CATSUP.
How 1t Was Discovered and Got Its
Name.

How 1t Was Discovered and Got Its
Name.
1.-THE discovery of catsup and how the
oddsounding name came to be applied to
that common and important table garnit-
ure was, curiously enough, due to a blum
der by preserve-maker many years ago,
when the canning industry in it's
swaddling cothes'' This statement was
made by veteran member of the Western
Gamers and Packers Association, at the
fremont yesterday, to the Chicago Times.
1T is only another illustration" he said,
chow mistakes sometimes lead to important
discoveries. In connection with this story
l may add that when was boy tomatoes
from which catsup is made, or Adam 8
apples, as they are were known in those
days-were considered rank poison. They
were looked upon only as beautiful and
valuable additions to the flower garden as
an ornament No one dreamed what
delicious article of food they WERE
I'm the East many years ago a we'll
known preserve maker, now dead, while
boiling a huge caldron full of toma toes
for preserves one day accidently put the
wrong spices and other ingredients into the
boiling mass of vegetables. He did not
discover his error until sometime after
ward, when, tasting the mixture to ascer-
tain whether it. had been boiled to the
proper consistency, he saw that something
was wrong. Tomato preserves never tasted
his mouth, and made a very wry face as
the bitter-sweet and now familiar pungent
flavor of the mixture made itself felt.
Showing the cauldron off the fire to pre-
vent a possible = scorsching, he made a
hurried investigation. quickly discovered
that he had used articles strange to pre-
serves, and the result was that steaming
but not unpleasaptly favored mess before
''Well,'' said he. with rueful expression
on his face, speaking to an attendant, the
cats up meaning by that slang term that
the tomatoes had been spoiled.
1.-THE whole mess was about to be thrown
out, but, fortunately for catsup-loving man.

The Cause of Bimetallism Has Been
Considerably Advanced

The Cause of Bimetal2fsm Has Been
Considerably Advanced.
NEW YORK, March "a special dis
patch to the world from London says.
Henry Chaplin, the president of the board
of agriculture in Lord Salisbury's last
cabinet, and more than likely to be in the
next conservative ministry, was asked if
the English bimetallists think their cause
has been advanced by the action of par
lament.
1.-The fact that Mr.. Everett's motion was
carried unanimously" he answered, while
a motion to the same effect was defeated
by a majority of 80 last year, denotes a
marked advance in public opinion, and it
is upon public opinion in England that the
solution of the problem will depend. The
recent action of the German and British
governments amounts to an emphatic recog-
milton of the grave evils which arise from
the present relations of the two metals
Moreover, the house of commons has ex-
pressed its serious apprehension at the
growing character of these evils.
In view of these considerations, there
can hardly be a doubt that the possibility
of the solution of the currency problem has
been advanced by the recent action of the
German and British parliaments.''

To advertisers.

THE REPRESENTATIVE, which
was established less than two
years ago, has become the leading
reform paper of this country and
is easily preferred among mem.
bers CT the Peoples party. In
thousands of families it is the
only paper taken. Our subscribers
read the advertisements with
kindly feeling toward those who
have placed them in their fayorite
paper, and letters to this office
tell of splendid results which ad-
vertisers have obtained-thus
pointing the way for others who
are really anxious to reach buyers.
Very many Populists are farm
ers. and almost to man they are
thinking men of principle and
substance, whose families buy the
most goods in this part Of the
country. They polled more than
$4,000 votes in Minnesota at the
last election and over SIX THOUs-
AND are regular paying subscrib-
ers of the REPRESENTATIVE.
Our subscription list is growing,
and to forestall objections that
may be urged to a very probab BILE
increase Of advertising rates, we
urgently solicit. advertisers to con-
tract at once for space they may
use to their very great advantage.

In Favor of Senator Ringdals Course
Defending Judge Ives and Oppos-
Ing Issue of National Bonds.
The Fosston Alliance, in it's meeting the
I'd day Of March, 1895, adopted the follow
ing resolutions
Resolved, That we heartily sympathize
with the course taken by the Hon. Senator
p. M. Ringdal in his opposition to the APP
pointment of chaplain in the senate, as it
is in the first place an unnecessary ex-
pense and secondly contrary to the con-
stitution of the state. In these times we
recommend to the legislators, and congress-
men, too, to privately make their own
prayers, morning and evening" and not
burden the taxpayers with paying for what
they as Christians ought to do themselves.
Second, Be it further resolved That we
indorse the course of the Hon. District
Judge Frank Ives in his efforts to stamp
out gambling, prostitution and lawlessness
in the Cities and establish law and order
in it's stead.
Further be it resolved, That we condemn
the practice of issuing governments bonds
under the pretense Of STRENGTHENING the
credit of the country and thereby merg
ing the nation deeper and deeper into the
quagmire Of interest-bearing debt from
which the people Of this country will never
emerge.
Third. We appeal to the patriotism, to
the love of country and to posterty of
every true citizen of the United States to
open their eyes and look the danger square
in the face, rise in their might, dethrone
these pretenders, who so treacherously be-
tray the welfare of this fair land to the
conspiring money manager of the new and
the old world.

Why Men Do Not Dance.

There is much complaint that men do
not make themselves agreeable as they
might at dancing parties and it is no un-
usual sight to find them standing about the
halls and doorways at entertainments
while young women sit partnerless through
the entire evening.
A lady of the writer's acquaintance gave
a party not long since, at which there was
a large contingent of men who did not
dance and she inquired of several with
whom she was familiar the reason. The re-
Spouse was that SO many changes were
constantly being introduced in the various
dances that, being business men and much
occupied they had no time to keep familiar
with them, and. therefore, felt a hesitation
in dancing with young ladies who were
thoroughly up in all the newest FORMS A
remedy for incipient aawkwardness and
hestancy on this score would seem to be
to ground boys thoroughly in the various
dancing steps.-Harper's Bazar
