To Peel Onions.

1t is a good plan to put onions into.a
bowl and to pour hot water over them.
This enables one to peel them very
quickly and without tears. Another
good way is to put them in cold water
and hold them beneath the surface dur
ing the peeling. This method may not
be so rapid as the first, but 1t also pre-
vents tears.

Weekly Letter on the
New York Situation by
- Hon. Henry m. Mcdonald.

president Roosevelt and the republic
can New York state convention. The
letter of acceptance Is vigorous, IN
cisive, straight-out document. The
president stands snuarely upon the
record of his party and himself. While
one may disagree entirely with repub-
lican principles and policies, and may,
to use the terse language of Watson,
fight them (the republicans) to the
end" the manner in which the presi-
dent and the leaders of his party have,
so to speak, nailed their flag to the
mast is admirable. In striking con-
trast is the policy OF Mr., Parker.
backed by his advisers in amending the
st. Louis platform by his Infamous gold
telegram, in emasculating. as shown in
a previous letter, the platform there
adopted and in shifting from ti1de to
time, as he and his advisers have been
attacked, every position which they
have taken thus far in the campaign.
1t has now reached point where the
only issue upon which the democratic
party managers are willing to stand Is
that OF Rooseveltism. The traditional
principles OF the party have all bccn
thrown to the rear. and the fight Is
now being waged against Mr. R0osc-
welt as an individual No candidate
has ever won the presidency where the
issue has been made the personality Of
his opponent Like failure Will cer-s
tainly follow the policy being pursued
! by Mr.. Parker's managers.
The republican state convention held
at Saratoga on the 18th instant, nOm1-
mated very respectable ticket, headed
by present Lieutenant Governor Hig-
gins for governorshfp.
In closing, may say that while the
ticket nominated by the republicans In
this state is not what might be termed
strong, yet it is respectable. and all.
though 1t may not add any votes to
Mr.. Roosevelt, it will not take any
| from him. 1t simply leaves the con-
test in this state in the situation that
1t has been up to date, namely, close
and doubtful in its result. The demo-
Gratis hold their state convention on
Tuesday next, the goth instant. The
result Of that convention, of which
will tell you in my next letter. Will
have great influence in determining
whether Roosevelt or Parker will carry
the state.

new York, Sept 17.-EditGr inde-
pendent: The peoples democratic par
ty of New Jersey held. as indicated IN
my last letter. their state convention
at Atlantic City On the 10TH ihStant.
Over 100 delegates representing every
county in the state except ont, were
present. The managers OF tie celno-
cratic party of New Jersey stlIndatea,
it said, by considerable amcnht OF
money furnished by the democI atlc
national executive committee, attempt
ed to pack the convention. Iney sue
ceeded in introducing ten or Twelve
facile and easy mouthed lawyers who
tried to wear the convention out ny
long continued speeches. They did not,
however, succeed as the peoples party
men firmly suppressed these orators
and placed the convention on EliSl-
ness basis.
The convention nominated by undnl-
nous vote, George A. Horneckel OF
Jersey City for governor, which is the
only state officer to be elected this
year. Mr.. Hornecker is a lawyer, hay-
ing a large and successful practice. lie

Mr.. BRYAN in both 1896 and 1890, being
regarded as one of the most effective

He will undoubtedly poll the full radi-
cal vote in the state OF New Jersey.
The nomination OF electors Was re-
ferred to a committee consisting or
James A. Edgerton, Albert S. Dulin,
Marion Owen, John Ranch, aud Ed
mund A. Whittier. This is repfesen-
tatiye committee, and will unluestlon-
ably select an electoral ticket COM
posed OF staunch and able radicals.
The platform, which, is high class
political paper, declares that I'VE de-
cline to follow the lead OF commercial
politicians into the camp Of Wall street,
and refuse to recognize the Hills, the
Sheehans and the Belmonts as proper
opponents of popular rights.
eve vigorously resent the attempt by
these minions of special privileges to
deliver the party of the common people
to the enemies of the common PEOPLE.
1.-The attempt to achieve success at
the expense of principle is not only
destructive of patriotism and the pub
lie conscience, but approaches, If it
! does not cross, the fine of deceit and
dishonesty In the republic, the POLL
tical party which no longer aspnes to
be right threatens the very existence
OF free institutions.
.'That it was the deliberate intent
OF the managers of the ST. Louis con-
venton to deceive the people is proven
by the fact that in no essential particu-
lars do the platforms of the dominant
par ties differ nor do we find heroism
in the act of candidate. WHO, by

