For the Eagle.
KISS ME BACK AGAIN.

II you should die and leave me love,
Che very sun would darkened be.
And all the days one lifelong night
Forever more would be to me.
NV eyes from unshed tears would burn.
FOR grief Ike mine could ind no balm
And from my widowed heart would come
a voiceless sorrow-a joyless psalm.
o love- I'd pray TO be with you,
God knows the piace-1'd care not where
For even hades would welcome De-
II but knew that you were there.
I whisper this, know tits wrong,
Dispassionei souls would say twere SO;
But you and I. my darling one,
Leave wrong to those who love Ike snow.
often think while sitting here,
Upon the words you spoke TO me-
That-should you die and leave me, love,
Die far away, die suddenly
That must come unto you bier.
Ana bending low beside your form,
Must press my lips close to your own.
and kiss you till your lips grew warm.
You said. 20 love, II were dead
And you should kiss me with that Kiss,
Ny soul would come to earth again,
Would fee from heaven to feel such bliss"
And then you said: MY own, don't weep,
Inever nc cant to give you pain;
But love, your kiss-e 'en we're dead
Would bring me back to life again"
Ny darling is it really so?
/ ask the question dav by day;
dream you, dear words DER and DER.
And dreaming never cease to pray.
/ pray that should you leave me. love.
Should death, SO cruel, part US twain
That when | knoll to kiss your lips.
They shall kiss me back again.

MR.. CARNEGLEs SOUTHERN oBsER-
VATIONS,

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie writes to a
manufacturers journal in Baltimore
concerning the results of an investigat-
ing tour which he has recently made
among the iron manufacturing inter-
ests Of the south. He states that he
found the character of the coal, the iron
ore and the limestone, better than he
thought to find it. The ease and cost of
mining are much more favorable than
he anticipated. After speaking of the
condition of the shops and machinery as
an improvement on his expectations, he
says that be regards the south as promis-
ing TO become Pennsylvania most
formidable industrial rival.
Industrial activity is general through
out the south. The investments that
northern capitalists are now making in
that section are represented as surpris-
ing. The union of northern and south
ern resources in the development of the
new south, is illustrated in the fact that
New England men of wealth
are laying the foundation of
great city at Shelby, Alabama. There
are now twelve hundred people living
there who are from the New England
states, and are interested in furnaces,
railroad shops and manufactures. New
England capital, backed by New England
energy and New England hands, is build
ing great industrial city at Shelby.
North and south are no longer fighting
against each other, but are uniting there
as at other points in the south, to develop
the wonderful resources Of a section
which promises, at no distant day, to
rival the best manufacturing districts of
the north. Another twenty-five years,
it is safe to say, will see the entire south
in the hands OF a new generation Of men.
The questions concerning the relations
between the whites and the blacks,
which are SO engrossing now, will all
have been settled, and race prejudice
will disappear IN the face of movement
which counts only upon ability and sue
cess in following the pursuits of life.

We note from many of our exchanges

We note from many of our exchanges
that the typographical unions in a num-
Der of places adopted what is known as
the Australian system of voting in the
election of delegates to the International
convention. So far as reported the .:sys-
tenn worked satisfactorily in every par
ticular. The principal objection to it,
that of its slowness, or the length of time
required for the voter to perform the
duty, was entirely overcome, the aver
age time being a minute and half to
the vote cast. The system seems to be
growing in popular favor wherever
tried, and it is not improbable that it
may come into universal practice wher-
ever the ballot is used in elections.

Thomas w. Bane, the farmer who at

The Gazette essays to say that Mr..
Oscar Seitz, of Salina, has under chem
ical ANALYSIS several specimens of ore
which, it is said, will show good per-
centage of silver and other valuable
metals. The specimens were taken from
Saline county farm lands.
1t is announced that P. T. Barnum
will be in Kansas in a short time. 1t
isn't stated whether he comes TO secure
for his museum the man who is not a
candidate for Office or the one who has
secured one under the new administra-
ton. They are thought to be equally
rare.
A Mcpherson county farmer named
Peterson has struck oil. A large party
of Mcpherson townmen went out to ex-
anime the discovery and found that the
water in the various borings was strong
ly impregnated with oil, which when
skinned off was highly infiammable.
1t seems to be the universal opinion
that in no year in the history of the state
have the people had greater confidence
of the outlook than this season. Wheat
and rye never promised better, and new
er was there so large an acreage. Oats
and spring wheat have been largely
sown, and the ground was never in bet
ter condition for the planting of spring
crops.

VERY ABSURD.

Topeka has the bulge on Wichita badly
now. Her registration ran up to 1854
exceed five thousand and something
Emporia News.
Registration is now very poor indi-
cation of population. In some cities pc
culiar conditions induce full registra-
ton of women, as in Topeka and Leav-
enworth this year; in others the number
of women registering is very small, as
in Wichita and Atchison. Lack of pop
ular excitement, Or the absence of con-
test, induces small registration of male
voters, while a fierce fight over the
mayoralty brings out a full registration,
1t is, for these reasons, absurd to cite
registration as an indication of popula-

The Fort Scott Monitor doesn't like the
police commission law and makes no bones
of saying so. 1t has an idea that the met
tropolitan Kansas cities are big enough
state nurse.-Emporia Republican.
The esteemed Monitors protest comes
too late. When it was in position to
have exerted an influence that would
have been felt in defeating the PROPOSE
ton as embraced in the law it was silent
as a church mouse, whether from in
difference to the principle involved or
because its town would be exempt from
the operations of the law we will not
say. There was no necessity for the i'm
position of the outrage upon Fort Scott,
but there is no reason why it shonld not
have it. SO long as it rests upon any.

