RECREATION.
When and Where to Find and Enjoy 1t

When ana Wnere TO F1nd ana ENJOY IL.
To the Editor of the Eagle.
At this season all are looking forward
to at least brief cessation from business
and home cares, and while many cannot
afford the luxuries and expense of the
fashionable resort, an occasional picnic
in some pleasant grove close by brings
happiness to many a weary soul, and
finds a responsive chord in the hearts of
the little ones, whose merry prattle and
laughter is a recompense for those who
direct the innocent and refreshing amuse-
ments.
For those who can only take a ten
days jaunt, some health giving retreat
within easy distance is sought, and such
a place the writer visited a few days
ago. While many have heard of the
health giving qualities of Geuda Springs
few have a comprehensive idea OF the
wonderful restorative powers of the
various waters to be found at this resort.
People have been carried there upon cots,
and in a few weeks walked away
with the sprightliness of youth, while
others with no particular ailment found
a few baths in the mineral water health
full and invigorating. The cool and pure
atmosphere. with delightful country
surrounding brings the bloom of health
to the pleased and happy visitor. The
springs are seven in number. each pos

THE PRESENT ENGLISH PARLIA-
MENT.

The conservative ministry Is stumbling
along in England with a majority which
has steadily shrunk ever since they part
ed with Lord Randolph Churchill and
which lately, on an important measure,
amounted to only thirty.
The government now proposes to make
their determination to alter the rules
question of confidence, and, if they are
defeated, to dissolve parliament and APP
peal to the country.
The leader of the house of commons,
Mr. Smith, is completely worn out, and
will soon be sent up to the house of lords
to rest. and, upon his retirement, Goschen
and BalfOur will contend for the vacant
position.
Balfour has been the real leader of the
conservative party ever since Chur-
chill resigned, and although, under
his leadership, their magnificent major
ity has dwindled perceptibly, yet he can
maintain that his party still retains a
majority.
He has filled a position which is gen
orally considered to be the hardest post
in the British government, viz: the posi-
ton of Irish secretary.
All the reports which six months ago
were freely circulated with regard to the
approaching dissolution have been proved
to have been idle rumors and it now
seems quite likely, that having existed
for half of the utmost length of tiUue
during which a parliament can live, that
there will not be any dissolution of par
lament for the remainder of the term of
three years and half
If it does last the full seven years the
present parliament will be the first one
that has enjoyed such lease of power
for quite period in the history of Great
Britain.

WILL FIGHT THE PROPOSED REDUC-
TONS IN GRAIN RATES.
From the K. C. Star.

From the K. C. Star.
The report of the interstate commerce
commission to the United States senate
on the result of its investigation into
western freight rates has aroused the
western railroad men.
The report finds that the present mini
mum rates on corn and oats of 20 cents,
Missouri river to NJ ssissippi river, are
excessive and should be II and ~ cents
respectively. 1t finds, further that corn
and oats from Kansas and Nebraska
points to the river should be Z cents
lower, and finally that the rates of 46
cents on grain and 81 cents on flour and
meal from Kansas to Texas are grossly
excessive for the longest distance of 500
miles, and are likewise discriminating,
in that the same rates are charged for
distances of $50 miles. Chairman Walk
er, of the Interstate Commerce Railway
association, declares the enforcement of
the proposed rates will be disastrous.
The roads themselves hardly know what
to do. Such prominent men as General
Managers Chappell, of the Alton, and
st. John, of the Rock Island, see only a
loss in such rates, even with such a crop
as that of the last year. The strongest
possible arguments will be presented to
the commission at Washington, beginning
July s, TO induce it to forego the making
of the reductions.

BE LOYAL TO KANSAS.
From the Kansas City Gazette.

