Presentation to the Queen.

/ don't suppose n lady or gentleman
out of 5000 in England ever dreams of
being presented TO the queen. Ii is, Of
course, quite proper TO the whole 5000
to do 80. But it is quite unnecessary.
Some people think that by being pre-
sented AT court they get invited to state
balls and concerts and to entertainments
given by the Prince Of Wales. There is
a great mistake in regard to this. Here
is where the error is. No one can be in
vited 10 a state entertainment unless he
or she has been presented at court. Pre-
sentation is a sine qua non. But 1t is not
the only thing necessary. There are
other considerations which have to be
taken into account. | don't fancy that
more than one person out Of 100 who arr
presented at court eve gets an invitation
10 a state ball or concert at Buckingham
palace, or 10 a Prince of Wales garden
party at Marlborough house.
The other ninety-nine might have been
presented, so far us being asked to state
entertainments Is concerned. For Ameri-
can ladies or gentlemen to rush over to
England and spend a lot Of money on
court dresses, in the hope that the day
after the drawing room they will be
asked TO dinner with the queen, or to
luncheon with the Prince Of Wales, is a
fondly cherished delusion from which
time will soon awaken them. Prescnta.
ton has grown SO common in these days

How Big Bells Are Rung.

The twelve bells Of st. Paul's cathedral
in London are said to he the grandest
ringing peal in the world. II isa matter
Of pride with tho English that they al
ways swing their bells instead Of merely
swinging the clappers after tie fashion
prevailing in Russia and other parts Of
continental Europe. The BriUon swings
even his largest bells in the good, old
fashioned way, and IL is quite an under
taking TO swing the sixteen ton "Great
Paul" which, with It's fiye-ton brother,
supplements the noble peal on the grand
est Protestant cathedral in the world.
On the day Gen. Garfield's body was car
ried 70 the grave, the writer stood in tho
square in front Of 81. Paul's, and heard
these chimes peal in honor Of the dead
president. Dense crowds filed the neigh
boring streets, and the adjacent windows
and housetops were black with humanity.
All London was there 10 listen 10 the.
mournful requiem Of the bells. IL wasa
solemn spectacle when, Us a stranger in

thousands of Englishmen thus doing
honor 10 the noble dead. II was an evil

ton and brotherhood which one who

Ecuador and Its Capital.

is built Of pine from Maine and CORFU

Gunyaquil steamers were built In Balti-
more. Ice factories abound; fresh water
Is brought twenty miles and peddled in
casks. The finest pineapples in the
world come from this country, and ex.

Panama hats we wear which are genuine
are made in Guayaquil. II is 800 miles

II takes tw~enty-four men in two divis-

Written for the Eagle.
NO ROOM.

With book and pen I've labored long,
And wept and prayed with yearning strong
And borne the cross of care and pain,
For by this means / hoped to gain
Some soul to worship Christ, my king,
Fair flowers for Heavens garnering.
At last worn out with anxious thought
A brief respite from care l sought.
Mid pleasant fields, and untrodden ways
Among the loved of other days,
Surprised to find the world as fair,
As before | bore the cross of care.
One day journeyed through the wood
To where house Of worship stood
Embowered mid trees of foliage green;
A more peaceful spot was never seen,
Yet my heart was burdened, even there
| bore the cross of anxious care.
Just verging into womanhood,
Close by the organ some maidens stood,
Their voices raised IN accents sweet,
While soft and low the words repeat,
:'No room. no room for the cross in Heaven. ,
''No room for the CROSSE" my sad heart
cried
No room for the cross in those mansions
wide"
If that be true, gladly III bear
The cross of love, the cross of care,
Blest by those for whom I've striven,
And rejoice that there'u be mo cross il
Heaven"

The Democratic state central commit
tee at their meeting at Leavenworth last
week adopted the subjoined resolution
with whOop and hurrah:
The Democratic state central commit
tee of Kansas endorse without reserve the
administration of President Cleveland
His course has been manly, wise, Just and
patriotic. They commend TO the approba-
ton of all citizens, his efforts to remove
abuses, to restore economy, to revive rev.
erend respect for the constitution. to re-
duce taxation, to reform the toriff, to re-
move sectional animositieS to guard the
treasury against unWarranted appropria-
tons of the public money, and to restore
the simple method of government prac-
ticed by the fathers. The debt which the
people owe him is so great as to impera-
lively demand his denomination and re-
election"
Such expression was to be expected;
indeed it would have been a matter of
great surprise if some such expression
had not been made, in view of the fact
that the committee is composed largely
of benefciaries of the presidential favors.
OF course the state conventions will echo
the same sentiments from a like inSpira-
ton, but that is all the good they can do.
When it comes to choosing a successor
to Dir. Cleveland at the polls the voice of
Kansas will be overwhelmingly for the
statesman the National Republican Con-
vention at Chicago shall name.

NOT READY YET.

It has been claimed in advocacy of
the admission of Utah into the Union as
a state that the Mormons had abandoned
or pledged themselves to abandon their
polygamous doctrines and were now in
hearty sympathy with American laws
and institutions. They have insisted
that while at one time the Mormon
church was q hierarchy in conflict with
the spirit Of American institutions, that
now it was in entire sympathy with
them, and was disposed to conform to
American laws and social customs. But
the recent conference Of the leading
men OF the church at Salt Lake City
shows that the same old spirit of defiance
still prevails. The prominent members
of the conference who hold high posi-
tons in the church express the
same sentiments of violation of law
and of the superiority and bind
ing effect or their own church laws, that
have been heard at any time during the
last quarter of a century. They reaffirm
their belief in the doctrine of the celes-
tial marriage, and claim that it is as
binding upon them as any other articles
of their faith. The whole tone of their
discussion was calculated to encourage
polygamcus MormonS in their course of
contempt for law, and strengthen their
opposition to the established laws of the
government. With that kind of feeling
prevailing among the leaders what can
be expected of the rank and file? 1t is
vera plain that Utah is not yet in any
condition to be admitted to the Union
The Federal authorities have still a
great work to do before they have rooted
out the last vestige Of the barbarous
practices of that territory. As long as
the leading men Of the church talk de-
fiance of law, there is little use to talk
about the admission of a territory that
is dominated by that church.

