Mr.. CHARLES NoRDnorf, writing to the
Herdld says the Cabinet Is satisfactory to nearly
everybody except Senator Cameron, and that Cork-
ling and Logan are in entire harmony with President
Garfield and ready to accord him earnest support.
He adds that
In the general belief IT Us already understood that
President Garfield has determined the broad principle
on which his Cabinet shall he formed. This is that
every prominent section of the party shall have n
spokesman, representative with whom II freely
communicate and who, 10y his peculiar affiliations,
can easily hear complaints. give ear to remonstranccs,
and do what will conduce To the general harmony of
the party When 1t Is added that this policy has the
flee and full consent of the active and powerful party
leaders, that 1t Is adopted with their good win and
foreknowlcdge and will have their support, II is not
difficult to see that the change OF name will not he

plymouth Paragraphs,

Plymouth lyceum was closed for the
season Saturday evening, the I'd inst, by
a grand festival, the proceeds of which
are to be used for the benefit of the
Plymouth Union Sabbath school. The
festival was success. Near sunset wag-
ons and buggies were seen collecting
about the school house for the purpose
of bringing in the provisions. At an
early hour long table was richly laden
with a variety of all the good things
that our land is capable of producing.
It was intended to be an evening of en-
joyment, and it was made so by every
one present taking hold cheerfully with
design to that end. The seats of the
house were filed. After few pieces of
music and Rotations appropriate to tn {
occasion, all present, according TO num-
Der, had turn at the frequently replen-
ished table. The PROVISIONS left over
were ample for as many more as had
eaten. The ladies deserve much
credit for the liberal manner in which
they contributed, as il is no light matter
to cook for festival. Besides having q
good time, the object in view was real
ized-that is the money, which netted some
thing over $31. This money will be ex-
pended as wisely as possible for the ben
eft of the Sabbath school. /. Our school
has a new organ, the funds for which
was raised principally through the ener-
gy of Mrs. L. M. Harris and Mrs. L. j.
Walker. Our school gave vote of
thanks to /. D. Fox, of whom the organ
was purchased, for giving discount of
$50. With our present equipment of
papers, books, quarterlies etc, there is no
reason why we cannot have profitable
Sabbath school, except it be for the
want of energetic christian teachers, a
deficiency which we find IN most of our
country Sabbath schools. G. N. III.

The Third Case

Sunday morning, as Mrs. Murphy
and her son Joe were on their way to
church, the latter stepped aside TO allow
a gentleman to pass them on the side
walk, on the south side of Sixth avenue,
when loose board flew up and tripped
Mrs. Murphy, throwing her to the
ground and breaking her right arm.
She was taken to her home and physi-
clan was summoned, who reduced the
fracture and We are glad to learn that
she is comparatively comfortable at this
writing.
This is the third case of this kind
within the past few months, and if the
city does not find itself with a number
of suits for damages on its hands, we
mistake the regard of the injured parties
for the safety of the general public,
which, it seems, can only be secured by
compulsory measures. The council of
Emporia for TWO years licensed eight or
nine whiskey shops on the plea that the
revenue derived from that source would
be adequate to supply the city with side
walks, but if any town in Kansas can
show up a more complete system of man.

Tentative left the press but to pursue the

to correct it. II will certainly be more

Arbor nav


EDITORS NEWS: In THE DAILY NEWS
of Friday there Is short local regarding
the appointment of "Arbor Day." by
County Superintendent Wharton, in
which you say. would it not be well to
call meeting and appoint committees
to make arrangements for an Arbor Day ?"
Now, Mr.. Editor, don't you know bet
ter than this? Certainly in the face of
the facts you ought to know that the at
tempt would be useless. After this mat
ter has been talked over for months, the
constitution OF the Topeka society pro-
cured and the plan examined, you ought
not to be so dull as not to see that the
people of Emporia are not going to
tolerate any interference with their God
given right to use the streets, alleys and
parks, and for that matter other peoples
| gardens for COW pasture, for the sake
of any of this tree planting tom-foolery.
Don't You know this hurrah about tree
planting, Arbor Day, and such stuff is
only a scheme of Milliken, Hallberg and
these other tree peddlers to get to sell us
lot of trees and to swindle us3 For
didn't the County Horticultural Society
in the winter pass long string of reso-
buttons asking the people to call meet
ing to take this matter into consideration
something like Topeka has done?
Why, Mr.. Editor, am really surpris-
ed that you should be caught with such
chat. Just think what our poor COWS
would do if this idea was to be carried
out Here are over two hundred COWS,
the most of them belonging to poor peo
pie, who do not own foot of land, and
If their freedom is to be trampled on in
this way they cannot keep them. You
would take the bread, or rather the milk
out of their children's mouths-and only
for few paltry trees. The stable litter
and other manure now thrown into the
alleys Tin violation of city ordinance,
would be allowed to accumulate to ar
alarming degree, as there would be nc
cows to eat it up as at present The eff
feet OF this change upon the healthful
ness of the milk will leave for anothe,
time
In conclusion, I think you had better
go slow on this tree business, or you viii
have our town so cramped up that yo1
cannot get a breath Of fresh air, and VIC
will be obliged to get our milk from thu
milk peddlers. Yours for the best inter
ests Of the city. HoRTTcoI-A.
