TO THE LONE BARD OF STRAY
HORSE GuICH

This is respectfully offered in response to his artic
in EAGLE OF this date
warlike bard of STRAY Horse Gulch,n
Why is 1t that you sigh to sQuelch
The gentle souls who dare TO rhyme
Erratic thoughts from time to time.
While you may be quite near the top
OF farle's long ladder do not stop
TO kick the fellow just below,
But keep climb g. tho It's slow.
You should not arm yourself with guns,
Nor pile on war pa int till il stuns
The humble native of your town.
When out you start to win renown.
Tho proud ard naughty you may be,
But why, your readers fail to see
While diamonds stud your cross barred shirt
Your coat tails trailing in the dirt.
The EAGLES eyrie yon invade,
Don't even knock. and undismayed
Appropriate the easy chair.
Ask for smoke, and then you dare
To twit the EAGLE on his muse;
CTwould honor you to tie his shoes,
Then In low. uncertain tone
You hum. To-day I'm ffty-one."
And yet you live we know not why;
1t seemeth strange you did not die
or very shame, but we conclude
The EAGLE sized you for dude.
His heart in kindness overflows
Toward the weak and then he knows
That all his wrongs will ri<hted be,
When time winds up. ah, then you II see,
We're glad you have to US made known
That Heaven may be the poets home.
With this in view, here is our hand:
Just speak for us when there you land.
Z. P. FORD.

If the social and political situation in
France touching the vital interests of
the republic be such as are depicted by
General Boulanger in his brief address
to the electors upon the sweeping Re-
publican majority given him in Sundays
election, that success is a strong and
gratifying augury for the perpetuity of
the republic, despite the attempts of
The willy leaders opponents to make,it APP
pear that he had designs upon the empire
which they have alleged he.has for many
months been planning TO re-establish.
Boulanger talks like patriot, whatever
may be his actions hereafter. At pres
ent it appears to be most fortunate
thing that Boulanger appeared upon the
arena as a great Republican leader at
the time he did. There is no sort of
doubt that the royalist sentiment is still
prevalent to considerable extent and
that it numbers among its advocates
many in high official stations.

With European powers so evenly bal

The esteemed Leavenworth Times, in
commenting upon the question of fuel
supply, locally, makes reference to a
report that there is possibility that
the Armour's may locate a branch
packing plant at that point, and by way
of encouraging the matter cites the
cheapness of fuel there which, the
Times thinks, if properly laid before the
packers would induce them TO make a
much larger establishment than they
now think of erecting. But for the
attitude of Leavenworth towards the
packing houses at Kansas City and the
City of Kansas on the dressed beef ques-
ton, the cheap fuel inducement might,
md probably would be entertained
by the parties named. and per-
haps others. but the antagonism man.
ifested towards their business at those
places cannot fail to make such an I'M
preston that extraordinary inducements
viii be necessary to disabuse the convic-
ton of unfriendliness made upon them.

The reelection of Senator Harris by
the Tennessee legislature, and conse-
Quent defeat of j. ID. c. Atkins, was not
a surprise, and was probably as well as
the dominant party in the legislature
could have done unless they had chosen
Colonel Colyar, the very able editor of
the Nashville American. But this was
not to be thought of, for while his De-
mocracy is unqueStioned on everything
else, he is a pronounced protectionist,
and this disqua les him for so impor::
tant a station. 1t may be said of Sena-
tor Harris that with all his bourbonic
propensities he is trustworthy, as was
evidenced by his safely keeping through
the war and returning when the war
was over something like three hundred
thousand dollars that belonged to the
state school fund. The election of At
kins would have been regarded generally
in the light of calamity to the state and
an infiction upon the senate.

The Inevitable Result

Kansas City Gazette.
The Kinsley Mercury thinks it mis-
take to attempt to interfere with natural
laws governing money matters. If there
is much monkeying with the interest
laws, foreclosure suits will be brought
against three-fourths of all the mort
gagged farms in Kansas inside Of sixty
DAYS. The farmer who has mortgage
on his place, which he hopes to pay off
by re-mortgaging for the whole amount,
or IN part, viii be simply sold out. The
Mercury is Of the opinion that there will
be no help for him unless some way be
devised for evading the law, and if that
should be done it does not require a
prophet to forsee that the borrower viii
get the worst of it.

No form of government in France in
the past 100 years has passed the eigh-
teen-year mark except one. The Orleanist
kingdom, although given here has con-
tinuing eighteen years in round figures,
actually lasted but seventeen years, six
and half months, while the second
empire was in existence about seventeen
years and nine months. The only gov
ernmen.al system which has endured
longer than eighteen years is the third
republic, which, however, has exceeded
than span of time by less than five
months.
The eighteenth year period has fatal
import in French history. The reign of
Louis XVI was nominally about eigh-
teen years, as he was crowned in 1874
and guillotined few days after the be-
ginning of 1898, although practically he
had been out of power since the fall of
the Bastile in 1899, when the republic
virtually came into existence. Napoleon
| was dominant in French affairs about
eighteen years, beginning in 1897, just
before the establishment of the consul
ate, and ending at Waterloo in 1915.
Louis Philippe, the Orleanist, and the
third Napoleon, who established the Sec
ond empire, each reigned nearly eighteen
years. The duration of the Bourbon mon
archy of Louis XVII and of his sue
cessor, Charles x, which ended when
Louis Philippe went upon the throne,
lasted within two years of the eighteen
year period.
The foregoing landmarks in the course
of French history for the last ten or
eleven decades will show the basis on
which the eighteen-year superstition
rests. The cycle is again completed and
the period is fully rounded out. Is
France on the eve of another revolution?
Has the republic reached the limit of its
existence? Is one more illustration about
to be given that dozen and a half of
years of power Is the maximum which
will be allotted in France to dynasty or
governmental system? To these ques-
tions the events Of the next few days will
furnish an answer.

IS THE FRENCH REPUBLIC DooMEDa

from inc GIobe-Democrat.
There is sort of superstitution in
france that no dynasty or form of gov
eminent in that country can endure
more than eighteen years. This belief
has been held for a third of century or
more, and the events which have occur
red within this period have served to in
tensify and extend it. The belief is
based on few important facts in the
French history of the past 100 years.
These facts are contained in the record
of the duration of each governmental
system in that period, which we will
here present in convenient form:

Representative Poe'S resolution con-
demning the use of titles of English origin
has attracted the attention of eastern
papers, among which is the Philadelphia
American, the only paper outside of In
diana that urged the nomination of Har-
rison long before the convention. The
American is with Mr.. Poe.-Leavenwort
Times.
This, it seems to us, is whiting a
very small thing down to a very fine
point; SO fine in fact that we fail to see
1t. Whatever of disposition there may
be among our people to indulge in titles
whether of English or domestic origin
and it must be admitted that it is next to
universal-while 1t is one of the striking
idiosyncrasies of the age is yet purely
personal and withai harmless matter
The legislature surely can find more
important matter; something at least
worth the expense its consideration will
involve. There is a measure in refer
ence TO foreign titles upon which the
legislature can afford to spend all the
time necessary to perfect, and that is
foreign titles in real property. If this be
properly attended to the people will have
no cause to fear any harmful conse-
quences from the English title whim-
