BUT BoTKIN woNr BE THERE.

This is the day for the regular quarter
ly meeting at the First Methodist Episco-
pal church in this city. These meetings
occur four times year, and are as old as
Methodism itself. They are gracious oc-
casions. The old time Love Feast is held
in the morning and the Lords supper is
commerated and vows are renewed. The
presiding elder conducts the solemn SER
vices and the regular pastor and all the
local deacons go forward to place with
in the altar. Touching experiences are
told in which the trials and burthens of
this life are all forgotten in the hopes Of
bright and blessed Immortality beyond
the skies. Tears glisten on the aged
cheeks Of the mothers and fathers IN
Israel no less than in the bright and
hopeful eye of the innocent and trusting
and the season of refreshing comes from
the presence of the Lord when even sin
ners often feel that it is good to be there,
feel the softening influences of the touch
ings of the finger of the Infinite upon the
spirits of his worshiping children
1t is the holy Office of the
presiding elder to direct and
encourage with his words and his exalt-
ed presence. But Botkin won't be there.
The regular pastor, in his announce
ments last Sunday, said: Brother q
Botkin will not be able to be present."
Of course not. He is off somewhere
whooping up votes for himself and
"Thank God" Brooks. OF what value
are immortal souls, what consequence
the cause of Christ, as weighed against
the personal itchings and political ambi-
tons of Botkin and Brooks? So the dis
cipline must go unread, the communion
unadministered and vows broken and
obligations trampled into the dust, only
that Botkin may be inflated by the cheer
of some crew of cranks, many Of whom
hold that Christ committed sin in con-
verting water into wine.
Botkin won't be there today. True
men and women will be there, however,
who will be all the happier for the alb
sence of one whose presence and and ad-
would only have reminded
them of the fellow who stood up and
prayed that he might be seen and heard
Of men. But Botkin won't be there.
And there will be another meeting, not
a quarterly meeting, but meeting In
the state house next January. The beau
ty and brains, the pride and patriotism
of Kansas Will have assembled and a
governor will be inaugurated, but Bot
kin won't be there.
And there will be another meeting,
the greatest meeting of all. 1t will be
called by Gabriel's trump, trump that
shall wake the very dead, but Botkin
won't be there. He will be even too |
lead for Gabriel's trump, dead politically |
and dead spiritually, if not dead in tres
pass and sin.
Let us pray that Botkin may even yet
repent and turn from his downward
course which leads to that place pre-
pared for st. John and Brooks and a
lost-a small host-of others.

One of the most desired among the
''Story of the Nations, published by q.
P. Putnam's Sons, New York, and the
book that will be most assiduously
sought after is the STORY of Turkey by
Stanley Lane-Poole. 1t is fact. not
singular, however, that the historiograph-
ers have almost totally neglected Turkey.
With the present work, however, many
wants will be supplied. while it may not
be as exhaustive as some might wish,
vet it gives very good idea of the his
tory of that country. The work contains
some old cuts, besides the many other
illustrations, which are interesting.

Reports of sore distress in portions of
Dakota are already coming from that

before the setting in of winter what
must the suffering of the people and live
stock be before the winter is past! 1t
would certainly be mercy to the un
fortunates who are thus conditioned to
remove them to localities where the
weather is less rigorous and supplies
more easily obtainable. 1t is strange
that people will go into such uninviting
quarters, when homes can be just as
easily secured in sections that are not
subject to such disastrous visitations and

Two more of this delightful series are
to hand. ''Undine" and ''Sinstram and
His Companions" and the "Rose and the
Ring" The first, that delightful story
by Baron de la Motto Fouque, dressed up
in tasty suit, comes to join and rival the
many editions of itself. A London COM
pany bowed low to the little sovereign
and put out an elaborate edition with
still more elaborate illustrations;
French publishers have been not one
whit behind in displaying the little book
to the best advantage and bring JOY to
the biblophile. And yet the volume in
question is not vain in its emulations.
In fact, our copy was lead off captive
by Charles Gleed, one of the most ardent
admirers of books in the state.
The regulation size of the volume of
this series fits Thackeray's 1.-THE Rose
and the Ring to nicely. That is, the
diminutiveness harmonizes perfectly
with the nature and the length of the
work. 1.-THE Rose and the Ring" loses
largely of its beauty and interest if it is
sandwiched in between ''Vanity Fair"
and ''Henry Esmond" in pom
derous volume. Like the tabled Cax-

The wage earners of the one state Of
Massachusetts have been able to save
out of their earnings, and deposit in
savings banks, for use on rainy days,
more money than have all of the wage
earners of Great Britain and Ireland to-
gether. They have done this, too, under
a protective tariff. This one fact is the
whole protective idea in nutshell, and
is of more practical value as an argu-
ment in political economy than all the
theories in the world. Give it to the
first revenue reformer who wants to
argue his case with you. He can't get
over it if he talks all day, and you need
to add nothing to it, unless you say that
General Harrison not only represents
this brand Of protection, but that he
also represents the best mind, manner
and manhood of American life.

