j. II. Burnham Speaks at the Court
House.
Capt. ]. H. Burnham of Fayette-
vile, who last week resigned as one
of the Populist electors for the State
at large, spoke at the Court House
last Wednesday night. And blythe
way, Mr.. Miller, the other Populist
elector for the State at large, having
also resigned, the Populists now
have none for the State at large.
Both these gentlemen have re-
signed because they discovered that
Mcdowell and Buchanan were
working in the interest of Stahlman
and Mckinley.
Capt. Burnham is still a Populist,
and soundly scored the Democrats
for sins both of omission and com
mission. He had not left the Popu-
list party, or deserted its principles /;
but when it came to aiding and
abetting, directly or indirectly, Nc

self-respecting gentleman or honest
Populist could so vote, or so throw

the reciprocity sections of the old with
such amendments, if any, as time and

proper.
The remaining planks of the repub-

letter closes with this noble plea for the
obliteration of sectional lines.
The country is to be congratulated on
the almost total obliteration of the Sec
tional lines which for 80 many years
marked the division of the United
States into slave and free territory,
and finally threatened its partition into
two separate governments by the dread
ordeal of civil war. The era of reconcile
alton, so long and earnestly desired by
General Grant and many other great
leaders North and South, has happily
come, and the feeling of distrust and
hostility between the sections is every
where vanishipg-let US hope never to
return. Nothing is better calculated
to give strength to the nation at home,
increase our power and influence
abroad and add to the permanency and
security of our free institutions, than
the restoration of cordial relations be-
tween people of all sections and parts
of our beloved country. If called by the
suffrages of the people to assume the
duties of the high office of president of
the United States, / shall count it a
privilege to aid, even in the slightest
degree, in the promotion in the spirit
of fraternal regard which should ami
mate and govern the citizens of every

The Nutritive Value Of Canned Meats,

Canned corned beef Is of greater
food value than fresh lamb, veal or
mutton, but not equivalent to the
better cuts of fresh beef, while su-
perior to the round, shank, shoulder
or chuck with shoulder. Canned
salmon is of greater food value than
any sort of fish except fresh salmon,
and it is not much behind the edible
portion of that, and, if compared
with fresh salmon as purchased,
quite as valuable, tho calories of the
latter being 025 against $50 for the
canned salmon. Canned chicken or
turkey is nearly equal to the best
cuts of fresh beef, decidedly better
than fresh veal, on par within
fact, ahead of-lamb and as good as
mutton. Deviled ham has high nu-
tritive value and is better than fresh
pork. Sardines must rank high as
nutritive article of diet Canned
lobster is on par with fresh. -

Pure Olive Oil.

If olive oil congeals in freezing
weather, it is sign that 1t is adulter-
ated with lard Very few of the expen-
sive bottles of so called oil will stand
this simple test. In fact we seldom get
the pure thing, and, If we did, the
chances are that we could not eat 1t.
AT least, that was the experience, once
upon a time, Of one woman who used
great deal of mayonnaise dressing upon
her table and had supposed that she
dotted on olive oil. An Italian friend be-
slowed upon her flask of the peculiar
ly green fluid. To her surprise, not one
of her family, herself included, could
bear its taste. There was a tang to it
which showed them that they had never
eaten olive oil before and that they
never wanted to eat 1t again. So they
gave the flask away.
