A CHRISTMAS PRESENT.

The glad Christmas tide draws near-the season
of earnest confdings, small secrecies and corner
conferences; the season when mothers heart ex-
pands, and fathers purse-strings relax and his
hand seems involuntariy to seek the depths of his
pockets, regardless of thought for the morrow.
For just this once he is willing to consider the ex-
ample of the improvdent lilies Of the field, and
let the future take care of itself. Like the day
which far away in Bethlehem brought tidings of
great joy, so many years ago, this season still
brings to the threshold of the rich food-tide of
rejoicing and generous impulses, and to the humber
abode one day at least of happiness and plenty.
The legendary idea is that all are happy and every
one is casting about to see what he can do to glad
den the heart of another each striving to accom-
plish some purpose of charity or devotion worthy
the better or angel side Of his being.
Now we hold as a matter beyond dispute, that
the Christmas gift which most frequently brings to
the mind the giver, is the one most desirable We
therefore make the proposition to every good son,
be year long reminder, to send One Dollar to

SONG OF CHRISTMAS.

Sound over all waters, reach out from all lands
The chorus of voices, the caspng of hands;
Sing hymns that were sung by the stars of the morn
Sing songs of the angels when Jesus born.
With glad jublations
Bring hope to the nations
The dark night is ending and dawn has begun
Rise, hope of the ages, arise like the sum-
All speech flow to music all hearts beat as one.
Sing the bridal of nations with choras of love,
Sing out the vulture and sing in the dove
Till the hearts of the people keep time in accord,
And the voice of the world is the voice of the Lord
Clasp hands of the nations
In strong congratulations;
The dark night is ending and dawn has begun
Rise, hope of the ages, arise like the sun,
All speech flow TO music llsSeartaDe as one.
Blow, bugles of battle, the marches of peace
East West North and South let the long quarrel cease
Sing the song of great Joy that the angels began
Sing Of glory to God and good will to man.
Hark joining in chorus
The heavens bend DER us;
The dark night is ending and day has begun;
Rise, hope of the ages, arise like the sun,
All speech flow to music, all hearts beat as one

The last meeting of the National Woman
Suffrage Association that convened in Cincinnati
passed the following resolution on the death of
Louisa NJ. Alcott. The wording is as profoundly
significant as it is beautiful:
Resolved, That by the death of Louisa M. Al
colt, the woman suffrage movement has lost
steady and generous friend, and shining example
that woman who believes in equal rights may be
devoted daughter, faithful sister, and a woman
exemplary in all the relations of private life as
well as citizen whose public services have been
invaluable in providing pure, wholesome and de-
lghtful reading for the young.
AMONG the numerous points made by different
writer's on this much discussed question "Is mar
riage failure?' the one made by Junius Henry
Browne in the Forum for December, teens with
sound sense. lie says, marriage is a failure just
in proportion as the married themselves are fail
ure and that one of the chief failures is to rusA
into matrimony without taking thoughts and OK
pecting that their ideal will be realized" He has
no sympathy with the notion that everybody should
marry and says that those who do not are better
judges of it than those who say they ought to-
Says the Woman's Penny Paper: "What Goethe
said: The test of good woman is her capacity to
take her husbands place and become father to
his children Goethe goes on to say, he saw a SUI
perb structure completed under directions Of the
engineers wife, the engineer having died while the
building was in progress. This was good for
Goethe, but we have moved on since his day."
True, man is no longer the standard for woman.
She is her own standard-in everything even to
whistling The age is progressive, indeed, and the
world takes woman even as it takes every man, at
her own estimate. Plant your standard high, isis
ters and should you ever be obliged to rub against
the world it will step aside to let you pass. 1t is
already holding its elbows little closer to ITSELF
The following is from the Daily State Register,
of Springfield, ILL.,, in letter written by Mrs. Eva
Munson Smith, during her brief visit to this city:
The women of Little Rock are as active in good
works as are those of any western city Of the same
population of about 80, 900 inhabitants.
There are the usual number of benevolent and
missionary societies; the orphanage managed
wholly by women, and the Woman's Exchange,
which is about on the same scale as our own in
Springfield. | took lunch there, and everything
compared quite favorably with the one at home,
the room being about the same, the cookery dis
played in the show cases seemingly on a par with
our own, and the fancy department containing
quite as handsome goods, but not so extensive, it
appeared. The management is somewhat differ
ent, however. The WoMANs CHRONICLE is ably

To the head of the household, the husband and
father, Washington Irving thus speaks of the merry
Christmas time: "'Tis the season for kindlng the
fire of hospitality in the hall, the genial flame OF

bill authorizing the Kansas City and
Memphis railway and bridge company
to construct and maintain a bridge over
the Mississippi river from Hopefeld.

