A PROGRESSIVE POLICY


THE News takes pride in furnishing
TO its readers to-day the evening report
Of the Trans Mississippi Press AssOcia-
ton, which will hereafter be perman-
ent feature Of the paper. This gives 20
its patrons an account Of current events
twelve hours in advance of any other
medium Of news. and anticipates intelli-
gence for which they have hitherto been
dependent upon the morning papers
from Topeka. This enterprising depart
ure is in harmony with q policy which
has always been observed in the man-
sgemeht Of this paper. 1t
has ever been the aim OF
the NEWS TO anticipate the demands
Of the situation and 10 keep steadily in
advance Of the interests of the town.
When the project OF a daily publication
was FIRST essayed, il was a matter Of seri-
Gus doubt whether the enterprise could
be sustained in Emporia. and the ven
ture was not established without q con-
| flict with those manifold discourage
menls which beset the infancy of the
average daily journal. The success OF
the experiment and prosperous outcome
OF the undertaking has been due &c
the encouragement OF generous and
public-spirited people, who are heartily
enlisted in the growth and prosperity OF
our beautiful city, and who realize
the potency Of = live newspaper as

and to merit the future kindly consider
alton of our patrons that We add TO THE
NEWS, without any advance in the price
Of subscription, though at avery consid
cradle expense. q feature winch, We fee
warranted in saying, makes il in ever
way worthy of our city and q fitting
exponent of its rapidly expanding in
terests. There is no town in Kansal
which enjoys . more enviable reputation
than Emporia and the future is rich il
possibilities for her continued growth

Some one has said there is nothing 30
much needed in many families as lit
tie judiciOus laziness. This does not
apply TO all, but there are those who are
all work and no play. and Look upon a
hard days work rs the measure OF hu-
man virtue. Would Il not be better for
all such to stop and think what work is
for, and gain broader view of liCe-its
aims and blessings? There are prob
lens in life that need study, and this
mental work can not be done when the
body Is exhausted with toll. The less
active the brain becomes, the more the
man grows into q mere machine. All
that Is suggested Is that the worker
spend more time In thinking; IL will
make the labor easier, the life broadeI
and more successful.

Secretary Windows official career, up

ed the wisdom Of President Garfield In
assigning TO him the responsible charge
OF the portfolio Of the treasury. His re.
funding operations have been attended
with the most gratifying success. and
under his skillful management OF the
public finances the national debt has
been reduced nearly $4,000, 900 each
month. In addition to this he has in.
augurated a thorough investigation
OF the machinery Of his

Queen Victoria celebrated her
sixty-second birthday last Tuesday.
This anniversary was marked
by joyous festivities through
out the United Kingdom Of Great Brit
ain and It's extensive foreign provinces
and the spontaneous nature OF the hap
pY demonstrations gave evidence Of the
high esteem in which this excellent ru-
Ter is held by her subjects. The gentler
sex have cause for congratulasiOn in the
fact that the throne Of one of the most
enlightened and powerful natiOnalities
of the world is occupied by woman,
who is today the most popular sovereign
in Europe, having endeared herself to
her people by life of singular purity
in which the attributes OF the no.
BILE wife and devoted mother have
shone forth amid all the pOmp
of power and the glitter of q
splendid court. The quality OF mercy
which has marked her reign and the
tender sympathy with the suffering of
her realm which has characterized her
life, have exercised an incalculable in
fiuence in keeping within the bounds
OF moderation that growing sentiment

Personal AND POLITICAL.

1t never rains but it pours. Ben But
Ter has espoused the cause of Mr.. Conk-
ling.
"If my Senatorial career was SO soon
done for, what in thunder was itever be-
gun for ?"-T. C. Plat.
1t is automatically stated that Mr..
Plat swears vehemently whenever Mr..
Conkling stubs his toe.
There is considerable subteranean
work being done in behalf of the fall
canvass in this vicinity.
Congressman Updegraff, of Ohio, has
presented to President Garfield a span
of blooded Horseshoe dark brown in
color and the other iron-gray.
New York's senator and half is the
way the Tribune puts it. 1t is rational
to assume that Mr.. Plat figures as the
fractional part of this aggregation.
New York Tribune: Photographs of
Plat would sell well in all parts of the
country. Anybody can imagine how he
feels, and everybody wishes to see how
he looks.
JEFF Davis is en- route for Canada.
That country always seemed to possess
remarkable attractions for that class OF
Democrats who are unalterably opposed
to "coercing a state"
Mr.. Conkling's earthly possessions
are reported to aggregate about $40, 900.
1t may be proper to state that Mr..
Plat is not included in the list of as
sets upon which this estimate is based
General Hancock is getting fatter and
roster. In this connection it may be
proper to state that the late superb
candidate for President is singularly
free from all fanaticism on the subject
of prohibition.
If the prevailing rumors concerning
Mr.. Blaine's feeble health are 10 be
credited, it will be pretty generally ad.
mitted that he is the most vigorous in.
valid in the country with the possible
exception of Mr.. Tilden.
The inevitable law of compensation
holds good at every point. If a minute
of hind-sight were not worth a whole
year of foresight. Roscoe Conkling and
Tom Plat would not be reveling today
in the peaceful joys of private life.
"Whcn predicted that President
Garfield would have the stormiest ad-
ministratiOn of any executive for the
past twenty years, a good many idiots
were "brash" enough to say that the old
man didn't know what he was talking
| about."-S. J. Tilden.
