THE DAILY NEWS. TCE8I>AY, OC • OBEB 7 187*.

The Indianapolis Mews has a bona fide circulation more than one-half larger than that of any other daily paper in Indiana.

The official returns show that the majority against Davis, the republican candidate in Maine, is 1,119. —— ^ It is announced from San Francisco as a rentable fact that General Grant, during bis foreign tour, became a strict teetotaler. He now abstains entirely from, ererything intoxicating.—[Chicago Journal. Oh! Don't begin that sort of thing poW; it’s worse than the Pinafore busineee* As a maMet^of course in dhe time it w.ill beshown thatWant is seraphic in all his ways, but it is ioo early to begin now. Th* men who recommend republicans to scratch Mr. Cornell will themselves be scratched from the roll of the republican party. They are so few that they will not be missed —[Troy, N. Y. Times. Exactly, but what of the men Who ■cratch and kick, clean handed men who have been elected by the party as this same Mr. Cornell did? Are they read oi\t of the party? Well, hardly ever. It is all right to revolt against the purity of the party, but treason to revolt against the machine.

It is finally settled by the supreme court of Pennsylvania that Allegheny county (Pittsburg) must pay the losses occasioned by the strike riots of 1877. They amount to abont $4,000,000. There has been a desperate effort to' shuffle the c debt onto the shoulders of the state, both in the courts and in the legislature, but this decision finally puts it where it bebngs. It ought to be a lesson to supine authorities everywhere. Peace and protection must come right from the spot where they are invaded.

“We would'Udmire the independent features of The News more if it would occasionally foiget its allegiance to the republican ^,mriy aad cease its howls of indignant rttydb whenever it sees the democratic partv abjjt to make a ten strike by exposing republic) rascality."—rShelbyville Democrat. The Democrat is troubled about the independence of The News, because it denounced the attempted unseating of Congressman Orth. The Democrat, like most of its name, admires the “independent featWs of The News” whenever it says anythifl^commendatory of that party or its representative men. Then it is wonderful!^ independent; but whenever truth demands that the democratic party be condemned or the republicans commended, then The News is fearfully partisan in the eyes of cross roads politicians and organ grinders. Take the present case. What are the facts? Orth and McCabe ran for congress. Orth was declared elected by sixty-four votes. There were vague assertions of irsud and all that, as there always are in close contests. But McCabe,, who looked the ground over carefully, and who had every motive of self interest to spur him on, could find no frauds whatever, and therefore declined to contest the election. If he was “the legally elected member’’ the Shelbyville Democrat says he is, why did he not claim his rights and contest the election? Simply because he had no grounds to base a contest on, and he knew it. Long after the limit fixed by law for entering upon a contest had expired, and just before congress adjourned McCabe, influenced probably by party friends who wanted to overthrow the balaUke of power held by De La Matvr in the Indiana delegation, petitioned congress to # permit him to reopen the matter and J&ake a contest. This, we believe, was not acted upon, and it was in the belief ihat the democratic house would unseat Orth simply by might, and not by right, for partisan ends, that The News spoke in condemnation. We gay again that it would be an infamous outrage, just as much as if De La Matyr should be thrown oat to make room for John Hanna. The News has no particular admiration for Mr. Orth* but right is right, and if the conditions were reversed no paper would see it more clearly or howl about it more lustily than the Shelbyville Democrat. The acceptance by Charles P. Thompson of the gubernatorial nomination in •Massachusetts at the hands of the “Regular” or Faneuil hall democracy, insures the defeat of Butler, according to the Boston Herald’s way of thinking, and will end in re-establishing the old party lines in the state as they were. The first might bo true. But Mr. Thompson haa'ecoueider his action and postively refuses to itand, and jt is doubtful if any democrat of prominence can be procured to make the race. In any event we doabt if it would result in restabliahing old party lines. If “the old party " linos,” not only in Massachusetts but^tn the whole country, are not obliterated in a Tory few yean and new ones formed on questions of labor, property and fioauce, we very much mistake the signs of the

