THE COLOR LINE.
The rejection by GarficM Post,G. A. It.,
wf Portland. Ore., of ft colored raMi who
tad applied for membership has caused
considerable discussion In the itorlliweit.
It seems to have been felt that ll would be
discreditable to let tho report go abroad
ttiat . colored soldier had been black'b.lled
simply on account nf his color. Onrs
tnemed cotemporary, the New York Etcw

Ultcn by tho members of the Grand Army
Tost ys: Iu the North, at least, preju
dices of that sort, though still llngerlne,
Juvo souistUliu of tho nature of an anach
ronism. To object to a colored man simply
because ha Is a colored wan Is a Dr. Fell
ntrilpattiY too unreasoning to be confessed.
So we find that a new reason has been
found for refutlrg membership In the post
to this Portland colored man. It Is now
raid tb.it ho was blackballed because he is
cook.
Was there ever a more whimsical andab
urd objection? It reads llko a joke. Why
ahould anybody object to cooks? Among
tho genuine benefactors of mankind they
take a hiRh place. Not only the physical
but the mental distinction of a race de
pends In a largo measure upon the food It
tats, and the skill and scloice with which
its food Is cooked. The higher a raco In
elvllUatlen, tho better Its cooks. These
are the real makers and masters of tho
world. Generals, diplomatists, statesmen
re their subjects. A few grains too much
of pepper In Iris Wiener Schnitzel might
put Blsmark Cn such raslug Irritation that
war with France would be declared at once.

Bilcfet w cltarra and repose his soul that he
wouldn't think of war. Who knows how
many murders, changes of dj nasty, civil
dissensions, rebellions, and revolts and In
digestions of the State have been due to
iher betlhh acts of bad cooks? On the
other band, how many treaties of peace.
family reconciliation, negotiations of hap
py marriages, and general concord and
good will have come from the moral effect
of the admirable preparations of culinary
genius?
If this Portland man. Is a good cook no
honor Is too great for hlra. Even If ho Is a
bad one he ought not to be blackballed. He
should be reformed, not ostracised.

that ho Is busily engaged in opposing the

J AT Gould ventures the opinion:
"Stocks ought to go up now; only artificial
causes can keep them down." A warning
to tho Utile fellows, perhaps, to get in out
of tho rain.

Broafflrirt.Suw M Letter.
The school directors of Carbon county
Iiave exhibited a generous disposition in
Toting for the superintendent of schools an
increase of two hundred dollars per year on
his salary. We are pleased to note this
fact, U for no other reason than that It
shows the people of Carbon county are
awake to the Importance of educational ad
vancement.
Mondat, May 30, will be Decoration
Day. The Grand Army Post here has al
ready appointed a commltteo to make ar
rangements for the proper observance of
the day, and It behooves our citizens, the
church and schools, to heartily co-operato
with them In their efforts towards the
proper celebration of a day, which, while
It brings back sad memories, fills thehearts
ef all, and none more so than the "boys
who rallied round their country's fl?c,"
with feelings of loye and patriotism for a
nation second to none in tbo whole world.
THE THIRD TEKM.
Sine Register and Recorder Handwork's
name has been mentioned so prominently
In connection with a rcnomlnatlon to that
office, much ado has been made In refer'
ence to a "third term," both by Republl
cans and Democrats. About two years
ago the leadlDg Carbon county newspapers
Advocated and secured for George W. Es
ter the nomination and election for the
third time to tho office of I'hotlionotary.
By so doing the Democracy departed from
the beaten path of custom and have opened
iv way for a continuation of a third term
Thero Is no reason why a faithful and ef
Hclent official should not be kept In ofllcu
for three or even four succeslve tcrnn, so
long as he conducts the affairs of his oftlcc
In an honest and capable manner. This
Sir. Handwerk has done, foron all fides we
bare heard words laudatory of his kind and
courteons conduct to all parties with whom
he has had business transactions. How
ever, in tho rush and scramble for olllco
many a good man Is downed while many
find the way to tha top as a reward for dir
ty political manipulation. Already a num
ber of prominent and canable Democrats
have given evidence of a desire to hold the
office", but with tho way opened for a third
term they will find ft "hard tow to hoe,"
uo.matter who will bo nominated.
Business men will And tho Advocate

