THE EFFECT OF THE VICTORY. The Efforts of Republican Readers to Cre. ate Distrust and Disturb the Peace for the Sake of Discrediting the Democ racy. Since the election of President Cleve land the Republicans of the Blaine stamp have been devoting their energies to two points. They have been trying to persuade mill owners to shut down and turn their hands adrift, and have been predicting all sorts of persecution and suffering for the negroes of the “Southern” States. Fred Douglass thinks the return of the Democracy to power means “the political death of the negro.” Other less intelligent Repub licans are foolish enough to assert that it is the first step towards the re-estab lishment of slavery. It is evidently the wish of some Re publicans to disturb the peace and dam age the business interests of the coun try as much as possible for the purpose of discrediting the Democracy. That was the object of the long delay in ad mitting defeat. These disappointed politicians are indifferent as to the inju ry they may inflict on business or indi viduals so long as they can make it ap pear that disturbance and distress result from Democratic success. Manufacturers will soon find that an honest Democratic policy is far better for them than the unhealthy favoritism of Republicanism for which they have had to pay very dearly. As to the col ored citizens of the South, whose rights are entirely safe under the Constitution, no greater blessing could have befallen them than the overthrow of the Repub lican party. Designing persons have taught them that they had some great advantage to expect from the Adminis tration at Washington of which the Democrats at home deprived them, and this has served to keep them restless and dissatisfied. With this deception exploded they will settle down to the consideration of their real interest and the intelligent exercise of their political rights. Democracy seeks to make people en lightened and happy. It raises the op pressed, instructs the ignorant and pro tects the weak. Democracy would not have conferred the franchise suddenly on millions of negroes sunk in igno rance, but since they have been in vested with the privileges of citizens, Democracy seeks to make them capable of using them intelligently. The negroes only study their own good when they resist the attempt of the Re publicans to hold them as political chattels and vote as their own judgment dictates. The interests of the citizens of a State'are identical, whether their skins are black or white, and it is quite natural that where a majority of the whites are Democratic a majority of the colored citizens should be the same. Four years of Democratic rule will dispel all the illusions raised by partisan unscrupulousness for political effect. The South will be “solid” in the future, because ignorance will gradually disap pear and the negroes will learn that the white residents of their own States have naturally more regard for their in terests and are more honestly concerned for their prosperity than Republican partisans, who only enfranchised them because they believed they could use them for their own purposes, and who to-day, if they could, would reduce them to a condition of political servitude only a little less degrading than the bondage from which they were released by the war. —Washington Post. UNCHANGED BLAINE. The Surprising Result of the Late Political Contest, According to the Defeated Can didate. Really Mr. Blaine's account of his own defeat leaves it quite uncertain that he is not yet victorious. The Irish Dem ocrats, thousands of them, voted for Ahim, the Germans didn’t desert him, prand the Independents had no following worth mentioning. According to his analysis of the vote he seemed to have gained everywhere, and yet, curiously enough, to very little purpose. This is a surprising result of a political contest. He appears to lay the most direct blame on Providence and Dr. Burchard—the former under the guise of “the weather” and the latter as “an intolerant and highly improper” minister with a weak ness for alliteration. The interview, which was evidently furnished for the purpose of general publication and letting Mr. Blaine down gently after his political miscarriage, was not contrived in good taste. Blaine, as usual, appears as his own eulogist and defender. He says in effect to the country, only for sundry acci dents, and “if ” so and so had not hap pened Blaine would have been elected. All this kind of speculation may be true enough, but it is not to the point; it leaves unsaid the only thing that he should have said, viz.: A manly, straightforward admission that he was beaten in a square tight, and a magnan imous recognition of the public worth of his opponent and a patriotic expres sion of his respect and support for the people's choice. No, Blaine will never, we fear, be anything but a brilliant partisan, and his defeat will in no wise remand him to private life. If he can not have official position he will at least live publicly and* manage to at tract notice. Almost simultaneously with this interview explaining his de feat, comes the intelligence that Blaine is not content with the quietness of his home in Maine. He