Tur.uK is sonic dilToranco botwosn hav
ing oliicoa and having them to got. That
is what troubloi the democratic oQlco-
Bookers ,
THE cnros of atnto already wolgh heav
ily upon llojs Boyd. Do fools the ipavo
responsibility In ladling fodornl pap to
the hungry nnd thirsty.
THEY all want to tarn the rascals out.
Thnt ia the only point upon which the
Nebraska democratic atnto contra ! oora-
mittco and the hordea of oflico-aoekcrs
were unauimoualy harmouions.
THEUE is no lack of candldatca for
Garland's Arkansas aonatorlal thooa.
There are eight aipirauta In the field ,
with a dozen moro to take the plno of
any who may fall by the wavaldo.
TIIE national commlaalonor of labor
atatitlss , who labors principally with hla
jaw , rocommonda that thrcoBpocial agents
bo sent to Europe to Investigate the labor
question in all ita ramifications. This ia
providing a pleasure tour for three gentlemen -
tlomon of lolauro that Is equal to Senator
Mandoracm s proposed Investigation trip
to Alaska. There are many stat'sUclans
who are anxious to tuko such mi excur
sion.
TirnitE Is nothing like having .a well-
organized militia aftar all. So thinks
Governor Sherman , of Iowa , who em
ployed the tnllith in the battle against
Auditor Brown , whom ho compelled to
surrender. The governor will no doubt
recommend to the iiaxt legislature that
the militiamen ongigod in this three
minutes war bo pensioned.
THE democratic state central commit-
ioo failed to agrco upon a plan of distrib
uting the federal patronage. Every cfliso
seeker ia thus loft free to scramble for
petition according to own his ideal. Secre
tary May will now return nil the applica
tions that have been fllod-wlth him in
caaa aulliclont postage stamps are sent to
him by the applicants.
THE atato of Kansas has resolved from
the secretary of the United States the
sum of $333,308 , appropriated by congress -
gross as a remuneration for oxpcnsoa in
curred in repelling Indian invasions. It
strikes us that if Kansas could got thai
amount of money for old Indian claims ,
Nobraekti ought to got about a million
clollaro. She has had about three times
as many Indian invasions as Kansas.
TIIK controversy between the governor
of Iowa and the auditor has taken a now
and Interesting turn. The governor
called to hla nld a tquad of militia with
which ho forcibly captured the auditor's
oflicj , ejected Auditor Brown , and put
Air. Cnttcl , the auditor pro tern , in
possession. No blood was shod , and at
last accounts the govoraor'a forces were
holding the fort. The affair , of course ,
creates great excitement , and public
opinion is divided over the governor's
action. In all probability the governor
was acting advisodiy , and will ba sustain
ed by the authorities. He has l > 3cn
correct BO fur ia hi ) proceedings , and as
to this last act , ha claims that aa Brown
was holding the oflico without bond or
security to the state , ho felt It his duty
to take poj sassion by force.
UNFORTUNATELY there is no immediate
prospect of agreement between the city
council and the county commissioners
with referJiica ( o the old court house
property. The wrangle may continue f r
Boveral years. Meantime the property
will remiln unimproved without yield
ing a dollar of revenue io the ci'y ' or
county. Inasmuch aa the city Includes
about seven-tenths of the valuation of
tbo county , it would ba more sensible for
the commissioners and tbo city council
to arrive at some nndomtandlng , whereby
the city can coma into absolute- and nn-
disputed possession of the old court house
property and the county can secure suui-
clent funds with which to pay for the re
taining walls and approaches of the new
court honeo. So long aa the title Is dis
puted the county will have diflisnlty In
making a tale. Whatever the opinion
of Mr. Co win may bo , the fact that the
city proposes to contest the title will In
Itself bo a cloud , and no buslnosa man Is
likely to make the purchase. Meanwhile
the city la no bettor off , the new court
house banks are caving In , the build
ing la likely to be damaged , and tbo city
cflicea remain in an old rookery. There
ii ono way out of the dlllicuHy which Is
feuiblc , and that is to make an exchange
that will glvo to tie commissioners nn
amount tbat will satisfy ( hem and at the
eamo Urns give ( o the city 132 feet of
f round upon which It cm build a city
hall at DO distant day.
CITY ELECTION.
