HARPER. Oci 70.
To the Editor OF the EAGLE.
Ii is pleasant TO describe town that
has shown so much push and vitality
as this bright and thriving city, and
besides, we know of no place in all OF
Southern Kansas that can boast of a
better class of business men CT more
socially inclined people than can be
found here. when the Southern Kan
sas road pulled away irom Harper n
little over year ago, and cs-
tablished new towr, Attica, some
fourteen miles west. and made il the
terminus. The question arose, what
will be its effect upon Harper. Many
prophesied that she would loose half
of her trade. and corresponding de-
crease in the value of property But
they were mistaken, The town still
continues TO grow, and became, if any
thing, better than it was before the
railroad left il. Later on new dan
ger threatened il. of almost the
same nature, when the Fort Scott

DISCOVERED THEIR MISTAKE

voted for lIoadly in lie belief hat his
old Republican an;occdcnts and his
well known personal integrity would
give the state reform administration.
Thousands of Republicans were will
Ing to try the experiment Of putting
such man in office. The result on
Tuesday last would indicate that they
are entirely satisfied with this expert
meLt and that they regard il as Il fall

Gated from the Institutions made
against him in 1888. an.I stands Leiore

WASHINGTON, January S.-The statistics
Of the calendar year, now being collected,
confirm the expectation of the Postotice
Department concerning the effects of the
reduction Of letter postage, and indicate
that the service win soon again be on a
paying basis. The statistics for
the last three months Of 1884,
more than any which have preceded
them, win show the actual results of the
change, and these will show that the re-
duction from three to two cents has caused
a very perceptible and important abandon
ment of the use of postal cards, and has
also caused the almost universal use
of the two-cent stamp and closed
envelopes instead of the one-cent
stamps and open circulars. These two inn
Portant and extensive changes go far to
compensate for the loss of the revenue by
the reduction of rates, and exceed the
expectations of tho department. The
only subject of regret TO the officials is
that the reduced rates, while still in
an experimental stage, should suffer
from the effects of the business depres-
sion, which always makes itself very ap-
parent in the quantity of matter carried in
the mails. The allowance for this can not
be estimated even approximately, but in
spite of it the showing has been eminently
satisfactory, and proved the wisdom of the
reduction of postal rates.

The Lesson by which Bob Was Cured Of
His One Great Fault.

The Lesson by which Bob Was Cured Of
His One Great Fault.
Bob had one great fault, which
grieved his father and mother very
much. If asked to 90 anything he said:
In a minute and then forgot. Il
he was going anywhere he was never
ready at the proper time. His mother
often talked to him about this, but it
did little good.
AG last she said " The next time
you are not ready to 20 with me 1 shall
20 without you" This made him care
fUl for a long time.
His father and mother began 10 hope
he had improved; bat one day a 5ad
thing happened 1t was Thanksgiving
Day. Bob was going with his father
and mother to spend the day with his
grandmother ltwas quite a long drive
TO her house; but 1t never seemed dong
to Bob, particularly if there was snow
on the ground N HH
This year there had been no snow
until the day before Thanksgiving.
Then it showed all day, and all night,
too The next morning the snow was
several inches deep. Bob begged his
mother to let him go out and play o
little while before getting ready to 90
with her He promised to come in as
soon as she called.
Bob had great fun tumbling about in
the snow When his mother called he
had Just begun to make a snow-house.
He said: " In a minute" and went on
with his play. At last he remembered
that his mother had called him. He
threw down the shovel and ran in.
Bob found no one in the house but
Sarah, the maid. His father and moth
er had gone without him. Poor little
Bob! The tears would come, in spite
of himself The time passed very slow
ly. He had no heart to play, but sat by
the fire, thinking of the Jolly times they
would have at grandma all the
uncles, aunts and cousins-everybOd
but himself! And then the dinner!
Bob's heart was nearly broken when he
thought of the dinner.
Suddenly some one called him. 1t
was Edward, the coachman. He had
come for him with grandma s horse and
cutter.
Come" he said; "your grandma
begged for you and your father has
sent me for you. Hurry! guess Wen
be in time for dinner" "
Bob was ready in less time than one
can think. The horse seemed to fly.
They arrived Just as dinner was ready.
Everybody was glad to see him. He
never needed another lesson. ~ orr lit

Internal Commerce Statistics

WASHINGTON, January 7.--Mr. Nimmo,
Chief of the Bureau Of Statistics, to-day
handed mis- annual report Of internal COM
merce 10 the Secretary of the Treasury The
average rate of freight charged on the rail-
roads of the United States during
1883 was less than half the average rate
charged in 1865, and in tho meantime
there was an enormous increase in
the volume Of traffic. A considerable part
of the report is devoted to the subject of
pooling, which Nimmo regards as the expe-
dient to which railroad companies had re-
course, not willingly, but of necessity, in
order to protect themselves against the
ruinous effects of war rates, and also to pro-
tect themselves against popular indigna-
tion caused by the evils of secret rates to
individual shippers.

FOREIGN RELATIONS.
Report Of the President Of the South
American Commission.
What is Found Necessary % closer Roin-
dons with the Central and South
American states.

NEW YoRK, January 8.-'rhe Commission
to- the Central and South American States
has presented It's report TO the President 10
recites the emnnner i'm which it performed
its duties. In order 20 secure more ,inH-
mate commercial relations between tho
United States and the several countries Of
Central and South America, the Com
mission finds there must be: First, reg
ular direct steam communication; second,
commercial treaties and reciprocal conces-
sions ana tariff duties; third, simpli6cation
and modification Of customs regulations in
Central and South American countries;
fourth, increase and improvement Of the
consular service; fifth, establishment Of
American mercantile houses in Central
South Americas sixth, more intimate
knowledge among American manufacturers
Of the wants Of the people OF Central
and South America; seventh, q system
Of banking connection and common
standard Of value; eighth more liberal
credits by our merchants: ninth, introduc.
tion of the bonded warehouse system into
these countries. With reference TO the
fourth proposition, the Commission says &C
has been urged with much force that they
recommend tho establishment Of a now
executive department Of the Government
similar to the Board of Trade of
England, with a member of the Cabinet for
it's head, TO which shall be committed the
care and arrangement of our foreign COM
morco. In this department might be con-
centrated all the powers of the Government
in watching, protecting and promoting the
commercial interests of the country in for
eign markets, an agency under whose
guidance and encouragement the great
commerce of Great Britain has grown up.