When the Abilene Gazette first began
to talk about the removal of the state
capital the subject was treated as Joke,
made TO order for the special worr; ment
of Editor Tomlinson, of the Topeka
Democrat, for reesons not necessary TO

mering away at the proposition until it
seems to have infused the removal spirit
into others. The local papers have unit
ed in the scheme and all, without regard
10 party or politics. have united and are
publishing a call for a state convention
to be holden in Abilene on the eth inst,
IN the interest of removal. The papers
also publish number of letters and 9TH
er expressions of citizens in the central
and western parts of the state. favoring
the scheme. Our notion is that the
thing is wholly impracticable at this
time, II II ever shall be; but it will serve
as very clever advertising scheme for

FOR SALE.

The Ottawa Republican devotes con-
siderable time and space to the operation
of mailing to the cross a fellow who
writes letter ''back east declaring that
everything in and around Ottawa is
adorned with board bearing the 'For
Sale"
1t seems to us that this fellows re-
proach is really the glory of Kansas. 1t
is a country where property is being
sold, and, consequently being bought.
1t may be well believed that a country
where nothing is for sale, is a dull
country, stupid country, played-out
country, a dog fennel country, which
ought to be fenced up and whitewashed.
All growing countries are ''for sale" a
town that is growing right along is full
of houses for sale. Men build houses
for sale; and buy lots to sell them again.
In the old towns of wayback,
in the east, there are no houses
for sale There is nothing for sale ex-
ceyt few lots in the cemetery. The
old people live in the house their fathers
built. and which have never been sold.
They take pride in saying that the old
house stands on land which their great
grandfather bought of an Indian for a
quart of rum, and has never passed out
of the hands of their family. That is
what old Grandfather Lickshingle says,
as he stands around solitary, his sons
and grandsons having gSne out to Kan
sas where they buy and sell houses, lots,
lands and improved and unimproved
property.
Yes, all Kansas is, and will be for
some years, for sale. 1t is new coun-
try yet, and has not reached the age
when any pride Is lent in its antiquity.
\ Kansas man does not take pride in
telling you how old his house is, but
now new it is He tells you. with great
glee that this is the fourth house he has
built, since he came TO town, and that
he sold all the others at good advance.
and perhaps you would like TO make him
trade for this one.
Because Kansas is "For Sale"
country, 1t is the country to come TO. II
man could buy nothing after he
reached here he had as well stay at
Wayback. or Sieepersville. or Messy
Ridge. in the somnolent east. The
beauty of Kansas, and the richness
thereof. and likewise the prospect, can
be acquired in lots to suit purchasers.
The state is not quite full vet. Ii is not
which nobody could join unless there
was a vacancy. There are few choice
millions of acres out of ffty-two mil
lions which can be got. \ young man
/. is not obliged 10 wait Till his father dies

Soon night shuts out the scene. The
morning dawns bright and beautiful and
the grand scenery of the Columbia bursts

rolling down between rugged pine-clad
field. there a wooded copSe and beyond a
into a rock tunnel; then through patch
of tall timber and again across a green
wheat field Beside the stream stands
the fishers log cabin and there are his
big logs of irewood-familiar sights 10
early settlers in the east. Ihis
is the country where one
can learn how rivers are made. From
out the moss and fern clad sides OF the
mountains, leap tiny rivulets and mini
allure cascades of bright living water
which leap chamois-hke from crag to
crag, gaining IN strength at every
touchdown. down, down, splashing,
turning, foaming, from the place or Its
birth down TO the river bed and there
you find a broad stream and the fisher
men casting their nets. Follow It fur
Their. after it has gathered the waters OF
thousand rills, and you lind mighty
river, that had its birth far up IN the
glacier-locked canons, draining coun-
try larger than the state of Massachu-
sets. Then if you would know its
destiny, follow it TO where it pours Its
mighty volume into the immense Pa
cific.
As we approach Portland the valley
begins to widen, the pines and cedars
are higher and mightier and then the
face of nature softens into grand green
meadows, great wheat fields. farms,
orchards, pastures and then Portland,
and a very handsome city it is. The

miles, was made at night, so | cannot

In the Woman's council in session at
Washington last week Mrs. Isabella
Beecher Hooker delivered an address
upon woman suffrage in which she as
serted that the trainers of the constitu-
ton of the United States By the use of
the words 1.-THE people everywhere in
that document showed that it was their
intention to place women on a perfect
equality with men. If Mrs. Hooker
meant to assert that the trainers of the
constitution had any idea of establishing
woman suffrage as a result of the work
they had set themselves to do, she must
be woefully ignorant of the history of
that time, and also of the nature of the
laws by which suffrage of this country is
regulated. 1t is altogether unlikely that
the idea of dealing with such question
ever entered the head of single MEM
Der of the convention. No such an issue
was at that time agitating the public
mind, and no precedent for scch a doc
trine existed. There is absolutely no
foundation for such an assertion. and
that it should be made in an address be-
fore an assembly composed of such emf
neHt and intelligent women as is this
convention, is abSurdly strange.
