! Long after all the fruits in the garden
are safely put away for winter, there
gre. still many vegetables that have
escaped the. frost that make, excellent
pickles, both sweet apd sour. The green
tomatoes and the green muskmelons are
excellent for this purpose. The ripened
cucumber in seer and yellow age, usu-
ally supposed to be valueless for any
thing but seed, makes a most delicious
chowchow and o good sweet pickle.
Hard wild apples, in most parts of our
country the food of the cattle in. the
field, make one of the most delicious
picked and. spiced fruits we, have.
Sliced with the skins and coree, they
make an excellent jelly. Make this jelly
just like a crab apple Jelly. To spice ap-
pies, remove the stems and flowers.
Prick them. For four pounds of apples,
add two pounds of sugar, one ounce of
cassia buds, one ounce of whole cloves
and ono stick. of cinnamon, with pint
of vinegar. Put the apples over in q
rorcelain-lined kettle. Cover them
closely and let them cook until they
are tender enough to be pierced with Il
broom splint, but not till they break
into pieces.
Barberries are fit for preserving un-
by frost. Like the persimmon of the
south, then they acquire a peculiar
softness of flavor. Gather the barber
ries carefully. Unless they are very
roor in quality they can be gathered s.,
carefully from the bush that they Will

Ter Tie SAFE Of West Virginia. He will
be three days in the State and will speak
Q, Harper's Ferry, Martinsburg, Cum6er-
land. Keyser, Grafton, Clarksburg, Park

Huntington. He will be preceded or fol-
lowed, by such eminent speakers as Hon.
Benton McMillin, OF Tennessee, Hon.
JEFF Chandler, of California, and Hon.
Sdlson Hutchins, Of Washington City.
The details of the programme will be
found elsewhere. All railroads will give
reduced rates.
Il has been the main trouble of the
committee in charge of the tour of the
Democratic candidate to arrange to ac-
commodate the immense crowds that
will turn out to see ana hear Mr.. Bryan.
Every Democrat and most of the Repub-
leans will want to listen to The advocate
Of The peoples cause in this campaign,
the man who by the wonderful force of
his eloquence and character and
the power of his mind won,
not only the nomination of the
greatest political party in the
country. but the nominations of TWO 9TH
or parties afterwards. The Register is
able to announce that at every poinS
along the route the most satisfactory ar
engagements have been completed for ac-
commolatng the largest number Of peo-
Pie f. will be possible for Air. Bryan to
address.
The great speech of the tour will be
made in Wheeling on the evening Of Oc-
tober 1. which is next Thursday, at the
State Fair Grounds on the Island. The
details Of the accommodations have been
published. Suffice it to say that arrange
ments have been made to accommodate
double the population of the city, while
( several times that number may get. into
t1e Fair Grounds at least and see Mr..
Bryan if they can't hear him.
I, will be The only opportunity afford
ed West Virginians to hear the Great

| the great railroads of the country
Now here we have the fat-foot-
ed assertion that me Democratic
platform adopted at Chicago, on
which Mr.. Bryan stands, de-
clares for the government ownership
of railroads. This assertion has bsen
made by so supposedly reputable pub
licadon a. the Railway Gazette; has been
made by other supposedly reputable and
supposedly truthful newspapers and
now i. turns up in the Wheeling Intelli-
gencer.
If any of the editors guilty of publish
ing this brazen lie had read the Chicago
platform they knew that the statement
that that platform declared for the gov
eminent ownership of railways, was a
lie. Here is what the Chicago platform
has to say on this point AID all it has TO
say:
The absorption of wealth by the few
the consoIid ION of our leading railroad
systems, and the formation of trusts and
pools require "A stricter control by the fed
eraI government of those arteries of com
merce. We demand the enlargement OF
the powers OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission and such restrictions and
guarantees in the control OF railroads as
will protect the people from robbery and
oppression.
How. in the name Of the Truth, can
the Hanna organs construe this to be a
declaration for the government owner
ship of railroads?
Yet they are boldly making the asser-
ton that The Chicago platform so de-
c,ares. and on that lie they build others
and make the appeal TO the railrOaders
quoted above.
What sort of a cause is it that requires
this sort of advocacy? Il must be ret
ten 10 the core.
The gold standard advocates dare not
honestly quote a free coinage argument.
They cannot stand the light. They dare
not tell me truth.
