Boatmen Bewailing the Condition in Which

RIvERMEN look with fearful eyes on the
condition the wharf was left in after the water
receded. The fill in made by the Baltimore

bridge, and large amount of clay was
deposited there. A part of it was cleaned away
by the Wharf Master using line Of hose, but
it remains in a bad condition.

COMPLAINED OF THE NICKEL PLATE
The Method That Road Pursues of Cutting
Passenger Rates.

CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-Some friction exists
between the Nickel Plate and the Chicago
and Erie Railroad relative to second-class
passenger rates. The Nickel Plate runs no
second-elass cars on its trains, but furnishes
its seeond-class passengers with frst-class
accommodations. In this way it practically
reduces irst-eiass rates to second-class fg-
ures. -.e- - -
The Chicago and Erie has entered pro-
test against sucn course, and has notified
the Vanderbilt lines that ii they do not re-
strain the Nickel Plate it will take such ac-
tion as 1t deems necessary to protect its busi-
ness.

extend over an apprec1aDle part or our own lives. A person falls in love- as we say, thus typifying the sharp assault oy which Cupid often surprises the gar rison that so little expects an attack that it has made no preparation for defense. A man and woman fall in love in an hour and perhaps year sees the growth, the climax and the death of what they fancied grande passion, and the fever, though it be sharp, is short, and when 1t is over one looks back upon its delirium and it's sufferings as strange episode of life, one that has left its mark, but thank God is well over.
 But one does not fall into friendship, one grows into it, and generally by slow degrees. We like man or woman; we become acquainted with them; we find, or fancy that their characters are sympathetic with our own; we meet with pleasure and wish to meet again. After awhile network of association, of mutual interests comes to connect our two lives. We rely upon the opinion and respect the judgment of the one we hardly yet call a real friend, and so the tie grows and deepens until in the end it becomes so strong, so ramified, so multi form, that to tear it away leaves rents and gaps through the whole structure.
 To be false in love is to inflict blow upon the cheek. To be false in friend ship is to level another with the dust.
 But yet God forbid that should say or mean that there are no true friends, no true lovers; that all pleasant fruit is but apples of Sodom. No, no, indeed; but as we have often considered the joy and charm of friendship it is fitting that sometimes we should turn the tapestry and look upon the seamy side, if for no other purpose than to take comfort that our own web is so fairly and smoothly woven, and to take warning in time that we may make sure that what we accept shall be no less honest.

THE PREACHER AND THE PRESS.

There seems quite disposition of
late among the Methodist preachers of
south Kansas to run newspapers in con-
nection with their pastoral and pulpit
works. Another venture now comes
from Winfield, with patent double
action adjustable devise that is guar
anteed to afford any ordinary pastor an
opportunity to run his own paper. The
natural tendency of this sort of thing
is to antagonize the secular paper and
the pulpit, the publisher and the
preacher. The preachers papers can only
reach those already within the fold, while
the secular paper reaches the very eie-
ment that the preacher is after. De-
nominational organs are all right and
indispensable, but these little insignifi-
cant, personal, preacher thumb-papers
are a nuisance, being at the bottom
against the best interests of the church
and its work.

AN EXTRA SESSION.

In its calm, high and majestic sailings
around about the starry empyrean
realms of truth the EAGLE has in the
past deserted on one or two occasions,
what it took to be Kansas fool-legisla-
ture, But as there Is nothing absolutely
great or small, true or false, in the alb
sence of a standard of comparison, dark
ness itself being only the absence of
light and black, but the lack of all
color, the supposed Republican fool
legislatures seem now less than a myth
or but strained conception. The
strange and incomprehensible conclu-
sions promulgated from the assembly
hall of lunatic asylum becomes lucid
ity itself when measured to the acts of
the last legislature. Some allowance
was made for the partizan hatred and
for the Alliance prejudice which foisted
a hundred or two extra officials and
extra printing expenses on the people
and which forced the farcicai dynamite
investigation and threw away forty
thousand dollars of the peoples
money, in these times of stress and
depression, on a buncombe impeachment
trial; but when day after day the ALI
ance attorney general appears with sue
ceSsive opinions and manifestos declar-
ing that not only are important acts of
appropriation void, but that the most
important measures Of the session are
not worth the paper they are printed on.
because of fatal blemishes, want of con-
formity. failure of compliance with the
plainest expressed terms of the constitu-
ton, ETC., etc, there comes wide spread
disgust. 1t is even now more than limited
that an extra session OF the legislature at
$50 600 or S100,00 expense will have
to be called to prevent the turning loose
Of the inmates of the mad houses
and other charitable institutions, and
all because of cheap eight-hour
law intended to catch the votes of labor
unions and other honest men. If the
taxpayers Of this state are put to much
more extra expense-extraordina and
foolish expense-because of the blunders
and the corrupt and demagogical tricks
and practices of the self-constituted
leaders and representatives Of the ALI
ance. such as the Elders and PETERS. the
Simpsons and the sam Woods, the said
taxpayers, especially Republican farm
ers, will wish the Alliance movement
| had remained in its home in the heart of
the southern Democratic party.