endorse the candidacy of Thomas r.
Watson for the Office Of president OF
the United States; and OF Thomas H.
Tibbles for the Office OF vice prcsl-
dent of the United States"
The platform continues by pronounc-
ing in favor of the public ownership OF
railways and of telegraphs; the adop-
ton of the system of initiative and
referendum; the regulation OF the hours
of labor by the government, the es-
tablishment of unbiased courts Of ar
bitration to settle disputes between
employer and employe, and the election
of United States senators by the people,
radicals can stand. There arc thou
sands of New Jersey democrats who
are greatly incensed against the demo-
cratic party on account OF theil repre-
sentatiyes being deprived by the most
irregular and high-handed methods OF
their seats in the state convention
which elected delegates in the st. Louis
convention.
The Evening Mail of this city, in
commenting upon this condition, says:
THE Watson people are naturally TAX
ing advantage Of the situation, as the
Georgia candidate promises to poll an
Unexpectedly large vote. The Bryan
counties are rounding up for him. The
Watson boom, started by Warbeaoe OF
Sussex county, mentioned in the Even
ing Mail OF Friday. is spreading. The
nomination of George A. Hornecktr by
the Saturday convention, means join
ing of forces on the gubernatorial tick
ct by the Watson men and the indie
pendent democrats Robert Laws OF
Hudson county, is the undisputed dem
ocratic leader at the moment. He will
probably run the convention on Thurs
day, the 18th instant. to suit his
wishes. Davis will go to the conyen-
ton at the head Of large and en-
thusiastic delegation for Charles c.
Black, the choice of Hudson county for
the nomination for governor
The prediction OF the Mail as tc
Davis running the convention, turned
out to be correct. as he nominated Mr.
Black without opposition. | may say
that Mr.. Black is classmate Of mine
having graduated from Princeton uni
versity in the same year. He is an
eminent lawyer of high character, thor.
oughly honest and fearless IN every re-
spect. He is. however, an uitra-con-
sentative. He voted against Mr.. Bry'
an in 1896, and If he cast his ballo'

that no one knew anything about 1t.
Although, as l have indicated, MIR.
Black is close friend and man Tor
whom have great admiration, shall
endeavor to defeat him by giving all
the aid and comfort | can to the man
ayers OF the peoples party in New
jersey.
In this connection may say, that
am thoroughly opposed to fusion on
any candidate nominated by tue iepub-
lican or democratic parties, or tie en-
dorsement OF such candidates. Putting
the matter on the low ground OF eAped-
lency alone, the policy Of fusiur and
endorsement when pursued by any
party. has always proved fatal. I'm
questiunaDly, had the peoples party
maintained it's integrity in 1886 and
in 1900, instead OF merging itself With
the democratic party, 1t would have
been much stronger with the people to-
day. In fact, believe, had the policy
which | have stated been pursued, and
had the democratic national convention
! OF this year taken the course which 1t
did at ST. Louis, the peoples party
would have polled at least the second
largest vote in this campaign, and quite
possibly have elected its candidate for
the presidency.
AS a matter OF fact, the lines must
henceforward be drawn closely. The
voters of the country are divided into
two camps, the "standpattets, name
lily those who desire continuance OF
present conditions, and the radicals,
namely those who are earnestly in ia
vor Of the election OF executives and
| legislators who will make the prlncl-
pies OF the peoples party platform ef-
| fectiye.
| The opinion to which have just
referred, is rapidly taking possession
OF the minds of many OF the most care
full thinkers of the country, as Is lndi-
Gated by the following extract from
the Washington, D. c.. Post tind) OF
recent date. The Post says. William
IL. Bryan of Nebraska and Thomas e.
Watson of Georgia, are the only prom
ising possibilities yet in sight Tor the
leadership of the radical party the
formidable organization, made up OF

bound to be evolved from existing con-
ditions? The Post claims no special
gift OF prophecy, but judges the future
By the past. applying the instruction
derived from that which has been to

that the conditions Of 1904 are a decree
that such party will be in the field In

cal people to maintain two great
parties-the two leading and competing
parties-whose only serious difference
or contention relates to the pcisOnal-
titles OF presidential candidates"
