Mr.. Irving and Miss Terry were play
ing "The Merchant of Venice" at San
dringbam, with her majesty seated in
front. When Miss Terry comes out to
deliver her great speech as Portia she
always makes marked and peculiar
pause before commencing. The queen.
who was eagerly following the play,
mistook the cause and thought the ac-
tress had forgotten her role. In the
kindness of her heart she began prompt
ing her quite low: The quality of
mercy is not strained" but Miss Terry
did not take the cue; her majesty then
repeated more loudly and encouragingly:
THE quality of mercy is not strained"
and Miss Terry gracefully accepted her
cue from the sovereign. Probably she is
the only actress who was ever honored
by having queen as a prompter.

FARMERS, LOOK TO YOUR II
TERESTS

The bears in the grain and provision
pit at Chicago are again wrecking the
prices of farm products by hammering
down the market in their gambling way
TO such an extent that the farmers are
compelled to take loss for almost every
thing they raise.
This option dealing is sapping the life
blood out of every western farmer, and
it is time that our farmers demand ma
tional law TO prevent few gamblers
from making price on their products.
This question is becoming serious mat
ter, and demands immediate attention.
For the past four years wheat has ruled
on the average very low, and it was not
because our crop was excessive in guam
tity or quality, but because the bears or
short seller had the power to sell by op-
ton more wind wheat than the bull or
buyer could buy, thus breaking the price
and forcing the farmer TO take lower
price than they otherwise would if
the actual money was put into it in n
legitimate business way instead of an
option. Not only is this option trading
hurting our farmers, but it is making
itself felt in the traffic OF our railroads.
There was time when our railroads
had elevators along their lines at every
station. Grain dealers had their repre-
sentatives out all over the west buving
up grain for stere, but since the bears on
change have demonstrated that it is
only necessary 10 take an option in order
TO make money, and can outwind the
man who buys the actual stuff. these
elevators have become scarce and the
grain dealer is thing of the past.
4 week ago the railroad association
reduced the rate on grain 1-2 cents per
100 pounds from Kansas points to Chi
cago. This was done 10 move the wheat.
The bears VIII so hammer the price down
that the reduction viii cut no figure
what ever. The farmer viii not be hsne-

TEXAS DEEP HARBoRs SECURED.

The interest manifested by the Texans
in the subject of deep water harbors on
the gulf coast of their state is highly
commendable The action taken, as a
result of the Beaumont convention
Thursday, whereby a channel of SUI
ficient depth through Sabine pass into
the bay of that name to make it readily
accessible as an harbor for sea going YES
sells, said work to be accomplished by
private capital and enterprise, will give
Texas two first class harbors-the other
being at the mouth of the Brazos river
without the expenditure of a
dollar by the government. There is
no question but that enterprises of
almost any character or magnitude may
be carried through successfully and with
greater expedition and economy by pri-
vate than by public effort, but there are
some undertakings that serve the public
interests better under control Of the gov
ernmen than,under private.management,
and harbor accommodations for ocean
traffic belong to that class. Neverthe-
less the Texans are to be congratulated
upon their spirit of enterprise and go
aheaditiveness displayed in this matter,
with the assurance that they cannot lose
anything thereby.

The Washington Sunday Capital is
authority for the conversational state
ment that Miss Frances E. Willard, the
great female apostle of temperance, is
accused by her co-laborers of taking al
cohol in capsules and in quantity. 1t is
simply dreadful. The Capital declares
that it is as if John P. st. John were &C
cused of not being a time-seryer or Miss
Anothony of lacking solidity of char
acter. The Capital refuses to credit the
charges in all their length and breadth.
1t will not even admit that Miss Willard,
when tired, may suck an occasional
capsule in which turks the demon rum,
and it laughts to scorn the idea that, if
she did, she wouldn't know when to
stop. After quoting the incident that
gave rise to the allegation, which was a
trial over some alleged irregularities in
the management of the National Tenn
perance hospital at Chicago, the Capital
says by way of extenuation that ''wO-
mans wars, like holy wars, are always
bitter and some allowance must be
made" but whether the allowance is
meant to apply to the contents of the
capsules, to the alleged Irregularities re-
ferred to, or yet to the temperament of
the contestants the Capital leaves the
reader to decide.

Kansas is taking prominent and con-
spicuous part in the national educational
convention at Nashville, Tenn. Not
only does the state furnish the largest
number Of attendants, except perhaps
Tennessee, but carries off the first honors
in the selection of officers of the con-
ventIon and takes leading part in the
work of the body and in the social
events of. the occasion. Kansas is al
ways invited TO front seat except from
one direction, and everybody knows
where that is.

The announcement that a new COM

Both branches of the Michigan legis
lature have passed the bill to regulate
passenger fares on the railways of that
state. Roads whose gross earnings per
mile are less than $4,000 are allowed to
charge cents per mile, those earning
between $1,000 and $4,000 can charge
9 1-2 cents per mile, while ? cents is the
maximum rate that can be charged by
roads earning over $4,000 per mile. The
railway interests attempted to have the
vote by which the bill was passed recon-
sidered, but did not succeed. The rail-
ways will be given hearing by the gov
ernor, however, and the veto power is
their only hope.

The verdict of the trial jury that ac-

ing Captain Dawson in Charleston, S. c.,
saved the accused from the penalty of
the law, but it could not prevent the
brand of Cain from being placed upon

melting out merited punishment than

which the EAGLE has had occasion to
