First ON Deck.

A few days ago The Star. in some obser-
vations about the probable program of the
populist party for the next presidential
campaign, pointed to the likelihood of ear
lier action by that party than by the
other parties i'm the matter of platform
and nominations. The opinion was ex-
pressed that the populists would be the
hrst IN the field, and with a declaration of
principles embodying their real purposes
and desires.
This opinion has been most PROMPTLY
Justified. The national organization COM
mittee OF the populist party In session at
ST Louis adopted an address yesterday
outlining national platform and calling a
national convention to make nominations
on it for April of next year. This is hur-
rying things beyond all modern precedent.
But II may be a wise course for the popu-
lists to pursue. There Is no doubt that
they were badly divided and buncoed last
year as the result OF being late In the field.
Their convention at st. Louis was manipu-
lated more In the interests of the silver
democracy than In their own interests. and
was finally decoyed into action which made
the panty something of jest during the
campaign. They cannot hope to eycape
overtures from the silver democracy for
fusion again. but IL they declare themselves
early and perfect an organization for a
vigorous campaign, they win be In position

To Warrington by Electricity.

To Washington by Electricity.
From the baltimore American
1t Is stated that the electric railroad
projected to run between this city and
Washington. upon which much work was
done before the hard times came, has
passed into other hands. and will be fin
ished and operated either by electricity or
steam. Whenever as large an amount of
money Is expended on an enterprise as was
used on this road, the work is rarely aban-
doned. unless rival road acquires in
tereSts, because too much capital has been
paid out for the investors to be satisfied
with receiving no earnings. The service by
Washington is good, but 1t is presumed the
projectors of the new road thought there
was business enough for another. or they
would not have begun work. The new road
II completed, will touch points not reached
by the steam roads; but, as stops will be
frequent. 1t Is inferred the time will. be
longer, unless express trains are useds =.
The many electric roads and branches
that now reach out into the country around
Baltimore have contributed greatly to the
de velopment of the country, and the result
has been lowering of rates to nearby
points. These are matters which, after all
most interest the people. Competition is to
be looked for in all sorts of enterprises in
these days. and what suits the people best
will receive their patronage.
1t is rumored that the new road may be
used as a means of giving the Southern
railway, which now stops at Washington
an entrance into Baltimore. Further de-
velopment will disclose what use the new
purchasers will make of their property.

The Columbia and Maryland Deal.

Whatever may be the exact nature of the
bargain now icing arranged for the sale of
the Columbia and Maryland railroad prop
erty to a newly formed syndicate. 1t is the
devout hope of every Washingtonian that
this deal may result in the cutting Of the
Gordian knot into which the present owner
ship has tangled this line and its urban
connections. What Washington wants Is
rapid transit on these lines. 1t does not
much care who furnishes 1t, save that,
other Things being equal, the capital would
prefer to have its local franchises under
the control of local men, who are at all
times susceptible to the force of local pub
lie opinion. Washington insists, however,
that the overhead trolley system shall not
be considered in connection with the roads
that lie within it's boundaries The two
urban lines that connect directly and indi-
rectly with the Columbia and Maryland
the lexington and Belt-are in depior-
able condition today, largely, II not wholly,
as result of the deliberate mismanage-
ment of their majority owners. II placed
upon a rapid transit basis-by preference
the underground electric-they would al
most surely become profitable properties.
Their improved equipment would encour-
age traffic to return that which has gone to
other lines, beside building up sections Of
the city that have been stunted by reason
of the wretched transportation facilities
afforded by the horse cars. OF course, the
men now negotiating for the possession Of
the Columbia and Maryland road have an
eye single to profits. II Is suggested that
II is their purpose to complete the long
projected boulevard line between this
city and New York. and that their interest
in the Washington city lines Is merely In
cidental to their desire to secure convenient
terminal facilities for this splendid enter.

A Humbue soIicituae.

