Editor Of Democrat:
 To what straits the city republicans are reduced is evident from the col umns of this mornings Republican. In an article on Bessette, the republican nominee for senator, 1t gives taffy ga lore to the French of the fourth ward. It can hardly forget that the present administration has overlooked the French and has not treated them as well as they deserve, but it says to them: Forget it now and be good and well, 1t makes no promises and so does not compromise the party. But the French have long memories and good ones, and they will not forget that they worked hard for the present city administration, yet when the plums were given out, what did they get? Nothing, with 8. big N.
 The appeal to vote for Bessette be cause he is a good Catholic and church worker Is rather ingenious, but 1t leaves one factor out of considera- ton, viz, that MT Phelan is all this. A good, practical Catholic he is and ever has been, one who Is engaged in the most practical sort of Catholic church work, devoting his talents to the in
 
 Republicans article one would think that MT Phelan had renounced his faith or had suddenly become bad Catholic. The Catholic is surely a great fellow about election time. not only the Irish, but the French Catho- lie. The diplomatic appeal to John Hurley is indeed amusing. But John is too old war horse to be caught by such .chaff He knows tod well the motive that is back of it. Beaten hon. orably and fairly in caucus, he is too game a sport not to accept defeat in graceful manner and not work for party that would soQn make short work of John if 1t got the chance.
 Under the caption "Hot Air'' MT Lawson gets a drubbing and his whole series of articles is summed up in the slangy phraseology, "Hot Air" Yet only few weeks ago and the Republ1- can quoted him editoially as strong reason why the people should vote for Roosevelt It made its article pow erful plea against the trusts, but since the trusts have swallowed Roosevelt we don't hear so much about them in republican papers. Was Lawson's ar ttcIe tslot air' a few weeks ago? If so, 1t is strange that it should be quoted and commented upon as plea for Roosevelt. But circumstances alter cases, and now that the trusts are com ing up handsomely with the "coin of the realm what was before forcible arraignment of democrats because Par ker would favor the trusts has sudden ly melted away into ''hot air" because the trusts have gulped down Roose- welt Consistency is indeed a jewel, but 1t shines only upon the brow of truth.

 exactly from the Bulletin of the Blu reau of Labor, No 5. July, 1904" page 70S, a document published by the re- publican administration and, of course, not to be questioned by the COurant
 The increasing high cost of living in recent years is a very tender subject in the public mind. and particularly unfortunate subject for the republican press to refer to. The control of the great staples of life, as iron, cotton and food stuffs, by combinations of capital, with the resulting manipyiIa- tfon of prices for the gain of the mon opolists and the burden of the people has been made possible more by the republican policies Of special legisla- ton for corporate interests than by any other cause. The situation in that re- spect is legitimate outcome of repub- Iican policies. The republican party will not change it-in spite of repeat ed promises to do so, it stands pat. :" Senator Davis, the democratic nom- inee for vice president, illustrates the situation clearly by the familiar and

The question came up as to whether the $25 per diem forfeit of Contractor Ashborn for not having the work on the Driggs school finished as per con- tract, came up and it was decided that as the contractor had been hipdered on account of causes over which he had no control, that the forfeit not be collected from him. It amounted to $1. .575. The months bills were high, but there was enough on hand to square up and little to spare.
 The board accepted an invitation from the department of safety to re- view the parade of the police and fire departments on October IA.

UP TO THE CoURANT.
It Refuses to Correct an Incorrect
 Statemant.

Statemant.
 The Hartford Courant made sonic charges against the new pfg59 Rgnnf, Allen B. Lincoln, of the state demo cratic committee, and also pub lished some figures. MT Lincoln asked a correction, but the Courant would not give 1t. Here is the reply ot the press agent and the letter the Courant refused to publish:
 The Hartford Courant does not ap- pear to be willing to correct it's own misstatements. Tn it's notice of the press bureau esta blished at democrat ic headquarters, the Courant said:
 "One of the duties of the press agent and assistant will be to explain pamphlet that is given away at head quarters and which says that from 1890 to 1899 eggs advanced 25.3 per cent and salt pork 39.S''
 This department was prompt to ac- cept the challenge and offered the Courant the communication given be- low, but that was another story, and the Courant refused to give any space to the correction of it's error. Follow ing is the communication which the Courant refused:
 Editor The Courant:
 Thank you for the courteous editor ia1 reference to democratic press bu- reau appointments. I note your invi- tation to explain how it is that "from 1890 to 1899 eggs advanced 25.3 per cent and salt pork 39.S." There is no need of explaining what everybody knows by sad experience-nameiy. the increased cost of living.
 Ton misquote, however, the pamph- let you refer to. It shows 'tthe price of things labor buys increased by 1O.3 3 per cent over the average from 1890 to 1S99," and then gives the respective percentage of increase up to and 1n- cluding 1903, as follows:

