which he, himself, played no incon-

Peach Mangoes.

Prepare brine. Boil together six
quarts of water and pint of coarse
salt, and skim it until it is clear; then
cool it. The quantity may be increased
to suit the number of peaches, but the
proportion of salt and water must be
observed. Choose fresh. sound peaches,
brush them with a soft brush, and lay
them in the cold brine for three days.
Then remove them from the brine; cut
piece out of the top of each one, and
take out the stone without enlarging
the top; for two dozen large peaches
mix together two pounds of brown
sugar, one onion, and Glove of garlic
chopped fine, four ounces of grated
horse-radish and white mustard seed,
one ounce of powdered cinnamon, and
half an ounce each of ground-cloves,
mace, turmeric. Use sufficient salad
oil to moisten these ingredients. Fill
the peaches with them; close the cut
with piece of peach, and either sew or
tie it in place. Put the stuffed peaches
into glass jars, cover them with cold
vinegar, pour two tablespoonfuls OF
salad-oil, in each jar and seal them air
tight. Ladies' Home Journal.

A Brooklyn coal dealer who rode for
two miles on street car with citizen
of his neighborhood. showed him fifteen
different weather prophet predictions
that the coming winter would be very
hard one. In addition, he said he had
been out in the country and noticed that
corn husks were unusually thick, and
that the frogs were preparing to go
down to the bottom of puddles not less
than six feet deep
"Yes, Iexpect it will be very hard

listening to everything.

Senator Edmunds, Chairman of the
Judiciary Committee of the United
States gives it as his opinion in the
case of the Illinois legislature failing
to elect a senator to succeed Farwell,
that the governor has not tie power
to appoint a United Senator in a case
where the vacancy occurred during a
session of the legislature of the state
in question and said legislature fails
to elect. If the legislature does not
elect the vacancy will continue until
the next legislature meets and makes
a choice. In other words. Illinois would
in such an emergency have but a sim
gle senator. The matter has been dis
cussed a great deal recently and Sena.
tor Edmund's dlctum carries with it,
by implication, the exprcssionsof a ma
jorlty of the committee on Judiciary.
His idea is that the Legislature rep
resents the people, and should the leg
islature not comply with the require
ments of the condition al respects the
election of a senator such failure would
be accepted as an expression of dis
agreement among the people, and,
moreover, a quasi declaration that the
people were willing to a one-man rep
seseutation until another be elected.

Non.Res,dcnt Aliens.

A bill has been introduced prohibit
ing the holding Of lands by non resi-
dent aliens. We II glad to see that
this bill was opposed by Black Hills
members. While such a law would
work only good as to agricultural
lands it could and would work great
hardship in the development of our
mineral lands. American capitalists,
with few exceptions, have not yet been
educated up to the point of investing
large capital IN the development of
mines. True, a comparatively few
capitalists in California and Colorado
who have made their wealth in mining
operations, have sufficient confidence
in the mineral wealth of the country
to invest largely in mines, with uni
formly satisfactory results, but the
great bulk of American capital is tim
id and far from busincss-like in its
methods. The result is that a large
proportion of our MINES in all parts of
the country r developed and owned
by foreign capital with accompanying
great benefits to all classes of our peo-
pie. Should our legislature pass law
restricting the development Of our
minerals in the Hills to American cap
ital, our mineral resources would be
set back ten years at least, and with
them all the other interests of the
western part Of the state would suffer.
We hope u western representa-
tlves may be able to make this point
sufficiently plain, to cause an amend
ment to be made in favor of mineral
lands when the bill shall finally pass.

Pierre New.

Moody's friends say that he has de.
manded and will be given another
trial for the senatorship as the caucus
nominee Of the republican party and
will be sprung o tho legislature to-
day. On the twenty-eighth ballet yes
terday Sol Star was brought forth.
Besides Star there were twenty-four
other candidates voted Cor. Campbell
received 81; Trip, 25; Melville, 13;
Moody, ID; Star 9. The result OF the
ballot yesterday did not result in max.
ing the situation any more plain or
relieving the the anxiety of a score of
prominent politicians and statesmen
who are praying that lightning may
be attracted toward them. From
present indications tho election Of a
senator is in as unsettled a condition
as it was at the beginning Of the ballot
ing. There is nothing so far that in
dicates who the lucky man will be.

February Weather.

Prof. w. T. Foster gives the follow
ing representations Of the weather in
the Lead Herald, and we reprint them
for the benefit Of our readers:
The next snow storm will be
due to leave the Pacific coast about the
18th, pass the Rock-Allega valley from
IL to 14th and reach the Atlantic coast
about the 18th. II will be of very con-
siderable force in the west with warm.
damp weather preceding it and not a
very cold cold-wave following 1t. A large
amount of snow and rain will fall dur.
ing it s passage across the continent,
mostly rain in the southern states. The
low barometer will pass through the
northern states. and the rain will fall
south Of the center of its path and
snow north Of it. The cold wave fol-
lowing will not I've severe in the
southern states. The winter weather
will be less severe in the eastern states
and colder in the Mississippi valley
than has been the average thus far.

The storm has so far been only con-
sidered in relation to its effect on
tra.;c and the stagnation it has caused
to commerce. There is no cloud with
out a silver lining, however, and
though the interruption of mail SER
vice, and the usual means of egress
from and ingress to the Hills, may have
been responsible for more or less neon
v%cnicnce, the storm has nevertheless
been a positive blessing. The entire
Hills have been praying for a snow,
and may be thankful that the prayer
is answered. The weather has been
phenominally dry; too dry for health,
and too dry to promise a successful
year for either agricultural or mining
enterprises. Moisture has been badly
needed, and the snow falling Saturday
and Sunday will furnish a good part
Of what is needed. The yearly aver
age Of moisture precipitated in the
Hills varies very little, and therefore
it it may reasonably be expected that
many more storms similar to the one
just over, will come within the next
two months. The country needs them
and will not complain.-Deadmocd

The Future Of Ingalls,.

1t is evident from the tone of Kan.
sas newspapers, that the mass Of the
people are anxious to retain, in some-
way, the services of the eminent states
man. 1t is conceded that he can be.
elected governor, congressman or to any
other place in the GIFT Of the republi-
can party. 1t is .he great desire Of
the politicians to provide q place for
Ingalls, until such a time as his re-elec.
ton to the senate is possible. The
strong sentiment in the west in favor
Of a liberal financial policy. is used as
an argument in favor Of the President
appointing a western man to succeed
Secretary Window. Plumb is the ma
in view, and it is thought that If he
should DO promoted, the governor
would then appoint Ingalls, to the va.
cant senatorsllip. Another plan is for
the President to appoint Robert Lin
coin, secretary of the treasury, and
then send ingalls, as Minister to Eng
land. This would please the farmers,
who have a high admiration of his
ability, and they still regard him as of
too much value to the nation to be al.
lowed to retire to private life. 1t is
certain that the great body Of Kansas
republicans, are loyal to Ingalls,, and
that no effort will be wanting to keep
him prominent in the state and nation.
