FOR COOKING CEREALS.
Rules by Which the Best Results May b.
Obtained.

Rules by Which the Best Results May Be
Obtained.
The following rules for cooking
cereals will be found correct in the
quantity of liquid and the amount of
time. Water may be employed, but
many cereals are better for the adj
dition of a cup of milk to every three
cups of water. Some cereals, however,
are better cooked in water alone:
Pearl Wheat.-Four cups of water
half cup of wheat; an even teaspoonful
Of salt.
Pearl Barley.-The same.
Coarse Hominy or Samp.-Six cups of
water and a tablespoonful of salt to
two cups of hcminy, soaked over night.
Add water as fast as it boils away, keep
ing the hominy an inch under water for
nine hours while it is cooking. Let it
cock dry for another hour. Two cups
of dry hominy make three quarts when
properly cooked.
Fine Hominy.-Six cups of water and
one teaspoonful of salt to one scant
cup of fine hominy. Cook steadily for
one hour. 1t should be thin enough to
pour when taken off the stove.
Coarse Oatmeal or Groats.-This is
the entire kernel of the oats. 1t is used
more in Ireland than in Scotland, and is
sometimes called Irish oatmeal. To
four cups of water add one cup Of
''groats" and a teaspoonful of salt.
Cook in double boiler for six hours,
add cup of hot milk and cook one hour
longer.
Fine Oatmeal or Scotch Meal.-To one
cup of milk and four OF water add one
cup of oatmeal and a teaspoonful Of
salt. Cook for two hours in a double
boiler or earthen pipkin.
Crushed Wheat.-Cook exactly the
same way as oatmeal.
Rice.-SiX cups of water, one of rice
and one teaspoonful OF salt. Cook rap
Idly IL minutes; then drain and steam
for ten minutes longer.
Indian sMeal Mush.-Gradually pour
six cups of boiling water on one cup Of
Indian meal. Stir to prevent lunps
forming. Add teaspoonful OF salt and
cook slowly for two hours.
Farina.--Use six cups of milk end
water in equal parts for one cup of

All these preparations except rice and
large honiny are best mixed to paste

ADMINISTRATION INTERFERENCE

Our dispatches yesterday, in giving
the debate in the senate on Senator
PETERS resolution providing for an
inquiry into recent bond issues of the
government. made intensely interest
ing reading. Especially was this
the case with Senator Vests speech,
in which he charged the administra-
ton with unwarranted interference
with political conventions.
He plainly showed how severely
strict in theory and sometimes in
practice was the course OF the present
administration against the "pernicious
political activity" of men in the SER
vice of the government; and yet how
it could engage, or permit the engage
ment. of whole droves of men to be-
come perniciously active in politics
when it suited the purpose of the ad-
ministration to have them so, not
withstanding the fact that they were
in the employ Of the government
Mr.. Vest referred to the Nebraska
convention as a case in point, and
said .ofice-holders. postmasters, col
lectors of internal revenue, their lungs
filled with the air which came from

senator spoke of cabinet officers speak

FIAT MONEY AND PROTECTION.

Senator Tillman's demand for the
issue of billion dollars of greenbacks
is altogether too modest Make it a
billion for every qualified voter, pro-
hibit the use of gold or silver coin ex-
cept for bracelet bangles, abolish
poverty and debt by joint resolution
of congress and pass a law to make
good health contagious. Then the
Populist millennium will swoop right
down upon the country and become a
permanent tenant" says the New York
Mail and Express.
We are rather impressed with this
scheme of the Mail and Express, it
being but an enlargement of the great
scheme of protection. Protection
undertakes by legislative enactment to
give a man the opportunity to make a
billion dollars where he could not
of nature, declaring that if they stand
in the way Of prosperity, where the
law has gone forth that it shall be. so
much the worse for the laws of ma
ture
1t is said that protection is to en-
courage industries, particularly infant
industries. They are to be encouraged
that prosperity may come, as though
it depended upon some legislative die
tum rather than upon unceasing work
and labor. Money is the evidence of
this prosperity and Tillman's scheme
is well calculated to furnish this evil
dence.
Is not fiat prosperity (and protec-
ton is nothing more) of the same ma
ture as fiat money? Any one can see
the absurdity of fiat money in the
comments above quoted on Tillman's
billion dollar scheme, but if he would
take the trouble to analyse the theory
Of protection he will find it quite as
fallacious.
The Mail and Express is as rabidly
hostile to free silver as TO this Tillman
scheme, and the goldbug papers do not
hesitate to speak of it as fiat money.
That is because their ears are tickled
with phrases the import of which they
do not appreciate or ignore. Then,
again, it is a fashion, and the east is
swayed far more by fashion than by
facts.

