HoRsERADIsH TIME.
Uses of This Pungent Root That
Some People Don't Know
About.

OF the itinerant merchants whose
raucous cries are just now particular
ly penetrating none is more insistent
than the purseyor OF horseradish, a
yender almost peculiar to the East
side and upper sections of New York.
He comes trifle early this year, per-
haps, but he says on being questioned
as to this previousness that the horse
radish crop is very much ahead of Its
time.
Properly" said one of the venders
to me, "the season does not begin un-
til oyster time; but since the crop
insisted on coming to perfection some
weeks In advance and horseradish is
mighty good as relish for all sorts
of cold meats, why, reckon no one
objects to that fact, leastways not the
restaurant keepers.
Good cooks always buy plenty Of
horseradish of us hawkers, for you
have no idea how many are the fine
dishes which may be made with the
root. Lots Of people make a very
toothsome sauce by covering one
pound Of sliced horseradish root with
spirits of wine and keeping the mix
ture tightly corked. Then this is
added drop by drop to the white
sauces used for meats or fish. When
mixed with little fresh mustard and
red pepper the horseradish and spirits
of wine make great sauce for broiled
beef or deviled chicken.

connection much used in New York.

gether with an ounce Of minced on
ions, piece Of garlic and pinch Of
red pepper in quart Of cider vinegar.
After this has been kept corked up
for q week II is strained through o
cloth and bottled for use. It is pleas
ant addition to number of salads.
sMany Of the restaurants uptown
where the cooks are foreigners grow
a very fine salad from horseradish.
They take the crowns which are left
after the roots are dug up and bury
them upright in moist beds which they
keep specially for the purpose in the
dark, warm cellars under the restau-
rants."-- Y. Herald.

USE AND ABUSE OF BRooMs.
Good Care Should he Taken of Them
in Order to Insure Well
Swept Floors.

An old broom well kept will sweeI
clean for long time. In the first
place, have a broom pocket and keeI
your broom therein. 1t will pay for its
cost many times in the saving before
its life of usefulness is over. A broom
not in use should always be kept up
side down, so that the straws fall out
ward. This keeps it in shape. In
sweeping, use first one side and then
the other. If you sweep always on
the same side of your broom it will
soon grow one-sided and have to be
cast aside. When, however, a broom
is not badly worn, only mashed out
OF shape, 1t can be Strengthened by
wetting, pulling into shape and drying,
bottom upward.
On sweeping day have pailful of
warm suds, made by dissolying table
spoonful of pearline in pail two
thirds full of warm water, and rinse
your broom off whenever it becomes
dusty. A damp brooms sweeps a
dusty surface much better than one
which is bone dry. Have a bag of
heavy canton flannel to fit your broom,
with drawing-strings to tie around
the handle, and use this over the
broom for shellacked hard wood floors.
In pursuance Of this idea a clever
woman has patented sweeper for
such floors, fashioned something like
q miniature garden roller, with the
cylinder covercd with canton flannel
in several thicknesses. Highly-pol-
ished floors cannot be treated too ten
derly. When done sweeping, pick up
all the lint, etc, from the straws Of
the broom and rinse 1t before setting
1t away. 1t seems superfiuous to say
that separate brooms should be kept
for different purposes-that the
kitchen broom should never be used
either for the pavement or for up
stairs, yet most servants must be
watched lest this be done.
Exact that your carpet sweeper
shall be thoroughly cleaned ON every
sweeping day, and never put away
dirty. Unlock 1t over a newspaper and
take out every bit of dust, lint and
dirt; then rinse the brush in soap suds
and dry before setting aside. Chicago

An Empire Builder Dies.

