AS TIME passes merchant after mer-

them before. In view of this fact we
feel like warning our high tariff friends.
not to become cheap men by wearing
cheap clothing; but remembering the
saying of Benjamin Harrison, that ia
cheap coat makes cheap man." and
also that of the great apostle of high
tariff, VIM. Mckinley that "cheap
means nasty and that cheap and
nasty go hand in hand" we hope our
high tariff friends when passing the
windows of merchants where cheap
clothing under the new tariff act.s is
displayed, will not be tempted to linger
and gaze on the reduced prices so
prominently displayed lest perchance
they may be lured TO purchase thereof,
and thus be classed by the great lights
of protection above quoted as cheap
men. Rather let the honest protec-
ZIONIST when passing such places shut
his eyes and trust in the Lord to lead
him out of temptation. = Winfield

DUKE PULLMAN S business was so
unproftable last summer that he was
obliged to cut down the wages of his
employees to a starvation basis thereby
causing the biggest. most widespread
and most expensive strike the country

must have improved this fall, for he
has been able to make a contribution
of a quarter of a million dollars to the

ALL GOOD citizens of Barton county
have by this time pretty well made up
their minds who they want to support
at the polls next Tuesday, and any
sensational matter that the over-zeal-
Gus politicians may bring up the last
few days before election day will have
little effect on fair minded men. That
the republicans will try this dodge of
springing false stories at the eleventh
hour" too late to be refuted by honest
candidates, we have not the least doubt.
Their case is desperate, as is also the
case of some of the populIsts, and des-
perate efforts Will be made to prejudice
the people against the democratic can
didates. It is to be earnestly hoped
that the better element of voters of all
parties will sit down upon any and all
candidates who attempt to use that
cOwardly method of political warfare
known as ''election day sensation

Keen Plant LeaYes Clean.

One of the difficulties in the cultiva- tion of plants in a sitting room is that the dry air and dust tend to clog the pores of the leaves. Deprived of the rain which would naturally cleanse them and not often watered with 8 rose pot or syringe, the plants kept in room are apt gradually to lose their health and look miserable, if they do not alto gether die. The best remedy for this is the regular use of a small piece of soft old sponge with slightly warm water,
 and if 8 little soft soap is added all the better. Especially is this necessary in the winter when dust is rife, and as "blight'' is then at its weakest point a thorough cleansing during the cold months will result ill freedom from it during the summer Practice and deli cate handling are needed for success. Some plants are much easier to sponge than others. Among these may be men, tiOned the india rubber plant, and also small specimens of palms, both of which need frequent washings when grown in 8 room. Orange trees and many other plants exude kind of sticky essential oil, which catches the dust. They there fore require special attention. Aspidis- tras and many other plants need spong- ing often to keep them in health--in fact, all plants with evergreen foliage and others which will bear it are strengthened and improved by the free use of the sponge.