The opponents of tine annexation of Ha-
wall are very solicitous in their public
deliverances about the natives In the
islands. Their plant is all for the natives
The natives were not consulted about the
overthrow of the monarchy. The natives
were not consulted about the formation OF
the government which took the monarchy's
place. The natives are not being consulted
about the pre- posed transfer of the islands
to the United States. One might suppose
the whole project to be base conspiracy
against the happiness and prospects of the
Hawaiian race. But is It?
Let the record speak for what the condi-
ton of the natives was under the mon
arcky. What voice had they in affairs
then? Who consulted them about any
thing? Who suffered more. according to
their stake at home than did the natives
from the incapacity and viciousness of the
monarchical government? What prosperity
or prospects had they then? What would
lie their condition today If the monarchy,
with all the rings and corruptions which
fiourished under 1t, still existed?
On the other hand. who of the iphabi-
tants Of the islands, whether native or for
eign born, can fail to profit by the transfer
of the territory to the United States? The
project means Improvement on every hand.
There is no industry which will not feel
the effects of it. The particular form of
the new government is not so much to the
point. Let 1t be granted that a territorial
form is prescribed and continues for some
time. Government by the United States in
any form Is SO great an advance on the
old form of government in Hawaii that the
islands will benefit by the new program no
matter what 1t may be.
This cutlery about the natives in Hawaii
is all humbug. AS American territory the
islands will make rapid advances along all
the lines of progress possible in that lat
itude. They are certain to become as rich
as they now are fair and inviting The
natives. to the full extent of their powers.
Will have such opportunities as they have
never had before, and never could have
IN any other possible circumstances. 1t is
not only the merest humbug, therefore, but
the veriest waste of breath, to be bewailing
the fate of people who are on the eve of
such manifest and unmis takable good for
tune. To all the people of Hawaii, whether
native or foreign born whether rich or poor,
prominent or obscure. the raising of the
stars and stripes on the islands will mean
the Inauguration of the greatest and most
beneficial era in the islands history.

Why He Killed the Cow.
From the LAGRANGE (Ga.) Graphic.

From the LaGrange (Gn) Graphic.
Mr.. Reuben Smith, VINO runs a beef mar
ket on Ridley street, killed a COW last
week. and In the cows stomach he found
the following articles: Six Single nails.
three horse shoe nails, three barbed-wire
staples, one brass medal on which was
stamped the picture of Grover Cleveland
These things follow in logical sequence
First, the stomach gets used to single
nails, then comes the desire for tougher
diet and the stomach has to be fed on
barbed-wire staples And then comes the
last stage OF stomach debauchery and after
eating barbed-wire staples constantly for
five or six months the stomach gets so II
can even retain a brass picture of Grover
Cleveland. But that is the last stage. Few
stomachs go that far Mr.. Smith did right

Cuba VIII he Free.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

1t is very doubtful whether the Cubans
who have seen so many lives lost and SO
much property destroyed will trust to any
promises. Nearly 100000 regular troops
have been sent to Cuba during the course
of Gen. Weyler's administration Gen.
Blanco reports that at the present time
less than 10000 are nit for duty. More than
10000 are in the hospitals, and something
like 5000 are Cnaccounted for. They are
either dead or have been sent home Now,

The European Money TanRle,
From the Philadelplria Record

Money is the true king. The smart scheme
OF the German kaiser to sell the Sultan of
Turkey guns and build him war ships to be
paid for out of the Greek indemnity-thus
enabling the porte to build ND its independ-
ence Of European control on the basis of
late victories in war and diplomacy-has
been nipped in the bud by Russia and Aus
tria. Russia has demanded payment of the
war debt Of 1873, and Austria has put In a
claim for naturalization for later Indebted
ness which the sultan has been forced TO
comply with. Thus German loses fat con-
tracts and diplomatic prestige, and the
Turks find their legs tied by debt.

Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1897-01-14

S. r. Buffun, market gardener liv-
ing near Lake Park, Iowa, has a most
remarkable vegetable In his cabbage
patch last year occurred sport, by
which a plant, instead of making a
head in true cabbage style, assumed
the form of vine. At the axis of the
leaves cabbage heads OF about two
pounds weight were formed. There
were thirteen of these heads. The
plant went to seed last year, something
unusual for cabbage, rs they require
to be set out the second year for seed.
The seeds We're formed in the usual
manner. all the earliest cabbages on
the vines throwing out seed stalk.
Mr.. Buffum saved the seed. and on
planting it this year many Of the plants
have assumed the vine-like habbit of
the parent, although the majority have
returned to the natural form Of cab
bage 1t is believed. however, that
should seed be saved from the vine
cabbage every year it will only be
year or two until the vine variety of
brassic will be established. Mr.. Buff
fun has been experimenting with the
plants this year, and he finds that it
the heads are picked off as soon as
they attain a weight Of one pound, the
vine, like cucumbers. will continue to
form a large number of new heads.

brine butter. make 4 strong brine. two
or three pounds Of salt to one gallon
of water. Place straining cloth over
mouth Of churn. pour in brine. put lid
on churnturn sharply half dozen
times. and leave from ten to fifteen
minutes. Then lift the butter out of
churn into sieve. turn butter out on
worker, leave it 4 few minutes to
drain and work gently till all super
liuous moisture is pressed out TO dry
salt butter. place butter on worker,
let it drain ten or fifteen minutes, then
work gently till all the butter comes
together: place it on the scale and
weigh; then weigh salt-for slight salt
ing one-fourth ounce medium, one-half
ounce heavy. three-fourths ounce to
tho pound of butter. Roll butter out
on worker and carefully sprinkle salt
over surface, n little at a time; roll
I'D. and repeat till all the salt is used.