tion larger, by far, than any other county
paper.
A New Jeiisky contemporary advocates
the pensioning of public school teachers.
"Tney never receive lilgli pay," says our
exchange, "and many of them devote their
whole lives to the thankless and fameless
task. Surely a teacher who has served the
public for thirty or forty years is worth
some consideration."
CONOH&TULATORY!
TaiE Reading, (Pa.), Herald speaking of
Prof. T. M. Balliet's re-election as Super
intendent says: " The unanimous election
of Mr. Balliet as superintendent of city
schools Is a matter of congratulation, not
only because It ensures us a good superin
tendent for the next three years, but be
cause It Indicates that he is to be supported
heartily In his efforts to Improve the schools.
We think It can be said without flattery
that the city has been very fortunate In
securing the services of Mr. Balliet. lie Is
a thoroughly trained educator, enthusiastic
In his profession, always projr.'tslve, and
aa untiring worker. Aside from the evi
dences of bis efficiency which we have in
the improvement In our schools, we have
the testimony of prominent educators all
over the country, by whom he Is regarded
as standing In the very front rank of his
profession. During the short time that he
has rilled this office ho has given I he schools
of Reading a reputation which they never
bad before, and it Is no uncommon thing
now for teachers and educators In other
cities to como hero to study the methods of
our school with a view of Imitation,"
The dandj hank teller must go sooner
or later to Canada.
It has beeu promised that the next Con-
grsit will certainly reduce, the tariff.

