AGAIN we are informed by the
Republican and Democratic press
of the country that there in no ne
cessity for a new party; that the
Republicans will, time, accomplish
all the reforms demanded by the
people; or the Democrats will do
the same if they are allowed to
handle the reins little longer.
They say both parties will declare
for the free coinage of silver in
their 1895 platforms. Well, that
is about all they have been doing
for the past twenty-five years. At
any rate, the Republicans have had
eighteen years of chance and the
Democrats about seven years, and
still silver has not been remone-
tized. But both parties are going
to declare for free coinage again.
Hurrahl Now how about the
Democratic party, which is threat
ened to be ripped wide open by the
silver question: Will it, with G.
Cleveland at its head, declare even
for free coinage? Not much. A
faction of the Democrrtic party will,
no doubt, favor free coinage, but
it will have to get into the Silver
Party ranks to count. Republicans
who favor free coinage claim their
party, which will have a majority
in the present Congress, will settle
the financial question. How fool
ishl The financial question will
never be settled until this country
has free and unlimited coinage of
both silver and gold. If the Re-
publican Congress, soon to convene,
passes an out-and-out free coinage
bill it will be promptly vetoed by
the Chief Executive. Republicans
know this, and that will be the
only consideration upon which a
free coinage bill could pass, as the
Republicans in 1896 could then say
they had passed free coinage bill
but it was knocked out by Demo
cratic President. This, they figure,
would bring silver men into the
Republican party in 1896. But
there is one thing certain, no Re-
publican Congress will pass free
coinage bill unless it is certain it
will not become law. All these
things have been proven. Then
how useless is it to pin your faith
in free coinage to the old parties,
which have been tried for the past
twenty-five years, and always found
wanting. To the people of Nevada
the campaign of 1895 means a
fight for their homes and families.
Ii the combined forces of the old
parties win, it means another era
of depression, low prices, starvation
wages and hard times. Shake off
the ragged coat of party prejudice
and cast your lot with the party
which it friend of silver, and is
not afraid to say SO, the members
of which have kept every pledge
ever made in behalf of the white
metal. That is the great North
American Silver Party.

four inches long.
You shouldn't wear n cloth cap in

HOME HINTS AND HELPS.

-~StrawberTy Sirup: Take fresh
STRAW berries and ~inclnse in n coarse
bag. Press out the juice and To each
quart add n pint Of water and six
pounds white sugar. Dissolve by rails
ing 10 the boiling point and strain.
Hottie and cork while hot, then keep
IN IL cool place.-Western Rural.
Fish Salad: IL is generally imag-
ined that salmon is the only fish, ex-
eept shell fish, that is good in salad.
This Is II great mistake, for nearly all
kinds of cold fish can be used in this
way, ana cold turbot or cod is espe-
cially good. Take the fish, free from
MI skin and bone, and cut il into
square pieces; arrange a Said prettily
In Ii dish with the fish ON the top, and
over IL pour Il rich m%Hyonnnisc, or sal
al dressing. Garnish with slices Of
tomatoes, ~hard-boiled egg. and small
pieces of picked gherkins. A said Of
this kind Is very good, especially in
the ummer Leeds Mercury.
Boiled Salad Dressing: Take the
same quantity of mustard, sugar and
salt rs for m~ay0nnHise. Melt Il table
spoonful of butter and add To these in
gradients; add two eggs we'll beaten,
half a cup, or four ounces of vinegar
and half n pint Of milk. Pour all into
II granitcwarc double boiler, or IL large
bowl set in ii pot of boiling water, and
stir until it thiclCcns like boiled GUS
tard. Remove as soon ns IL grows
thick or il viii curdlc. If put in a
wide -mouthed bottle or sclf-scaling
jar. and kept covered, this dressing
will keep for Il fortnight or more

Potato Croqucttcs: Potato Gro
quettes make Il pretty dish to serve
with cold meats of any sort. They are
made from i!mc!y-maslicd potatoes
whipped with the yolka Of egg until
very light, then seasoned with pepper,
salt, a little onion juice. some finely
chopped parsley, and further moist
ened with Il little cream. When thor
Oughlv mixed. heat in a double boiler,
and when cool enough to handle form
into croquctleS, dip in e yolk and
cracker crumbs, and drop into boiling
lard. When brown, remove with a
skinner. place for Il moment on a
sheet of brown paper, and then remove
in a hot platter; garnish with parsley
ana serve.-Farm, Field and Firesidc.
Mock Duck: Three good-sized veal
outlets trimmed into neat shape. Have
ready a stuffing made of large cupful
of bread crumbs and two tablespoon
fuls of chopped pork, one small onion
chopped fine, d Tablespoonful of butter,
salt and pepper. Roll and tie up the
outlets, after having spread them with
the stuffing. Put them into a baking
pan with cold water to cover them;
bake about three-quarters of an hour,
covered closely. When nearly done
take half a cup of gravy, half a cup of
water, a tablespoonful of butter and
let them come to a boil. Put the
steaks on a hot dish, removing the
thread carefully so as not to injure the
shape of the roll. Pour on the gravy
and cover them, adding a teaspoonful
of catchup, 4 squeeze of lemon, a little
salt and pepper, the last thing before
taking up.-Chicago Record.

OF WAR.
A Century Ago These Unfortunates Were
BrutaIly Treated.

BrutaIIy Treated.
Little more than a century q pris-
oners of war were treated with sys-
tematic brutality. That gave John
Howard his first task. Providence
made him Il sufferer in his own per-
son., and nus pointed out the special
field in which his philanthropic inn
pulses were to find employment.
Towards pity was reused by the tales
of Indebtedness he heard from Lisbon
after the great earthquake. He took
passage on the Hanover brig, with the
intention simply of helping those I'M
fortunates. But the Hanover was
captured by a ~privateer, which carried
its prizes into Brest. Forty
hours the crew, with Howard,
lay in the pare and sitting
hold. A biscuit each was thrown to
them before the matches were closed,
but no drop of water did they receive.
On arrival at BreSt no One needed their
cries. They were thrust into a dun
geon underground, damp and filthy
beyond description, and several
hours passed before the goalers
brought food or drink. Opening the
door then, they actually pitched" a
leg of mutton among the throng, to be
scrambled for, and torn to pieces with
the teeth.
Six weeks Howard remained in this
fearful place with the sailorS-mcn of
peace, be it observed, following their
lawful business, but in time Of war.
Relieved then on parole. he applied
himself to ransom his fell ow-sufferers,
and afterward travelled to other forts
and stations where Englishmeu were
confined. 1t seems impossible that
any of them could have been more hor-
rible than Brest, but Howard found
such; at Oman, for example, where
thirty-SiX poor wretcheS were buried
in m day. Returning home, he in.
vestigated the English arrangements
for prisoners of war. aad found them
not less horrible. IL is well to rccol.
lect that when Howard appealed to the
royal commissioners for the sick and
wounded, sending in n detailed report.
without n moments delay orders were
issued to correct the abuse. Moreover,
the commissioners transmitted his
statement to France, and the French
government was not less prompt in
acting upon il. But for how many
generations had hat awful state of
things continued!-Loudon Standard
