FIRMNESS OF SPEECH.
Nothing is Gained by the Use of In
temperate Language.

| So much is to be gained by moderation
| hysterical passion, that it is worth
while for everyone to try to learn how
| to control the tongue and the pen so as
to obtain the greatest amount of infiu-
ence over others. Strong language is
never needed to enforce the opinion of
a man who is firm in his faith, clear in
expression and logical in his methods.
II is usually the resort Of bullies, of
those who cannot reason, or of men who
are guided by their prejudices rather
than by logical deductions from facts.
The objection to strong or Incorporate
language is that it gives rise, unneces-
sarily, TO contentious opposition. A rad
ical in religion or politics takes such ex-
treme views and urges them 50 offens-
lively that he prOvokes quarrelS, yet
never makes a convert. Another man,
just as firm in his convictions, more
moderate in giving expression to them,
and more considerate of the opinions of
other people, can say substantially the
same things without irritating those
who differ with him. He does not pro-
woke a quarrel. but invites a calm dis
least of winning people over to his
views, whereas the radical drives them
off at once Moreover, the moderate
man may remain firm because he says
nothing that he cannot maintain, where
as the radical is necessarily vacillating
He goes to such extremes that he is
obliged to retract and loses the respect
of his hearers because he is not con-
sistent or firm. Firmness, it is to be
observed, is consistent Cnly with intel
ligent, honest thought. The ignorant
may be unyielding, but in their case
obstinacy takes the place of firmness.
One who has Well-settled principles. a
mind free from prejudice and a dispo-
sition to think before speaking, can be
firm in expression AMI unyielding in his
adherence to opinions once expressed
without being obstinate. Sucn a man
wins the respect not merely of his fol-
lowers or of those who agree with him.
but also of his opponents, and is much
more influential than the radical who
y; ;esentS extreme views in strong lam
guage. Frequently the teachers or lead
ers of men are obliged to combat some

industries, the employment of capital,
and the work for American workingmen

the Cleveland debt These are the fore
| most issues which demand immediate
attention, and the people are satisfied
that the Republican party under the
| safe guidance of Hon. William McKin-
! ley will remedy the evils.
THE RIGHT ROAD.
Fresno Republicans: Other roads may
lead to prosperity, but protection is the
| nearest route that has been tried. All
the old signboards along that route
point to prosperity, and the people
know that it leads there.
A PARTY OF FVADS
Ukiah Press: The Democratic party
is pref -eminently the party of passing
fads and economic heresies. It's rec
ord shows that any temporary craze
will be taken advantage of, and that
any project, however visionary, will be
injected into it's platform providing its
leaders ina gine that it may thus be
inducted into power. A comprehensive
idea of these apparent truths may be
obtained by its present fervor toward
silver. The present administration and
the leading organs of the party are in
favor of a single gold standard, but
the depression existing in the country
at present, and which is directly trace
able to Clevelands maladministration
and the enactment of the Wilson bill,
produced such a revulsion in public SEN
timent that up to two months ago there
was scarcely a Democrat in the United
States who imag gined that the party of
Jefferson had the slightest chance in
the coming Presidential election. All
at once, however, it dawned upon West
ern leaders of the party that by re-
versing the precedent of a hundred
years and declaring for silver voters
might be diverted from the plain issue
of the campaign and induced to again
trust the Democracy with the reins of
government. The attempt to divert the
people from the issues now before them
will not succeed. 1t is too palpably ap-
parent.
THE FRUIT CROP.
Stockton Independent: The fruit crop
is short, not only in California. but
throughout the country, and California
growers should not hasten to sell the
green product if prices are not satis-
factory. Those who dried their fruit
last year and two years ago got good
returns, and the prospects are even bet
ter this year.
NOT ENTHUSIASTIC.
Tulare Register: The British pa
pers do not view the nomination Of Nc
Kinley with that enthusiastic favor
which characterizes sentiment in this
country. We are sorry, for he always
likes to see people accept the inevita-
bic with equanimity. Perhaps the

