Cottonwood report. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1893-1901, 1894-04-20

In the presence. of the civil
court and before the open ears of
sixty millions of Americans, the
attorney for Col. Breckenridge
said, in an attempt to palliate
the crime of his client, that I'VE
all have been guilty of the same
kind OF life.p Such statement
cannot pass unnoticed by the
pulpit and press Of the country.
1t is too misleading and danger
GUS coming as it does from one
in high position. If there is ev-
en- a semblance of truth in the
statement, the very foundations
of our government are on the
verge of of self disintegration.
Nothing can hasten the over
throw of our civil government
more rapidly than to permit a
| profligate life among the leading
| spirits of the land to pass unre-
/ buked. That the statement in
! the main is false, is evidently
/ true, and as such ought to be
flung back into the face OF the
speaker as a shameful and sland-
erous libel upon the lives Of
public men.

ira good about the resolution Of
fered ly Senator Wolcott of Col
orado, requesting the President
to open negotiations with Next
co looking to the coinage Of
standard Mexican dollars by
United States minis, when two
Senators usually SO wide apart
on financial questions as Dubois,
of Idaho, and Lodge, Of Massa-
chusetts, follow each other in
| praising it. The resolution viii
probably be disposed OF in a few
days possibly this week, There
is no question abont the coinage
Of Mexican silver dollars for the
China trade being a good thing
for US, but il is not quite 90 clear
that it-would be SO regarded in
the same light by Mexico.
The silver men are determin-
ed to get some legislation at this
session. They do not care much
about the veto of the Bland bill,
as they never were enthusiastic
for it, merely supporting it as in
the line of what they desired.
They were very much encourag
ed, however, over the vote.in the
House on the question OF pass
ing the bill over the veto. Only
one-fourth OF the democrats in
the House voted to sustain the
veto, which makes it apparent
how easy it will be to pass any
silver measure that may be
agreed upon. Mr.. Bland expects
ia have his free coinage bill re-
ported to the House as soon as
the appropriation bills are dis
posed of. Representative Meyer,
| of Louisiana, has introduced a
bill for the coinage of the seign-
forage, coupled with authority
to Issue bonds, in accordance
with the suggestion contained in
Presidedt Cleveland's veto mes
sage, but it is not probable that
the bill will ever even be report :
ed to the House from the COM
mittee. Bonds are not popular
in the House. The silver ques
ton is not likely to come up in
The Senate as seperate bill un-
tiHafter the tariff bill has been
disclosed Of, and the Lord only
knows when that will be, but it
is now thought to be certain
>Shat at least one of the free coin
age, amendments to the tariff
bill, of which notice has been
given, will be pushed to vote.
Senator Quay is author of one Of
these and Senator Allen of an
other, but that of the latter is
complicated by a provision for a
reduction of duties in the tariff
bill.
The House has not averaged
one day a week when business
could be transacted for some
time, owing to the inability of
the democrats to keep a voting
quorum on hand. Yet, there
are 40 democrats in excess of a
quorum in the House.

From our regular correspondent,
Washington Letter.
WAsHISaroN. April IS, 1894.

What is Senator Hills game?
that is the popular conundrum
in Washington today, There
are numerous answers and only
time can tell which, If any, Of
them are correct Some say that
he is ambitious Of filling the pos
ition in the democratic party oc-
cupied by the late Sam Randall,
belifving that to be a good route

