A Mothers Responsibility.

Mamma" said a delicate lit
tie girl, II have broken my
china vase"
swell, you are a naughty,
careless, t~roublesomelittle thing,
always in some mischief; go up
stairs and wait till | send for
YOU"
And this was the mothers
answer to a fearful little culprlt
who had struggled with and
conquered the temptation to tell
a falsehood to screen a fault.
With a disappointed, dishearten-
ed look the sweet child obeyed
and at that moment was crushed
in her little heart the sweet flow
er of truth, perhaps never again
in after years to blossom into
life. o, what were the loss OF a
thousand vases in comparison!
'Tis true, can angel might
shrink from the responsibilities
of a mother" 1t needs an an
gels powers. The watch must
not for an instant be relaxed ;
the scales ofjustice must always
be nicely balanced the hasty
word that the overtaxed spirit
sends to the lips must die there
before it is uttered.
The timid and sensitive child
must have a word Of encourage
ment in season; the forward and
presumiug checked with gentle
firmness; there must be no de-
ception, no trickery, for the keen
eve of childhood to detect, and
above all, when the exhausted
brain sinks with ceaseless vigils,
perhaps, and the thousand petty
Interruptions and unlocked for
annoyances of every hour al
most set al defiance any at
tempt at system, still must that
mother wear an mlrlff1ed brow
lest the smiling cherub on her
knee catch the angry frown. Still
must she rule her own spirit,
lest the boy so engrossed in his
TOYS repeat the next moment
the impatient word his ear has
caught. For all the duties faith
fully performed, IL mothers re-
ward is in secret and silence
Even he, on whose earthly breast
she leans, is too often unmindful
of the noiseless struggle, till, toe
late, alas! he learns to value the
delicate hand that has kept III

WHY NOT2-- Some OF the
newspapers Of the day are ask
ing why there are 50 many IN
trained workmen 1t seems
that in busy times employers
find great difficulty in securing
skilled mechanics. Tens OF
thousands want work, but they
have no training. Why should
not the State teach boys and
girls some useful calling? Know:
ing how to read and write will
not enable young persons to
earn their bread, and it is very
desirable that our whole popu-
lation should be trained to some
useful industry. We would
have fewer criminals and pau
pers if every young man and
woman had at their command q
trade or money-making calling.
Our destiny is to be a great in

From 1850 to 1850 there was, practically. a
.stariff for revenue only" And under 1t,
prices obtained were entirely satisfactory to
free traders. although not SO satisfactory to
home manufacturers. But, under the pro-
tective principle, Jour industries and improved
machinery have so developed that prices that
were ruinous then are satisfactory now, and
even lower prices return fair profit. From
the excellent speech recently delivered by
Senator Frye, we take the following figures .
In 1870 shee.ings ruled at 81 cents per yard ;
In 1881, instead Of being advanced by the
baneful influence of protection. the market
price was still the same. In 1881 rails were
worth S4s per ton, as they were in 1850, and
during the nineteen years protection had
caused in rails decline Of five cents per 100
weight, from $3.50 to $685.. In the same
period mems ribbed socks fell from $500 per
dozen to $3.50; ladies' ribbed hose from q. %
to $500; the cheapest. Comic blankets from
sl.s7A 10 Sl.75: Moscow beavers, all wool,
from $4.O0 10 $500, the same articles, with
cotton warp, from sl.35 to sI.00; standard
sheetipgs from $40 to cents; standard
drilliugs from 1910 TO cents; bleached
shirtings from l2A to 12i cents; printed cali
Goes from liz to Ia cents; aud printing
cloths from 4 10 to cents per yard. In the
face of figures like these (says the Pbiladel-
phia .4mericdn), confirmed by the experience
of every consumer among us, who, but the
reckless advocates OF the free-trade doctrine
of false assumptions, could deny that pro-
lection to American manufacturing industry,

L0NGrELL0w DEAD.

BosToN. March 24.-Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow is dead Saturday last Longfel-
low was out part of the forenoon, walking
upon the piazza, and going into the house
complained OF being slightly cold. At din
ner he was suddenly taken i'll, and soon af.
ter went to his room and in short time had
violent attack OF vertigo. On sunday he
complained of severe pains in the stomach,
| and opiates were administered to aliay the
trouble and produce sleep. His condition
seemed somewhat improved until Monday,
when dangerous symptoms were noticed,
and the family were alarmed. Tuesday
morning these symptoms assumed an az
gravated form, and it became evident death
was near. Wednesday and Thursday, how
ever. there was 4 slight Improvement, and
disposition to sleep almost continually.
During the afternoon and evening OF Thurs
day he talked a great deal on various topics,
and seemed TO recover large portion of his
usual bright aud cheerful disposition. Later
Ia the night he became partially unconscious
and restless. This morning he revived
though his talk was somewhat incOherent.
This condition continued till about an hour
before his death. when he again become un-
conscious and so continued till the last, a
little past three O'Clock. suffering but little
pain, apparently. The immediate cause Of
death WAS peritonita. All the family were
present at the time OF dissolution.
The people OF Cambridge were appraised
of his death by the bells tolling his age. -

