GRAY DAWN OF PROSPERITY.

Governor Steunenberg in the open
ing paragraphs of his Hamiltonian
message is pleased to relate this bit of
encouraging news: "Since statehood"
he says, "our progress has been fairly
commensurate to the exigencies of the
of the times" Then he proceeds to
categorically indicate the direction and
substance of "our progress" "The in
mates of our charitable and penal in
situations have more than doubled" he
says. "Our bonded interest bearing
debt has almost doubled, while the as
sessed valuation of our property is de-
creasing. We are thus confronted with
the difficulty of doing an increasing
business on decreasing capital" This
kind of progress" would afford occa-
sion for only a moderate outburst of
joy, had not his excellency promptly
discovered the cause of it at the very
moment he was appraised of its exist
ence; and did we not know that he is
well prepared to apply swift and reli-
able remedy. We are gravely informed
that our unhappy progress is altogether
the result of inexcusable legislative
blunders and wanton administrative
mismanagement. For, says our gov
ernOr, "if the ordinary caution incident
to good business methods had prevailed
at all times, in matters of legislation
and administration, our position would
have been secure and unassailable.
even in periods of great commercial
depression like the present" 1t was
no ordinary intellectual feat to thus
promptly and circumstantially locate
the cause of all our woes. We have
every assurance that the governor is
thoroughly familiar with everything
pertaining to "good business methods"
and that he win vigorously apply the
the caution incident" to the estab.
lished code. The governor was first to
discover the stunning fact that it was
a disregard of, 'ordinary" precaution in
matters of legislation and administra-
tion," that populated eur poor farms
with diseased and disabled, filed our
state asylum with lunatics and our
penitentiary with criminals. 1t reg
quired his unerring aim to punctufe
the common fallacies which go hand
in hand with "periOds of great com
mercial depression" The thoughtless
and superficial. right here at home,
have, in measure, been charging our
commercial depression" to the un
speakable iniquity of "73;" but our
governor explodes this nonseusical
"claptrap" with breath; for does he
not tell us that, "if ordinary caution
incident to good business methods"
had been strictly observed by our state
governors and legislatures, "our posi-,
ton would have been secure and unas-
sailable?" He also informs us that
a material decrease in the assessed
valuation of our property" is directly
chargedble to a disrespect of the mere
incidents to good business methods.
and that this discourtesy is character
istic of our state administrations and
ever since the advent of
statehood. How he harmOnizes the

tooth and toe nail to defeat Senator
Dubois; that they are making a

Chestnut Stufflng for the Turkey.

'sTurkes are best roasted unstuffed, .
writes Mrs. S. T. Rorer in the Christmas
Ladies Home journal. 'sBut people
have. however, become so accustomed to
the flavor of the stuffing in the meat of
the fowls that it seems almost impossible
to get along without it. Bread stufing
is, no doubt, the most objectia nable of
all. Acting as sponge it draws the
juices from the meat, leaving is dry and
tasteless. Chestuuts are much to be
preferred, and where these cannot be pro-
cured sweet or white potatotes, or even
rice may be substituted. All must be
boiled before using. For ten-pound
turkey one quart of Spanish ortwo quarts
of common chestnuts will be required.

and saltspoonful of pepper. Mix and
