1t is true silver is still legal
tender, and a debtor may pay his
obligations to any amount in silver,
silver certificates, greenback or bank
notes; but all paper money is REDEEM
able in silver, and silver is measured,
not by the ancient original silver
dollar, us it ought to be, but in gold
for the government, under the
Bland Allison act, coined the silver
which it bought for 81 into 81 80,
thereby forcing the people to pay in
labor, or the prod ucts of their labor,
81 80 for every silver dollar they get.
Free silver coinage, ON a perfect
equality with gold coinage, as it
existed for the eighty three years
prior to 1873. is the only remedy for
this injustice. 1t would indeed
practically take off 80 per cent from
all funded debts; but this would only
be taking off what was wronfully put
on, and making debts payable at 100
cents to the dollar instead of 100
cents to the dollar as now. Another
effect of it would be to advance the
price of labor, products and prop
erty by measuring them in silver
instead of in dear gold-Southerm

Useful Recipes.

EGG PLANT IN BATTER.-Prepare
the eggplant. cut into slices about a
quarter of an inch thick, sprinkle with
salt aud pepper. Make batter as you
would for fried cucumbers-i. e., beat
an egg until light, adj to it half pint
of milk, one half teaspoonful of salt. a
dash Of pepper, cuptul and half OF
-four, and beat until smooth. Dip the
egg plant in the batter and fry the
same as for fried egg plant.
FRIEO EGG PLANT Pare an egg
plant, cut in slices a sixteenth OF an
inch thick. Beat an egg lightly, add
to it tablespoonful of hot water. Dip
each slice first into the egg, then into
bread crumbs. Put three tablespoon
fuls of lard or dripping into frying
pan; when hot cover the bottom with
slices OF egg plant. Fry brown on one
side, then turn and fry brown on the
other; few slices only should be cook.
ed at time. As the fat is consumed
add more. waiting each time for it to
reheat before putting in the egg plant.
Drain the egg plant on brown paper,
and serve very hot with tomato catsup.
AMBER SoUP.-Take the liquor in
which two chickens have been stewed
for fricasse, in this boil two pounds
of soup beef and an onion. Strain the
soup and let it stand over night. In
the morning remove the cake Of fat, and
mix with the jelly the beaten whites
and shells of two eggs. Return to the

tip around SO that it will touch all the
sides Of the pan. Have ready half
dozen eggs broken 10 dish. sailed and
peppered, turn them without beating)
into the hot butter; stir them briskly
for about five minutes or until they are
mixed. Be careful not to cook them
too hard.
To Cook A Young CHICKEN
Scalding water is too hot for young
chickens. Put in pint of cold water
to half gallon of hot When scalded,
pick the chicken clean, taking off all
the pin feathers. Put it in pan of
cold water and wash off what feathers
remain; then hold it over the flames
and scorch off the hairs. When ready
to fry, put in the pan two spoonfuls Of
lard and one spoonful of butter. When
hot, have the chicken cut up and well
drained; salt and pepper, and roll the
pieces in -four, and brown them we'll on

The Household,
Fashions.

Parasols are absolute masses Of lace,
ruffles and ribbons.
Young ladies are wearing mannish
looking suspenders, either Of ribbon,
velvet or the dress material. They are
more conspicuous than becoming.
Corselets are becoming more and
more elaborate. They are now made
with ribbon ruchings, bows, loops,
straps. braces and other additions which
threaten to destroy their beauty.
Very long gloves are again to be
worn. The newest fad seems to be
sleeves whi,h scarcely extend below
the elbow, and for these the long wristed
glove is imperative.
The gypsy bonnet of half century
ago is to be again in fashion. To shape
it is not unlike round tin plate, with
a dent 10 the middle to serve as
crown.
No matter how elaborate skirt NAV
be three very narrow ruffies of black
ribbon are fancied as foot trimmings
These scarcely show and yet protect
the gown well. Black is invariably
used, even though there should not be
hint of the dark color in the frock
itself.
A favorite decoration for each side
of the closing OF black or dark blue
cloth coat consists of loops and ends of
broad, black braid so carefully sewed
on the material that they look as if they
were woven on the stuff.
Tatting is again coming into fashion.
This is kind of fancy work that is ex.
tremely difficult to acquire from printed
directions, and the woman who desires
to understand it will do we'll to 60 to
some old timer who can give the correct
manipulation. Extremely pretty stars,
rosettes, corners and borders can be
made of tatting. This fashion of trim
ming is rather difficult to keep in order
on account Of the little picot edges,
which have an irresistible desire to
curl up when wet; but if the tatting is
made slightly damp with very thin
starch water and pulled by the fingers
until perfectly dry and given the correct
shape, it will be almost, if not quite, as
pretty as when made.
SKIRTS AND POCKETS.
Persistent discussion and common
sense have restored the short walking
skirt to its rightful place. Every skirt
intended distinctively for street wear
carefully clears the ground. Even the
pocket, that indispensable adjunct to g
woman's comfort. is reinstated, and is
snugly hidden under buttoned lapels at
each side.
For housewear, the trained fourreau
skirt is still preferred, and rightly, for
its gracefulness cannot be gainsaid; and
ingenuity is taxed to devise pretty
trimmings for the effects, pufings, frills
Of the material or ribbon, are used
The waists which accompany these
skirts are irregular in design, differing
little from those worn during the sum-
mer. Marguerite gowns, in princess
style, with the skirt looped over q
petticoat of lighter shade, are notice
ably popular for house wear. The
neck is cut out square and guimpe
inserted. A gown in this style Of
Gobe'in blue over a lighter shade, with
braidings Of silver, is especially artistic
and cannot fail to be becoming to q
blonde.

