An Easy Lesson.

There were two very young women
aged five or thereaboGts and exactly Oe
size. One had long yellow curls tnm-
bling about her round pink face and big,
wide blue eyes that looked fearlessly At
everything. The other was fair, too,
but her eyes were dark and timid and
there were little nervous whirls in her
silky black locks. The pair were tros-
ting along the wide pave Of az uptown
residence street at about O'Clock IN the
afternoon. After three blocks of II Mis-
Blue Eyes said, in Just her mammals

REPUBLICAN FREE TRADERS.

Governor Campbell of Ohio, no doubt
thinks he scores a telling point on his
Republican opponent by declaring that
he (CampbelD is the same sort of protec-
tionist that the Buckeye states patriot
statesman, James A. Garfield, was, but
he does not quote such excerpts as this
from Garfeld's declarations to prove it.
In defense of Republican legislation on
the tariff question and of the principles
of the party he declared:
eve legislate for the people of the
United States and not for the whole
world, and it is our glory that the
American laborer is more intelligent and
better paid than his foreign competitor. +"
The declaration of President Garfield
in which the Democratic governor of
Ohio finds so much comfort is: 1--WE
favor that policy Of protection that leads
to ultimate free trade" That is the sort
of protectionist that grand statesman,
James G. Blaine is, and thanks to his
mastery application of it an additional
market has just been opened for good
many more barrels and casks and boxes
of American pork.

Con,tipation and Insanity.

It is now generally admitted that con-
stipation is productive of serious disor-
ders, that it itaggravates other ailments,
increases the susceptibility Of the system
to infectious diseases and produces q
state of general physical disturbance.
The nervousisystem is especially affected,
and it must be remembered that the
nervous centers are in the brain.
The deleterious effects of constipation
were formerly explained by the pressure
of the hardened mass on the blood yes
sells and nerves of the intestines. But a
different view is now taken. 1t is be-
ieved that they are due to powerful
poisons, which have been proved to be
developed in! the process Of incipient de-
composition
There is reason to believe that extreme
cases Of constipation may result in in
sanity. In some of the worst cases Of
constipation there is a free passage
through the! compact mass, the latter
adhering in thick layers to the walls OF
the intestine$, while the patient has no
suspicion of his real condition.
That grave diseases do not oftenef re-
suit from constipation is due to the con.
stant use Of cathartics on the part Of
those affected. But such use is itself in
furious. The true course is to establish
habits that viii etfectually remove the
tendency to constipation. The muscular
yigor Of the intestines needs to be in
creased by fnvigorating the muscular
system generally with proper outdoor
exercise. Y6uth's Companion.

THE TICKET.

The names of the nominees of yester-
days conventions go to the EAGLES
masthead, for which no straight, true
blue Republican will desire any explana-
tions. Few individuals ever have just
the man that they would have named
for each place, but the tickets chosen
were the ones that suited majority of
the conventions better than any other
ones that could be made up, and the
conventions being large representative
bodies, presumably reflected the choice
of the party as a whole. Almost every
man has a particular choice and friend
ship for some one, but being a party
that believes in the will of the majority
when honestly expressed, as against
the bulldozing and tissue bal
lot methods of the Democratic party,
individual preferences and likes should
always, IN popular conventions, grace
fully yield when found to be in the mi
nority. But the fight of the Republican
party in Kansas is no longer, in any
sense, one of personal preferences. 1t is
one of principle. 1t is for the fair fame
and honest name of our state, as also for
governmental principles and the cause
of humanity which underlies them, for
which the porty goes forth to do battle
this fall. The political fortunes of indi-
vidual candidates are of the least account
as measured against the success of the
ticket which bears their respective
names.
OF the individual qualifications and
excellences of the men composing the
tickets nominated yesterday there is
neither time or room to properly set out
at this late hour. Suffice it to say that
they were the honest choice of major
ity of the 200 representative Republicans,
named in an honorable way and in the
fairest way known to custom or party
usage, and that will be satisfactory to
every unprejudiced and fair minded
party man. The EAGLE will be proud to
make its best fight for such ticket and
prouder still to announce its triumphant
election in November without the loss of
a man.

The body Of an individual animal or
plant is TO be regarded, from the point Of
view of heredity, as consisting Of two
distinct elements. These are germ cells
and body cells the former devoted 70 she
important work of reproducing the race,
the latter constituting the actual bodily
material, and eiseharging all the or,ii-
nary functions through which the indi-
vidual life is maintained. Inheritance is
a matter of the continuity Of the germ
plasm or germ cells, which are handed
down from one generation 10 another in
cumulative ratio, carrying with them in
each case not the features and qualities
of the one predecessor and parent, but Of
all preceding generations.
Assuming that the germ plasin Is liable
TO exhibit variations, we can see how aud
why such variations can be transmitted
to new generations; but we have also to
take into account the influence on the
germ cells Of the body TO which they
belong. While, then, inheritance pre-
serves through the continuity Of the.
germ cells tho stability Of the race, it
gives the rein to variation. and By the
combined inhuences Of environment act
ing on the body of the individual peoples
the world with new and ever varying
forms Of life.-Dr. Alexander Wilson in

TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOL
LARS

This aggregated sum of cash offered by
the stockholders of the Southern Kansas
fair, through their officers. in the way of
premiums, belittles the purses respect
lively rendered by the State Fair associa-
ton at Topeka, as also the sum total Of
fered by the Interstate fair at Kansas
City. While it indicates the strong
faith of the Southern Kansas directory
in the enterprise of the people of the
fifteen counties included in the organiza-
tion, it is now known that many people
will be here from greater distances, and
anxiety is daily expressed as to the abil-
ity of the city to take care of the crowds
who will be here to participate in the
greatest agricultural fair, art show and
horse race ever witnessed in the
state. Besides, every county and every
prominent town and city in Oklahoma
will be represented. The officers of the
Southern Kansas Fair notified the rail
roads that unless the people of Oklahoma
were included in the half-fare arrange
ment there would be state of circum-
stances arise that would be disagreeable
to contemplate. Advices are that people
from all along the Southern Kansas rail-
road, clear out to the Texas Panhandle,
and from along the Mu,vane extension
to Englewood will be here, as from all
the ten lines directly entering the city
from every direction. 1t will be more of
4 state fair and more of an interstate
fair, both, than the Topeka and Kansas
City fair affairs combined.

LaIpIace and Arago.

Laplace was a rather small man, with
q white neckhe, looking very like par
Bon, though he was reputed to be an
atheist, as indeed was the case. BE was
then very old, and used an old mans
privilege, retiring to bed about 9o'clock.
Arago was fine looking man, with a
very fine looking wife, and staneh Re
publican. Laplace, on the contrary, was
weak, and always shifting his politics
according to the time. This led at last
TO such quarrel between him and
Arago that it was not usual for persons
to attend heIsoirees Of both.
When Laplace was near his end Arago
saw man at his own soiree who usually
went to bis rivals, and remarked. ''Ahl
he sees old Laplace is going and so be
has come to me-" It was usual for a
visitor, when once introduced, to 90
regularly, and it was considered rude 70
cut many soirees consecutively. La

after his seiree was over, would sit down

carniroron. Parrots.

The kea, or mountain parrot, Of New
Zealand, greenish- brown bird. formerly
as harmless as others of his class, has de-
veloped cArniverous habit as fastidious
as that OF epicures. 1t used to feed on
the berries that grew luxuriantly on the
hills, but it has changed that simple
diet since the Multiplication OF sheep;
perhaps fires, too, made that natural
food scarce. It now takes terrible re-
yenge on its unconscious enemy,
Fastening itself on the back Of a poor
sheep, perhaps stuck in snowdrift, and
savagely tearing away wool, skin and
flesh, it plh hinges its powerful beak into
the kidney fat, which it devours, and
then, leaving one victim to die in agony,
goes off in search of another. Though it
is as difficult to feel individual affection
for sheep W here they are slaughtered by
millions as 1t would be to care for hogs
In Chicago, the most unsentimental
shepherd cannot refrain from pitying
one of his own flock that he finds in such
a condition, and from invoking maledic-
tions on the whole race of keas.
How they found out that kidney fat
was such d delicacy can only be con-
jectured-perhaps in the same indirect
manner in which Charles Lambs China
man discovered that young roast pig was
good: kea saw a sheep devouring his
regular supply Of food and defending
his property with what beak and claws
he had, his tongue came in contact acci-
dentally with kidney fat. From that
moment the satisfaction of appetite and
the qualification of vendetta were united.

OF THE EARTH, EARTEY.

From the Emporia Rkpubiican.
1t is amusing to note the tone of the
Kansas Farmer snd other Alliance
papers. They speak of partisanship as
being a characteristic of the old parties
exclusively, and an evil from which the
new party is entirely free. The Third
party organization is spoken of as ''the
people," and is represented as being
actuated solely by desire to promote
the popular welfare, as distinguished
from the prejudices and greed OF its
opponents. This assumption of right
eousnes5 would be provoking if it were
not ridiculous. There has never been a
political party IN Kansas whose orators
and organs were more radical and in
tolerant than this same Peoples party.
There has never been a party In Kansas
whose members were more eager for the
loaves and fishes. Notwithstanding its
motto that the office must seek the man,
the new party has never held nomi-
mating convention at which candidates
were not more numerous than dele
gates. There has never been party
since the foundation of the govern
ment whose ayowed purposes were more
selfish and narrow than this same farm
ers' party. Organized In the interest Of
single class ard advocating and de-
manding class legislation, it Is the em-
bodiment of organized selfishness, and
its purposes are utterly at variance with
the spirit of patriotic institutions. Polit-
ical parties are Of necessity partisan.
To pretend that 8 ps-rty is not partisan Is
arrant nonsense and hypocrisy. The
Peoples party is political organization
seeking power, Just like every other
party, It has principles It believes in
and supports, Just as every; other party
has. 1t wants spoiis like! every other
party, only it seems to have an extraor-
dinarily voracious appetite. In short,
this immaculate new organization has
all the weaknesses and vices of the old
parties, without the ir stability and ex-
cellencies. It is of the earth, earthly.