From the Kansas City Gazette.
The following from the Leavenworth
Times Is what we wanted to say, but IN
the exuberance of our party zeal we
couldn't find the heart to do it. The
Times heads its dispatches from Wash
ington Loyal TO Reed which suggests
to us the conundrun. In view of the im-
PORTAGE of the issue and the manifest
local character of it, WHO In thunder Is
Reed" We notice that Townsend Of
Colorado, was loyal to Colorado, and
Carter of Montana, was loyal to that
state, while Senator Wolcott of Colorado,
was in favor of hurting from power an
administration that did not suit his state
on this local business issue. Kansas had
two men-Funston and kelley-who
were loyal TO Kansas, the other five
seemed to be loyal to Reed, which IN
this case was but pretty monkeying
about the construction of certain parlia-
mentary rules the result of which is to
put the silver bill in position where it
can be handled by its enemies. We
agree with the Times that it is time TO
be loyal to Kansas on economical ques
tions. Our contemporary say:
The Kansas City Gazette concludes
which party shall have the credit of
passing the silver bill. We may be mis-
taken, but to Ills it looks like a straight
fight between the silver and gold men,
with some who claim TO be silver Repub-
hcans controlled by the caucus to help
the gold men. The silver men are fight
ing TO bring the senate bill Immediately
before the house. The gold men want it
referred to committee. Why do they
want it referred: If it is their intention
TO pass the bill, why do they not take the
shortest cut and pass il? There need be
no question about who shall have the
credit of passing the bill. Let the Re-
publicans go right in with the Demo
Gratis and adopt the senate amendment
and they will have due credit. The peo-
pie of the country, and of the west
y. ant free silver coinage, and
they want it bad. They have little
patience with this parliamentary monkey
work. This is a business and not polit-
lcal question. If the bill is passed the
persons voting for it will get due credit
for their votes. But if, in this squabble,
the passage of the bill should be defeated
there is no question about who will be
held responsible. The Republicans in
congress can not afford to continue this
The members from Kansas
can not afford to longer obey the dictates
of the caucus on this question. They
want to scramble right over into the sill
yer camp and stay there. 1t is a little
hard to consort with Democrats, but on
such questions as this no politics should
be known.

MIR. HoRNER ON eRUMBLE CORNER
From the New York Independent
n man and bia naune u-aE Hornar

From the New 40rk independent
knew a man and his name was Horner,
Who used TO live on Grumble corner;
Grurnble corner in Cross Patch Town,
And he was never seen without frown.
He grumbled at this; he grunbled at that;
He erowled at the dog; he .growled at the cat;
He grumbled at morning, he grumbled at night;
And to grumble and growl were his chief delight
He grumbled so much at his wife that she
Began to gTumble as well as he;
And all the children wherever they went,
Reflected their parents discomfort.
II the sky was dark and beIokened rain,
Then Mr.. Horner was sure 10 complain;
And if there was never cloud about,
He'd grumble because of a threatened drought.
His meals were never to suit his taste;
He grun bled ar having to eat in haste;
Or else he hadn't had half enough.
No matter how hard his wife might try
To please her husband, with scornfu eye
He'd look around, and then, with scowl
At something or other begin 10 growl-
One day as Iotered along the street
Ny old acquaintance CHANGED 10 meet,
Whose face was without the look Of care
And the ugly frown that it used to wear.
Il may be mistaken, perhaps" l said,
As, after saiuting, turned my head;
Who lived for so long on Grumble corneri'
met him next day, and met him again,
In melting weather In pouring rain,
When stocks up and when stocks were down
But smile somehow had replaced the 1rown.
II puzzled me much; and 50 one day
seized his hand in a friendly way.
And said: Mr.. Homer I'D like to know
What can have happened TO change you so?'
he laughed a laugh that was good TO hear,
For it told Of Il conscience calm and clear.
And he said with none OF the Old-time drawl:
w by, I've changed my residence, that is all
Changed your residence?' Yes said Horner,
1T wasn't healthy on Grumble corner,
And so ! moved; twas a change complete,
And you'll find me now on Thanksgiving street."
Now, every day. as move along
The street so filed with the busy throng,
watch each face and can always tell
Where men and women and children dwell;
And many disconnected mourner
Is spending his days on Grumbe corner.
Sour and SAD whom long to entreat
To take a house on Thanksgiving street.

