HONE TRAINING IN THE UNITED
STATEs.-Tt is q matter of general
regret among Americans, though
did moi. observe that any steps were
taken to remedy the acknowledge
cd evil, that parental authority
over the young is brief, weak and
lessening. Such is the precocious
spirit of independence generated
by the political institutions of the
country and the general current of
social life, that the boys and girls
OF twelve and fourteen think them
selves quite competent to decide
many questions for themselves
and do decide them, on which Eng
lish boys and girls Of eighteen
or twenty would still feel bound
to consult and obey their parents.
And as in England, so in America,
the lower you descend in the social
strata, the more markedly this ten
dency exhibits itself. 1t was pit
eous and saddening to see, as
had occasion to sec frequently
when mothers would come to the
office OF the superintendent Of
schools to excuse or complain of
the truancy Of their children, par
ents helpless to control the wills
and even the caprices of lads of
eleven or ten, or even younger
years. 1t is not q natural nor Z
normal state of things; every
well-wisher TO the United States
every one who desires to see that
great commonwealth equal to the
destiny that lies before her-can
not but hope that, for so manifest
III inversion OF great social law,
a remedy may soon be found

WORK


We would SAY TO those who OPP
pose the railroad konds that Il
they want to beat them they must
work. The election comes on the
I'D of this month. and there are
only four more working days be-
tween this and the election. That
time ought 20 be well .spenl.
Have your teams ont to haul to
the polls those who want to
stay away Have your working
mittees at the polls. Let the
opposition he active. An end
must be ppt to the bond business
at least till times improve. We
are in the condition of the man
who has been living for a time be
yond his income. The whole
country IS in this aw FIJI condition.
We must stop. and reeuperate or
go into bankruptcy This is a
plain case.
Don't threaten those who favor
the bonds with political vengeance.
Don't raise the cry Of ''none but
farmers for office" That's all
humbugl II WON'T amount to
any thing, and won't scare any
body. Some Of our heaviest tax
payers are in favor of the bonds.
We think they are mistaken in
their judgment in believing the
voting Of more bondswili help us
ont OF our troubles. We give
them credit for the same degree
of honesty we ask for ourselves in
them. There is no use
for the county TO rail and plot
against the town, nor the town
the country, Every man
has right to do as be plcases in
this county, with his voice and
vote, and he should not he ostra-
cised for exercising these privi-
leges. Any little arrangement to
run this bond election into poll
tics, will fail. We don't want any
such talk. It's bosh.
We want to work on the main
question. Bonds have been ear
ried heretofore by the apathy of
those opposed to them, and if we
have thae APATHY next Tuesday
the bonds will be carried. The
friends OF the bonds depend more
on the opposition staying at home
than anything else. So put in the
time. f-
Have every voter out, and the
proposition viii go under by q
heavy majority

EDITOR News. Every other
interest in this section is second

are fully aroused to our ewn in

faction is being takehAto defeat the
said proposition. We have al
ready held three rousng 9and en-

and have other appointments.
We have pretty thoroughly dis
cussed the matter fand have posi-
tive assurance that other town
ships in the county are equally in

we do not intend TO. hare the pro
position carry, Notwithstanding
one of Emporia's most prominent
men has repeatedly made the as
serticn that the proposition would
carry by 200 majority AT the
meeting held here Tuesday even
ing last we effected an organiza-
ton by eleeting 81: w. B. Hewitt
president; Marion Sanders, vice
president; j. L. Lambdin, secre-
tary, and Neil Campbell treasurer.
We have notified the secretary of

iCONDEcrED by PROF. $. 5. RABC0cK.
/ Below We give two items con-
corning manners among children
in this country; the one from an
American, the other from an Eng
lish stand point. If the American
view is true, what shall be said of
those who find fault with teachers
for giving so much attention to
the department of pupils; and If
the English view is correct, what
ought to be the action of parents
who are conscious thst their chill
dren are growing into rude and
impertinent men and women? We
are inclined to think the writer
who criticises the New York pa
perEs view is about right. Society
at large is the real cause of the
growing want Of polite department
in children. 1t has encouraged
"cuteness' until cuteness has de-
generated into insolence. II so.
ciety demands that children shall
be courteous and retiring, they
will be; otherwise we must still
submit to be crowded from the
sidewalks by girls and boys.
1t is frequently asserted that
there is decline in the manners
of the young-that there is more
dress than formerly, but less civil
ity; more "airs' but less courtesy.
A New York paper traces this de-
cadence TO the influence of public
schools, and charges that there is
no feature of their management
more deficient than that which
manifests itself IN the i'll manners
of the pnpils. This charge does
not surprise us, for what wrong or
defect in society is not traced by
certain writers to the schools?
Then, too, how rapidly everything
is deteriorating! What a decline
there is in health, thought, man
ners, morals, virtue and industry
Nothing is what it used to be
Whether there is a decadence in
manners We cannot SAVIOUR OBJ
servation is not sufficiently wide
but it is evident that there is no
lack of i'll manners, and there are
several prolific sources of this evil
to be found outside of our schools.
Our teachers certainly have a sur-
ficiently heavy contract in cor
recttng rudeness and i'll breeding,
without engaging in their manu-
facture, and it is possible that |
many are culpable for neglect OF
this important duty. Our public |
schools should assiduously cnlti-
vate habits of civil and curteous
behavior, and this must be done
both by precept and example, in
season and out of season. Such |
training is as important as instruc-
ton in arithmetic and English
grammar. Moreover the manners
of a school should never be grad
ed down to the average pupil, but
up to the teachers standard and
example. Good manners should
never be one of the teachers per-
sonal wants.

CHEAPER Transportation DE-
MASDED.-Harper's Weekly takes
mp the cry for cheaper Transports
ton between the East and West,
and publishes powerful article full
of startling statistics on the. subject.
In May corn is carried from Chicago
to New York by way of the lakes
and the Erie canal for I61z cents per
bushel, the all-raii rate during the
summer being % cents. As soon as
navigation closes the rates by mail
are immediately advanced to 3614
cents From st Louis the summer
rates by rail is % cents; the winter
rate, ~ cents.
The Weekly says:
What the people of the North
west-the granary of nations-now
demand is cheap transportation to
the sea-board. They uLge that the
water ways should be improved, but
above all that the great railways
shall run at cheap, fixed and uni
form rates." Every year the evil is
increasing; soon another 10000, 900
of people farther westward will be
clamoring for new means of trans
portation. The only way to check
excessive charges is to provide COM
petition, and the European and A
merican capitalists, the people OF the
East aud West, may we'll unite in
creating new system of railroads
that shall connect New York with
the grain-growing region and bring
the hood that now wastes upon the
ground to the population of both
worlds. Humanity and certain
profit urge the speedy compliance
with the request of millions of
farmers.