What with Legislative Investigations and
Republican tribulations the week just past
has not been' uninteresting. A political
power In tho Sixteenth Assembly Dlsti let
was Captain Michael Crcgun, otherwise
known among his familiars by the endear
lng name of Mike. Mike had a following
which made his name a terror to asulrtnc
politicians, and woe to the unlucky seeker
after olHce who neglected about election
times to see Mike with a fair boodle.
Time and again there have been rebellious
subjects In Ills bailiwick, but every tlmo
Mike mastered his cohosts and whipped
them Into submission. What he did not
know about ballot boxes, pasters and prim
arlcs was not worth knowing, and In all
of his fights he professed to reDrcscnt legit
imate succession and regular organization,
New York Is a Democratic city, ot that
thero can bo no doubt; but ono thing was
morally certain, no matter who was dc
feated, Mike Cregan invariably came out
on top. The Republican party was whipped
out of Its boots, but that made no differ
enco to Captain Mike. When the party
was knocked out Sllko always came up
smiling, and when the smoke of the con
fllct cleared away he was generally to be
found in some comfortable office, where
there was much to get and little to do, and
not only did Providence reward his faith
ful service, but his devoted followers were
not forgotten by his victorious enemies, an
It was generally understood throughout the
Sixteenth Assembly District that Captal
Mike's Hues had fallen In pleasant places.
There are many nice little billets here that
tho ccncral public wot not of,but the faith
ful workers that man the polls on election
lay know the value of every place to a dol-
ar and when the polls close they are on
hand to claim their reward. Captain Mike
had a friend by the name of Biglln, Barney
Ulglln at your service. For several years
Mr. Biglln had chargo of the baggage of
every immigrant that set his brogaus upon
this gloilous land of freedom at Castle
Garden, and by hook or by crook, most
generally by crook, Mr. Biglln managed to
squeeze about forty thousand dollars per
annum out of our foreign brothers. But to
return to Captain Mike. Last fall there
was an election to fill tho placo of Mr.
Hewitt who had been elected Mayor of
New York. The district was naturally
Republican, but somehow or someway a
Democrat managed to slip In. Mr. Hewitt's
case was peculiar; he was a man of wealth,
a largo employer, and the son-in-law of one
of tho foremost philanthropists of the age,
Tammany had the call and Goneral Frank
Splnol.i, ho of tho Jumbo shirt collar, got
tho nomination. Tho General's Llndley
Murray mlaht not pass muster at Harvard
or Vale, hut ho is sound on general politics
and of hts Democracy thero could bo no
question.
The General does not belong to tho kid
glove brlcade, he believes In his frionds
and sticks to them. When a powerful com
blnatlon Inside tho party downed John
Kelly, and nude th name of Tammany a
reproach, Frank Sulnola stood by the Old
Ship, and said if she was to go down, he'd
be blessed If ho wouldn't go down with
her. To oppose the redoubtable Tammany
brave the Republicans selected Sir.
Thorndyke Rice,, the editor of tho AorfA
American Ifccfew, who had just come from
England smarting under a rebuff from our
minister, Mr. Phelps, in England; who re
fused to rccelvR or present lilm at Court.
Thero was a pretty wldo gap between the
two candidates one representing tho very
elite of our aristocracy and our literature,
and the other the very roughest ofiough
Democracy. There was a natural affinity
between Jllke Cregan and General Splnola.
Thero was nothing In common between
him and Mr. Thorndyke Rice, except Mr.
Thorndyke Rice's cash. Mike got as much
of this as Mr. Rice was willing to part with,
and then It is said made overtures to the
Democratic candidate. Whether ho did or
wiictuer no uiu not is immaterial tlia re
sult being the same. Mr. Rice, notwltli
standing a liberal outlay of patilottsm, In
tellectual culture and cash, was elected to
slay at home, and his hated rival the Tain
many Sachem Is warming a Congressman's
seat In Washington.
Then came settling day, and Mike was
hauled up before the County Committee
It was proven on tho trial that he had tak
en Mr. Rico's money. It was also proten
that the Democratic ballots were peddled
out of the Republican booths, under the
charge of Mike Cregan; ho was convicted,
but when the question came as to giving
him the grand bounce, no fellow could be
found to bell the cat. Then the rival fae
ttons squared themselves for the primaries,
and after one of the most desperate polltl
cal struggles on record, my bold Jllke won
by half a neck; going down all In a heap
as he passed under the string. Mr. Cregan
fell down In a fit at the close of the fight,
and for a few moments It, looked as If he
was about to become a rubjuct for a coron
er's Inquest, but with his usual good luck
ho pulled throuzh; and now, wo may look
for another Investigation, to find out how
and where ho got the nineteen votes that
saved htm. That a man llko Mlko Cregan
should be allowed for an Instant to repre
sent officially a great political party is a
disgrace and a humiliation, shocking In its
treachery and scandalous in its character.
Better, far better, that the party should be
destroyed root and branch, and utterly an
nihilated than that It should owe any por
tion of Its success to such base and truck
ling politicians.
Trouble all along the labor lines strikes

