Correspondence solicited from every township la Bock Island county. Friday, Jancakt 8. 1888 Thb Manchester Democrat nays "the majority should rule." While this is true, a matter of. fact the raijorit does not rule. If it did the Mt Kinley law would be promptly obliterated from the statute books, for popu'ar condemnation of the measure was overwhelming. That the law cannot be repealed is a conclusive proof that between the theory and prac tice of this govtroaient there is a radical if not an irreconcileable flifl-rrnce. Quinct Herald: The democrat should carry rifles, not shot-guns, when they go bunting the tariff. Shot-cuns will scatter all over creation, and may never bring down the game you want. With your rifle you can pick out your bird and shoot to ki.l. A general fire at the whole fljck of taiiff frauds is too cen tral. But if they pick out certain Krost. features that nine-ientbs of the people of all political cIhsscs want to see killed, the republican party will be kept too busy picking up the dead and wounded to pay any attention to free coinage oi any other Kid issue. 4ovrrnr t lower TaJkM Kesor. Forgetting both the auimosities and tortuosities of the late carapiiga, all good cilizens of New York will hail with pleasure the following declaration ot principles in Gov. Flower's inaugural message to the general assemMj : The legislature has yet msdii no provis ion for the proper representation of the state at the world's fmr in Chic-ico nt-x year. This should be one of the tirsi acta i.f your honorable body. The time is growipg short for the erection of a suitable building for the exhibition of the state's interests, and if New York i to be represented comnensurately wilL its commanding position and tre.it re sources, special legislative action is ne cessary. This duty the ftate owes to in. commercial and industrial interest!). The provision for state representation ami participation should be liberal but no extravagant. Our citisc?ns will nut be grudge the appropriation of public money for this purpose, which will enable the state to be properly represented, but thej will disapprove aoy extravagant expend itures and will insist whatever ap;npri ation is granted shall be wisely expended under competent direction. I lrrrliii.it and tnr Xi.ininntion. St. Lou's Ht'public. Mr. Cleveland's personal popularity among democrats is not ixrceii -d, it it is cqalled, by that of any man in the coun try, and the presumption that the result of the speakership contest made bis rt nomination out of the question is being vigorously resented. Amoni? the letter on the sut ject received by the Republic is one from Judge J. W. Eruf rson, of lronton, strongly combating this assump tion. "The defeat of Mills," be writes "should change no issue; should not change the attitude of the party towards the man who stood at the frout as our deal of a safe and popular leader during these late years; the man whose name ral lies about it more genuine luve, confi dence and enthusiasm than any other name in our country," The Republic does not believe that the vote in the house caucus has changed the attitu ;e of the democratic party tow ards either men or measures for nexi November. The party is more deter mined than ever on a reduction of the tariff to a strictly revenue basis Tne renomination of Mr. Cleveland is no more "out of the question" now than it was six months ai;o. Nor, on the other hand, is it any more necessary . If a New York candidate is necesary ;his year, then Mr. Cleveland i-t ttie man. if the New York de'nga tion is packed against him; ,t msy easily nitike his nominatton moos?.. ible, but it can do no mre than that, it cannot choose the nominee or dic;ate to the party. If Mr. Cleveland were nominated, the Republic believes he would bee.hct d easily auaii.si either Blaine or Harrison, but it has never bi lieved in considering him as the only possible democratic can didate. To do so would be to greatly weaken tho party by committing it to a single man, so that failure to nominate him would disorganize it. We haye as sumed that Mr. Cleveland is the f Irons est New York candidate possible for the party in fact, the only stroug candidate it could now select from that state. But we have for a long time believed, and we still believe, that the strongest possible candidate for the party wou.d he a good western democrat with a Safe record, which, without antoconizing eastern democrats, would rally the west for h re newal of the western movement of 1890. Such a caudidate would sweep tbe coun try, and we believe be w ulil be elected by a two-thirds rnijority in the elect Tnl college as against Blaine, Jiirnson or ar.y other republican idetifi-d with radic l ism as it bts put itself on record siuce t:ie Harrison administration revived It. The bust advice the Republic can sive democrats is not to make up tin irniiods that Mr Cleveland or any other one innn i necessary to the success of leru Kiratic principle. By rcfraini g from d .line so they can help to keep available v ry man they msy possibly need for the nomina tion, and