opinion that If Mr.. Mast lives long |
enough he will caricature every !
prominent man in the country, no |
matter what his politics or style of
religion" whereupon Harper's
Weekly says:
IF this means that Mr.. Mast will
use his skill wantonly and for the
mere sake of levity, we are very
sure that the paper is mistaken"
1t does not appear to us that MIR.
Mast uses his skill "for the mere
sake of levity," but rather for the
sake of malice. Malice induces the
utterance of falsehoods; malice
causes editors to print and publish
falshoods; malice induces men to
misrepresent, traduce, and slander
each other by word of mouth, in
type, and in pictures. In a word,
malice is the father of lies. Nobody
that we are aware of, objects to Mr..
Nast's ''caricaturing every promi-
nent man in the country" whether
he be Republican or Democrat,
Jew or Christian. What the public
objects to is falsehood and slander.
The objection lies equally to the
spoken, written, printed, or pictur-
ed falshood. Now what we assert,
without fear of successful contra
dction, is this: that of late many of
Mr.. Nast's cartoons represent not
facts, but falshoods For instance:
What it Harper's Weekly should
print in its columns the statement
that the late Illinois Republican
Convention adopted resolution in
favor of disfranchising every color
ed voter in the country. 1t would
be brazen untruth. Suppose
Harper's Weekly should convey the
same impression in the form of a
cartoon; would the picture be any
less falsehood than the paragraph!
Certainly not. Would the editor
or publisher who permitted a false
hood to appear in his paper in the
form of a cartoon be less likely to
permit falseLood to appear in his
editorial or news columns? Logic
ally, no; practically, yes; for we
should be 10th to believe that Har-
per's Weekly would risk the reputa-
ton of its editorial columns for We
racity by printing therein statements
as absolutely false as some of Mast
cartoons to which it has given it's
sanction and space. Editorially,
Harper's Weekly says:
But in such a course Mr.. Mast
does only what every independent
editor or writer for the press now
does.
, This is very nearly true; but the
J fact of the oneness between Mast
, and the average independent editor

There are certain perishable pro-
ducts that must find an immediate
market or there is loss to the pro
ducer; but the great staple crops
may safely be held when there is
good reason for holding and no
pressing reasons for selling. It is
suggested, we notice, that half of
the early crops of grain-say winter
wheat-be stored. The wisdom of
this advice, of cource, depends
upon prospective demand-upon
the old stock on hand at home and
abroad, when the new crop goes
on the market, and upon the
amount of the new crop as COM
pared with that of previous years.
The means for determining the
policy pursued are more complete
than ever before. The crop reports
to the Department of Agriculture,
by commercial reports to the papers,
and the facilities afforded by q
more complete organization Of
farmers than has been before known
in this country, facilitate the OBJ.
tanning of this information.
But the most vicious suggestion
we have seen is that 1T might be
q good plan for the wheat grower
to borrow the money required fo1
immediate use and warehouse al
much as possible of his crop
This is making the producer a spec
ulator on his own products with {
vengeance. Of course it nigh

this would make money betting OF

months hence, and paying 10 +
20 per cent for money to bet with
but, again, he might not make, an
might lose the money margin h
had put up. We regard all advic
that encourages any one to run i
debt, especially when there is n
absolute need of it, vicious. Thi
advice, when given to farmers fc
speculative purposes, involving a
q basis Of action o thorough know
edge of commercial wants an
values, is doubly bad. If a farme
is able to hole his grain for bette
prices without running in debt,
is q different matter; even then /
must take risk; but he does n,

A Few Words TO Housekeepers.

A. long as dish-washing is one of the ills
to which woman flesh is heir. II is the
Hisest philosophy TO make the best of it.
and do il in the best way. In the manner
Of clearing away the table, disposing of
what is left. and in gathering together the
various articles OF use, there is much to be
learned by many who do such work
Some women, or girls, gather up the
knives and forks and spoons together.
when spoons and all silver articles should
form separate division. The pieces of
butter left on the plates should be put by
themselves on small, clean plate, to be
used in cooking, or, ifthev are not mussed,
they may be nodded into shape for the
table again. The butter-dish presents a
more tidy and inviting appearance if wash
ed amer every meal. \ daubed butter
plate is anything but wholesome-looking.
The same rule holds good with regard to
vegetable and meat dishes. A practice
that prevails with some housekeepers of
warming over meats and vegetables in the
same dishes in which they are served at
table, is in very bad taste. Let the dishes
that come to the table be fresh and clean.
and not burnt and cracked, and soaked
with vegetable or meat juices
Have care for the table-cloth in pick
ing up the cutlery. Do not lay knives,
forks. or spoons on it. If grease has fallen
on it, carefully remove it with knife.
Ladies who take special care of their table
linen, remove the crumbs carefully with
crumb knife, which is broad.bladed knife
with a dull edge, and then mind the fold
ing of the cloth, observing the former folds.
Dish-water should always be soft. plenti-
ful. and well-heated. Making exception

house without a well-regulated cistern. or
supply of soft water, deserves all the in.
convenience and uncleanlness that comes
from lack OF it, for soft water is requisite

In washing cutlery. do not throw knives

But square box, with partition put