gained in the present contest So
long as we have to contend with q
party that persistensly ignores living
issues, exists only for spoilv, and
bases its campaigns upon slander,
pesonsl abuse and vilifcation Of all
opponents without regard to party,
and upon appeals to prejudice rather
than to reason, so long will all the in
terests Of the people be disregarded.
Il will be a sufficient victory for one
campaign TO make an effectual end Of
these conditions, and thereby render
q fair and candid consideration Of
living issues possible; and, in our
Judgment, the masses Of the people,
without regard to party, are fully
and unslterably determined that this
shall be the result Of the contest in
1892.
No other party has ever stopped to
so vile methods in political cam
psigns. No other party has ever re-
lied upon deliberate forgery, perjury,
vilifcation Of this character Of oppo-
nents, and malicious misrepresenta-
tions their views and principles. These
things must be rebuked. Ridicule and
Slander and misrepresentation must
be superseded by calm and dispassion-
ate discussion Of the vital questions
which so intimately concern the in-
terests Of the people, and this can
never be hoped for so long as the
Republican party exists. as a possible
factor in the politics Of the state.
Good men Of all parties realize this
fact, and have fully determined that
present conditions must be changed,
and they are going TO change them
this year. The grand old party Of
Lincoln and Sumner and Stevens and
Che patriots of 1860 ceased to exist
years ago, and in its stead appeared
a plutocratiC party, through which
the rights and liberties Of the people
have been ruthlessly sacrificed to the
greed Of foreign and domestic COR
porations and syndicstes. It's reign
in Kansas will end with the present
year. When it ends we do not
expect that the Peoples party will be
left in undisputed possession Of the
field. Indeed such a result would be
far from desirable. But we expect
that in the place Of the naughty, ar
rogant, unscrupulous, corrupt and in
tolerant party that has so long DOM
mated the politics of the state, we
will be confronted by party that
can Justly boast Of some degree Of
fairness and decency. To this end
let all good people, regardless Of

THE OuTLOOK IN KANSAS.


poria Republican of March II, pre-
tends to survey the political situation
in Kansas and forecast the result OF
the approaching contest. 1t quotes
from the Kansas City Journal as fol-
lows:
To one standing at the gateway looking over
the field 1t Is very apparent that never before In
the history OF Kansas ReDubllcanism have the
prospects for success been brighter than they
are now. Not that the certainty OF large and
cumbersome majority is so protuberant, but the
spirit manifested everywhere by Republicans
from Cherokee county to Cheyenne Is OF the old
fashioned and indOmitable sort that conquers.
Heretofore. until very recently, Republican VIC
tories In Kansas have come as the sunshine
comes as the winds blow, as the grass grows
That was the way 1t came in the year Of the 49,,
OOO Practical politics was an art unknown, and
when Il was called for In 1890 1t was not found.
Last year was a year Of training and OF the gen.
Grafton Of Republican enthusiasm; this year the
fruit Of the seed planted In the light OF other
moons will be tasted.
One who can stand "at the gateway
looking over the field" at this time
and see even a remote prospect of any
such result as that here pictured must
possess a very vivid imagination; and
he who, in the face of existing condi-
tions, will declare that ''never before
in the history of Kansas Republican
ism have the prospects of success
been brighter than they are now"
must likewise possess an extremely
elastic conscience. For years past a
nomination by the Republican party
in Kansas has been equivalent to an
election. Is there a rational man in |
the state who would SO consider it at
this time?
The Journal says, until recently |
Republican victories have come as
the sun shines, as the wind blows"
etc. Yes, they have come as the hot
winds blow over our western prairies,
and as the burning sun shines upon
the psrched earth, blasting the hopes
and prospects Of the people.
The Republican, pretending to por-
tray the situation, continues:
Kansas Republicans are indeed hopeful. In
this particular the party presents widely DIFF
ferent condition from that which obtained two |
years ago. Then all was uncertainty, confusion,
dlvislon-almOSt paralysis. Now there Is order,
harmony, resolution and enthusiasm.
A Republican who can be hopeful
under existing circumstances must
possess a much larger development
of hope than of judgment.
Talk about harmony in the party! |
The ordinations and recriminstions
of the young crowd and Of the
old crowd, the discontinue re-
sulting from the sudden resur-
rection of Ingalls, and the pros
pect Of having to carry him in another
campaign, the squsbble over prohibi-
ton, and the "split" on the silver
question, all indicate 10y contrsst)
show good and how pleasant it is for
brethren to dwell together in unity"
The Republican party has no more
prospect of success in Kansas this
year than it has of becoming master
of the destinies of the universe. All
this vain boasting is simply the
whistle of the coward in passing the
