Cocoanut Cakes.

These are made as follows: Moisten
two cups of sugar with the milk of the
cocoanut or water, and boil to a soft
ball degree, when tested in cold water.
Then stir in as much freshly grated
cocoanut as the syrup will moisten,
stirring only enough to moisten, or it
will granulate. Drop a spoonful at a
time on oiled papers. The cakes should
be fiat and about two inches in diam
eter.
A simpler method is to mix pound
of freshly grated cocoanut with half a
pound of confectioner's sugar and the
stiff beaten white of an egg. Work
thoroughly together and then form into
little cakes and bake in buttered tins.

ATRUsT VICTORY.

THE OMNIBUS STATEHOOD BILL
is dead as a door nail for this ses-
sion. if the Washington dispatches re-
port the situation accurately. The long
winded palaver about the bill was de-
signed by the Republicans to prevent
discussion of trust measures and
evade responsibility for the failure to
carry out the wishes of the people who
have been demanding legislation to re-
strain illegal monopolies-
1t was not to be expected that a Re
publican senate would do anything in
antagonism to the trusts, which con-
tribute most to- Republican campaign
funds, but after the presidents declara-
tons on the subject and in view of the
popular demand for relief from oppres-
sion at the hands of monopolies, it was
supposed that the party leaders would
make some sort of pretense at legisIa-
ton to meet the situation.
The only thing in this line is the
Elkins bill to prevent secret rebates,
which in effect is a disguised repeal of
and really serves to prevent effective
prosecution ef offenses under former
laws.
The net result of the anti-tr talk
so far, then. is minus quantity on the
statute books and the continued exclu-
sion of Arizona and New Mexico from
the statehood which was promised
them by the Republican national plat
form
Incidentally, the Mormens, as a people
and as a church. have been dubbed
day after day by the opponents of
statehood. who pretended TO believe
that the admission of Arizona would
mean the establishment of a poIyga-
nous hierarchy in control of the new
state and the extension of Mormon
methods and practices which they de-
scribed as a menace to American in
stitutions.
The whole Republican record In the
senate debate on the statehood bill is
about as pitiful an exhibition of dis
honesty and insincerity as ever dis
graced the halls of the greatest legis-
lative body in the world.

TO PREVENT "TELEscoPINe.' IS

n GORGE Z. DICKSON, Chicago
u railroad man, has patented
device which he hopes viii do away
with the horror known as "telescoping
in railroad disasters. 1t is fact well
known that in collisions where trains
crash into each other at a high rate
Of speed cars are forced together in
much the same fashion as the draws
of a telescope are closed. Hundreds of
people have been killed because a car
ahead Of them or car behind them
was jammed through the car in which
they were riding.
Mr.. DicksOp's invention has at least
the merit Of novelty. He proposes to
build passenger cars with angular or
curved ends. SO that when they are on
a straight track the ends will not be, as
now. at right angles with the track,
but viii stand at another angle. These
beveled ends viii. it is claimed. defect
the cars in case of collision and pre-
vent "telescoping" Further describing
the device. writer in Railway and Lo-
connective Engineering says:
ITO put it another way, if the cars
were represented by line of men in
Indian file. all facing north before the
accident, the position assumed after
collision would be approximately repre-
scented by the line of men standing each
three-quarters of a turn to the right
Details of the scheme provide for the
protection of the sides of the cars from
being crushed in, and also means to
prevent the cars jumping upon one an
other"
With all due respect to Mr.. Dickson,
who is doubtless very competent and
practical railroad man. The Herald does
not believe his invention will, if gen
orally adopted. result in a reduction of
the fatalities caused by railway col
lisions. If every railroad in the United
States ran over perfectly fiat prairie
land, there might be hope of averting
disaster by the use of what, for lack
! of better name, may be called angle
ended cars.
Unfortunately, though, all of our rail-
road lines are not constructed over
prairie country. Some of them rise
dizzily into mountains over high en-
bankments and frail-looking trestIes.
Some pass through long tunnels and
over lofty bridges. If a collision be-
tween trains made up of Dickson cars
occurred on a bridge. a trestle, an en-
| bankment or in tunnel, there wouldn't
be much hope Of escape for any pas
| senger.
Apparently Mr.. Dickson has not
solved the problem he set out to solve.

THE ST. LOUIS FAIR BILL.

IT He HERALD is d strong believer In
the principle that public funds
should be disbursed with the most rigid
economy. No member of the Iegisla-
ture has any right TO vote for expendi-
lures that he would not make from his
own bank account if he we're situated
so that he could make them. The BUSH
ness of the state should be conducted
on strict business principles. the same
principles that would apply in the OPP
Grafton OF a private enterprise.
There are times. however, in the af-
fairs of states as well as of men. when
At becomes necessary to make an un-
usual showing. Such time has come
TO Utah in connection with the apprv-
priation for the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition at St Louis next year. The
senate has already passed a bill APP
prepriating $4,000 for a Utah exhibit
st this. the greatest exposition I'm the
world since the Worlds fair at Chi