at the same time thev c m pre vent cabals from thrusting a candidate on them. The Republic's candidate is lire man who can carry three western slates and New York. Perhaps it ndjiht be able to name bim, but it will leave that responsibility to the dmocratic party in national convention. AJ OLD DOLLY. Only a old wooden dolly. With an arrii and a leg a-mU(ng, The point of hr nose rubbed off, I s'pose. Through too mach washing or kissing. In a frock of fitted satin. With tinsel lace tarnished and tattered; Tier "coal scuttle" bonnet holds, alas, A head that's a tritle battered. Oh, no, she ha-s not lost her locks; Hie novor had carls black or golden; A doll's wig w w safely painted on Id the days tbat you call "oldeu." Yon laugh and think her "too f tinny;" Vet once she was just as much cherished As your dolly is by a wee girl Whose dolly days long asu perished. New York Advertiser. HOME V1ADE CANDY. One May lie Sure of Getting Ilelicious and Perfectly Harmless Sweets. When one has once mustered the boiling of HiiKar sufficiently to make a successful fondaut, one lies overcome the chief ob stacle in the way of making French can dies at home. It is not dillii.-iilt; it simply requires care and exact attention to de tails. Use n new nmrhleized saucepan, if you do not. possess a regular sitfiar boiler of copper lined with t in, for those experi enced in the ma ter say it serves t he pur pose just as well I'm two poll n Ls of sui;ar mill two cups of boiliiiK water iu the saucepan with n speck of cream of tan ar the size, of half a pea. Stir it till it melts mid then let it alone, but watch it. Let it boil ten min utes after it be ,'itis, t hen te.t it. To do this lift up adro ijjently, without disturb ing the rest, uu n the tip of spoon and drop it into a cup of ice water. If it dis solves in trie vv iter tlie suicar has not boiled enough, if it dri ps to t lie bottoi; of the cup undissolved and you can pick it up and roll it around between your lin ger and t huml) a:id it forms a creamy little ball that docs no, stick t.iyour linger, it is just, ri-ht. If it is a hard, brittle i-amly it has boiled too loui;. A te.'li-pooiiiul of water must be addeil to the sin p and it allowed to lil up a'.-im. If it is a sticky ball it must lioil a little louder. Then try it again. When it is just ri;;lit. remove it from tne tire and allow it to iH-coiiiri cool enough so t hat you can liear your 1 njjir in it. When thus cool beat it will, a spoon until it forms a paste which resei ibhs lard. Work it with your hands and set it away tlli you nerd it. or use it at oui-e, as you choose, in either ca-e it must be put in an earthen jar and set in a pan of boding water to melt. II you wish to make cream walnuts have greased papers ready, take walnut kernels lie by mie on the point of a needle, dip them in the melted fondant and lay them on greased papers, which must le ready re pare. 1. l'art of these walnut candies may la- made pink by col oring the last, half of the fondant "used with cochineal or with raspberry juice, be iup careful not. t ii-o more than t hree o." four drops, hm it Aill tniti the syrup too much. Blanched almonds, emiiiieil cherries, citron and raisins may all im chopped to gether ali stirred in a fondaut and poured out on greased papers to make a bar of tutti frutti candy t'ocoanui balls are or namental as wel. as a delicious confec tion. Grate a la -Ke cocounut and add to it the amount o.' fondant iven. Take out aliont. one-third of the mixture and form it into balls ibont the size of peaches. Divide the remainder of the fondant into equal parts, and c dor one yellow with saf frou and the other red v;tu cochineal, (if these form balls o" red anil yellow of the same size. Little white riiibons may le in troduced into the balls while t hey are soft, but colored ribb ins had better not lm used, as no one t;m Ik; sure of the ingre dient in the dye, which may penetrate into the warm cat dy. If the fondant should trow too hard dnr inu this long proc -ss et. it, back in the ket tle of boiiing wi.ter and let it melt out again. It is wel, to keep it standing iu warm water, but not on tne stove boiling, while you are working with it. Chocolate ci-car is may be made as fid lows: Make a fom ant of about, a pound of supar and six laldespoonfuls of tbick sweet cream. Iyc it boil till the syrup forms a soft ball when it is dropjied in ire vater and rollet. between the fingers. Treat it exactly lis the other fondant is treated. Make it into little balls the size of cherry stones. Melt half a pound of chocolate by scraping it, stirring a tea spoonful of warm water in it and heating it until it is a thick paste. Dip the halls of fondaut in the melted chocolate, one by one, from the point oC a needle. If they are so sugary that they break when the needle touches tl em the fondaut is too hard. They should fie a. soft ball, and just covered, no more, w ith the chocolate, so as to form a thin mx- k over the fondant, bails. To make mar.