, ordinary
life, ten-year t%ontine. the premiums on
both amounting to $850.4O {, my age being
then 81. On the l4th Of October, 1881, (last

tions of settlement offered me by the com
pany, / accepted the offer of cash surplus
Of "a, 493. Sc. I might have received an adj
ditional amount in cash Of $3.294.W (the
reserve). but ! preferred to take simply my
surplus, and continue my 100000 with the
company, paying hereafter nay regular pre-
miums, less annual dividends. l desire to
express my entire satisfaction with the re-
suit of these policies and my dealings with
the company. Yours truly,

but " ~ Tar from unanimous. wherever ~
tho autumn election the republicans carried
a state II was 4 victory for MI. blaine, But
although the electoral vote Of New York Ii
Indispensable tor the democrats, nnd AL
though thoy carried thu state by = large
majority, and although Mr., Cleveland aud
his democratic friends took an ACTIVE part
In tho cnmpaiQn, the result confirmed the
power Of the democratio facfion which ID
most hostile 70 Mr.. Cleveland, and which
controls the party organization.
Moreover. tho contest for the speaker
ship has been waged with acrimony MS a
test Of Mr. Cleveland's hold upon his party.
His especial opponent and rival, Governor
Hill, goes to the senate and to the WASH
ington democratic councils, There will he
no abatement of the ardor Of factional
strife, and when tho decisive moment Of
the nomination arrives, it may appear to
the party leaders that Mr.. Cleyeland's nom
nation might lose the vote of the state Of
New YoFk, as it was lost in 1883.
Nothing is clearer han that for its own in
terast the democratic party ought to APP
peal 20 the country next year for tariff re.
form with Mr.. Cleveland as its candidate,
as, if Mr.. Blaine will consent, the repuh-
lican party will enthusiastically make him
its candidate upon q platform OF high
duties and reciprocity. But notwithstand-
ing the preference for Mr.. Cleveland by
the progressive and intelligent sentiment of
his party, and his a~cceptability to indie
pendent voters because OF his views tof
tariff reform n civil service reform, and
the currency, and Notwithstanding the fact
that he is what may be called the logical
candidate of his party, it is not clear that
his nomination may not be defeated by the
situation in New York, unless the demand
for it from the rest of the country should
be resistless.
The trouble with the mngwnmp is
that he is always putting the man above
the party. In the late election in New
York, with the exception Of the element
represented by the New York Times, all
mugwumpery opposed the democratic
nominee for governor; yet had Mr..
Flower been defeated Mr.. Cleveland's
candidacy, which the mugwumps pro-
fess to desire, would have been ended
the spot. Those mugwumps may be
patriots, but they are mighty bad poll
t~icians. The democratic party is not
welded to any idol. Any honest and
capable man in whose hands it places
the banner of tariff reform next year
will lead the way to victory. 'Princi-
pies, not men,"

The mugwump view of things polit-

commands respect il not concurrence.

Manufacture of Rubber Goods.

England is the country where the
mackintoshes and silk gossamers are
manufactured. Those used in European
countries are all imported from Lon
don and Manchester. The first gos-
samers were manufactured in this country
in the early seventies at Boston. They
were made in the beginning under a
patent, and the sum of $40 wa then
charged for a gossamer that can now be
bought for 81. This cheapening in the
article is altogether due to the fact that
the patent has expired. The English
goods sold here are the rubber and cloth
of the finer makes. Ordinary rubber
clothing is not imported, but is entirely
the result of American industry. The
rubber manufacturing centers Of the
United States are Massachusetts, Con-
n~ecticut, New York and New Jersey, but
Massachusetts leads them all In the i'm
portance of the traffic and quality Of the
output. The workers in these rubber
goods are a well-paid lot of people.
Rubber is bought in bulk, in chunks and
barrels from Para, Brazil. Chicago
spends every year fully 81, 0O0, 000sfof
its rubber goods. Chicago Post.

SALAD SAUCES.

