Temple of Fort Worth, at the
Southern. Few Americans are
as we'll suited for the post of
minister to Turkey at such a
time asthis as is Mr. Terrell,
and President Mckinley could
do this country no greater ser
vice than by keeping Mr.. Ter
rell at the Turkish capital until
the war is over. He was train
ed in Diplomacy by Macmillan,
the i..ii-fated emperor of Mexico
This experience of Mr.. TerrelI's
is an unwritten page in his
history, which, ! suppose, he
will insist on his hiographers
leaving blank. There is nothing
to be ashamed Of in his con
nection with Macmillan, and
yet Terrell never discusses it.

friends.
He was colonel in the con

Another wave of mckinley prosper.

days after election. Our lumber men
were notified that all grades of lumber
had been advanced from ST. 90 to S.. 90
a 1000. To illustrate: The bill oflumber
the athletic association bought a few
days before the rise, to fence in the
park, would cost $50 more today. This
rise is not caused by supply and de.
mand, but is in accordance with the
lumber trust under the Mckinley tariff.
The republican lumber trust did not
dare advance the price of lumber until
after the fall elections, but hastens to
make the people pay tribute as soon as
the contest is over. What do republi
cans think of this kind of prosperity?
They should also make a note of the
fact that the very day this advance in
lumber was made wheat fell three
cents a bushel in Chicago and corn one
half cent. Manhattan Mercury.

18th. 1897. than for the corresponding
week in 1896. and except the years
of 1896 and 1898, there we're more
failures during the first ten months of
the present year than have ever
occurred in like period in the nations
history. Corn in the central states is
selling at Is to % cents bushel. cats
at II to IS cents. hay lower than for
a generation, and wheat, under
present circumstances, with short
crops in all the wheat growing
countries, which ought to sell. and
would sell if we had unlimited coinage,
at 50 bushel, ls selling at IS cents to
90 cents a busbel. Next year, with
an average crop in the world, wheat
will drop to 50or go cents under the
gold standard. Of course Dunn's do
not say all this, but taking their re-
ports for the present and in the past
this is the logical conclusion. What
consolation the republicans can take
out of these facts is hard to surmise.
The advocates of the free and un-
limited coinage of silver can con
graduate themselves on the fact that
rapidly developing facts-as admitted
by the monometallists-ar proving
that our position was right in 1896.

In Ono the official count gives
Bushnell, the republican candidate
for governor, majority of 4293-a
loss of 96,175 from the republican
majority of 1897. One of two things
is proven by this: Either the repub.
lican vote in Ohio in 1897 was padded
Illegally, or nearly 100000 republican
voters of that state now refuse to en-.
dorse the Mckinley administration.
In either case the republicans have
mighty poor cause to be proud of
President McKinley's own state.

WHY are not the republican papers

FROM all directions come com.
plants about the tremendous rise in
the price of almost everything, exl
cepting the only article that more
than half of our people have to SELL
their labor. An expert says of the
effect of the Dingley tariff upon the
price of mems clothes: "a suit OF
clothes that could be bought last year
for SD cannot be duplicated now
under $50 and that fact is an annoy
ance to dealers and customers alike.
With men of ample means, who have
their clothes made by fashionable
tailors, So or SO advance on a suit is
hardly noticed, aud if noticed evokes
no complaint. 1t is very different,
however, with those who have to be
careful in their expenditures, for this
class So represents a considerable
sum. The number of men who buy
SID and $40 suits is largely in excess
of those who pay tailors $40 and $50
for suit, and it is from the poor and
middle class that the kick against the
Dingley tariff is sure to come. New.

seeking new ideas in that line. In
many of the advertisements we find
this expression: "Our goods were
purchased before the tariff was added. -
Now since "the importer pays the
tariff, we fail to see the force of the
assertion that goods were purchased
before the tariff was added. What
difference can it be to the consumer,
if "the foreigner pays the duty"
whether the goods were purchased
before the duty was put on or not?

TIPS TO THE COOK.

Slice bacon thin, put in a pan in
single layers and cook in the oven un-
til slightly brown. 1t will be an agree
able change from frying.
Stir salt, about a teaspoonful to a
gallon, in your cream, and it will pre-
vent its becoming so sour.
Put cherry leaves, cut up fine, in
your pie plant pies and they will have
a decidedly nice flavor. A very little
soda put in pie plant or gooseberries
will save sugar and not hurt the flavor
of the fruit particle.
When cooking peas use a spoonful
of sugar to a quart and see if they're
not better.
In canning berries don't cook them
to death; when they have all become
thoroughly hot through it is enough,
They will not get soft as when cooked
so long Seal your fruit as hot as
possible, wrap your cans in several
thicknesses of paper and keep in q
cool, dark place
Make a strong tea of hickory bark,
use a tablespoonful to a pint Of
molasses made of sugar, cooked with
it, and you will have an excellent sub
stitute for maple syrup.
