There is too much bluffing on part
of city officials. the effect being that
the public has caught on and cannot
be worked as it once could. The pres.
emit unsanitary condition Of the city is
reported better than it was q short
time ago. but is not as good as it
should be, or would be If a few war
rants were issued in cases where per.
sons have refused to obey the notices
of sanitary inspections, and fines as
sessed as warnings to others. There are
about five hundred stray dogs running
around on which no tax has been paid,
although we are informed that the
"dog law" will be rigidly enforced.
II few warrants were sworn out and
fines imposed such action would have
more effect on making the people come
up and pay dog tax than all the
threats to get warrants combined.

THE PRESIDENTS POSITION

| LII hhoibEN 10 otAAON'
In "a speech delivered at Danville,
Ill. the president condensed into few
sentences whole theory of govern.
ment. and the applause with which
each proposition was received shows
that the president expressed the views
Of his hearers. Here is the heart OF
this discourse:
This is not and never shall be q gov
eminent of plutocracy. Applause.
This is not and never shall be gov
eminent Of mob. Applause 1t is
a government of liberty by, under and
through the Law (applause), the gov
eminent in which no man is to be per-
mitted either to domineer over the less
well-off or to plumber the better-off.
(Applause.)
1t isa government in which each
man is to be guaranteed his rights,
and in return for which it is to be seen
that he does not wrong his fellow.
(Applause.)
When any executive undertakes to
enforce the law he is entitled to the
support Of every decent man, rich or
poor, no matter what form the law
breaking has taken. He is entitled to
the support Of all men in his efforts.
(Applause.) II he is worth his salt he
will enforce the law whether he gets
the support or not. Two qualities
envy and arrogance-are the two OPP
posite sides Of the same black crystal.
The same attributes which make a
man when powerful tyrannize over
others will make him the agitator and
the revolutionist if he happens TO be
placed az the other end Of the social
scale. / ask you to remember always
that man who breaches to you to do
wrong in your own interest, whether
he breaches it to the man at one end
OF the social scale or to the man at the
other, is equally a menace to the en-
tire community.
Equal privileges before the law that
is the highest object any government
can obtain. More than this is not
possible; less than this should not sat
isfy any party.
The president here expresses the So
Der thought, the serious conclusion,
Of the American people. We do not
have too much wealth in America we
have too little, but while we will give
no tribute to plutocracy, property will
be proteoted from any attack from the
mobS Nuu3tf
There was fear a little while ago
that the Republican party was being
by the rich, and there was
\ growing distrust Of its men and
measures.
That distrust has disappeared. The
Exponent of Republican principles is

Some of the disgruntled politicians
who have been able to get nothing so
far, and want to drop into State Sena-
tor Nc d. Ferguson's shoes, are kick
ing because Senator Ferguson does not
propose to resign until after the No
vember election. which will make it
too late for nominations to be held
and a successor elected in November.
Senator Ferguson is probably not 60
ing to resign as senator now and be
without an Office after the November
election. He is the Democratic NOM
inee for railroad commissioner in this
district, but evidently, from his deter
mination to hold onto what he has
got, sees the signs of the times.

England has found free trade, "
which few people in America profess

obvious that the imposition Of Gus

The first stad OF the New-York market in oIden
times did appear until the sfad in the
Hudson River, but the best. well the first,
sEad now come from North Carolina In the month
Of February. There is some prejudice against
Southern shad, but this North Carolina fish is
sidered by epicures to be equal in flavor to that
caught in the Connecticut River. which. according
10 a NeW-Eu ugander. is saying that II is equal TO
the best shad in the world
There is d familiar rhyme which goes TO show
that Satan exhausted himself in filing the shad
with bones: but the good cook OF to-day
pleteIy overcores the archfiend's rnalevolence by
bonng her shad before she cooks it This is not
a difficult thing 10 do-wtth patience and practice
All the numerous bones in this fish attached 10
the backbone. Order the 1shmonger to draw the
fish without cutting through the backbone. With
small bonng knife draw ouc the fine bones that are
visible and are attached 10 the backbone Under
meath them another Of small bones will be
found. Continue draw them keeping the
knife as close 10 the bone possible without cut
ting the fish disturbing the flesh any more than
necessary When these small bones each side
Of the fish have been drawn out well as the long
backbone which they attached, it will be
found that the fish mas hardly bone left. After
boning Two three shad a housewife Will become
so expert that she viii do the work in short time
and with little trouble
The simplest way TO cook shad is divide il
the backbone and cut each half into three four
pieces. Season the pieces, dip them in -four and
lay them a spider Of steaming hot lard When
they are a rich golden brown one side turn them
on the other. Make little maitre hotel butter