times. As the Nation in discussing another subject wall says: These'quetUona underlie all other questions and though often kept temporarily in abeyance by the sudden end overpowering excitements arising out of foreign quarrels or quarrels over the seatof the sovereignty,such as the late rebellion, they form the deepest and most permanent interest of the bulk of the population. Tbev furnish the aoirce of industry, the raw material of morality and the most powerful governing motives of the? Uvea of the great mass of men; and any party which tries to ignore them or pnU them for a long time in a secondary position u sure to euffer for it. They are pushing their way to the front in the politics of all civilized countries, in *pite of the efforts of kings and princes and chancellors and managers to keep than out of sight. Thsy are at this moment the impending questions of the politics of this country. We are reminded of this by an editorial in this paper about a mouth ago, in which was this paragraph: The questions of the future will be Industrial ones. The clao-trap about spelling nation witb*a big “X," and the "confederate brigadier" talk won't amonnt to much. Thev will be vigorously harped upon by the small fry, bat they are only minor keys. If there is aa attempt to plsy the whole tuae with them there will be dutcord. The republicans can’t afford false issues. They are in a better position now to make the fight on the true ones than any ather organization. It remains to be seen whether their brains apd honesty will get the chance to improve this, or whether “the machine’’ will do the other. We are of this opinion still aa to the quefctions. As to whether the ^brains and honenty of the republican party is making headway to handle these questions, or whether the machine is doing the other < we refrain yet from gaying. TheWachine in Maine made no impression: on the greenback vote. In Massachusetts* Butler returns to the charge stronger than last year, and the questions are wholly state questions. —In New York, both Robinson and Cornell, in their letters of acceptance refer only to state issues, entirely ignoring sectional questions, in California the issues were purely those that concerned the state, and the Kearney party captured the chief city and got two out of three of the railroad commissioners, who are very powerful under the new constitution. So that although “the machine” is predominant within the party, in most of these states it does not feel itself strong enough to make the fight on “the clap-trap about spelling nation with & big ‘N’ and the confederate brigadier talk,” but come? forward in the role of a purifier of civil government and a thrifty and honest administrator of civil affairs. This grotesque masquerade is of course the wolf in sheep’s clothing, but the significance of it is that the wolf is compelled to assume such a dress and bleat of peace, instead of coming forth in propria persona* and growling of war. OUKKKNT OOtMUcif f.

Secretary Sherman will begin final work in the Ohio campaign this week. It is the last week, and the big guns will be at work on both sides all along the line. The election comes off next Tuesday. The state is considered safe for the republicans, but the legislature is in doubt. There are now about 30,000 convicts in the state prisons of the country. In conveying this information it is n^ual for the paragrapher to add: “and many more ought to be there.’’ The New York Sun, correcting the Herald of that city for applying the title of “flis Excellency” to the president, recalls the fact that at the adoption of the constitution it was proposed to style the president both “his excellency” and his majesty,” bat any title w as rejected. M assach usetts is perhaps alone in conferring the title of “his excellency” on the governor of th^ state, and “his honor” on the lieutenant-governor. Cyrus W. Field has erected his monument on the traditional spot where Major Andre was hanged aa a spy, and now says that he will erect a monument to Nathan Hale, who was hung as a spy-by the British in New York, if the city will furnish the ground. It is likely that Pfof. Wise has perished. His balloon was old and rotten, he took neither provisions nor ballast, except a drag rope, and if be landed in the Michigan or Canadian woods would die of hunger. The United State* supreme court, which began its annual term yesterday, has 821 cases on the docket, enough to'last three years, without having new ones. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Star recommends as an infallible cure for ivy or sumac poisoning: “Water as hot as can possibly be used without burning; bathe two or three times.”

The fashions now are those of 1T93. The quaint dresses made by Rodrigues of Paris, says the New York Evening Post, copy the highwaisted, cut away coats of ihe empire, in wine and plum-colored cloth, open over plain skirts of striped velvet, with wide square collars and revers to match. The satin cravat with ends tucked under the lapels and the loose girdle knotted above tha hips are touches of modern art in this costume, which Shows a Marguerite back with square simple drapery, arranged to harmonize with the the antique style of the rest of the costume All the queer styles familiar in fading miniatures are prominent in the new fashions. Philadelphia has demonstrated repeatedly that she is a better post of entry and shipping than New York, yet the business of the country has persistently passed her by and gone to Gotham. Indianapolis has repeatedly proven her superiority as a business center. The way to make it so is to do it, not talk about it. The good start made in this direction should be followed by steady progress/

