The usual question, What you wantF was
asked and answered, and then the Chinaman,
after explaining that he saw nothing but only

that it was closely modelled after the Amer

MUGWUMPS AS FREE TRADERS.

To the Editor OF the Eagle:
The welfare of the country for many
years depends on the nomination which
the Republican party will make at the
next national convention. 1t is asserted
that the opposition of the mugwumps
forced James G. Blaine to withdraw his
name from the list of presidential aspir-
ants. These mugwumps are to a man
free traders, and will not support for the
presidency any man who advocates the
American principle of protection. This
doctrine of protection has been honored
by the bitterest hatred of the
English Tories, and their Amer
lean allies the mugwumps.
And no matter who may be nominated
by the party of protection. the mug

ENCAMPMENT AT STAFFORD.
To the Editor Of the Daily Eagle.

To the Editor Of the Daily Eagle.
Last Thursday night, March 1, an En-
campment of the order of l. o. o. F. was
instituted here. The ceremonies were
conducted by Messrs. Pryor and Skinner
of Wichita and Mr.. Boone of Avery,
Kan. The degrees were conferred on
some twenty-four members and the bad
weather kept some ten or fifteen away
which would have made a grand total of
about forty members. The sisters of
Rebecca served an elegant supper at IL
o'clock at night which was duly ap-
preciated by the hungry brothers.
Officers elect were: Chief Patriarch,
j. L. Jones; Warden, w. F. Mushon; j..
Warden, H. D. McQuade; High Priest,
Joel Reece; Stride, a. Peacock, and
treasurer, DIR. B. F. Jones. joel Reece
was elected deputy grand master and J..
L. Jones and j. Reece were elected as
representatives to grand encampment.
Everyone seemed to be highly pleased
with the manner in which MIR. Pryor
conducted the ceremonies.
Stafford is setting down for grand
old-fashioned boom in the spring. We
have two railroads. the Santa Fe and
Missouri Pacific, and are the only town
in the county having two railroads.
Our population doubled in 1887 and we
confidently expect it to do likewise In
1888.
Stafford was very fortunate last year
in having good crops. While her sister
cities all round Were complaining of hard
times and no crops she was shipping out
train loads of grain, live stock,
broom corn and large quantities of all
sorts of country products. OF course
we have a county seat contest on hand
as most ali counties have in this section
of Kansas. Our case is now in the
supreme court and we feel very sure Of
success. We feel very easy over the
matter as we can afford to take it very
philosophicaliy, If such a remote acci-
dent should happen that we should
finally be beaten in the contest, were are
in first class shape to stand it as we
have, as stated before, the only two
railroads in the country and are almost
dead sure of two more soon. Besides
we hold the finest county adjacent to
Stafford, and the most of it of any city
in this section of Kansas.
There is one thing we need sadly and
that is a good Touring mill. We are
sorry to be compelled to admit the fact
that there is not Touring mill in Stat
ford county. There is certainly no
better location in Kansas than our city
for establishing mill as there is not,
think "a more prosperous class of farmers
to be found anywhere than those sur
rounding this place.
We have one firm, Jones & Co., who
have been retailing two cars of flour per
month and of course they don't sell all
that is consumed. A man who could
show up his ability to do something
would be substantially encouraged by
the citizens here in establishing good
mill or any other enterprise that would
benefit our town, b.

A NEW CONVICTION.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
A schoolgirl said in my hearing the
other day: "Our teacher says she does
not believe in religious revival meetings
and if she had children they should not
go near them," and added: 81 think she
does not believe in God, for she says she
never goes to church." I thought what
dangerous influences for our children to
be under five or Six hours day during
the most impossible years Of their
lives. Having been teacher, I know
how much the opinions of the teacher
mould the character Of the child. No
one except the mother is SO
often quoted as authority up
on subjects under discussion
The true teacher who has the welfare of
her pupils at heart not only teaches what
she finds in the text books, but is also an
example worthy of their imitation
Emerson said to his daughter when asked
what she should study: ''Tell me who
your teacher is, care not so much for
the text books" Then came the thought:
Do the mothers of Wichita appreciate
the need of such teachers: can we have
such; are we ready to use all our influence
to secure them, even if it should be
something our mothers did not do? |
answered myself as follows: Response
bility begins with the holy name of
mother and enters into everything that
tends to mould that child life, so who
dare draw the line over which mother
may not go to save her child. Yes. /
think our mothers do partially appreciate
the need of some better teachers.
Yes, we can have them. Yes, we are
ready to take a short step forward even
though it be out of the beaten path of
old, and believe it not unmotherly to use
our hrains as we'll as our hearts TO help
devise means for a higher development
of our children and to do the duty that
our new opportunity places upon us to
help our brothers aud husbands select
the purest and best men who are to Sc
lect the teachers for our children.
] have never advocated the new suf-
frage movement, but as l see the great
tide of vice sweeping in upon US l am
compelled to say to my prejudices stand
back till the events of the new epoch de-
termine the wisdom the later thought
Loyalty to God, home. purity and tenn
perance place us of today in more re-
sponsible position than the mothers Of
any former generation, therefore we
cannot measure our duty bv theirs.
