In preparing iced tea for luncheon or
dinner be careful that you do not have
it too strong. When tea is cold its
strength is not so noticeable as when
warm, and one is prone to drink too
much of it in warm weather. The very
best way to prepare iced tea is to have
the tea moderate in strength and serve
with lemons and sugar a la Russo.
Two slices of lemon will be sufficient
to flavor a glass of tea For very nerv-
Gus people it is best to dispense with
this pleasant beverage altogether and
to drink lemonade in it's stead. This
latter is one of the most cooling and
healthful of drinks, and can not be too
strongly recommended. 1t is a valua-
BILE aid to digestion, and prevents acid
ity of the stomach.-Albany Journal

Indications That the Republicans Win
Change the Tariff.
1t will not be necessary in the cam
paign of the next year for the demo-
Gratis to take the initiative in precipi-
tating the tariff question into politics.
1t has been plain enough for some
months past that the republicans will
be compelled to assume that position,
no matter how clearly their more sa-
gacious leaders may see the danger in
volved In such course. The danger is
less, in that direction, than in cultivat-
ing divisions and expressions of opin-
ion on coinage lines.
Again, there are elements in the re-
publican party, powerful in its coun-
ellis and liberal in its contributions
toward its success, which will insist
upon a positive declaration in favor of
an approach toward the prohibitory
rates of the old Mckinley law. This
is the opinion we have entertained and
expressed for some time, and we find
it abundantly confirmed in the action
of the American protective tariff
league, as we find that action reported
in the Springfield Mass Republican.
The league is collecting statistics for
use in the campaign of next year.
While the circulars are supposed to be
for the sole purpose of ascertaining
the truth as to the varying industrial
conditions since 1890. it is significant
that they are all addressed to 1.-The
friends of labor and protection"
Inquiries SO addressed can hardly re-
suit in accurate and intelligent infor-
nation concerning any question 1t is
undoubtedly a campaign document
which is sought, and the seeking re-
veals clearly the intention of the re-
publicans to make another fight on
tariff lines
Well, let them.-St Louis Republic.

returns than the money devoted to the
roads The League of American Wheel
men has been gathering statistics on
the question for a number of years
One case that points a moral as well
as can be desired is that of the village
of Moorstown. n. j. For a number of
years real estate there was not market
able at any price. The country was
in wretched condition. Finally the
town supervisors got together and
voted bonds to the extent of forty
thousand dollars for road building,
enjoying a steady demand and the
country is being supported by garden
truck that can only be transported to
market by teams
Realizing that the matter of road i'm
provement could best be brought to
the attention of the farmer by an ar
gument of dollars and cents, the league
has compiled great deal of literature
on the direct cost of building roads
and the direct returns that such an
outlay will produce. Taking the state
of Illinois, it is found there has been
built during the past ten years 955
miles of improved roadway. This inn
provement has been confined to thirty
counties. In forty-five other counties
the roads are what are termed mud
roads. Basing calculations on the last
ten years it is found the thirty improved
counties have been assessed for the
building and care of the highways a
total of 80, 934, 346. In the mud districts
there has been spent SO, 696, s4s or near
" two-thirds as much, and they are in
no better condition than they were ten
years ago.
A comparison of values shows that
the land in the improved counties has
an average value of S21.2s an acre. while
that in the mud district is valued at
SIC 81 an acre. The total assessment on
behalf of roads has been 81. 55 for each
SI00 valuation in the improved coun-
ties, while those districts that have
spent their money in piling the mud
up in the center of the roads couple
of times year have saved 43 cents on
each $780, an amount that has in all
likelihood been spent many times over
in horses and repairs to wagons and
harness made necessary by the awful
condition of the roads during several
months of the year. The average cost
of constructing gravel roads is various
" estimated at from 81 900 to 81 500 per
mile. according to the locality. Dirt
roads require two-thirds of that sum

M'kINLE., AND QUAY.
PROBABILITIES of n Coalition Between Il
Boss and the Napoleon.

