THE HELP QUESTION.
LARNED. Kan. Feb. IL, 1885

LARNED, Kan, Feb. ~, 1888.
To the Editor of the Eagle
In reply to a note saw in your paper
not long ago in regard to girls doing
homework, would like to tell you why
girls, that can do anything else. never
work in kitchens. 1t is simply because
their mistress usually, and every one
else. especially young folks, that do not
do the same thing, regard them as their
inferior.
A girl clerking in store that can go
''tOned up" ali the time and gets So a
week, is classed with the best of society.
while a girl who works in kitchen of
some nice family, and gets s.. 80 or s.. 90
a week and her board, is regarded as in
ferior to your lady clerk because she has
not quite so dignified position.
l hope people will change their minds
about this, and giveup thefoolish notion,
for consider kitchen girl. even if her
hands are not quite so delicate, holds
just as digniied position as your lady
clerk. ETA GRIFFIN.
That. Eta, is the opinion of the average
man, but with which the average sister
will not agree.

LABOR AND INDUSTRIAL STATISTICS

We have received from Frank H. Bet
ton. state labor commissioner, advance
sheets of his forthcoming third annual
report of the bureau. By expending a
great deal of time and labor. both
through personal viSitations to poor
houses and county officials, and by free
use of the mails. the commissioner has
succeeded in compiling very interesting
chapter on the subject. considering it is
the first attempt ever made by any de-
partment of the state to investigate a
subject in the study of which-to quote
the words of the last United States census
I'VE may almost be said to have our
finger upon the pulse of the nation"
After describing the condition of the in
ma ties in the several county poor houses
visited, the commissioner submits tables
comprising reports from 50 counties
showing the number of poorhouse and out
side paupers who have received assistance
during the year, the sum expended for
the various items of food, clothing. sick
ness. etc, and concludes by saving:
These elghty-two counties represent
total population of 1,353,916, out of
1,406. '3S-the population of the state on
March /, lSS6-or over SO per cent. and
they expended during the year total of
1923, 92s. IS for the support of paupers. 1t
costs Kansas about l. IA cents per CAPITA
yearly to support her paupers. The
United States census of 1880 estimates
that one person in each $50 of the popu-
latlon is an almshouse pauper. and nearly
one person In each 100 throughout the
country receives either public or private
aid in some form. IN Kansas. one in
every l,3io is permanent sane pauper,
and one person IN every IA receives
charitable aid in some form. while in
Massachusetts one person III every fifty
of the population receives some kind OF
public aid
On November l, 1887, Kansas had .e15
inmates in her state charitable insti,u-
tons. 1,O9s &whom were insane. 1t
costs the state about 1925 per annum 10

OUR SCOTT CITY BUDGET,

SCOTT CITY, Kan, Feb. IL.
To the Editor of the Eagle.
The Republican central committee
of Scott county met this week and chose
T. E. Hubbell member of the congress
sional committee of the seventh district,
vice j. w. Smith, resigned. Candidates
for county and state officers are already
beginning to be discussed and the in
dications are that the fur is going to fly
as soon as the campaign opens up.
The board of education have this week
advertised for plans and specifications
for building Scott City's $4,000 school
house. The bonds that Were voted will
be sold at par, offers to that effect hav-
ing already been received. Work will
be begun on the building just as soon as
the contract can be let. and all will be
pushed forward TO completion as fast as
possible. This will give Scott City the
finest public school building In western
Kansas.

muscle and capital to make 1t yield
bounteous crops to the husbaldman.
Although this section OF the state has

In urging upon the people of its town
the adoption of the Wichita way of
building up a city the Albuquerque
Democrat says: Wichita adopted the
same policy, about six years ago, and in
the course of about two years thereafter
commenced the biggest boom ever ex-
perienced by any western town, causing
Wichita to grow in the course of four
years from comparatively obscure vii
lage, to be the largest city i'm the state.
and adding to the taxable value of her
property 5000, 900. Those Kansas fell
lows know the value of printers ink and
are not afraid to pay for it. 1t would be

Albuquerque to hang up map of Wich-
tia in his counting room-iust to keep
him in mind how cities are built in this
age of the world"

covering 100 of its 1927 pages. Statements
of some 1000 of the workingmen of the
state, received directly from each ihdi-
vidual. are submitted.
Part is devoted to the Touring mills.
Part treats of manufacturing indus
tries, Excluding Touring mills.) Returns
from 500 establishments, show an aggre-
gate capital of SIG, 90.390, representing
1913 per cent of the whole number re-
porting, making the total capital report
ed SIT, 536,O91. The total cost of materi
al estimated in like manner, foots up
$50, 402,6l4. The sum paid for labor by
these establishments, computed upon
the J.49 per cent actually reported,
amounts to S., $50, 995; while the value
of product, 1896 per cent being reported
swells to $34 ,473,774. Labor and matter
al united cost $26, e59,6O9, leaving sur
plus of SS,214, 165, or 1890 per cent, for
superintendence, taxes, interest, insur-
ance, maintenance and profits. The to-
tai employees numbered 1874, making
the average wages for the year, $474.4S.
On pages gag and 243 the industries are
classified under the heads of animal
mineral, metal, lighting, salt and water,
stone and clay, fruit and saccharine,
grain, wood, paper, textile, liquors,

In the conclusion will be found re-

five add to the Ss6, 800, 900, invested in
private manufacturing establishments
the $2,50O,00 invested in mines and
$4,000, 900 in railroad shops and round
houses, we find the capital invested in
manufacturing industries of the state to
be $35, 100000, an increase over last
years estimate, of 5,765.25O. The num-
Der of employees engaged in railroads, in
mines, and manufactures, is estimated
at 41,641. The aggregate wages paid,
sci ,124, 116. making the average yearly
earnings of each of the Al ,641 workers
$507.2O for the past year.
The conclusion also gives the text of
acts passed by the Legislature of 1887, in
the interest of labor. also texts of bills
that were before that body, but failed to
become laws; and in addition to these
are letters from officials of Massachusetts
and Connecticut, in relation to the work
ing of the weekly payment laws.