" is but voicing the sentiments
81 the state he represents in OPP
pohing the income tax and other
features Of the tariff bill, and
stil others that he is just trying
to embarrass the administration
democrats. Whatever his OBJ
ject there is no denying that he
has succeeded by his speech in
making a situation already I'M
certain decidedly more SO and in
bewildering the leaders of his
party as well as other people.
Some language used by sena-
tor Brice in a published inter
view is exciting much interest
in Congress and many regard
the deduction he draws as sig
nifcant. He said: ~ look for a
big silver vote to be cast this
fall. It will be large even in
New York. People look to the
government to give them good
times. There are fifteen thous-
and millions of indebtedness up
on farms and city lots and other
property, half Of this sum in
corporation indebtedness and on
ly one metal instead Of two to
pay in. Therefore, | say, silver
will be the alternative of the dis
appointed and indebted. We
shall find that fiscal legislation
will supercede the tariff The
last sentence is certainly signiti-
cant, coming from Mr.. Brice.
The democrats Of the House
having failed to reach any agree
ment as to the repeal Of the tax
on state bank currency have de-
nidAd- 60 hold a caucus tomorrow
night for the purpose of arriving
at some conclusion. If party
caucuses were run as they used

FoRGERIES AND LIES.
Efforts of the Democrats to Bring Re-
 proaSh Upon McRlnleyism.


 A tremendous effort is being made by editors of democratic newspapers to have the republican leaders at Washington repudiate McKinleyism, to say that neither the old Mckinley law nor anything like it will ever again be advocated and enacted by the republican party.
 An interview with Mir. Reed, or what was represented to be an inter- view, was recently published in dem ocratic newspapers In this spurious connection Mir. Reed was said to have declared that McKinleyism was played out, MT. Reed promptly stamped this interview as fraudulent. John Sher- man was next brought out by demo- cratic editors as being moderate protectionist," and as being opposed to McKinleyism. Senator Sherman immediately denounced this attempt to place him in . false position before the American people. The other day democratic newspaper in New York printed what was said to be letter from Secretary Apsley, of the repub. lican congressional committee, assert ing that the recent elections proved that the republicans had practically repudiated the Mckinley law. The same newspaper published an alleged interview with Chairman BabcoclS, of the same committee, to the same gen. eral effect Now Apsley declares that he never wrote the letter, and BabcoclS pronounces the interview to be spur ious. A lie, however, circles the earth, while truth is getting ready to follow it. The interviews, all fraudulent, with sherman, Reed and Babcock, and the forged letter of Aspley's, are go- ing the rounds of the democratic press, always ahead, of course, of the denials which have been sent after them.
 The concern of the democrats is pos itively touching. However, they are anxious without reason. The repub. lican party is strong and solid for pro. teetion, and McKinleyism is only an other name for this living and grow. ing and permanently-established prin. ciple.
 That gallant tar of Maine, Capt. Boutelle, member of congress from the Fourth district, doesn't go any too far when he dec lares that "the next republican national convention will adopt platform that will be more strongly in favor of a protective tariff than any platform that has ever been adopted, and that it will favor tariff that will make up the difference be. tween the wages in Europe and the cost of production there, and the high. est possible wages that can exist in this country and the cost of produc. tion here"
 The democrats arc simply wasting their time in trying by forgeries and lies to get republicans out of the pro- lection procession. They are in it and in it to stay.-Cleveland Leader.

tomatoes, with the four green leaves at the top.
 Those of rough wood with large cher, ries sprinkled over the handle are sold, but are not bit smart in tone.
 The preferable ones are carved in long slabs that are tipped with silver or twisted in circle at the end that the owner may slip her hand in to hold it better.
 A style that fits the woman in the rough tailor gown is built similarly to mans cane, having a broad claw of wood or burnt ivory tipped with silver placed at right angles to the handle proper.
 Burnt ivory is very fashionable still, especially if mounted with narrow flli- gree silver bands, and some devices show an elf's face carved into the ivory, surmounted by a cap of silver. Very dressy umbrellas have handles of plain mother of pearl, fashioned column like; others have large amethyst or emerald laid into the metal at the end. But women who dress modishly don't go in for any of these styles as much as they do for the rough or scented wood, twisted and turned and capped charily with silver.
 A word as to the care of your um- brella. Never put it ferrule down. ward when wet. If you can't open it and allow it to dry at its best, which is the correct method, then place it han dle downward, so there is no chance for the drippings to remain in the tip and the silk. Again, never go out with your umbrella unrolled when not in use. It is world of saving if the cover is always kept on it, to say noth- ing of the smarter appearance it makes. -Jocelyn Davis, in Chicago Record.