is said to be look ing for a suitable mansion in Wash ington, where he will live during the winter, engaged in the agree able task of finishing his history and keeping the author on the sur face of events. This is following Beaconsfield's advice in reference to a political defeat, “act as if it had not happened.” Blaine is determined not to be shelved, and, as he has strength, energy and ability, there might yet be a future of great prominence before him, were it not for the unfortunate records he has left of his Congi’essional career. These can not be effaced or destroyed. They beat him before the people this time, and they wall be apt to do it again, should he test their power. He had better confine himself to literature, leave politics alone, and liye serenely on the capital, political and financial, that he has snugly stoved away. He might add an additional volume to his history, embracing the changes and chances that led to his defeat, with special refer ence to the danger of such enemies as Conkling and of such friends as Dr. Rurchard, and, above all, of the folly of writing too many letters. — tit. Louis Republican. BLAINE’S SCHEME. Impossible to Resist the Conclusion That Blaine's Utterances Are Intended to Stir JTp Strife at the Sooth. If Blaine’s malignity were mere sore beadedness it might be overlooked. But when his inflammatory utterances are taken into consideration with those of Fred Douglass and such blatant organs as the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, it is impossible to resist the conclusion that they spring from a deliberate pur pose to stir up strife at the South. It is hoped very evidently that the negroes can be moved to such a display of ani mosity against the whites as to arouse the latter to retaliation. Then will Blaine and his followers come to the front with a prompt “We told you so” and a combined effort to fasten respon sibility for the result upon the election of Cleveland. The design is so patent, however, that the ultimate purpose of the schemers is sure to be defeated. If a race con flict does come in the South the people both North and South will understand very well who has done the infamous work of fomenting strife and inflaming passions. Mr. Blaine is a magnetic man and a plausible. But he has neither magnetism nor plausibility to deceive the people as to his responsibility for a war of races should such a war unhap pily come. A solemn and heavy respon sibility it will be, too, one from which he may well shrink. He knows some thing of the feeling of a people express ing their condemnation of corruption in office and their hatred of lying. But he will find the breeze whicn blew him one side on the 4th of November but a summer zephyr in comparison with the whirlwind of wrath and indignation which will visit him and his co-con spirators if their present wicked scheme proves successful. Meanwhile it is the duty of all thoughtful, sensible men, North as well as South, to see that the scheme does not succeed. The influence which these inflammatory appeals of Blaine and Douglass and other wicked demagogues are having and likely to have upon the colored people of the South must be counteracted by showing them the true character of such appeals and the ab sence of any ground for fear that the change in the National Administration means anything but good to their race. With the intelligent colored men this will not be difficult. Indeed, they are al ready telling each other that the elec tion of Cleveland will be a benefit to them. With the unintelligent, already filled with distrust and vindictiveness through the lying arts of partisans and demagogues, it will be more difficult, but with discretion and patience it will be accomplished even in their case.— Detroit Free Press. REPUBLICAN RAVINGS. What the Defeated Republicans Are Saying of the South. The defeated Republicans are declar ing that the election of Grover Cleve land means that the South will control the whole land; that all the old Con federate States will rule the States that stayed in the Union, and that evils be yond the bounds of the multiplication table will be hurled at once upon the country. Now that the election is defi nitely settled, we might imagine that these pretenders were only joking the people, but they have been in power so long that like monarchists, yet with less excuse because they are not blinded by tradition, they are so blasphemous as to claim that they hold power by Divine right, and claim they are the party of “great moral ideas.” Such madness can not deceive. These maniacs may declare that President Davis and the remnant of his Cabinet will be moved to Washington on wheels, but their absurdities frighten none but themselves. There is a new South, whose people long ago accepted the result of the war, and whe bavo been showing by their industry, their euterpri.se and their loyalty to the Union that they are far more patriotic than those Republicans who, in time of peace, have striven for thesakeof place and favor to array States against States and to feed the smoldering fires of a dangerous sectionalism. But the Republican party, which had long ago outlived its proper age