Quay's True Record
On the
Tariff and Honest Election Bills.

He was recorded absent on several oth-
occasions while the metal sched lle was
under consideration. and Yet no state in
the Union had So much interest in that
schedule as the state of Pennsylvania,
CONTINUOUS OPPOSITION.
Not only did Cameron aud Quay delay
the passage of the bill at the beginning
but they Kept up their opposition in that
respect almost To the very end.
ON September s, when Mr. Aldrich and
his committee found it necessary 10 have
evening sessions to facilitate the passage
of the bill. the committee was Immediately
antagonized by Cameron and Quay. Mr..
Quay was the only man in the Senate To
raise an objection 10 the evening session,
and ON his demand of the ayes and nays
were called on Mr. Aldrich's motion The
vote stood is in favor of the evening
sessions to Is against it, and among the l3
were Cameron and Quay. But both of
these senators antagonlzed the committee
nearly all the way through.
On the very first item in the bill, when
Mr. Mcpherson, Of New Jersey, moved to
reduce the duty on an item in the chemical
schedule in which Philadelphia has the
the largest interest, Cameron and Quay
were both absent and there being no quo
rum present the Senate had to adjourn.
But they were both present when the
question of reducing the duty on rice flour
was under discussion, because it was op-
posed By Mr. Butler, of South Carolina,
on the claim that it would compete with
TIE rice growth of his State. The item
was the same as passed by the Republicans
in the House, and as agreed upon by the
finance committee of the Senate but be-
cause Mr. Butler, of South Carolina, op-
posed it both Mr.. Cameron and Mr. Quay
voted against it. The vote stood 80 10 10
in favor of the finance committee, but Of
that small injnrity of ten, Pennsylvania
contributed two votes.
On the question of imposing duty on
hides, Cameron and Quay were again
against the committee. There were only
fourteen votes i'll favor of imposing duty
on hides, and two of these votes were
given by the state of Pennsylvania,
although the leather interests of Pennsyl-
vania exceed those of any other state.
On sugar and on other questions Came
ron and Quay opposed the committee.
When proposition was made to continue
the old tariff on sugar to July l, 1891, Mr..
Quay voted for it, although in that in
stance Cameron parted company with him
aud voted against 1t.
As soon as the Senate passed the tariff
BILL Mr.. Quay disappeared from the city,
and when the conference report came up
for a vote he Was recorded as absent.

QUAY AND QUORUM NOT PRESENT.


Not only were Mr.. Quay add Mr.. Cam
eron to considerable extent responsible
for the delay in taking up the bill, and no.
only was Mr.. Quay absent On one-half OF
the 1873 roll calls ON the measure, but on
four different days while the bill was
under consideration the Senate was
aud on every one of these days Mr.. Quay
was a set. D..t there were eight other
days WI, y .hc consideration of the bill
had tn be suspended because the vote
disclosed lack of a quorum, and on every
one of those votes Mr.. Quay was absent.
Thus there were fourteen times when the
bill was under consideration that busi-
ness had to be suspended in the Senate for
lack of quorum, and on every one OF the
occasions Mr. Quay was absent, and on
nearly all of them Mr.. Cameron also.
aSevcn times the sergeant-at-arms of the
Senate was sent out to arrest absent men,
bers, so as to compel the attendance oil a
quorum, and seven tunes did he return to
the Senate and inform that body that
Matthew Stanley Quay could not be found
in the city of Washington. On one of
these occasions the item of the bill regard
ing the tariff on cotton ties and hoop iron,
was under consideration and Mr.. Quay
was absenc and could not be found, and,
while the same item in the metal schedule
was under consideration on another
occasion, the same thing happened again.

THE ELECTION BILL.