DUTIES REDUCED BY REPUBLICANS
Articles Not Produced in America Put
on the Free List.


Boston Journal.
One of the Democratic party's favorite
modes of attempting to impose on the
uniformed voters Is to assert that our
present tariff is a ''war" tariff and that
the Republicans have never consented
and meyer will consent to change 1t.
How false these assertions are the Nashua
New Hampshire Telegraph very neatly
shows in this compact statement OF some
of the tariff changes for which the Re-
publican party is responsible:
The Republican party reduced the duty
on steel rails from S2S to ST..
The Republican party abolished the
duty on coffee.
The Republican party abolished the
duty on tea.
The Republican party abolished the
duty on hides
The Republican party abolished the
duty on camphor.
The Republican party abolished the
duty on indigo.
The Republican party abolished the
duty on maccaroni.
The Republican party abolished the
duty on nutmegs-
The Republican party abolished the
duty on bleaching powders
The Republican party put sago On the
free list.
The Republican party put shellac ON
the free list.
The Republican party put raw silk on
the free list
The Republican party put TN bars On
the free list.
The Republican party abolished the
duty on anthracite coal and reduced the
duty on bituminous coal from Sl.2o TO 40
cents per ton.
These are some of the things which
the Bourbon shriekers about the war
tariff" never refer to-

DOWN IN NEW YORK.

A prominent kansan who went down
east short time since, in a private letter
to the editor of the EAGLE says touching
the political situation:
The news from New York and Con-
necticut is absolutely cheering. The
fact is that the Democrats have already
spent nearly two millions of dollars to
turn the tide in New York and have
almost given up in dispair of even hold
ing their own party together. They have
effected nothing and are out of funds,
while an immense amount of Doodle for
election day is being demanded by the
strikers. There is not the least chance
for the Democracy TO carry the state.
while it is the deliberate Judgment OF
Republicans here that Harrison will not
only carry every northern state but also
West Virginia and North Carolina.
Our dispatches of yesterday plainly
bear out the conclusions and declarations
of the above extract.

If for any reason a Republican finds
upon his party ticket the name of an in
dividual candidate whom he cannot sup
port without violence TO his conscience,
let him quietly omit such an one and
vote the balance of the ticket. 1t is
surely enough, by this means, to give the
opposition half vote. For your own
sake and your party's don't go trading
off personally Objectionable candidate
of your own party, if there be such, for
IN avowed political enemy. Remember
your party principles are involved and
no sort of compromise can be made hon
orally. Don't do it.

The Beacon, our esteemed cotempo-
rary, says the people are asked to choose
between Cleveland and Blaine. We
guess not. They were asked to do that
thing four years ago and there is no more
doubt that Blaine was really elected than
that the sun shines today. He carried
New York by thousands of votes, but
unfortunately for the people who voted
for Blaine that pivotal state was in the
hands of the man who was running
against Blaine, and after it had been an
nounced for three days in succession
that Blaine was elected the returns were
cooked and recocked until the state
showed a plurality in Cleveland's favor
of meager six hundred votes. In that
state this year the Democrats are quar-
reling among themselves and watching
each other so that the chances are that
Harrison will get his dues, which will
give him the state.

For the Eagle,
ENCHANTMENT.

Filled with Loves intoxication,
All enraptured by your kisses,
Folded on my mouth in glory,
l drink in the endless blisses.
Wistful parted lips were waiting,
Thirsty for life's ruby wine,
When your hand with loves own measure
Gave it, sparkling and sublime.
Conscious 1, of strange enchantment.
With the life in loves bright land,
And my pulses throb with pleasure,
At the touching of your hand.
Swift and strong through all my being,
Rushes life's impassioned tide;

Happy only by thy side.

General Logan, referring to the Demo

these young men in the north will rally

Perhaps the most peculiar feature of
the prevalent yellow fever epidemic in
the south is its attack upon the colored
people. Heretofore that race have had
comparative immunity from the disease,
but recently have suffered more from it
than the whites. The latest reports from
the infected districts show the plague
somewhat abated in its virulence, but
little if any in its spread. The number
of new cases reported is not SO large as
two weeks ago, but the proportion to
the number of people remaining, is fully
as great. The appearance of frost is the
only hope of relief, and its appearance
has been delayed beyond the period
hoped for. Edison ought to put his
newly discovered remedies and proven
tives to practical test. He will never
have better opportunity.

reduction and make great, whopping,
