Washington, March 17.--No political
questions were discussed in the house
today. The whole session was devoted
strictly to the post office appropriations
bill, which was taken up for amendment
under the five-minute rule. The ques-
tions which consumed the major portion
of the time related to the allowance for
clerk hire at post offices and to rural
free delivery. The house increased the
allowance for rural free delivery from
$780, 900 to 100000, and defeated the
proposition for increased clerk hire.

SOUTHERN FEDERAL PRISON.

The action of the Senate appropria-
ton committee recommending an appro-
priat:on of $1,000 for 10 site for a
Southern Federal prison, to be located
by the Secretary of the Interior and At
torney General, has much interest for
Raleigh,
The State prison at Raleigh is now
temporarily designated as the Southern
prison, and by proper effort the location
could be made permanent~ The Ashe-
VILE Board of Trade has advertised for
proposals to sell sites of fifty acres in
or near Asaleville, conveniently located
as to railroad facilities. Raleigh ought
to do the same thing, though the State
penitentiary authorities ought to seek
to sell the State penitentiary. The
State, having placed most of its convicts
on farms, has now no need for such
a large and handsome building as the
prison located on the western suburbs
of Raleigh.

THE PRESIDENT SHOULD EXECUTE LAWS;
NOT MAKE THEM.

The Washington Post says that every
effort is being made ''to minimize the
influence and participation of Congress
in the matter Of the questions growing
out of the Cuban war and the Maine
disaster. We are told that the President,
Sneaker Reed and Mr.. Hit, chairman
of the Foreign Affairs Committee, have
put their heads together to prevent any
vote in the House after the report of the
investigating committee is made. The
present plan is to pigeon-hole the report
in the Foreign Affairs Committee, and
leave the determination of the country
policy to the President alone.
Since the blowing up of the Maine,
the President has borne himself with Il
dignity that has Won the admiration of
men of all parties. He has shown wis
dom in his action, as we'll as in his sill
ence. He is in danger of losing this
confidence by attempting to take from
Congress the duties which belong to it.,
and assume powers not vested in the
chief executive.
We have had too much one man power
already. We have had too much eX-
pressed contempt for Congress by the
President and his advisers. Mr.. Cleve-
land said he had Congress on his
hands" meaning to imply, if not ham
pered by Congressional action, he could
make q better ruler. Mr.. Mckinley in
most matters has given weight to Con
gress and sought the counsel of repre-
sentatives and Senators. If it is need
ed in matters of appointments and in
ternal affairs, how much more does the
President need the cooperation of the
peoples representatives in the grayest
matter that has come to us as a people
in many decades? In a multitude of
counsel is wisdom.
wisely and patriotically than the Presi-
dent. It's members are among the ablest
men of the country and many of them
are ADLER than Mr.. Mckinley Congress
alone can declare war. The contention
that the President ought to act indie
pendently Of Congress until he wants
supplies, is an extreme Federalistic no.
ton. The true theory is that the exc
cutive ought to furnish all the informa-
ton he has 10 Congress, accompanied by
his views, and that the responsibility of
war rests upon Congress and not upon
the executive.
Why is it that Congress is distrusted :?
The reason is that the President and his
advisers know that Congress has all
along favored the recognition of the in
dependence of Cuba. If it had not been
distrusted when the Democratic caucus
Instructed Mr.. Bailey to introduce such
resolution last January, the greater
evils that now threaten us would have
been averted. Mr.. CleYeland's and Mr.
McKinIey's refusal to cooperate with
Congress in the past has wrought evil,
and evil only. The present plan Ito
minimize the influence and participation
of Congress" will result in still further
delays and plumbers.
The time to act is when the report is
received.
The parties to act are the members of
Congress.
After giving his advice and informa
ton. it is the duty Of the President to
execute the decree of the constituted
law making body.

SOLDIERS BUDGET.
Gen. Sherman's Sweetheart.

