For secretary of the state board of agri-
culture Farmer Doolittle' of Wichita. a
grand old agriculturist and loyal and eX-
emplary citizens.-kansas City Times
No more fitting nomination for that
important position could be made by the
Times or any one else. The Times esti-
mate of the moral worth of our fellow
citizen is wholly correct as far as it goes.
but 1t might have added that Farmer
Doohttle Is fully capacitated to perform
the duties of the position in Il most IN
telligent and accurate manner. and that
no man would take deeper interest in the
work or greater pride in presenting to
the public at stated periods a showing of
the states agricultural interests in a
manner that would reflect the greatest
credit to the entire commonwealth. The
EAGLE cordially, aye, heartily seconds
the Times nomination and moves the
previous question.

The death list of noted men in this
country for 1881, while not as large in
number, and does not contain the names
of as eminent perSOnageS as the previous
year and some Others, it is yet not with
out its shining marks in almost every
department of human endeavor. The
church furnishes us with Bishops Harris
and Potter, Nicar-General Qninn and the
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher. The bench
lost Judge Carter, chief justice of the
supreme court of the District of Column
bia, an old Ohio man, and also Justice
Woods, OF the United States supreme
court. In the dramatic profession John
T. Raymond, and, in music, Jenny Lind,
are conspicuous deaths. In political
circles ex-Secretary Manning heads the
list, followed by three governors-Bart-
lett of California: Bodwell, of
Maine. and Marmaduke, of Missouri En-
Vice President Wheeler and Ex-Governor
Washburn are also among the years
dead. The armies of the world have
been singulariy free from the loss of
soldiers of prominence. General Hazen.
of the United States, and Baker. pasha
of the Turkish army, being all that occur
to us, while the death of Commodore
Nicholson is the only prominent one in
naval circles.

The st. Louis Republican tauntingly
remarks that Mr.. Samuel j. Bandal,
and the New York Sun seem to be full of
noble purpose to go off by themselves
and form Democratic party of their
own" Less probable occurrences have
taken place, and We may be permitted
to suggest tnat it will be a sorry day for
the Democratic party, as now consti-
tuted, when Mr.. Randall's sense of self
respect and a proper regard for con-
sistency shall prompt him To Withdraw

A CORRECTION.

oPlN tl, Man, Jan. :. 1885,
To the Editor OF the Eagle,
In my answer to the article you clipped
from the Inter-Ocean. published De
Cember 30. you put me in a false posi-
ton. Your compositor makes me say
that the Inter-Ocean stated that wheat
III any western state was never worth
more than Sl.29 per bushel. and then
makes me say that | knew of wheat be-
ing sold for 50 per bushel at Bunker
Hill. Illinois. in 1855. Now. the Inter
Ocean. as quoted by you. stated that
wheat prior TO 1860 was never worth
more than S1.20 per busheI III any west
ern state. and l quoted it to You. and
then added that my father sold wheat
at Bunker Hill. Illinois, in June. 1850.
at s. per bushel, and | viii add all the
wheat then in the country was bought
at that price. FAIR PLAY.

Cardinal Manning in public address
delivered in London New Years day, is
credited with saying Every
man has a right to life and the
food necessary to sustain life.
So strict is this right that it pre-
walls over all rights Of property. Neces-
sity knows no law. 4 starving man
may steal his neighbor'5 bread The
statement is an axiom Of divine origin in
part, but while that is true, used in GER
tain connections it Is susceptible Of a
wrong Interpretation. Of course it is
meant only to meet extreme cases, like
the promise of salvation to the thief Oh
the cross; but it does not justify the ar
bitrary taking of food. even that may be
absolutely necessary TO the maintenance
of life, until every other expedient has
been tried and failed If rightly under
stood there is little in the statement to
give political theorists OF the George Nc
Glynn school any substantial encourage
ment, though the deposed priest has
quoted it publicly, and seems to lay
great stress upon its significance as ap-
plicable to our social condition.

Smoking Oh street Carr.

10 the Editor OF HE EVENING STAR:
desire to offer some suggestions In regard to
tobacco smoking on the street cars, which 1 have
been on the point OF Offering several times Let
me say, TO begin, that l Wage no war against to-
bacco, though think It is used to harmful ex-
tent by many. l smoke cigar occasionally and
do not object TO smoking In company with Others,
but Ike 10 choose My company and know the
quality OF the tobacco the smoke from which am
10 inhale. Therefore, object TO having all Sorts
OF persons, smoking all sorts OF tobacco, thrust
upon Inc when i have occasion to use the street
cars. AS well might such persons come into my
pdTlor ana without asking leave proceed " light
thelr cigars or cigarettes. The cars our travel
Ing parIorS- III hot, what are they? Nothing Often
slVe or impolite ought 10 be tolerated them. IL
smokers are restricted TO the platforms OF the
IN the cold season and TO the rear seats Of The
open Cars In the warm season. But this Is not
enough, Tor IN the rSt Case Whenever the car door
Is opened the motion OF the or the pressure OF
the vino Is pretty sure TO send a wait OF smoke
within, and In the case or the open cars II Is an
every occurrence that gentlemen and ladies'
III they rde at all must sit side 10y side with these
back-seat smokers because there Is no room else
where. This ought not 10 be. Smokers ought to
Dc banlShed entirely from the street cars They
should not even Oe allowed TO take lighted or re-
Gently eXtlnsulshed cigar into the cars as they
now do. Is IL asking too much CT the most invet-
crate smoker that he IOregO his pleasure during
The brief period occupied by car trip? Ii IL is,
then let our car Companies set apart certain cars
say every third or iiith one as smoking cars put
ting sign upon them that all persons may
know their character In this respect. Then let all
smokers be required u take THESE cars and let
others take them II they please, knowing to what
they Will be exposed. DAILY TRAVELLER