and* mission, is sinking into the peevish im becility of the “slippered pantaloon.” It dies hard, and on its death-bed gasps out its selfish, miserly hate of the party w’hose honesty and liberal spirit it has so deeply feared. Let it die and have the peace at last that it has so long with held from the people of this our common country. — Richmond (Pa.) State. Don’t Want Gifts. Persons who propose to cultivate President Cleveland's acquaintance through the medium of “small tokens of their esteem ” should carefully read the following letter which Coat aistin guished gentleman mailed to Mr. \TPll iam J. Loader, of Brooklyn, in return ing a Newfoundland dog: Executive Mansion, Albany, N. Y., Nov. 27. My Dear Sir: Day before yesterday, when I arrived here in the evening from the Executive Chamber, I found in the house a fine Newfoundland dog. and yesterday I learned through your letter that the dog was intended as a gift from you. I hope you will not deem it affectation on my part when I write you that T am very averse to receipts of gifts, especially in the relation of strangers, which you and I sustain to each other. A number of small gifts have been sent to me, some of them, doubtless, from those who seek In this manner to show their good will, while others have been received from those whom I suspect of attempting purelv to procure an acknowledgment. It is hard to offend the former class by any exhibition of churlishness or lack of appreciation, and my disposition is to humor the desire of tho others. Tiie ac ceptance of presents of value which could in volve an obligation 1 should deem, in my present position, entirely inadmissible, and I confess 1 should feel better if all gifts of ev ery description were discontinued. 1 have determined to assure you most heartily of my full appreciation of your kindness in sending me the dog, and that I do not at all distrust your motive in doing so: and. while thanking you for the friendliness which prompted the gift. I ask you to permit me to return the same. I shall please myself and hope not of fend you by sending the dog by express to your address to morrow, at n.y expense. Yours, very truly, Gboveh Cleveland.

He says that nowhere else in the world, unless it be in Italy, can sweet corn be grown in such perfection as in our country. — Chicago Herald. —Handy Pudding: To one quart of milk add the yolks of three eggs, sugar to taste, one tablespoonful of corn starch, let it come to a boil, pour out to cool, beat the whites of the eggs with sugar, put on top, and set in the oven to brown. Flavor with lemon. — Toledo Blade. —Biscuit: Dissolve one rounded ta blespoonful of butter in a pint of hot milk; when lukewarm, stir in one quart of flour, one beaten egg, a little salt, and a teacup of yeast; work the dough until smooth. If in winter, set in a warm place; if in summer, a cold place, to rise; in the morning work softly and roll out a half inch thick; cut into bis cuits and set to rise for thirty minutes, wh n they will be ready to bake.—Bos ton Budget. —Farmers who overwork their boys are apt to create in them a distaste for farm life which will drive them into some other choice. Probably in five cases out of six they would be happier and more successful as farmers than anything else, especially if they become educated and progressive iarruers, working with brains as well as hands. But if all their boyhood is passed in the hardest drudgery, they will come to dislike farm life, and long for anything which offers a change. “All work and no play” should be avoided in boy-dis cipline as well as its injurious opposite. —Albany Journal. RYE AS A FARM CROP. Considerable Rye May be Used by the Farmer to Good Advantage. During several years rye has not been a favorite crop in this country. Our native population prefer strictly white bread, which can not be made from rye, Indian corn has taken its place as a food for fattening animals. It has also been generally used for feed ing to hogs. In colonial days, as well as for some time after the Revolution, rye was commonly employed for mak ing alcohol and whisky. As the West became settled corn took the place of rye for making these articles. In the New England States, where “Boston brown bread” is extensively used on tables, rye meal was formerly em ployed for mixing with corn meal. During the past few years, however, wheat middlings have commonly taken its place. In quality they are greatly inferior to rye meal, but their cheap ness causes them to be used. The Ger mans and Scandinavians who come to this country continue to eat rye bread in preference to that made from wheat flour. This practice is obviously the re sult of early experience, and may not continue, the present generation. At present, however, the preference of the people from Central and Northern Europe for rye bread is strong. A few years ago they continued to buy rye flour although it was considerably higher than the best wheat flour. That rye bread is in-some respects superior to that made from wheat flour is ob vious. It has an agreeable/ sweet flavor that wheat bread does Cot have, and also retains moisture longer aftt r it comes from the oven. Still, the prof pect that rye