Nice Way to Roast Lamb.

A delicious roast of lamb is secured by parboiling carefully selected leg with five or six onions in the water. When it is put into the oven the onions, which are, of course. by this time well boiled, are scattered over it. One might fear that the dish would be disagreeably permeated with onion, but it is not: rather there is obtained a fine, delicate suggestion of the vege- table, mingled with the native flavor, now quite devoid of any suggestion of woolliuess.

BRIGHT BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

The Chicago Dry Goods Reporter prints a collection of very encouraging opinions from the governors of leading western states regarding the business outlook. It is rosy picture they draw of the good times near at hand, but it cannot be denied that there is truth and probability in it. Never, perhaps, has the great west had a better pros pect of abundance and commercial ac- tivity than at the present moment The conditions of prosperity are certainly ripe. Last year the farmers paid off great many of their mortgages;
 with another big crop this year they may be expected to begin to purchase more of, the comforts and even the luxuries of life. Railway employees and all ether skilled and unskilled work ingmenl now have employment and have again become liberal consumers

AS TO COAL.

There are several phases of the coal sion of the anthracite situation has not shown that this form of fuel is neces- sarily to be consumed in greater quan- titles as the years go by. A few years since it was a habit of some statisti- clans to state the limits of supply rep resented by the Pennsylvania beds. Today the use of gas for heating is gradually undermining the anthracite trade. At the same time the produc- tion of bituminous coal is always much greater than consumption, and prices are now the lowest ever known. If they were higher, the gas manufac- tured from it would not be so widely used, and in that case of course the de- mand for anthracite would improve
 The trouble in the whole coal market is the low cost of the commoner va riety of that fuel. How to raise it is a problem, but one of the British trade papers suggests a way. It asks why American coal has not been shipped to England and Wales recently, to, take advantage of the high prices prevailing there? In other words, the export market for American bituminous is every day becoming more inviting. Only as yet our shippers and mine owners hardly know it. Perhaps after this war has closed they will think of their chances in that direction.

DOUBLING NAVAL EFFICIENCY

With the Nicaraguan canal built the navy would be almost twice as useful. It would not have to be as large as otherwise to protect our interests. The canal would also be of immense benefit to our commerce. It would have been constructed some years ago had it not been for the opposition of railroad in terests that feared the competition in freight rates There is no valid ob- jection, either, to government owner ship of such a waterway. It will not be difficult when the next congress convenes to secure an appropriation for constructing this canal-Spring- field Union.

Patrons of The Republican are grumbling at the uncut pages of the paper. We don't blame them. Uncut papers are a direct incentive to profan- ity. It has been necessary to discard our old folding machine to make room for the big press and engine, and The Republican is now folded by hand. The fold CTS have to hustle to make con- nections, and it is absolutely impossible for them to cut the pages. Everything comes to an end finally, so please accept the situation and rest assured that the inconvenience will be over come as soon as possible.

THE TIME FOR ACTION.

The demagogues in this country have had their day. The masses are awakening to the fact that the teach ings Of Bryan and the lesser lights of popocracy are productive of nothing but wind. The country is prosperous, despite the costly war with Spain, and the dullest American cannot fail to see that we are on the threshold of a period Of wonderful progress. People grow Respondent when times are hard. and the demagogue's tale of woe finds eager listeners among them. The Republican has steadily maintained that good and bad times move in cy- cles. The history of the world proves this proposition. Look at Eng land! A few years ago she was in the slough of despond. Trade conditions men of his ilk held daily meetings in Trafalgar square and denounced the government. The world began to think that England's day of decadence
 
 was being agitated a change for the better was taking place. England to- day is richer than ever, and the con- dition of her people was never more satisfactory. The wheel simply took a turn. It has taken hundreds of turns in the history of England. Good times have never been permanent in any country in any age. They never will be permanent. We had our green back craze as the result of the hard times in the seventies. The free sil- yer craze followed closely upon the panic of 1893. It was fed by the pop ular discontent. People talked and voted for free silver who today are heartily ashamed of the performance They see prosperity everywhere pro- duced without the agency of "16 to l." the agency which Bryan and his fol- lowers declared to be the only one that would bring the country out of it's de- pression. The people are not fools, |even if they do occasionally get on the wrong track. They have seen the |collapse Of the free silver issue. and all but a few of them have turned away from it. In Arizona, and a few other political divisions desperate effort is being made to galvanize it into life, but the effort required constant appli- cation. Left to itself free silver would die here as speedily as it has died iD other sections.
 Arizona has suffered much from the free silver craze. Development along legitimate lines has been retarded be- cause of the impression created in money centers by irresponsible papers | that Arizona was free silver hot-bed. The time has come when the territory may dispel this wrong impression and get it's share of the good things cast up by the national wave of prosperity. Let us elect this fall republican del- egate to congress- He will find him. self in the house of his friends and statehood, with all it's blessings, will surely follow. The republicans and the solid democrats of the territory have it in their power to lift Arizona out of its present unenviable place. The Republican has confidence that they will he equal to the occasion.

wanted to buy it all to take along with
