It has been denied that Organism
stood for reputation, but it cannot be
denied that bill introduced by Rep
resentative Bell, of Colo, a populist
disciple of Bryan, provides for partial
Reputation, pure and simple. HHisbill
provides for scaling the debt of the U.
S., which Ii represented by the $62.-
315, 400 worth of bonds issued by the
Cleveland administration in February
1895, by directing the Secretary of tie
Treasury ito pay not less that one-half
Of the interest and principal of said
bonds in standard silver dollars" The
odd part Of MIR. Bells reputation
scheme is that he only specifies that it
shall inclnde one of The Cleveland bond
issues. The bill will not be heard
from again, but it shows the spirit Of
Organism and is therefore worth mem
tion, as warning of what might be
expected should Organism ever get on
top.

The object of the Democratic Sena-
tors in talking to delay progress on the
tariff bill is obvious. 1t is estimated
chat every day the bill is delayed means
loss to the government Of at least
$100, 900 in duties, and the more that
is lost in that way, the better prepared
will be Democratic stump speakers to
charge the new tariff with not produc-
ing enough revenue during its tirst nine
months or year. OF course intelli-
gent people will know that advance
importations under present duties will
prevent the new tariff showing what it
can do as revenue producer for some-
time after it goes into effect, but intel
ligent people are seldom or never in
fiuenced by the untrustworthy state
ments which form such conspicuous
feature of Democratic stump oratory;
it is the unintelligent and poorly in
formed class which is led astray by
such talk.

The attempts of some of the Demo
cratic Senators to explain that they are
not protectionists, although thsy ha We
voted for protection for the products
of their states, have been more or less
ludicrous. Senator McEnery, Of La,
is the only one of them who has come
out squarely for protection, although a
number OF. them have voted for it in par
ticular schedules. He said in reply to
the taunts of Senator Jones, of Ark,
and Vest,; considering the vast inter-
ests Louisiana has in rice and sugar;
considering the output OF her saw mills,
her salt and sulphur mines, is there
any reason why The Democratic party
of my state should not be committed
to protection? Not high protection,
but such protection as is consistent
with revenue necessities. This, also,
believe, is the doctrine Of the Repub-
lican party. Call it what you will,
protection, revenue duty with inciden-
tai protection, or anything else, large
amounts must be raised, and there is
no reason why the Industries of the
South should not be protected"
Middletown transcript., 1897-06-19

The Democrats took advantage OF
the agreement of the Republican Sena-
tors to shorten the tariff debate as
much as possible by not making
speeches or taking part in controver-
sizes, to make number Of statements
concerning the sugar schedulewhich has
been adopted by the Senate, that they
must have known were untrue. The only
one of their statements that any atten-
tion was paid to was that asserting
that the new sugar schedule would
give the American sugar refiners more
protection than the schedule for which
it was substituted, and that was only
replied to indirectly by Senator
Allison, who stated that the new
schedule would give the American
sugar refiners less protection than the
one abandoned, and that it wonld be
shown by indisputable evidence as soon
as statement now being prepared by
unprejudicied experts could be COM
pleted. Senator Allison's word was
enough for the Senate which adopted
the new schedule.

With bountiful nature, and a popu-
lation accustomed to work for pay that
would only support them in conditions
Of squalor, it can be seen why the citizen
OF the United States, who is always
looking for q place to 'invest his capital"
(mesning often only his wits), finds Mex
leo attractive. So long as wages are
low, and the peon is content to live as he
does, and the American dollar can be
changed into two Mexican dollars for
the purchase Of land or the pay Of labor,
the prospect seems dazzling one for
the Rdventurer. The government in
vites investments by the most liberal
concessions, and encourages in every way
the building of railways and the devel
opment Of productive lands. / doubt il
there is another country where foreign
ers are 80 much encouraged and so we'll

iCO And this invitation of foreigners
will continue so long as the government
is administered in it's present spirit,
until the MexicRns are educated, and
have learned to live better and to de-
mand adequate wages, Meantime the
government, while holding out induce
ments to foreign capital, is multiplying
its schools, both for common and indus
triai education, and adopting our new
educational methods, from the colleges
down to the kindergartens. In this
transitional period the American sees an
opportunity for making fortune. 1t

LIVING WATERS.

There are some hearts like wells, green mOssed
and deep
AS ever summer saw
And cool their water is-yea, cool and sweet
But you must come to draw.
They hoard not, vet they rest In calm content,
And not unsought will give;
They can be quiet with their wealth unspent,
so self-contained they live.
And there are some like springs, that bubbIlng
burst
To follow dusty ways,
And run with offered cup to quench his thirst
Where the tired traveller strays
That never asks the meadows II they want
What is their joy TO give;
Unasked, their lives to other life they grant,
SO self-bestowed they liyel
And one is like the ocean, deep and wide
Wherein all waters fall
That girdles the broad earth, and draws the
tide,
Feeding and bearing all;
That broods the mists, that sends the clouds
abroad,
That takes, again TO give;
Even the great and loving heart OF God,
Whereby all love doth live.

GOOD way to ROast Ducks and Geese.

"Prime ducks must be fat and young,
the lower part Of the legs and webbing
Of the feet soft, and the under bill suffi
cieDtly soft to break easy" writes Mrs.
S. I. Rorer in her cooking lesson on "The
Cooking Of Poulty, J." In the Ladies' Home
Journal. "The usual rules for roasting
and baking will apply to ducks and
geese. They contain, however, much
more fat than either turkeys or chick
ems; this, melting while they are roast
ing, may be saved for frying purposes
and used in place of butter. Instead Of
using bread crumbs as dressing for
ducks or geese, use potato. For a me-
dium sized duck allow four good sized
potatoes or two cupfuls Of mashed pota-
toes. While the potatoes are hot and
light add to them one cup Of chopped
English walnuts, teaspoonful Of salt,
half cup Of chopped celery, and salt
spoonful Of pepper, When thoroughly
mixed put the dressing into the duck or
goose, sew up the vent, and it is ready to
roast. The peculiar flavor impaired by
the celery in the roasting gives a tame
duck much the flavor Of a wild one.
One Of the choice dishes among German
American people is goose stuffed with
sauerkraut. The sauerkraut is washed
thoroughly and soaked over night in
cold water, then stuffed into the goose,
the goose trussed and cooked slowly"

So many people have an idea that cof-

When the Child Likes TO Work.
Florence Hall Winterburn, writing of
"a Child's View OF Work" in the Wom-
ans Home Companion, says, among
other things:
"It has been truly said that were it
not for hunger the aboriginal man would
never have stirred hand or foot. Carry
ing out the idea, it is suggested by others
that children are naturally indolent, and
need to be goaded before they will labor.
But however true this may be of the
children Of savages, Of barbarisns who
live from hand to mouth, it is false in
regard to the offspring of higher races.
The centuries Of culture and of organ
lied effort that lie behind us have been
to little purpose if our babies are not
born with tendencies Of loftier kind
with energies more definitely directed
than the young Fijiian. And it is quite
evident to anyone who has spent little
time in watching very young children,
that those belonging to educated and
industrious parents exhibit spontane-
ously passion for movement activ-
ity, And this is identical with energy.
$50 soon as affection springs to life in
the innocent little heart, this natural
energy becomes united with the impulse
to be useful; and if we were only upon
the alert to recognize this moral senti-
ment as soon as it is born we should
rarely have to utter the reproach SO fire.
quent with us now, that children seem to
like to give trouble. They may, and they
will after awhile, il the early good feel

and turned to puerile pursuits or to
busy idleness,' instead OF being helped
to do something, however small the
thing may be, of real worth.