Prefer Dried Vegetables,

After two years in Alaska, living in
4 mining camp boarding house, H. C.
Conroy, who has come down here to
spend the winter, was hunting through
grocery and provision stores in
search of Oregon desiccated sour
vegetables, He was unable to find my,
but insisted that he had been using sour
made from them in Alaska all the time
he had been there. When told that even
If this was so, there was no use for such
stuff here now, as the markets were full
of all kinds of vegetables, he said he
had become accustomed to the dried
vegetables and liked them better than
the fresh ones, because they afforded a
iine variety of seven different kinds and
were ready to put in the pot at once. He
finally found a man who had heard of
the d~isintegrated, desiccated vegetables
he was searching for, and said they were
out up for shipment to Alaska by a man
at Dayton, but they had never been in
troduced in the market here, partly be-
cause there was no demand for them, but
mostly because there had never been
any more made than the Alaskan mar
ket demanded.-Portland Oregonian.

GASTRONOMIC WISDOM.
Points of Information Concerning
Bread, Cake and Meat in
the Oven.

Study to discover the hottest and
coolest places in the oven, then watch
things while they are baking and turn
about till rising is finished and
the cake or bread is level, then leave
to brown. Remember, though, that
all movement made of such food must
be the gentlest touch possible. If you
jerk a cake or muffin suddenly, it is
ruined, says Good Housekeeping.
Never use white of an egg for a
meringue, cake or anything you wish
particularly light, if the merest speck
Of yolk gets into it. Put it away for
coffee or other use. 1t might be
whipped for hours and it would not
froth.
Do not leave the dripping pan over
which meat has been broiled covered
with fat in the bottom of the lower
" 1t will be forgotten, and when
the oven burners are lighted there
will surely be a blaze of burning fat.
Be sure that the stove you buy has
an asbestos lined oven. If it has only
sheet iron sides, more heat will be
thrown out in the kitchen than is re-
tanned in the oven. A good asbestos
lining will give you a cool kitchen
and a hot oven.

CHANGE IN CALIFORNIA.
The Last Few Years Have Brought
About Many Things New aud
Strange on the Coast.

That was an interesting-nay, epoch
marking-item of news buried in the
treasury department budget recently,
to wit, that heavy and unprecedented
shipments of copper cents have recently
been made to San Francisco and other
Pacific coast cities. These shipments,
says the New York Commercial Adver-
User, coming as they do on the heels of
bill introduced into congress by a Cali
fornia member for the coinage of one
cent pieces at the San Francisco mint.
leave but one opinion possible, an end
has come to that fine largeness of pecu-
mary view which SO long forbade any
son, or even resident, of "the coast" see
ing any coin smaller than five cents.
An irresistible force for conformity Is
ironing out the peculiarities which one
time pleasingly differentiated regions
and peoples. Everywhere, even in the
remote islands of the sea, women are
wearing hats and dresses fashioned ac-
cording to Partisan models; the tall hat
and the frock coat encircle the globe;
mankind, except where China has sue
cessfully fenced out progress, eats alike,
drinks alike, thinks alike; journey
around the earth and you will find nc
port where you cannot use your golf
sticks, no retreat where the prevailing
mode has not penetrated, no land which
has not been touched by the hand of uni
formity. A new commandment has been
given to the sons of Adam and it is that
all men shall approximate to pealike
similarity and repose in ordered rows in
the same kind of pods.
California, which started out with the
theory that there should be no money OF
account smaller than the "two-bit"
piece, persisted therein during the brave
days of the argonauts, but grudgingly
granted admission to the nickel and
vowed this was the limit of concession,
For more than a generation it stood its
ground nobly and barred the intrusive
penny with concerted opposition. With
what fine sarcasm did Californians ask:
whats that" when tourists ventured
to lay a copper coin on a counter. I'VE
make only even change" was the answer
when alien thrift, ever when it bought
a postage stamp, sought to give or re
ceive it's copper due. 1t passed into 3
tradition that it was disloyaliy but little
above anarchy to recognize the existence
of the coin which bears the visage and
carries the color of the Indian.
But the tides of change bave beaten
on California and its resistance has
crumbled under the insidious advances.
The women, 1t appears, have betrayed
the state. When the department store
came their virtue was not proof against
the allurement of placards such as:
"This size for So. go" The disintegration
of the once robust custom once begun,
1t soon crumbled, with the unhappy re-
suit noted above, that all the coast is
now clamoring for copper, while the
present day San Franciscan demands his
penny changed with all the energy Of a
New Yorker who splits a nickel to buy
a penny paper.