Ever alnco Boss Tweed and hla oirrapt
gang were deposed and diivon from
power by n general uprising of the Ux-
pnylng citlzonn regardless of parly there
has been a tendency In nearly all the
largo cities of the United Slntas ij disre
gard p&rty conventions for the purpose
f dealing honest and competent busi-
ess men to muncipal ofllccs. The tntinl
uothod penned has been far lending tax
aycrs and business men to organize com
mittees of safety and cltizans' ntsocii
Ion ? . Public notice is then given for
mottlnga to discuss and toloct candidates
when the choice In finally or
Ivcd at alter duo deliberation an appeal
a made to tbo people of all classes to
iiipport the citizens' ticket. It is sslf-
vldont that the candidates put
brward on such n. tlckol
re not chosen from among boss
politicians. The movement which haa
taken placa In Omahn this spring ,
under the proionsa tint it was
designed to put in the field n citizens
Ickot , cannot in any sense bo rcgatdcc
as a non-partisan affair. No asioctatton
of tax-payers representing the various
elements among our voters has been or
ganized , No public meetings were hole
to propose and dUousa candidates. A
petition was circulated by a few persons
frlonds of Mr. James E. Boyd urgin
him to accept the position of mayor , and
as wonro informed , numerous tigmturo
were obtained by appeals that the city
musb bo saved from Hascall. Havinj
nominated Mr. Boyd by petition a ratifi
cation mooting was hold at the Acidum ;
of Music , and Mr. Boyd wai doclarcc
duly nominated as n citizens' candidate
While it was given out to the public tha
this was a spontaneous uprising , the cou
duet of the managers of the ratification
mooting would indicate that machine
politicians wore bohlnd the screen t <
gnido the non-partisan citizens. Th
mooting waa called to order on double-
quick standard tima. Within twont ;
minutes Mr. Boyd was not only rattiiei
and notified , but his tpooch of acooptanc
waa duly delivered. The curtain wa
rung down and the lights were turnoi
off before Pat Ford's brasi band couli
get there to play "Hail to the Chief. "
Norrit strikes us that there was altogether
gothor too much method , design and ma
chlnory in thla so-called citizens' uomina
tion. There is something rather iugon
ous in nominating candidates by potltior
and there la something very novel i
nominating a loading politician like Mr
Boyd to head a non-partsau ticket ,
is an assumption on tha ono hand that
terrible emergency exists , an ! that Mr
Boyd ia the only man in Oaiahu competent
tent to fill the position of mayor
On tha other hand there la a rofreahln
greenness exhibited on the part of re
publicans in ] falllngjln to such a tiap
Hundreds of them have put their names t
the petition because they were frlghtono
by the Hascall bugbear , and because the
are In the habit of signing any putitio
that may come along. They would hav
signed a petition asking President Glove
laud to sand Mr. Boyd s minister pic
ntpotcnlmy to England just as roadll
as they would have signed a petltio
praying that Mr. Coutaut
retained na poabmstcr of Omaha
Very few men in thesa day
refnso to sign any petition. For on
part wo nro not disposed to endorse th
peculiar tactics displayed at the Boy
benefit at the Academy. If the rapub
licana of Omaha nominate Mr. Hascsll , o
some equally objectionable man , it will b
time enough for republicans in the inter
est of good government to range themselves
solves with the followers of the boas dcm
ocrat who prides himself on being th
chairman of the Nebraska delegation t
the na'ional ' convention tint nomicatec
Cleveland. And that very numerous clae
of citizens known as wcrklngmen
who are entirely Ignored I
this citizens' movomcntmay have a wore
or tvf o to say before they commit them
selves to Mr. Boyd. Perhaps they may
have a caudkhto whom they wouh
prefer , nnd whom other citizens and tax
piyorocan consistently support. Whil
the BEE has always advocated good go
ornmcnt and deprecated partisan blgotr
in local olostlons , we do not nee an
reason for boosting a politician into th
mayor's oflica on a non-partisan platform
DEATH has made a stand-off in the 111

TUB report that the Mormon author !
tics are about to luuo a proalamatio
abregiting the "divine law" of polygamy
haa caused the Doseroi News , the cburc
organ , to loudly proles ; againtt any sue !
step being taken. Tbo News evldcntl
fears that the abandonment of polygam
would result In the downfall of th
church , and in this it ia very likely cor
rect , for polygamy has been the in an
support of Mormonliin for jinny yenrj
There IB no question but what the Mor
mocs are divided on the question o
olygamy. The Indications arc that th
ujority favor ita being done away with ,
nd that the result will bo ocompliahd
n the ncnr future seems now to bo very
koly. Meantime let the prosecutions
fintinno so that the polygamlsts can bo
doroughly convinojd that thogovctn-
nent means business. It la plain to bo
con tlut the recent prosecutions and
onvktions are having n snlntny effect. .
