THE FEELING AT SEVENTY.

Here is charming letter of DIR. Long
fellow addressed to a gentleman in Phil
adelphia:
CAMBRIDGE, March IS, 1SS7.-Deal
Mr.. Childs: You do not know yet what
it is to be 20 years old. / viii tell you
SO that you may not be taken by sur.
prise when your turn comes:
sit is like climbing the Alps. You
reach a snow crowned summit and see
behind you the deep valley stretching
miles and miles away. and before you
other SUBMITS higher and whittier, which
you may have strength to climb or not:
Then you sit down and mediate and
mediate which it viii be. That IS the
whole story, apply it as you may. All
that one can say is that life Is emporium
ity. Yours very truly,

A CORRECTION.

CONWAY SPRINGS, Kan, Oct. 3, 1889.
To the Editor of the Eagle.
Dear Sir-Your paper of today reports
me as having made some very ridiculous
statements in regard to the sorghum in
dustry.
Your informant is in error. If made
any statement at all, it was to the effect
that from 1000, 900 to 100000 pounds
of sugar would probably be made in
Kansas this year. worth in the market
from seventy-five to one hundred thou
sand dollars. Yours, etc.,

Commenting upon the alleged contest
for the pension commissonership and the
rivalry between the kansans named and
the situation in this state as to the flu
ture, politically, the Lawrence Journal
says: The personal friends of Campbell
want Campbell. and the personal friends
of Booth want Booth. But it is a little
like beggar discussing bi-metalism: this
wanting business. The glorious $4,000
looms up like pail over all Kansas as
pirants. SGll the Journal is not a
rebel If fewer Kansas office seekers
are given office this year. there will be a
bigger corn crop than otherwise next"

already without precedent in modern
times, is not yet complete it seems, al
leas, as to the extent of destruction to
human life. Yesterdays dispatches de-
tailed the particulars of another one OF
the most horrible disasters, the blowing
up of steamboat under weigh on the
Mississippi river. Such incidents are
nexpreSsibly horrible, but it seems there
is no way to avoid them. 1t would
seem that they must be the result of

Among the Things a Woman Can Do.

Leavenworth Times
The case of Maggie Kane, the 17-year-
old girl OF Bayonne City who begged
money in the streets to aid her lover
who was out of work and sick, is worthy
the attention Of those newspaper humor-
lists who write funny paragraphs about
"what woman cannot do" etc. There
are number of things that woman
can do. She can love, for instance, with
an intensity and strength of purpose
which o'erleaDs circumstance and takes
no account OF obstacles. Her affection
is indomitable, unchanging, mastorful.
1t is pure, unselfish, and is strongest
when its object needs it most.
The ordinary man is puzzled, amazed
and sometimes awed by the forcefulness
and strength and dislntere sickness Of
woman's love.

ers are at discount, and more than
dozen Presbyterian prayer books are

are being repeated by children in every

ideas which have been sown broad
cast have sprung up and fructified in

educational influence of Episcopacy we
are indebted for the holiday seasons
which are now so universally observed.
1t only being within recent years that
the Catholic church has had relation
with society and fashion beyond the
boundaries of Maryland, the Episco-
palians claim the credit of institutiDg
the Christmas celebrations, the enforce
ment of the Lenten season. and the OBJ
servances of Easter and Whitsuntide.
The low churchmen. however, insist
that Episcopal progression has been Sc

have put an obstacle in the way of fur

THE PLOT THICKENS.

There seems to be no limit TO sensa-
tiOnalism in the CRONIN case, and it
now promises to be the most famous In
the annals of American criminal juris-
prudence. From the very beginning
down to the present time it has been
tangled web of cOnspiraeieS, each sue
ceedIng one more sensational than the
others. The developments made public
yesterday are startling, as they go to
show to what extent it is possible for
corruption to enter within the sacred
precincts of the judiciary, and to hold
high carnival there unsupported by
those who administer justice. The Off
GERS of the court, and those who had
been selected because of their supposed
fidelity to have charge of the prisoners,
were the ones who had been cor
rupted by the conspirators. and
were using their endeayOrS to
secure a bribed jury. But that
avenging Nemesis who is on the track
of CRoNIN's murderers unfolded the
corrupt conspiracy through the confess
sion of venireman who had been un-
derestimated in the price the conspira-
tors had fixed upon him. This last con-
spiracy is in itself the evidence that the
suspects are guilty of CRoNIN's murder.
and establishes the charge of former
conspiracy. The alarming feature about
it is that the conspiracy should be so
widespread, and that it includes those
who have been recognized as the lead
ing men of Chicago. Yesterdays de-
velopments will put the whole Amer
lean people on their mettle, and if
CRoNIN's murderers are not hanged
and the Internal band of cOnspirators
broken up, then we mistake the temper
of the American people. AS long as
there was doubt of the existence of
conspiracy the public were disposed to
give the suspects the benefit of the
doubt. Now that the doubt is cleared
away by their own Infamous conduct.
the public will demand that their pun
ishment be swift and certain.

Purcell Criei- W. E. Purcell was
Cleveland.

Purcell Criti- w. X. Purcell was
district attorney for
cises Dakota under Presi-
dent Cleveland. While
Cleveland. in New York he proved
himself free talker.
AN Interview with him appeared in the
World complaining of the neglect of the
new states by the Democratic national
committee. Another story he told was
to illustrate his present opposition to
Mr.. Cleveland. under whom he was an
offlceholder. He declared that Cleve-
lands defeat had been solely Cleve-
lands fault, and went ont t. say: she
did not stand by his cOlOrS, and, while
individually l have no complaint to
make against him, my own appoint
ment is striking illustration of what l
mean. Mr.. Mclaughlin was an aspi-
rant for the district attorneyship and
was we'll indorsed. He is a son of Boss
Mclaughlin, of Brooklyn. When dis
covered that Mclaughlin wanted the
place l went to Gov. Church. who rep
resented Mr.. Cleveland in Dakota, and
told him that | would not stand in the
way of McLaughlin's appointments, be-
cause believed 1t was good politics for
New York as we'll as Dakota that he
should have it, and New York was the
great stake. Gov. Church told me that
Mclaughlin would not be appointed,
and it turned out as he said. But
could never understand why the place
was given me in preference"
LII further conversation, having at
firmed that he was an out and out Dem
ocrat, Mr.. Purcell, responding to re-
mark that possibly Mr.. Cleveland was
not of the same kidney, said: ''Well, L
hear very prominent Democrats declare
that Mr.. Cleveland was not good DEM
ocrat. Why. only day or two since
called upon eX-GOv. HOadly, of Ohio,
here, who said that Cleveland never was
Democrat, and for that reason was de-
feated and deserved to be defeated.
Hoadly said that in the first Cleveland
campaign he spent $1,000 in money and
gave six weeks of his time, but could
not get anything for himself or friends
after Cleveland was elected. He was
asked to contribute last year, and to
give four weeks of his time, but would
not give dollar or spend day in the
canvass. He said sarcastieally to me
that he told them when they appealed
to him that on the day of the election,
by loud talk at the polls, he would make
it known that he had voted the straight
ticket and wanted foreign mission,
and by that means would expect to get