GOING TOO FAR.
Nevada Herald: The Salt Lake "Tri-
bune." after bitter TRADE against the
gold bugs, says:
what those men need is war, war
with some power that would make a
shaking up among them. We presume
the thing would go through the same
process that the old war did. Some
man like Fernando Wood would move
TO make greater New York a free city,
and it would oppose the war until it
found that out of the misfortunes of the
country it was making money; then it
would grow patriotic, and five years
efter the war would be claiming that
really it did all the fighting. A war;
however, would be a beautiful thing for
the rest of the country. 1t would re-
monetize silver in less than four months,
and it would take bold man to even
by stealth undertake to demonetize it
again.
Hold on, Tribune" That is going
too far. A great newspaper should not
advocate a civil war because we happen
sounds anarchiStic.
SOLID AND RELIABLE.
Stockton independent: While McKin-
ley is not famed for brilliancy he is
famed for his solidity and reliability.
Those are the qualities most needed in a
President. He is what the people de-
nand and expect, a man of deep adher-
ence to duty; a friend of American pro-
gress and prosperity, and an earnest ad-

A STANDING INVITATION.
Women suffering from any form of fe-
male weakness are invited to promptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are received,
opened, read and answered by women
only. A woman can freely talk of her
private illness to woman; thus has
been established the eternal confidence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women
of America which has never been
broken. Out of the vast volume of ex-
perience which she has to draw from
it is more than possible that she has
gained the very knowledge that will

advice has relieved thousands. Surely,

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by all infamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy

by catarrh, which is nothing but an in

From 1850 to 1896 the history is
given of the conflict waged by those
who have been benefited by falls in
general prices. Here it is shown
how it occurred that gold was first
Gemonetized in some countries and
thea silver was the metal thown
out in order to make money scarce
and therefore dear; and how it oc-
Cured that James G. Blaine was
defeated for the presidency; how
General Hancock was defeated;
how David B. Hill failed to secure
the Democratic nomination in 1892,
and how it was given to Grover
Cleveland. The plots and counter
plots which here appear hold the
reader more closely than do many
Of the noted works of fiction, for
here they were actual occurrence,
and the laws enacted have affected
us vitality.
The summary of Facts Proved is
one of the clearest and most con-
vincing series of statements on the
money question which we have ever
read, and constitutes an indictment
against the Gold Standard and the
Moneyed Interests so strong that
we do not see how any person who
has had it brought to his attention
can longer hesitate to join in the
movement for the restoration of
silver.

NOODLE SOUP.-laKe the femn-
ants of turkey or chicken, includ-
ing the bones, and cover with cold
water. Cook for three hours, set
it away to cool, after having skim
med ont all the meat and bones.
Next day skim off every particle of
fat, put over the fire and add
vegetables to suit taste and con-
venience, a grated onion among
them, and a bunch of sweet herbs.
Bring to boil, add pint of can
ned tomatoes, and the light pastry
cut into tiny ball; bring to a boil
and serve. Any meat stock may
be used instead of that from the
chicken or turkey. Veal is per-
haps preferable.
LEMON CATsUP.-Grate the rind
of one dozen large lemons into a
small porcelain kettle, and add the
juice of the lemons, two tablespoon
fuls each of salt, grated horseradish
and sugar, four tablespoonfuls of
white mustard seed, one tablespoon
full each of white pepper and
tumeric, teaspoonful each Of cloves
and mace, and a suspicion of cay
enne. Cover the kettle and let
stand in a cool place over night.
In the morning cook over a slow
fire forty five minutes, then again
cover and put it where you will be
reminded to stir it each day for ten
days. Then strain through a fine
sieve and put into small bottles.
HYGDOM PICKLE.-One peck of
green tomatoes, three heads OF
cabbage, one and half dozen green
and one and a half dozen red
peppers, one dozen onions. Cut
all fine, salt them, let them remain
one night in salt; in the morning
drain the salt water off. Put all
i'll the kettle with three pounds of
brown sugar, vinegar enough to
cover them well; let it stew two or
three hours before taking it off the
fire; put in one teacup of horse
radish grated, one tablespoonful of
ground black pepper, one ounce of
ground mustard, one ounce of
mustard seed, three ounces of celery
seed, one ounce of cloves; then let
it stew a little while longer.
PEACH SHORT CAKE.-Make a
good short cake after any favorite
recipe. 1t is good plan to roll
into two thin layers and butter
them well before baking, and bake
one on top of the other. This does
away with the splitting of the cake.
Cut peaches in thin slices (using
canned ones when the fresh peaches
are out of the market. Sweeten
well and spread thickly between
the cakes. a layer of the peaches
may be put on top if desired, and
the whole should be covered with
whipped cream, or a
meringue made of white of eggs and
powdered sugar. Serve in wedge
shaped sections, and pour over each
piece good supply Of whipped I
cream. !