SECIIKTAIIY MANNING'S appointment of
Engcno Biggins as chief of the appoint
ment division of the treasury department
ins brought out considerable ndvorto
criticism. In the first phco ho displaced
an efficient , fndntt.'Ious and competent
official , who had rlton to the positloi
rom the lowest grade of clerkship by
ilow promotion during twenty-two year *
of faithful service. The removal of sucli
a man is hardly consistent with the civl
aorvico text of President Cleveland aa
aid down In hia inaugural message. Ii
the next place Higglna ii not very warrrly
endorsed by his homapapora in Baltimore ,

aoivica reform , but a fair ropreaontativ
of the spoils fiyalom. Ilia nppointaion
was eccuretl by Senator Gorman , and i
has created no llttlo stir in Baltimore and
elsewhere among the civil service reform
era.
A DISGRACEFUL AFFAIR.
The racont lynching of n man nnd
wonun in Clay county was a most dis >
graceful affair , and the perpetrators
should bo brought to justice. While 1
may ba true that Mrs Taylor and he :
brother , Tom Jones , were "hard cltl
zons , " end were suspected ot numoron
crimes committed In their vicinity dur
Ing the past ton years , yet they weri
never convicted of any of thoto offenses
It may bo trno also that the far mo
Roberts was killed by Mra. Taylor'i
sons , who nro mere boys , and that the ,
wera instigated to commit the crime b ;
their mother , but all this has not bee
proven. The act of the vigilantes In order
ing Mrs. Taylor nnd Jones to leave th
country with'n ' thirty days waa in ilsolf 01
unlawful proceeding , and when they him
them because they did "not leave
and that , too , without any trial wha (
over , but merely on "general principles' '
they committed a crime equal to any tha
had over boon perpetrated by the victim
or any of their relatives. The two a !
legod murderers of Farmer Roberta an
in jail , nnd If psrmitted to live they wil
bo tried , and if found guilty will bo pun
ished. It is not charged that Mrs. Taylo
or Jones were murderers , but accessories
as wo understand It , and they were cer
tainly entitled to trial upon any charge
made sgilnst them. They wera apparent
ly not afraid of any such proceeding ,
otherwise they would have left the coun
try. They could easily have
been arrested and tiied. We
have failed so far to discover
ono redeeming feature in thia outrageous
lynching affiir. There are occislonally
lynchings which seem justifiable , but the
Clay county hanging was far from being
ono of that character. The lynching of
a man la bad enough , but the hanging of
a woman IB much worse , and wo know
of no similar instance of cruelty except
the ono that occurred in Coloiado about a
year ago , when a man named Cuddlgan
and hla wlfo were hung by a mob for
having so brutally treated an orphan girl
in their ciro tbat she died. While the
hanging of thn man was not generally
found fault with , the lynching of the
woman was severely condemned. In the
Nebraska case the man and woman
were not charged with being the
principals In the murder , but were
hung simply because they were ' 'hard
citizens. " The community in which
lynchsrs have DO llttlo regard for the
principles of justice and humanity an they
have in [ Clay county must indeed , ba a
dangerous locality for any man to llvo in
Should a person lappen to Incur their
enmity ho la liable nt any moment to bo
swung off Into eternity from a briileo
beam or the limb of a tree , without be
ing given an opportunity of oven saying
hia prayers. Tha authorities and ra-
spoctablo peopla of Clay county ewe it to
tuomsolvos and to the atato to have the
lynchcra arrested and punished , but we
venture to say that at pres
ent a quiet reign of terror
prevails in that county ao
that no ono will darj to volunteer to move
In the matter for fear of being lynched.
Lynchora , who have once dyed their
htnda in human blood , and that , too , ap-
pirontly without justifiable causa , would
not hcsitato to comunTothor murders In
order to protect themselves from the ven
geance of the law. Thla la a case In
which thegovornor should specially Inter
est himself , and the first atop to bo taken is
to offer the usual rewards for the arrest
of- the mnrdororfl. Lot there ba a reward
offered for tho'arrest and conviction of
osch one of tbo thirty or forty men en
gaged In the dastardly deed.