Salad sauces, unless properly prepared,
writes Mrs. q. r. Parker in the Gouries
Journal. are not only very unpalatable,
but also very unhealthy, a fact that has
given many people the idea that salads
are unsuitable food for general use. Care
| must be given the work, when it will be
found very easy to serve an excellent,
digestible dish, by using either plain
sauce dressing, or mayonnaise sauce, as
the occasion may require. The following
recipes are taken from the best author
tiles on the subject, and are used by the
best cooks:
East India Salad Sauce-Rub the
yolks of two hard-boiled eggs smooth
and add a ~teaspoonfnl Of curry powder,
eight te~aspoonsful Of olive oil, gradually,
and two tablespoonsful Of tarragon vine-
gar; work until proper consistency.
French Salad Dressing-Put half a
t~easpoonfnl of salt, and a fourth Of a tea
spoonful Of pepper in o bowl, add then
three tablespoonsful of oil, gradually,
rub and mix well, then pour in table,,
spoonful of vinegar, and stir for one
minute. (
Cream Salad Dressing-Mash the hard
boiled yolks of three eggs until fine, then
add the yolk of one raw egg, and beat
smooth, add q tablespoonful of melted
butter, salt and pepper, beat half q tea-
cup of thick cream, stir the mixture all
together and then add two tablespoons
full of strong vinegar.
Plain Salad Dressing-Mix one tea
spoonful OF oil, n s~altspoonful of salt,
and half as much black pepper, stir
until well mixed, add to the salad, and
mix again, then add three more table
~spoonsful of oil and stir the salad lightly.
Lastly add a tablespoonful Of sharp
vinegar, stir again, and serve.
English Salad Dressing-Rub the
yolks of two hard-boiled eggs and one
raw one together; when very smooth add
a teaspoonful of salt and half as much
pepper, with a t~easpoonful of dry mus
tard; by degrees, add six tablespoonsful
Of oil and ten Of vinegar; mix well, and
add four tablespoonsful of sweet cream,
and set on ice until wanted.
Simple Mayonnaise-Take a bowl, wash
in cold water, and set on the ice until
well chilled. Heat the yolks of two
eggs and drop in the bowl; add q tea
spoonful of salt and q saltspoon of pepper;
add one tablespoonful of oil; beat thor
oughiy, and, by degrees, add half a pint
of oil. When it begins to thicken adds
few drops Of vinegar at a time, until two
tablespoonfuls have been mixed in.
Mayonnaise sauce, for fancy salads, may
be colored green by the addition of spin
ach juice, and red with the vinegar from
picked beets. Aspec m~ayonnaise is
made by adding melted aspec jelly to
mayonnaise.

Meanwhile, poor frenzied sophy ran
down the road with baby, head down
wards, but tightly held-until, at the
turnpike's end, she ran straight into the
arms of Mr.. Salton and his wife, and
then tainted dead away.
They brought her back. The poor,
weak, overweight child had swooning
spells at night; but Mrs. sa lton held hel
in her arms, and could not be kind
enough to the lovely, faithful young
thing-who was never lonely again. The
good couple took her into their hearts
with a warmth and completeness which
left nothing to be desired. They made
her a daughter in every sense of the
word.
The law disposed of the villain Jim,
so that he, nor his mate, were seen
by the Saltons again. The horse, which
was a good one, fell to their lot. The
price of the big cheese, exhibited at q
large fair, brought the sum Of it's worth
several times over-the money being re-
turned to the happy maker. This, added
to q good amount for which the horse
was finally disposed of, paid off the
mortgage on the cottage; and the Sal
tons are now prosperous and happy

Extraordinary Japanese weaving.

An extraordinary piece of Japanese
weaving is now at the exhibition 10
Toxic. It is known as isuzure.ori, or
pierced weaving. II is one of great size
and the design is equestrian archery, an
old-world accomplishment in Japan, and
ri which is frequently used for pur-
poses Of illustration and design by Japan
ese artists. The price asked for it vas
SIG, 200. The distinctive feature of this
kind Of weaving Is that the whole mar
gin Of the design is perforated like the
joining of postage stamps, so-that when
the whole piece Is held up TO the light
the design of the artist seems to be :
pended In the body Of the stuff. In
Japan this kind Of weaving has been re.
garded IS d tour de force OF the artist,
and IL i believed that the piece is the
largest and finest ever produced.-Cm.

WISE WORDS.

The serene, silent beauty ofsa noble
life is the most powerful influence infthe
world.
It is always safe to learn, even from
your manifestation safe to instruct,
sven our friends.
The reaction of matter on spirit is
something for which we do not always
make due allowance.
Harsh counsels have no effect; they
are like hammers which are always re-
pulsed by the anvil.
There is no dispute managed without
a passion, and yet there is scarce a dis
pute worth a passion.
A bosom empty Of a heart ofpain
makes a lusterless life; but a bosom, in
which a heart bleeds reveals hidden viz
tues.
The bread of sorrow is leavened with
error, mixed with imprudenee, kneaded
with perversity and baked in the oven of
dissipation.
The very consciousness of trying for
real excellence in anything is a great
support. It takes the sting from failure
and doubles the joy of success.
Awoman does not stretch from the
darkness of ignorance into thesfdll bloom
and splendor of knowledge and power
simply by letting herself alone.
If love is to be really the crownsof life,
it must be a crown of thorns as well as
a crown of roses. It must nervetus for
bearing sorrow; it should make uss pure
by pain and by forgetting self.
An artist, as the creator of histworks,
leads e higher life than his lower. earthly
fate exhibits to us; those creations of his
mind to which we cannot riseispring
forth in a mysterious atmosphere.
It is the perversity of h~umansnature
that makes the things of mortalitysdearer
to us in proportion as they fade from our
hopes, like birds, whose hues are only
unfolded when they take wing.and van
ish amid the skies.
Be merry, but with modesty ;'be sober,
but not %sullen; be valiant, but not ven
turesome; let your clothes be comely, but
lot costly; your diet wholesome, but not
excessive; mistrust no man without
cause, neither be thou credulous without
proof.
