Never was there an election In
any city ormunicipality whore bet
ter feeling prevailed than at last
Tuesdays battle. Almost to a
man, opposing candidates were
warm personal friends. While
.some worked hard for victory, the
campaign was one Of intelligence.
No one seemed Inconvenience be-
cause Of the new form of bollot,
and although it was the first elect
ion under the present law, all voted
intelleigently, and the law meets
with the appreciation of the public.
Treating under this law is prohib-
tied, and the campaign was one OF
ideas and argument rather than an
appeal to stomachs and appetites
AS treating by candidates was not
allowable, there was but little ex-
citement, and no crowds gathered
to discuss the situation. Utter in.
dependence of all politics was the
rule, and men voted for then
friends.-ReUiew.

he necessary two-thirds:

While they may lack the two
thirds necessary to control the
party, it is realized that unless
there is change in Democratic
sentiment, especially in the South,
they will have more than half OF
the delegates and be in a position
to demand important concessions
which the so-called sound money
men may deem it impossible to
grant. Therein is the great dang
er in the next convention, accord
ing to the Administrations judg-
ment.
Ohio and Indiana are, no doubt,
for free silver, but the sentiment OF
these two States might be in
Huenced in the direction of a com
promise if Illinois should fail to
declare for the white metal.
Illinois will witness the first
great fight in the Democratic party
over free silver. All the promin-
ont Federal officials from that State
will take part in it, and from now
until June, when the State conven-
tion will be held, there will be
some lively campaigning there.

TIE TIDE rs RISING.

That the demand fea'yfree silver
is -gr5wlng is fact admitted. An
Eastern contemporary is amazed at
the growth of public sentiment in
favor of silver recommendation in
every state south and west of Pen
nsylvania. at is spreading like a
prairie afre. 1t is sweeping the
country like a cyclone" The only
hope is that it will spend itself be-
fore the election, and that by "the
circulation of sound money litera-
ture, suitable to the understanding
of the masses, the reaction in favor
of honest money will be irresista-
ble." The condition is now very
alarming. "Atgthe hotels and rest
aurants free silver is served for
breakfast, dinner and supper.
at is the chief topic in the wait
ing rooms of railway stations, on
the cars, on the streets, in the stores
and Offices; the pastors discuss
silver, the bankers ask you what
you think of it. tits amazing how
many business men, hitherto
straight for sound money, are now
on the fences or gone clean over
into the silver mining camp.
Whole cities and sections all right
ninety days ago are two thirds,
three fourths or four fifths fol free
silver. The thing is epidemic"

Less than half million dollars
in one-dollar gold coins have been
coined since 1873, and those have
been found impracticable and have
gone out of circulation, and by an
act of September 26th, 1890, THEN
further coinage is prohibited.
Between 1892 and 1910 there
was twice as many dollars worth Of
silver coined as there was gold
coined, and the mints were open to
the free and unlimited coinage OF
both metals, and both were full
legal tender in the payment of all
debts.

Experience has shown that in
the making of good or bad butter
the cost of the material is the same
and labor required to make it is
the same. When a fine price is
charged for the material and the
labor required to make the one
proves loss while the other pays
fair profit. In the making Of q
fine grade Of butter it is quite an
item to preserve the grain or tex
ture that is so often spoiled by
either over-churnIng or over-work-
ing. Anything that will add to
the appearance of butter when it is
ready for market increases its val
ne, while anything that detlacts
from the appearance reduces not
only the price but the probabilities
of sale. 1t is less labor to wash
out the buttermillk than to attempt
to work it out; while in the wash
ing out, if properly done, the grain
can be preserved perfectly. Ifthis
is done, however, the churn must
be stopped when the butter is in
the granular from or about the
size of grains of wheat. Water is
then poured in and drawn off; work
the churn a little each time until
the water runs off clear. Or il
brine sailing is to be followed put
in the brine and let stand 20 min
utes or a half hour One advant
age in by,i-..c sniting is that it helps
! materially to draw out the water
and buttermillI, while it lessons
the handling of the butter. Wher
dry sailing is followed the salt i;
sprinkled over the butter after il
is gathered in the churn, or if pre-
ferred it can be lifted out and plac
ed in a worker and the salt sprink
led over it and sufficient working
be given to incorporate with the
butter, and then the butter can b.
put in proper shape for market
Care must be taken not to worl
the butter any more than is neces
sary and to do the work in man
ner so as not to break the grain o
the butter. Properly manageC
it is less work to wash out the but
termilk and to salt with brin,
than to work out the buttermilh
and work in the dry salt, while tn,
butter in all cases makes the bes
appearance when the former plal
of management is followed.

If 37l IA grains of silver was
over an honest dollar it is to-day.
TO declare it debased and dishonest
is to impeach the wisdom honesty
and patrio tism Of the fathers. 1t
is to hold up as patterns OF moral
excellence the rascals who entered
into q conspiracy to degrade it.
TO dishonor the standard Of value
is as much an act Of treason as to
treat with contempt the nations
flag. To obliterate, deface and re-
move old landmarks which define
the boundaries Of individual or
public professions is a crime and
punishable as such. 1t is crime
which whitens into innocence com
pared with the crime of destroying
the standards of value.
