GIRLS AND MONEY.

An Injustice Done to Many Young Women
by Otherwise Good Fathers.
While so many wives are still in bond
age to husbands purse-strings, it is
perhaps idle to plead for freedom for
the daughters. But is not q certain in
justice in money matters done most
girls who, after twenty-one, remain in a
fathers house? 1t is 80 hard for the
fathers to realize that the girls are
grown up. and that dependence, even
on one who loves you, has its trials.
Many girl feels keenly this bondage,
especially if, as often happens, she must
in asking tell for what she wants the
money, thus subjecting her desires to
another's Judgment Indulgence and
justice are very different things; and in
money matters all women of sense pre-
fer the latter. A fair recognition of
claims is dearer to them than thought
less and spasmodic generosity, and the
trust involved is the sweetest compli-
mont to their good sense.

WITH AN APoLoGYTo OUR READERS

It is very sad to see how the Hutchinson

1t is hoped the writer of the last para
graph quoted feels better since the de-
livery of its bastard aspersion upon the
EAGLE. 1t the editor of the News knows
anything it knows that the EAGLE was
the first, and for months the only, paper
IN Kansas that attacked the railroads of
the state for their unjust discrimination
against the citizens Of this state in the
matter Of freight rates, and that it was
mainly through the efforts of the EAGLE
that action was finally had in the direc-
ton of correcting the inequalities. 1t
may have been and evidently was an
objectionable sin in the eyes of some Of
the latter day converts TO the emergency
rate" idiom, that the EAGLE did not go
to the indefensible and ridiculous length
of demanding concessions from the
roads that they could not meet without
actual loss. 1t is scarcely necessary for
the EAGLE to state that what it has de-
manded and will continue to demand is
simply justice and fair treatment to all

TARIFF AND KANSAS SENATOR'S
HATS.
From tha Chtcacn Haralt-

From the Chicago Herald.
Senator Ingalls, wears one of those lit
tie soft hats with a narrow brim and a
rakish bow on its band. Senator Plumb
wears a silk hat in fine, cool weather. but
on cloudy days dons a broad SLOUGH
Chapeau, which makes HIM look more
than ever the cowboy statesman he IS.
Therefore. these two senators We're much
interested in the contents of a letter sent
them by a citizen of Washington, Mr.
Sunamcam. This gentleman, who APP
pears to know something about hats, in
vites the senators TO an object lesson in
their own head covering. He points out
to Senator Plumb that the broad SLOUGH
hat. for which the senator no doubt
paid =, was made of scraps and
cuttings. whereas if the hat maker could
get felt at reasonable prices and in salts
factory quantities without being compel
led 10 pay tribute to the ring Of import
erS, they could make and sell such hats
at $50 apiece and pay their workmen 10
per cent more wages than now. Accord
ing to this gentleman, there Is in this
country combine Of felt importers,
about twelve in all, one Of whom IS now
an executive officer of the government,
WHICH ms contracted WIN al the EURO
pean and foreign felt manufacturers for
all the felt required for American CON
sumption at European prices. This felt
after importation IS thrown into the
bonded warehouses. and any domestic
felt coming to market finds 5 way to
the same combine. The combine
thus gets possession Of all the felt
so that all the hat manufacturers are
compelled to manufacture the hats for
the combine at the larter's price per
dozen or stop their plants. The felt Is in
bolts of web form and Is cut bv the com
bine for the hat manufacturers as a tailor
cuts his cloth. not one inch over in the
completion of dozen hats made to anv
given size. The combine receives the
bats weekly by hundreds of thousands in
boxes, and paws for the manufacturing
thereof at contract prices. Hence. the
hats become the property of the combine
and. thereafter, ii marks Its prices per
dozen in accordance with quality. stvle
and finish OF hats. This i an object
lesson. indeed, said Senator Plumb.
Three dollars and a half tribute on one
hat, and that made of scraps. Is too
much for even q patriot Ike mvseIf.1

so glibly advocated by new lights with
out business sagacity or craftsmanship.
Another erroneous doctrine is being
now promulgated and passes current in
certain quarters: that national bankers
by expanding or contracting the cur
| rencv can bring prosperity or adversely
to all classes of the people.
The truth of the matter is. no bank can
be run profitably without depositors, and
plenty of them. In prosperous times de-
positors increase in number and volume;
the money on deposit is lent to CONNER
cial and manufacturing firms, and all
classes including national bankers
are making money. Money is plenty,
people invest it in various enterprises:
farms and town lots bring prices above
and beyond their real value, and the first
indications of a panic is usually the fail
ure of large banking establishment
Then depOSitOrS become tim and with
draw their deposits, thus increasing the
force of the panic now virtually estab-
hshed; the banker must refuse credit by
the force of circumstances: he must care
fully guard the money of his patrons,
on the collection of debts. To

are indebted to the bank must
sell good at whatever they viii
bring. Property of all kinds rapidly de-
clines in price and will continue falling
until the accumulated savings of the ma
ton bring confidence and prosperity
again to the people. To assert that the
banks We're the cause of the panic is an
assertion which like many others has no
in fact.
1t is strange that it is in prosperous
times most men become indebted to 9th
ers, and IN hard times they struggle to
pay debts contracted when everything
wore a rOseate hue.
1t is to the interest of the grocer and
dry goods merchant TO sell all the com
they can in their respective lines
of business, and it is also to the interest
of the banker to keep afiOat as much
money as he can with safety to the in
terests of himself and patrons who rely
on his Judgment. Yours respectfully,

Governor Francis has offered a reward
of $500 for each of the men engaged in
the Otterville train robbery. The Kansas
City Star expresses the hope that this
may stimulate the search for the robbers.
The Star says the state of Missouri can
afford to spend a great deal more money
than that in hunting down the despera-
does who held up the Missouri Pacific
train on Sunday morning. No amount
which may be required to bring them 20
justice would be misSpent. Train rob
berries happen in other parts of the coun-
try, but in no other state can they do as
much general harm as in Missouri. They
should be rendered impossible" The
most effective, if not the only way, TO
do that is TO catch and punish to the ex-
tent of the law the perpetrators Of such
Outrages.