Probabilities of n Coalition Between the
Boss and the Napoleon.
1t is reported from Philadelphia that
Senator Quay favors the nomination
OF Gov. Mckinley for president next
year. but Is mot so far committed to
MIN as to make an aggressive fight for
him." We have little doubt that this
correctly represents the attitude of
Mr.. Quay. 1t is now getting near the
time when men who are in politics for
business must be prepared to talk
fairly definitely. 1t is still too early
to make final declaration of choice,
because there are still many chances
OF not choosing the winning man. and
that is almost the worst blunder possI-
BILE in the profession. Still worse than
this, however, and positively the very
worst. is failure to have an available
candidate in hand at the proper time
as basis of negotiations. The late
Mr.. Blaine remarked of the Mckinley
bill that there was no market in it,"
and the same fault exists in the policy
of a trader in delegates who has not.
in due time, a candidate Ito hold
them with until the necessary negoti-
ations can be completed Then they
may be the nucleus of enough addi-
tons to carry the day, or they may be
transferred" p. t. at fair profit
In the case of poor Mr.. Mckinley
the latter is what is very sure to take
place. He is only too we'll adapted to
Quay's purposes He is suited to the
conditions of the Pennsylvania market.
being very ardent protectionist, and
quite ready-as most Pennsylvania
protectionists are-stoutly to defend
protection of any kind or degree at all
times and at all hazards. Probably no
other name would enable Mr.. Quay to
rally so many voters at the primaries
at SO small an expenditure of money.
This is a great advantage, for though
Quay is not fond of small campaign
funds. he is not averse to moderate dis
bursements with corresponding net
balance which need not be accounted
for. We note, by the way, that he has
abandoned the notion of mandamus
to compel his predecessor, the chair
man of the state committee, to open
his books and show how the money
mad been spent 1t required great
nerve" even to threaten such a pro-
cedure, for no one more than he would
be endangered by such a precedent
Quay. having got the handling of the
money without any risk of accounting,
is, as we have said, very willing 20 take
up a candidate who will be popular,
but not too popular. He is the last
man to believe that Mr.. Mckinley can
be nominated or elected next year.
He knows the weakness as well as the
value of the Ohio Napoleon. and he
will use him to the best advantage, but
he will not stake much on him. To
whom he will transfer his delegates
remains to be determined on the prin-
ciples with which he is so intimately
and dishonorably identiied.-N. Y.

DOMESTIC CONCERNS.

Value of Onions: Few people
dream of the many virtues of tho
onion. Lung and liver complaints are
greatly benefited, often cured by a
free consumption of onions, either
cooked or raw. Colds yield to them
like magic. Taken at night, all of
fence is lost by morning, and the good
affected will compensate for the trif-
ling annoyance. An extract drawn
from onions by boiling down to a strip
and taken as a medicine is effective

-Huckleberry Pudding: For exam
pie, worthily fills an honored place in
the family cookbook. This dainty
should be made as follows: Take one
pint of molasses, one teaspoonful each

soda, dissolved in cupful of warm wa
ter. Add one quart of huckleberries,

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

-Protectionists will please note the
fact that six American locomotives
have just been shipped to Chilli to re-
place locomotives that were made in
England. -Birmingham (AIa-) News.

son having withdrawn from the presi-

1t was reported that after Sena-
tor Quay's triumph in Pennsylvania he
received congratulatory dispatches
from Harrison, Reed and Mckinley.
He says that he received no such dis
patch from Harrison. The denial as to
one is an admission as to the two
others.-Chicago Chronicle.
1t is all right for the tin plate
manufacturers to be rushed with Or
ders, but common decency suggests
that they ought not to say anything
about it until Mckinley knows
whether he can get the republican
presidential nomination.-N. Y. Mer-
curry.
The new tariff produced about
three million eight hundred thousand
dollars more revenue from customs in
August, 1895, than the Mckinley bill
afforded in August, 1894. Republican
papers that are fond of comparing this
wear with last should make note of
this.-Louisville Courier-Journal.
During the first six months of
the current wear two hundred and one
new textile factories were built in this
country. and there are still others in
process of erection. This does Eot
look as if there was any overw hel ming
demand for a return to the Mckinley
prohibitive tariff.-Dayton (O.l Times.
The republicans are carrying
Kentucky again this year. The demo-
Gratis have been permitting them to do
this for three hundred and sixty-four

ing unanimity and roll up majorities

HARRISON Will BE HURT.
Probable Eject Of Quay's Victory ON tn
Hat Boom.


Hat Boom.
Quay's victory in Pennsylvania is
likely to crowd ex-President Harrison
to one side in the race for the repub-
lican presidential nomination. 1t as
sures to him a hostile Pennsylvania
delegation. Quay, as chairman of the
republican national committee in 1888,
claimed the credit of Harrison's cleo
ton. He expected to be recognized by
the president as his presidential
creator. Harrison attributed his sue
cess instead to Almighty God and the
free suffrages (un bought by Quay's
big corruption fund.- of the American
people. Hence Quay failed of what
was considered his just reward. He
was turned down" by Harrison at the
start, and has not forgotten it
Quay's chief antagonists in the Penn
sylvania fight were Harrison men.

of him was Mr. Harrison's postmaster

ton where New York and Pennsyl-

We judge by the way the Mckinley
organs in Ohio have been patting Quay
ON the back and calling him one of the
greatest republicans and moral re-
formers of the age that the Ohio gov
ernor may be his candidate If so Mr..
