Thomas Cunningham, OF this place,
who is a corresponding member of the
Numismatic and Archaeological society,
Of New York, possesses, among his many
other ''curios," complete file of Phfn-
ney's Almanac from 1903 to 1887, incIu-
sive, the publication of which was stopped
In 1887. In looking over them one is
struck by the variety Of dates on which
Easter Sunday occurs, every day IN the
month of April being represented except
the last five. Throughout the file It oc-
ours five times on the 19thand Eve times
ON the 10Th Of April; four times on each
the list, I'd. 18th and 18th Of April, and
four times on the 81st Of March; three
times on the 9TH, 9th, 9th, 18th, 9Th, 10th,
18th, 18th and 22d Of April and the 9th
and 18th of March; April 25, 1885, being
the latest and March %, 1878, the earliest
dates on which it occurs. Eight dates in
March are represented, viz: ED. ed,

"A NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

The EmpOria Republican says to-
day, touching the rice tariff, that it is
in favor of giving "a reasonable pro-
lection to every useful American in
dustry." So are we. Now if all could
agree as to'what is "a reasonable pro-
lection, the matter would soon be set
tied. Just there is where the dispute
arises. Hence general statement of
that sort, covering ground enough for
men of all parties to stand on, is worth
less. But, inferentially, the Repub-
lican admits that the tariff may be SO
high as TO be unreasonable, and the
sugar and rice duties are examples of
it. No doubling the truth of that.
But these duties were laid by the re-
publican party for the purpose of ex-
Guiding competition from abroad, and
preserving the home market for the
domestic producer. In so far as the
prohibitive tax can do SO, they accom-
plish the end in view. Such is also the
object of the tariff ON great many
other things, the preservation of the
home market. An entirely prOhibitive

which could De produced here. would
be the most reasonable. logical and
effective measure to accomplish the end
in view. How then can a duty lbe I'M
reasonable, unless it be too low? The
higher it gets, the more reasonable it
becomes. Well, all that can be said to
that is that the Republican is out of
of line with Its party, as well as with
the logic of the situation.
A reasonable" tariff was defined
years ago by James A. Garfield to be
such one as would aid the domestic
manufacturer without prohibiting
such degree of competition from
abroad AS would prevent extortion at
home. If that idea was carried out in
the sugar tariff, there woHld be no
trust making so or 80 per cent profit on
that article as there is. So with many
other things. But Gartield's ideas on
that subject don't jibe witk the no
tions now held by the controlling ele-
ments in his party, and we see the re-
suits in trusts and combinations that
rob and plumber according to law, in
as remOrseleSS manner as did Tam
erlane of Hyder Ali by force of arms.

Cultivation of Roxs.

There are as a rule plenty of boys on
the farm, but, as the Iowa State Register
said recently, their cultivation is fire.
quently sadly neglected. They are not
cultivated in a way to make them con-
tented and successful farmers. The IA
theirs of the boys on the farms do not
sufficiently take them into their conf
dence, to consult them about all of the
farm operations and give them to feel
they are partners in all that is done.
The father should also, when he sells his
hogs, cattle, horses, or any of the crops,
sit down with his boys and tell ali about
the sale, the amount received, and COM
pare the cost and profit of one class of
farming over the other. Show them by
figures what it costs to raise wheat and
corn, as well as what amount Of corn and
grass each animal eats during his life and
what each brought in the market. In
this way boys will be cultivated into
thinking, intelligent farmers, instead of
mere drudges.
Then the boys should be consulted what
to do with the money received from the
crop that their joint labor has produced.
The father can point out to them what
debts have to be paid, what the necessi-
ties Of the family for food and clothing
will require, and how the balance shall
be Observation-Disclosures in buying more
land, laying foundation for improved
breeds Of stock, and what it shall be. In
this way report all Of the operations, the
same as you would to partners In bust
ness. They are partners, and they should
be made to feel that they are truly part
ners in the work, and partners IN direct
ing all Of the operations of the farm.

