But there Is s,ill greater uncertainty as to the prlblbis candidate for president There are those who desire to nominate a man who refused to support BY'n ln IS06 or 1000. Others want a candidate prom insntly identified with the silver battle Of tSo6. while those who favor a compromise on the platform, want a compromise can dliate. They are seeking a man who has the confidence ot the people Of the East. who also supported Bryan in both campaigns, and there seems a strong prob- ability that the fall elections will give them a popular candidate In the person of Robert E. Pl,tson, whom thslT party has just nominated for governor of Psnnsyl- vanla ior the third term. Gov. PatllsOn has been twice chosen governor of the re- pubIie,n state Of Pennsvlvanil. lf he should win for the third time, his friends win have much reason Go urge h's avail ability for the presidency Gov.

ro nron nAeon.

Brolled bacon Is a dish which in few bouseholds deserves the adjective, be- cause it Is seldom brolled; the fat is fried out of it and again soaked Into lt by long sputtering in a spider full of grease.
 The only way to cook bacon-both for the matter of appearance and for digestive qualities-is to broil it' not 5vor a bed of coals Qt is too fat for that), but in a very hot oven. Cut the bacon in the most delicately thin slices possible, rejecting the rind. Lay the pieces close together in fine wire broller. Place it over a dripping pan and set in e hot oven. It requires to be turned just once Tho fat which falls Into the pan makes excellent drlpplngs for frying potatoes.
 Drain the bacon on brown paper, If you wish to serve calfs liver with thiS sprinkle tho liver with pepper md salt. roll it in -four and fry brown In the bacon drippings. Serve with a curled rsorsel of bacon on top of each piece of liver. Bacon as served by tho average cook, well soaked in grease, Is the most indigestible of food: when broiled crisp in the oven. it is a dish that may be served even for a child of two years with impunity. Among au the fats dellcately crlspcd bacon ranks next to cream In case of digestion.

NATIONAL POLITICS.

The political activity Inciient Go the opening of the campaign throughout Che country preceding the flll elections, has added new in,srss, to ,he question ss to the line up for the grsa, presidential battle that win come of two wears hence. The congressional election which occurs mid way between the presidential ele.t.on, usually furnishes a b-ss from which Co forecast the issues and the personnel of the tickets for the ensuing election. The po- li,lcal situation now Is more Interesting than lt any time since the days before the famous campaign oi ISo6. The issues and the ticket for 1000 were forsgors conclu- slons There wss no time before 1000 when lt was not evident that McKinlev would be ren0mlna,ed and that his record would be the republican platform. On the other hand, the renomlnluon Ji Bryan by the democrats upon a platform satisfactory Co him, was never In toubt from lhs close Of the battle in IS96, and till opening of ths succeeding campaign.
 nNow It Is different. While Roosevelt Is an ayowsd elndlie,s to succeed himself and has the support ot a great body of his plrty, there Is determined opposition to his nomination, lead by such stlIwlrt men as Senators Hannl, ElkIns, Plit, and Fair banks. The result of ths contss, wlIl ie. pend entirely upon the events Of the next two years.
 The condition of the democratic party Is even more uncertain than that Of the rs- publican. They are at sea, not only as tO candidates. bu, also as so ,hsIr platform. There arc three factions The "Clsvs landitss," the ''Bvaniiss" and those who urge a compromise. The probabilities are