The history Of Europe will read other
than what it would have read but for
the living Of the man whose death oc-
CURED yesterday. Whatever the esti-
mate of him which his contemporaries
may make, no man in this century has
been more influential in shaping the
course and altering the destinies Of
his own and other European nations
than has been the man to whom has
been given the name Of the man Of
blood and iron. OF the changes worked
by the first Napoleon nothing remains,
but Of the work of Bismarck that re-
mains whose foundations he made so
enduring that centuries will find them
secure.
His enduring monument is the Ger
man empire. His life's work was
crowned with success when Frederick
was proclaimed emperor in the captur-
ed palace Of the French emperor. To
that work he gave his immense. ener-
gies, his marvellous genius for state
craft and the force of will that was
indomitable. He stopped at nothing,
scrupled at nothing, yielded to moth
ing. He found Francis Joseph of Aus
tria impeding his movement, and he
gathered the military organization
which Won Moltke had perfected, and
smote Austria to the ground in that
remarkable campaign that ended with
Sadowa. He met the insolent demand
Of Napoleon with the mailed fist, and
wrenched from France Germany's an
cient provinces. The last Napoleon
went into exile, as did the first one,
and Bismarck's king was crowned en-
peror Of Germany in Versailles And
all these movements were ancillary to
his main purpose, to secure the assent
of the petty rulers of German states
to the formation of the empire with the
king of Prussia at it's head. The de-
tails, the means used, the wrongs done,
the rights trampled on, the individuals
crushed, all these are lost sight of in
the magnitude of the accomplishment,
the massing of fragments into one
great, powerful empire, the elevation Of
Prussia into a power able to dominate
in the policies Of European courts. This
is his title to enduring fame.

For the Peoples Cause.

The evidences are abundant that the
Republican party will be plentifully
supplied with money for Its campaign
expenses. 1t is the party in power.
Its members are entrenched in the
public offices, and they are able to con-
tribute literally to the party fund. The
Democrats. on the other hand, are
without resources, except as they may
be supplied by the rank and file. Their
cause, however, is the peoples cause,
and whoever is anxious to see it tri-
umphant may send their contributions
to The G o b e, and these, by arrange
ment with the state committee, will be
forwarded to Treasurer Winston. Such
subscriptions become popular subscrip-
tons in the best sense of the word.
They will be duly acknowledged in the
columns of The G | o e.

The Stone the Build ers Rejected.

We referred recently to the approach.
Ing meeting Of commissioners repre-
senting the Dominion of Canada and
the United States for the purpose of
settling the differences that have grown

their hostile fiscal legislation, as one

in the policy Of the party at present
charged with the conduct of national
affairs. We also had occasion to note
the request of the secretary of state to
congress for an appropriation to pro-

our trade relations with China, and the
surprising arguments he advanced in
support Of his request surprising as

Editor Charles Hopkins Clark, of the Hart
ford Courant the newspaper with which
United States Senator Joseph s. Hawley was
for so many years Identified, delivered a
public address in that city recently on the
subject of the newspaper, in the course of
which he said:
Newspapers are made to sell. That must
be the burden Of my talk. They sell for the
interest there is in them. and in trying to
make up readable paper the editor must
PRINT what people want to read, and not
simply what he thinks they ought to read
The editor can and must leave out what he
feels would shock his readers and ought
not to be read under any circumstances, and
he should put in as much as possible of
what he feels ought to be read. But the
newspaper is made to sell.
People will not buy one unless it interests
them; and. no matter how good it is and
how choice its contents, a paper can do
no good at all If nobody reads it.
Now, however pitiful 1t may make man
kind appear, it is true that the interest in a
great prize fight covers the whole country
and the paper that does not give an account
of it is not a newspaper. If by failing to
mention all such things and fires and muir
ders, and all the rest of what ought not to
happen, if they could be prevented from
happening. there might be some sense in
tell what happens. That's their prime duty.
The very people who would commend YOU
for emitting something from your paper
often go and buy another that has it in.
me quite effusively for leaving out of our
paper personal article that was printed in
another paper here, but even while he was
talking to me he called his Office boy and
said: Here. Johnnie, while 1 think of it,
l want you to run out and get me dozen
copies of (naming the paper. I've a few
friends that would be interested in that mat
ter" So you see, he thanked me, but he
bought the paper with the article.
There are two sources of revenue-from
sales of papers. and from advertisements that
go into the paper. Your paper must have it's
circulation established if you expect ads
There is a great deal or criticism of the
news that is printed. Why tell us, they say
of defalcations, murders, divorces, railroad
accidents shipwrecks, wars and all such
things? Now that really is not the full
measure of newsgathering, but it does cover
a good deal, and in some aspects l am glad
it does. What is news? The very word ex-
plains. 1t is something new, novel, the I'M
expected. the out of the ordinary. These OBJ
jectionable incidents are the breaks in the
general welfare.

Disappointment for Some Repub-
Leans.