When Gen. William Tecumseh Sher-
man was raw subaltern in the United
States Army, says the Chicago Chron-
icle, without fame or laurels and little
apparent rope of winning either, he
wooed and won a beautiful Spanish
girl then living in Monterey, Cal.
Donna Maria Ygnacia Bonifacio fell
beneath the ardent chances of the lank,
ungainly youth just as the flag of the
sister republic was lowered before the
triumphant army led by Scott. Today
she is still true to her early love and
unaware of the fame and death of her
lover.
California was then a part of the
Mexican Republic. Sherman, like
many another, was forced to make war
against the land of the Montezumas.
In the closing year of the struggle,
when California was occupied and be-
came a part of the United States, Sher-
man was assigned to duty on the coast.
Here he met the fair donna, lost his
heart to her and won hers in return.
She was member of an old aristocratic
Spanish family and the subaltern was
congratulated upon his luck. To en-
phasize his devotion the young officer
in 1855 planted rose tree before the
entrance to the home of his beloved.
Then came the inevitable misunder-
standing which accompanies every
romance. The lovers disagreed, Sher-
man left the army and went East
to take up the law. He never after
ward saw his sweetheart, nor did
she ever permit his name to be
mentioned in her hearing. She speaks
Spanish only, never reads newspaper,
and, while the nation has sung the
praises of the hero of Atlanta, the
Spanish maiden knows nothing of him
from the day he left her. She still, al
though long past her youth, waits for
the return of the man whose image
has never left her heart.
But in spite of the separation of the
sweethearts, that rose tree throve and
waxed great. Now its branches have
spread until they form beautiful bow
er over the doorway of the old Spanish
mansion. Here the donna, sole sur
vivor of her race, sits and waits silent
and alone, for the return of him who
cannot come. Under the bower of
roses due to her lovers care she stood
recently and permitted her portrait to
be taken. She is still very beautiful,
in spite of the ravages of time and
secret sorrow.-Boston Journal.

To Brighten Glass and Silver.

There is nothing that is more effec-
tive in making the table beautifully
brilliant than well polished silver and
clear, shining glassware. What looks
worse than dull, black silver and
muggy-looking glasses, dishes, etc?
Yet how often we see this, and in
places where one would expect every
thing immaculate, and it is absolutely
unnecessary when few minutes time
would make these articles look as if
they were new.
A few drops of ammonia in the water
in which you wash your cut glass, or
any other, will do the work; if they are
deeply cut, soft brush and soap will
help wonderfully.
For cleaning silver, take equal parts
of ammonia and alcohol and enough
whiting to make quite thick; apply
a cloth or soft brush if the article is at
all rough; set aside to dry, and by the
time you have finished your other ar
ticles this will be ready to polish, which
is done with a piece of dry flannel,
leaving the article as shining as new

THE HOUSEHOLD,
How to Cook Corn Meal.

1t is only recently that women have
appreciated the value of good cookery.
The simple every day things have been
considered of little importance and
often entirely neglected. Even the
cook books give but little information
about some of the things which every
body should know. Among these is
corn meal. When it is properly pre-
pared 1t is healthy article of food.
But as it is usually cooked 1t is indi-
gestible and unfit even for strong
stomach. The common way of maxi
ing cornmeal mush, for instance, is to
stir the meal without measuring it into
boiling water until it is thick, and when
1t has cooked five or ten minutes IL Is
done. By this process it is hard and
raw, and wholly unfit to eat. 1t is sur.
prising how much it is improved by a
little extra cooking, and it can be made
a delicacy with very little trouble.
Take one quart of water, add one
teaspoon of salt. When it boils stir in
one cup of yellow corn meal. Let it
boil for ten minutes, then set it back
on the stove, where it will cook slowly
and not burn, for one hour and stirring
occasionally. Pour into a mold and let
stand over night. In the morning it
will be firm enough to slice well, and
when it is dipped in grated breads
crumbs and quickly fried 1t will be a
pleasant surprise to those who have
been accustomed to eating it the old
fashioned way.
Corn bread or "jot nnie cake" as it
is often called, is greatly improved by
the following directions:
Put the milk that the recipe calls for
on the stove, and when it is hot stir in
the cornmeal and let it cook for ten or
fifteen minutes. An easy way to pre-
vent it from burning is to set the dish
on an asbestos pad. Then proceed
with the mixing in the usual way. The
extra cooking removes the raw taste of
the meal and greatly improves the flavor
of the bread, besides making it entirely
digestible. Chicago Times-Herald.
