Maine came up smiling with a democratic victory at her state election held Monday. The J net a democratic gain of more than twenty per cent, a per cent that would make Indiana as heavily democratic as it was republican in 1900. This is the kind of news that puts new life and lots of ginger into the workers of the common cause. Now everybody get busy. Among the big ones who w ; ll take the stump for the democratic national ticket, are mentioned William J. Bryan, Ex President Cleveland. John G Carlisle, Richard Olney, Nelson A. Miles. Charles A. Towne, B >urke Cockran, Arthur P. Gorman. John Sharpe Williams, Joseph W. Bliley, David B. Hill. Mayor McClellan, and a host of other eminent ojators. When they are all turned loose there will be something doing. The Roosevelt letter of acceptance is receiving a just and meritorious criticism, and that criticism is by no means confined to the ranks of democracy. The Philadelphia Record says: “It is longer than some of the gospels. That

part of it which is at once pertinent and important is contained in the first sentence. The rest is mainly a tirade; an unwarranted imputation of insincerities, inconsistencies and misstatesments upon the part of his political opponents, and an equally unwarranted brag of perfection of his own administrative exploits and policies. On this basis of blame on the one hand and boast on the other, he builds up his argn- I ment and makes his appeal to tl e i country. There never before has been issued from the White House on any occasion a missive of a public character couched in language of such studied insult to one-half of the people of the United States. It i reads like a speech from the throne of a God-annointed ruler instead of { an address of a public servant giv- ; ing an account of his stewardship. It is a breaking forth which makes ; onlv too evident what has been go-' ing on in the bottled-up seclusion of Oyster Biv.” ~ Rural Route Six. Some wheat already sown in our community.

WHAT MEXICANS EAT. Greane Pin ya nn important Part In Their Hich LMahea. The farther south one goes the more important part meat seems to play in the diet. In old Mexico the people of the upper class have highly seasoned roasts and steaks and gam..' three times every day. The roasts are staffed with raisins, and a rich brown gravy is poured over them. Grease seems more indispensable to them than to the fur enveloped Eskimos. There are uo broiled steaks, but in their place one is served with a half raw piece of tenderloin reeking with grease and peculiarly flavored herbs. In that balmy clime, where the system would be so much better off without any meats, thousands of steaks are t Id daily at 45 ami 50 cents a pound. The poorer classes are forced to abstain from such and live on the coarse frljole beans and cold clammy tortillas, which are thin white corn cakes made from rye hominy crushed to a pulp. This forms their unvaried diet. On the aristocrats’ tables are the most delicious fruits, chiramoyas. Eipotes, mangoes and others whica Americans have never tasted. The popular aguaeate is a cross between a fruit and a nut. It is a dark green and the flesh is about the consistency of ointment. It grows on a tree ot unparalleled dark green foliage and is used often in the place of butter or is made into a toothsome salad. Rich soups, with bananas chopped in them, are served every day. and vegetables dressed with goat’s cream are on their tables. At every meal during the year they eat the frijole beans, which have been dipped into a brown pottery bowl of boiling lard before they are brought to the table. The Mexicans eat enough lard to undermine the digestion of the stoutest being. Sirup is a great delicacy and very expensive. It is served as a sort of dessert in little china saucers and Is eaten from spoons. Little bits of native candies are also served in separate plates. - Farm and Ranch.
