ARGoNIA, Kan, Jan. -, 1890.
To the Editor OF the Eagle.
In the Forthcoming rebellion the EAGLE
may command its forces against free
joints and Missouri rum; but the farmers
will move $1,000 strong against high
taxation, unwholesome legislation and
subsidized trusts. We believe law
authorizing the manufacture of binding
Irvine from cotton by the state peniten-
tiary and to be sold at cost would afford
relief to the farmers of the state and
help to hold in check the Irvine trust,
and think it should receive an early con-
sideration by our legislature. We also
believe it will afford relief and establish
justice to enact law requiring taxes to
be paid on farm mortgages, the same as
other property, and relieving the mort
gagors OF taxation to the extent Of SAID
mortgages.
One neighbor of mine owns q farm
which is incumbered TO the amount of
81 500. He pays tax on his place, val
ued at $4,000. While he only owns an
terest of $500 in the farm, he pays taxes
on $4,000 and the nonresident bond
holder, who has an interest of 81 800 in
his farm, is permitted to go without pay
ing any tax at all. We fail to see why
this matter has been so long neglected
by our legislature and then defeated
when introduced. And we further be-
lieye the act of the last legislature
establishing police commission to have
been unjust and unwise. Unjust because
it required the farmer and village citi
zen, who are made ineligible to fill said
,onc,fion ord who boro No or
concern about the city offices, to pay
tax for its support, and besides it usurps
the elective power of the city and places
the appointment in the hands of one
man, as though the cities of the state
were incompetent to elect their own
officers.
Unwise because it did not meet the
approval of the people of the state.
We think its repeal by our next legis-
lature would meet with popular favor
from the people, especially the farmers
of the state. We desire the opinion of
the EAGLE as to the ACCESSIBILITY of laws
being enacted IN compliance with the
foregoing suggestions, and other enact
ments that in its opinion would seem
most likely to promote the good order of
society and the financial welfare of the
state. The farmers of this country have
come to the conclusion that our govern.
ment, both state and national has been
run long enough in the interest of the
few, to the detriment of the many, and
will move in unbroken columns
against those whose political action
has been thus characterized. The poll
tician who is not aware of the POLITICAL
revolution which has taken deep root in
Z L.
whatever may be the outcome it will
be for the betterment of the farmers and
laborers of the state and without stagna-
ton to the business interests of the
country. Respectfully,
FARMER

PRIME OF WOMANHOOD.

From the Boston Herald.
One of the truths which this woman's
era, as one calls the present period, has
made emphatic, is that a woman's charm
is not, as the earlier novelists taught and
people generally believed. a thing ex-
clusively of youth. No changes of
thought wrought in the last century are
more marked than those which note the
steady advance in the period of life at
which the feminine part of humanity is
thought to reach Its prime, says writer
in Dress. The heroine of the original
novel was the 14-year-old. "Sweet SIX
teen" and "blooming eighteen" were the
favorite ages less than half a century
ago.
mo woman is so charming as the wo-
man of 30 years" wrote a wise and witty
Frenchman, and many man of modern
society has echoed his sentiment. In
the better circles girls do not enter soci-
ETY. at as early an age as they did when
the big ''old maid" was affixed to them
if they didn't marry by the time they
We're 25. The modern young woman is
busyywith her studies and preparations
for the future up to the age of u and
later.
The age of our grandmothers, who
took the responsibility of life upon them
while they should have been children is
past. The girl who marries at IS no
longer exists, and the old-time fallacv
that the girls are earlier matured than
the boys for the cares of existence is
rapidly giving way to more progressive
thought.
The average boy of 16 or IS is quite as
matured as the girl of that age. She is
no more fitted at that stage of the growth
10 assume the roll OF womanhood than
he Is of manhood. The Spartans recog-
nized this physiological truth when they
made law forbidding their females to
marry under %.
The women of prominence in the
world today, the social leaders and the
society favorltes, are no longer in the
freshness of their first youth. The reign
ing favorites of the present are women
who have studied life. and whose faces
ottener show lines of thought than
cheeks of bloom.
The color of blooming eighteen" no
longer conCealS Its crudities and societv's
queens are oftener women in the thirties
than girls in the twenties; women. more
over. who have something more fascin-
ating than youth, more lasting than
beauty. more real than style. The mod
ern woman is learning the secret which
made Mines. de Stael and Recambier the
rivals of youthful beauties when old age
had claimed them, or would have claim
ed them had it been given chance.
The loneliness of youth is the lowell
ness of the rosebud, but the glory of the
garden is the rose. What woman would
wish always to be is: Who would be
as DR.. Holland expresses it. ALWAYS
kitten: Who would not rather grow
INTO Nine. de Stael than to stay for all
