SILK CULTURE.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
VIII you kindly permit me through
the columns of the EAGLE to answer in
brief some questions put to me by sew
eral interested parties, which answer
will probably serve others who are inter
ested in the subject. First, would say,
then,-
If you wish to engage in silk culture
come to Kansas because 1t Is,
the paradise for silk worms, as well as
for people, and just the climate to manu-
facture silk goods in. In the north the
seasons are short. with wet and cold ex-
tremes; at the south it is too hot and dry.
Here YOU have six months TO grow silk
in and six to reel and weave it in. Come
now, because the opportunity is yours TO
get all the feed you want for silk worms
for asking, with thanks thrown in, for
pruning your neighbours hedge. Locate
adjoining one Of the many beautiful
cities, which are so numerous ali over
Kansas. Select spot convenient TO a
hedge on a street car or motor line,
which will save the cost and
expense of horse and buggy. Suppose
you had 81 900 when you come, buy an
acre of land for 800 or $500, build a
snug cottage for 1925 more with a
plant window in the east, verandah on
the north and bath room III the rear.
surround the home with fruit trees and
the acre with three rows Of Usage hedge
plant, ten feet apart, which VIII furnish
YOU food for your silk worms when
your neighbor will want his for himself:
set out a portion OF your acre IN
grapes because they are such
a wonderful success IN Kansas.
Plant the remainder to a garden which
Will furnish you one-haf q living and
can be planted before your silk worms
hatch in the spring. Buy cow and
twenty chickens. which will provide you
with the other half OF your living
Build cocoonery 12x20 feet with sash
door and transom at each end for light
and ventilation, place marble shelves on
each side one foot apart TO feed your
worms on. than get you some silk worm
eggs, which viii cost you but trifie,
and place them about the first Of April
ON the shelves, and as soon Is they hatch
feed them three times day for
thirty-fve days all the hedge
leaves they will eat, when they VIII spin
their silk cocoons. then smother them and
packin bags 10 sell or reel, and IN connec-
ton with your other living you ought TO
be contented and happy man. Some i've

the several brooded varieties OF silk

PLUMES AND BREECHES.

If the women of Kansas persist in hold
ing their various conventions in Wichita,
we fear the editor of the EAGLE will suffer
from nervous prOstration. Strange, too,
that he is so easily affected; for our part we
always rather liked TO talk to bright
women, especially women who have
thought above the WORKOUT servant girl
and the something to-eat-and-w ques-
ton. Kansas is full of bright, smart
women, and we hope that in time the
EAGLES plumage will become smooth,
and the world will appear brighter. New
ton Republican.
This plumage question involves every
thing and all. 1t is not the delightful
conversation of bright women who have
thought above the servant girl which so
affects our nervous system, dear Prentis,
but it is the sweet, musical tones of the
lady-leader, who goes about the country
screeching out her determination to
trade her plumage off for a pair of
breeches. Talk about nervous prostra-
ton, my dear fellow, why you might
just as well strip heaven of its harps and
angels as to rob this earth Of its ideals,
which ideals, for the most part, are only
personitied by women-women adorned
with feathers and plumes, with ripping
ribbon and dainty laces.
Kansas is indeed full Of bright, smart
women" for whose sake we shall en-
deavor to hold our own plumage down
to becoming smoothness, but what Kan
saS wants just now is law for danish
ment by administrative processes"

SIMPLY AWFUL.

The Democratic party seems to be fuS-
ing and hob-nobing with everybody IN
der the sun, good, bad and Indifferent,
but we had supposed that the w. G. I.

would be safe from its communications
and schemes, but in this we were mistak-
en-. S. B. Bradford. attorney general of
Kansas. is out in a three column defense
of himself from an attack made upon
him by Mrs. Fanny Rastall, president
of the Kansas w. C. T. u, which Fanny,
Dir. Bradford says, has in her official
capacity, been prevailed upon to espouse
the cause of Democracy and that ''she is
dragging that institution down to the
lower levels of society" If
anybody don't know what that
means, we can inform them
that it's something awful. Why, if that
is true, and an eminent lawyer and the
attorney general of this state says it is,
we hardly know what to advise or to
think. For a truth we have been meet
ing this kind of people right along, every
day, in the most open and innocent fash
ion, without thought of restraint or
that anybody would cut and snub us
socially. Next to charging this woman's
organization with having gone over to
the Democracy, body, soul and-well,
the more we think of it the more we
become mixed, and it seems to us that
the only way out of it is for somebody to
shoot the Democratic party or sue Brad
ford for libel.

