When it comes to fighting for the honor
of their country and the sacred cause of
liberty, colored blood seems to be just
as good as that of the gentlemen of the
south. But when 1t comes to voting to
sustain the government and to make
its laws the negro must be silent. The
Bulletin knows and every northern
democrat knows, yes, every one of
these so-called friends of the common
people" knows, that without the use of
force and intimidation in the south the
democratic party would not have fifty
representatives in the present Congress
We are inclined however to discuss
this question in non-partisan light.
For'years, when the blight of slavery
was upon the land, the north was di-
vided in its opposition on account of
its partisanship. But there came: a
time when the fiery heat of Cody in
dignation melted the hearts of all our
people, when there we're no democrats
and no republicans, when none were
for their party, but all were for the
State. The evil in the south is as great
now as then. The rights of human
beings are being trampled on as ruth
lessly the voice of outraged humanity is
calling as loudly to US now as it did at
any time before the civil war. Are we
ready to listen, or must the poor, down
trodden suffer yet awhilep We believe
the time is not ripe, but it will come, fit
must come, For God is marching on"

Charter Oak, Nishnabotny and Union
are the banner republican townships
this year. They are certainly to be
congratulated upon their splendid work
and upon the fact that their people are
rapidly getting over the silver craze.

There were a great many stay-at-
home republican votes this year and
the reduced democratic majority in the
county was due more to conversions
than anything else. Had every repub-
lean voted the majority would have
been wiped out entirely.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1898-11-18

Just before election the Bulletin
made very careful and conservative
estimate of the vote, at least it said it
did, and landed Crawford in the demo-
cratic column by about one thousand
majority. The result was a great sur
prise to the democratic leaders and
they are still wondering what struck
them. The fact is that the campaign
of argument made by the republicans
was too much for them. We cannot
compete with the democratic leaders
of the county in bush whacking. in
mud Singing or in under-handed work,
and we do not care to try, but when it
comes to full and fair discussion
republicanism will always win in the
long run.

his desk, put her finger on a spot and
glared.

She pointed at other spots.

Wilkes Buttons.

Wilkes had the courage which does
not always accompany sarcastic
tongue, for he fought two duels and
was nearly killed in one of them, and
when challenged ON third occasion he
behaved himself, on the authority of
Croker, who was certainly no admirer of
his, like man of temper and honor. :"
His most serious encounter was with
Mr.. Martin, and Wilkes was only saved
by two buttons diverting the bullet.
One of his admirers procured these pre-
cious relics and put them in case with
the following inscription, "These two
simple yet invaluable buttons, under
Providence, preserved the life of my be-
loved and honest friend John Wilkes in

Edible "Comns."

AT very early period the orientals
were familiar with kind of pastry, a
mixture of -four, oil and honey, and
for centuries pastry making went no
further, even among the nations in the
south of Europe. But in the beginning
OF the middle ages change began to
take place in the method of mixing the
ingredients, and some other substances
were brought into use. Butter, eggs
and salt found their way into pastry
making, and the result was a manifest
improvement. Paste next came to be
used as an Enclosure for meat, seasoned
with spices, etc. Afterward it went a
step further, the next use being for the
Enclosure of creams, fruit, preserves,
etc., and later still it began to take the
many fanciful shapes in which it has
since been commonly found. In the
early stages of English cookery the
pastry cases were called collins or
"coffynes" and were made in various
sizes from "gret coffynes with lowe
liddes" for the "tartes of ffiesche" to
the "smalle coffynes'' for tartolettes'
of "fische or ffiesche," mixed with
"stuf of boylled figges ground and good
powdure and Spices.
Petruchio in "The Tanning of the
Shrew," it may here be noted, calls a
little cap "a custard coffin" These
collins correspond with the "vol-au-
vent" of today.-Gentleman's Maya.

A M.n-of-war of 1914.

The Impregnable of 1914 was Of Q, 278
toms, 9S gun ship by the official rat
ing, though her ten carronades brought
her total battery up to 10S guns. She
was therefore by no means one of the
largest ships; indeed we had ten of
greater size and force at sea or in re-
serve. Her heaviest gun was the old 32
FOUNDER smooth bore, mounted ON the
rudest truck carriage, without sights or
elevating screw. Her broadside was
LOIS pounds. Her total crew was
when she was fully manned, 743-offi-
GERS, men and boys. The men were
raised by impressment or recruited vol
UNFAIRLY for the ships commission. We
had not as yet adopted our present adj.
mirable system of manning the fleet.
The discipline was arbitrary and cruel;
there were merciless foggings with the
cat for the smallest offenses, and the
number of lashes inflicted varied from
dozen or half dozen to 500 and even
1000.
Reading the court martials of those
days, one alternately wonders how the
officers held down the gangs of ruffians
they commanded and how the men en-
dured the manifold brutalities of their
officers. Brave to a superlative degree
as these men were, with that fiery cour-
age which welcomes battle and death,
they cannot compare in quality with
the officers and men who now take our
ships to sea. Everywhere except in the
highest ranks, where our captains and
admirals are too old, the change has
been one wholly for the good. Yet it
has not kept pace with the times, and
today our sailors are poorly paid and
not too well fed. Nineteenth Century.

Canvasback Ducks.

The present writer has paid o. for q
canvasback duck in the Maryland club
In the city of Baltimore, the city which
is the home of the canvasback connois-
seur, and situated in the district which
is the haunt of the canvasback.
In San Francisco, on the other hand,
it is possible to partake of an excellent
dinner at one of the many French res
taurants wherein canvasback shall fig
ure and dinner can be secured with
ordinary wine at from Sl.25 to $1.50-
less than one-third of the single item of
duck at the Baltimore dinner.
1t may be said by captious critics
that the canvasbacks in San Francisco
are not SO good as the canvasbacks in
Baltimore. Error They are not only
just as good, they are the same. All of
the canvasbacks in the United States
come from the same district, the vast
breeding grounds in Alaska. The ducks,
flying to the southwark, take up their
various lines of fight over the lakes of
the northwestern states, like Minnesota,
thence down to the Chesapeake marshes,
or dividing and going to the west of
the Rocky mountains, they come TO the
feeding grounds which line the great
marshes at the confluence of the Sacra-
mento and San joaquin rivers. The
birds come from the same breeding
grounds, they get the same food in our
Suisun marshes as they do on the
wit, the wild celery,
Apium graveolens. lin short, the birds
are exactly the same They differ only
in price. San Francisco Argonaut.

Nervousness.

This term was first used by minis.
ter OF state who affected to ridicule the
warnings of those who were constantly
drawing the attention of the two houses
OF parliament to Russia's steady ad-
vance toward India. The term was a
happy one in its way, but time ere long
proved that the alarmists were correct,
and the said minister, so far as l re-
member, deprecated its being constant
ly brought up against him.
This word was coined by the Duke of
Argyll, who, in speech in the house
of lords, was deriding the we'll founded
approximations Of those who feared that
the Russians would make themselves
masters Of Merv, in Turkistan. They
took it in 18S3-4.-Notes and Queries.