The Santa Fe's Chicago extension is
now open for traffic, and it will not be
many weeks before the older lines will
discover dangerous competitor N their
midst. 1t must, for several reasons. stand
as one of the most important events i'll
railroad circles for several years past, SO
far as western roads are concerned, for it
opens up many possibilities in the realm
OF both passenger and freight traffic be-
tween this city and Chicago. What the
new lines will do in regard to rates is
not known. What it can do before the
close OF the present year is pretty well
understood. In the first place, the Santa
Fe controls the shortest line by about
forty-four miles between this city and
Chicago. and in the present war against
time it will soon be placed at an immense
advantage over its competitors. Not
only this, but it belongs to no associa
ton, and is thesefore in a position to
make rates to suit itself and other roads
will be forced to meet them.-K. c.

In its advocacy Of the proposition to
remove the state capital from Topeka,
the Abilene Gazette urges that it is neces-
sary in order to break the political and
railroad influence with which, it alleges.
the state government is handicapped in
all its departments. The Gazette says
that lit is to break up this combination
as well as to build somewhere near the
central part of the state, great inter-
mediate commercial and distributing
center between Kansas City and Denver:
a city that will stand at the head or mi
tial point of the gulf roads, starting from
central Kansas to salt water: city that
would do for the central and western
portion of the state what Kansas CITY
does for the eastern third As for this
last idea there is no need to disturb the
capital, for the reason that the point is
already established. Wichita, though not
directly in line between Kansas CITY and
Denver, is near enough such central To-
cation to meet the requirements as
distributing point and commercial cen
ter. If this were not true there would
still be no argument in the proposition
on that point, because a state capital is
not a place at which to develop extensive
commercial activity and enterprise.

1t is stated that the pay roll of the
Singer Sewing Machine Co., at Eliza
beth, n. j.. amounts to 49,, 900 monthly.
while in their establishment at Glasgow
where one-third more people are employ
ed, the pay of employees amounts to but
$4,000. In other words. while the en-
ployes in the United States receive an
average of S13. per week, those in Scot
land receive only So. Such facts as these
present an ungetoverable argument in
favor of our system of protection to the
labor interests of the country. The case
cited is not an exceptional one. The
benefits are the same to every industrial
pursuit in the land. The south realizes
this and it is but natural that section.
just now engaged in developing manu-
featuring enterprises on an extensive
scale, should fall into line in support of

Now that the proposition to celebrate
the four hundredth anniversary of the
discovery of America is before congress
in the shape of a bill offered by Senator
Hoar. making the necessary provisions
for that event. we renew the suggestion
made by the EAGLE some time since and
offer it as an amendment to the Senator
bill to-wit: That the celebration be held
in Wichita. The appropriateness of this
city for the event named will suggest
itself at the mere mention of it. The
chief points are Wichita's location.
geographically; her accessibility by rail
from every direction and quarter, aud
being the youngest city on the continent
capable of entertaining such an occasion.
We trust the senator from MasSachu-

the bill will pass without delay, as every
body agrees il should.

The present session of the New York
Legislature will doubtless repeal the Sat
urday half-holiday law for the reason
that it has proven a nuisance during the
busy season, and in the dull summer
it is not needed. 1t occurs to us that the
business men of a community are better
qualified to regulate such matters than
outsiders (those who have no interest in
them. The half holiday is a purely local
question, and no general law fixing the
term of its continuance can be made
popular and enforced.
Wichita eagle., 1888-02-03

1t is probably not our put in, but we
would beg leave to suggest that the
Capital and its crowd would do well to
governor boom. It's evidently petering
out from want of attention upon the
part Of the fellows who fixed up the job
or from inanition. As about the only
farmer in it was the farming it out, why
not trot out another farmer by some
other name? Ben Simpsons attention is
called to this pointer.