EEOKLTAHY LAMAU not only sustained
Senator Van Wyck In hia exposure of
Mr. Teller's crookedness in the "Back
bone" bnslneai , but ha has since given
the cx-aecrettry of the Interior another
blow. In the "backbone" matter Secre
tary Laraar prevented the itauanco of the
remaining patents , and ho has since
stopped the execution of Toiler's order
to throw opan the Crow Creek reserva
tion. This order was made in the last
days of the administration , and the effect
waa to open thla tract In the central part of
Dakota to a horde of land grabbers who
are trying to take away from these civ
ilized Winnobago Indiana thu farms which
for twenty years they have cultivated.
Teller's brother la ono of the moa who
expected to profit by this rab.
Secretary Lanur's action waa duo to
the efforts of ( ho Indian Righta atsocia-
tion , The claim of thla association in
ragatd to the Crow Creek reservation ia
that it is A treaty reservation , that is , a
oservation secured by treaty and not
eating on moro executive or jcr ; , coneo-
uently that it cannot ba opened to sal-
oment by executive order. The -whole
matter was crrangod secretly , and with *
ut the knowledge of the Indian com
missioner. Senator Dawca rrgirds the
, ctlon as wrong , nnd la "profoundly in
nan- * , " according to Air. Welsh , who
ays further in n private letter :
The Yanctouuias Indiana who occupy
; his racrvatlon are among the most civil-
zid and peaceful Indians that I know.
Flio government has always treated them
ipon the supposition that they were In
corporated with the other Sioux living on
the west branch of the Mistouri and hold-
ng tbo'r ' reservation by the same tltlo.
Wo have placed our briefs on the legi
points of the question in Senator D.iwos .
handa , by whom it is highly commended.
So aoon as our facts are oil clear wo wll
resent a memorial to Mr. Cleveland am
Mr. Lamar.
OTHER LANDS THAN OURS.
While the pacific nttorancaa of the czi
and the nssurancaa cf Mr. Gladotom
luvo allayed apprehensions of n war bc-
twoon Ruisii and England , the disput
over the Afghan border is by no mean
tnttlcd. The design of Russia to catablisl
a "ccicntlfic frontier" in Central \
la not relinquished , nor is there the leas
reason for boliaving that the mora inline
dlato pnrpoco namely , the oeizuro
Herat haa been abandoned. The RUB
alana have not agreed to withdraw from
the positions they occupy , nor has Grca
Britain conccntod to their occupation o
those positions. In brief , nothing ha
been done except to enter Into a mntua
agrcomont to let mattora rest in stain qn
until the boundary commission shall hav
time to devise a basis of settlement , I
that shall prove to bo possible. In othe
words , there Is a truce of uncertain dura
tion , a postponement of the struggle ,
delay , which may be long or shortaccorc
Ing to circumstances.
At this dlslanca the history of the ol
fair Booms to bo this : Great Britain'
difficulties In the Soudan put Mr. Glad

Russians had expected it to be. Fo
thorn to go on with what they had under
taken would Involve Immediate war
with all tha advantages against them
Their available forca was ovormatche
by that of the British and tho'r ' allies
The occasion waa less opportune thn
had boon hoped , and for the success o
Russian plans it was nccaaaary to socur
a poitponcment of the cris's. ' The true
was agreed upon , and mattora are .it res
for the present.
That seems to bo literally all there I
of the so-called adjustment , and it is dii
ficult to think that the British hnvogaln
ed anything by such diplomacy. The
were in position to precipitate the atruj.
glo with every advantage on their side
they have postponed it in face of the cer
talnty that Russia will patiently labor t
reverse this situation and will bring o
the struggle whenever the advantag
shall saem to lie clearly with her arms
That may bo next week or next year , o

The proposed tour of the Prlnca
Wales turough Ireland has cum ad a groa
deal of nervousuoes among the ISnglis
authorities. This is forcibly shown 1
the fact that the recent proclamation fo
which Pflrnell holds himself responalbl
Is declared 1 reasonable. The paper refer
red to Is , more than lesa , n definition o
the Irish attitude toward the Prince. I
ia rather nn impertinent production , an
illustrates the uncertainty felt by bet !
