In This Case has no Claims Whatever

We do not wish TO pose before the people
as fault finders, bat there is . time In the
Affairs of men when forbearancs is not rec
ogniEed in 4 mans vocabulary. This, We
think, is the condition of certain portion
Of Napoleon's good people who we're VIC
timiEed by the managers Of course OF A-
legged "star" entertainments.
These entertainments we're advertised to
be of q high order. Anumbsr of Napoleon's
brAiny individuals conceived the idea OF
educating the remainder Of rs up to height
where appreciation Of such classical affairs
would be ranked among the possibilities.
With this purpose they canvassed the town
returning with a sack full Of shekels.
So far all WAS we'll. The people felt
serene, considering that they were about to
merge from state of ignorance into one of
sublime erudition. The promoters felt
equally happy to think they were leading The
people on TO enlightenment.
But all 10 not goldt that Rlittsrs, and it was
the style of this particular glitter that gave
all of ths-the- suckers that "tired feeling"
from date of the very hrst entertainment.
The second and third did not act ip any way
as q panaoea. People were heartily dis
gusted With the back numbers with which
they we're asssilsd.
Not content with disappointing even sho'e
who contracted with them In the grade Of
entertainments they added insult to injury
by leaving holders Of tickets in the lurch
two entertainments.
Had they given the last two those attend
ing would have chafted aud fretted q
fortnight or Two over having been taken in
and then forgotten about the whole matter.
But as It is the expensive tickets every now
aud then turn up making the whole matter
an old sore that will not heal.
The promoters Of the "Star" should get
together and compromise the affair some
how. A first class play in place Of the two
would be acceptable. Even Uncle Cams Tobin
in an immergenoy Of this kind is not to be
turned cold shoulder. Creditors are not
ohoosers during this era of failures. Wen
take 16c on the dollar in this case.

Farmers are net Fools.

During the last administration,
whenever the Democrats warned the
Republicans against the dangerous
consequences Of the extravagant and
selfish legislation of q Republican
Executive they were met by Republi-
can journals with q contemptuous
sneer, and superclliously referred to as
"calamity.howlers." Well, what was
the result? The people by an immense
majority, showed that they believed
the "calamity-howlers;" and, what Is
more, the people were right, and the
"calamity-howlers" were right. The
threatened calamity has come! And,
now observe the tudden and dexterous
change of front by the Republicans.
They are wild with alarm. They
shrek frantically for Democratic ad-
ministration to stop the ravages of
their work by repeating law which
they passed and which is causing 80
much havoc. Every little bank fall
ure now fills them with uncomfortable
alarm. They predict terrible crisis
unless something is done In hot haste.
Why this startling change from insane
Indifference to insane impatience?
And who, pray, are now the calamity
howlers?"
Moreover, they pretend to believe
that lack Of confidence In the ad-
minlstration which the people have
just put into power causes all this
trouble In the business world. Indeed!
/ had faint idea that 1t was lack of
confidence In the last administration
which led the people to change ad-
ministrations. Is 1t likely that the
people lack confidence in that for
which they have just declared by a
vast majority? But the funniest thing
of all Is that the Republicans are al
ready picking up hope that they will
again be restored to power at the next
election for the very novel reason that
the Democrats are too slow In repair
ing the damage which the previous
Republican administration wrought.
Verify, majority of the people may
sometimes be fools, but it yet remains
to be seen whether majority of them
are even idiots. Unless this is the
case the Republicans can hardly hope
to make much capital out Of the pres
ent financial troubles. And, after all,
/ have no doubt that the end will show
President Cleveland's course to have
been the wisest under the circum-
stances. Topics.

AN OHIO MANS NOT0RIETY.

