The Warsaw Indienian, Repu b lican, says, “It is impossible to publish a paper to suit everybody, and the only way to punish its publishers for their inability to do so is to boveott them. At least w that is the plan pnrsued by some people.” Whereupon the Rochester Republican says, “If Gen. Williams is in need of spmpathy we might add that we are in a position to extend a liberal share of it. Every editor of any considerable ability; every newspaper that occupies advanced ground in mat** ters pertaining to the good of the party, the communityjand the people generally places itself in a position *o bo antagonized by those who want to be recognized as posrsessing ideas worthy of recognition. There are but few persons who deem themselves capable of advising or elevating one occupymg a public office, but there are many who will not pass an opportunity to pull him down. All battles waged by political enemies are every way dosirable, but to be assassinated in the dark by men who are personally friendly in the day time causes one to mistrust even those to whom the greatest favors have been extended.” Whoßd fault is it? Strike back, gentleme i, strke back. They’ll hunt their holes —Valparaiso Wesson* gfr.

“Strike back, gentlemen, strike back.” Zim gives good advice. — Men who will obstruct the efforts of an editor to secure the success of his party, it may be depended upon, notwithstanding their asseveration to the contrary, are either unfriendly to the party, or they are the paid emissaries of the opposition.

The Boston Budget reports an aoM. dote of a little girl who is very fond of walking with her fathen. One day he went further than usual, and she be. gan to grow tired. She did her utmost to conceal the fact, lest it should make her father Indisposed to take her with him on on future occasions. At last her lagging steps betrayed her to her father’s whtchful eye. Even then, however, she parried hii questions, and could not be brought to admit her weakness, till he drew her into a trap. “Well, Lillie, if you don’t feel tired, tell me just how you do feel. ” “Oh, I’m not much tired, papa,* answered the diplomatic little girl, “but I feel as if I would like to take my legs off and carry ’em awhile.”

We are all curious—and it is s ~r-prising prising how curious we are —to know the way other people live, especially well known people.— For several months we have been treated to glimpses into “Some Homes U der‘ the Administration,” in Washington, in a fine series of beautifully illustrated articles in Demorest’s Family Magazine . In the August Number (just airived,) PostmasterGeneral Wanamaker’s mansion is thrown open to us, and we are charmed with its beauties. The handsomelv executed illustrations give us every detail as accurately as would a personal view, and it is a great pleasure to stroll with the writer and artist through the elegant ap irtments and the famous picture-gallery, the latter containing some of the rarest works of art in America. This August number should be seen t y everybody, if for this feature alone; but it contains other features equally in** terestin c , not the least of which is an aceount of “The Oberrammereau Passion-Play,” which is illustrated not only with a picture of the Bavarian village wheie the play is now being enacted, but also with many of the tablaux shown in this historical perform ance. There is also a complete novelette by Queen Elizabeth of Roumania (“Carmen Sylva”),preceded bv her portrait and fine illustrations ot her summer castle I and her houdoir. The other articles ana stories are all of the high-

est order and beautifally lllustrat ed, forming a Midsummer Number of rare merit, which is enhanced by a sea-shore water-color frontispiece of artistic value.— Published by W. Jennings Demorest, 15 East 14th St., New York.

Republican politics in Kosciusko county have been rotten for years. Gen. Williams, ot the Warsaw, Indiaman-Republican, publicly confesses(a death-bed repentance; that some years ago he sat down in his office and wrot* affidavit after affidavit for Mr. James H. Cisnev, a Republican boss, denying certain damaging charges against him, using fictitious names for the sig.nature, and printing thousands of them. Mr. Cisney was the Republican candidate for Sheriff and the Democrats had unearthed some of his rascalities. Gen. Williams’ manufactured affidavits saved him from defeat. This same Cisney (now a Federal officeholder) has since turned around and stabbed Gen. Williams in the b°ck. “The wage 3 ot‘ sin is deatn.” Had Gen. Williams spurned the dirty political work, Mr. Cisney would not have been placed in a condition to knife him. Dirty political work never pays an editor. It pays him much better to crush such political rascals and defeat them. A rascal is a rascal, and there are rascals in all parties. Generally the biggest rascals are the biggest men in the party. Gen. Williams has been a great offender against public morality and he must pay the penalty. The man who does the dirty political work f<>r the bosses is generally cast off when the work is done. A political scavenger is without respect. He is scorned an » hated and despised by his employer even while he is doing his dirty work. That is the way Benjamin Hamson, President of the United States, treats William W. Dudley, the man who corruptly carried Indiana for him in 1888. Mr. Cisney. one of his officeholders, couldn’t be expected to be better than his master. Gen. Williams in his blind partizan zeal himself to the base purposas of a political harlot and was betrayed. There is but one course for Gen. Williams to pursue, and that is to expose the rot* tennessof Reouolican in Kosciusko ccunty. It is heroic treatment, and may kill both the father and the mother but it will save the life of the child. We have some such political corruptionists in Porter county. Th«ir ou'ward appearance ic childlike and bland, but their hearts are as black as hell itself.—Valparaiso Messenger.

“Lemonade and buttermilk are as good as anything drinkable that you can find for this weather,” said a physician. “They are both great things to quench the thirst. They both act as a pleasant tonic to the stomach and th-y have a stimulating quality. But they should not be drunk ice cold.— That is bits of ice should not be in the goblet. L9t them be as cold as the ice chest or refrigerator can make them, but not more than that. When you pour down your throat a pint or so of finid that is fresh from the ice temporary paralysis of the stomach follow, if a man happens to be very hot such a thing not infrequently is as fatal as a stroke of lightning.” The New York World says the average rate of duty on taxed imports nnder the existing law is 41.34 per cent. Under the McKinley bill as passed by the House it would be 52.80 per cent, and as amended by the Senatesl.97. This is a higher rate than was reached in any of the war tariffs.
