Republicans Claim 1t Did Not Receive
Proper Consideration.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12-Whiie not max
ing the charge in so man. words, some of
the Republican senators intimate strongly
that the report made by the senate judic-
iary committee upon Senator Hill's bill for
the repeal Of the federal cleo, ion laws was
, secured by methods not entirely to their
liking. Senator Hoar, VI no Is a member
OF both tine committee on judiciary and
privileges and elections, cont ends that the
bill should have heen referred originally
to the first named con mittee.
Senator Piatt, who is also u member of
the Judiciary committee, complains that
The bill never had due confederation and
that the committee meeting which au-
thorized a favorable report upon the bill
was attended by only one of the five Re-
publican members of tue committee.
They claim that if these members had
been present when the bill was taken up
in committee the subject would have
isad fuller consideration and that there
would have been at least Il minority pro-
test against it, and AN effort at that time
TO have the bill referred to the committee
on elections. The Democratic members OF
the judiciary committee say that if the
Republican members of the committee
were no. present when the bill was under
consideration the fault WAS their own and
they consider this an invalid excuse for
criticisiny the action Of the committee.

The general use of citron will
make the following description of the
way in which it is preserved interest
ing to large number of readers. Lit
Is from the Florida Agricultural:
The fruit is first cut into halves and
placed in casks with fairly strong
solution of brine. In these casks 1t
is shipped to the manufacturers. The
fruit Is then separated from the rind
by women, who take out the fruit
from the center. The rind, after the
fruit is removed, is put into large
casks filed with fresh water, where 1t
is allowed to remain for three or fonr
days TO free it from salt. It is then
boiled in fresh water for two or three
hours, and when removed from the
cauldrons it should be perfectly free
of salt and sufficiently soft to readily
absorb the sugar from the syrup Ia
which it is now ready to be im
mersed The rind is then i'm
mersed in weak solution OF
sugar, this solution is gradually
strengthened as the power of absorb
ton in the fruit increases. 1t re-
quires eight days for the completion
Va tDlS tiOSCGcs buO IL oiS NA5
moved each day and the syrup made
stronger. After the fruit has ABB
sorbed all the sugar possible by this
process, it is boiled for an hour over
slow fire, in thick syrup of dens-
ity of over forty per cent. The fruit
is then spread over wire netting so
that the syrup will drain off. Then
comes the true candying process. 10
do this a quantity of crystalized
sugar is dissolved in little water
and in this the now dried peel taken
off the wire netting is immersed. In
this the fruit is again boiled for
short time over a slow fire. The
sugar, upon cooling, will form its
natural crystals upon the surface of
the fruit. This completes the oper-
alton, which, as will be seen, is an
expensive and tedious one, and &C
counts for the high price of the arti-
cle.-Ex.
