WHAT RECIPROCITY MEANS.

At recent Republican meeting in
Pittsburgh, Pa, Congressman Burrows,
of Michigan, explained the meaning and
the advantages of reciprocity as follows:
SIN adopting the policy of reciprocity, !"
said he, E'the Republican surrenders no
jot or title of the doctrine of protection,
and accepts none Of the fallacies of free
trade. But, on the contrary, it is rather
supplementary and charging the scope
of the protective system. In admitting
free of duty sugar, tea, coffee, and other
products, which are not or cannot be
produced in this country in sufficient
quantity for the home market, and i'm
posing duties on articles we do and can
produce, is embodied the very essense of
protective policy. Putting these arti-
cles on the free list exposes no
American industry to foreign compe
tition, cripples no American enterprise,
nor does it narrow the field of the en-
ployment of American labor. On the
contrary, the free admission into our
market of non-competing products,
coupled with reciprocal trade advantages
in the foreign market of the nation thus
favored, opens new outlet for the sur
plus product Of our farms and factories,
and by so much increases the demand
for American labor. Protection is de-
Tense; reciprocity is conquest. Protec-
ton preserves the home market for the
producers surplus. Protection secures
to labor the field of domestic employ
ment; reciprocity extends that era to the
boundary of its capacity"

The extremely cute Savannah News is
responsible for this choice bit of sarcasm:
"Peru signifies her willingness to take
sample package of Mr.. Blaine's recip-
rocity. If she likes that she may ask for
more. Gradually the presidents secre-
tary of state seems to be getting work
ing models of his new reciprocity inven-
ton introduced on probation and subject
to approval in the majority Of the South
American republics. Costa RIGA also in
dieates an inclination to test its advan-
tages for use in her business All of
which is smart, as it goes, but the fact
remains that getting any of the countries
mentioned, or any others, to take any
thing on probation even, that had for its
object the extension of our trade rala-
tons, is more than Mr.. Cleveland'S secre-
tary of state ever so much as attempted.

A GRIEVoUs MISTAKE.

Sam Wood is quoted with saying that
Harrison and Cleveland will be the can
didates of the two old parties for presi-
dent; that the Peoples party will injure
the chances of the Republican party for
success, and that while the party does
not prefer Cleveland to Harrison, vet if
it cannot elect its own candidate it cares
nothing about the matter, who is elected
president. The Emporia Republican
agrees with this last declaration, that it
is none of the Peoples party's concern
which of the old parties succeeds. This
is tantamount to saying that those who
affiliate with the new party are not citi-
zens of the country and have no interest
in the welfare of the government and
people. The declaration is untrue and is
new party. From their complaints and
demands for reforms one would conclude
that they are more Immediately and
vitality interested in the control and
of the government than
any other portion of the community.
But while this is not literally true, it is
true that they are equally interested with
everybody else in securing the greatest
good to the greatest number, whatever
they may feel and say about it.
What Sam Wood meant was, most
likely, that as between the two old par
ties the Peoples would not choose, re-
garding than equally bad; but it sounds
odd to hear our Emporia cotemporary,
that has steadfastly claimed to be the
custodian of the faith and good name of
the Republican party, agreeing to such a

The suicide of the 1S-year-old bow.
Thomas Atcheson, in the Bancroft house,
New York city, the other day. has re-
vived discussion of the sanity of persons
who take their lives. Opinion has al
ways been divided on that question and
probably always will be-no amount of
argument and theorizing can change the
convictions of some that no person in
his right mind will ever take his own
life. Nevertheless it is the opinion of
the writer that it is in many cases more
lack of moral courage than of mental
balance.

Under the pressure of $4,000 sigma
lures of citizens of New York City, the
trustees of the Metropolitan Museum of
Art have been at last forced TO open the

thought it was doing the polite thing
to bolster up the rotten theory of the

think so, and declares that it is "almost
persuaded as to one point, namely: that
1t would oe best for the Democracy and
resubmissionists of this state to ally
themselves with the Peoples party, and
knock shades" out Of that party that has
brought all this woe upon Kansas" The
decision has evidently scattered good

The illustrated article which is now
going the rounds of the press, giving
full particulars as to the appearance,
wealth and antecedents Of the rich

tempting invitation TO enterprising
bachelors and forlorn widowers TO go
west and better themselves. The wealth
of these widows is way up in the
millions, and, while their physical
charms are not so apparent in the news
paper cuts accompanying the article, il
is to be borne in mind, as an exchange
observes, that faithful hearts often
beat beneath uncouth exteriors." Which

and reiterates, Is that we need more peo-
pie of the kind. in the main. of those we
already have, to aid in the great work OF

The decree of the United States ST.
preme court escheating the property of
the Mormon church in Utah to the gov
eminent leaves that organization with
out any visible means of subsistence,
and would seem to be the final death
blow to it. Whether the church will
emigrate to some more congenial cline,
as Mexico or Manitoba, as it has been
threatening to do for some time, or yield
to the inevitable, its members accepting
the situation and becoming good citizens,
is yet to be demonstrated. The action of
the government would seem to be arbi-
trary, from the standpoint of personal
freedom and liberty of conscience, yet it
was necessary in order to break up the
organization and its practices that were
in open violation and defiance of law.

manure will fall through. Iron graf
ings are made expressly for this
purpose, but are too expensive
and a wooden grating may be made
at much less the expense and
win serve the same end. The Stats
should be of hard wood ~ inches wide
and the same space between them. The
grating may be fastened on hinges and
raised to take out the manure. An
other bad thing in many stables is the
ordinary stationary stanchion by which
the cows are fastened by their necks.
It is very hard on the cattle in lying
down, as it always holds their heads
and necks in one position. They should
be discarded for the tie or swing
stanchion fastened by chain at the
bottom and top, too, if possible. The
floor should always be level and we'll
bedded and the stables kept dry, clean
and sweet.
Among the best arranged stables fol

convenience that we know of are those

county, N. Y, director of the New York
farmers institutes. They are in the
basement of his concrete barn and run
lengthwise of it. The stanchions used
