Elections by Revolution.

The u...4.iHg concepts of govern gent in spanish and American repub-
 .cs may De inferred from the manner ln which the chief executives give their titles to official documents. With us sae executive simply appends "presi- tent to his signature. In Venezuela. the presidents deerees begin: T, Ci- prtano Castro, general in chief of the armies of Venezuela and supreme chief of the republic" ." Imagine the effect here should MT Mckinley append such a title to his official documents. And yet he is as much commander-in-c chief of the army and navy of this country as Castro is of his. It illustrates the subserviency there of civil government to the army, and helps explain why elections are chiefly by revolution.- St. Paul Dispatch.

TO SAVE TIM B.
Reform That's Suggested for Com
 mercial Cores pn ndence.

Not content with the destruction of the art of letter. writing through the invention of the telegraph, the type writer and other time-saving devices, an iaonoclastic Camden genius makes what he calls plea for reform in commercial correspondence by elimi- mating the few courteous words, such ,.s Dear Sir and Yours very truly, - which still survive in the arid waste of business letters. By actual experi- ment" he says in the Philadelphia Record, it will be found that it takes I typewriter one hour to write these formal introductions and conclusions to 800 letters. Now, the estimated total annual letter mail of the world is 5000 000 GOO pieces. Of course, this is not all commercial cores spondence, nor is it all typewriter, but for the purpose ot having some statistical starting point 1t will be assumed that it is. To write the Dear sirs' and Yours very trulys' for this number of pieces would take one typewriter 16.000 eco days. or allowing 300 work ing days to the year, about 6,700 years To translate this into an approxtma- ton of it's money value, allowing s10 as the wage of the typewriter and eight hours as the average days work. the cost would be s3.350,000. Is it worth it? Or, to go a step further, is it worth anything? Little by little the forms of address have been con aeaSed until such old-school phrases as My Dear and Respected Sir and Your humble and obedient servant are obsolete Why not continue the good work and reform il altogether Why not adopt the following sensible, stratghtaway, businesslike form:

TO COOK SWEET POTATOES.
The southern Way and the Delicious
 RcsnIt That IL Prnduce..

T see that there is to be an eXcep- tionaliy large crop of sweet potatoes this year, o6serEad the 5aalderner in
 4e party, and am sure that the news W0.d ba much more thrilling to New Workers if they knew the proper way t9 prepare the vegetable. Now, latter myself that l do know, f0f the sweet potato is an appreciated yase- ta4Ie ii tho south and the manner of cooking 1t has not been caEelessly con- sidered The potatoes should be peel ad and boiled until they are thorough y but not too well cooked. Then they should be cut into four pieces length wise and placed in 2 tin baking pan. Butter and sugar should be placed over the potatoes abundantly before they are put into the oyen to bake slowly After a while the butter and sugar mingling with the juice of the pota- toes form q deiiaete crust that should be cooked until it has reached the point 2 which it is candy. Under this crust is q thick, rich syrup of the saL' of the potatoes, sugar and butter. Any. body who has eaten sweet potatoes in this Way will never be satisfied with any other way of cooking them. The fire must 5e slow. and the cooking must continue until the sugar and but ter on top cf the potatoes have formed a crust It $ this unwilIingness to cook things long enough that inter- feras with the success of many New York dishes. Take boiled ham. for instance Few of the boiled hams in New York are cooked. They are gen orally more or less raw in the center, merely because nobody is willing to take the necessary time 10 have them thoroughly boiled.
 "The cd rule, and the one that is followed in the south today, is to boil a ham one-half hour for every pound, Thus q ten-pound ham ought to be allowed 10 boil for five hours, and in that way the meat will be kept firm. dry and sweet throughout, instead Of raw and wet in the center and cooked until 1t is as dry as bone at the ends.

from the Indians.
 Sometimes historians tell LIS that if was only Dutchmen and not English men who bought the red mans land Instead Of stealing it. Such state- nsnt. have been made in New York. but if We pass on to Philadelphia we hear that it was only Quakers who were thus serupulous, and when We arrive in Baltimore we learn that 1t was only Roman Catholics. In point. of fact, it was the invariable custom of European settlers on this Atlantic coast to purchase the lands on which they settled and the transaction was usually recorded In deed to which ths Sagamorea affixed their marks. Nor was the affair such q moe1ery as 1t may at first thought seem to us. says a writer in the Atlantic Monthly. The red man got what be eorely eov- eted, steel hatchets and grindstones. glass beads and rum, perhaps muskets and ammunition, while he was apt to reserve sundry rights of catching game and fish. A struggle was in- evitable when the white mans agricul- tnre encroached upon and exhausted tne Indians hunting ground but other circumstances usually brought it on long before that point was reached The age of iron superseded the stone age ill America by the same law of progress that from time immemorial has been bearing humanity onward from brutal savagery to higher and more perfect life In the course of it our forefathers certainly busted and dispossessed the red men, but they did not do t in 8 spirit of robbery