sides , aa to what is best ; but as to tren
son , it seems a very slight thing to faun
so sort 113 n charge on. I
a conflict , such ns seems t
bo Inaugurated , is to ba wage
over the prince's visit , It will do no good
The benefit to bo derived from it Is of
character that calls for forbearance an
confidence. If the prince is , by hla vlail
to conciliate the good will of the Itii
people , ho must trust them aud with ! :
proper limits fraternize with them. If h
gooa there merely to bo entertained b ;
the castle authorities and to dance wit
the aristocrarcy , ho will only widen th
broich between the people and the go'N
ernmont.
The real contest , as between Englnn
and Ireland , ia with the masses of th
Irish people. If this is to bit molllQo
the people must ba reached and coucili
ntod. It Is doubtful whether , nt heal
the prince's visit would do anything

Intelligent parties hero , familiar with
, ho condition of nffiirj in Guatemala , ex
press the opinion thnt Barrios Is simply
trying to entry out the enmo sort of
schema for n confederation of the Cen
tral American republics that Bolivia SB
pired tj do in South Amcnot. It la said
that a majority , if not all , of the Ccntrnl
American republic ! two years ngo virtu
ally agreed to nu autonomy , composed of
the eovornl states under ono nnmo. The
jealousies and political tmibi lions of the
various aspirants for the chief magistrate

In n condition of ofl'tlra that proraiaen

Guatemala is the largest nnd most im
portant of the Central America republic ; ,
with n million nud n quarter of inhabi

years haa shown moro symptoms of sta
bility than those of her oisters. Hondu
ras. the next largest of the quintette , ia
disposed to assent to the plans which the
president of Guatemala 1m proposed.
But San Salvador , Costa Rica and Nicar
agua , which contains between. * hem not
more than 900,000 InhnblfnuUi , are dis
posed to ba recalcitrant oven to n sturdy
fight for their continued independence.
Perhaps the treaty which wns recently
proposed between Nicaraugua nnd the
United States has- boon iho actuating
cause of President Barrios' decision to
employ coercion in carrying outhls plans.
But it Is still a qaostlon whether the
friends of separate governments may not
find themselves powerful enough to
rcslet the union which haa been pro
claimed.
According to all the probabilities , n
monarchical form of government will ba
established In the now Congo s'nta , nnd
it will bo called the kingdom of Conga.
Whether King Laop"ld of Belgium will
assume the additional title of the king
of Congo , or call to the throne a prince
of his family , la not yet known.

A BEEF EATING NATION.
The Slaple Food cf Mncrlcaos-Amer-
ican Beif Not Inferior io
the English
Superiority of KiiBllsli Mutton. What
Hseoiuci of the Scrnira nt
the Mnrkotfl.
"About four tlmoa as much botf as all
sthcr kinds of meat , insludlng fowls , is
jnton in Ohlcigo"uald a wholesale denl-
cr. "Beef , in fact , is the recognized
itaplo meat. The Germans and Scandi-
.lavintm cnt considerable veal , the former ,
nlso , use a great dcnl.of pork. But the
Englishman nud American nro pretty
Btndy beef eaters , aud the American
takes ateak nlno tlmea out of ton In pro- !
cronco to nnything olso. "
"It Is true that tbo English boat la su
perior to the American product ? " waa
naked.
"No , not the barf taken from the nn
tlvo bullock. 1 learned ray bualucti
over in the old country , nnd know thai
good American beef Is quits na fine nn
article as the Emdith product. The
trouble with the Chic o market i thnl
all kinds of inferior aulranla nro shipped
to It. The western en1 tie , pnrtlculnrh
the o herded in Texas , nro moro that
half wild cwaturcs. Feeding ni
they do their llcsh la tough , tinowy
nnd hns n gamoy lUvor. In the siimmei
and cn ly fall they make better beef thai
later , fir during the acmon uhon they
can ob'nlu ' nil the prasn they wnnt they
pick up a llltlo fit. Now they nro
nothing but musilos and Blnows. Look
nUhin piece of beef , for inbtance , " said
ho > , taking up a cut of deep , dull red hur
without a particle of snot adhering to It
"Notice thnt there Is not a streak of fa
through It , and coa the dilTjrenco h
color from thu domoetlo bullock , " h
added , holding it aide by aldo with
bright red , juicy piece of beef , aurrouudoi
inch dcop with yellow fat.
