TARIFF REFORM AMONG FARMERS

When the farmers of America do pass
the word from one to another that an
enemy has appeared and the time has
come for arming; do light the beacons
on the nights and flash the warning
over the land; do form the phalanx of
yeomanry which has ever been i'm
penetrable and uncorruptible, then the
nation is defended and cause is won.
The farm is not nursery of supple
ness. Men are there bred to serious
regard for justice and religion. Ac-
customed to deal with the stubborn
forces of nature, to calculate the cost
of taxpaying, to earning rather than
maneuvering living; accustomed to
high individual self-respect and
impatience of the mastery of privilege
which is but a republican form of
monarchical and aristocratic tyranny,
they carry from boyhood to old age
readiness to fight for their rights which,
like the vestal fires, may not flame
fiercely at all times, but can become
conflagration with the earliest breath
of awakened rebellion. A farmers
facile slang. His argument is not
stilled by pun or confused by an
epigram. When he chooses a leader
among the statesmen to follow through
good or evil days the man will be one
in whose soul he believes and not one
whose qualification is a jest or dia-
mond shirt button. He is not an easy
victim of empty political noncom-
missioned officers. A Fictitious Organi-
zation may hold him for the time he
associates cherished memories with
the name the organization assumes,
but his obedience can not be forced
day after that time has expired. He
may not instantly arrive at the truth
about the use to which his vote is being
put, but when he does discover that he
has unwittingly been made the instru-
ment of unjust designs he breaks his
bonds and raises with strength un-
abated and the invigoration of an
angered spirit.
Clinton county's tariff reform demon
stration was a notice served on the
tariff barons for the struggle of 1892.
The democratic party will hold their
tariff reform, and Grover Cleveland,
elected or defeated, is the leader they
will follow as long as he is the boldest
challenger of prohibitive protection.
The states delegation to congress
will be unbrokenly democratic after
the elections of 1890 where the
are controlled by farmer votes.
The hopes fired by the enthusiasm of
the Clinton meeting look beyond the
of Missouri. A campaign
of education would be furthered
by series of similar
in every state. The agri-
cultural sentiment for tariff reform
would be fused into mass of Irresistible
and the ensuing confidence
Of mutual support would powerfully
stimulate all the elements of the peO
pie, both in town and country to which
of taxes appeals. Let a
few thousand voters get together in
each county in the country and talk
over system of taxation which charges
a citizen penalty for every child born
into his family and every helpless rel
ative his charity assists and the
of Grover Cleveland's
indictment sent to congress nearly two
years ago will not be two years in
City Times.

There never was a grosser, more de-

Bad Fire.


Wednesday evening, Aug. %, a
Mo. p. engine set fire to the prairie
grass just east of Hoisington, in several
places, and the high wind prevailing at
the time made the destroying element
travel rapidly. Some of the head fires
were cut off by plowing fire guards and
starting back fires; but others of the
fires swept across the country to the
banks of the Smoky river. The dam
ages will run up to several thousand
dollars. Following are some of the
farmers who lost by the fire:
Chris COrcoran had all his meadow
burned, and two ricks of hay.
Bill Roberts, pasture and meadow
burned.
John Richison lost all his pasture
and meadow land.
Henry Uden lost hay, meadow, Sta
bling, fences, ETC., to the amount of
about 5000.
Mr. Norris, pasture and hay.
All of the Clayt Moses section burn
ed over with a loss Of pasture and hay,
and eight stacks Of wheat owned by
Mr.. Moses and A. B, Names.
A colored man named Williams lost
two stacks of rye and all his pasture
and meadow. M
c. F. Diffenbacher quarter section
of good meadow.
A Mr.. Simmons lest all his pasture
and two stacks of straw.
All of Geo. Undefbill's pasture. He
just saved his grain by hard fighting.
Mr.. Gano lost his hay and all his pas
ture and meadow gsxSs.
The fire burned all over the Cofer
place but only took the grass.
The railroad company will doubtless
settle the greater part of the damages
sustained by the farmers. The railroad
employees had began burning fire
guards, but 1t appears had not got them
far enough out to be of service.

SRseratuS BATHS.

When patient is suffering from fever, and
the skin is hot and dry, saieratus bath is
often found to give at least temporary relief.
This bath can be given to the patient in the
bed without removing the bed clothes or his
own clothing
Have the water as hot as it can be borne,
with saleratus dissolved in it in the proper
ton of perhaps half cupful to quart of
the water.
Wet sponge in this and then squeeze it SO
dry that there will be no danger of dripping.
Battle the face and hands first and dry them
instantly with soft towel Then, putting
your own hand and arm beneath the bed
clothes, hold them up bridge like to keep the
clothes from the sponge, and at the same
time push back the night dress or under shirt
of the patient, so that with the other hand
you can pass the warm, damp sponge over
his body.
Take limited surface each time and dry
itquiclly before attempting the next All
this is done beneath the bed clothes so-that
no air can get in to chill the body. Push up
the sleeves SO as to bathe the arms in the
same way.
10 is slow and careful work, but not diff
cult, and the relief and comfort afforded,
even if not permanent, viii repay the effort
These baths may be given once day, or in
some cases at morning end at night.-Youths

The Literary Woman.

The old idea that literary woman must
necessarily be fright Is disappearing before
the progress OF common sense. The term
''blue stocking" at one ti,ne honorable, but
for SO many years abhorfent to the ears Of
the advanced woman who dared TO use her
brains in literature, Is again regarded with
something more than liberation. While the
word does not describe the object to which 1t
is often applied, in its offensive sense, it is
allowable in speaking OK literary woman,
and the latter is no longer offended when she
hears herself thus referred to. Think Of a
few brilliant writer's Of the gentler sex that
you know, and you viii understand that
beauty of person is not incompatible with
unusual graces of intellect Fancy Ameiie
Rives Chanler in her gown of white China
crepe, draped in Greek folds her golden hair
in fluffy waves, confined at the top by tor
toise shen and diamond combs. Picture TO
yourself her beautiful classic face, her soulful
eyes and her delicate, yet strong features,
like Minerva yelled in a morning mist. Fancy
this, and then talk in a sighting way about
literary women if you can.
As a matter OF fact, the women That write
are nearly always pleasing and generally
beautiful Even that intellectual giantess,
George Eliot, had a face, strong and rugged
as it was. that her friends considered hand
some. 1t is evident, and is admitted now,
that women can WELD the pen as well as, and
in s9:le cases better than the men who so
long Mrogated that implement to them
selvesp To Offset this, it was thought necessary
TO show that some Disadvantage would attend
the growth Of intellect As a woman rightly
values her personal appearance as much as
any other attribute, 1t was seen that an
effective weapon would be given TO the men
in the assertion that a writer could not be
handsome. The old prejudice is dying out
now, perforce, for we have enough lovely
feminine Htterateurs in America alone 20
prove the absurdity Of the Old fashioned
theory. Women are writing more than ever,
and they are at the same time handsomer
than ever into the bargain.-Pittsburg Boil
letin,
