BEGIN NINGS.

The dinners. of occasions are always
begun with an appetizer of some kind,
and although it seems to be custom
to belong to the last ten years, it Is
really an old one. 1t Is said that the
physician of Louis XIV, who was
gourmand, ordered that he should
first be served with thin slices OF
toast spread with marrow, caviare and
other pungent foods, for the purpose
of appeasing his appetite and con-
serving his health. Thus came about
the introduction Of the canape, Can

and brown bread, sliced very. thin
and cut in various shapes. They may
be toasted, buttered or fried and COW

Cucumber and caviare.-On cir.
cular piece of buttered toast place a
slice of cucumber and In the center
of the cucumber put little caviare.
Anchovy Canapes.-Cut bread in
slices one-quarter of an inch thick,
cut in circles, dip in melted butter,
sprinkle with salt and cayenne;

DO THEY WANT TO ECONOMIZE?

A measure to reduce the mileage
pay of Congressman was before Con-
gress Monday, but the measure was
defeated and the Congressman will
continue to draw ten cents per mile
while they pay only two and one-half.
{ The Democratic politicians seem
perfectly willing to hit some one
else's pocketbook, but when it came
to hitting their own-nay! nay!
Now, if the Democrats wanted to
economic, as they claim they do,
why didn't they vote to reduce the
mileage pay to members to actual
cost. They could have even added
one cent per mile to actual cost of
railroad ticket in order to pay for
riding in elegant Pullman cars and
then reduced the mileage pay so as
to save the government 61s to Z
cents per mile on their pay-but
they didn't do it.

did not raise their voice against the
same frauds and corruptions com
mited in the last election
For long time it was the creed
OF the Democratic machine that they
were justified in stealing votes and
committing frauds against the negro
After the negro was DISTINGUISHED
the Democratic balIot-box stuffing
machine kept up the same methods
against Republicans. and now they
are taking the same methods in try
ing to steal Offices from each other in
Democratic primaries.
In this connection, it is we'll to re-
call that Supreme Court Justice Gar
rison of New Jersey, in q charge to
the grand jury at Camden few
months ago, said:
"One single suppression by
fraud or force of the right of
suffrage strikes at the institution
of government more than would
any number of assassinations of
Presidents, or judges, or any 9TH
er set of officials"
This bold declaration from the
bench by this judge caused the or
gans of some of the Democratic bal
lot-box stuffing machines in the South
to vince, and some of them went so
far as to openly criticise the Judge
for using such vigorous language to
protect the purity of the ballot which

HYPOCRISY EXPOSED.

When the Democrats in the House
OF Representatives were pressing
their bill providing for the publica-
ton of campaign expenses before the
election. Mr.. Johnson. a progressive
Republican from Kansas. offered an
important amendment. The sub
stance of the amendment was TO pro-
vide that expenses incurred by both
parties in party primaries should also
be published lie showed that there
were number OF Congressional Dis
tricts, especially in the South, where
there was no real fight on the day Of
election between the parties.
lie pointed out the fact that there
were many districts so overwhelming
Iy controlled by one party that the
only fight TO determine who should
be Congressman was the fight in the
primaries, at which time there would
twenty thousand or more in a dis
trict, but when once the contest in
the primaries was settled that the
vote on the day Of election would not
be more than two or three thousand
in number.
He further pointed out that if the
purpose of this bill was to secure
purity in the elections by the pub
licity of money spent in securing the
election of Congressman, that then
it was Of the greatest Importance that
the money spent in the primaries
which settled who would be elected
should be also published.
This proposition was so fair and
vitality important to any effective bill
for the publicity of campaign ex-
penses, that there was no answer that
could be made to the argument, and
upon a vote the House adopted the
amendment,
Another amendment also offered,
to the effect that not only should the
persons who contributed campaign
funds in the primaries, as we'll as at
the elections, be named, but that each
one should be required to state
whether or not this was his own
money, and if not, from what sources
the money contributed by him was
derived. This was also so fair that
no argument could be made in oppo-
siton, and it was adopted.
These two amendments greatly rat
tied the Democratic House, and the
result was that they proceeded to
have the bill re-committed, and these
amendments were stricken out and
the bill reported back without them
This performance shows how little
real sincerity there is in the position
assumed by the Democrats that they
are in favor of publicity as to cam
paign contributions in order to ele
vate and purify politics.