"Many Englishmen are forever pratini
about how much better tbo beef la * u
'omo than hero , but that is all nonsense
Thoto who do It nro usually the clas
who didn't got n chanca to taste boo
moro than twice a month when the ;
Ittcd in England. Wnou they com
to eat it throe tlmoa n day , as they d
hera , It docs not taste as good na 1
did 'at 'omo , ' whera they had it only or
extra oceaalona. English mutton , however
over , Is far superior to American. Ono
reason it ia much finer. Then greater care
la taken to produce a good article. In
winter , In this locality , the sheep are
abut up for a long time nnd fed ou dry
fodder. That makes the moat tough and
strong. In England they run out every
day , and there green winter crops arc
grown for them to o t. Ono is a veget
able with a top somewhat rofemblicg
cibbago and a root atrni'ar to turnips.
Another is something like the mustard
plant. Then tha theop &ro nlnrays turned
into tha winter- wheat fields to oat off' all
the first growth. The second growth
comes up far thicker and stronger be-
cnuao of the nibbling off of the first. "
"What proportion of aalab'obeof la ob-
talnoct from n ordinary-sized drcased an
imal ? "
"An 800 pound steer will average
about well , I'll make an estimate , " an
swered the gentleman taking oat pencil
nnd tablet from which he presently toran
leaf and handed it to the reporter.
"There , " enld he , "la about the proportion
tion o ! fine melts to ba taken from n
dressed creature weighing 800 pounds :
Porterhouse and sirloin steaks , cost
per pound f i oni 1C to 20 cents 110 Ibs
Pine loaet baef. cost per pound from
UtolSconts SO Iba
Komid steak , cost per pound 12J cents 80 Ibs
Chuck nnd chuck steak , coat per
pound G to 10 cants 120 Ibs
Plato beef , coat par pound 0 to 10
cents 100 Iba
1'lanks , ojst oer pound S centa 15 Ibs
Suet nnd kidney , coat per pound 8
ccuta 20 Ibi
Hump beefcoat per pound 10 cents. . CO Jb ;
Shanks nverao from 100 to 115 pounds ,
"Tho shanks you know , " ho tnld , as
the reporter scanned the list , " .ire used
for soup. They are , of course , ehaap.
The part designated aa 'plato beef is usnd
for mowing or for corned beef. 1'lanks '
a-o used for salting. The Swedes buy
them to a groit extent to msko into
spiced beef. Many people like the flank
for pot rca t , s'owiug Ittlowly tills'i htly
browned. Country paop'o use it conaid
orably that wny , aomotimea stowing i
beef heart with it. Many relish the batf
heart sliced by Itsslf , nna sgrved with n
nice cream snuce. The Germans use the
shoulder clod for 'sour beef , ' putting ii
into vinegar seasoned with onions
"Chuck Is a piece tha * ; comes from to
ward the neck. From n good native bul
lock 'chuck aleak' ia a most cxcclloni
article nnd many persons prefer It to nny
other. "
"I do not sea that yon have mndo any
oitimnto of tha amount or cost of tin
derloln stank , " observed the ropcrtor.
"No ; becaueo there Is llttlo or no mar
ket for tenderloin except with hotels nnd
restaurants , whore the remainder of the
cut is utilized In some wny. Tenderloin
etoak , bought by the ton , would cost UO
cents a pound. Some retail markets with
wealthy patrons make a practice of keepIng -
Ing tenderloin , uncut , and larding it upon
order for roasting. "
"How about the cut known as 'beef
' "
roll'
"That is only taken from Inferior nnl
mala , Texan , for instance , where the ro
matador of tno cnt Ia too tough and poorer
[ or ordinary family uao. 'Beef roll'
is cnt into tlio 'small steaks' '
served In cheap restaurants. Mutton la
cut into chops and roasting nnd boiling
pieces , and veal is treated In nboat the
Bimo way. The difference between a
common mutton chop nnd nn 'Kngllah
mutton chop * la In the cut. The ordinary
chops nro simply the ribs cut up , but the
'English chop' is from tbo loin. In Eng
land the ribs are generally used fur
boiling ,
"Americans are the great turkey and
chicken consumers. Germans are fond
of duck. About Christmas time the Irish
inquire for geese. The Hebrew people
buy gcseo in quantities , using the fat for
cooking purposes , and salting and smok
ing the loan. "
"What becomes of all such meat aa la
not salable to iho dralor in family sup-
plica ? ' ' was tbo inquiry made of a north
aide butcher.