A SILLY STORY OF LENT.

The current number or the nCnurCn-
man, a newspaper of high repute in Epis-
copal circles, contains story OF Lent
which is supposed to teach the true phi
losophy of the penitential season. 1t is
related that family, having lost all
their wealth in the east, moved to the
western prairies. They were very desc
late in their new home; they had only a
few neighbors and those were uncultur-
ed and not fit to associate with. (The
man who writes the story is Of course an
eastern person, with the usual idea that
when eastern people come to western
settlement they encounter nothing but
vulgarians and barbarians). Well, the
family had a daughter eight or nine
years old who felt very keenly the de-
privations to which she was subjected.
She was utterly miserable Night after
night she went to her poor cot IN tears.
Presently Lent rolled around. On Ash
Wednesday the mother found the lit
tie girl in a reflective mood. "What is
it," inquired the sympathetic parent. 81
was thinking" replied the child, "that
there is no use of Lent in such a place as
this; there is nothing to give up."
When Lent was half gone the child
came bounding one afternoon into the
room where her mother was seated.
Her cheeks were radiant and her eyes
bright with pleasure. "Oh; mamma,
she cried, "all the boys and girls are
going on picnic to sugar camp! May
go?" Her mother did not answer in
words-she gave the girl a sad look
which paled her cheek and dimmed her
ewes. She remembered it was Lent and
sat down in a dark corner and cried.
She had found something to give up.
On Easter the mother gave the child a
dollar to pay her for the remuneration.
We do not believe that in this story or
in nine-tenths of the stories retailed In
the religious newspapers for the benefit
of children there is sense, morality or
christianity. Our idea of Lent may be
crude, but we cannot think that the
season demands any such suprem-
acy of sacrifice from child
a. that described by the Churchman's
fictionist. Certainly grown people, good
church members, DO not think it neces-
sary to deny themselves a single CLEAN
of light during the forty penitential days.
They rest and few of them may fast q
little. The very extremists satisfy their
consciences with remuneration of few
trivial things. But in the story of the
little girl the remuneration was morbidly
heroic. We can not see the logic OF a
mother demanding from her child the
thing which she would not do herself.
And then that dollar. The story teller
felt, perhaps, that he had piled the agony
too high: he had to do something to nit
igate it. Every little girl who reads the
tale will, if she shallperform good deed,
wait for and expect financial considera-
ton. The teaching is fairly pernicious.
To confound morality with money Is bad
ehough-to teach that person is paid in
coin of the realms for obeying the wishes
and commands of the Lord is infinitely
worse.
Our religious contemporaries should
reform their children's stories.

OKLAHOMA.

! From the Kansas City Star.
| President Harrison Yesterday issued
! the proclamation throwing open to set
! Element the Creek and Seminole lands
ceded to the government, thus terminal
! ing the painful suspense under which
| the rapidly increasing army of Oklaho-
ma immigrants have been laboring for
! so many weeks. The intelligence was
greeted with great rejoicing at Wichita.
The time of opening fixed upon is April
| %, and it is specifically declared that all
| settlers who attempt to anticipate that
date will be forever barred from legal
rights in tine territory. 1t will doubtless
be difficult for immigrants to possess
themselves in patience for three more
weeks, but the severe penalty of disobe-
dience should admonish them of {the fol-
" of violating the rule laid down for
their government.
The Oklahoma fever will now increase
in intensity and the rush for the new
territory promises to be unprecedented
in the annals of immigration. 1t is to
| be hoped that the zeal of the home
seekers who are coming from the east
and the west will not be wholly untem-
pered with prudence and discretion. The
season, by the time that the lands are
legally opened, will be so far advanced
that not much can be done this year in
the way of raising crops, as the ground
will have to be broken up, shelter pro-
vided for settlers and other preparations
made for living which can not be COM
pleted until quite late III the spring.
Many people Will crowd into the terri
tory without sufficient means of sub
sistence TO carry them through the
year. and this short-sighted action
is bound to be attended with
more or less suffering. II would be wise
for persons who are exposed to the Okla
homa contagion TO consider soberly all
| the uncertainties which must attend the
necessary delay in planting and the
sharp competition for claims which the
settlers in the territory must make up
their minds to encounter. People who
are unable to fortlfy themselves against
such contingencies. and who are not
provided with the means of awaiting the
more favorable conditions of next sea-
son, preceded, as it will be, By the neces-
sary work of preparation, would better
remain at home and be content for the
present with such comforts as can al
ways be obtained in older settlements.

The appointment of Patrick Egan to
an important station as the representa-
tive of the government is perhaps the
wisest act of the administration in that
line, from a stand point of expediency,
leaving out the question of his fitness for
the position. The Republican party has
for years asseverated deep sympathy for
the Irish and the Irish cause, and the
preferment of Mr.. Egan is an emphasis
to the sentiment expressed IN oftrepeated
declarations by the party.

We see il stated that Senator Colquitt,
of Georgia, viii join the temperance
crusade in some of the northern states as
soon as the extra session of the senate is
ended. The senator is no doubt a mighty
good man and has been fairly successful
in his undertakings, but in view of the
backset recently experienced by the
prohibition sentiment in certain COM
munities in the north and east, it might
be well for him to reserve his fire until
the reaction has run its course. 1t may
not be out of place, just here, to suggest
that when the apostles received their
commissions from the Great Leader to
''go into all the world and preach" they
were directed to begin at Jerusalem
We believe the gospel of prohibition has
not done its perfect work even in the
Empire State of the South.