Hon. John Little, who is now Great
ing such rumpus among the Populists
Of Kansas, is a native Of Champaign
county, Ohio says the London Nickel
Plate. He was raised on farm near
the Madison and Champaign county
lines. He was the youngest son Of
Rev. Nathan B. Little, a well-known
citizen of that section. Young Little
read law with General John 81. Young
at Urbana, and removed to Kansas In
1872 and settled at Olathe, Kas., where
he engaged In the practice of law.
In 1891 he was the populist candidate
for attorney general on that ticket,and
went in on the wave that swept Kan
sas for that party, and Is now the at
torney general for that state. He has
raised great commotion among the
leaders Of his party, and the state Is
now engaged in great uproar.
The trouble all comes from an open
letter the attorney general has written
In relation to the prohibition laws of
Kansas. He says that the law machin-
cry of Kansas will no longer be used to
suppress the liquor traffic in the state,
under the prohibitory law. He fur
ther advises that all municipalities
within the state levy fine or license
on all saloons or places where liquors
are sold, and thereby realize fund to
relieve them of their tax burden.
This letter was submitted to Gov.
Lewelling, the populist governor who
was elected at the same time Attorney
General Lite was elected, before being
published. The governor admitted
that it received his appreciation. The
publication of the letter created a
great uproar among the Populists of
the state, some Of the leaders being
very loud In their denunciation of the
attorney general, and threatening the
of proceedings for impeach-
ment.

A Wheat Experim ent.

We were shown few days since,
says the Deleware Herald, and now
have in our Office, a few heads Of wheat,
cut from a field of Charles Holt, Of
Harlem township, which are remark
able for size of grain, and size and
length of head. Mr.. Holt purchased
pint of Oregon wheat exhibited at the
Centennial fair held at Columbus In
1883, paying therefor twenty-five cents.
1t was claimed for this wheat that 1t
would yield sixty bushels to the acre.
M. Holt, with many doubts and mis-
givings, thought he would test Its pro-
ducing qualities, and proceeded to ex-
pertinent without letting his neigh
bors know anything about 1t, and
after increasing his handful of wheat
each year he saved enough to plant a
fourth of an acre, from which last
harvest he gathered and saved twenty
bushels of wheat. He says IL is the
best white wheat he ever saw grow.
The farmers OF that part of the county
have heard of this wonderful wheat,
and are all waiting until his present
crop is harvested, when they hope to
get seed enough of Mr.. Holt to give
them q start in what promises to be
the most remarkable wheat ever grown
in Ohio. The heads shown us measure
five inches in length, are beardless,
and are filled with very large grains.
II this wheat will yield an average of
80 or 40 bushels to the acre, 1t will
yield largely in profit over what our
common wheat yields. It is claimed
for it that 1t stands straight, the straw
being so strong that 1t will not lodge
or fall, a great fault with most of the
wheat grown In this country. 1t will
pay the farmers of this county to In
vestigate this wheat.

Smashed Idols.

What years and years of labor will
men not go through in order to gain the
esteem of their fellow man! Yet how
uncertain the reward. A thousand sue
cesses, a single mistake, and all is lost
1t is said now that if Admiral Tryon had
lived he might have been shot for his
great blunder. Only those who die OF
retire at the right moment can hope to
retain what they have earned of fame.
Perhaps the cause of this smashing q
idols for first offense is that, feeling
ourselves equal as whole to the idol
we take advantage of the first error that
shows the lack of supposed superiority
to knock the idol down to the common
level. Certain qualities may cause men
to become famous, but it is doubtful if
in the eyes of an all seeing Spirit we ar,
not all about as evenly made up of what
we call bad and good qualities as to
make a claim for any superiority other
than animal superiority ridiculous

Nurses w yeaKness FOR Tes.

A paying patient in London hospi-
tai, while bearing testimony to the
kindness, attention and self denial Of
the nurses, remarks on the one weak
ness they all appear to possess. And
this is intemperance-not indeed in
alcoholic liquors. but in tea. In sea-
son and out of season, morning, noon
and night, was the cup of tea resorted
to. It seemed to be quite as much the
correct thing when two nurses met for
one to invite the other to come and have
a cup of tea as in some circles it is for
city clerk to invite his friend to come
and have drink. This excessive tea
drinking is no doubt due to the long
hours and harassing work of the nurses.