Judge Deady, of the United States eourt in Oregon, has decided that the law in that state, which prohibits contractors doing work paid for by municipalities, from employing Chinamen is unconstitutional. The Burlingame treat he very sensibly construes as giving the Cninese permanent residence here and involving the right to earn a living here, and this right he declares is invaded by such a law. Sensible maul The decision has of coune raised a great hubbub in California *here the new constitution contains many similar laws. Evidently the Chinese don’t “go” with very marked celerity.

Alfred Nichols of Cambridge Citv was thrown against a buzz saw the other day in such a manner that his head barely missed the teeth, bis hat being torn to rags. The saw then struck its fangs into his shoulder, cutting off a point of bone and lacerating his arm in a terrible manner. He is improving. William Meikle, of Pendleton, Ind., yesterday received the famous heavy draft stallion, “Baron,” direct from Scotland. He is five years old, and weighs 2,260 pounds. The animal was to have been here at the fair, but was delayed several days on account of rough weather. John Hopkins sr., a farmer living near Greenwood, met with a severe if not fatal accident yesterday. While plowing with a spirited team, the horses ran away, and as the lines were wrapped around bis wrist, he was dragged across the field and very seriously strained and bruised. His advanced age renders recpvery doubtful. The New Albany and St. Louis Air Line railroad company will soon petition the council of New Albany to call an election on a proposition to extend aid to the amount of $150,000 to $200,000 in the completion of the road. The county commissioners will be petitioned for an election in New Albany,. Georgetown and possibly Franklin townships for a two per cent, subscription.

The People will be republican, and, in its own words," "will be odium of the most malignant character to factions, cliques, rings and general jobbers of political trickery. handling with ungloved hands these individuals, and not sk-L ling into backwardness and silence at their facial distortions when disclosures of corruption have been made.”

The Ingalls Investigation. The Ingalls investigating committee announce that they will close the investigation at Topeka Wednesday. A large number of witnesses ware examined yesterday on both sides, but the testimony has been of about the same indefinite character as heretrfore and therefore of little value. What is not hearsay jtatements is generally contradicted by the accused persons or explained away in some manner.

FatAExploalan. The boilers of Speller’s stfWmills, near Willie, Texas, exploded yeeterday, instantly killing Jas. Henry .^mortally wounding Nep. Powell, colored, ami^Tohn Clove, of Danville, and seriously woundinjf^tf^calding five others. ^

Duetaeea aad lad entry. The puddling furnaces of the Superior mill, Pittsburg, which had been idle for abont six years, were started a few days ago Fire* have been kindled in the Valley mill, Youngstown, for the first time in several yean. Anderson k Co., Pittsburg, (steel) have 500 bands employed, and are ruaning their works to full capacity. A number of ernciblea that have been idle for a year have been pat in operation. All the iron mills in Pittsburg, except Lewis, DalzelkA Co.’s, of Sbarpsbhrg, are runuing. Some difficulty relating to an old litigation keepe this mill “frozen out.” The Lochiel iron worka, at Harrisburg, Pa, which have been idle for five rears, hare an order for 20,000 tons of railroad iron. Arm, Bell A Co.’s nut and bolt works, Youngstown, Ohio, are said te have enough orden to keep them buey for a year ahead. There is great activity in the wholesale trade of Chicago. Sales are twenty or thirty per cent, greater than last fall and the prices obtained are considerably better. Last week the Chicago banks did a rushing business. The clearings aggregated $34,407,509.55, against $24,869,434 59 for the corresponding week last year. For the months of July, August and September, 1879, the clearings amounted to over $318,000,000, against something mofs-fhan $243,000,000 for 1878*and $250,000,000 for 1877. These figures tell the story of a great improvement in the condition of business. The upward movement in butter continues, and the nighest prices were obtained yesterday. The boot and shoe business continnes brisk for seasonable work and all, over the country there is only oae report, “good trade and no stocks in store.” There are none «in manufacturers’ hands, and the odds and ends of goods that could formerly be picked up are not to be found now. Goods are delivered as fast as possible, and in a good many large warehouses the floors are completely bare on Saturday night, as every case is sent forward to buyers who are anxious to fill their orders to the interior retailers. Large quantities of leather have been parchased by manufacturers for brogans and similar goods, but there is not likely to be any general dearth of leather at present.—[Boston Advertiser,