"THE BACKACHE CURE"

From the New York Star.
The physical culturists" what else
shall one call them?-have devised what
they call the ''backache cure for those
women who always pay that penalty for
a half day Of shopping, or of entertain
ing. or for the long walk that seemed so
exhilarating in the taking. The thing a
woman usually does when her back
aches is to go and lie down fiat on the
aching back. This, say the physical cul-
turists, Is exactly the wrong thing to do.
The proper caper-it is somewhat of a
caper as you shall see-is to rest on the
elbows and knees. with the elbows
stretched clear forward, so that the
shoulders may touch the support upon
which the person rests. Still another
rest, recommended for the same pur-
pose by these wise persons. Il that OBJ
tanned by lying on such on incline as Is
offered by the head of a lounge. with the
head at the lower part OF the slope and
the feet at the upper-if the slope be
long enough. One woman who has
made trial Of the new resting idea Is
loud in its praise, and If a woman does
not mind being a little absurd and ex-
tremely awkward in her own eyes for
few minutes each day. surely there Is no
reason why she should not have all the
comfort and diversion she can find IN 1t.

1t is the prerogative not only, but the
duty Of ministers of the gospel 10 con-
denim sin and all manner of unrighteous-
ness in season and out of season, but it
strikes us that they go beyond the bounds
OF reason, as they certainly do of Christ
ian obligation and propriety, when they
publicly counsel mob violence against
persons who, although violating the sense
of morality entertained by such coun-
sellers and good people generally, are
vet not guilty Of violating any valid
written law, As was done by q minister
at Ottawa a day or two ago. The rever-
end gentleman evidently forgot the
Divine injunction of BE not overcome
with evil. but overcome evil with good.

vender or purchaser Of an inhibited arti-

The increase in population east and
west, relatively, is very cleary and no
doubt accurately shown by the figures
given for two of the representative cities
Chicago and Baltimore. Chicago is
credited with an increase of 100 per
cent in population, while Baltimore is
given about 33 per cent. These are no
doubt fair examples of the general
situation in this respect in the two
sections. 1t is probable that some of the
southern cities will show increases
pretty nearly equal with western.

The ruction that has sprung up between
Powderly and Gompers, the heads re-
spectively Of the Knights Of Labor and
Federation of Labor, would seem to have
already assumed an irreconcilable degree
Of intensity. However, it may be only a
seance arranged between them for the
purpose of putting little animation into
the two orders pending the approaching
meetings Of the general assembly of each.
Since the Alliance has become so ag-
gressive and prominent the labor organi-
cations of the country have been given a
back seat, so to speak.

Kate Field is disguised with the pro
hibitionists She, like a sensible woman,
talks straight to the point. She de-
tends the two foremost officials of the
land in this manner:
IF the reformed Presbyterians who, in
synod assembled, lately censured Presi-
dent Harrison and Vice-President Morton
for using wine at their tables, and praised
Mr.. Wanamaker for not using it, would
take a leaf out of Mr. Wanamaker's book
and let people drink what they please,
they would come nearer the example of
the master they profess to serve. Reform,
like charity, begins at home, and it would
be well for these impertinent busybodies to
reform themselves. What appals me in
all this effable business is that these re-
formed reformers call themselves Chris
tians, when Christ's first miracle turned
water into wine, and His last supper
actually consecrated wine as His blood!
The position Of prohibitionists is, from
Christian point of view, downright bias
phemy; and these are the people who pre-
sumo to revise the morals of the president
and vice-president of the United States"

All the world over the students are
raising Cain. In Russia they have for
some time been noticeable, and now it
seems that they are causing their inAu
ence to be felt in Japan. They would
seem to be illustrating the truth of the
charge, that "a little knowledge is dan
gerous thing" The incident that Oc-
CURED at our own beloved Harvard a
short time ago indicates that the Ameri-
can student is not many removes from
the condition Of impulse that seems to
to actuate his European and oriental con-
frere.