Although there are a number of can
didates seeking the presidential nomi-
nation at the hands of the Republican
party, still the demand of the mass of
the party seems to be for Mckinley as
the candidate. If such shall prove to
be the case and he is nominated at st.
Louis will such nomination be con-
strued as a demand for the restoration
of McKinleyism?
If Major Mckinley represents any
thing in American politics it is the
highest possible protection. The highest
tariff law this country has ever had
bore his name During The first year
or two of its existence the country en-
joyed a considerable measure of pros
perity. Those who had favored it
claimed for it all the credit for this
prosperity. Notwithstanding this the
people repudiated the party that had
passed this law and demanded its re-
peal. The boosted prosperity began to
wane and continued to wane so long as
that law remained upon the statute
book If the theory of protection is
correct, if there were genuine efficacy
in the Mckinley law, the prosperity
should have continued. 1t is not
sufficient answer to say that the
threat of Democratic change of the
law prevented it from having that
beneficient effect it otherwise would
have had. Protection should give pros
perity in spite of all threats.
Do the American people want res
toration of McKinleyism? We do not
pretend to say, and no one can know
until the restoration IS attempted.
Should Mckinley be nominated at St
Louis and elected the following No
vember, together with Republican
congress, and the Mckinley bill is re-
enacted. we have no hesitation in say
ing THAI he and his party will be re-
pudiated at the polls two years follow
ing the election. The country may not
want the Wilson-Gorman bill but it
will never accept the repudiated Nc
Kinley bill in place of it.

ing about the country. and ADDED that
he had mot heard whisper Of criti-
cism from his excellency.''
"Mr. Vest says the dispatches,
next turned his attention to the
recent Michigan Democratic conven-
ton, reading from an article written
by one of the delegates who had par
ticipated in that shameful scene
The article detailed the action of
'backsliders' and traitors, who had
been instructed for silver and voted
against it. The senator said he had
many letters from men of high stand
ing. detailing the circumstances of the
Michigan convention as a shame and
disgrace to American public life
After further denunciation of the
Influences brought to bear on conven-
tons Mr.. Vest closed with a startling
declaration as to his own position. /
am delegate to the national conven-
ton said he. an unwilling delegate
chosen by my people, and 1 serve no
tice now that If that convention at
Chicago is to be made up of office
holders to stif1e and prevent the ex-
preston of the will of the people, then
it is no Democratic convention to me.
The Democratic party is the party of
honorable expression, not of federal
patronage"
These are serious accusations. The
state of things they describe is seri-
Gus and burdened with danger to the
republic. Men Will not brook such pro-
ceedings On the part of the admins
tration.
If the people of Michigan-that is,
the Democrats of Michigan--have been
betrayed as above charged; if, as is
claimed, large majority of the peo-
pie of Michigan are for the free coin
age of silver. and their delegates have
betrayed them and appointed single
gold standard men to represent them,
when they should have chosen silver
men, the Democrats of Michigan
should assemble at once, repudiate
that convention and hold another,
which would send silver men to the
national convention. Silver Democrats
of Michigan owe this to themselves;
they owe it to the national Democra-
cy; they owe it to the cause of sound
money-gold and silver with free
coinage for BOTH

These statistics show very heavy
casualties, to say the least. Do they
show state of war? That is the i'm
portant question. The people of this
country think they do. and they would
have the administration at Washing
ton act in accordance with that belief
and recognize the belligerency of the
Cubans.
According to the above statistics the
Spanish have suffered as severely as
the Cubans, Notwithstanding the fact
that they have spent money and blood
without stint Are they any nearer
conquering the island than they were

Not a bit If few expeditions in aid
OF the Cubars can only be successful
IN landing arms and the munitions of

independence without any aid or rec
ognition whatever from this govern
ment. If they do it will be a fine
commentary on this government, pos
ing as the friend of the oppressed and
the champion of the rights of man
kind throughout the western hemi-

Gold dropped out of circulation in 1852
and silver dollars had not been in cir

600 of the silver dollars had been
coined from the establishment of the
mint in 1892 down to 1873. The silverite
editor referred to never had silver
dollar in his pocket until after the
Bland law went into operation, in 1878,
nor did Bland or Stewart" says the
st. Louis Democrat. We always
had an impression that greenbacks and
national bank notes were merely pro-
misses to pay honest money, which
means gold and silver The Globe
Democrat is evidently more or less an
advocate of greenbackism and fiat
money.

According to the Logan Journal
President j. F. Smith, during his re-
cent visit to Logan, said: "All the
newspapers, Mormon as well as Cen
tile, were id liars" Now our own
preference in this matter of calling
people liars is the way in which the
Psalmist put it: Il said in my haste,
Az men are liars" He qualities the
statement by admitting he said it in
his haste. Then he makes no invidious
distinction, declaring that all men are
liars. That tells the whole story. If
all men are liars. it lends no force to
the statement to say they are ID
liars. That shows anger and passion,
which are unchristian-like qualities.

JUDGE POWERS INTERVIEW.

Judge Powers has returned from his
trip to the east and reference to an
interview with him published else
where in this impression, will convince
our readers that the Democratic leader
comes back loaded with hope for the
great cause of silver, and hope for the
cause of Democracy, which two things
from every quarter, no less than in the
judges remarks, are fast coming to be
recognized as identical.
1t is an interesting story that the
judge tells about conditions in the east.
And that part which deals with un-
warranted executive interference in
Michigan and Kentucky, makes ones
cheeks flush with indignation as he
reads.
Well, July will soon be here, not long
to wait for the great fight in the Chi
caSo convention: and it is joy to
know that Utah's Democratic repre-
sentatives will be there to do noble
service for the cause of bimetallism-
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer and gold the financial policy that
shall bring abundant and permanent
prosperity to great country.
The latter part of Judge Powers in
terview relative to the people of Utah
being competent to settle their own
local contentious, without outside in
terference, or d detailing of our troubles
abroad, and the expressed belief that
we shall yet be able to find common
ground on which to stand, we commend
most heartily, and to the statement
and the sentiment underlying it, we
say, amen.
1t is an interesting and instructive
talk throughout this interview with the
Judge We thank him for bringing us
words OF good cheer, and bid him well
come home.
