A NEW POLITICAL NICKNAME.

A NEW POLITICAL NICKNAME.
Leslie's Weekly: The latest con-
tribution to the vocabulary of
politics comes from Iowa, where
the word ''Standpatter" has been
coined to designated those advocates
OF a protective tariff who think it
wiser to ''stand pat," as the OK
preston of the card player is, on
their favorite principle, than to
admit that the time for tariff
changes has arrived. The proverb-
ial ingenuity of the Yankee is thus
once more illustrated. He has
found scope fol- the display of his
talent at various eras in politics for
usually political nlcknames are tho
outgrowth of exciting political
struggles. In the strenuous times
of Van Buren, We had the ''Barn-
burners" and the ''Hunkers" Dur
ing the civil war democrats in tho
north who sympathized with tho
south were stigmatized as Cooper
heads" The dissension in the re-
publicans to Cleveland, later on,
gave rise to the term ''Mugwnmps,"
as applied to the eeoeders, term
which is still in common use it is
not unlikely thai in the strenuous
discussion of the tariff issue, bound
to occur in the coming presidential
cmpaign, the name ''Standpatters"
will be applied to ultra protection
lists very generally, and not alone
in Iowa. And, by the way, it is
not a bad words in this connection.

Dear sir:-I notice in the A d.

question Of keep OF the Grass or
Keep on the Sidewalk or some.
thing to that effect. Az business
called US to your beautiful town q
few days ago we could not help but
notice the irksome signs stuck up
in your court house park, We also
learned while there that the park
in question is thrown open to the
public or rather to people living in
the village when their days work
is finished and they want t oen joy
III emselves four a;few hours listen
ing to, the music, they ignore the
sign, keep OF The Grass. W.: We
also learned while there that your
sheriff has orders to arrest any one
1toung trepaseing on the lawn. a.
Now if a party from the counsty
should 90 far wander from the side
walk and step on the grass instead
OF, in the mud on the other side OF
the walk then she or he as the case
might be, is liable to be arrested.
Would it hurt the grass any more,
If the ladies from the country or
others towns should be allowed to
go there and rest in the cool shade
than it does for the people Of Worth
ington to hold social gatherings
theres This park was paid for and is
owned by, the people of the county.
b, We believe in using every one
alike showing them the same
courtesy whether they live in the
country or in town and if it is a
crime for one class Of people to walk
on the grass make it equally so for
the other. We have been in most
every town in the state Of any size
and failed to SEQ signs stuck up in
any of them as you have in your
town. Yours Respectfully,

Rather Expensive Mis- take

A farmer living few miles north of
town was in Edge-ton Saturday, but
whether business or pleasure detained
is not in evidence, at any rate most bust
ness places were closed by the time he
was ready to start home. At that hour
he was a good deal confused. 1t might
have been the refreshment he took for
he met many friends, or the electric
lights might have dazzled his vision, but
somehow, in an inexplainable manner,
he had forgotten that he had stabbed his
team earlier in the day and going out
to the post where he usually left his team
unhitched a horse and drove home.
Another late visitor was Ole Guam, liv-
ing out Ia the Hardware section, and
when he came to depart his rig was
missing. The natural conclusion was
that someone had stolen his horse and
buggy, and he appealed to the officers to
help find his property. On Sunday by
comparing notes it was surmlsed what
the difficulty was and an effort made to
straighten out the mistake, but Quale
wanted to make his brother farmer
trouble. First papers were taken out
for the arrest of the offender on the
charge of drunkenness and Quale de-
handed SlOO or further arrest for horse
stealing. By this time the Albion Prai-
RE farmer was thoroughly frightened
and it is said the matter was compro-
missed by giving note for SlO6. Rather
costly mistake.

years of age he removed to Ohio. He
came on to Wisconsin in 1858 and settled
in the town of Fulton where be resided
until his death In 1868 he was mar
ried to Miss Amelia Wood, who survives
to mourn his death. Two children also
survive him, Mrs. R. L. Page of Fulton,
and Mrs. Fred p Grove of GAINESVILLE.
Mr.. William Pomeroy Of GAINESVILLE is
brother of the deceased. Mr.. Pomeroy
lived to the ripe age of 81 years. Until
two years ago his health was vigorous.
Of late, however, he gradually failed.
His death was due TO a general break
down and form of apoplexy. He was
man of sterling character, who COM
manded by his integrity and kindliness
of heart the respect and love of all who
knew him.

Mr.. G. l.. Culton's illness spoken of
last week proves to be neuralgia instead
of malaria, and the similarity Of the
names probably led The Reporter into
the error. Mr.. Culton says he was sur
prised to learn that he had contracted
malaria when he considers the climate
of Virginia. where he had been spending
several weeks, the healthiest in the
country. The mperature ranged around
70 degrees when he left and the weather
was as pleasant as our June. We are
glad to learn that Mr.. Culton has nearly
recovered from the cold he contracted
on his return trip.

the program are Prin. W. A. Clark, pres
ident of the association, Miss Lucy
Whitmore, leader of the grammar grade
section, ard Miss Gertrude Musgrove,
who will discuss a paper in the grammar

COTTON FROM JEFFERSON
COUNTY
Stalks from Gen. GOrdOn's PIantn-
ton ON Exhibition at Exchange


Gen. w. W. Gordon had on exhibition
on the Cotton Exchange yesterday sew
eral stalks of cotton from the fields of
his plantation In Jefferson county. The
cellent fruiting.
Three stalks were shown, one being
thirty-three inches high with fifty-th
balls, another twenty inches high with
twenty-eight balls. and the third six
teen inches high with seventeen balls
The labels told that the cotton was
raised in worn out fields in the red
clay hills of Jefferson county.
Gen. Gordon had an opportunity to
observe the cotton crop to advantage
in the territory he visited He rode
over his own plantation of which there
are $50 acres in cotton alone, and
also over the farms of a few of his
neighbors, making in all a personal in
spection of some 1000 acres of growing
cotton. He found no shedding of any
consequence, and with the plant at it's
present stage of development he does
not believe it will be caught by frost
in view of the fact that no frost has
visited that section in the past TWEEN
ty years before Oct. 2. On the whole
satisfaction is expressed with the crop,
though it is later than usual.
Gen. Gordon takes special pride in
his cotton plantation, and the attention
given the plant on his place makes it
a good example of what the thrifty
planters in that section of the state
are doing The plants exhibited here
were fortified with acid phosphate
and cottonseed meal
