No preparation has ever performed such
marvellous cures, or maintained SO
wide reputation, as AYERS CHERRY
PICTORIAL, which is recognized as the
worlds remedy for oil diseases of the
throat and lungs. Its long-continued
series of wonderful cures in all eli
mates has made it universally known
rs o safe and reliable agent to employ.
Against ordinary colds, which are the
forerunners of more serious disorders,
it acts speedily aud surely, always re-
lieving suffering, aud often saving life.
The protection it affords, by its timely
use in throat and chest disorders,
makes it an invaluable remedy to be
kept always on hand in every home.
No person can afford to be without it,
and those who have once used it never
will. From their knowledge Of its
composition and operation, physicians
use the CHERRY PEcrORAL extensively
in their practice, and clergymen RECON-
mend it. It is absolutely certain in
its healing effects. and will always
cure where cures are possible.

SENATOR PLUMB.
The reelection of Senator Plumb, if We
may judge from the expressions which come
to Us from all parts of the State, is assured,
and will probably take place without oppo-
sition. The senator has been the firm friend
of the soldier, on the pension roll or of. He
has been liberal on the financial problem
and frank and outspoken on the Indian
question. He has favored all practical efforts
at reform in the civil service. He has talked
straight from the shoulder and shot his
barbtd shafts at The most brilliant lights in
the senate. he has worked diligently, and
planted his vote on the right side of every
question. He has the experience of six
years to aid him in further achievements.
He should not be politically girdled while
bearing such acceptable fruit to bis own and
the credit of the State. he is q growing
msn--more dangerous on the shelf than in
the senate to his political opponents. We
feel confident that sense OF justice and fair
dealing will bring large msjority of the
members Of the Legislature and influential
politicians TO his support, as the people are
there already -Emporia Republican.

The reports up to date from about one
half of the State, received at the State board
of agriculture, indicate that there is falling
of in the acreage of winter wheat sown this
fall of about twenty per cent. This decrease
IL owing to the unpropitious weather at seed
ing time. The growing wheat is reported
to be looking fine. The increase in the
acreage of winter rye is about ten per cent.
The latter crop is sown largely for winter
and early spring pasture.

UkNsunrSG PUBLIC OFFICIALS.

The Jacksonville Journal has q very
9 nsiole and timely article ON the reckless
criticism by the press Of state officials. 1t
roads wholesome lesson to the fraternity
and il should be well needed. That the
Affairs Of state should be carefully observed,
rsported and commented on by the press in
the interest of the people at large is to be
conceded. That severe criticism may be
freely INDUCED in where il is deserved Is
equally to be admitted. But the din
Guilty is that too often that criticism
degenerates into consciousness toward
an official before the iacts connected with
case under review are duly disclosed. It
|, TO be presumed that the man, whom the
people shall have honored into some pest
orhonor and trust, will be equal to the &C.
G sion and conform to the duties required.
1t is to be presumed, too, that when an at
tack is made by some outside party there
is q reply in readiness. But the official
does not always feel called on TO use the
newspapers for immediate reply, and
so be put forever on the defensive.
His time would be lily employed If he
spent most of IL in that direction, as he
would have to do. The better rule for the
we.l-n Gaming journal to-day is to send its
reporter forthwith to headquarters, and
there procure all the data connected with
tue case. and then the editor, in possession
OF the merits Of the two sides, can balance
accounts, and come TO something like a
proper and fair conclusion. by pursuing
such course the newspaper comes to have
influence with its criticism. A con-
slant firing away upon the least
suggestion of an error or wrong
is calculated, on the other hand, to weaken,
If not destroy, the weight of joamals
position. Notable instances OF thiJ only
recently TRANSFERRED, when GOVERNOR
IRELAND retained DIR. SwEAmNGEN in place
as health officer, and when he appointed
Mr.. LUBBOCK as fish commissioner in place
of Mr.. ROBERTSON, who played such havoc
when he had charge of the carp, the ponds,
etc. So, too, il happened when in the con-
troversy with the governor, the ex-comp-
troller came near making some Of the press
to believe that he had been injured in his
application in the penitentiary business.
A little more caution, u little intenser de-
sire to act fairly, perhaps, will advance the
cause OF Journalism by increasing the con-
fdence in the soundness, impartiality and
accuracy Of its uttorances.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Il Connecticut legislator proposes to try
d rev plan to rid his fellow-mombers Of
the "corrupting influences" of the railroad
companies to the end that fair railroad leg
islation may be had. His bill proposes
that the issuing Of free passes to all state
officials, and members of the legislature in
particular, shall be prohibited. In the
same blu he has n section. directing the
state comptroller to buy tickets for the
use OF those state officials and
members. IL the honorable gen.
tleman who introduced the measure
is seeking after fame by Il new departure In
the interest Of liberal extravaganza rather
than that economy which is the customary
cry with the politician, he should now In
troduce and champion another bi making
provision and appropriation for the pur-
chase OF theatre tickets, meal tickets at the
hotels and restaurants, and adequate com
pensation for the honorable" gentlemen's
nightly lodgings. OF course the question
would be pertinent whether such Legislators
as the father of the above bill
would DO worth such pay or not.
One of these days the people will learn
that the great relief in the sovereign power
OF political machinery is delusion. These
extensions of legislative actions do not
remedy the evils they aim at; often they
make them worse, They may be ingenious,
they may appear philanthropic, but they
are not wise nor practical, and all these
attempts to regulate by state agency these
private enterprises are absurd as well rs
deleterious, Government is an evil
at best, and the less of it We
have the better OIL we are. Some one
has observed that wherever there
is government there is vllainy," and this
is essentially true, for il We were perfect
we would need no government, and so the
less perfect we are the more Of government
we need. Besides, this constant dabbling
into all manner Of private business leads to
the idea OF Capitalization, and is CORE
spondingly hurtful to genuine democracy
and true freedom. The sooner it is de-
termined to leave out from the legislative
halls all such legislators as the anti-lree.
pass man from Connecticut, the better for
state and country.

IN LOVE WITH EDWIN BOOTH
FOOLISH Girl Tempts Fate and Is Fort,

Speaking of the persecution OF actors re
minds me of a very pretty story regarding
Edwin Booth. 1t was while he was play
ing at the Winter Garden that a young miss
in her teens fell desperately in love with
him. She was the only daughter Of
wealthy parents, and night after night she
would make some excuse to leave her
home and go to the theatre. She delured
Booth with love letters, and finally he
wrote to her, telling her to meet him at the
stage door at the end OF the performances on
certain evening. She was there according
to appointment.
Booth handed her into his carriage, and
gave some whispered directions to the
uriver. The horses were driven rapidly
ana IN few moments the young girl found
herself IN front of her own home. The
carriage stopped, and Booth assisted her
to alight. Taking her arm in his. he
walked with her up to the stoop, and rang
the bell. 1t was late, and his
girls father, who had become
very anxious about her whereabouts
openedthe door. When he saw her in the
company of the actor, he started back in
astonlshment. "Mr -" said Booth, very
quietly, 81 have brought your daughter
nome. She has been very foolish, but she
has promised never to be so again, and
would advise you to take bettercare OF her, ;