Lougfellow has not been in good health
since the death of his intimate friend, Prof.

him, and from it he never fully recovered.
For nearly two years afterwards his health
was source Of anxiety. He was unable
iurng that time to enjoy his food, owing to
impaired digestion, and lived entirely Oh

should the state convention be based upon

About half the number would fall on the

liyim; on the line. This fall we are TO choose
four new members, and before these take
their seats In Congress, the legislature will
have made the new districts. Ii the state
convention should nominate two Of the new
congressman from east Of tine above line,
aud two west, the situation would be about
THU: Three districts in the eastern part OF
tie state would have four members OF Con-
gross, with the fifth living on the line, while
three districts In the west would be repre-
scented by tive members Of Congress. While
1t is true, n congressman chosen at large
would not, in fact, belong 10 any district.
yet il would be rather novel sight to see
four members in the east. residing in two
districts, while two in the west residing in
three districts. But it is the central and
western parts Of the state that are filling up,
and hence Anderson should be given TO the
east and the four new members located west
OF him. The delegates west OF the above
line, in the state convention, will have the
votes to locate the four new congressman as
above suggested, and in order that zach dis
trict, after they shall have been formed, may
have its own representative this should be
done.-K eP2erson Independent.

RAT HOLES AND SIGH.

GYPSUM TOWNSHIP, March %, 1882.
To The Editor Of The Eagle:
notice in number of papers, as also in
the EAGLE of February 23d. what purports
to be an address Of Col. Ingersoll TO the farm.
ers of Illinois, in which the substance OF his
argument is contained in the following quo
tatious: .'You should remember, all freights
are paid by consumers" eff all the corn in
Illinois could be transported TO New York
free, it would enhance but little the price you
receive"
We farmers may not be able TO understand
how the universe is governed by centripefal
and centrifugal forces, or how shippers get
into cheese. We may not be able to tell the
exact amount of gold and silver in the world
and how much paper money could be fioated
at par. or TO pound sand in rat hole. But
there is not farmer between New York and
the Rocky Mountains but knows if the rail
roads would transport his corn to New York
free, he would ''stick down in his sock'' just
the amount of the freights extra, and so dc
you know it, MIR. Editor. The railroads o
the country can say what the farmer may re
ceiye for his produce, but they cannot regu
late the markets of the world. Ii tina
speech is the extent Of Col. Ingersoiis infor
nation on transportation, he'd better giv'
us 4 rest, and go TO lecturing on the protect
i've tariff.

EAST vs.. WEST.

The Wichita EAGLE is the author Of a fu-
ror over proposition to select the four Con-
yressmen at large fro that portion Of the
State which lies west of line drawn north
and south through Topeka.
The argument in favor OF the proposition
runs in this wise: The portion OF the State
east Of this line has every State and national
officer in the State. The country west Of
that line has the largest population, hence
Just what they want. Why should they not
take the four extra Congressman:
Ii is true that the extreme eastern counties
Of Kansas have had, heretofore. an undue
proportion OF political spois 1t is also true
that the counties in the territory west Of the
] line indicated could control State conyen-
ton, II that territory could be consolidated.
But it seems to us that that little i just
what spois the beauty OF the whole plan
proposed.
Ii would be fooiishness for 4 few of the
counties in this western half Of the State to
90 into n State convention upon such plat
form. To effect any thing, the whole must
be u unit. Can this union be effected.
In the fret place the territory described is
Jas by 300 miles. There are many jealousies
and striies within these limits that would
prove serious hindrance to an alliance suf-
fciently strong to make 4 warfare upon the
eastern counties election.
Again, the A. IT. d s. +. and the X. L. rail-
rcads run through the entire length OF this
country. We presume no one viii deny that
these corporations will own their usual num-
her Of delegates in a convention. Will these
two companies join hands for the purpose OF
crushing the political power Of Eastern Kan
sss.
| Morec yer, the proposed plan of operating
Ia the State convention is no; above reproach,
4. .. injiscriminate trading.
We believe the end in view to be good
one, but, notwithstanding the plan origin
ates with the shrewd politicians, We do not
believe the means proposed are either wise
| or practical. Better reserve our strength
for other struggles than in creating bitter
strife in the Republican party of the State
svmner Countg Press.
The trouble il now We have already re.
served our strength TOO long, SO long that il
is difficult matter 10 hold il together for any
iaudable effort.