WOMAN AND HOME.
PUM PklN PIE.

Somethlng About tho Propcr Way Of Cook.
 Ing Pumpkin and Squash.
 Pumpkin for pic to be properly cooked must be slowly steamed. Peel It, remove the seeds, cut it in pieces and put it in large iron pot, with about n quart of boiling water to ono good- sized pumpkin. Cover it close. Let 1t boil hard for about five or ten min utes, and then set it back where it will steam slowly for about six hours. At the end of this time nearly all the water will be absorbed, and the pump kin will be sweet and tender Press it piece by piece through vegetable press. By this means the pumpkin should be well drained and thoroughly strained, hardly more moist than a we'll mashed potato. Take four cups of this strained pumpkin, add four cups of rich milk, a tcaspoonful of salt, two of ginger, one of nutmeg and one of mace, small cup of sugar and four or five eggs according to their size. Some housckeepers prefer to bring the milk to boiling point before they use it, and this undoubtedly gives richer pie. Pour the pumpkin thus pre- pared into deep pie plates that have been lined with pastry. A properly made pumpkin pie is at least an inch thick. Sec that at least half the plates are square tins, which give the de- lightful corner pieces of old times.
 X squash pie is much more easily made and this may be the reason why it has taken the place of pumpkin in some localities. For among vegetables the fittcst does not survive, but that which is the easiest handled and gives the least trouble. To mako a squash pie use five cups of strained and cooked squash to one quart of boiling milk Add a grated nutmeg, a heaping tea spoonful of salt, the juice of half a lemon, d tablespoonful of butter and five or six eggs, according to size. Bake She pie for from forty-five to fifty min utes in a rapid stove oven. In the old fashioned brick oven they were baked about one hour.-N. Y. Tribune.

Womau,s Most Attractive Are.

The most attractive age of woman'a life is the period when she is still young enough to be pretty and old enough to be sympathetic, writes Oc- tave Thanet in Ladies' Home Jour- nal. For as grace is woman's great est beauty so sympathy is her greatest charm. A graceful and sympathetic woman Is bound to be attractive to the end of her days. If she adds taste in dress and some sense to her equip ment for pleasing and does not grow deaf see no reason why she should not be fascinating in her old age. Since the question, however, concerns itself only with the most attractive age of woman I must give the answer in my first sentence. What that age as measured by years may be ought to vary witL the individual.

Fried Johnny Cakes Are Fine.

Did you ever eat fried "Johnny cakes?" They are perfectly delicious, and are, think, indigenous to Missouri. I never ate them anywhere else, at any rate. Take cupful of sour milk, one cupful of sweet milk, two eggs and enough soda to sweeten the mess. To this add in cornmeal and flour till you can make firm round balls of the dough by working it in your hands make them small, using one-third flour, the rest meal--and then drop them in hot lard and fry as you would dough- nuts. Eat them when hot, with butter, or make a gravy as for cream toast, then cut the doughuts open and cover with the gravy.-N. Y. World.

Neglected Women Deserve Neglect.

It is her own fault if a woman is un- loved and neglected. This is harsh statement to make, but is fact. Mor- tai man is a weakling who can no more resist kindness than rose can resist the sun. It is weak, helpless woman's duty to make herself attractive and pretty in the very teeth ofsdefeat, and to make herself agreeable to every one in the very face of Encouragement. Call it hypocrisy, tact, finesse, or by any other term, but she must turn in the edges, and make allies instead of antagonists of the people about her. Spotless neatness, becoming feminine attire, truth, kindness, cheerfulness, love, and the loyalty that restraints her from speaking i'll of her neighbors will make any woman lovely, even though she lacks beauty.

