SENATOR PLUMBERS VIEWS

W. II. Plummer, Populist hold
over State Senator from Spokane, re-
Gently voiced his political views
in the Spokane Spokesman-Reu
Speaking of the Peoples Party, he
said:
"The silver forces will never again
be successful in the State of Washing
ton until they have political over
hauling and platform house.cleaning.
No party can have anything but tenn
porary success unless constructed and
formed upon some high, exalted,
national foundation. When any
party or parties consolidate and build
platform composed of the whims,
caprices and isms of every loud
mouthed world-saver, and planks en-
bracing principles which are, to say
the least, speculative, and upon which
not one-hnndredth part of the people
are prepared to vote, just as quickly as
the people can get to the ballot-box
that party will 60 down to defeat.
"There is no doubt but the single
takers defeated the silver forces in
Washington, and | am not now dis
cussing whether or not the disciples of
Henry George are right or wrong. If
theoretically right, it has been demon
strated by the recent election that
they are practically, politically wrong.
1t also defeated Mr. Mcguire in Cali
foruia.
"From what investigation | can
make through the country, l believe
the Peoples Party. founded at the
Omaha Convention, in which l had
the honor of being an humble par
ticipant, has passed into history,
among the causes for which are:
First-A few self-appointed dele
gates nominating two OF the most no
torious political mountebanks (who
cannot carry their own precincts for
any oflice) for President and Vice
Pres ident three years prior to election,
for fear some one might steal their
party.
Second-A universal demand by
every voter to boss the job, regardless
of brains, experience or ability.
Third-Thc universal accusation
of every officer elected by the party
with dishonesty, treason, bribery and
jobbing, and without any proof what
ever.
Fourth-The epidemic known as
the jealousy itch. So soon as 4 mem-
Der OF the party, by hard work, sacri-
flee of time, money and patience,

Books Rather Than Food.

young man to the great German
naturalist, Prof. Lorenz Oxen.
The professor received his guest
with warm enthusiasm, but apparent
embarrassment. He showed his visi-

worth some $1,000, and we'll deserving

The girl came To- him from the kit

wife. He undertook to see that the
tone i'll which he spoke to her was
calm, but firm. She didn't have much
to say anyway, and didn't care any
thing about the tone.

THE YULE LOG.
Its Significance in the Early Days Of the
Church.

Christmas day i'll the primitive
church was always observed as the
Sabbath day, and, like that preceded
by an Eve, or Vigil. Hence our pres
ent Christmas Eve. Gin the night OF
this Eve, people were Mont to light up
candles Of an uncommon size, called
Christmas Candles, and lay Il log of
wood upon the fire, called Yule Log
or Christmas Block, to illuminate the
house, and, as it were, to turn night
into day. This custom is still kept up
in the north OF England.
The size of these logs of wood, which
were in fact great trees, may be imag-
lncd from the fact that in the time of
the civil wars Of the last century, Cap
tain Hosier burned the house of Mr..
Barker OF Haghmond Abbey, near
Shrewsbury, by setting fire to the Yule
Log. At the bringing in of the Yule
Log on Christmas Eve in the ancient
castle OF England, the great hall of the
castle was profusely decorated with
ivy and holly berries.
AS soon as the log was lighted the
Christmas festivities began. The SER
wants were then given general holi-
day and did not so to bed at all, but
rambled about until the church bells
called them to prayer at II o'clock.
The word Iule signifies Christmas,
which was called in the Latin or
Western church the Feast OF Lights,
because they used many lights or
candles at its celebration in honor of
Christ, the Light of all Lights.

Value of Cheese Food.
London Family Doctor.

Cheese is very rich and valuable
food, likely to form a very large con-
stituent in the future and especially
for TIE workingman, to be very ex-
tensively used. There is difference
in stomachs in their ability to digest
this article.
The writer is able to make an en-
tire meal of cheese, with very little
bread, and digest it more easily than
rice or oatmeal, but in most stom-
achs it is less digestible, in some ex-
tremely so. Each person must learn
for himself. 1t is a convenient form
of animal food and, when good, par
ticularly agreeable.
There is great difference i'll the
composition of cheese both in its
water, fat and nitrogenous matter.
In general, however, it may be re-
marked that every variety contains a
large amount of nitrogenous matter,
and it is for this that it is especiall Y
useful as food. Skimmilk cheese is
especially rich in this constituent, but
less rich in fat. Those who abstain
from flesh food will find in cheese
abundance of nitrogenous matter tC
take the place of that found in flesh.

The OId.Time Hoe Cake.

Most middle-agcd persons rcmem-
Der well when corn bread was served
upon nearly all tables in the South
and West at least twice day. Some.
times it appeared in the form OF "hoe
cake or batter-bread," and again in
"pones." 1t was par excellence the
bread of the negro and every man
who served in the confederate army
was also full graduate in the use of
it. Now the darkies eschew it where
wheat bread is to be obtained, and
upon the tables of thousands of South
ern and Western whites it never ap-
pears ut all, while others continue to
use it only for dinner.
Now why is this? Surely cornmeal
is as it ever was. Those who sincerely
but probably mistakenly believe that
"water-ground" meal is better than
the product of mills turned by steam
can always find supply of that in
most cities, and it is common enough
in the country. There is no trouble
about the meal; but we doubt whether
the art of cooking it has been pre-
served. The high-toned colorcd dam
sells who are turned out by our pub
lie schools are not the adopts that our
Aunt Dinahs and Aunt Pegs were.
No self-respecting pan of dough would
be conjured into shape by such un-
skilled hands. And then we may
seriously doubt whether corn bread
can be cooked in stove rs we'll as
in an open Fireplace.
The Indians laid their dough cakes
between layers of forest leaves or upon
the hard ground and cooked them in
the hot ashes. Hence ashcake," a
very luscious product indeed, when
one has whetted his appetite for it
by a long days hunting. The hoe
cake was so-called because it was
originally baked upon a hoe-that
ever ready and useful instrument of
agriculture, which is to be found upon
every plantation. But later on cook
ing utensils were manufactured
which took the place of the humble
hoe. SO, too, shingles were used
whereupon to place the dough
while it went through the process of
becoming n well-done ash cake.

PROFITABLE PATRIOTISM

There are several million men in the
United States-not jingoes-who think
this country should intervene in behalf
of Cuba and who are willing to risk a
war for humanity's sake. There is an
other class of patriots-moneyed men
who are not slow to say they will cheer
fully come to the assistance of the gov
ernment by providing the vast sums
necessary to carry on even the briefest
conflict with another country. Russell
Sage is one of these men.
Whose is the greater risk? Who will
pay the national debt? Whose blood
will be shed? The man who is willing
to risk even his life to preserve the honor
and integrity of the government, or in
the name of humanity, makes greater
bonds.
Thinking men are pondering these
things. The independent press is weigh
ing the two sides in the balance. The
camp followers profit more by war than
the fighting men. The dishonest con-
tractor the man who stays at home
and buys guaranteed bonds, the man
who sells the government supplies at
an enormous profit, will welcome the
war for the sake of what it will profit
him. It is most exasperatiIg to know