THE OUTLOOK

Cleveland had more to help him in
1884 than he has in 1888. In the first
place, the Republicans had been in pow
er since 1870, and the desire for a change
for the sake of change was widely pre-
valent. Times were hard aud out OF
Joint, and this added a phase of discon-
tentment to the general restlessness.
which the Democratic party nourished
by fine words and fair promises. Thous-
andS believed that the books should be
opened: thousands more that civil serv-
ice reform would find its golden age
under Democratic president; and
Cleveland had the prestige of the 1872, 600
majority by which he had carried the
pivotal state Of New York.
Consider, also, the divided allegiance
of the Republican party. The bolt from
Blaine added q multitude of votes aud

the work of several great newspapers to
the factors of Republican defeat. This
bolt was supplemented by a smaller one,
comprising corps of unappeased stall
warts. The influence of Senator Ed
munds and ex-senator Conkling
was thrown against the party
leader, and various labor troubles, es-
pecially in the Hooking valley, were
adroitly turned against the issue of pro-
lection; and, in the case of Topographic
cal Union No 6 and the New York
Tribune, against himself through his
nearest political friends. Yet, in spite
of all these antagonists and discourage
ments; in spite of the rainy day in New
York, the Delmonico dinner and the
three Rs, Mr.. Blaine came within 1900
votes in poll of 100000 of being
elected.
Things have changed since 1884, and
the doubts, dangers and difficulties are
mostly on the other side. The Democ-
racy has been in power long enough to
show its incapacity and extravaganza.
Times have not improved, and to make
them worse Democratic free trade
movement is on foot, The bugaboo
about ''the books" has vanished into thin
air. The 49,, 900 ma ority has dwindled
in Cleveland's case to a beggarly plu-
rality of ], 140.
This year sees no Republican bolt, no
loss of newspaper support, no senatorial
Achilles sulking in his tent, no labor
troubles that can be traced to Republi-
can source, no decrease of party mem
bership, no personal objections to the
candidate. The Republican party is
united, compact and aggressive. 1t has
nothing to defend or apologize for. 1t
has the popular side Of a great economic
issue and the moral support in all its
undertakings of a class that was luke
warm, if not hostile, four years ago. AS
yet no mistakes have been made in the
conduct of the campaign or the course
of the candidate. Mr.. Blaine's little
slip being charged to his own private
account and not that of the party.
This seems to be the situation as it
was and as it is. Is it not a fair con-
clusion that if the Republicans could
reach the threshold of victory in 1884
with everything against them, they can
pass that threshold now with everything
in their favor.

The attempt is being made in certain
quarters to prejudice laboring people
against General Harrison because, for
sooth, Jno. c.. New, who is supposed to be
on intimate terms with him employs non
union men in his printing office. Henry
Watterson is as near Cleveland as New
can possibly be to Harrison, but in the
estimation of General Harrison's critics
it was all right for Watterson to not
only turn union men out Of his Office
but to put in their places machines to do
the work of half the men he formerly
employed, thereby throwing that num-
Der of men permanently out of employ

Four years ago Bourke Cochran con-
sidered Grover Cleveland a political &C
cident who, as governor of New York,
had prostituted his executive pen by
vetoing legislation in the interest of the
workingmen. Just now Mr.. Cochran
considers Cleveland a great man, and
has engaged to do some campaign work
in his interest this fall. The question is
when was Cochran sincere in his opin-
ions and utterances, four years ago or
now? Clevelands acts as governor were
as fresh in his mind then as Cleveland's
acts as president are now.

Speaking of campaign badges, nothing
could be more appropriate in the present
campaign for workingmen than the
dinner pail, for there never was cam
paign wherein the interests of the labor
ing classes were SO thoroughly involved.
Food and clothing, in the main, were
never SO cheap as at present, while wages
rate higher, fact admitted by Mr..
Mills, the recognized father of the pend
ing free trade scheme, who acknowl-
edges that the pay of opera
tives in Connecticut is greater
than anywhere else in the world. In
view of this state of facts the question is,
shall the present condition remain, or
shall the tariff be lowered and British
goods be brought in and stop our indus
trial operations. That is the question
for the workingman. And it is of far
greater Importance to him than mere
party success. Let him consult his din
ner pail before he votes for the tariff
scheme concocted by the willy Texan.
