farm products imported. If the duty
on it were put at IS a bushel it would
not affect the price of our wheat in any
degree, because we raise a great deal
more wheat than we need. The day
may came, and we expect it to come,
when foreign wheat will compete with
our own and on our own soil, but there
is no immediate danger Of it, and no
relief can come from increasing duties
on any farm product at this time.
We do not mean any disrespect to
Secretary Rusk, nor to any gentleman
who thinks as he does about this mat
ter; what We desire, in this article, is to
suggest to farmers that there is not, in
our opinion, any good ground for
expecting speedy and permanent relief
to western farmers in any degree from
this new idea of increasing duties on
farm products. It would be much bet
ter to reduce some of the duties on
manufactured articles.-KdnsaS Farm

AUSTRALIAN DOG MEN.
Human Beings That Scent Game with the
Keenness of CANNES.

Human Beings That Scent Game with the
Keenness of CANNES.
In the far north of the great island
continent of Australia, there are GER
tain tribes of natives, ferocious savages
in their natural state, but easily tanned
by kindness, who have a wonderful
power of sight and smell, by which they
are enabled to procure their food in a
trackless wilderness where otherwise
they would always be in danger of starv-
ing to deatt.
They are trained from childhood to
notice all natural objects, not as we or
dinarily notice them. just glancing
around US and taking in the general
effect, but SO closely and carefully that
not the slightest thing escapes their OBJ
servation.
These people in Australia might be
called 'All Eyes and Nose,' for they
never go anywhere without seeing and
smelling every thing that is to be seen
and smelt- They are the only human
beings ever met with who use their
scent as well as their sight, as animals
do, for finding their way, pursuing or
escaping from their enemies, or picking
up their living.
II particular bird sits on particular
tree they can tell why it does SO and,
by using their eyes and nose, they often
get the food which the bird expected to
get If . snake has passed over the
ground they can see where the tiny
moses and leaves were pressed down or
turned aside in its zigzag path, and
when it has crossed some place where
there is nothing but hard earth they can
stlll follow it by the smell it has left
and track it TO its hole and entice it out
and catch it with q forked stick SO that
it can not bite them
The kangaroo is one of the hardest of
all animals to hunt by scent because it
leaps twenty or thirty feet at bound,
and only touches the ground for mo-
ment with its horny hind feet before it
leaps again The keenest of dogs are
sometimes thrown of the trail by this
eccentric mode of progression But not
the natives
II they can not see the marks where
the kangaroo came down they can smell
the place; and if they can not smell it.
because they are too far to the right or
to the left. or too far ahead. or not far
enough, q quick, sharp glance to either
side, in front and behind. soon sets
them right again One sense or the
other is sure to be available: and in
many instances the two work together

PRETTY COMPLIMENTS.

Men and Women Who Know How to Say
Graceful Thing.
When the great Duke of Wellington
said ''He always slept we'll when Sta
pleton Cotton was on guard" he paid a
sterling compliment which must have
gratified that officer-if he heard it-as
much as a promotion in rank would
have done.
A little absurdity about a compliment
often gives it point. A Spanish lover
is reported to have said to his mistress:
LEND me your eyes; want tonight to
kill man."
Mrs. Moore, the wife of the poet, was
noted for her benevolence to the poor in
the vicinity of their country residence.
On one occasion guest observed: 81
take it for granted that no one is dying
in our neighborhood, or we should not
be favored with Mrs. Moore's COM
pany."
Not long ago. when a brief matrimo-
nial engagement was broken of, a near
relation of the gentleman, one who
fully appreciated the high qualities of
her from whom the sometime lover was
sundered, said to the young lady: ''You
have only lost an ideal; he has lost a
reality" A sweet compliment this, un-
der the circumstances, it seems to US
A husbands compliment to his wife:
They were visitors for few days at .
country house, and on being shown into
their room the lady, who was nearer
forty than thirty, prepared to take of
her bonnet Now, be it observed that
| looking glasses vary very much in quail
fly; some distort and some hatter the
countenance.
These different qualities in glass
making are no new things, for we may
remember that when Queen Elizabeth
was dying she asked for true glass,
into which she had not allowed herself
to look for twenty years The glass
that was on the dressingtable on the
occasion to which we refer was . de-
hghtful one-that is to say, ''hatter-
teringn one-and as the lady saw her
self reflected in it she merrily ex-
claimed: 30, what charming glass!
look about eighteen in it" ut Is just
like my eyes, then" the husband
promptly replied.-Chsmber's Journal

The Register and DEMOCRAT of Great
Bend discuss the question whether the
alliance is republican or democratic
organization. Gentlemen, it is neither.
st. John Capital.
You are little off, Mr.. Capital. The
Register is doing its best (which is not
much, thank goodness) to stir up con-
tention in the alliance by charging
that it's leaders and originators were
trying to ''work it" for the democratic
party; while the DEMOCRAT has, from
the first, championed the alliance
movement as farmers movement and
not one of the political complexion.
Be just, and you will be happy.
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1890-05-22

AFRIEND in Barton county, a farmer,
in reply to the current question as to
what ingalls, has ever done in the sem
ate, writes to the Capital: He tanned
the jacket of Breckenridge of Kentucky,
pealed the bark off the tall Sycamore of
the Wabash, split Missouri's Vest clear
up the back and, last but not least, he
always voted on the opposite side from
the brigadiers on all points. Topeka
Cdpitpl.
Tanning jackets, and ripping Vests
and pealing Sycamore bark are indus
tries not engaged in by Kansas farmers
to any very considerable extent. But
Ingalls, has in every instance voted
against the brigadiers when they tried
to reduce the tariff on Kansas pine
lumber. Kansas farmers will more
than likely fall down and worship
Ingalls, for that. We must protect our
pine forests at all hazzards.--W Wichita

Mr.. Stoke, continually quotes corn
at 10 cents. He referred to it
frenquently in last weeks issue. His
marked quotations are just about AS
nearly correct as the average demo-
cratic editor can make any statement.
This fact is, that the very day that his
paper was issued corn was selling at 70
cents in Great Bend. The paper is
doing the county a positive injury by
making such Misrepresentation to the
outside world. Stoke, don't misrepre-
sent your own patrons.-Regsster,
THE above is neither witty, sensible,
nor truthful. Our neighbor of the
Register may think by thus misrepre-
senting things he can do this paper an
injury in the minds of his readers; but
he will find, by the time he has been
in the business little longer that even
arepubllcan newspaper will gain more
respect from its readers and have more
political influence by combining itself
to the truth. When Bro. Caraway
took the Register, as an adjunct to the
postmastership, we had Hoped he would
not inherit the evils that had formerly
been a part of it, but would treat his
brother editors fairly. We still have
hopes that he win see the error of his
wroug-doing, and reform.
