A HEAVY BURDEN,


Republicans Would Like to BE Rid of
sonc OF Their Leaders. /
There is very evident desire on the
part of certain of the leading papers
In the republican party to free the
organization from the weight it carries
in the shape of Objectionable leaders
The Philadelphia Press. for example,
has reached the point of protesting
with emphasis against the boss rule
of Senator Quay, and declares that it
is because of him that Philadelphia
gets less than she is entitled to in the
distribution of the party spoils- And,
not content with this effort to turn
down" the great leader of the party in
its own state, the Press makes a SINH
lar attempt in the case of the New
York republican boss. Pretending to
believe that the, democracy of New
York has stolen the state it insists
that the republicans are largely to
blame, and that the party in the state
has Ieen brought to its sad condition
by division in it's ranks and bad leader
ship lone thing after another" it says,
"has been lost until finally they have
been ousted from every hold on power in
the state. and it adds: 1T is pertinent to
to lead the New York republicans
whether the situation does not demand
their retirement and the bringing of
new leaders to the 'front.'"
This desire to purge the party would
be very commendable if it came at
time when the corrupt leaders were at
the height of their power; but unfor-
tunately it does not While Platt had
the whole of New York in his grasp,
and was using his power for his own
benefit and that of his friends-and in
cidentally for that of the party-the
Press and the other organs had no
word of remonstrance; and it was sub
stantiallv the same in the case of Quay.
The effort to unload these objectiona-
bic and obnoxious leaders because they
have ceased to profit the party by their
iniquities. does not argue any growth
of political morality. 1t indicates only
partisan se!fishness - Detroit Free

HOMEMADE MATTRESSES

In large family of children, fold

Gle to have. A homemade one will
give as much service as any and at less
expense. It may be covered either
with ticking or heavy unbleached mus

the use of slip, Or, better still, lay
between it and the sheet heavy pad,
made from unbleached muslin, and
wadded with cheap cotton, not too
heavy to be easily washed. This will

way that you will have two pieces the

stitched on the edge with the seam in

be stitched on 1T the same place, and
one seam will hold both. Two of the
short strips may be scanned on the end,
and the strips securely fastened. Now
the two large pieces for the other
side may be attached, and it is ready
for filing. If something more nearly
like a factory article is desired. cord
covered with some bright binding may
be stitched on the outer seams. For
filling cheap grade of cotton or excel
sior may be used, OF, if you live near a
factory. you may be able to secure at
little cost any of the materials used for

Coming into power under such

HOW THE PARTY ECONOMIES.
Methods Adopted by the Secretary of the
Treasury.


1t is announced in an administration
organ that the president was greatly
displeased to learn the facts regarding
the dismissal of workmen from the
government employ without payment
of their wages due. 1t is further al
legged that Mr.. Harrison promptly re-
bul>ed the officials alleged to have been
responsible for this act. But the more
recent publication of the monthly
treasury report will create suspicion
that the president was initiating Mr.
Pickwick in his angry denunciation. 1t
is EN- barrassing for the administration
to face the results of its party acta
The vanishing surplus has been the
canse Of anxious discussion among
those friendly to the levy of higher
taxes The secretary of the treasury
seems to have accepted the advice of
the party organs and attempted the
shining" dodge to tide over the
pinch. He has at his command sa4.-
574. 12S as stated balance. In this Is
included as usual the sl3, coo, 600 of
subsidiary coin which the secre-
tary has just notified congress is
unavailable, and about $50, 1000, 900
more of totally unavailable funds.
Considering the monthly demands
of the dissipated trust fund for
the redemption of bank notes. there is
little cause for wondering at the
anxiety of the secretary to prevent the
payment of claims until absolute neces-
sity presses. 1t is not pleasant show

CONCERNING GRAPES.
The Fertilizers Most Rapidly Absorbed BY
tho Vines.

The Fertilizers Most Rapidly Absorbed by
the Vines.
ANY land that is rich enough to bear
forty bushels of corn to the acre, is rich
enough to grow grapes. AS far as my
own course is concerned. l have not
used manure after planting. / have
used applications sometimes of bone
and ashes, and sometimes of bone and
potash salts, with occasional plaster of
paris mixed with it, because the grape
requires more or less sulphur in the
soil; the plaster of paris is the cheap
est way you can get it.
The reason why you don't want to
apply animal manure largely to your
grapes is that it induces a rank, coarse
growth of wood and foliage, which is
unfavorable to the production of fruit.
You want fair, moderate growth of
wood and that is all You want me-
dunn sized wood The cane should be
about the size of your little finger, and
it will bear larger punches and more
of them than If it is three times as
large. You want to have the canes
well ripened also.
Stimulating the vine by animal man
ure makes it grow until late in the
fall, and the wood will not ripen as
well. The fruit buds do not thor
oughly develop until the wood is par
TALLY ripe. l think you can make
much stronger fruit bud by moderate
than by over manuring--J. i. Moore,
to the New England Farmers Club.

WHAT DEMOCRACY MEANS.
It Supports rhe Right of the Garner to
His Earnings.

It Supports rhe Right of the Garner to
His Earnings.
When American democracy ceases to
mean the lowest possible taxation on
the people it will be meaningless.
Every dollar of tax that goes into the
federal treasury from any source what
ever is dollar taken from the earn
ings of the productive labor of the
country, and when these taxes are
tariff taxes, levied to prevent exchange.
they rob the Garner of three dollars for
every dollar that goes into the treas
ury.
Opposed to all unnecessary taxation
as robbery from the Garner, democrats
oppose unnecessary tariff taxation
most because it robs the Garner most.
From the very first the democratic
party has main tanned the sacredness Of
the right of the Garner to his earnings
and has denied the right of government
to take from him any part of them not
absolutely necessary for economical
government. 1t stands for this prin-
ciple because it stands for individual
liberty; for where government can
take away earnings for other purposes
than those of keeping the peace and
administering justice the people arc
slaves A slave is an Garner whose
earnings are legally taken from him
for the benefit of others. and the pur-
pose OF a tariff made high enough to
stop trade is to make slaves Of the
earners Of the country. This is its
effect as we'll as its purpose.
The fight the democratic party has
been making for the lowest possible
tariff taxation is fight for freedom.
1t is not fight that can be abandoned
Democrats will never face to the rear
on it. Before they would do SO they
would sacrifice every democrat now
holding Office, and if to get the offices
again they were obliged to abandon
this fight they would abandon the Of
fees instead. They want the cfficas
merely as a means to an end-the end
of embodying their principles in tho
laws and policies of the federal gov
eminent.
1t seems possible that in the imme.
date future the democratic party,
through internal treachery, will be-
come more seriously involved than it
has been in many years But under all
circumstances it's way lies forward.
and the way to get forward is to fight
forward. st. Louis Republic.