"What becomes of it ? Well , I'll ' toll
you , After the retail dealers and the
bnjera for the hotels nnd restaurants have
been down in the evening and BO
lectod their cupplies , the buyers from the
canning and packing houses come clong
and buy up the rest. They alze up tha
amount and glvo BO much for it iu bnlk
without reguu to quality. I worked In
a great pactiug house awhile , and noth
ing but starvation would Induce mo to
eat nay canned beef. All the ecrapu
everything that can't bo u od ia any
other way are pat in , and , I assure
you , there Is not an ounce of meat lost
because iUnlght bo soiled or otherwise
be unfit to' ba eaten , Every particle ia
Borapod off the bones. Then It Is all anil
through n ohuto to the room below. It
Is packed In there layer of beef nnd
Inyer of ice till the room is fall. When
, tulllolent stock hts nccnmulntod It IB
amoved for canning. All beef that
-innot bo sold for tnblo use in n fresh
ondltton goes to the canning factories "
Ho Tiloil the WroiiK ainn.
A inllrod-hdircl young nun with nn In-
ocont fnca nnd n blnck necktlo.aatnlonotn
c\r aoat on ono of the swift Hying trains
f the PennrylvMiln rnllroad lunnd for

copy of the Christian Advocate \\hcu a
onovolont looking in'ddlo ngod man on-
ercd nnd sit down beside him. Firnn
lour the young man road his pnoor nnd
ho old man watched the tolo rnph poles
; o by. Becoming tired of this nmusa-
in nt the stranger fished n half dozen little -
tlo pill boxes out if n deep pofikot in h's '
overcoat nnd placed them In hia Inp. The
young in n put nway his pspor nnd eyed
his neighbor , who , pulling out n roll of
bills from Ills vest pocket , aolocted n note
and placed It in ono of the pill luxes.
"Do you suppose yon could select the
box containing the bill ? " ho nskrd of the
young innu wiih n smile , and n look that
seemed lossy , "Let cs bo aoclnble. "
"Now , will you try it ? " ho continued ,
nftor witing hh forehead with n rad hand-
kerohief. "Glvu mo it dollar nnd tnko
your j IcV. Vou'xo not n chance to make
§ 19 in clenn imn-y. "
The yoniu nun' * fjca did n t show the
lotmt animation rt thla Declaration. If
there uni the Beginning of a sm'lo 1ml-
don under his mmist.chu tt did not re
veal itself when ho nnawcroJ :
"You are a stranger to mo. 1 don't
want to tnko $19 out of you ; It wouldn't
bo [ { entlnmnnly in mo to do so. If wo
were old friends the csso wonld bo differ ,
cnt. But I aeo plainly yon nru not used

of tlut $20 note sticking out cf the cover
just na you did tbo other. You ought to
RO nnd " work on a farm awhile , yon
ought.
The per piration poured frtm the
sharper's forehoscl. Ho had caught n
Tartar , and had had a haul time of it
too , The rpd-hcnded young man took
the boxoa out of his neighbor's hands ,
and , after returning the S'-'O note , said :
"Perhaps you wou'd like to try your
baud at picking out the lucky box ? I'll
put this § 50 bill in this ono nnd a 10
note in this box. Give no $5 nnd you
shall try your luck. "
The mnn reluctantly pnld over the
money , nnd. altar the young man hsd
shaken op the boxes In his hat , took up
ono from which the green corner of a note
appeared. When ho had pulled off the
the cover ho found It contained only a
pleca of nravcnuo atamp. His face fell
at Iho discovery.
"Try It again"slid his tormentor.
Ho tried again , but with no batter
luck.

"Toko the lot "
, laughd the young
mnn , pouring thorn out into his
neighbor's lap.
The swindler opened every box , but
not a uigti of n bill appeared.
"Hero arc the bills , safe In my pocket , "
said the br/gbt / yciiog fellow , producing
the no'es ' from his vost-pocket and shak
ing them In hia neighbor's face.
"The next 11119 you want to try your
game on a stranger don't pick out a man
who is In the sune busiuena as yourself.
