THE STRIKERS MISTAKE.

The dispatches report fresh trouble
among the dock laborers of London.
During the great strike of month or so
ago public sympathy was almost wholly
with the strikers, because everybody
recognized that they had real griev-
ance. Now the case, as reported, is diff
ferent, and instead of the ground of COM
plant being on the side of the strikers it
is decidedly against them. However de-
sirable it may be to members of trades
unions to have all mechanics and labor
ers of their class and calling join them
in their organizations, there is no law,
written or moral, that will sustain men,
bers of such unions in their attempts to
coerce others not members TO join them
and become bound by their obligations.
Organization is highly important to
the full attainment of the best interests
of the people in every department of life.
The principle starts with the home and
permeates the entire political economy,
but it must be founded on free Will and
voluntary. cheerful acquiescense on the
part of the Individual member, else the
effort partakes Of tyranny and at once
engenders spirit Of resentment that is
sure to develop into open resistance the
moment coercion is attempted. This
principle or spirit is universal: it mani
tests itself as strongly in the acts of the
union dock strikers as in the resistance

quite an impression and was ably dis
cussed by other teachers present.
This was followed by a paper
on the COLLECTS and Value of Supple.
mentary Reading" by Mr.. j. R. Haven.
This subject was well handled and as
it is most important one, received
marked attention. The article contained
many good points, of which the follow
ing are few: Supplementary reading
is the right way to get rid of rapid, des-
ultory reading, which is the worst form
of mental dissipation. 1t cultivates a
taste for good literature, exercises the
understanding and improves the mem
DRY and imagination. The daily reading
exercise should be varied by using care
fully selected extracts from the news
papers, the Bible, various poems, etc., as
supplementary work.
The paper was deliberately discussed
by Messrs. Biggs, Alexander, Colville,
Miss Flower and others, who emphasized
the subject as presented, and introduced
many new thoughts.
Supt. Pence then spoke of various
matters pertaining to the uniformity of
text books, etc, and gave some good
advice, as he always does, 10 the teach
ers, regarding the management of their
schools, and other incidental things,
which Tighten their labor and add to
their success.
Quite treat is in store for the teachers
who attend the Southwestern Teachers
association which meets at Wichita on
Thanksgiving evening and the Friday
following, as the following noted gentle
men will be present to deliver addresses:
Prof. Garfield, State university; Supt.
Greenwood, Kansas City; City Supt.
Stevenson, Chancellor Everest, and
others. Every progressive teacher, (and
Sedgwick county has no others), should
avail himself of this opportunity to at
tend and thus better fit himself for his
noble calling. Large delegations from
adjoining counties have been booked to
be in attendance at the Southwestern
association.

BIG BLACK BASS, KANSAS ONLY
GAME FISH.

The Big Walnut river, in Butler coun-
ty, as also the White Water, which runs
near the county's western borders, from
the great and sudden accommodations of
water, made possible by the high rolling
prairies which wall in both valleys, have
gone on securing down through these
black alluvial soils until the beds OF these
streams are found deep within the shales,
flint gravel beds and limestone lodges
that underlie that region. The long
sinuous, pure, limpid water stretches
which alternate the ripples of these two
high and precipitous banks with great
overhanging trees, but from these shales
and gravel beds issue innumerable cold
springs that bubble up and trickle
into the pools, all through
the long hot summer
days holding the temperature of the
deep dams and waterways down. These
conditions render those streams the nat
ural home of the wicked black bass and
the silver sided croppie. In the shad-
ows of the gravel perpendiculars and
under the edges of the sunken lodges and
behind hidden roots and logs are the
haunts of the only game fish known to
Kansas waters, the rapacious bass and
the swift flashing croppie. From Chel-
sea to Douglas, a stretch of fifty miles
as the Walnut runs, and from Potwin to
Augusta, distance of thirty miles as
winds the Whitewater, there is scarce a
dozen expert anglers, so far as we know,
that is of such knights of the rod and
reel as understand the habits of these
game fish sufficiently to successfully and
regularly capture them, and four or five
of these gentlemen live in Ell Dorado.
Last summer the writer spent week
with them, and took not few two, and
two-and-a-half Founders. But all
through the autumn days, as the leaves
have fallen and the clouds thickened, we
have been hearing wonderful yarns
about monster four and five Founders
smashing rods and Strengthening out
Limerick snoods, and raising Cain gen
orally, as they went threshing away
through the old tree tops flashing the
water into foam and all that kind of
thing, generally followed by telegram:
Come over; bass ravenous, and croppie
jumping ten feet high" We have en-
tertained grave doubts of these fish
stories, but the proof of the pudding
was not in the bag this time, but in a
gunny sack, out of which was rolled yes
terday two black beauties weighing as
received just twelve pounds and two
ounces. or strong six pounds each, which
the piscatorial sports of Eldorado had
sent over by express. No finer fish, no
tirmer, winter, swecter fry. brook and
mountain speckled trout excepted, ever
was eaten, and the Eldorado gentlemen
have herewith our abundant acknowl-
Judgements of the obligation.