f Mow Not to Help the Poor. [RobertCollyer’s Chicago Farewell.] It was mv business shortly after I came among yon to help the poor by all means in my power, and I trust it is net egotism to fay 1 learned that difficult business pretty thoroughly. I think too, that the most momentous lesson of all was this: Tbatabout the worst thing you can do in helping the poor is to destroy their self help, and make them two dollars poorer in nature for every dollar you put into their hand?, or expend on. T.hem in any way which fails to call out their own energy and self respect. Don’t Understand It. [Fort Wayne Sentinel.] The Indianapolis News fills a page or two with fulsome laudations of President Hayes, upo* the occasion of his visit to the state fair. It is well enough, we suppose, for The News to advertise Hayes just as it does the fat cattle, the fast horses, and the other attractions at the fair, but it is surprising that a paper usually so sensible and level-headed as The News should cover with its praise and flattery sach a very small specimen of a man as Mr. Hayes evidently is. The Mt. Voruoii Dishonesty. , [Detroit News.1 The financial irresponsibility, which is a characteristic of Indiana politics, manifested itself in a curious way at tie city of Mt. Vernon in that state, by the dissolution of the city government to avoid paving aa honest debt. Sharp follows these ^Tosiers! Yet there are plain people still left in this cunning world who would say they were no bet* ter than a band of thieves.

I What a Live Paper Deea. [Warsaw Republican.] The Indianapolis News with characteristic enterprise in extending a cordial greeting to President Hayes aad party on Wednesday last, gives a sketch of the president’s life and public service, also something about Mrs. Hayes and General Sherman, and their tour through the west, and portraits of the President and Mrs. Hayes, besides the asual amount of current news. The News is a live paper.

Our Debt ta t he Red Man, [ Wtshiagton Star.] In the Indian office there is a map showing the amount of territory acquired by the whites from the Indians by cession. It shows that over four-fifths of our territory wa« thus acquired from the red aaau. Indeed, nearly all, save the original thirteen states acquired by conquest, and some little patches in Ohio, Indiana and other western states, was acquired by treaty with the red men.

Cosnectlcat Election. Quite full election returns make it certain that the constitutional amendments providing for biennial elections for the legislature, and extending the term of office of the judges of the supreme and superior courts to the age of 75 years, are overwhelmingly defeated. The towns generally elected town officers. The returns, as-far as received, are encouraging to the republicans.

» The Majada Mine#, The rich mines of Majada, Mexico, are causing a rush from across the border that may lead to a movement of annexation to the United States. El Mansajero calls the rush a Yankee invasion. The French newspaper is actively engaged in exciting the jealousy of the Mexicans against the aggressive intentions of Americans.

Adoptlnx Air Brakes In England. The English board of trade has been endeavorirg to force the adoption of a safety brake on the railroads in Rpgland, the Westinghouse being preferred, although it has two English rivals. About a fifth of the passenger engines and one-fourth of the cars on English railroads are provided with air brakes. But He la a Doctor. ^ [Boston Herald,] When the somewhat celebrated Mr. T. A Bland, of Washington, came here last year to speak for Butler, he was advertised as “Dr. Bland.” This year he is “Hon. T. A. Bland,” and next year he will probably be “Gen. T. A. Bland.” Fiat titles, all of them.

A Decided Dlff«rence. [French paper ] “I tell you,” says a rabid free-thinker, “the idea that there is a God has never come into my bead I” “Ah ! precisely like my dog. But there is this difference—he doesn’t go around howling about it.”