But the claim is made for Mr. Quay that
he saved the tariff by killing the bill
providing for honest elections which had
been passed by the House in accordance
with the platform of the Republican Ma
tional convention. and of the platformes of
the State conventions in Pennsylvania for
many years There never was more un-
true claim put forth in behalf of any man.
1t will not be forgotten, because atten-
ton was repeatedly called to it in the col
umus of the Press during the time the
tariff bill was pending in the senate, that
the Democrats were threatening to talk on
the tariff bill for the purpose of defeating
the elections bill. The Republican sena
tors believed that the rules of the Senate
ought to be changed so as to provide for
closing debate on any measure when
majority should so decide. The Repub-
lican senators called caucus to consider
the matter. Neither Mr.. Quay nor Mr..
Cameron went tn that caucus, but both
gave out the impression that they we're
opposed to cha ge of the rules, as well as
to the passage of the bill providing for post
elections. The dispatches To the Press
from Washington, and to other news
papers at that time, bear repeated evidence
of the fact.
A short time later another caucus was
called, as it had been agreed at the pre-
vious one that if the Democrats showed a
disposition to talk unnecessarily long on
the tariff bill that the rules should be
changed Neither one of the Pennsyl-
vania senators attended the second caucus.
At that caucus a committee was appointed
to report to a future caucus, if found
necessary, u provision for changing the
rules.
Still another caucus was called to hear
the report of that committee and still
both the Pennsylvania senators absented
themselves, and refused to take any part
with their Republican associates to Sc
cure the passage Of both the election and
tariff bills. Instead of acting with the
Republican senators in this matter Mr.
Quay displayed his opposition by intro
ducing proposed amendment to the rules
for the express purpose of excluding the
consideration of the. bill providing for
honest elections.

THE latest Boston science is oekol-
ogy. The derivation of the term is
evident. 1t is from the Greek oikos,
meaning house, and the familiar
termination, logy, from logos. Hence
we have, then, household science.
Thus is housekeeping, with its various
departments, lifted among the learned
pursuits. 1t will rank hereafter with
philology, mineralogy, physiology,
and archaeology. We may now look
for the establishment of a chair of
oekology in Yale, with lectures on
such subjects as; History OF the
Flapjack, How to Make Bed, Early
Forms of the Tea Biscuit, Condensa-
tion as Applied to Fats, etc. Grad
yates Of the course will be known as
@. B., o. M. or o. D., bachelor, mas
ter or doctor of oekolo ~, as the case
may be. 1t is strongly suspected that
the new science is device of the old
maids of New England TO create a
matrimonial boom, if possible. The
status of feminine learning can be
kept at its present elevated Level, but
the degrees of the fair graduates, inr
stead of being matrimonial handi-
cap, will become recommendation.
1t will be said of learned Bostonian,
she is distinguished oekologist, and
the men, instead Of shuddering, as
they do at present, will flock eagerly
about her. Much has been done of
late to reconcile religionwith science.
If successful scheme has now been
Matched TO make our intellectual
women proficient in household duties,
a marked improvement in the relig-
ious status of men will be an imme-
date result.

A Remarkable Lighthouse,

One OF the most wonderful light.
houses in the world is that at Minot's
Ledge, near Boston. Its history has
been one of romance. The greater
part of its foundation is under water
at low tide. In 1847 skeleton light
house OF iron was erected there on
iron piles placed in holes drilled in
the rock. A furious hurricane burst
upon the coast in April, 1851, and
anxious watchers from the Cohasset
shore thought the structure had been
carried away. But, as the sun sank,
out shone the light across the storm.
tossed waters. AT 10 p. m. the light
was seen for the last time. Att one
hour after midnight the fog bell was
heard above the roaring of the break
ers. At daybreak the ocean was a
blank; the lighthouse was gone.
Knowing that no help could reach
them, the keepers had lighted their
lamp as q warning TO Others, and
their lives had gone out with IL
A granfe tower now occupies the
spot. So difficult was it to lay the
foundation i'm the surf that only
thirty hours work could be done dur.
Ing the first year, but the tower
stands to-day as enduring as the ledge
ftself--an isolated pile OF stone amid
the waves, by the force of'whichit Is
swayed like tree In the wind. Dur.
ing the long winter MONTHS all com'
munication with the land is shut of.
In summer the occasional visitor Is
hoisted into the lighthouse from his
boat by means Of chair, and from
time to time a skiff is lowered by pull
leys to convey one or another OF the
five keepers TO the shore. The life
tells on them frightfully. Several OF
them have been removed because
they have gone insane, and moro
than one has attempted suicide.

THEY teach the art of cooking in
Philadelphia public schools, and a
class of ten girls, under the direction
of teacher, cooked a dinner in sight
of the crowd of visitors at the food
exhibition in that city last week.
The dinner consisted of the following
dishes: Tomato soup, scalloped NUT
ton, tomato sauce, mashed potatoes,
stewed celery and floating island. 1t
took the girls fifty-seven minutes to
prepare the dinner, including the
time taken in cleaning up the dishes
and utensils. The food was then
passed around, and all who dared to
venture tasted it and pronounced ii
good. There are objections to max
ing the public schools vehicle for
all classes Of manual instruction, but
II girls cannot be taught how to cook
in their own homes, it is better that
they should learn in school than no
where. Few things connected with
daily life are Of such importance.

