An Anticlfmax.

AT meeting of the Woman's Press
club, in Washington last winter, very
important topic came up for discussion.
Every member was interested in it.
When Miss Helen Waterson rose, silence
and expectation settled upon the assem-
bly, She put the whole matter right in
few clear, crisp, logical remarks. As
Miss Waterson took her seat again there
came still, small voice from the admir-
ing group behind her. 1t was intended
for whisper, but it penetrated every
nook and corner of the room. 1t said:

ENTHUSIASTIC.

One of the most enthusiastic meetings
OF the campaign was held in the Sixth
ward last night. There was large attend
ance, the gray hairs of those who have
grown old in the Republican ranks, and
the dark locks of young men who will cast
their first votes this fall for the Republi-
can nominees, being almost equally
divided. Mr.. J. l. Carson spoke tellingly
the questions dividing the parties, and of
the duties of all loyal Kansans in this
election. He showed up the fallacy of the
Alliance propositions, and demonstrated
beyond dispute that the grand old party
always has been, and now is, ready and
competent to handle every question of
finance and public policy wisely
conservatively, and satisfactorily. He was
frequently applauded, especially when he
referred to the ticket, aud 10 the history
of the men who compose it. When he
closed, the audience broke into spontan-
eous cheering, and woke the echoes with
their hurrahs, men in their enthusiasm
waving hats and handkerchiefs and shak
ing each others hands. NJ. NJ. McAlister,
NJ A. Carvin and T a. Bayley followed in
short, telling speeches, and at the close of
the meeting there was regular old time
Misunderstanding.
The Republicans of the Sixth are &c r
tainly awake and stirring. and the opposi-
ton will certainly have something upon
which to mediate when the votes are
counted next Tuesday night This is
Charley Mosbacher's own ward, but if he
is looking for the Republicans who elected
him councilman to aid him and Rufus ia
knocking the sheriff's Office plum he will
then be both a sadder and a wiser man, if
there was any sincerity in last nights
meeting. The Republican vote there is
going to be large, and it is going to be
STRAIGHT

Nov and :, 1891.
To the Editor of the Eagle.

| To the Editor of the Eagle.
Our people who attended, doubtless have
| in mind the fine entertainment afforded
them by the convention last year. and the
Sunday school workers are still showing
in their increased zeal and better work its
influence and the benefit they derived from
it. 1t has been the intention of the execu-
tive committee to have the convention OF
this year, far ahead of the last one. To
this end the program has been prepared
with great care and among those who will
probably be present, helping, are some of
the best known of the Sunday school
workers in our own state, and indeed,
some are of national reputation.
Rev. Jesse Bowman Young, pastor of
the Grand Avenue NJ. Z. church of Kansas
City and president of the Topeka Chau-
tauqua assembly, viii speak on Methods
of Bible Study Friday afternoon. He
will also speak Friday evening on that
subject so important to all parents and
those interested in the boys and girls,
What Are Our Young People Reading?"
DR.. Young will no doubt help all who hear
him on this subject.
Mr.. J. F. Drake of Topeka is a member
of the state executive committee and
prominent Sunday school worker He is
pronounced by those competent to judge,
very fine, indeed He will talk on Friday
afternoon on Wise Methods of Sunday
School Management" and on Saturday
evening on Gathering Up the Frag
menus"
w. L. Detroit of Topeka, superinten-
dent of the American Sunday School
union, of the Rocky Mountain district,
will talk about Sunday Schools Wrong
End Up" and his extensive experience
with ali kinds and conditions of Sunday
schools will undoubtedly enable him to
reverse the position and place matters be-
fore the convention right end up"
George S. Bourne. president of the Reno
county Sunday school convention and cor
responding secretary of the state assoCia-
ton, will talk on the Use of the Black
board" and will also, on Saturday after
noon, conduct a normal lesson. Those
who know Mr. Bournes direct, positive,
earnest methods, need no assurance that
his talks will be full of suggestions.
OF our home speakers we need say
nothing, their names bear the assurance
that they cannot be heard without benefit.
The committee on music will no doubt
provide some treats in that line, and alto
gether we think that our Sedgwick
Sunday school workers will be
greatly benefited and entertained on Nov.
and 4
All the delegates to the convention will
be entertained by the hospitalble people of
Wichita, and schools over the county are
urged to send delegates. Let
every Sunday school in the county be
represented and much good will be done.
