FREE COAL AND PLAIN FACTS.

The following snusion to free coal by
the Washington Post strikes a respon-
sive chord in the hearts of the people of
this section:
The Wilson tariff bill booms on it's
trium phant way through the House.
The country is having a carnival of
party eloquence on either side, an
abundance of campaign material to be
sailed down for summer use, and lots OF
epigram and repartee that will pass and
be forgotten like the bubbles that ex
plode Upon the frog ponds callous
breast The real question is as to the
measures fate when it comes before the
Senate, whore neither whip nor spur,
neither gag nor threat will rule.
Evidence accumulates that free coal
and free sugar and free iron ore will
not be as strong in the Senate as thew
seem now in the House. Free coal espe
cially appears to be losing vigor every
day. The proposition does not bear in
spection. 1t shods its beauty and its
melody under careful criticism. Free
coal sounds well-almost as well as free
beer, or free lunch. Like many other
things, it has charming sound. 1t
suggests economy, which is the road to
wealth. 1t tickles the unthinking ear.
1t is good cry for the multitude.
But the responsible mon in Congress
who have freedom OF action and there.
lore are accountable to their constitu
encies and to the country, who are
allowed to express their views and who
therefore are held to some obligation of
consistency-these men cannot be lured
away by catchwords and shibboletbs
ana with them, in consequence, the
musical cry OF free coal bears no magic
on its wings. They want to know
whether free coal means anything more
than resounding metaphor, whether
free coal will be cheap, whether it will
add to the common prosperity, whether
it will multiply the sources of industry,
open new fields Of employment, stimu-
late traffic and set in motion the now
silent wheels OF commerce.
They want to know whether it will
do all this or whether it will mock the
idle laboring man with low prices far
beyond his reach, and haunt his mi sery
with bargains which he cannot afford
to seize. They are asking themselves
whether cheap coal obtained at the
cost OF PROSTATE industries and starv.
Ing millions is too OK pensive for reason
able human beings. They know that
nothing is cheap enough for the man
who is penniless, and they are consider.
ing that it might be better to have
higher prices II by the same token the
people were furnished with the inca Ms
OF paying them.
Altogether, in the cold M thematical
light OF fact, this fairy gift of free coal
is not as beautiful as it seemed in the
melodious strains OF oratory. 1t begins
to be question whether the country
oan afford it,

DISPATCHES say there is no longer any opposition in Congress to the admission Of Utah as State. The main cause of delay is doubt as to the true political complexion of that curious commonwealth and the figure which two Senators from there would cut during the present administration If there is any chance to do the Democracy out there any good 1t will be in passing the admission bill before the sum , mer adjournment. The convention should be elected next fall to meet in sixty days, the popular vote to be taken in 1895 at the same time the State officers and Legislature are. New Senators could thus enter upon their duties March 1. 1896.

THERE has been sort of crisis in
 the Senate tariff situation. The motion of Teller to lay the whole
 bill on the table, which resulted in 2
 vote of ten negative majority, and
 thereby assured the country of the
 passage of the caucus bill through that body, was followed by a labored speech of German, notable prinei- pally for the statement that the in- come Lax provision would not kill if Again Senator Teller, with Dubois and other Republicans, have de. clared that though they oppose the measure they will not sanction tactics. It has been the in- variable custom in the Senate for the opposition to bill, when it sees Us defeat, to consent t0 vote after . given time for discussion. and whist Hill may rave with Alarich and inc est, the end of the whole tiresome business may be confidently ex- ,ected within the next thirty days f our legislators in Congress could ealize the impatience of the people III the. subject, not another week rould go by without this consum- 1 aation.

DESPITE the opposition of the East, the income tax proposition presents solid front. But there is one thought in connection With this measure of internal revenue which has perhaps never occurred to the barons, viz that it is by such direct attacks as these upon their pockets that they can be made to realize the importance of electing representa- tives to Congress with different views of economy than those they have beeu sending The income tax is in this sense indeed a war meas ue-war against extravaganza, protiigacy, trusts and protection.

Raised Doughnuts.

Two cups of sweet milk, cup of sugar, half cup of butter creamed with the sug ar, cup of homemade yeast, 2 eggs we'll beaten. Add flour and mold into a stiff dough. Let it rise until very light; then roll it out to a sheet about half an inch thick, cut out your cakes and let them stand on foured plates in a warm place and rise again until very light. Fry in hot fat, shake off the grease and roll ill pulverized sugar while hot.
 A simple way to attain a similar end is to take, in the morning of your baking day, about a pint of your light bread dough (of course this presupposes that your bread was set over night) and work into it beaten egg, half cup of sugar, piece of butter the size of walnut and little nutmeg or cinnamon. Roll out thin, cut and let them rise; then fry and treat as above.
