by melting together four parts (by

Purpose Of Pruning Grapes

The purpose OF pruning is to leave
only sufficient number of buds on
canes OF the current seasons growth
to give such an amount OF fruit the
coming season as the age and strength
or the vine can support. Pruning
should be varied somewhat to suit the
habits Of the different varieties. The
stronger growing sorts should have
more wood allowed them than the
weaker ones. The vines should not
be allowed to bear much fruit until
strong enough to grow vigorous canes
with strong laterals. Thrifty laterals
develop fruit buds near the base.
These laterals are cut back % from
four to six budsl depending on the
age and strength of the vine. Allow
as much fruit to set as the vine can
support and grow to perfection

NO POLITICS N COUNTY OFFICE.


No democratic candidate can be elect
ed to Office this fall unless he receives
from two to three hundred republican
votes-plus his own total party vote.
Every democratic candidate therefore
believes firmly in the theory that there
IS mo politics in county ofdce'.-except
when he is talking to a democratic voter.
When democratic candidate ap-
proaches the republican voter with the
proposition for support on the ground
Of mo politics in county Office" let the
republican voter ask that candidate how
many OF the republican candidates is he
going to vote for? It is poor rule that
won't work both ways.
Man for man, office for Office, there is
no valid ground why politics should not
govern in this election. Other things
being equal, then republican deserves
the support OF republicans.
1t does make difference whether it is
republicans or democrats holding county
Office. Not great deal, if any, in the
duties of the Office itself, but a great deal
in the parties and the work and organi-
cation of the parties. Six to a dozen
good men who have personal, bread
and butter, interest in the success of a
party, make big difference in
the general results-and some of the re-.
suits are certainly political, or else there
is no such thing as politics. y

REVISION OF THE TARIFF.

D :
There is something Of an attempt by
the democrats IN this campaign to revive
the question OF protective tariff. In fact
# that plank was taken from their plat.
form there would be practically little left
except their expressed or implied desire
for Office.
The fact is that there can be but little
charge possible in the tariff rates. The
government revenues must come from
tariff as there is no other practical meth
cd OF raising money.
There are no means possible to any
party to reduce the expenditures of the
government to any great extent certain
" not sufficiently to justify q reduction
OF the revenue from the tariff, even as
now constituted. The only thing posi-
bic for either party 70 do with the tariff
y to adjust its burdens as equally as pos
sible.
Grover Cleveland was elected on the
tariff issue. It was explained at that
time by republican papers that no great
change was possible, but somehow the
people got the idea into their heads that
the democrats could, in some unexplain.
ed way, reduce the tariff and the ''poor
man" would cease to be robbed by the
rich man" The democrats did 60 to
work as soon as they got into power aud
we believe honestly tried to do some
thing towards that which they had prom
ised. but history proved it flat failure.
They disarranged the tariff to an extent
that scared the business world into a
panic. but after all did not succeed in
making any practical reduction at all,
and it was never telt by the poor man.

Il couldn't be done then and it can't
be done now. The tariff question has

then heard her little feet start down the

Poor Ethel! this night for the first

Glendenning to visit the tower and follow
out directions he gave her in full, for
producing the illusions that were to terri

In great agitation then, and still weep
ing, she had proceeded to the fulfillment
of her loathsome duty, and in her grief
and excitement, for the first time forgot
to fasten the door, after possessing her
self of the food.
This forgetfulness accounts for the
entrance of the doctor into the corridor.

FAMOUS CHURCH BUILDER.

Bishop McCabe the Most Striking Fig
ure in American Methodism.
The most striking figure In Ameri-
can Methodism is Dr. Charles G. Nc
Cabe, the new resident bishop of Phila-
delphia, assigned by the General Con-
ference AS church builder, lecturer
and litter Of church debts he is known
not only in every State of the Unien
but in almost every country as well.
More than 1000 Methodist congrega-
tons owe their houses of worship di-
rectfy to his personal efforts, while
thousands Of missions, situated in ev-
cry corner Of the globe, are maintained
from the income Of $1,OOO,OOO estab-
lished under his immediate supervis-
ion.
Bishop McCabe is now 6S years old
and has been a member of the church
since his eighth year. After being
graduated from the Ohio Wesleyan
University, in 1860, he was received
into the Ohio Conference. When war
broke out he entered the service as
chaplain in the One Hundred and
Twenty-second Ohio Infantry. The
