PARTIsANISM Run l b

The partisan Kansas City Journal
in taking the position that men who
honestly differ with President McKin-
ley and his party on the great economic
questions that present themselves for
solution today s~ympa,hize with the
cowardly anarchis, who attempted to
a-ssassinaie our chief executive At Buff
fAlo recently IL so filthy In character
and so loathsome in nature that de-
cency cannot touch 1t without soil
ing its robes. So stepped Is this cow
ardly assailant Of q brave and patriotic
people in filth and falsehood that the
fumes from . stenchridden sewer would
be as the scent OF the tube-rose or the
orange-blossom In comparison. These
narrow-minded unamerican scribblers
of latter day falsehood and calumny
are blurs upon civilization and a parady
on manhood. So plethoric are they Of
partisan p~rejudices that truth to them
is strange and the lie the basic prin-
ciple that underlies their entire struc-
ture. Through reckless, truthless ex-
preston they strip themselves to the
waist, splotch their naked bodies
with the scum of hoodlumism and hold
themselves up for the entire American
people to gaze upon and despise. The
only possible excuse that can be Of
fered for these so-called journalists is
that you can expect no more Of the hog
than a grunt.
The INTELLIGENCER regrets, how
ever, that expression Of this unpatriotic
and unkind nature has in some cases
come from the pulpit. For the min
lster Of God who would thus prostitute
his high and noble calling we have
only sympathy. To take reckless
buster into the pulpit OF the Christ in
order to obtain worldly notoriety is as
cowardly as it is desplsable and the
man who would resort to 1t Is a dis
grace to the noble doctrines given tc
the world by the child Of Bethlehem.
The INTELLIGENoER differs with
President McKinly on political issues
but at the same time the INTELLIGEN.
GER denies the right Of any cowardly
assassin Of patriotism and character tc
attribute to 1t feelings and impulses thai
it loathes. W. also deny the right o
men who forsake argument and resor
to abusive falsehood to charge all goot
citizens who honestly voted agains

effect that the president was bis enemy
and that he had little sympathy for him
In the hour Of the country's great sor-

attorney, Il lawyer by the name of
LamOn, was Il man of great physical
strength. and took particular pleasure
in athletic sports, and was so fond OF
wrestling that his power and expert
cnce rendered him formidable and
generally successful opponent.
One pleasant day in the fall Lamon
was wrestling near the courthouse
with some one who had challenged him
to Il trial, and in the Scuffie made a
large rent in the rear Of his unmentiOn-
ablCS. Before he had time to make any
change he was called into court to take
up Il case. The evidence was finished,
and LamOn got up to address the jury,
and, having on Il somewhat short coat,
his misfortune was rather apparent

Fried onions as garnish to beef
steak are. if liked Mt all, favorlte
dish. At most tables the onions are
served a greasy. blackened mass, often
half raw, altogether unpleaslng to
view and by no means digcstiblc. This
is because most cooks cook onions in
n pan with a little butter, method
that cannot by any skill produce a
satisfactory result. Try the next time
another way. Slice the onions and
soak the slices In milk for at least ten
minutes. Then dip them in flour and
immerse in boiling fat for six or seven
minutes. Have the fat heated to the
point that a bit of bread thrown In will
brown instantly. The slices will not
remain intact. but will cook through
and will not turn black. Remove
with a skinner and drain on brown
paper, placing around the steak.