The EAGLE measurably enjoys criti-
cism by its Democratic contemporary, the
Beacon, but does not go into ectacies
when forced into false attitude. The
EAGLE desires to be above all things,
consistent, politically, morally and re-
hgiously consistent, and a criticism at
tempting to show its inconsistency
should adhere to the letter and spirit of
the matter under review. The Beacon
must know that the EAGLE is no
obstructionist or nulifer and that it has
never opposed the enforcement of the
prohibition law in any sense. Wichita
got the police commission because she
was Wichita.

at one hundred thousand men organized

Apropos of the early recurrence of

planting will be of interest: 1.-The will
low and some other trees will grow if
planted upside down, and many trees
will grow with the south side to the
north; but with the trees difficult to
transplant at best, it is a mistake, very
apt to prove fatal, to turn the south side
north. and the older the tree the greater
the damage from changing the sides in

The cable announces the Rev. DIR.
Parker made his fresh debut in his tenn
pie in Lendon Sunday. but that in his
discourse he made no allusion to his trip
to America or his experience while here.
While this was a great disappointment
TO his congregation it portrayed a degree
of conservatism not commonly possessed
by even ministers of the gospel. The
treatment the noted divine received at
the hands of the Brooklyn tabernacle
folks was not such as to inspire an
exalted estimate of their Christianity. or
even their civility, and it was but
natural that the doctor should be ex-
pected to at least have made some pass
ing reference to his experiences OF the
trip at the first opportunity. Silence is
sometimes the severest criticism. and il
may be that this plan has been adopted
by the distinguished Londoner.

Sir Wilfred Blunt, an English Liberal
who was imprisoned in Ireland under
the Crimes act. has begun suit for S25.-
600 damages for false imprisonment. He
had gone 10 Ireland to investigate the
subject of home rule. and while there
happened to be present at public meet
ing of the National League and was
promptly arrested and thrown into jail.
That was Balfour's innings. He had
the power, and he took this way of teach
ing sympathetic Englishmen TO stay at
home and mind their own business.
After short imprisonment Blunt was
released, and he. now has his day in
court. 1t is to be hoped that he will re-
ceive all the money he seeks. but ii
would be much more satisfaction to know
that Balfour was obliged to languish in
prison himself for a few months, as
partial expiatien for his inhunan treat

at present could not be other than a
great detrlment to most parts OF Kansas.
and espe cially western Kansas and Kan
sas citizens In that part of the state will
expect their congressman to see that
their interests are not disregarded.
The Scott county farmers have already
done considerable spring blowing and
will put out large average of grain. The
heavy rains here last week have left the
ground in fine conditions. 1t rained
almost continuously for forty EIGHT hours,
the rain pouring down most of the time.
Everybody is encouraged at the prospect
and look forward to a year OF plenty and
prosperity.
Trade in Scott City is Frightening up
and travel and traffic over the Missouri
Pacific and Santa Fe to Scott City has
considerably increased in the past two
weeks. Quite a number of immigrants
from the East have arrived iii our
city within the past three weeks and
have purchased homes in Scott county.
Some Chicago capitalists We're here last
week looking over the country and show
ed their faith in our county and city by
making several investments.
We notice that concerted effort is
the state TO correct the false statements
made in regard to the condition of the
people in western Kansas. So far as the
people of Scott county are concerned,
they have denied these lies so often they
are tired of it and will likely hurl brick
at the head of the next man who men,
tons western Kansas restitution and
suffering to them. The people here are
too busy in building houses, in getting
ready to put out crops, and III making
various improvements, and have no time
to spend in chasing down lies. If the
eastern man wants to persist in believing
these hes, Scott county people can't help
it.
Scott City is agitating the question of
taking up subscription to aid people in
northern Dakota to immigrate to this
pant of sunny Kansas as soon as summer
thaws them out sufficiently to travel with
safety. There is also talk of sending aid
to some parts of the eastern states where
snow now lies from three to fifteen feet
deep. Other Kansas towns should fol-
low the example of Scott.

part of the state, arriving here the day

Whether or not there is any real fOun-
boom in New York, certain it is that
President Cleveland is working the New
York branch of his administration for all
there is in it. His appointment of Judge
McCue of Brooklyn to succeed Canda as
assistant treasurer in New York City
indicates this Enthusiastically. Judge
McCue may be as competent for the posi-
ton as any man in his party, but an oc-
casional recognition outside of New

of finance, would be becoming in the

The Latest Analysis.

Judging by the reports from Washing
ton, we fear that Hon. Henry Watterson
is not succeeding very well in his efforts
TO harmonic the discordant elements of
the Democracy at the national capital.
The latest analysis of the Democratic

places over forty members under the
banner of Samuel J. Randall.
