arrogant.


Hayemeyer says Republican tariff
is the mother of trusts. We notice
most trusts flee to Democratic New
Jersey to be wet-nursed under laws
passed by democratic legislature.
Those not of New Jersey rearing hail
from Democratic Delaware. DEBORAH
Republican.
Did not both New Jersey and Della
ware go republican in 1896, and are
they not under republican rule at the
present time, United States Senators
and all? So these states have become
the hotbed for trusts since the republi-
can party got control of them. The
Republican, insults its readers by at
tempting to deceive them. The dis
graceful squabble last winter in the
republican legislature of Delaware
over the election of United States
senator is still fresh in the minds of
the people. Hayemeyer knows what
he is talking about. He is typical
republican and beneficiary of protec-
tion. His may be case of rogues fall
ling out. He was mad because sugar
did not fare as well as other products
of manufacture, hence he told the
truth. -Glaytoi, Co. Democrat.

Value of Meats.

Steak that is light red with white fat
is tenderest and most juicy. The flesh
of 4-year-old animal gives the best
nourishment.
Veal over 5 months old is food for
weak stomachs and is easy to digest,
though it does not contain so much
nourishment as the flesh of an older
animal.
A very good meat is mutton from 4
to years old. The lean part is very
conducive to good health. Lamb is
not so strong food as mutton, but is
suited to delicate digestions.
Pork is looked down upon by people
who diet, but in reality if from an ami
NAL properly fed is rich nourishment,
People with delicate compilations, liza
BILE to eruptions, however, should be-
ware of pork.
Wild game is nourishing, but should
be kept some time before being used.

A sergeant was drilling at Limerick a
squad of militia recruits whose mode of
marching in line was decidedly eccen-
trio. At length, utterly exasperated by
their irregularity of step, the sergeant

DISHES THEY FAVORED.

George III. also loved boiled mutton
and turnips.
There was nothing Napoleon was SO
fond of as boiled mutton with onion
sauce and he frequently INDUCED his
taste to such an extent as to make him
self i'll.
Queen Elizabeth made her breakfasts
and suppers off of salt beef and ale. In
contrast, Mary Queen of Scots, whose
tastes were French, had n most dainty
table and was luxurious in the extreme.
james l. liked a Scottish dish, cookie.

where Titles ARC SOLD.

A well-known continental dealer in
titles and decorations issues an annual
circular. He does not sell his wares
directly to his clients, but claims to
have influence with the various foun-
tains of honor, which he can "tap' at
will. AS proof of good faith he asks
no fee until the desired piece of goods
is delivered. The degree PHI. d. can
be had for mere song. Some of the
minor orders of the continent can be
obtained for $500. The Austrian order
Of the Iron Crown is just little ex-
pensive. 1t will cost $4,000. But you
can be a baron or a count in some Of
the minor German states for $1,000.
One hundred dollars will secure the
title of court dentist.

THE QUICK-FIRING CRAZE.
Like All Good Things They May Go
Too Far.

The Austrian press, including even
the military journal "Reichswehr,"
has been giving prominence to the al
legged invention of a remarkable quick
firing rifle. says the London Globe.
This truly wonderful weapon will in
the hands of trained soldier emit
no fewer than 200 bullets an hour,
or forty-tive in one minute. Thus In
an engagement which lasted several
hours each soldier could loose off a
CARLOAD of ammunition, If he had it
ut his elbow; and an army of 10000
men-a mere handful of men as con-
tinental armies go-would require o.
600 carloads with the firing line III
one serious engagement For a cam
Daign of invasion each soldier would
require to be followed by magazine;
and a shell exploding in company
would produce as many devastating eA-
blossoms as there We're men. III, on
the other hand, each soldier marched
with, say, his own 200 rounds, he could
fire them all in less than five minutes
ana ne leIl WllIOul illlulullttiOh Ioh
the rest of the engagement.
Such considerations are, OF course
extreme; but they show that the re
ductio ad absurdum" of quick-trlna
rifles is easily reached. Even now the
difficulty is to get enough ammunition
to the firing line and to keep contro
of the fire. If rapidity of fire is mucE
increased without some entirely new
method Of bringing up ammunition the
occasional advantage of being able tt
pour in deadly hail of bullets for {
minute or two will be dearly purchased
at the cost of whole brigades perhap:

Criticism Not Unpatriotic.

deny or even question any mans right
to criticise any officer of the govern
ment from the highest to the lowest,
state or federal; on the ground that it
is unpatrioic. If you believe he who
criticises is in error, reason him outof
his error, if he will listen to reason,
but never attempt to make him be