INDIAN DISCIPLINE.
1t Ia Deemed Highly Becoming in a
Warrior to BE Careful of
His Manners.

No people are possessed of a greater
share of natural politeness than the
Indians, wrote Isaac Weld in 1899; they
will never interrupt while another is
speaking; nor, if one has told them any
thing which they think to be false, will
they bluntly contradict him. They
deem it highly becoming in a warrior
to accommodate his to those
of the people with whom he may hap
pen to be. The following anecdote is
told by Mr.. Weld in How Our Grand
fathers Lived"
Our friend, Nekig, The Little Otter,
had been invited to dine with us at the
house of a gentleman at Detroit, and
he came accordingly, accompanied by
his little son, a boy of nine or ten years.
After dinner a variety of fruits was
served, and among the rest were some
peaches, a dish of which was handed to
the young Indian.
HE helped himself to one with be-
coming propriety; but Immediately
afterward he put the fruit to his mouth
and bit a piece out of it.
"The father eyed him with indigna-
ton, and spoke some words to him in
a low voice, which | could not under
stand, but which, on being interpreted
by n of the company, proved to be
a warm reprimand for his having been
SO deficient in observation as not to
peel his peach, as he saw the gentleman
opposite him had done.
"The little fellow was extremely
ashamed of himself; but he quickly re-
trieved his error by drawing a plate
toward him and peeling the fruit with
the greatest neatness.
Some drink to which he was after
ward helped, not being by any means
agreeable to his palate, the little fell
low made a wry face, as a child might
naturally do. This called forth another
reprimand from the father, who told
him that he despaired of ever seeing
him a great man or a good warrior il
he appeared thus to dislike what his
host had kindly given him. The boy
took the rest of his drink with seeming
pleasure"

DUCKS LEFT THE CHESAPEAKE
Great Blizzard of 1SSS and Subsequent
Flood Ruined Their Feed
ing Grounds.

In 1883, the year Of the great blizzard,
the mighty northwest storm of March
II fairly blew the water out of the broad
shallow estuaries of Chesapeake bay,
and the fierce cold that came with il
froze the naked mud of the bottom
the garden soil of the juicy grasses that
have made the Chesapeake redhead and
canvasback ducks known to connois-
seurs of the world. When the tides CANE
back they raised bodily this frozen floor
OF the river, tearing up tea grass and
tape grass by the roots. This, says
Country Life in America, ruined the
feed over many square miles of the
choicest duck pasture in America.
In the very next year another convul.
sion Of nature, a disastrous flood, bore
down the Susquehanna river unprece-
dented masses of earth and debris, that
covered what feed was left, and about
completed the destruction. The year
utter the blizzard the ducks appeared in
normal numbers, but found not what
hey came for, and the Chesapeake
shooting has never fully recovered from
these two disasters. The wise ones OF
the ducking waters have figured it out
that after a year or two only young
birds were left, and these did not even
know the way to the Maryland pastures
1t was a curious sight, in the early
'9O's, and later, too, when stray bodies
of migratory ducks reached the favor1te
coves, alighted with confidence and ap-
petite, and after 80 seconds Of fruitlesa
diving lit out from those waters as il
they were boiling.

Prof. Alexander H. Phillips, of Prince
ton, is reported to have stated that
radium exists in this country in carnol-
tie, an ore from Utah. The professor
found on experimenting that from rs
pounds of carnolite a sample of radio
active barium chloride can be obtained
which will give about 1900 activity. This
activity, while not so powerful as that
obtained from some European ores, is
sufficient for many practical purposes.
A company has been formed to place
this new substance upon the market,
and it is expected that it can be pro-
duced in paying quantities. Carnolite,
while not a very common ore, is found
in good quantities in Utah, and very
likely in other places in the Rocky
mountains Scientific American.