A WRITER in the LeaYenwOrth
Times who signs himself ''F. NJ.
Guion" takes the NEWS to task for
saying something few days ago about
the pension commjssioner-shlp for
which one Knapp of LeavenwOrth
sometimes dubbed colonel" and DIR.
Bernard Kelley are seekers. The
aforesaid writer lauds the military
career of private Knapp and points
out the distinguishing fact that he
was wounded in the service of his
country, as if that circumstances should
alone be conclusive with the govern
ment as to the superior character OF
his qualifications and fitness for the
place. If there be anything in wounds
we think, DIR. Bernard Kelly can hold
his own with Private Knapp before the
administration and the rest of man
kind. The doctor is not total wreck
but he was badly wounded in the
march to the sea, and to this day car
ries rebel bullet in his thigh as an
enduring souvenir of the war
in which lie spent about
four years of his life, AS the above
named writer makes no such claim for
his candidate, we think the doctor has
the call for the place. Unless Private
Knapp can show that he is lead mine,
he had better withdraw from the race
in the interest of harmony. Doctor
Kelly has some other qualifications
for the place, but we refrain from
mentioning them. The bullet IN his
leg Is sufficient for all purposes, we
think.

THE rice tariff aunoys the Emporia
Republican greatly. We know this
from the frequency with which it kicks
against it, although as a mere matter
OF consistency it ought to defend it as
earnestly as it does the iron or wool
tariff, since, as it argues, in neither
case does the tariff enhance the value
ofthe protected article. The avowed
end and aim of the tariff is two fold:
to furnish employment to native labor
at remunerative wages, and to preserve
the home market. The rice tariff does
both-especially the latter-as nearly
as any other duty laid, the labor thus
protected being all colored too. We
do net hear that there is a rice trust
either, as in the case of sugar. Why
chen does the Republican object to it?

A CHIP OF THE OLD BLOCK.
IKE Hutchinson's Adventure with H
Father in Carving Iaths.

"Ike' HutchinsOn's Adventure with His
Father In Carrying Laths.
Mr.. B. P. Hutchinson has a promising
son Isaac, of which this story is told:
"Old Hutch" as the world calls him,
was seated one afternoon on the fence
surrounding piece of his property upon
which comfortable dwelling house was
being put up. The veteran merchant
was whiting stick OF wood and super
intending the actions Of "Ike," who,
under his instructions. was transferring
a lot of laths from the open air to the in
terror of the unfinished house IN a wheel
barrow. 1t was not an easy tas :. Any
body who has tried it knows how hard it
is to wheel barrow up single plank.
But "Young Hutch" was performing the
job creditably.
sold Hutch" watched and whitfield for
a while in silence. Then an idea struck
him, and he numbered down off the fence
and approached his perspiring son.
"Ike," said he, "you know as much as
an oyster"
Ike made no Feply, but looked a little
sulzy.
''See here" went on the old man.
"don't you see that you can get twice
as many lathS onto that WheeiDarroW II
you pile them crosswise instead of length
wise, as you've been doing? Just watch
me, and see the load I'll take in there"
The boy silently watched his father
laboriously pile up the sticks. When he
started the wheelbarrow slowly up the
plank bystander might have perceived
huge grin Of delight spreading itself
over young Hutch's" features.
When Old Hutch reached the brick
doorway he stopped. Why? Well, be
cause when piled crosswise the laths
were too long to permit the wheelbarrow
to enter The old man turned slowly
round and mopped his brow with a red
silk handkerchief.
Old Hutch looked at Young Hutch.
Young Hutch looked at Old Hutch.
Father" said the younger of the
twain deliberately, ''you don't know al
much as the shell OF an oyster"
The old man told the Century clut
crowd all about it the next day, anC
vowed as he related the circumstance
that Ike would be a bigger man than hi
brother Charley some day.-Chicago Tn

took measures for the proper care of
said person. In less time than it takes
to tell it the canine was frisking about