-,h-naliows dissolve half a pound of frum ar-ibie in a pint of water, strain it., add hall a pound of surar, stir till the sirup i us Ihirk as honey; then pour it trradualiy over the beaten whites of four eggs, yi.i.- till the mixture dots not stick to the tiuger. Dust a p;m with starch, pour the marshmal low mixture into it, dredge it light ly w ilh powd-r: d starch, and when it is a little cool cut it, in squares; when it s cold it is done. New York Tribune. One Form of Vanity. The sweetest wife arid mot tier in New Y'ork said to me the other day: "When uny one I know is i-ude, or unki.id to me I am sorry for that erson, but 1 do nut take the act as personal. I attribute it to ill health or lack of training, but 1 never per mit myself to thi ik that. I can be hurt, hy it. When any one is kind and thoughtful, however, I take it as a jietsoi al compli ment and mark cf special favor. 1 sup pose it is a very egotistical way of looking at things, but 1 gel a great deal of happi ness out, of my vanity. 1 go through life never feeling slighted or insulted or wound ed, und am coustuntly delighted with the goodrus and sweetness w hich jK-opie be stow upon me." As I listened to the fair lady's words it seemed to me that such vanity as hers was a nnt, ilesiraole quality to posses, aud 1 wished there was in ore of it in the world. I know another woman who madeira rule early in life to only notice other peo ple's faults to avoii, contracting them, and to carefully notice 1 heir graces and virtues in order to adopt th -tit. Klla Wheeler Wil cox iu Washington Post. A eiiKlble ii-w of 14 Condition. Dr. A rahell Kene.iiy views t he fact that many women must remain spinsters by reason of their prep imierauce iu inimiiers with cheerful equanimity, for, she says: "The increased an I increasing surplus of women is forcing 11 ion us t he impossibility of marrying nil our daughters, and we ure compelled therefore to provide them with professions whereb.- they can make pro visions for themseh es. It is this -weliing of the tide until it h is overflow e 1 the do mestic precincts th it has carried us out into the current of the larger and fuller life." HUMAN RESEMBLANCES TO ANIMALS. gome Are Positively Fanrinating, While Others Leave Much to lie Deitlred. The French, who are famous for their keen observation, have a saying to the ef fect that every one bears a resemblance, more or less exact, to some animal. There are many persons outside of the French nation who claim that lines of likeness to horses, dogs, monkeys, birds, fishes, snakes and tigers, as well as to those of sheep, goats, pigs, cows, etc., can be traced in nien and women who "yet are really hu man and without any moral likeness to their prototypes. Some of these resem blances make pretty faces enough. If the horse and cow leave much to lie desired on the score of beauty the dog gives several fascinating types of beauty. We have known spaniels and setters and skyes and Blenheims and funny little Japanese non descripts, in frocks and hats, walking erect on two legs with human voices to match their human minds who were as delightful in their womanhood ns lhey were pretty in their personality. And yet their faces with only a few strokes of the pencil could la? made an exact likeuess of the creatures we have mentioned. We have known monkey faces as pleasant may we say as kissable? as those sweet, round kittei faces which irresistibly sug gest the princess who had la-en the White Cat ns those blunt nosed kid faces which recall Damon ami Ualatea as those sharp chinned mouse faces which are spoiled when they run into the ferret type as those faces like to fawns where the dis proportionate length is redeemed by the lovely liquid eyes and the graceful neck. We have known a tiger face that had its fascination, if also it suggested cruelty and treachery. But thesuake, and the lizard, and the pig, and the fish we have not known, iu any way beautiful, nor is the sheep a type for idealization. The bird, albeit bony and beaky, may pass as a pretty kind of creature when young and not too jerky in its movements, nor too perky in its ca resses. Do we not ail know the women who peck like birds when they make a show of kissing? They canuot kiss evtu their babies like true humans, but daband dash and peek at the soft lower face like a bird picking up grain; aud their pointed lips seem as if they must hurt as mtieh as the bony beak they .simulate. And are not hands very often like claws? And did not Dickens liken the working hiuewsof an old woman's shriveled neck to the scratching legs of poultry? And are not certain men like eagles? and certain others like secretary birds? and others agaiu like herons? And, yet again, others like geese? And do we not ail know the dove among women, and the litite browa w ren, and the angry little hedge sparrow, all fuss and bluster and fight and bathers with a body no bigger than a walnut un derneath those apparently quite formid able quills? Purely! In fact, birds have nearly as large a follow ing as dogs, and we might multiply the instances of likeness till we had included ail the species given by White ol 'Sci borne or even by Audubon.