will ever take the place ft holds as a material for making bread in Central and Northern Europe is very Eoor. Neither is it likely that rye will e extensively used as food for the in ferior animals or in the manufacture of alcoholic drinks. While it is improbable that rye will ever be a popular crop with “bonanza farmers” there are good reasons for be lieving that its production will prove profitable to many who cultivate laud on a somewhat small scale. Consider able rye can be used by the general farmer to excellent advantage. Some rye is desirable for food for human be ings. if for no other purpose than to afford variety. It is an excellent food :'or fowls of all kinds. Rye is very beneficial to horses when fed in limited quantities. It furnishes excellent food for young animals of all kinds. Hogs will thrive on rye in all stages of their growth. All who have had experience in carp culture recommend rye in pref erence to all other grains for feeding these fish. Rye can be raised in loca tions and on soils where fair crops of wheat can only be produced by the ex penditure of much labor and the appli cation of liberal amounts of valuable fertilizers. It is the best crop for lands that are very sandy and deficient in the elements of fertility. It is not an ex hausting crop, like wheat or flax. The plants are more hardy than those of wheat, and the grain is not as subject to injury as barley, But a small amount of seed is required. It yields more than wheat, and is produced at a smaller cost. It is less likely to be in jured by insects. Growing rye fur nishes excellent winter and spring pas turage. It is also an excellent material for soiling. It is ready to be cut several weeks before clover and early grasses are. Next to red clover it is the best crop to plow under for the purpose of enriching the soil. Rye produces more straw than wffieat or barley, and it is much more valuable. Besides being useful for feeds, it is valuable for mak ing thatch, packing goods, tying up grape vines, and tilling beds. in the matter of general utility there are few crops that will compare with rye.—Chi cago Times. Beef. Beef is cut up and the parts are named as follows: The slaughtered ox is first “quartered,” that is, cut the four parts after the hide has been removed, each quarter comprising a leg and that por tion of the flesh immediately connected with it. The fore quarter is divided in to the “rattle,” the better part of the fore - quarter, and the back; and the “chuck,” the neck flesh of the animal, and the poorest beef, used frequently for stews and pie-meat, is cut from the back. The rattle is much better than the back on account of its not having the coarse tissue and toughness of that part, and is near the belly of the animal. The hind-quarter, which is sometimes very incorrectly called the “hind should er,” is the mealiest portion of the flesh. It is divided into the round, furtherest down the leg, the rump just above it, and the loin or sirloin, extending from the hip to the rib and including and covering by a slightly coarser grade of meat, the precious tenderloin, the pride of luxury, and considered the finest bit of beef. The round is, of course, much less tender than the rump, being furth er down the limb, and the rump is yet less delicate than the loin.— Stockman. One Cent. Boys have now a new reason to save their pennies. At the sale of Professor Anthon’s collection of coins some days since, a cent of the coinage of 1792 brought $77.50. This precious cent was coined under the direction of Thomas Jefferson, Secretary of State, to whom Congress gave the matter in charge in 1791. It was debated for some ■ time whether the United States should make its own coins or have them made abroad, and Mr, Jefferson being consulted, gave it as his opinion that coinage was “an attribute sovereignty” which ought to be delegated. Congress having adopt ed his view of the subject, he sent to Europe for workmen and set up a small mint at Philadelphia. At that, period no copper was mined in America, nor were our inexhaustible stores of this metal known to exist. Mr. Jefferson, therefore, had to import his copper, and this valuable cent was made of part of the first lot received. Any careful boy can begin a modest coin collection, which, in his old age, may be worth much more than its weight in gold.— N. Y. Ledg r. Making it Even. The Duke of Wellington got a letter once from a lady saying that she was soliciting subscriptions for a certain church in which she was interested, and had taken the liberty to put him down for £2OO, and hoped be would promptly send her a check for that amount. He forthwith replied that he was glad she thought so well of him; certainly he would respond to the call; but he, too, was interested in a certain church which needed subscriptions, and, count ing upon his correspondent’s well-known liberality, he hud put her down for £2OO, “and so,” he concluded, “no money need pass between us.”— Exchange. —There are now six different persons in Chicago in the business of making artificial dimples, and you can’t walk a block in that city without some wo man will dimple at you in the melting est manner. —Detroit Fr e Press.