Lynchere Foiled. A mob of 500 men early yesterday morning went to the jail at Fulton, Wisconsin, where Baumgarten, the butcher of little Sandy. White, was confined, with the intention of lynching him. The jailor had, however, learned of the scheme and removed the murderer to a place of greater safety.

t - . . . _ The lessen was begun with a stock lor soups. The VM

collets, meats, vegetables, oysters, etc. Miss Corson began the making of the «rup stock. She said that for every quart of water for the snap stock or broth one pound of ineot or bones ta to be used. The bonce should be put on the bottom of the pot with the meet on top. This should boil slowly for two hours. When It begins to boll the top should be skimmed. One hoar before the stock ta done add to it one carrot and one turnip pared, one onion and a bunch of aoup vegetables, parsley, celery, etc. The stock should taem be strained Into aa ear then jar, ana left to cool uncovered.

A pish or macabosi. To boll macaroni: This should never be washed or wet previous to cooklog. It jnay be wiped off with a napkin. Put the macaroni in plenty of water, with a tablespoonful of Salt to every quart of boiling water. It abould be allowed to boil until tender enough to be easily pierced with a fork. It ta advisable to have the pot in which It ta cooked large enough to avoid the broking of the macaroni pipes- After the pipes have boiled until tender, pour them out into a sieve or coOeoder, and pour cold water over them to wash off the 'gluten which naturally exudes from the macaroni in boiling, and allow it to remain In cold water nil It is time to drett it.

FISH TURBANS. To make filet or turban offish: You prepare your fish for cooking by removing the flesh from the bones, the fish having been previously scalded and cleaned at the fishmonger a. This ta done by cutting through the side of the fish dewa Its entire length to the bone, then turning the knife Irom you and running it along tne back bone you remove the flesh from the bone. To remove the skin from this you hold the end of the filet tightly with your thumb and Anger, and cut down to the tkin beneath, then guide the knife along firmly and the skin ta easily removed. Toe fileta so cut Aay be breaded and fried or baked. As I shall baki them to-day, first butter the dish and then dip vie filets in the melted butter; tie them up la turban shape with strings. To make the stumog for these turbans I use crackers or bread, first soaked in water, then squeezed out as dry as possible, then season with salt aud pepper to ault the taste, and add eggs if you choose or a teaspoonful of butter. HOIXANDAta* AJTD BECH AX XL SkCCRS. "To make Hollandaise: I take a tablespoonful of butter and a tablespoonful of flour. Put these in a saucepan without water and stir over the fire, carefully rubbing out the lumps. To tnta add slowly, a little at a time, one pint of boll log water. This makes an ordluary thick sauce. If cream sauce Is wanted, a pint of milk may be added instead of tbe water. Reason the pint of sauce with one-fourth of a saucespoonful ol white pepper (I preler it to black), a quarter of a aaucespoonful of grated nutmeg. Made in this way it ta called Bechamel sauce. To tinl-h It as Hollandaise sauce, add a teaspoonful of olive oi’ the yolks of two eggs and two tablespoonfuls of vinegar or lemon juice. I shall use it lor the fish to-day in the form of Hollandaise sauce. I shall use the Bechamel tauce to dresa a part of the macaroni. The fish 1 have put in a quick oven for fifteen minutes. You finish the macaroni by cracker crumbs on the top, wi’h butter, and bake it (for baked macaroni) in the oven. To make HoUandaive potatoes: You make a sauce like this sud have boiled potatoes, cut iu quarters and warmed in the sauce.

farmer’s macaroxi. To make Farmer’s macaroni which is boiled mscaroni with fried onion-, you cut the onions in three slit es aud fry in hot butt t until brown.then [our butter and on lots over the macaroni previously heated and serve up. You can put cracker du»t on top and also sift gra ed eh* esc over it aud brown in the oven or serve without cheese; it is entirely a matter of taste. To t>oll and bake potatoes: To boll, you put them in boiling water, a tahlespoonful os salt to a quart of water. It Is most economical to cook them with their Jackets on. The most nutritious can of ibe potato lies next to the skin. To bake potatoes you wash them thoiroughly and put In a very hot ovtn taking them out when they are soft to the touch. If thev'cook after this they shrivel and grow heavy. They should be, served in an open dish, for if covered they are apt tor become watery by reason of the condensation of the steam.