Tho 'longshoremen who went out in the

whether thoy will suffer them to be carried

Both sides are pledged to stand (Jrm, and
the result will he watched by business men
with anxiety from Maine to California. If
the Knights succeed In this stidgzlc, bus!
ncss men might as well throw up the
sponge; and If the business men succeed
good-bye to the walking-delegate, ho ceases
to bo a potential factor in the business of
the future
Occasionally you hoar a cry of hard
times. It certainly looks like it. At a re
cent picture sale, which did not make
much of a noise, over $278,000 was realized
for not a very large collection. Six nights
of Paul cost, us tho neat little sum of $71,
000; and 1 know several shop girls who
paid three dollars a seat at the Saturday
matinee occupying that portion of the
Metropolitan Opera House which Is nearest
the roof. Though Paltl Is a very costly
article, there is ono thing about her, that
every fellow as he comes out declares, that
ho has received the full worth of his money,
There nmsl be some witchery about her.for
the women are as completely captivated as
the men. On the ntuht she sang Lucia
women and girls started up In the boxes
waving tholr handkerchiefs and clapping
their hands like a lot of lunatics. Young
George Gould and his lovely bride were out
to hear Pattl every night. Everything all
over tho houso was at a premium. Stand
lng room down stairs cost you three dol
lars, and comfortable seats in the orchestra
readily brought twenty. It was a great
week for the ticket speculators, and one
enterprising gentleman Is said to have
cleared on the week fully $5,000.
The maro the Legislative Committee
probes tho official villainies of Brooklyn,
the more It becomes evident, that notwith
standing their spiritual advantages, and tho
excellent teachings of tho good Doctor
Talmago and others, thoy are not so very
much better than we are ou this side of the
river after all.
That excellent actor and worthy gentle
man, William Davago, hud a benefit on the
completion of his fifty years upon the stage.
If the result had been commensurate with
his ability and worth, he would have re
alized an Independent fortune. Mr. Coul
dock, now In his eightieth year, who for a
1000 nights borne the honors of Hazel
KIrke, Is also to receive a benefit, for
which several thousand dollars have been
assured.
I neglected to mention last week the ap-
pearanco of tho poet Walt Whitman in our
city. Whatever difference of opinion may
exist as to tho poetic value of "Leaves of
Grass," there can be no two opinions with
regard to his services to our soldiers dining
the war and of tho general lovable charac
ter of the nian,whieh has secured him hosts
of admiring friends on both sides of the
Atlantic. It is not often that any man is
honored by such an audience, some of the
best Intellect, social worth and brilliant
genius ot the city were- there, and the af
fectionate manner In which his auditors
gathered around, told moro eloquently than
words the placo he occupies In tho hearts
of tho people.
The hotels discovered last Sunday that
there was an Excise Law on the statute
books. It has been usual for thirsty trav
elers to walk into tho restaurant portion
of the hotel, sit down at a table, call for a
cocktail, a smash or a julep, and after
chewing a clove walk out; but last Sunday
tho pollco scooped everything from the
Hoffman to Delmonlco's, and from the
amount of swearing done the conclusion Is
forced upon me that New York Is not a
prohibition town.

A new and interesting road law has beeu
iutroduccd and passed In tho Senate. It
enables tax-payers of townships and road
district to contract for making, at their
own expense, the roads of such districts
and thus prevent the levying and collection
of such taxes thereon. It provides that
upon a petition being presented to the
conrt, accompanied by a bond equal to two
hundred dollars for each mile of road set
ting forth that the petitioning tax-payers
are willing to contract forkeeplnc the roads
In repair for one year, the court shall direct
tho Supervisor to enter Into a contract with
the petitioners and upon such contracts
being made no road tax shall be levied

passage of this lav will undoubtedly be of
great convenience to supervisors in the
county districts. .

Mr. EniTon: Under the direction of Com
nilsslonor Coleman the Department of Agricul
ture has been engaged during the past year In
a careful study ot the question relating to the
manufacture ot olcomargarlno and other sub
stitutes for butter, which during the past few
years has become an Important Industry hi sonic
sections of the country. Chemical and micros
copical tests have been lu progess for teveral
months, 'luo results of tho observations will
be ol great benefit to tho consumers of butter,
and of Interest to the general reader. During
tho course of the Investigations It has been
ascertained that a Urge majority of the otcmur-
gailiiofacUirlesarcrHii upon the strictly busi
ness principle, ot seeming the larget-t possible
returns for the capital Invested, anil the ques
tion ot public heal th, seem? to have been entirely
ignored. It lias been common In some ot these
establishments to titllzo the carcasses of horses,
clog and swtue, and the manufactures liave not
beeu In the least particular as to the ag-a or con
dition of tho meat, as by the us'o ot chemical
preparations, offensive smells are destroyed.
The Commissioner In his repoit says: "Too
much hi condemnation of these practices cannot
be said, and so long as I am commissioner of
agriculture. Just so Ionic will I rul-o my voire
against a continuance of the evil. Tliera h a
great deal ot capital Invested in tali enterprise,
to be sure, ami paiticularly In the w est, but Unit
does not Justify Its manufacture, In my pi'luiou,
for It I) Hg.itust the 1 -co pie, mid should be
frowned down. Chemical and mtscrocoptcal
tests have been In progress under the supervis
ion of Profs. V.'yllo and Taylor, of tho agricul
tural department, for several months, and the
result of their observations will be of great bene
fit to tho consumers of butter. I 1 1 list they
will bo scattered boardcast and bear good
fruit."

discover tho cards and ho at once resolved to
turn them to account, in supplying the Dreslstcnt
