sons apparently believe that the world
was created as they found it for their
special benefit, and any one who jars or
disturbs this is meddler.
What a barbarous world this would
have been if there had never been any
meddlers! Man would have remained
just as he found himself when the first
glimmer of reason dawned on him and
raised him above the brute; every in
vention or discovery interferes with the
affairs of some one who protests against
the meddling, and the louder the cry,
the more certain it is that the meddling
is doing good and should be kept up in
that direction Ellsworth Democrat

When person attempts to enlighten
others On subjects upon which their
ignorance causes them to lose what As
justly their right, and from lack of
knowledge others take advantages and
reap large benefits, something will be
heard about ''meddlers." Those who
fear the loss of an advantage from such
cause hold up such person as a
"meddler," a despised person; others
hold him as a teacher, as savior.
An uprising of any kind for imp owed
conditions is always denounced as the
work of meddlers. When one finds
himself satisfactorily situated he does
not like to be disturbed, nor have those
conditions meddled with. Ignorance
Is bliss" at least they would have all
believe so.
The abolitionists were meddlers in
the eyes of pro-slavery men. The or
ganizer of labor is meddler in the
minds of the unfair employer. The
light house, street lamp, or Waterman,
interferes with the business of the pi-
rate, wrecker, or thief. The employer
who objects to organization of workman
is dishonest; his very objections indicate
it. He knows that he is dealing un-
justly with his employees.
1t is only the criminal that objects to
police vigilance. 1t is crime against
society to knowingly retard progress.
he. is a criminal who iobjects to and
hinders the diffusion of knowledge. His
obi ections arise from selfish fears, be
he the employer of his fellow men, from
whose ignorance he reaps rich re-
ward, or the doetrinarian who lives off
the incredulity Of others. Many per-

What a Woman Can Do.

Some unknown philosopher thus es-
says to tell us what a woman can dc
which a man need not essay or attempt
viz:
She can come to conclusion without
the slightest trouble of reasoning on it,
and no sane man can do that.
Six of them can talk at once and get
along first rate, and no two men can do
that.
She can safely stick fifty pins in her
dress while he is getting one under his
thumb nail.
She is cool as a cucumber in half a
dozen tight dresses and skirts, while a
man will sweat and fume and growl in
one loose shirt.
She can talk as sweet as peaches and
cream to woman she hates, while two
men would be punching each others
heads before they exchanged ten words.
She can throw stone with curve
that would be fortune to a base ball
pitcher.
She can say ''no'' in such low voice
that it means Eyes"
She can sharpen lead pencil if you
give her plenty Of time and plenty CT
pencils.
She can dance all night in a pair of
shoes two sizes too small for her, and
enjoy every minute of the time.
She can appreciate a kiss from her
husband seventy-fve years after the
marriage ceremony is performed.
She can go to church and afterwards
tell you what every woman in the con-
gregation had on, and in some rare in
stances can give you some faint idea of
what the text was.
She can walk half the night with a
colicky baby in her arms without once
expressing the desire of numbering the
infant.
She can-but what's the use? A wo-
man can do anything and everything
and do it well.
She can do more IN a minute than a
man can do in an hour, and do it better.
She can drive a man crazy for twenty
four hours and then bring him to para
disc in two seconds by simply tickling
him under the chin, and there does not
live that mortal son of Adams misery
who can do Wellington Standard.

No MATTER how many tickets for
county officers there may be in the field
this fall-and the indications are that
there will be at least three in this
county-the men best qualified
for the position will be the most
likely to win. There is growing
a feeling of independence of party lines
that will make it impossible almost for
any clique of party managers to select
candidates and set them up for the
people to vote for with any certainty of
success. The way such things have
been done in the past history of the
county will not succeed this fall.
When the primaries of the different
parties are held the voters will be
pretty apt to turn out and see that del
egates of judgment will be selected,
and such delegates will act for them
selves and not be led about by the nose.
Allegiance to party is all right so long
as a mans allegiance to party does not
require him to endorse or support
incompetent men or men who make a
practice of scheming for personal
advancement through party allegiance.
Mark this predictions: No man will
succeed in winning Office in the election
of 1891 in this county unless he be
competent, honorable and consistent in
his every day life. Slate-making has
seen its most palmy days in Barton
county. No old ring, or new ring
either, for that matter. will succeed.

On trip to Kansas City, the first of
this week, we discovered that along the
line of the Santa Fe, corn looks much
healthier and is farther advanced from
Newton west to Great Bend than from
Newton to Kansas City. In the Raw
valley corn seems to have been drowned
out, and what is still living looks yell
low and worthless. Wheat appears
to have been better in the central part
of the state than in the east part.

Morning AT the Police Station.
John IL. Mnusey was TO have been tried
in the municipal court OIL Saturday ION
another chareeo of selling liquor without Il
license, but the case did not come of,
because Mousley did not appear.
Mousley who has already been fined
300 and costs on these charges, was
brought over from New Castle jail on Fri
day afternoon and locked int sccond-story
cell. He was seen in the cell about 4
o'clockSaturday morning by the officers, but
shortly after S O'clock had flown. one Of
the large iron bars had been sawed in two,
and the prisoner had escaped through q
space eight inches wide and about two feet
in heightll The cell window opens onto
the roof of a small wing of the city hall,
and from there Mousley lowered himself
to an ontbuilding and thence to thegr0und
and to the world at large by the King
street gate
II is believed that Mousley wasfurnished
with a small steel saw by his wife when
she recently visited him in New Castle Jail
and that he secreted it in his clothing. He
was not searched in the police station on
Friday, the officers supposingthis had been
done at the jail. Mollsley has probably
gone to Philadelphia and cannot be extra
dited for the offence with which he is
charged The case was formally continued
for one week in the court
The eases which were tried were; Austin
Hanley fer disorderly conduct and smash
ing window glass in the laundry Of Hong
Hing at Fourth and Poplar streets, 50 and
costs; Cornelius Lynch an aged Irishman
improper conduct, So and costs; William
White burly negro, SIS and costs, or 40