HOW TO MAKE HI fR JELLY. Totnakewine jelly: Y'ou take gelatine—this ia Coxe’s, and follow bis directions—one aud a half ounces; soak for ten minutes in a pint of cold water, then add one pint boiling water. Wuen the gelatine has dissolved add one pint of wine (thia is sheiry wine) or if you want fruit jelly, one pint of fruit juice. To this add half a pound of sugar, stirring until it dissolves. To the boiling water you have added the grated yellow rind and juice of one lemon, a blade of mace (or a small quantify of grated nutmeg) and an inch of stick cinnamon. Instead of graiiog you may cut dTthe outer rind of the lemon very thin, avoiding the bitter taste of the thick skin. Strain through a napkin or jelly bag inio mould* end allow to cool. To clarify jelly: After mixing tbe hot water, etr., beat the whites of two eggs and stir into the jelly Put into a saucepan and allow to come slowly to a boil, stirring all the time. When it comes to the boiling point set aside away from the fire for a few minutes. The albumen of the egg collects the impurities and comes to the surface, Y'ou may then strain Into moulds.

TOUGH MEAT MADE TKHDKR. To make,tough meat tender.-44ood meat ia often lough lx cause sold by tne butcher too soon after killing, nefore the fibers have relaxed, while it bus that peculiar properiy known as “rigor mortis." These fibers do not usually relax until the meat has been killed two days or more. To make it tender, put It on a platter on which yeu have put a tanle•noonful of vlnegsr, a sauce siioon of pepper and three tableapoobfuls of olive oil or melted butter; no salt. Put the meat in this and turn every fifteen or twenty minute*. 1/ very tough leave It over night. To-morrow X shall take this steak up again and broil it. To make potato salad: Take boiled potatoes and peel them. For half a d< sen potatoes or three large nix a, take one raw sliced onion and dreskl with French salad dressing, which is made with half a sauces pc on ful pepper, a level teaspoonful of salt, a tahlespoonfurvinegar and three tabletpoonfuls of ralad oil, which is all to be poured over the sliced potatoes and oaions.

CAMILLE.

.The Jane Coombs combination played tea very small house, even lor Monday night. The play was Camille, Mbs Coombs taking the title roieHer Camille dillers In some respects from tbe usual version, and she nlays it in a thoroughly artistic 'manner, avoiding all rant and tbe stage-striding afheted by that class of the Interpreters of the emotional drama, of whom Matilda Heron was the chief. There Is a reserved* force in her acting which is very Impressive, and it taa real pleasure lo listen to her faultless elocution. Her wardrobe is costly and elaborate. Her support was not a 1 that could be wished. To-night the old favorite of “I-ondon /asursnee" will be played, to be followed during ihe week by tbe "Lady of Lyons," “An Unequal Match," "School for Scandal," ‘‘Hunch-

back," etc.

BUFFALO BILL. The audience at the Oran<J Opera house last night resembled a tree.blggest at the top. Boy# and youths crowded the tipper stories and yelled delight at the painted Indians and the frequent brandishing of pistols and flourishing of knives. The Buffalo combination is good in its way. It fulfills tbe-purpoee of ils being with fidelity and to the satisfaction of it* auditors. It has a capital low comedian In Mr Bererly, and an actress of real merit in Miss Jones, It will iciuain for two nights longer. * 4 THE MAEMSEROHOR.

sulky’s coming benefit. * The benefit tendered to Mr. James Whitcomb R ley is announced for the Kith at tbe Park theater. Mr. Riley elands without challenge at the head of Indiana poets. To a remarkably fertile imagination he adds a delicacy of touch, a tendernem of sympathy, and an artistic conception of what constitutes poetry that render bia writings deii*htfui. As a reader he Is nolle* original and impressive. He reads entirely his own productions. His dialect ta exclusively Hooeier, and a short lifetime spent within constant hearing of It, has enable him, with ike help of hi* quick perceptions, and natural mimetic powers to reproduce all that is in it of strength, pathos and hupor. He has a particular affecuonlor children, and baa a peculiarly happy faculty of counterfeiting their artlesan*ae in speech and manner. Mr ' Riley ta young almost boyish in appeeararce, and lacks that maturity In his methods which Urn* and study only can inpart. When be has hsd lime and means te pursue his studies untrammeled, and has teamed to train his luxuriant Imagination within arttatlc lines, he will take a high rank among the literary men of the country.
