lection from attack without and disord-

Defiance of this principle stamps a
man as an enemy of organized society
and puts him on the same level with the
avowed anarchist, no matter in what
disguise he may clothe his evil-breeding
theories. The only hope of the future
of the. republic lies in fixing in mems
minds the sense of the reciprocal res
possibility of citizen to government and
government to citizen; and the sledge-
hammer of public adherence ought to
descend promptly on every attempt to
propagate pestiferous doctrine on the

COOKING HINTS.

Chocolate is greatly improved by
adding a teaspOOnful of strong coffee
just before serving.
In adding -four to gravies, always
use -four dredger and there will be
no Jumps in the gravy.
Some housekeepers vary tAe favor OF
potato salad by boiling the potatoes for
it in stock, or, if it is more convenient,
in the soup kettle.
In using sour milk the proportion for
gingerbread, biscuits, cake or almost
any dough or batter is one teaspoon o.
baking soda to two cups Of sour milk.
If making gelatin dessert on hot
OF wet day, add little more gelatin
than the recipe requires, half as much
again if you wish to mold fruit into
the jelly.
Eggs la ranigote is made by boil
ing eggs three and half minutes, roll
in beaten egg and fine bread crumbs,
fry in deep fat; when brown, drain on
paper, garnish with parsley and serve
with ramgote sauce.
To make a small shortcake take a
pint of pastry -four, rub in lard the size
of an egg, teaspoonful cream of tartar,
half teaspoonful soda, salt, and mix
with sweet milk. Bake in quick oven,
split and butter and add fruit.

he reached home after a drenching
'"They are a fine thing when they come
decently and in good order"-as he
placed his umbrella where it would
drip on the parlor grapefruit | want

his soggy new hat and saturated coat

eight dollar trousers. which resembled

resumed as he took his shoes off and
let the water run out. ''if it rained

day like this has no right to be on the

NO POPULIST GONGRESSMEN.

One of the unexpected results of the
late elections was the complete extinct
ion of the Populist Congressman. In
the next Congress there will be Republi-
cans-alas, too many of them-and
Democrats. Diligent scrutiny OF the
roster of the body fails to reveal the
presence of third party man.
AS consequence of the elimination of
the Populist it is in order to speculate
as to the character of the next third
party which will develop, flourish and
decay as parties have done since the
formation of the government. Judging
from the strength shown by the Social.
ist element at the last meeting of the
Federation of Labor in New Orleansand
the increased Socialist vote throughout
the country at the elections month
ago, it would seem probable that there
will be Socialist congressman in the fr"
ture. Already there are Socialist ma
yors of large towns and Socialist MEM
bers of some State legislatures. Encour-
aged by the formidable showing at New
Orleans there seems no reason why the
Socialiits should not make fly at the
Congressional game.
At present the, Socialist is looked upon
as arbinger of calamity by. many big.
oted partlsans; looked upon as hare
Drained lunatic by many who know not
what Socialism is; looked upon with
thoughtful attention by those who be-
lieve the present times are out of joint
and who know not the way to settle
them right.
The Populist having joined the Green
backer in the vast cave of political OBJ
livion whence no traveller returns, the
people are ready for the next. 1t might
as we'll be the Socialist as any one else
There is only room for two parties ir
this counary. The Democratic party il

equal rights and no special privileges
The Republican party is the agent and
defender of monopoly, special privilege
and favoritism to the rich.

Place the cork in a bowl of water, TAX
ing pains to see that the cork when 1t
floats on the water will carry the nee

about three inches from hollow straw
(such as is used to suck lemOnade) and
to push the needle inside the straw.
The straw will float and carry the nee
die. Now observe what happens. The
floating needle will slowly swing round
till it points north and south. The
straw will behave in the same way.
Push it In any other direction, and the
moment it is free it swings back again
We do not know who first observed
the fact that a floating magnetized nee

make a compass. All we know is that

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

In planting the orchard care should
be taken to allow each tree plenty of
room.
A layer of charcoal in the bottom of

In plowing in the orchard always
turn the furrow toward the tree. and
be careful not to injure the fine. fibrous
roots.

The roots of the strawberry often
reach out five feet from the main

An apple or cherry tree is much
more valuable IL it shoots out low.

the lower branches to grow out.
Land that has been too rough for

WOMEN IN POLITICS.

Ii we accept all that we hear, we must
concede that women are getting more
and more to be reckoned with in poll
tics. 1t is the natural result of the en-
reimbursement of women in several of
the Western States and the partial
franchise extended to them in many of
the States in different sections of the
country.
It has been a notion with some that
about the only effect of woman suffrage
would be to double the vote without
definite results and that the participa-
ton of women in politics would be an
Indifferent monotony, but there are
things which indicate that in some in.
stances the female vote does have, or is
likelyto have, an interesting and de-
cisive character; that the women are
going to make and unmake candidates,
turn elections and do all things with the
ballot that men do.
The Hon. j. Ellen Foster, Republican
spellbinder from Iowa, was OH the STUN p
in the far west during the late campaign.
She made speciality of Idaho, and she
attributes directly to the women the
political revolution in that State. AS
an argument that the women are ihflu-
enced by principles and not by any mere
feminine sentiment, fastidiousness or
infatuation, she sets forth the fact that
they allowed seuator Heitfeld, friend of
Statehood, to go to his doom, although
he is one Of the handsomest statesmen
of the day. Mrs. Foster says the Idaho
women made a careful and intelligent
study OF the questions dividing the par
ties, and voted out of plain and serious
convictions.
Granted that the women studied,
there is, on our part, but one conclusion
to be drawn, which is that they did not
study enough. Voters who do no study
ing at all are always Republicans. Vot-
ers who study a little may still remain
Republicans, but voters who study pro-
foundly must never have been in, or
must have forsaken that party.
In the case of Colorado two interesting
facts present themselves. One is that
the only candidate on the Democratic
State ticket elected was a woman-the
candidate for superintendent of public
instruction. We think it more reasona.
BILE to suppose that the woman vote was
decisive in electing her than that the
men all voted for her through gallantry
But if the women voted for her, was il
because they had studied? If they did
not study, how can we account for the
remarkable assiduity of the Idaho
women in running down public ques
tions and at the same time the indiffer'
ence of the Colorado women to the merit
of the issues?
The other circumstance is that or
election day woman repeater was ar
rested in Denver in the very act of cast
ting her third vote. Think of it-a
woman repeater Women repeat &
good many things, but it had beer
pledged and warranted over and oveI