Lovers of plush breeches, silken hose,

MALTA Of royalty among the Republi-
cans will be disappointed at the out
come of the war. The peace negotia-
tons contain no encouragement for
those who have reveled in dreams of
an imperial colonial policy. Mckinley
is wiser than most of his party editors
in the matter
There will be general feeling of
relief that the Philippines are not to
be absorbed and a career of territorial
expansion be entered upon by the
United States. A coaling station is
not synonymous with colonial pos
session, even If 1t does mean, as SEN
ator Davis expressed it in The G o

ficient number of troops to maintain

witch group. Wesare rid Of a multitude
Of complications by our refusal to oc-
cupy the Philippines, even If we do

neer Press puts it, 'the grandest op-
portunity that was ever offered to any
country in the world for the extension

ing of the power and greatness of the

breeches, it will be observed, are con-
cealed in this glowing rhetoric.
But our neighbor ought not to be
alarmed. Our commerce will extend
and our republic will upbuild without
taking in all creation at one swoop. We
have seen enough Of the Cubans to
know that we want little fellowship
with them, and we have heard sufficient
OF the Aguinaldan band to satisfy us
That its material will furnish a very
poor substructure on which to upbuild
the republics power and greatness.
The Press characterizes the policy
OF the president as "a gigantic blum
der" and loudly calls upon him to
take "a few American statesmen into
his counsels." We had supposed that
senator Davis was fair type Of an
American statesman, but plainly an
Alger is preferable to our contem-
porary. He indeed would. annex the
4 Philippines with a whoop and furnish
the necessary lumber for upbuilding
the republic f. o. b.
The requirement of Porto Rico will
be no severe wrench of the Monroe
doctrine. But as for Cuba, an Amer
lean congress has declared that its
people are of right free and independ-
ent, and let it go at that. When
time has developed their incapacity
for Enforcement, if that shall come
to pass, then will be presented a cues
ton for the consideration of Ameri-
can statesmen. Let us hope that their
number will then have sufficiently in
creased, and their usefulness as we'll,
to satisfy our critical neighbor.

Davis and Roosevelt.

We are not engaged to any great ex-
tent in giving aid and comfort or con-
tribCting advice to Republicans We
may observe, however, for the benefit Of
their newspapers hereabouts, that the
state of Minnesota possesses presiden-
tial timber, and they may recognize the
fact If they pause a moment to con-
slider matters.
They may have overlooked the fact
that one Of the chief advisers of the
national administration is a Minnesota
senator, and they may not know that
st. Anthony hill, in the town Of ST.
Paul, is in as close touch with the
White house as Santiago: and further
more that the presidents telegraph

sages to Senator Davis as they do to
Shafter. The senator is the recognized
legal adviser of the administra ton
corroborative evidence Of the influence
and robust character Of the great and
growing Gopher state. We expect to
see Minnesota a unit for Cushman K.
Davis for president, in the next Re-
publican national convention. And
when his nomination has been assured,
what would be more natural than for
his friends to cast their eyes in the
direction Of that other great state in
the East and pick for running mate
Roosevelt, the Ready, Teddy, the rough
rider of New York?
Of course, the Democratic nominees,
whoever they might be, would give the
twain a hot race and distance them
on the homestretch. There would be
to Democrats, however, positive salts
faction in having two such representa-
tives of the grand old party for COM
petitors in the presidential chase. The
state Of Minnesota would lose none Of
its prestige in the running.

The Chicago Newspapers.

Inc Chicago newspapers have raised
the price Of their daily product from
one cent copy to two cents, the fig
ure which generally obtained two years
ago. Business rivalry rather than
business sense dictated the drop to one
ceat.
During those two years the papers
gave away a tidy sum which naturally
belonged to their own stockholders.
Business sense will now have it's in
nings.
The Chicago newspapers are among
the best printed on the face of the
globe. They are worth more than
cent a copy, and the public will pay
the increased price without a muir
muir. The public is not hungering for
cheap newspapers. 1t wants good
newspapers. containing the latest and
most reliable news. That the matter Of
price cuts no figure was clearly demon
strated during the stereotypers. strike,
when no newspaper was issued from a.
Chicago office. Newspapers sent into
Chicago from neighboring cities were
eagerly seized by the public at S. 10
and even rs cents per copy. The fact
contained a hint which was not lost
upon the Chicago publishers
The newspaper is justly entitled to
profit on it's circulation, and there is
no profit in printing a one-cent paper
The one-center must necessarily be o.
cheap newspaper, lacking in many Of
the essentials which satisfy intelligent
readers. We ought to see immediately

try might look with some concern upon