SWING AND IMMORTALITY,
To the Editor OF the Eagle.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
l read in the EAGLE recently an article
written by David Swing entitled, care
We immortal" and would have been
pleased to have answered it sooner, but
did not wish toneglect my growing crops.
This is the most important question
that ever occupied the attention of man
kind because it involves his future as
we'll as present existence. He says. "to
believe in future beyond it seems essen
tial that one makes the assumption of a
spirit starting point" But why as
sumo it? Would he have us believe the
reason of man was greater than the
revelation of God, when the divine reve-
iation afhrnls that regeneration of the
heart viii produce that spirit which
will carry US across the dividing ocean,
as he terms death, and which we know
by practical experience is more tangible
than the breath of life? He further saws:
But if with Huxley and Darwin we
begin with the assumption of matter,
there seems nothing to throw us over
across the dividing ocean. and we must
remain on the shore of dust. which he
assumes is dead. and says. God is not a
God of the dead but of the living" But
why assume that dust is dead? Does not
every atom have being? Is it not
clothed with omnipotence: Why
divest it of its creator? MAY it not be
some other form of God for the time
being? Where did man get the idea
that the world was created out of moth
ing and will return to nothingness again:
How could something be produced from
nothing: Why reason away the omni-
presence of God and replace it with
matter. leaving Him on the other side:
Is it not easier TO believe that during

Professor Swing further says all the
reason for creating such a beng as man
remains for continuing his existence.
This IS simply abused in view of the fact
that man is sinful and unworthy Of ex-

far higher here than anywhere else in
the world. Taking New York as an ex-
ample, and the number of marriages
there in proportion to the population is
less than in other sections, it is found
that there are S.S marriages to every
+ 900 persons against 68 in Sweden, 7.3
in Belgium and 1855 in Great Britain.
The favorite age for bridegrooms is be-
tween 80 and 80 and for brides being 20
and %. One-sixth Of the girls married
before they were of age, but only 126 in
a total of 1856 men. Of men ninety
seven, and of women twenty-five, were
over fifty when they embarked in
matrimony.
Notwithstanding the common belief
that the widow is very dangerous per-
son, the new statistic show like all 9th
ers, that far more widowers than widows
indulge in second marriages; indeed the
chances are very great that a man
who has lost his wife will marry again.
1t ought to be regarded as high tribute
to marriage that those who have tried it

second time. 1t is the same in regard to
women as represented by the widows,
but they find it harder-possibly from
the anti-widow jokes, which have pre-
vailed since Sam Weller's days-to get
that second husband for whom they are
looking.

RIDICULOUS ABsURDITY.

When politics becomes so hot that the
families of men of different faith will
not associate by reason of that differ
ence, it is time to call halt, for such
rank partisanship is a mild form Of
anarchy. The Coldwater Enterprise is
reliably informed that just such con-
dition exists in a certain part Of
Comanche county, where the wife of a
staunch Alliance man refuses to be
neighborly with near neighbor because
said neighbor and family associate with
another neighbor who is a red Re-
publican. What would be thought of a
family of Republicans in this or any
other city that would refuse to recog-
nize a neighbor family because they
were Democrats? or of Democratic
family that would refuse to trade at the
store Of a Republican? There would be
just as much sense in the action of
Presbyterian refusing to employ a
physician who is Methodist, or Baptist
to decline to ride on a car on which
Catholic took passage. The idea is
simply absurd, and nobody appears as
ridiculous as the person whose lack of
sense and proper appreciation of the
civilities and amenities of life causes
such an one to thus act.
