SENTIMENT The perfection of
the moral qualities Of human &C
tons is accompanied by an emo
ton of the soul that is called SEN
timent. Sentiment is q support
of nature-that invites us to good
by the attraction of the noblest
joys Of which man is capable, and
turns us from evil by the contempt,
the aversion, the horror with which
it inspires us. 1t is a fact, that by
the contemplation Of beautiful
action or a noble character, at the
same time that we perceive these
qualities of the action and the
character, We feel for the person a
love mingled with respect, and
sometimes an admiration which IL
full of tenderness. A bad action,
a loose and perfdious character
excite a contrary sentiment. The
internal appreciation of conscience
and remorse are sentiments attach
ed to the perception of the moral
qualities of our own actions.
Governed by reason sentiment
becomes to it an admirable sup
pert. But delivered up to itself,
in little while 1t degenerates into
passion, and passion is fantastic,
excessive, unjust; it gives to the
soul spring and energy, but gene
rally troubles and perverts it.
Unless we always keep in sight
the good and the infexiblc obi
CATION that is attached to it, the
soul knows not where to betake
itself on that moving ground that
is called sensibllity; it fats from
sentiment to passion, from gener-
-osity to selfishness, ascending one
day to the pitch of enthusiasm,
and the next day descending to
ali the miseries of personality.

BONDS AND TAXES AGAIN.

EDITOR NEWS: Permit meagain,
through yonr columns. to say 3
few more words about railroad
bonds. see that the proposition
to vote bonds for the Kansas City,
Emporia and Walnut Valley rail.
road has been submitted. We con-
fess to be amongst those who
''cuss'' the railroad tax. We hold
it as a principle that taxes should
be raised for the purposes of civil
government, and that only; hence
our hostility TO railroad bonds.
We think, Mr.. Editor, you are
mistaken in saying that our rail-
road tax is only. one sixth of our
taxes. Look at the assessment for
last year: State tax, 90 cents;
county tax, A cents, county rail-
road bonds, so cents; total, 81. Is.
Our railroad tax of so cents is
thus more than one third of our
county and State taxes, and i'm
Guiding our school tax not quite,
one fourth.
AS to the proposition to transfer
100000 of our present railroad
stock to the Kansas City, Emporia
and Walnut Valley railroad, in
consideration of the location of
their repair and machine shops in
Emporia, We ask what benefits are
the county to derive from the To-
cation of said shops in Emporia
in return for the princely dona-
ton of $20O,OOO? Railroad men,
pray tell us.
The prevailing idea here is that
the late survey through the north
ern portion of the county is a
humbug, got up by the Emporia
Board Of Trade, and done for the
purpose of hoodwinking the peo-
pie of this section and tn ereby get
their votes for the real proposition
at issue. The proceedings on this
proposition and the parties engag-
ed in it are denounced as dishon-
est and deceitful. We ask the
people of the county if they are
willing to trust their interests and
their money in the hands of un-
scrupulous men who throw princi-
pie aside and use any means, no
matter how base, for the further
ance of their own ends. Fa rmers
of Lyon county, the blood hounds
of Emporia are on your track; be
active and watchful. External
vigilance is the price of liberty.

THIS FOR HIGH.
How Viee-PresideRt WilsOa was Cap.
tured by Female Lobbyist.

From the Washington Capital, March 3D.
A rich incident is related of"Our
Henry'-so rich, in fact, We can
not for the life of us refrain from
giving it to our readers. sour
Henry is well known for his piety
and philanthropy. In fact philan-
thropy is his best hold, and ne is
never SO happy as when doing
something for poor, suffering HUI
mainly. But to our incident.
Among the numerous nurses who
went to the 'sfront' during the late
"onpleasantness," to care for the
sick and suffering "boys in blue"
was q Mrs. Blank, all the way from
Maine. Now Maine is noted for
the patriotism of her sons and
daughters, and it would be sup
posed that Mrs. Blank was per-
fectly willing to serve her country
on the score of patriotism, merely
to keep up the reputation Of the
old "Pinetree" State, you know.
But she wasn't. For now the
aforesaid Mrs. Blank comes all the
way from Maine to press her claim
for services rendered and injuries
received while in the service of the
government, and the way she
pressed it was a caution to nov
ices, which would have delighted
the heart OF even Joe Stewart,
while inearcsrated in a tsblasted"
Congressional bastile. Of course
Mrs. Blank laid siege to the afiec-
tions and sympathy of Old Henry,
as a starting point, who introduc-
ed her petition in the Senate and
had it referred to the committee on
Military Affairs, of which III. 7.
was then chairman. From that
hour the troubles of t'Heel-taps"
commenced. for Mrs. Blank is none
of your milk-and-water lobbyists
who can easily be put of with n
promise to do something; with
her the thing must be done. Then,
angular and impudent, she moved
as if worked by locomotive; and
as she swept past one could almost
| hear the clock-work of well-oiled
and perfect machinery. "Heel-
taps" promised, postponed, and
begged off on various pretexts I'M
| til the patience of the party from
Maine had become exhausted.

