Come Out Into the Open.

II the Republicans have any confidence
In their record, why do they not bring it
out into the open. Why do they harp on
the Wilson Act, which is backnumber,
the silver question, which is a backnuln-
ber, and Barney Ford's coal bills, which
are baclznumbers.
Why do they not explain to the people
the reasons why the twin revenue"
bills Of Mr.. Dingley have produced deficit
and nothing but deficit, deficit of untold
millions, deficit never paraileled except in
the black days when the Southern cry
was. -On to Washington? Why did they
pg tariff bill which has ruined our
foreign trade? Why did they put a duty
on wool which is running both the farmers
and the manufacturers?
Let Mr.. Voorhees, tell us also why his
grand crusade of three years ago. fol-
lowed by the election of that arch reform
humbug, John W. Griggs, has resulted in
a deficit in the State Treasury, backed up
the ORDINARY expenses of Government
ever known in the history of the State.
Let Mr.. Voorhees, tell us what has be-
come Of the money which used to be paid
for publishing the laws. Let him tell us
what has happened to the fees saved
in the office of the Clerk in Chancery
and the Supreme Court Clerk, when these
two officials were put on salary.
We challenge Foster M. Voorhees, to
explain these things, and, until he does
20, we proclaim him a fraud and an inn
poster in asking for public support on
the score Of economy and reform
The Republican party is also called
upon to abandon ancient history and
come down to the present fact Of
ALGERIsM, that murderous system of
corruption and jobbery, which has popu-
lated the graveyards at our National
camping grounds, and carried undying
anguish into homes North and South,
East and West, wherever the patriotism
Of the American people aroused young
soldier to take up arms for the flag.
Let Mr. Foster M. Voorhees, explain that
one fact to us. Let John w. Griggs
come out of the Cabinet long enough to
tell US why we should reward robbery
ana murder with power and profit.

The Objectionable Dryness OF Many
Cakes May De Avoided by
Proper Baking.

Angels food is dainty to look upon.
name, but Notwithstanding the many
times of sitting the -four, the extreme
care in baking and what not in the
way of "fussy" cooking, there is an un-
deniable dryness about this cake. This
drawback may be obviated by prefix
ing an "arch" to the angel, and with
it the needed moisture and tender
ness.
Archangel cake is as appropriate for.
a July high tea as plum pudding for
a Christmas dinner, and is made thus:
Cream well together cup each of "a"
sugar and nice, sweet butter. The
"a" sugar should be always at hand
for those who desire perfect cake. II
is only trifle more expensive than
the ordinary sort, and if kept separate
for cakemaking little will go a long
way. When the butter and sugar are
right beat in two cupfuls of flour sifted
with a teaspoonful of baking powder
(sift before measuring, then again
with the powder), lastly stir in the
well-stiffened whites of eight eggs.
The yollls willmalSe custard, or gold
cake. This will make good-sized loaf
and should be baked in an angel cake
tin, Turkshead.
1t may also be baked in sheets, with
filling between. Among the most de-
licious of things is the following:
Throw half a pound of shelled sweet
almonds into boiling water, and after
standing minute or less the skin will
rub off easily. They are then to be
pounded to a paste, with a few drops
of rosewater or other favoring to pre-
vent oiliness; work into this half a
pound of powdered sugar and blend
the whole together with the white of
an egg. After standing few minutes
it is ready TO spread on the cake or to
be cut into squares, to be put aside to
harden and used as "sweet. t."-Cincin-

There was plenty of money around
here in those days, and cotton and to-
baeco planters dropped in day after

Hogan.

Lewis gave him the money and he
walked out with his friends. When
they got outside Holland said:

Hogan.
