Few housekeepers take proper care Of
the brushes that are used about their
homes. One reason, possibly, that they
do not is because good brushes are ex-
pensive and where common brushes for
special purposes may be used for any
thing, it does not seem worth the while.
The pastry brush, which is made without
metal wires TO corrode. is familiar, but
there are excellent brushes with brist!es
all around and long handle, which are
excellent for cleaning those impossible
things-fruit jars, deep pitchers and the
like. There are fine long-handed brushes
with bristies on either end which may or
may not be good for the purposes for
which they are intended, to wash fine
china; soup brushes for rubbing soups
through the stralner, and a variety of
floor and window as well as furniture,
brushes are all good. In the greater
number of houses brushes and Dioums
do double duty often. 1t is no more eX-
pensive ia the end, and, in fact. is less
eXtravagant as well as much neater to
have different brushes for different
rooms and to keep the kitchen brush FOR
the Kitchen only.

HOPE.

Russell Sage has been heard from. Sage is
Republican and "busness man." He is
away up in the millions. His opinion is worth
something He says that prosperity will not
come on hope. Sage is the first Republican to
say so.
Mckinley was elected Oh hope. Hope has
not brought prosperity. The wave were to
have has not moved to the extent of gentle
zephyr. Hope is lara frst-class liar. Ly-
ing is his trade, and Russell Sage knows it, and
says So Mckinley and Hanna know it, too
but they don't say SO.
Prosperity is based on more substantial
thing than confidence. Confidence never feeds
the hungry, nor clothes the naked. Confidence
is wind-human wind-political wind-and it
is not even the germ of prosperity.
Dun'sltrade review has tried hard wave the
wave of prosperity. Ever since the election,
Dun's review, from week to week, has, out of
the gloom, bid the people hope. Next week,
prices were to be better, but next week, there
were lot of failures-not little concerns, but
big ones; not banks of few thousand dollars,
but banks of millions. If factories started,
they shut down. There were no buyers for
their product. Cotton and cotton goods went
down. Shoes went down in the midst of a
hard winter. Corn went down. Steel went
down. Charities went up. Tramps multiplied,
and starvation ran riot in the midst Of plenty.
Rags abounded OH human bodies, and clothing
piled up in factories and stores. The wave Of
adversely waves OH with undated fury, and
Mckinley confidence has no power to stay it..
But, the Republicans have the Offices, and, as
that is all they were working for; they are sat-

WE perceive that the Populist legislature is
not going to please the Republicans. We
hardly expected it. Republicans are hard to
please with ANYTHING that is not Republican.
We believe the Topeka Capital voices Repub-'
lcan sentiment and, if so, one would be led
to believe that the Republican party is vast
loan company, or OWNS long lines of railroad.
The Capital is for the loan companies and for
the railroads, and of course the perty is in line
with that great { p political organ. The sheep
follow the bellwether, but in this case it is
only the wether that will have the choice pas
ture. Why is it that the common people of
the Republican party cannot see that Populist
measures in the main, will be in their interest?
Why is it that the common people cannot stand
together when interests are identical? Why is
it that partisanship contains a stronger bond
than selfinterest? Why?