ately put the key in her pocket.
Waving aloft her parasol in an
ominous manner, the party from
Maine proceeded to "define her
position" winding up with q scath-
ing denunciation of mankind in
general and of the "Heel-taps'' in
particular, stating her intention
not to leave the room until she
had satisfaction. She WAS not GO

who had braved the dangers of q
thousand battle-f fields, as it were,
and while carrying of wounded
soldier had fallen into a rifle-pit
and broken her leg. Not much.
Not if she knew herself. "Heel-
taps" was by this time thoroughly
alarmed. He was out of reach of
the bell, and the party from Maine
was nearest the woodbox. He
ventured mildly to suggest that |
there might be some mistake about |
the broken leg. This was the last |
straw that broke the camers back.
Like a tigress in defense of her

doubts cast upon that broken leg
that was too much. Flesh and
blood could not stand it, and she
now demanded q solemn pledge
shat she should have justice done.
1t was aggraYating enough that
she should suffer privations and
diseases incident to camp life, but
to have her word doubted was be-
yond human endurances," and she
was therefore compelled to give
him ocular proof, and without
for objection or remon-

thereon, demanded
il her statements. as well as her

One glance was enough for Old
Philanthropy. He tainted. The
leg had rushed to his head. And
it is only necessary to add that the
bill for the relief of Mrs. Blank
that day passed the Senate, and
went to the House, where-the
of Mrs. Blank and the
story of her broken leg having
preceded her-it was summarily
passed, the committee thinking,
very properly, that it was we'll
worth q thousand dollars to get
rid of such n customer, from whom
none but able-bodied members of
Congress were safe.

tee of the L. S. Senate which has
charge of the subject of transporta-
ton between the west and the east,
O matter which President Grant has
brought so prominently TO the at
tention of the country, was author
ity to sit during the summer, in Or
der to investigate the matter thor
oughly. We trust that much good
may be done by this movement, as
nothing is more evident than that
we must speedily have better facili-
ties for communication in this re-
spect. We believe the proposition
for the government TO build and
operate railroad from the east to
the west, is rapidly gaining favor
with the people, and that it may be
adopted as one of the means of do
ing away with the present railroad
monopolies and abuses. We do
not know whether the recent secret
railroad convention has anything to
do with the sitting of the Senate
committee or not, but the day is
rapidly coming when railroads will
not do as they please in this coun-
try, if we mistake not the signs OF
the times.

dred, he ought to be happy man.
Here We paid, last year, 81. 30, SO
cents of which was railroad tax,
but trihe over one SiGth of the
total tax, as we stated some weeks
ago. Seeing that the railroad tax
has done us, so far, great deal of
good, we ought not to "cuss' it
exclusively.
ANTI Bond is badly mistaken
when he asserts that the Emporia
Board of Trade caused to be made
the recent survey through the
northern portion of this county,
to the mouth of Rock Creek
We assert positively that no one
in Emporia had anything to dc
with that survey, or even knew OF
it until after it was commenced
We make this assertion because
not only "Anti Bond" but others
have expressed the opinion that
that was an Emporia trick. They
are just as much mistaken as they
can be. We soppose these gen
tlemen will not assert anything
unfair even against Emporia. We
learn from good sources that thai
road is to be built, and we con
graduate our neighbors up there
on the prospect of having road
so near them. We trust it will be
built.
