RELFiEe UPON Discomfort.

The hope Of the democratic party now
ms in the past is in popular discomfort
of which there is always more or less
however favorable the industrial and
other conditions. In every national
campaign for years the appeal of that
party has been to the dissatisfied senti-
ment. which It has sought in every pos
sible way to increase and intensity. The
leaders are not counting upon the farm
ers, because these having abundant
crops and being prosperous are well
satisfied with existing conditions. But
they hope to gain recruits from the
working classes, among whom they pro-
fess to believe there is a great deal of
dissatisfaction 'arising out Of the pres
ent high prices and the failure Of wages
to keep up with them"
We noted recently the statement Of a
democratic leader that the bad condi-
ton in the anthracite coal region and
in a good many manufacturing centers
where the people, although occupied,
have hard work to get along, will do a
great deal" I'VE are not looking to the
agricultural states for our gains" he
said, "they will be republican anyhow,
but 1t is in the congested districts, where
political conditions are more nicely
weighed, that we shall encrOach on the
opposing party" In a late interview
the chairman of the democratic ma
tiOnal congressional committee endeav-
ored to prove that there is no prosperity,
an effort utterly futile when addressed
to intelligent people. He asserted that
workingmen are paying more for their
living and have not received an adj
vance in wages over what they received
FIVE years ago, but neglected to speak
of the increased opportunity for labor
that the workingman has and ignored
the fact that steady employment is an
evidence of prosperity.
There is every probability that the
democratic party will gain less this year
from popular discomfort than in the
past, particularly six years ago, when
dissatisfaction among the people with
then prevailing conditions was much
more general than at present. There
is undoubtedly an exaggerated idea as
to the extent of discomfort among the
working classes at this time. We think
there is no doubt that a very large ma.
jority Of them are well satisfied
with constant employment at much
better wages than they received five
years ago. 1t is true that the
cost of living has increased, but
except as to a few Of the neces.
saries it is now less than a year ago. In
any event, what does the democratic
party offer that would benefit the wage
earners? The overthrow OF protection
which that party demands, every intel
ligent workingman knows would be dis
astrous to labor. Grant that 1t would
reduce the cost of living, 1t would al
the same time destroy the opportunity tc
earn it. There is 10 promise of better
ment for wage earners in democratic
success. That party's policy is hostile
to the interests and the welfare OF the
Industrial classes and it is not to bt
doubted that this is well understood by
all intelligent workingmen.

Under the plan of Tax Commissioner
Fleming all taxable property in Omaha
Is to be assessed for the coming year at
full value. This would be eminently
right If all property was required to
bear its just share of the burden of
taxation in proportion to it's actual
value. But If s~lx-sevenths Of the tax
able property is to be assessed at 100
per sent and the O%ne-seventh which
represents the railroads is to pay taxes
on less than ? per cent OF It's actual
value, the new departure will work
greater injustice to the great body of
taxpayers than did the assessment for
1902. which was made on a basis Of 4O
per cent. The only way for the tax
commissioner TO carry out the spirit as

revision and Reform.
Cleveland Leader Crep.).

Cleveland Leader Cep.).
1t is difhcult for democrats to understand
the republican position with respect TO the
revision Of the tariff. Every time a repub-
lican of prominence says he is in favor OF
a readjustment OF the tariff the democrats
at once cry out that another convert to
democratic tariff reform has been won.
But there is all the difference in the world
between tariff revision as advocated by re-
publicans and tariff reform as urged and
fought for by democrats. The difference
is that the republicans. in considering the
tariff question, keep in view the doctrines
Of protection, while. on the other hand, the
democrats only favor tariff reform because
they believe it will ultimately lead to free
trade.

Somers, and is now just so years
old. In 1872 she was married to Lord
Henry Somerset, M. p, who is second

Importance by her election to the

and cut up young fowl; sprinkle
with pepper and salt and roll in -four.
Dip in beaten egg, to which have
been added two teaspoons of water.
1t is not possible to egg chicken by
laying it in the egg; instead hold each
piece in the hand, turning it every way
so that it can be thoroughly wet, and
pour the mixture over it with spoon.
Then lay in finely sifted bread crumbs
and cover thoroughly with them. Ar
range the pieces of chicken in a drip
ping pan, so that as much surface
as possible will be exposed to the heat,
and set in hot oven. When it has
been in for five minutes pour over it
one-quarter of cup of butter, being
careful to haste each piece. Twenty
minutes will cook it if the oven is hot
enough; each piece will be inclosed in
q crisp brown crust. Lay the chicken
on a platter and make cream sauce,
using the melted butter in the drip
ping pan for foundation. Set it on
top of the stove and allow the butter
to become kissing hot; then add two
tablespoonfuls of -four and a liberal
seasoning of pepper and salt. When
stirred smooth, pour in one cup OF

CHINESE SANDWICHES.
They Are Not Com posed of What Con.
mon Prejudice Might Lead
One to suppose.

Patrons OF certain restaurant in
this city frequently call for Chinese
sandwich" and the order is not de-
layed. r
The rrejudiced might suppose that
a Chinese sandwich was made of-well,
never mind, it isn't.
It doesn't seem quite clear why this
particular sandwich should be tagged
with a Monaghan label. In compo-
sition it is more Teutonic than oriental.
In short, it consists of two generous
slices of rye bread spread with finely
chopped raw meat.
That there should be a demand for
such sandwich is not surprising. Ger
mans have for long time relished raw
meat. even without the bread. Posi-
bly, the idea spread from Great Britain
and the continent, where the hospitals
have for years nourished certain pa
tients with raw beef and raw mutton.
The raw beef sandwich has also had
a place in the regimen Of New York
hospitals for long time. The medi-
cal mems theory is that raw meat is
more nourishing and more easily d.
sssted, and is especially adapted to
weak stomachs.

THE CARSON SALLY.
Worst of All Servants, But In Great
Demand in the Homes of Ne.
vada's Capital.

Carson, the capital city of Nevada,
is probably the only city in the coun-
try where the ''hired girl is a squaw.
The eastern tourist is apt to think
that the western Indian is myth.
At Denver he will see him only at
the annual festival. In New Mexico
and Arizona he will find him truly,
but he is the Pueblo Indian living
in his own ancient village. The In
dian of the plains, the hero of from
tier romance, is secluded on the res
ervation. But at Carson he is an all
pervading element of the landscape,
says the Washington Star. In the
mountains round about Carson live
the remnants of three tribes, the
Piutes,. the Washoes and the
Shoshones. They are not upon any
reservation, nor do they receive gov
eminent support. They are absolute
ly free, left in possession of these
sterile uplands, which the white man
does not want. Each day companies
of them come down into Carson, and,
swathed in bright blankets, sit play
ing Piute poker upon every vacant
lot. You will often see the squaws
sewing there also. making garments
of turkey red and other gorgeous cot
tons. The pappooses play about, the
brilliant sun throws out the flaming
scarlet of the blankets and the rich
coppery hues of their skin. It is all
wildly picturesque.
Now it is this picturesque person
age, male and female, who helps to
solve the servant girl problem in Car
son. Other help is scarce and high,
and in spite of the fact that neither
buck nor squaw can ever be pinned
to regular labor, their occasional
services are welcome. To the Carson
housewife every buck is "Jim" and
every squaw is "sally." Sally opens
the kitchen door without the formali-
ty of a knock, and says "Mahayile
(woman), you want work done?'
Or, simply: "Me heap hogadi," which
signifies that she is very hungry, and
desires to work for a meal.
