Four years ago Mr.. Cleveland had
views-pretty pronounced ones, too-on
the silver question. In view of the re-
newed agitation out west and of the
recent utterances of leading Democrats
in the senate. it would be interesting to
know whether he has those views vet or
has discarded them for new ones--better
adapted to the meridian of St. Louis.
The supporters of Senator Allison of
Iowa, who is looming up as the probable
opponant of the president. and who has
very decided views on the subject. are
inclined TO press the question as much
as it is possible for them to do so. The
action of the St. Louis convention in its
platform construction will expose the
presidents Views, if it don't dodge the
question.

So far as ministers are concerned,
French politics, since the installation of
the third republic at Paris, has been
series of dissolving views. Twenty-Five
of them have come and gone, and we are
now at the twenty-third. Perhaps NJ.
Floquet may succeed where Gambetta
failed, but it isn't likely. The gulf that
divides the moderate Republicans of the
Ferry type from the radical Republicans
of the Clemenceau type has the look Of
being too deep to be filled up and too
wide to be bridged.

If there are any persons who really
expect that Mr.. Cleveland has it in mind
to decline the nomination for president
at the hands of his party, such expecta-
ton cannot help but be dispelled by such
statement of facts and reasoning as this
from the Atlanta Constitution. the lead
ing Democratic organ Of the south:
President Cleveland should not only
have the right to make his platform, but
to say who shall run with him as vice
president. Certainly no one who is willing
to tYust him TO outline the principles of
the party will object to his selecting his
own associate. The convention comes off
before the Republican convention. This
was done to please President Cleveland.
1t would make all the work of the national
Democratic committee in reference to this
call very foolish for him to decline to per-
nit the use of his name.

The Louisiana state election takes
place today. No great things are ex-
pected from that quarter by Republicans
for the reason that the party goes into
the closing contest heavily handicapped,
the opposition having full control of the
election. Anything favorable to the
Republican party that may result will
therefore, be all the more gratifying

Yesterday the state board Of charities
made their regular semi-occasional visit
TO the asylum for imbecile children at
Winfield. From one of the members of
the board we learn that they will recon-
mend that the legislature make an APP
preparation for the enlargement of the
building so that imbeciles of more
mature years may be accommodated
also. The institution now has accom-
mediation for only one hundred, and,
though it has been open less than one
year, there are eighty-two pupils in at
tendance and applications from enough
more to tax the institution to its fullest
capacity. Humanity demands that
larger and better accommodations for
the unfortunate of the state be provided
and we hope that ample appropriations
will be made for the enlargement OF the
institutions we now have, instead of es-
tablishing new ones. II is both wisdom
and economy TO do so.-Arkansas City

Allen G. Thurman is a Demo

The sturdy old veteran has ta-

accompanied the waving Of his red

A Confession.

Do you remember, little wifo,
How years ago we two together i
Saw nsught but love illumine life
In sunny days or winter weather.
Dn you recall in younger years
10 part day was bitter paint
Loves light was hid in couds of tears
Till meeting cleared the sky again.
Do you remember how VIC two
Would stare into each others eyes,
Till all the earth grew heavenly blue
And speech was lost in happy slghs'
Do yon another thing recall
That used to happen often then:
How, simple passing in the hall,
We'd stop to smile and kiss again'
Do you remember how sat
Aud, reading, held your hand in mine
Carsssins it with gentle pat
One pat for every blessed line!
Do you recall how at tho play
Through hours of agony we tarrled'
The lovers griefa brought us dlsmay;
Oh, we rcjoiced when they were mar
ricd.
And then walked hemeward arm in arr
Beneath tho crescent mconiet now
That smiled OIL us with silent charm;
So glad that we werc married too.
All me, twas years and years ago
When all this happened that sing
And many time the winter snow
Has slipped from olive slopes

Too Much Combining.

TOO MIcl COMBINING.
The outcry against trusts and
monopolies of all kinds has be-
come general throughout the coun'
try. Within the last three months
it has entered largely into the Ma
tional Campaign with its vehe-
mence and loud utterances, and
will no doubt show up as an i'm
portant factor in the final result
before the present struggle is en-
tirely over.
The people of the United States
have determined not to submit any
longer to combinations gotten up
Of selfish motives to crush out all
their natural rights and privileges
and to SO fictltiously enhance the
values of food and the ordinary
means of subsistence, that the
masses may at any time become
cornaed to the verge Of starvation
ssy the specaations Of the monied
powers existing in the CONNER
cial centres Of the country; and it
is thus
Blower like desolating psstilencs,
PoIlntes what FER it touches; aud obed'-

Bane of all genius, virtue, freedom

Makca alayes of man, and the human
frame,
A mechanical ausomaton."
The monstrous nat and ten
dency Of trusts and monopolies OF
all kinds have been fully discuss
ed of late on the political stumps
of the States, and their erormities
present and prospective, have
heen echoed along the halls o.
Congress by the. best and bright

it is scarcely necessary for a coun
try paper to attempt, or even hop
to assist in strangling the moniet
monster, that SO often threaten
the commercial equilibrium OF TIL

Madden chain mower of which an account
was given in yesterdays EAGLE were at
work all day yesterday in Sites Bros. oat
field on East. Central avenue. y very
large number of citizens visited the field
and witnessed the machines at work. a
remarkable circumstance, as reported by a
gentleman who was present, is that dur
ing the entire day the binder did not fail
to properly bind single bundle. By re-
quest of some of our citizens who have be
come deeply interested in this enterprise,
the machines will remain and be at work
all day today in the same field that they
were in yesterday.
A representative of the EAGLE
was today shown
plans of the buildings to be erected for the
proposed factory IN this city. They will
be FIVE in number. all of brick or stone,
and of the following dimensions The
machine shop, one story. will be s0x30o
feet. The engine house attached, one
story. will be 20x29 feet. The blacksmith
shop, one story, 29x49 feet. The foundry is
to be S0x160 feet. The warehouse, two
stories, will be 50x300 feet. The site will
require about five acres of ground TO allow
for other buildings not TO be erected in the
inauguration of the business. Mr.. South
erland, the president of the company, is
expected 10 arrive in the city this week.

NOT STOLEN.

Yesterday afternoon Il woman very
much excited came to the station and
asked the assistance of the police in find
ing a little boy, Harry Ashland, who had
disappeared very suddenly from the Com
mercial hotel. In making statement of
her case she said that she was the boy
mother and had been staying for the
past three or four weeks at the CONNER
cial, on West Douglas. She said that she
feared her child had been taken away by
his father from whom she had for some
time been separated. What led her 10 this
belief was the fact that be had been en-
deavoring to get possession of the little
one and that he and his friends are now in
the city for that purpose.
She, as well as the officers and several
persons at the hotel commenced the search,
and as the time passed and the child was
was not found they were joined by others,
and soon there was quite a party on the
the lookout. AT last the little fellow was
found quietly sitting in yard q short
distance from the hotel, apparently per-
fectly contented and entirely unconscious
of the rumpus he had kicked up.