 A splash-back to washstand saves many an ugly stain upon the wall paper. Novelty in shape is now sought, and one of the latest ideas represents a huge fan of plaited cretonne or "art" muslin. If the latter is used, it is so thin that requires lining. The better plan is to cut the fan shape out in American cloth, or even stout brown paper, and then to take long strip of the muslin having lace sewn (plainly not fulp along the top edge and to plait that over the paper, tacking it here and there to keep it in place.

THE SHORT SESSION.
What the Closing Days Of the Flity-Third
 Congress Will Develop.

Congress Will Develop.
 The concluding session of the most monumental legislative failure in the history of the country, the Fifty-third congress, will last until March 4, when the aggregation will go out of exist ence unwept and unregretted.
 During the few days of life remain ing to it little will be accomplished by the present congress, except the passage of the regular appropriation bills. But, while nothing will be done, vast amount of talk is expected. The various sections of the democratic party, which have been blaming each other for the result of the election, will attempt to prove their charges The anti-Cleveland faction will con- duct lively hunt for cuckoos, the short session being an open season for that interesting fowl; the silver men will tauut and twit the monometallists; the moderate protectionists will fall upon and rend the free traders; the opponents of the income tax will write the epitaphs of the income taxers. In a word, q genuine democratic ghost dance will be performed at Washing ton, presenting an amusing and an in- structive spectacle to the people. It will be an informal, go-as-you-please affair-expensive, but worth the price. It will be the duty of the republican minority to point out to the majority as gently as possible the causes of its defeat, and to exhort it to better things. It will also be the privilege of the republicans to forward any worthy Legislation that may, perchance, make its appearance.
 Unless present indications fail and there is decided change in the tenn. per of the members of the ma jority in congress, the democrats will be too busy calling each other names and pulling each others hair to pass any more dangerous bills. The country at large, therefore, may enjoy the com ing exhibition at it's ease.-AIbany Journal

FEARFUL TRAGEDY.
A Missouri Mailman Murders His Wife and Children and Kills Himself.


 BETHANY, Mo, Dec. 12.-At his farm house on the Burlington railroad, 8 miles northeast of this city, David Sprigg at noon yesterday murdered his wife and two children, mortally wounded two step-children and then blew his own head off. It was a butchery most horrible. No cause is known for the terrible tragedy. The alarm was given in incoherent fashion by step-daughter who escaped She says that her step-father first attempted to cut his own throat, but simply made serious gash. He then seized little son, tied him and killed him with butcher knife. Then he attacked his wife. She fled into the yard. The hus- band pursued her and terrific strug- gle ensued. Sprigg literally hacked the unfortunate woman to pieces. Her hands and face were cut into shreds. Sprigg then returned to the house and slashed among his children like maniac. Another of his own children he simply butchered. Two of his step children he cut and stabbed so badly that they cannot live.
 The one step-daughter who escaped ran to neighbours. Soon crowd sur rounded Sprigg's house. He stood at the front door, shotgun in hand, and defed his neighbors to take him. The countrymen stood off frightened. Finally the man entered his house and closed the door, Suddenly two shots were heard. There was rush for the house and Sprigg's body was found ly- ing dead on the floor, his head almost blown off.
 Sprigg had been married to the wife he killed about two years. Both had been married before, she to man named Onstatt, who became insane three years ago and committed suicide in the asylum at St. Joseph. Sprigg is supposed to have been insane also His step-daughter, who escaped, says that he went Monday to Ridgeway, miles away, to see physician about a severe headache he had,

After Sleeping Car Companies.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Representa- tive Fielder, of New Jersey, yesterday introduced in the house bill affecting railroads using sleeping and parlor cars. Companies using sleeping and parlor cars are required to provide a safe for the protection and care of all valuable property carried by passen- gers. It is made unlawful to charge more than one-half cent per mile for lower berths and one-third of cent for upper berths in such sleeping cars. For parlor, boudoir or drawing room cars the charge per seat is not to ba greater than one-half cent per mile.