THE proposition to make the
gramme the unit Of weight for gold
coinage raises the question, what is
a gramme?" 1t is the one-thousandth
part of the French weight, which is
equal to 2.2046 avoirdupois pounds OF
1000 grains each. Therefore, it con-
tains l5.432 grains, and the 1922
grains of pure gold in the American
dollar are equal to l.505, or trifle
over one and a half grammes. And
this suggests point recently made to
the effect that it is not well to shorten
the spelling of the word to gram,
for the reason that the word thus
shortened is easily COMPOUNDED with
the word grain.

Cow-Peas for Fodder.

With the many different kinds of
fodder that are now recommended.
says the Germantown Telegraph, it
becomes an important matter to
select such as will be likely to give
the best results taking into account
the general purpose OF the feed. For
which reason when butter production
is the object, the thought should be
directed to quality in preference TO
quantity. 1t is often the case that
q smaller quantity of a superior
quality is much to be preferred to a
larger quantity Of inferior quality
Now regarding the results from using
COW peas as a fodder in butter pro-
duction, one who has been an extern
sive grower Of them says they give a
golden tint and particularly pleas
ant aroma and delightful after taste
to butter; that no June pasture-fed
cows will produce butter equal to that
OF cows fed cow-peas. The use Of
cow-pea meal is highly recommended,
and this is probably. the only way
that Northern farmers could test the
advantages to he derived, as the pea
itself can hardly be matured in a
northern climate If the feed is in
the market, it would be worthy of
trial

scorch instead of scaId.

It is quite common practice in
Europe co remove the hair from
slaughtered pigs by burning instead
of scalding. The heat has the same
effect either way, in destroying the
cpidermis OF. outer skin. and thus re-
moving the hair from the carcass.
The method is as follows: Some dry
straw is laid down and the pig is laid
upon it, more straw is thrown on the
carcass and fire is set to it all. All
that is required is to scorch the skin;
it must not be burned. II this is
done as soon as the animal is dead
and still warm, blister is raised on
the skin and the hair is loosened. II
is necessary to manage the fire and
turn the carcass so that the heat is
distributed evenly and not GOO much
of it is made. The carcass is then
scraped in the usual manner.

Treatment for a Halter Fuller.

Probably the best way to break a
horse of halter or bride pulling is to
hitch him by the tail, ]. e., by means
OF a rope about twenty feet long, put
under his tail like crupper, ana
then twisted two or three times and
each end run under girth, and then
passed through the nose-piece of the
halter or rings OF the bride and
hitched to tree or post. THIS plan
is recommended by Rockwell, and the
writer has seen 1t tried with satisfac-
tory results. A horse thus hitched,
in attempting to break loose. is con-
siderably surprised to find that the
force and hurt comes not on the head,
as he expected, ard as it is natural
for him to go from the hurt, he steps
forward and ceases to pull. -Balti-

Dairy stock.

The uncertainty OF deciding the
value of dairy stock by general APP
pcarance was recently demonstrated
by a breeder of high-class dairy cows
According to Hoard's Dairymen, his
herd had been carefully bred, and. in
a general way, he thought he was
we'll acquainted with the proportion
ate value OF each. He believed he
could pick out the best, and did So
pricing a number OF them to a dis
tant prospective purchaser. This
was before he had submitted the
milk OF any Of them to chemical
analysis which of late has become
so simple and cheap process as to be
within the reach of every dairyman.
The test was revelation to him; he
discovered that the milk of one of the
cows, priced among the very lowest
OF the lot was yielding over sixteen
pounds OF butter per week, while he
had not suspected her capable OF
the half OF it She was seven years
old, and he raised her from calf. A
result somewhat similar followed the
testing OF another cow. and .his was
also a surprise; and still another,
which was esteemed of far greater
value than sitner, and was thought
to be among the most profitable but.
ter makers in the herd, showed a ca.
paclty of trihe less than pound a
day. Luckily for the owner. the
buyer was tardy In accepting the cat.

If a President Of the United States
